Reader input always is welcome It’s funny how time works.

In some ways, it feels like we’ve just gotten started with our weekly print edition (with a robust daily online presence) of the Morris Herald-News. We are still adjusting to changes in our schedules and changing some old habits.

On the other hand, this marks our fourth weekly edition, meaning that we’ve been doing this for a month already. When we look at it that way, we here in the office wonder where that time went.

The biggest adjustment, for me anyway, is maintaining a balance in the print edition of telling our readers what happened during the week and what is going to happen in the next week. If any of you have questions about how we are balancing that information, let me give you the short answer.

For news as it is happening or has already happened, check www.morrisherald-news.com. When we have breaking stories, city council or school board meetings, coverage of sports games, etc., that’s

VIEWS Rob Oesterle where we will post it as soon as we can.

Then, in the Thursday print edition, we will wrap up all of the most important stories of the week, including updates on some of them, if necessary. The print edition also will feature previews of upcoming events and happenings around town that we feel are of interest to our readers.

And, those events that are the big ones will have both previews the week before and coverage the week after.

What it boils down to is that we care deeply about Morris and the surrounding area, and we want to let you, our readers, know both what has happened and what is going to happen in your communities.

We know we aren’t going to be perfect, and we can’t always be everywhere we

want to be. If you want us to know about something that is coming up, send us an email to news@morrisherald-news.com to let us know the specifics. We will do our best to put that news both online and in the print editions. If time and schedules allow, we will be in attendance as well to provide a firsthand account.

If we can’t make it, let us know what happened. The more information, the better. If you take a picture, send it in. If we can use it, we will. If we have questions, we will call.

One thing we cannot do is provide information on something we know nothing about. So don’t be shy. Let us know what’s going on with your business, school, team, organization or whatever else, and we will do our best to include you in your go-to source for local news – past, present and future.

THE ROAD MORE TRAVELED Safety is a way of life for A&R Logistics’ David McCormick

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – David McCormick remembers his first day – March 25, 1983 – on the road driving for A&R Logistics.

Nearly 33 years and about 3.25 million accident-free miles later, A&R’s most experienced of about 700 drivers nationwide was recently named one of eight finalists for the National Tank Truck Carriers’ Driver of the Year Award. Ron Baird of Hoffman Transportation/G&D Trucking in Channahon, also was nominated.

In January, McCormick flew to Virginia to be interviewed by a panel of industry experts who will decide the Driver of the Year award recipient. The winner will be announced April 25 in San Diego at NTTC’s 68th annual Conference & Exhibits event.

“They had us do three-minute speeches on why we should be named Driver of the Year,” McCormick said in his calm, Alabama accent. “So I was talking real fast for three minutes.”

When speaking to the panel, he touted his safe driving record, his attention to detail and his routine from when wakes up until when he goes to bed.

He also told the panel the award is an opportunity to represent the tank truck industry, Ron Baird and how he wants to be a spokesman for the organization.

The winner is expected to represent the NTTC in 10 to 15 industry events the following year, in addition to possible event invites from individual trucking companies.

After completing a trip last week to one of Whirlpool’s facilities in Iowa – where he hauls bulk plastics at least once a week – McCormick dodged a handful of playful jabs from co-work-

Annual Faculty vs. Fuzz game set for Saturday If you go

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Fuzz, a basketball team made up of area law enforcement officers, is expected to come back full force this weekend in the eighth annual Faculty vs. The Fuzz charity game at Morris Community High School.

Morris Community High School superintendent Patrick “Shooter” Halloran said he expects The Fuzz to come back strong after their 53-32 defeat last year.

“I’m looking for the police department to come back strong this year,” Halloran said. “I think they will rough us up and take control of the middle of the court.”

To be fair to last year’s team, The Fuzz had several key players, including Morris police Chief Brent Dite, who were unable to attend, forcing the smaller-than-normal team to leave players on the court for longer periods.

“We’re going to win, that’s a given,” Fuzz coach Derek Zumbahlen said.

