paper, this is my home John F. Kennedy told us to ask not what the country could do for us, but what we could do for the country.

I am no John F. Kennedy, but when I am asked to do something for my newspaper, I tend to do it.

So when our editor, Kate Schott, asked me to become the news editor of the Morris Herald-News as we transitioned to a weekly print edition with a continued vibrant online presence, I was more than happy to take the position.

It’s going to be a bit of a change for me. My career in newspaper – starting right here at this publication in the early 1990s to The (Joliet) Herald-News and now back again to Morris – has been as a member of the sports staff.

During that time, though, I picked up a few things here and there, and I will do the best I can to help the Morris Herald-News remain your go-to place for local news.

I have always made my home in Morris, so what affects this town affects me.

A little background on me: I was born in Morris Hospital, just a couple of weeks before Apollo 11 landed on the moon. I attended 12 grades of school in Morris, graduating from Morris Community High School in 1987 (staff writer Heidi Litchfield was in the same graduating class).

While in high school, I had a pretty decent run as a baseball player and held a few school records when I graduated. That was before future major-leaguers Scott Spiezio, Kelly Dransfeldt and Billy Petrick came along. I played a couple of years at Purdue University before transferring closer to home to University of St. Francis and then my right shoulder told me it was time to quit playing baseball.

VIEWS Rob Oesterle I started with the newspaper as a part-timer in sports, taking phone calls at night in the early 1990s. I ventured out of the newspaper business in the mid-90s for a few years, working for Panduit Corp. in Lockport, before a full-time opportunity presented itself at the Morris Herald in 1997 and I came back.

I worked as a sports writer until August 2001, when I took over as sports editor. In 2003, I went to The (Joliet) Herald-News, where I was a sports writer and page designer until 2011.

After becoming one of the many casualties of downsizing in Joliet when The Herald-News was under the Chicago Sun-Times umbrella, I freelanced until Shaw Media bought The (Joliet) Herald-News in January 2014, and I returned to work for Dick Goss in a part-time capacity in February 2014. In May of that year, I came back to Morris to serve as the assistant sports editor and have been the lone full-timer in the sports department here ever since.

Morris couple shares their love story, prepare to celebrate 65 years of marriage

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Patricia (Mahoney) Durkin was a young woman working for ComEd in customer service in 1950 when another employee, John Durkin, came up to the counter and caught her eye. When she went home that day, she told her mother about the man.

“I went home and told my mom I just saw a boy with the most gorgeous red hair,” Patricia said.

Two weeks later, her mother answered a knock at the family’s front door and there stood John, an Irishman with a head full of red hair.

“My mom answered the door and said, ‘You must be the handsome redhaired man,’ ” she said.

Patricia said she was mad at her mom for saying that – but in the end, it didn’t matter. Patricia and John fell in love and were married June 9, 1951, in a Catholic church in Chicago, not long after their chance meeting at work.

While the red hair is what caught Patricia’s eye, John’s eye was caught by something else.

“She had a nice butt,” John said with a wink in the couple’s home in Morris, where they moved in 1975 and raised their six youngest children. “I used to follow her home to look at it.”

Lois Durkin Darlington, of Morris, the youngest of the couple’s 11 children, smiled as she listened to her parents talk about how they met. It’s her favorite story and one she often asks them to recall.

Not long after their wedding, Patricia was pregnant with their first child, Kevin, and John was drafted into the U.S. Army. As they drove to John’s drop-off site, “Harbor Lights” played on the radio.

The song would become “their song” and even today as they listen

Patricia and John Durkin will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on June 9. to it, their thoughts drift back to John leaving so early in their marriage.

“It was playing as we were waiting for him to be picked up to leave,” Patricia said as she listened to it last week on her daughter’s smartphone.

John received emergency furlough and was able to return home in time to see their first child born.

See VALENTINES, page 41

5 Tips from the Durkins to maintain a marriage 1. Find out what works with what you have and who you love. It won’t be the same for every couple. – Patricia 2. The wife is always right. – John 3. Answer your husband with, “Anything you say, honey,” and let him think he’s the boss. – Patricia 4. Give your wife a lot of love. – John 5. Don’t take your spouse for granted. – John and Patricia

Runners return to Frosty 5 Mile race

Race enters 37th year with Valentine’s theme

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – For an outdoor February event to be a success for 37 years, there has to be something special about it.

Channahon Park District’s Frosty 5 Mile race returns Sunday for the 37th time, when more than 250 racers will take off at 1 p.m. from Pioneer Path School, 24920 Sage St. in Channahon, as males and females of all ages compete for top honors.

Channahon Park District Program Coordinator Jackie O’Hara said the race keeps people coming

back each year, mainly because it is in February.

“It’s not often you find a Midwest outdoor race in February,” O’Hara said. “So there must be something good about it.”

The timed race is on a USA Track & Field certified course. Awards will be given to the top overall male and female, as well as the top three in each age group.

O’Hara said race organizers are excited about an added twist this year.

In observance of Valentine’s Day, female runners will receive carnations while other themes of the holi-

day will be sprinkled throughout the afternoon.

“We wanted to take the opportunity to play into the Valentine’s Day theme this year,” O’Hara said.

Because of its placement on the calendar, weather often factors into attendance, O’Hara said.

In most years 250 to 300 runners partake, traveling from as far Champaign and Chicago for the race.

“It’s the oldest race in Will County,” O’Hara said. “It’s a scenic route, and we give out stocking caps instead of shirts.”

The first 300 runners registered will receive an official race hat. Pizza and refreshments will be served before the awards ceremony.

Narcan training for police on hold

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Police throughout Grundy County were scheduled Feb. 2 and 4 to receive training at Morris Hospital on how to administer Narcan to people experiencing an opioid overdose.

That was until Morris Police Chief Brent Dite and the hospital agreed to delay training until all details are worked out regarding the necessary approvals for training, acquisition and dispensing of naloxone hydrochloride, better known by the brand name Narcan. The medication can reverse a potentially fatal overdose almost instantly and is used to help fight the heroin epidemic.

An Illinois Department of Public Health and Illinois Department of Human Services joint news release in January stated, “administrative rules and special policies are still being developed, discussed, and prepared for dissemination.”

The release stated the departments anticipate initiation of the approved training programs in early spring.

Dite said in his and Morris Hospital’s interpretation of the latest Narcan legislation, passed in September, the training program needs to be approved by the state’s Health Department before it is implemented.

“We are still absolutely happy to help our local law enforcement officers and fire departments learn how to administer Narcan, once we see what the state’s requirements are,” Morris Hos-

Shaw Media file photo

Naloxone hydrochloride, an opioid antagonist, is packaged in two pieces that must be fitted together before being administered. pital spokeswoman Janet Long said.

“We appreciate the state wanting to ensure consistency among programs.”

Some police departments have learned from their corresponding fire agencies how to use Narcan, but Dite believes that training needs to be done by medical professionals and approved by health departments since administering it is a medical procedure.

“I would have to agree with [Dite],” Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan

said. “They can say we’re not liable if something were to go wrong when administering it, but everybody in this line of work knows you can be liable.”

Some police agencies in the state, such as the Minooka Police Department, already have undergone training. Fire agencies in Illinois already use Narcan. Meanwhile, the DuPage County Health Department’s DuPage Narcan Program recently saved its 100th life.

Callahan said that although he doesn’t want to bash state legislators, it appears lawmakers did not fully contemplate the unfunded mandate when it comes to cost and a practical timeline.

He does not intend to request funding from the Grundy County Board for an independent program, because he knows the county has its own financial challenges.

He suggested the state look to the DuPage Narcan Program – a collaborative effort among DuPage County’s coroner, sheriff, state’s attorney, health department and chiefs of police – for a model of what the mandate should entail.

“I would hope the state would reach out to DuPage County,” Callahan said.

“I don’t know why they wouldn’t.”

Callahan said the state could ask DuPage about specific training methods, but also wondered if DuPage would have to change its program and tailor it to what the state wants.

Dite estimated the initial training will cost the Morris Police Department $2,500 in addition to a possible refresher course. Morris Hospital is providing the training at no cost.

However, officers have to attend the course on their off day, which incurs overtime pay. Officers also can attend during their shift, but it would require departments to pay other officers to cover them while not on duty. Dite said about 50 officers from agencies throughout the county were scheduled to attend both Feb. 2 and 4.

D-101 in Morris expects $500K in savings from retirements

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In October, Morris Community High School District 101 decided at a finance committee meeting to look into how the district could save $500,000 in its education fund.

On Monday night, Superintendent Pat Halloran told board members he believed the 8 percent reduction in salary and benefits would be possible.

“Through PMA projections we saw a need to reduce spending so we wouldn’t need to tap into our modest reserves in the education fund,” Halloran said after the meeting. “We wanted to do this with minimal impact on the students.”

Halloran explained to the board the savings largely would come from veteran staff retiring.

A handout he gave to the board outlined where the district will potential-

ly see the savings.

Administrative changes with the retirement of Athletic Director George Dergo, and the move of Assistant Principal Jeff Johnson to that role, coupled with the hiring of a new assistant principal, could save the district $66,000, according to the handout.

Other savings because of retirement could be found in the art department with the retirement of Chris Hankins.

Halloran believes replacing that position will save the district $63,000. The retirement of Barb Rath and Cindy Shannon in the business and math departments will save the district $252,643. He said at this time the district will not be hiring replacement teachers for either of those positions.

There will be reductions in the industrial tech department and family consumer science department that will save the district another $46,000.

The industrial arts teacher will go to

“Through PMA projections we saw a need to reduce spending so we wouldn’t need to tap into our modest reserves in the education fund. We wanted to do this with minimal impact on the students.”