“We have a couple of guys rejoining us that couldn’t play last year. We won’t be playing with just six people.”

This year’s game will be at 7 p.m.

Olympics. Event proceeds will be split between the department’s Law Enforcement Torch Run for Illinois Special Olympics and Special Connections of Grundy County.

Last year, the game raised about $2,000 to benefit the two organizations.

Special Connections is an organization that provides information and resources, as well as social, recreational and leisure opportunities, for the

developmentally disabled community, from children to adults.

Halloran said although the charity game is fun to play and watch, it’s the Special Olympians who play during the event that is the highlight of the evening.

“It’s for a great cause, and it is really a nice fit for us as faculty to participate in,” Halloran said. “The highlight of the evening is watching the Special

Zumbahlen said the Special Olympians play with their heart, and the smiles on their faces make them worth watching.

Halloran, who did a solo performance of the national anthem last year, said he will be joined this year by surprise guests before the game.

Scott Sypolt and Get Fit 24/7 Fitness Center in Morris donated an autographed Jonathan Toews Blackhawks jersey that will be raffled off at the game.

Advance raffle tickets can be bought at the Morris Police Department, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Raffle tickets are $5 for one, $10 for three and $20 for 10.

Buffalo Wild Wings to open April 4 Morris grants Class D liquor license to Blazin Wings, doing business as Buffalo Wild Wings

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Buffalo Wild Wings is one step closer to opening its doors on April 4 in Morris.

Morris City Council, on a recommendation from the Judiciary and License Committee, approved, 6-0, last week to increase the number of Class D liquor licenses in the city from 13 to 14. The council then voted, 6-0, after a committee recommendation to grant a Class D liquor license to Blazin Wings Inc., doing business as Buffalo Wild Wings. Randy Larson and Julian Houston were absent from that meeting.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said the group has hired a Morris resident as manager, which is a requirement for a liquor license in the city of Morris.

“We are very excited about the new location coming to Morris,” regional marketing manager Constance Williamson said in an email. “We are staying on schedule and are on track to open April 4, 2016.”

The restaurant is located in the former Aldi building at 2685 Sycamore Drive, on the same lot as Big R. The original building measured 12,500 square feet, but the conversion of the building has downsized it to

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Blazin Wings Inc., doing business as Buffalo Wild Wings, is completing construction in order to open in Morris on April 4. about 5,200 square feet.

Williamson said the location will have the company’s new stadia design, which puts the focus point on the game.

The design is intended to make it feel more like being at a sports stadium, according to Plymold, which represents Buffalo Wild Wings.

“We looked at every aspect of the guest experience and refined the look and feel of our restaurant to create an atmosphere that captures the energy and excitement of a stadium,” she said in an email. “We want sports to come alive, so it was important that the new design focus on the cornerstones of our

brand: wings, beer and sports.”

She further explained that the design allowed the restaurant to intentionally separate the bar area from the dining area so families could have a distinct part of the restaurant while still having the same viewing options as the bar.

Morris Community High School seeks parent input Parents asked to complete 5Essentials survey

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Parents with students at Morris Community High School are encouraged to take before March 11 the fourth annual statewide 5Essentials survey.

Principal Kelly Hussey said while the survey is not mandatory, at least 20 percent of the parents need to take the survey in order for the school to get results.

“We are at 85 percent of students and 82 percent of teachers. We are looking for more than [the] 4 percent of parents who have already taken the survey online,” Hussey said. “We need

at least 20 percent to get the results, but we’d love to have more than that.”

Hussey said school leaders look at the results of the survey and take them seriously.

“We want to use the climate survey to address the needs of our population,” he said.

The survey asks questions that help leaders better understand school climate and learning conditions.

Participants are asked to answer questions such as: • “How often does staff invite you to school events?”

• “To what extent do you feel that this school is preparing your child for college?”

• “Overall, how satisfied are you with the education your child is receiving at this school?”

It also asks participants to answer to what degree they agree or disagree with statements such as: • “Offer opportunities to participate in making decisions that affect the school community.”