Pat Halloran

Morris Community High School District 101 superintendent half time, and Zan Higgins, the current family consumer science teacher, will teach two periods of culinary arts for the Grundy Area Vocational Center if the program fills up, reducing pay from the district.

Elimination of a half-time science position and foreign language overloads will save almost $60,000.

Halloran said the school’s Spanish teachers are taking on additional classes to meet the demand of students, but he feels those extra classes won’t be needed next year.

There will be an additional $14,000 in savings with the bookkeeper replacement in the district as well.

Halloran said he doesn’t expect classroom size to be affected much by these changes, and he expects the affect on students to be minimal.

The largest expense in the education fund is salary and benefits, which accounts for about $6.2 million.

Halloran said new employees cost less than veteran employees, so there is a natural savings when a retiring teacher is replaced with a new one.

MORRIS – Overnight stays at Grundy Area Public Action to Deliver Sustenance shelters are at an all-time high.

Grundy Area PADS board President Tom Hardman said the shelters, which are hosted by various churches in Morris, recently have seen as many as 19 people in one night.

“I’m not really sure why,” Hardman said. “Whether it be the economy or something else, it’s been an interesting year so far.”

Hardman said a five-member family that has fallen on hard times has stayed many nights at the shelters, which help protect those without a place to sleep whom are vulnerable to winter weather.

Several Morris churches become Grundy Area PADS homeless shelter sites from mid-October to mid-April.

Peace Lutheran Church and First United Methodist Church host two

“It can be quite difficult for two volunteers, in some cases, to serve or handle 19 people.”

meal, breakfast and a sack lunch for the next day, as well as general assistance, according to a PADS news release.

Some shifts at some churches have less volunteer help than others, Hardman said.

“It can be quite difficult for two volunteers, in some cases, to serve or handle 19 people,” Hardman said.

With the increase in numbers, Hardman said PADS leaders feel they’re doing a lot of good for the community.

“It’s nice when those who stay the night shake our hands and say, ‘Thank you for what you’re doing for us,’ ” Hardman said. “It makes it really worthwhile.”

Each morning, visitors have to pack up their belongings and leave for the day. Hardman said PADS leaders are in touch with We Care of Grundy County and that the idea of a permanent shelter at We Care has been discussed as a potential long-range plan.

We Care, however, still is developing its 18,000-square-foot building at 530 Bedford Road in Morris to fit its immediate needs, Hardman said.

“We Care has a huge building,” he said. “But we would have to find a way to set up funding for a shelter there.”

MORRIS – Heart disease isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when most think about a newborn baby, but according to statistics on kidshealth. org, about one in every 100 newborns has congenital heart defect, which can range from mild to severe.

To promote awareness about infant heart defects, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers has joined the American Heart Association’s Little Hats, Big Hearts program.

“Heart disease does affect babies,” said Theresa Reece, manager of Morris Hospital birthing suites. “We screen all newborns for heart defects before they go home.”

Congenital heart defects are structural problems with the heart present at birth. They occur during heart development soon after conception and often before the mother is aware she is pregnant, according to the American Heart Association.

Reece said the red hats each baby will receive in February help educate about the purpose of those screenings.

The national program started Feb. 1, when Morris Hospital joined more

unteers knitted and crocheted more than 18,000 hats for the Little Hats, Big Hearts project in Chicago.

Locally, the red hats that will go home with February newborns were created by community volunteers.

Janet Long, public relations manager with Morris Hospital, said when patients and their families at the Morris Hospital cardiac rehabilitation department heard about the need for red hats, several volunteered to make them.

Before long, they had spoken with members of their respective knitting and crochet circles, and the hats were delivered to the hospital in time to be handed out to the first babies born in February.

The Little Hats, Big Hearts program started in Chicago three years ago, according to an American Hearth Association news release.

The release stated that 300 hats were distributed to nine hospitals in Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com the first year, and last year, volunteers Dustin Scott Jr., newborn son of Shannon Fitch and Dustin Scott Sr. of Mazon, wears a red from all 50 states and six countries sent hat at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers’ birthing suites Friday before going home. in more than 15,000 hats, which were distributed to about 20 hospitals in the Chicago area. Little Hats, Big Hearts than 30 other Chicago-area hospitals in the typical baby colors offered the rest now has spread to more than 30 states participating by giving all newborns of the year. and more than 300 hospitals across the born in February red hats, instead of American Heart Association vol- country.

Linda Schmitz, owner of Floral Designs and Gifts, creates a bouquet using bright pinks and purples that includes roses and stargazer lilies.

Traditionally, red roses signify love, and yellow roses signify friendship, according to Harlow. Having a conversation with the florist instead of just grabbing a bouquet of flowers can help get the right message across.

Harlow also recommends reaching out to the florist early to give them an idea of your valentine’s personality to make sure they have the flowers in stock that you want.

“If you give a florist a few days, they can get something in. Just plan ahead,” she said.

For those who don’t always plan ahead, Schmitz and Matteson both said they carry ready-made bouquets for cash and carry.

MORRIS – There is more to picking out Valentine’s Day flowers than just grabbing a dozen roses, according to Kaitlyn Harlow.

“It’s all about the person and their personality,” said Harlow, of Kinsman and former adjunct professor of floral design at Joliet Junior College. “A traditional person would love getting a dozen red roses, but others would prefer gerbera daisies, freesia or tulips.”

Harlow said she personally would prefer purple lisianthus, a flower that kind of resembles a rose.

Linda Schmitz, owner of Floral Designs and Gifts in Morris, said roses are still one of the most popular flowers for Valentine’s Day, but she also sells tropicals, orchids, tulips and hydrangeas.

Both Schmitz and Harlow said the gift giver shouldn’t be afraid to steer away from the traditional pinks, reds and whites of the holiday.

“Purple flowers with greens and whites are one option,” Schmitz said.

“You can also combine pink and purple with some greens if they want more Valentine’s Day color.”

Harlow said for the more laid-back, traditional country girl, perhaps a bouquet of vintage off-white, peach or pale pink would work.

“For vintage, I would put together antique and pink roses with some eucalyptus,” she said. “But if your girlfriend screams of color, go for it.”

Donna Matteson, owner of Strawberry Plant Boutique, said hot pink and orange creates a vibrant bouquet for a more bold person.

All three agreed that the type of flower chosen also gives a signal on the seriousness of the relationship.

“If the couple is young and not serious, he could choose tulips, or sunflowers and stock, something different and unusual,” Matteson said. “It’s important to have a long-lasting flower to make a good impression.”

Grundy police departments aim to address traffic accidents at intersection

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County board voted Tuesday night to reduce the speed limit to 40 miles per hour on Ridge Road in Minooka from Brannick Road to Route 6.

“In the last three years we’ve seen an increase in crashes at the intersection of Ridge Road and Misty Creek Drive,” Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said during a phone interview before the meeting. “We hope this will reduce the number of accidents.”

The change was approved, 13-0, with

Harold Vota, Eric Rasmussen and Vicki Gieger absent. The speed limit on Ridge Road from Interstate 80 to Brannick Road is currently 40 mph, but from Brannick Road to Ridge Road the speed limit has been 45 mph.

Grundy County Engineer Craig Cassem said once approached by Myer to reduce the speed limit, the county completed a speed survey that showed the prevailing speed is 45 mph.

Cassem said that it also makes sense to have a consistent speed for the entire length of the road through Minooka, which altering the speed to 40 will do.

“In the last three years we’ve seen an increase in crashes at the intersection of Ridge Road and Misty Creek Drive. We hope this will reduce the number of accidents.”

Justin Meyer

Minooka Police chief

Jury costs

The County Board on Tuesday also voted, 13-0, to send a resolution to the state addressing increased jury costs to the county.

The Grundy County Board adopted a resolution last July increasing the pay for grand and petit jurors from $15 to $25 for the first day, and $50 for each day following while serving on the jury, which was part of a new state

law that went into effect June 1, 2015, that also reduced the number of jurors needed in civil cases.

On Dec. 21, a Cook County Circuit Judge declared the new law to be an unconstitutional infringement of the right to trial by jury.

The resolution states that Grundy County cannot pay the increased juror fee if the law requires the county to return to a 12-person jury.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Emergency Management Agency was tasked in December with getting information to the public after heavy rainfall caused flooding that closed several rural roads.

GIS Director Dave Ostrander was approached by Grundy County EMA Director Joe Schroeder to see if there was an easier way to share information to the public.

“Joe approached me and said his posts to Facebook about road closures had reached 32,000 views,” Ostrander said. “He thought there had to be a better way to get the information out there.”

Ostrander said he got to work on an application that would allow EMA work-

ers and dispatchers to input closed roads that would get the information in map form out to the public as soon as it is entered.

The application is in beta testing to see how well it works. The application will allow those driving who find trouble areas to input a road closure. It also will allow dispatchers taking calls to input the information at a desktop computer.

Once the information is put into the application, it will be pushed to a map that will be embedded on the county website, which can then be shared on social media and through traditional media outlets to let the community know which roads to avoid.

He said as crews get out and clean up areas, such as a downed tree, they can go into the application and show the road is

open again.

Ostrander said another use of the application would be with the county highway department where County Engineer Craig Cassem would be able to

put in scheduled road construction letting travelers know when a road will be closed.

He said after the group completes beta testing, it will be refined before go-

The AreA’s LeAder in WATer TreATmenT.

MORRIS – A Braidwood man was arrested early Saturday in Goose Lake Township by Grundy County sheriff’s deputies and charged with a felony count of possession of a controlled substance.

James D. Hexdall Jr., 20, of Braidwood, was traveling north on North Coal City Road about 2:30 a.m. when he was pulled over by a deputy who observed him cross the center line several times, as well as he and a passenger “making furtive movements,” according to a Grundy County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

Once stopped, Hexdall handed his license and insurance to the deputy in a nervous manner, the report stated.