• “Your voice is valued at the school.”

The survey can be taken online and the parent answering the questions remains anonymous.

A direct link to the survey can be found on the Morris Community High School website at www.morrishs.org.

Once on the website, parents should click on the article link titled “Illinois 5Essentials Survey 2016” where they will be directed to the link to the sur-

Coal City structure fire leaves residents, businesses displaced

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – The structure fire Feb. 16 that left an entire building uninhabitable at 35 S. Broadway St. in Coal City displaced six residents and two businesses.

Because of fire conditions and building construction, 24 area departments were requested to the scene to assist in fire extinguishment. An additional 10 water transports were requested to assist the scene because of lowering water levels in the Coal City water towers.

On Monday, Coal City Fire Protection District Chief James Sheldon said he sees “no way anyone could live in the building again,” and it was labeled unfit for occupancy shortly after the fire.

As the village building inspector and landowner work to finalize the future of the property, the people who once lived and conducted business there had to adjust quickly. There were four apartments occupied: One was rented by a single mother of two, one by a single mother of one, and two single men rented one apartment each.

Help for Hope of Coal City Director Cathy Milne, who has been assisting those displaced, said she’s collecting gift cards of various kinds to pass along to the building’s former residents. All residents lost most, if not all, of their belongings. Julia DiGiacomo, her son

Mayson, 8, and daughter Lavinia, 7, are staying with family in Channahon. A GoFundMe account, www.gofundme. com/89pafpv6, was set up Feb. 17 by a friend of DiGiacomo’s to help cover costs associated with the fire.

One mother found another rental unit, Milne said, but needs a kitchen table and clothes for her 3-year-old daughter in size 4T. She doesn’t have a GoFundMe account set up, Milne said. The children remain in Coal City schools, so transportation costs alone can add up.

“I am wanting to collect gas cards or any other gift cards for both families,” Milne said.

Anyone interested in donating can call Milne at 815-370-7817. She said one of the single men declined assistance and the other has not responded to a phone call.

On the business side, Nancy Bradley, owner of Styles on Broadway, is close to renting a unit in Wilmington.

She hopes to open in about four weeks.

In the meantime, all calls to her business line, 815-634-9804, are being forwarded to her cellphone.

“We started from scratch 3-and-ahalf years ago at that building,” Bradley said. “I hope my clients stick with me.”

Phone calls to the property owner of 35 S. Broadway and Village of Coal City building and zoning official Bob Malone about the status of the building were not returned. Genuine Pool Care also did not return a phone call.

MORRIS – The Morris City Council last week approved the replacement and upgrade of an interview system within the Morris Police Department in the amount of $12,700.

Mayor Richard Kopczick went over proposals given to the city by MidCo, the company that installed the video cameras present in all of the interview rooms.

The video system records each interview room 24 hours a day every day, whether or not the room is in use.

“This is the most cost-effective solution, which should suit our needs for a long time to come,” Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said.

Dite said other options including running cameras from each interview room to a dual DVR backup, but the additional cost couldn’t be justified.

The upgrade is needed because of software changes and upgrades on the server end. The current system was designed for Windows XP and cannot be upgraded further, according to Dite.

The cost of the upgrade will be covered by TIF funds.

“This is the most cost-effective solution, which should suit our needs for a long time to come.”

Brent Dite

Morris Police chief

The council also approved sound upgrades to the council chambers, in the amount of $3,380, by Commercial Electronic Systems Inc. The upgrade includes 11 earset microphones for more consistent sound when aldermen turn one direction or the other to speak, moving their mouths farther away from the current microphone system.

There also will be a digitally controlled mixer installed so sound can be adjusted based on the person using each headset.

Kopczick said they can increase the levels of the microphones for those who speak more softly and decrease it for those that tend to speak louder, so those attending meetings can hear what each alderman is saying equally.

MORRIS – Morris Police Chief Brent Dite asked the Judiciary and License committee last week for support with moving forward on the purchase of a second K-9 unit, which will be paid for in part by the Joliet Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad.