Both Hexdall and the passenger said when asked they had nothing illegal

in the vehicle.

After a second deputy arrived, a free air sniff of the vehicle was conducted by a K-9, which alerted to contraband in the driver’s-side door of the vehicle. The deputy then observed Hexdall chewing something, and rather than spit it out when asked, Hexdall attempted to swallow it, according to the report. The second deputy then held Hexdall’s throat to keep him from swallowing until he spit it out.

Two small bags were recovered. A 2.2-gram bag tested positive for methamphetamine and a 1.8-gram bag tested positive for cocaine, the report stated. Hexdall said, according to the report, that the bags belonged to the passenger, who he said told him to put the bags in his mouth.

Hexdall was taken to the Grundy County Jail to await a hearing. The passenger was not charged.

WAUPONSEE TOWNSHIP – Starting Monday, residents living on weight-restricted roads in Wauponsee Township will have their regular waste and recycling pickup halted because of weight limits placed on rural roads.

Residents will need to transport their trash to designated dumpster sites unless advised otherwise by their waste hauler. Residents living on Gulley, Lund, Lynn and Vanderpool roads in the township are the only ones affected, according to a news release from the county.

All other residents will have their garbage pickup continue as normal.

Residents who live on the affected roads may use the dumpster at the Wauponsee Township Building located at Route 47 and Southmor Road.

Recycling will be temporarily suspended for the affected residents.

“The spring thaw brings many issues for our area township roads,” the county stated in the release. “As the ground warms up, the frost under the roads melts and creates soft spots.

These soft spots can be easily damaged by such actions as a heavy truck driving over them. The damage adds to the cost of road maintenance to taxpayers and takes money away from other needed projects. To help avoid these extra expenses, weight limits are established to limit the amount of damage to the roads.”

Regular waste and recycling pickup will resume once weather and road conditions stabilize.

For questions or concerns, call your waste hauler, township official or the Grundy County Highway Department at 815-942-0363. Visit www.grundyco. org and click “Quick Links” to view township maps that show which roads have restrictions and information concerning these road postings.

Area high school students win Good Citizen Award

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

Good Citizen Award winners

MORRIS – The Alida C. Bliss chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Morris chose four area teens to receive its annual Good Citizen Award.

Recipients are chosen from senior boys and girls who attend Morris Community High School, Minooka Community High School, Coal City High School or Gardner-South Wilmington High School.

“This may be the best set of essays we’ve had,” DAR Regent Alice Klusak said.

This year Jessica Jurak represented Morris, Kylie Anne King represented Gardner-South Wilmington, John Patrick Halloran represented Coal City, and Sydney Arlis represented Minooka.

The students are required to fill out personal history that must include home and community activities, as well as future plans, extracurricular activities and qualities that make a good citizen.

The students may handwrite or type an essay, but the computer cannot have access to the Internet. They have two hours to complete their essay and cannot use any reference materials, the Good Citizen Award material states.

This year, students were asked to answer the question: “Of our American rights and freedoms, which one would you choose to celebrate and why?” in the essay, which is limited to 550 words.

Jurak, whose essay was chosen to compete at the regional level, discussed the freedom of speech and its effects on American freedom.

She further explained that the freedom of speech has influenced the knowledge of history through opposing viewpoints and opinions.

Halloran also focused on the freedom of speech and discussed how the freedom is celebrated every day through social media posts, discussions at the family’s dinner table and when a student raises his or her hand to ask a question in class.

Arlis’ essay focused on religious freedom, which she said gave Americans complete liberty of mind, body and soul.

“Two things separate us from the rest of the world, our heritage and our free-

doms,” Arlis said.

King chose to write about the right to be equal and said after learning of the march Martin Luther King Jr. did in Selma, Alabama, the right of equality became more important to her.

The students were judged by three judges, who are not DAR members and rank them based on scores.

CHANNAHON – Traffic was briefly diverted Tuesday morning in Channahon after a weather-related crash involving a school bus and car. The incident occurred between 7 and 8 a.m., Channahon Police Deputy Chief Adam Bogart said. A Channahon School District 17 bus was traveling north on Tryon

Senator Sue Rezin hosts flood prevention meeting

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

“The city is in the process of looking to do a study with mapping and a hydrology study,” Kopczick said.

“We’ve also taken steps to mitigate the flooding.”

Kopczick said the city addressed areas hard hit by the 2013 flooding, specifically the area that caused Morris Hospital to have to evacuate patients.

He said he feels that area has been fixed and shouldn’t see flooding that would affect the hospital again.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, told Grundy County residents who attended a flood prevention town hall forum last week how the Illinois Valley Flood Resiliency Alliance is pulling communities together to work toward flood prevention.

“It’s about sharing information about flood management. It’s about sharing what we’ve learned,” Rezin said during the Feb. 3 meeting. “This model, the alliance, is about small farm communities with modest means pulling together, and their willingness to make hard decisions about addressing the flooding issues.”

A panel made up of Grundy County Chairman David Welter, Grundy County EMA Deputy Director Tom Kulasik, Ottawa building official Mike Sutfin, and Paul Osman, national flood insurance program coordinator for the Illinois Office of Water Resources, each presented facts about area flooding and how residents can address the issues before opening the floor to a question and answer session.

Rezin said that in the 2012 flood maps, the most recent released, homeowners who weren’t previously in a flood plain were finding themselves in one, and were receiving bills for flood insurance, which prompted calls to her office.

“We’ve had creeks flooding that have never flooded before,” Rezin said.

Sutfin, who has been key in addressing Ottawa’s flood issues, said these concerns need to be addressed at a local level.

Welter said the meeting was one way to bring Grundy County communities and residents together to look at flood prevention, something he be-

“Tonight was a call to action for our local communities to come together and address this issue,” Welter said.

Flooding in the City of Morris

Bryan Martindale, principal water resources engineer with Knight Engineers & Architects, said he had looked at the 2012 flood maps and he believes there are issues in the official mapping which stemmed from a 1992 study.

He said the data used is questionable and that data from the East Fork Nettle Creek, which flooded in 2013, was outdated. He said in his opinion, some of the areas currently in a flood plain should not be.

To have the maps changed, a com-

munity would have to pay to have a hydrology study done.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said after the meeting that is exactly what the city of Morris is working on.

Osman addressed flood insurance and some misconceptions about the flooding that has repeatedly occurred in the area.

“There is no such thing as a 100year flood. It happens every year in Illinois,” Osman said.

He further went on to explain that flood insurance is available to every resident of Grundy County whether or not they live in a flood plain, and for those who do live in a flood plain, there are ways to determine if they should actually be in one.

“If it has four walls and a roof above ground it’s insurable,” he said.

“If your agent tells you that you can’t buy flood insurance, you need a new agent.”

Kinzinger speaks to seniors at Minooka High

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, spoke Monday to a group of Minooka Community High School seniors during a school assembly.

It was the congressman’s third visit in three years to the school’s Central Campus, according to social studies teacher Nicole Bolek, to talk with seniors enrolled in government, honors government, AP government and Joliet Junior College government classes.

“We like to provide our students the opportunity to learn about government in action,” Bolek said. “Our job is to hold our elected officials accountable, and I want them to value that at a young age.”

Senior Andrew Jepsen introduced Kinzinger at the assembly. Jepsen already knew Kinzinger, a former Air Force pilot, through his process of applying to the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Jepsen also has an interest in politics.

“I want to major in political science,” he said. “It’s the one subject that’s always interested me.”

It was always a fascination of Kinzinger’s, too: Growing up in Bloomington, he told the students, he read newspapers and paid attention to government even at a young age.

“I believe God makes you with one

“I got my head straight and went back to school and got straight A’s,” Kinzinger said. “I realized in college the importance of getting that education ... and being who you are supposed to be.”

Kinzinger also talked about the presidential race after a student asked what he thought of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“I’m not a Donald Trump fan,” he said. “I like Jeb Bush. New Hampshire will be a very interesting state to watch. ... A third of the voters are still undecided.”

Kinzinger also offered a tip on getting along with others.

“A Democrat and a Republican believe in the same things,” he said.

“They just want America to work. So quit hating your friends who disagree with you.”

When asked about the state’s budget quagmire, Kinzinger said, “Springfield Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media makes Washington, D.C., look like we Minooka Community High School senior Durane Jones Jr. asks U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, have our act together.”

Grundy County VAC seeking college student, veteran intern

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Veterans Assistance Commission is seeking a college student, who also is a veteran, to fill an open position within the office for a VA work study position.

Ken Buck, superintendent of the Grundy County VAC, said Wednesday that the office has been without an intern for the past six months, and hopes to fill it soon.

“We are looking for a veteran who is using VA education benefits to intern at our office,” Buck said.

The intern position is paid minimum wage for up to 25 hours a week based on the student’s current enrollment.

Buck said for a veteran to be eligible, he or she must be enrolled in classes that constitute at least a three-quarter load, dependent upon

the institution’s definition of full time.

Buck said filling the position is difficult because the office needs the intern to work daytime hours throughout the week, which is typically when a student is in class.

“We’ve been lucky that we’ve had someone who could work five days a week because they were enrolled in online classes,” Buck said. “We need the intern to be available at least three days a week.”

The program is paid for through the VA as part of the student’s VA education benefits.

The intern will provide administrative support and will work with the transportation division of the Grundy County VAC. Buck said the agency is looking for someone enrolled in the spring semester.

For information on the intern position, eligible candidates can call the Grundy County VAC at 815-941-3152.

Grundy Bank offers 7 Tips to Frustrate a Fraudster During Tax Season SPONSORED BY

The weeks leading up to April 15 often leave consumers vulnerable as W-2s and tax returns circulate over the internet and through the mail with their personal information. According to a Javelin Strategy and Research study, 12.7 million Americans were victims of identity fraud in 2014.

Though down from 2013, it remains the Federal Trade Commission’s number-one consumer complaint.

“Identity thieves look for every opportunity to steal your information, including tax season,” said Randy Matravers, Assistant Vice President. “Consumers should be on high alert and take every step they can to protect their personal and financial information during this time.”

To help consumers do that, Grundy Bank offers the following tips: Don’t share your secrets. Don’t provide your Social Security number or bank account information to anyone who contacts

you online or over the phone. Neither your bank nor the IRS will ever contact you requesting this information.

Beware of phishing emails. Phishing attacks occur when criminals use ‘spoofed’ emails and fake websites to coerce consumers into sharing personal information.

Fraudsters try to pose as the IRS but don’t be fooled. The IRS will never contact you through email.

Keep an eye out for missing mail. Fraudsters look for mail containing your financial information, including your W-2’s. If you don’t receive something you think you should in the mail, contact the IRS immediately.

Report any suspected fraud to your bank immediately. Additionally, if the IRS denies your tax return because one has previously been filed under your name, alert the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490.

More information about tax identity theft is available from the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov/taxidtheft and the IRS at irs.gov/identitytheft.

For more information, call Morris-based Grundy Bank, (815) 942-0130, or visit www.grundybank.com.

Morris Bakery offers 26 flavors of paczki

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – No matter what your favorite flavor is – strawberry, peaches and cream, raspberry or red velvet – chances are Bob and Darcy Elleson and their clan of six children are making it in paczki form.

The fourth- and fifth-generation bakers are the first to offer paczki at the family-owned bakery, Morris Bakery.

“We started making them around 2000 after I saw a Polish bakery featured on the news,” Bob said. “It’s become our biggest day of the year.”

Fat Tuesday is the last hurrah before the Christian season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. In Polish tradition, that means indulging in paczki.

Originally, mothers and grandmothers made the sweet treats as a way to use up ingredients in their kitchens before Lenten fasting began and they went to waste.

Today, the popular Polish treats are offered across the country in an array of flavors.

Morris Bakery started with 20 dozen its first year. This year, staff made 10,000 paczki – which will be sold in one day.

“They are so delicious and they are only available one day,” Darcy Elleson said when asked why they are so popular.

The entire family – Bob, Darcy, Nick, Holly, Lauren, Jake, Carly and Ethan – were at the bakery Monday night surrounded by racks of the treat in 26 flavors.

Each person pitched in with the frying, cutting, filling and frosting as they came into the home stretch.

Jake Elleson sprinkles powdered sugar on the paczki as his sister, Lauren Elleson Ralston, holds the tray Monday night at Morris Bakery.

The family started preparing fillings “By the end of the day someone three days in advance. The brownies in cries.

Darcy Elleson said she and Bob couldn’t do it without their children.

Some can put in only a few hours before they have to go home to get ready for their day job. Others will spend 24 consecutive hours – or more – at the bakery to be ready in time.

with siblings or just the fatigue from preparing 10,000 paczki at some point, they know someone will break down.

But that changes at 4 a.m. when the slap-happy crew gets their second wind and pulls it together to open the doors for the morning at 4:30 a.m.

This year a strawberry shortage could have led to tears, but Bob Elleson stepped up to save the day.

After Darcy Elleson was unable to get strawberries locally last week for a cake order, Bob devised a plan.

“I picked up about 200 pounds of strawberries in Plant City, Florida, and drove them the 1,200 miles home,” Bob said.

He said he wanted to go see his father in Florida anyway, so he decided to take the trip to pick up what the family describes as the freshest and tastiest strawberries they’ve ever had.

It’s a good thing Bob got them because the strawberry treats are Jake and Ethan’s favorite flavor. Holly and Nick prefer the maple bacon while Carly prefers the cannoli and Lauren likes the birthday cake paczki. On Fat Tuesday the bakery only sells paczki and king cake. Patrons have to wait until the holiday is over to enjoy the typical doughnuts, coffee cakes, cookies and cakes the bakery sells.

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – The Braidwood Police Department wants its officers to have body cameras, so it has registered with a program that will help offset the cost.

The department has registered with BodyCameraDonations.com. The website gives residents the opportunity to directly donate money to fund body cameras for the Braidwood department.

Braidwood already has and uses three body cameras, one for each shift.

They were purchased at a price of $600 to $700 each, Braidwood police personnel manager Tari Atherton said.

Depending on the type of body camera, the cost could several hundred dollars each.

“That’s where the donations help,” Atherton said.

Braidwood is seeking about 10 body cameras, enough for two to three a shift for use by the department’s 17 officers. But that could cost thousands of dollars.

The cameras will help improve police community relations, Chief Nick Ficarello said in a news release from BodyCameraDonations.com.

The body camera program was started “to protect our officers in liability issues and to add confidence

Nick Ficarello

for the public and our community,” Ficarello said in the release.

“They will add near-total transparency if there is any inquiries or questions pertaining to police response,” he said in the release.

Ficarello said legal proceedings on a past false allegation of sexual harassment against a police officer during a traffic stop could have been quicker had the camera been rolling to show the officer wasn’t even in the location of the alleged incident at the time.

“The officers are required to record any time they have contact with the public,” Ficarello said in the news release. “This will quickly put a stop to frivolous complaints against officers while doing their job.”

Souper Knowledge Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – Eight tables of brainiacs attended Saturday evening’s Souper Bowl of Caring Trivia night at Peace Lutheran Church.

The teams competed against one another to see who had the most knowledge on an array of subjects.

While some questions fall on the “easy” spectrum, like “What does the S in NASCAR stand for?” other questions required a bit more knowledge in specific areas, like texting, where contestants had to answer what specific texting abbreviations stand for such as BRB and IMHO. Shirley Kiss, who founded We Care of Grundy County, the beneficiary of the funds raised, was the judge with final say on whether an answer would be accepted or not.

Final results showed the top three teams as: • First – Lamscatos • Second – Mad Hatters • Third – Trivia Crack-ers

BUSINESS VIEWS

Youth philanthropy group expands in Grundy Last month I discussed the Community Foundation of Grundy County’s 2015 grant recipients, as well as our unrestricted grant process. I want to make everyone aware of a new grant program we have started.

In 2015 the Community Foundation began a Youth Philanthropy group in partnership with Seneca High School.

This group of high school students was entrusted with $5,000 to grant out to area nonprofits. Several organizations were asked to present on their programming and provide details as to how they would use funds if they were a recipients.

After hearing presentations from

the organizations, the Youth Philanthropy group decided to provide grants to We Care of Grundy County, Seneca Food Pantry, Youth Service Bureau of LaSalle County, and Pet Project Inc. The group continues to meet this year; however, a few things have changed. The group does is now open to all Grundy County high schoolers, and will no longer consist of just Seneca High School students.

Another big change is the way decisions will be made regarding where to grant funds. Last year specific organizations were asked to present to the students based on the student’s inter-

ests; this year, there is a grant process and it is open to any 501c3 nonprofit.

Although this year’s students have a particular interest in animals, mental health, the environment and feeding the hungry, all organizations are encouraged to apply. The application process is much like our unrestricted grant process, but there is a deadline for the Youth Philanthropy grant application.

All grants must be received no later than March 17. Information on our grant program can be found at www. cfgrundycounty.com. Grants can be sent via email (devan@cfgrundycounty.com) or mail (520 W. Illinois Ave.

Morris, IL 60450), to the attention of Devan.

The Youth Philanthropy group was established to not only allow students the opportunity to give, but also to educate them on the organizations in their communities.

The students take this process seriously and would appreciate learning about your organizations and how they can potentially impact those you serve. For information, contact Devan by email or call 815-941-0852.

Family Fest to showcase Grundy organizations for all ages

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For the first time in several years, the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Annual Family Fest is set to take place in Morris.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 20 at Shabbona Middle School, 725 School St. in Morris, families are invited to have some fun while seeing what various Grundy businesses, nonprofits and other agencies have to offer.

After being hosted by the Minooka and Channahon area in recent years, Grundy County Chamber of Commerce and Industry Executive Director Christina Van Yperen is excited about the prospect of holding 2016 Family Fest in the county seat once again.

“I hope we have some people from Morris and the southern part of the county who haven’t attended in a while,” Van Yperen said.

No matter where you commute from for the free event, visitors will notice once inside more than 40 booths on display, comprised of county businesses, nonprofits, police and fire districts, and more.

The consumer expo is designed to show people the goods and services available to them in the county.

“Sometimes people will travel out of the county to buy something, not knowing that it may be available here in Grundy County,” Van Yperen said.

But what makes the family theme work are all the attractions and activities aimed at keeping children occupied and helping them burn off energy they’ve been storing all winter.

OPINIONS

31

Last week, a reporter said to Gov. Bruce Rauner that Secretary of State Jesse White had suggested that Rauner bring in former governors, including George Ryan, to help break the long governmental impasse which has prevented the state from having a budget for over seven months.

Rauner laughed and said, “Uh, wow. I’m not gonna talk about the failures of the past that created this mess. I focus on the future. I don’t live in the past.

“We’ve had failure in our elected government for decades. This mess didn’t happen overnight. And what we’re not gonna do is reproduce the dynamic that created it.”

The governor laughed throughout most of that last sentence.

Bringing in graybeards has been tried before without success. Gov. Rod Blagojevich asked former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert and then-Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard to town to help him pass his massive construction proposal that Speaker Michael Madigan refused to agree to. It didn’t work. The two men left town as soon as they realized how hardened Madigan’s position had become against Blagojevich.

Madigan’s long history clearly shows he forces the other side to negotiate against itself until he believes they’re close enough to his position.

Rauner has clearly not moved far enough away from anti-union proposals and things like term limits for Madigan’s taste.

And Rauner, for his part, seems fed up with the whole process and has taken to issuing repeated dire warnings of political consequences to Madigan’s Democratic members if they continue backing the Speaker.

But as we saw not long ago, when rank and file Senate Democrats rejected the pension reform compromise negotiated by Senate President John Cullerton, most Democratic legislators are in no mood to work out a deal, either, and continue to insist that the governor come to the table and finally agree to a budget instead.

Late on Thursday, Chicago State University officially declared a “financial exigency,” which could lead to the reduction of tenured faculty and drastic reductions in programs in

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW Rich Miller order to save the school from closure.

The state’s only majority black university had already announced last month that it would run out of money to pay salaries in early March.

CSU gets more than a third of its funding from the state, more than all but one other 4-year public university in Illinois. But the governor has publicly complained that taxpayers have been throwing Chicago State’s money “down the toilet” and wants drastic reforms. The governor has been talking about his grand plan for years, long before he was elected.

He never made it a major campaign issue, but it’s clear from looking at his past statements that he believes Democrats will eventually side against the unions and with social service agencies (and places like the CSU campus and the Chicago Public Schools) if he can, in his own words, “drive a wedge” into the party. The object is to make the Democrats choose between money for their pet causes or union rights.

He’s shut off the money, but he hasn’t yet driven that wedge.

That’s probably why Rauner looked like he was attempting to tank the Chicago Public School’s bond sale last week with loud demands that it should go bankrupt and be taken over by the state. Without that bond sale, the school system would’ve been in danger of shutting down. The object here appears to be to create so much chaos that the Democrats finally start negotiating in order to save all the programs and institutions they’ve been building for decades.

The real chaos is yet to come. We’ve seen smaller social service agencies close, we’ve seen larger agencies shut down vital programs, but so far nothing huge has happened.

It’ll probably take the “death” of something very important and very large to test this theory.

Make changes that benefit the county

The Grundy County Land Use Department would like to wish all of the residents, industrial and commercial partners a very happy new year. As we start off the 2016 season, we look toward making changes to benefit the county.

Earth Friendly Valentines: As St. Valentine’s Day approaches, many of us are thinking about buying cards to reflect our appreciation for those we love. Why not appreciate your love one and protect the Earth by making your own card using items that would normally be recycled?

The items that you will need include construction paper, glue, scissors, magazines and previously received greeting cards. Clipping the photos that best express your feelings, glue those onto construction paper and include a nice sentiment to the one(s) that you love.

Another method is to send your love ones who are farther away an ecard.

Events

E-waste Events: NOTE All Ewaste Events will require that residents provide a photo ID that indicates that they are a Grundy County resident.

We will also be strictly enforcing one TV per vehicle. There will be events the following dates and locations: • April 16 – Environtech • June 11 – Diamond Village Hall • Aug. 6 – Braceville • Oct. 8 – Seneca We also will have the following events this year: • March – Earth Hour • April – Earth Day Event; Trashformations for Students • May – Wind Farm Tour; Shredding Event • June – Bernie’s Book Drive; Paint Recycling • July – Tire Collection

Planning, Building and Zoning Offices

Building Code: This year will bring the adoption of the 2015 International Building Codes, 2014 National Electric Code, 2015 Illinois Energy Code, and the 2014 Illinois State Plumbing Code to the county. As our office is concerned about the life safety of the residents, we want to ensure that the most up-to-date construction practices are being applied to your remodeling and new homes. Prior to the adoption of this, we will send a copy of the draft to the Southwest Suburban Homebuilders Association for its comments.

Once the code is adopted by the Grundy County Board, we will send the differences needed on the plans from the engineer/architect and inspections.

Stormwater Ordinance: We expect that the county-wide Stormwater Ordinance will soon be be adopted by the Grundy County Board. Once adopted all of the municipalities and county will be enforcing the same standards for all stormwater and flood plain management. This will provide consistencies throughout the county and for better management of stormwater in a regional perspective. This will be helpful to the residents as a whole.

The Stormwater Commission consists of six County Board members and six municipal representatives, along with County Administrator Doug Pryor.

We are always here to help and if there are any questions, please feel free to contact my office at 815-941-3229 or by email at hmiller@grundyco.org.

Morris Hospital sponsors We Care’s Fill-the-Pantry program SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Morris Hospital sponsored the Fill-the-Pantry for We Care held Jan. 29 and stocked the pantry shelves.

Morris Hospital provides support to We Care in numerous ways, including providing funds and volunteers for three mobile pantries per year. This was the first time the Morris Hospital filled the pantry in the new building at 530 Bedford Road, and so it was a new, fun experience for everyone.

Sponsorship of the Fill-the-Pantry program has always been vital to the day-to-day operations of We Care, but is even more so now that the pantry program has expanded to include all towns in Grundy County. We Care has increased the delivery schedule from one food truck per month to two in order to meet the needs of struggling residents in Grundy County. Since the pantry expansion began in January, 52 new families from outside of Morris have used the service.

“Morris Hospital is happy to partner with We Care as they expand their food pantry program to include all of

Grundy County,” said John Roundtree of Morris Hospital.

We Care would like to express its appreciation for Morris Hospital and

other organizations that are involved in the Fill-the-Pantry. We Care relies on help and support from Grundy County businesses, churches and or-

ganization to provide help to Grundy residents in need.

Many of the Fill-the-Pantry slots are filled for 2016, although there are still openings available in the fall. The cost to sponsor a Fill-the-Pantry is $750 and We Care requests five volunteers to come the day of the delivery and help stock the shelves. In addition to increasing the number of food deliveries, We Care would like to add more shelves to the pantry itself, and is seeking donations to help purchase those shelves.

For information on how your organization can assist, call Eric Fisher at 815-942-6389, ext. 4.

Upcoming Fill-the-Pantry sponsors include, The First Presbyterian Church of Morris, LyondellBasell and Immaculate Conception School.

We Care is a local nonprofit agency that provides emergency assistance to Grundy County residents in the form of food, clothing, rent, utility and prescription assistance. We Care is a United Way partner agency and is funded primarily by private donations.

“

The state designation is important because it tells emergency medical services and the public that we have the ability to stabilize, diagnosis and treat acute stroke patients, provide acute care, administer medications quickly, and provide rehabilitation therapies safely and efficiently.

”

Cara Marco

2 South manager, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers stroke coordinator

Morris Hospital gets stroke center designation SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Six months after being awarded Primary Stroke Certification from the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program, Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers was upgraded from an Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital to a Primary Stroke Center by the Illinois Department of Public Health.

In order to achieve the Primary Stroke Center designation from IDPH, Morris Hospital had to demonstrate achievement of stroke certification from a nationally recognized certification body such as HFAP.

“The state designation is important because it tells emergency medical services and the public that we have the ability to stabilize, diagnosis and treat acute stroke patients, provide acute care, administer medications quickly, and provide rehabilitation therapies safely and efficiently,” said Cara Marco, 2 South manager and stroke coordinator at Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers.

In order to be recognized as a Primary Stroke Center by IDPH, hospitals must have a program director with extensive experience in acute stroke, a stroke code team available to respond

to the patient’s bedside within 15 minutes, lab testing and advanced imaging and CAT scan capabilities available 24/7, access to neurologists 24/7, arrangements to transfer patients needing neurosurgical expertise within two hours, a designated stroke unit, and educational requirements for staff.

Marco says Morris Hospital has been enhancing its stroke care over the past few years in preparation for pursuing Primary Stroke Center designation.

“Today, we follow evidence-based standards for the care of stroke patients,” Marco said. “In addition, we are initiating treatment for stroke pa-

tients faster than ever since the creation of our Code FAST team. Our patient care staff is highly educated on the care of stroke patients, and we’re educating the community about stroke warning signs and symptoms. I can confidently say stroke care at Morris Hospital is better than ever, as evident by our designations from HFAP and IDPH.” The HFAP stroke certification must be renewed every three years with a mid-cycle review at 18 months. The IDPH Primary Stroke Center designation will automatically renew with the HFAP certification.

Morris Hospital Neurology Specialists move Joliet office to Channahon SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Dr. Peter Analytis, and Dr. Isaac Mezo, with the Morris Hospital Neurology Specialists have moved their Joliet office to the Channahon Healthcare Center of Morris Hospital at 25259 Reed St. in Channahon.

The Kendall County Forest Preserve District is helping a neighbor in need.

District commissioners recently gave their approval to allow horses owned by Aliboo Farms to board three pregnant mares for a few weeks at the Ellis Equestrian Center.

Aliboo has agreed to pay the county $600 to rent the stalls. Forest Preserve President Jeff Wehrli said owners at Aliboo have told him the horses will only be there until the beginning of March, but they are willing to pay for a full, 30-day rental period. The horses were expected to start being boarded last weekend.

Aliboo Horse Farm is located about a quarter of a mile north of Ellis on McKanna Road in Seward Township, which is in the southeastern portion of Kendall County near the Village of Minooka.

Wehrli said that he was contacted

by Janet Flury of Aliboo Farms recently.

“They have kind of an emergency down there. They have three of their mares that are giving birth fairly quickly that are not in their stables and they need to bring them back into the stables. They don’t have room for them right now,” Wehrli said. “It is an emergency for our neighbors down there, and I’m comfortable with sending it through.”

Aliboo Farms would completely take care of all the horses themselves.

“It wouldn’t involve any staff time,” he said. “They would be out every day handling and caring for the animals and we’d generate $600 revenue for the 30-day period for that activity.”

Dave Guritz, Kendall Count Forest Preserve District director, said they wrote up a license agreement for a similar situation they sent to the state’s attorney office for review.

This isn’t the first time the district has stepped in to help Aliboo. In 2013 Ellis boarded some of the horses from Aliboo when the were displaced by flooding that took place on the Aux Sable Creek near their property.

the Troy school district when she had a takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as a stress-induced heart attack.

Nine out of 10 who have one of these rare attacks are women. The condition is beginning to receive recognition.

The first one identified was in Japan in 1990. U.S. physicians recognized their first case in 1998, according to a journal of the American Heart Association.

Ebert had been stressed leading up to the attack. While looking forward to a retirement of traveling, relaxing, reading and visiting her daughter in Minnesota, she was hit by several blows virtually simultaneously.

First, she was diagnosed with GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Ebert also discovered she had small intestine bacterial overgrowth, then she came down with a bad case of the flu.

Finally, Ebert’s nephew, only 24 years old, was shot and killed. Several days after they laid him to rest, Ebert felt something deep down in her chest.

“I thought, maybe my GERD’s getting worse,” Ebert said.

Feeling embarrassed at fussing over nothing, Ebert decided not to bother her husband – who was mowing the lawn – and drove herself to the emergency room.

Women are more likely to die of cardiac disease than men, tend to be undertreated when they do have a heart attack and are less likely to participate in cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack, according to a new study reported by the American Heart Association.

Dr. Mary Gordon, cardiologist at Presence Medical Group in Joliet, said one reason women are more likely to die of heart disease than men is that many times, they don’t seek medical attention as quickly.

“Women tend to present later,” Gordon said. “Many times, men, at the first sign that something is wrong, will present to their doctor. ... Women have a tendency to ignore their pain for a long time. It always breaks my heart when I hear, ‘I didn’t want to bother anyone.’ They wait and wait and wait.”

The longer a heart attack continues, Gordon said, the more damage the heart suffers.

“You need to get blood flow back to the heart muscle quickly,” Gordon said.

Gordon said medical professionals in the Joliet area are – in general – good at recognizing the varying heart attack symptoms of women, but there are still physicians who misdiagnose.

Common in women, as in men, is chest pain or discomfort. But other symptoms can be different.

“The most common symptom is excessive fatigue,” Gordon said. “A lot of women just chalk up the fatigue to working too hard. ... For weeks or even months prior to a heart attack, they say they just feel so exhausted.”

In many cases, Gordon said, heart attack chest pain in women may be more understated than in men.

“They may complain about heartburn kind of symptoms,” Gordon said. “They may have nausea a little more frequently with heart attacks [than men do], as well as sweating, neck pain or jaw pain, and pain that radiates in their back or jaw.”

Other symptoms can include pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of the chest that may go away and come back; pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the neck or stomach; shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort; and lightheadedness.

sending [images] to other doctors all over the country.”

Ebert spent four days in the intensive care unit and a week in another area of the hospital before being released.

Today, six months after her heart attack, Ebert is doing well. She’s even taken a pilgrimage to Israel and Jordan.

Seeking medical care immediately for heart problems is essential, Morris Hospital cardiovascular clinical educator Pat Cravens said.

“A lot of women tend to put it off as they age, not thinking it could be heart-related,” Cravens said. “And women are more often caregivers who don’t focus on themselves.”

Cravens said women should know the symptoms of heart disease and immediately seek care if they experience those symptoms. They should also know their risk factors, Cravens added, and ways to lower them.

Nevertheless, some women focus more on preventing cancer than preventing heart disease, Cravens said.

“Only one in five women believe heart disease is their greatest health threat,” Cravens said, “but heart disease is more deadly for women than all forms of cancer together.”

Wilmington ‘Powerball’ situation temporarily defused Get involved

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Recent hysteria over the national Powerball lottery game may have died down.

But the sense of excitement hasn’t left the Malcolm J. Mayo Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5422 in Wilmington, which holds a “Find the Queen of Hearts” fundraiser raffle on Wednesdays.

While the raffle brings excitement and business to Wilmington when the pot hits six digits, it also has city officials worried about safety and parking issues.

“It’s gotten real high, above $100,000,” VFW Manager Gina Wills said. “People are excited about this and we have huge crowds outside the VFW.” A record jackpot of more than $380,000 was hit Dec. 9. The current game jackpot stands at almost $80,000.

But the safety concerns led to a highly unpopular proposal in the City Council to lower the cap of the pot from $1 million to $100,000. That proposal was suspended, but caused the VFW to institute new crowd-controlling rules.

To participate in the “Find the Queen of Hearts” game, head to the VFW at 557 W. Baltimore St., Wilmington, and buy tickets at six for $5 or 36 for $25. Write your name, phone number and desired card number on the ticket. Drawings are held 6:30 p.m.

Wednesdays at the VFW. “Queen of Hearts” winners don’t need to be present, but other winners are required to be. The VFW will stop allowing contestants in once the building reaches fire code capacity.

Vikaas Shanker – vshanker@shawmedia.com

the VFW leaders said they would work

slighted at the lack of input they got from city officials on the proposal to cap the jackpot, and all lottery-style earnings, at $100,000.

“There’s no reason why it should be capped,” VFW Commander Terry Cerutti said, noting the game boosts Wilmington’s economy on Wednesdays. “When the Powerball was big, the gas stations were packed and they didn’t cap that.”

The City Council decided last week to suspend the cap proposal after VFW leaders and supporters pleaded and questioned motives behind the cap, and after

The agreement means the VFW will stop selling tickets outside its building.

Officials also will discourage people from gathering around the hall. But the cap hasn’t been taken off the table.

“It’s going to be evaluated [as the jackpot grows] and then we may take it off the table,” City Administrator Tony Graff said.

Meanwhile, Police Chief Phillip Arnold said the police and fire agencies have unfairly taken the brunt of the criticism.

“We’ve gotten the raw end of this deal,” Arnold said. “We are supporting the VFW, not trying to shut it down.”

Patricia and John maintained the spark in their marriage by going out with other couples and going to the theater, their favorite outing together.

Darlington said she doesn’t remember seeing her parents act extremely affectionate while she was growing up but now, as they move toward 65 years together, it is obvious.

“Now I see the lovey dovey things,” she said. “They hold hands, and I realize how in love they are.”

Patrick said he pointed out to his siblings recently how fortunate they are to witness the greatest love story.

Patricia said she can’t even fathom life without her husband.

“We have a deeper relationship now,” John said. “She was a keeper.”

When asked how they kept their love alive for 65 years, John responded with a smile, “You got me. It just came naturally.”

He continued to work for ComEd, as well as two other jobs, while Patricia stayed home and raised their growing family. That time away from one another helped keep their love alive, she said.

“He has worked three jobs at a time so I could be a stay-at-home mom,” Patricia said. “When he got home from his last job, I would get up and go to the kitchen and sit with him and have a sandwich together.”

While John was out earning a living, Patricia was the head of the household and ran a tight ship.

Family dinners were a mainstay in the Durkin home, with the family gathering around the dinner table to eat together, Darlington said.

“Mom and dad were all about family. Dad worked three jobs and always took us on vacation together, even when I’m sure they couldn’t afford to,” she said.

Lentils – and other legumes – hold promise for 2016

By LISA ABRAHAM More Content Now

So long, 2015 – the year that brought us Nordic cuisine.

Did you miss it? Me, too.

Not too much of that herring made it to central Ohio – which might or might not be a good thing, depending on your perspective.

Here we sit on the precipice of a new food year, and I am duty-bound to inform you about what to expect in 2016. I am proclaiming 2016 the year of the lentil – and I’m in good company.

The United Nations has proclaimed 2016 the International Year of Pulses (leguminous crops harvested for use as dry grains).

Look for lentils to replace kale as the new “it” food – not just lentils but chickpeas and

dried beans of all varieties.

Hummus and falafel for everyone! Adding protein-packed legumes to our weekly meal plans is a great way to eliminate cholesterol-laden meat from our diets and to lessen the carbon footprint from meat production.

Plus, beans are mighty tasty.

Getting everyone to cook beans, however, might prove more challenging this year.

Indicators suggest that interest in cooking at home – which peaked during the 2008 recession – is waning. The shift is due in part to constraints on time.

In 2016, look for more “assembly dinners” and for meal-delivery services to grow more popular.

Seneca’s Klicker signs to play softball for JJC STAFF REPORTS SENECA – One of the members of this spring’s Seneca softball team has already decided that she will continue her career after high school.

Catcher Abby Klicker recently signed a letter of intent to attend and play softball for Joliet Junior College and coach Heather O’Shea.

Klicker, who has started for three years on the varsity and hit .307 with four doubles, two triples and 14 stolen bases for the Irish last season, is also a force

behind the plate, as she threw out 15 of 23 would-be base stealers last season.

“Abby has been a three-year varsity starting catcher for us,” Seneca coach Don Stecken said. “She is a left-handed power hitter and slapper and is an offensive threat with her speed.

“She has improved greatly since last season and I am excited to see the hard work pay dividends for her this season and in her collegiate future. JJC is getting a great team player who is a hard-working and loyal athlete, but most importantly a great person.”

COAL CITY – The winner’s podium at Saturday’s Class 1A Coal City wrestling regional had a decidedly hometown feel to it all day.

That’s because, out of 14 weight classes, Coal City had nine regional champions, a runner-up and two third-place finishes and ran away with the regional title.

All 12 of those advance to next week’s Plano individual sectional, while the Coalers move on as a team to the Wilmington Sectional.

Coal City got individual titles from Alex Friddle (106), Joey Rivera (113), Jake Hiles (120), Ryan Wasilewski (126), Max Rowell (145), Danny Norton (152), Alec Leasure (182), Riley Kauzlaric (195) and Brock Crawford (220). T.J. Jezik finished second at 138 for the Coalers, while Jonah Englert (160) and Bryan Stopka (170) each finished third.

“We had a great tournament,” Coal City coach Mark Masters said. “Our guys were really focused, and when we had the opportunity to put people on their backs, we scored a lot of falls. I am extremely proud of our wrestlers.”

Meanwhile, at the Class 2A Washington Sectional, Morris’ Cody Baldridge will take his 31-5 record into the 182-pound weight class. Baldridge beat Lincoln-Way West’s Trevor Schmitt, 7-5, in overtime to win the regional title, and that win earned him a good spot in the sectional, coach Jon Lanning said.

“Cody is in about the best possible spot he could be in,” Lanning said. “He looked real good at the regional. If things go the way we hope they will shake out, he has seen and beaten everyone on his side of the bracket up to the semifinals, and the top four advance to state.

“Being at 182 is a good weight for Cody. He doesn’t have to worry too much about making weight, so that worry is out of the equation. Plus, he is very quick on his feet for someone at that weight, so he has that advantage over a lot of guys.

And, he is very decisive. Once he decides to make a move, he makes it and he’s been hard to stop all year. We really feel good about his chances to make it Champaign.”

Minooka finished third at the Class 3A Bradley-Bourbonnais Regional and got titles from Zach McDowell (126), Kenny Kirkland (160), Carson Oughton (170).

Also advancing to the Bolingbrook Sectional for the Indians are Austin Markee (2nd, 106), and Cody Hoschel (2nd, 113), Dominic Ruettiger (3rd, 120) and David Newman (3rd, 285).

Seneca won’t be at the same Class 1A sectional as Coal City, but they will have seven wrestlers at the Princeton Sectional, which also features defending

Tyler Draine won the title at 126 for the Irish, while Jackson Beene (113), Kyle Sigmon (138), Levi Clark (170) and Hunter McAlpine (220) all took second.

Anthony Hasse (160) and Anthony Sams (182) finished third.

GIRLS BOWLING

Morris finished second in the regional and advanced to next weekend’s sectional at Dixon. Corrinne Day was Morris’ top bowler with a six-game score of 1,048, followed by Cadenz FItzgerald (1,045), Amy Waldron (1044), Essence Budach (913) and Allison Kukman (880).

Redskins coach Harry Banks was very pleased with the results from the regional, and hopes his young team can use that as a stepping stone in the Dixon Sectional.

Morris was in fifth place at the Decatur Eisenhower Regional after five games, but shot their best game of the season in game six and leaped past three teams to grab second place.

“That finish gave these girls a lot of confidence,” Banks said. “And, bowling

is a lot about confidence. They know they can put up games like that. Now, we just need to put a few of them together in one day.”

Banks noted that the competition will be strong at Plum Hollow Lanes.

“Sycamore won our conference and we have seen them a lot,” he said. “Dixon also has a good team and so does Oregon. We are thinking that a score of around 5,600 will be what it takes to get out. We haven’t done that this year yet, so we have been working hard at shooting spares this week because we are going to need every pin we can get.

“One thing about this team is that they love to practice. There are seven girls on the varsity and I don’t think one of them has missed a practice. It’s going to be tough to get out, but I would have said that about the regional. and here we are. Now, we have nothing to lose and we’ll go see what happens. It will do nothing but help us as far as experience goes.”

Meanwhile, Minooka came back in the sixth game and won the title at the Rich East Regional with a score of 5,705. Lincoln-Way West finished second (5,684), Joliet West took third (5,655)

and Lincoln-Way North (5,141) was the final qualifier. All will take part in the Joliet West Sectional at Town & Country Lanes.

“Our mindset is always geared to the end of the season,” Minooka coach Frank Yudzentis said. “The mental approach is the key to improvement during the season. The girls accept that approach and they stay positive no matter what happens. We were consistent and the girls responded really well. Winning a regional title is nice, but we still have work to do. Nora Russell is the only senior on the team and she is the glue that keeps us all together.”

Russell finished ninth with a score of 1,135.

“This has really been a fun season,” Russell said. “It’s all about staying positive and we do that as a team. Today, was all about getting to next week. Sure it’s fun to win, but advancing was the goal.

I’m proud of this team and the key for us is that one word – positive.”

Gina Russell led the Indians with a fourth-place finish (1,188), followed by Carmella Russell in fifth (1,167), Kristina Sickler in eighth (1,135) and Cheryl Eyman in 15th (1,072).

“Our guys have been busting it hard in practice, so I’m glad I came through for them. We haven’t really closed out games so well. This one, we talked about it before, and we looked at each other in the eyes and said, ‘I got this for you, you’ve got it for me.

Morris junior power forward ing, we weren’t defending, either, and that’s the worst combination. I thought we didn’t let our poor offensive possessions impact our defensive intensity. So that’s the improvement we’re happiest with tonight.”

After having its last five losses compacted into a 15-day stretch, Morris must wait until Feb. 16 to play its next game.

“Big win – kill the momentum,” Blumberg said, “but we’ve got a great opportunity now to make some more improvements in some practice time and get ready for Ottawa.”

• Thursday, February 11, 2016

MORRIS – Prior to Saturday night, Morris had played five games that were decided by single digits since beginning its conference schedule in early December – and lost all of them.

The close-game frustration had come to a head during the final two games of a recent six-game losing streak. Kaneland and Streator clipped the locals by seven and three points, respectively, dropping them five games below .500.

Coach Joe Blumberg was worrying about the confidence level of his inexperienced group.

A team that badly needed a pickme-up got one Saturday in the form of a 40-39 overtime defeat of Yorkville. It was not just a win, nor was just a win in a close game. It also carried the bonus of being a Northern Illinois Big 12 East game against a team based just a few miles up Route 47.

“Confidence that we can compete with the teams remaining on our schedule,” Blumberg said, when asked what the win could mean for his team. “Confidence walking through the hallways.

It’s no fun to be on a losing team in the dog days of winter, and Yorkville’s a rival. I hope they come to practice Monday with a little extra bounce in their step, and feeling better about the team and our program.”

Poise that had been lacking in earlier games was present for the locals in key situations against Yorkville. The Foxes did not score for more than six minutes at the end of the game – even if that was largely due to them purposely holding the ball for over half of that time between the conclusion of regulation and overtime. And with a half-second on the scoreboard and the opportunity to hit one of two free throws to almost certainly win the game in overtime, junior Nathaniel Halcomb delivered.

“Our guys have been busting it hard in practice, so I’m glad I came through for them,” Halcomb said. “We haven’t really closed out games so well. This one, we talked about it before, and we looked at each other in the eyes and said, ‘I got this for you, you’ve got it for me. I’m not letting you down.’”

Promising and uplifting as it was, Blumberg knew the win was far from proof that his team’s problems are over.

The reality that the locals scored only 23 points from the second quarter on in a game that went to overtime was particularly troubling. Saturday was the 11th time Morris has been held at or below 40 points in a game this season.

“We’re far from a complete basketball team,” Blumberg said, “but for much of the year, when we weren’t scor-

Dodge 2016 lineup ‘stars’ at Chicago Auto Show The real stars of the Chicago Auto Show are not the concepts or 2017 debuts. They add flash and draw a lot of attention for the future.

The mainstays are the 2016 models – the vehicles you can actually own, right now – and Dodge brings “wow” to show-goers with its full 2016 lineup.

At the show, you can sit in them, examine them thoroughly, ask about them, collect materials on them. Best of all, you can make your plans to do all that – again – and take yours home from your local dealership.

The Dodge lineup includes the Challenger, Charger, Durango SUV, Grand Caravan minivan, Dart, Journey and Viper. In this overview, we look at Charger and Challenger, the iconic Grand Caravan, and the popular four-door Dart.

The 2016 four-door Charger sedan offers the trim options of SE, SE AWD, SXT, SXT AWD, R/T, R/T Road & Track, R/T Scat Pack, SRT 392 and the SRT Hellcat, with engines similar to Challenger, depending on model.

The author mentioned the first weeks of wearing the collar should not involve activating it.

He said every time you play with the pup put the collar on, but don’t use it.

In short order, the dog will relate the collar with fun things and beg to wear it.

This too worked for me. If I grab the blaze orange device my 7 year-old companion goes crazy with anticipation.

She loves it because it means we will spend time together.

Once the actual training starts, the article mentioned using the collar for one type of correction. I wanted my dog to return on command with no hesitation.

Taking her out to hunt meant the possibility of roads, flooded creeks, and many other obstacles.

When I first left her off the long lead she ran ahead like dogs do. I commanded her to “come.”

She kept running. I activated the electronic collar on the lowest setting and she pulled an about-face and ran, tail wagging, right to my side.

As far as she knew, it was still the long lead pulling at her neck and reminding her she needs to listen.

I couldn’t have been happier.

There are plenty of experts in our area on dog training.

If you are in the market for a hunting dog be sure to ask their advice about the use of electronic collars.

I’m sure they would be happy to talk.

I remember the first time I went afield to chase upland game.

It wasn’t the sheer beauty of the vast open terrain I look back upon with fondness.

It wasn’t the golden sun setting on a glorious day. It wasn’t even the fact we tracked down and brought home several nice birds.

These things were wonderful, but the single moment that remains lodged in my memory is the dog.

If you have been fortunate to spend a day with a trained dog, then you can relate to what I am saying. Hunting canines range from waterfowl wizards to those masters of flushing quail, but they all share a remarkable trait – their ability to follow commands.

During that pheasant hunt, I noticed the electronic device attached to its collar. The horrific term “shock collar” flooded my mind. I remained afraid to train a dog with one.

Years later, I bought my bird dog.

A gorgeous pup of German shorthair and terrier decent warmed our hearts.

The bird dog rescue was amazing to work with and I couldn’t have been happier, but now I needed to train.

The electronic collar discussion popped up in our house again.

My preconceived notions of what I thought of electronic collars turned out to be inaccurate.

An article I read about such collars changed my thinking.

I am now a firm believer of their use.

The article mentioned that the collar needs to be thought of as a “gentle reminder,” not a device for punishment. It clarified that we train pups with leads and long leads.

When we command our dog to “come” we use the long lead to direct the dog back to us.

The tug on their neck is the reminder they are straying away from the directed task and need to follow the command.

Electronic collars are long leads without the actual rope or cord. This is the mental approach a trainer

50 BOYS BASKETBALL LITTLE TEN CONFERENCE: NEWARK 63, INDIAN CREEK 50

Newark captures second straight Little Ten title

By CHRISTINE BOLIN–DASCHER cbolin@kendallcountynow.com

SOMONAUK – The Newark boys’ basketball team took home its seconstraight golden ball trophy on Friday night after the No. 1-seeded Norsemen topped No. 2 Indian Creek, 63-50, in the Little Ten Conference tournament title game. With the win, the Norsemen improved to 21-2 overall and won their 10th consecutive game. This was the 19th overall tournament title for Newark in the 97 years the tournament has existed.

“It feels good to reclaim what was ours again,” Newark senior Jack Clausel said. “The gold ball is back, and it’s nice. That was the goal, and we did it.

We knew we could.”

Not only did the Norsemen receive another trophy for their collection after the tournament, but several players moved up on the all-time scoring list at Newark. Senior Jack Clausel (14 points) is now No. 7 with 1,429 points. He is just 20 points away from the No. 6 spot, which is owned by current assistant

Creek (15-7 overall), however, as the Timberwolves led 16-11 after the first quarter and 30-28 at the break. They did not trail at any point in the first half and led by as much as 25-15 with 5:52 left in the second quarter.

“We didn’t think (Indian Creek) would stay that hot,” Newark head coach Rick Tollefson said. “They came out fired up, and teams are always going to want to be that way against us.”

Newark took its first lead of the game, 31-30, in the opening minute of the third after a bucket by Will Clausel.

The Timberwolves’ final lead was 34-33 before the Norsemen went on a 13-2 run and took their first double-digit lead of the contest, 46-36, after a conventional three-point play from Jack Clausel with Eric Miller – emiller@shawmedia.com 1:05 left in the third.

ketball team had been struggling offensively in the last couple of weeks, so on one hand, coach Brad Schmitt was happy to see his team score 54 points Monday night against nonconference rival Pontiac.

On the other hand, it was the 66 points that Pontiac scored that was the bigger issue as the Lady Coalers fell to 12-15 overall with the 66-54 loss. Coal City trailed, 13-10, at the end of the first quarter and 29-22 at halftime. The Pontiac lead was 50-43 at the end of the third quarter before a fourth-quarter rally by Coal City was a touch too little, too late.

“We cut the lead to one with about three minutes to play,” Schmitt said.

“But Pontiac hit some big shots and some key free throws down the stretch.

We played much better offensively, but still have to be better at key times.”

Makenna Emerson led a trio of Coalers in double digits with 14 points, while Bridget Kauzlaric had 13 points and Mackenzie Bugg added 10. Kauzlaric also had a team-leading seven rebounds.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our guys and this basketball program,” G-SW coach Chris Gibson said. “We have been so close in the last two years and it feels so good to be sitting on the top of the conference. We are still undefeated at home and are hungry for a 12-0 finish in conference. Alex Bunna had a monster game for us.”

Candace Ourisman captures herself perfectly in her Twitter bio: “I love colors and all things that are not typical …

I hate typical.”

Although she and her husband, Chris Ourisman, live in what on the outside might appear to be your average 1940s brick Colonial in Bethesda, Md., when you step inside, it’s a stunner.

Candace Ourisman hired Bethesda designer Erica Burns to help pull off a personality-packed look that blends edgy design and family antiques. Think a royal-purple velvet sofa, a drippy crystal chandelier, bold Isaac Mizrahi chintz curtains, a flea-market bar tray, a Laura Kirar lamp shaped like a huge tassel and shelves of books organized by color, some bought on Etsy for their looks.

Forget the trend of tearing down walls and opening up spaces in vintage houses. Ourisman loves the traditional architecture and layout of her Colonial.

Using scale and color in different doses and applications, Burns helped style a home that has as many looks as Ourisman’s closet. “There is something magical about walking into a space and being surprised,” Ourisman said. “I wanted each little room to be like a jewel box and have its own personality versus having an open plan all over the house.”

Pulling off a look that combines Kelly Wearstler wallpaper and family antiques takes a lot of editing. “Candace definitely has a very sharp eye for all things stylish and knew what she loved and envisioned for her home,” Burns said. “The only

hard part about that was it was a mix of various styles that typically don’t go together and are very strong.

There was a lot of thought put into how we could make it cohesive without being on sensory overload.”

Ourisman and her husband, president of Ourisman Chevrolet, a Washington-area car dealership, are both 32 and bought the four-bedroom house in 2011, a year after they were married. The 1948 house had been remodeled in 2009, when a two-story addition created a kitchen and family room in the back and a master bedroom suite on top.

In 2013, after saving magazine articles and filling Pinterest boards, Candace Photo provided Ourisman contacted Burns. (She called her again the next year to help with the The living room of the Ourisman house mixes a lot of periods and artworks. The curtain nursery for their son, Van, who was born fabric is by Isaac Mizrahi. The sofa is from Ballard Designs. in September.) “She has an amazing style, but wasn’t quite sure how to make “To Find Your House Just Click Your Mouse” it come together,” Burns said. “It can be overwhelming. She likes things that are classic but not common. She loves unusual things and wanted her house to be 335 S. Broadway • 815-634-2178 different.”

Ourisman always has been interested SINCE 1971 in fashion and design, and since 2011 she has been writing a blog called Secretly ALL BRICK RANCH!!!

ALL BRICK!!!

Fancy. She also does personal fashion styling and works with a nonprofit foundation focused on social change for women and girls.

“I feel like my style is always trying to balance between being irreverent and sophisticated,” she said. “I can’t fit into a 720 N. 6th St. Rd 170 N. Lincoln St. Carbon Hill $99,000 Coal City $110,000 box, in fashion or decor. I like to combine Lovely Ranch Home On A Huge Corner Lot! Updated Nice All Brick Three Bedroom Ranch Style Home!

John Dickerson hosts the Republican Debate Saturday on CBS. 7 p.m. on _ WLS The Bachelor at 20: A Celebration of Love What better day could there be than Valentine’s Day for a “Bachelor” wedding — with none other than Chris Harrison officiating?

That’s the centerpiece of this new special, as “Bachelor in Paradise” alums Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert tie the knot. Other familiar faces of the franchise are in attendance, including Trista and Ryan Sutter, Kaitlyn Bristowe, Jason Mesnick, Andi Dorfman and Ali Fedotowsky ... helping to commemorate the parent show’s 20 seasons.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons “Be careful what you wish for,” an adage says — and Professor Frink (voice of Hank Azaria) learns it firsthand in the new episode “Love Is in the N2-O2-Ar-CO2-Ne-He-CH4.” (Yes, that’s really the title.) The scientist uses what he knows to make himself more appealing to the opposite sex, and ends up being way too successful at it.

7:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life Cooper (Jack Cutmore-Scott) certainly isn’t the first person to do it, and he surely won’t be the last, but he finds out just how much trouble losing his phone can cause in a new episode titled — what else? — “How to Survive Losing Your Phone.” His pals help him on his desperate quest to recover it.

Conflicts arise quickly over a case that involves her, Lucca (Cush Jumbo) and a revolutionary computer tablet.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ The Tonight Show Valentine’s Day Special Jimmy Fallon has been having an extremely good run in the late-night hours, but NBC takes the occasion of Feb. 14 to bring him into primetime for a showcase of talk and comedy with particular relevance to romance. Within that framework, expect to see some of the regular segments that have been making Fallon’s tenure as the steward of the network’s flagship after-hours program so successful.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Classic A trip to the racetrack has unexpected results for the Crawleys — and very particularly for Mary (Michelle Dockery) — as “Season 6, Episode 7” of “Downton Abbey” brings the series closer to its end. Violet (Maggie Smith) sets her differences with Isobel (Penelope Wilton) over the hospital aside to lend needed help.

Mr. Dawes (Patrick Brennan) also offers assistance, in his case to Andy (Michael Fox).

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy A newly discovered fondness for phone apps puts Peter (voice of Seth MacFarlane) into a frenzy to add more and more of them in the new episode “An App a Day.” He ultimately decides to buy a phone that has more memory, then gives his old one to Chris (voice of Seth Green) — with unforeseen consequences. New tennis-club member Stewie (also voiced by MacFarlane) asks Brian (yes, MacFarlane’s voice again) to partner with him on the court.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Bordertown Suddenly the high school’s new football coach after the locals force his predecessor out, Bud (voice of Hank Azaria) tries to find a winning formula in the new episode “High School Football.” He think he’s hit upon one when he spots an athletically adept youth racing across the border — but the youngster’s drug-world connections pose a problem.

9 p.m. on _ WLS Castle Castle (Nathan Fillion) doesn’t only take the witness stand, he’s the person who ultimately — and actively — could ensure justice is done in the related case in a new episode whose title gives Agatha Christie a nod, “Witness for the Prosecution.” After he testifies in a murder trial, he and Beckett (Stana Katic) follow new information to make sure the wrong person isn’t convicted. Kristoffer Polaha (“Life Unexpected”) guest stars. Tamala Jones also stars.

9 p.m. on + WTTW Mercy Street An inspector’s visit causes immediate concern for the hospital’s staff in the new episode “The Dead Room.” Mary’s (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) evident compassion for a deserter could cause problems for her.