He said the MANS unit is making available to the agencies that have a person on the unit a grant up to $4,000 from the group’s asset forfeiture fund.

“We would be able to use the $4,000 for establishment of a second K-9 unit,” Dite said.

He said there are additional funds available the department’s asset forfeiture fund, and coupled with the money from the MANS unit, it would cost the department only about $2,000 out of its budget.

Dite said the department has had great success with the current K-9 unit, Talon and his handler, Officer Funk, and he would like to see if they can duplicate that success.

Earlier this month, Talon and Funk were instrumental in finding 117 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop on Interstate 80 by Illinois State Police, who used Talon’s drug-sniffing talent.

The addition of a second unit would allow the department to have a K-9 unit available on more than one shift.

“I don’t think we would have enough money without the additional $4,000,” Dite said.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said the city could budget for the additional expense in next year’s budget.

Training, purchasing and equipping the department’s current K-9 cost about $13,000, a cost that was paid for by the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Dite said it takes about nine months to get a dog; so knowing if the committee supported the idea, he could start working toward finding a dog now.

Aldermen Don Matteson and Don Hansen, who sit on the committee, both agreed they were in support of adding another K-9 unit.

MORRIS – We Care of Grundy County reopened Monday after closing early Friday due to high winds that caused a portion of a roof to blow off the building at 534 Bedford Road in Morris, landing on the We Care building.

Executive Director Eric Fisher said Monday that there was minimal damage to the building.

“We had some minimal damage, one section of sheeting that was dented and one section that had a penetration,” Fisher said. “The roofer came out Saturday and was able to remove the section of roof that had blown onto ours and made the repairs.”

We Care employee Wendy Easson was with a client in the food pantry when the roof landed on the We Care building.

“We were in the pantry and you could see the roof moving and could hear it when it happened,” Easson said.

Fisher said he made the decision to

Coal City resident discusses recovering at age 34

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hitchfield@shawmedia.com

Smith said she knew the risk factors, but it didn’t prevent her from becoming a smoker and neglecting some aspects of her health. Cravens said smoking is the main risk factor, but other factors include hypertension, abnormal cholesterol levels, diabetes and physical inactivity.

“Smoking is the main risk factor in both men and women,” Cravens said.

“Diabetes is another huge risk factor.”

She said blood pressure more than 140 systolic or 90 diastolic also can contribute to heart disease and should be monitored by a physician to get those levels down.

Both good and bad cholesterol numbers matter when discussing heart health. HDL, which is short for high-density lipoprotein, should be more than 50 at a minimum, and LDL, which is short for low-density lipoprotein, should remain less than 100 to reduce risk of heart disease.

“Cholesterol monitoring should begin at age 20 and be repeated every five years if there are no issues,” Cravens said. “Eighty percent of heart attacks

Rehabilitation after a heart attack

Now that Smith is on the mend after having two stints placed and an angioplasty, she is moving forward with what she learned at Diagnostic & Rehabilitative Center of Morris Hospital in Morris.

Smith went to cardiac rehabilitation from May to mid-July and is trying to incorporate what she learned as she moves forward in life.

The facility found an exercise program that will work for her ability and lifestyle. She said she is focusing on quitting smoking and on eating healthier with heart-healthy recipes she got while going to rehab. There is more to rehabilitation than just exercise and learning healthier habits, however.

According to Cravens, 30 percent of patients experience some sort of depression after a heart attack.

She said staff at the rehabilitation center provide ideas to patients to combat mild depression and encourage them to see a doctor when it’s more serious. Smith said she felt “almost depressed” and alone despite having

Meeting others who were experiencing the same things at the same time was one of the biggest benefits of the rehabilitation experience for Smith.

“They started me off at a slow pace, and the nurses were amazing,” Smith said. “Hearing everyone else’s stories and forming those relationships was a huge help.”

Cravens said the mental health of patients is just as important as the physical health as they learn to better manage stress and how to work through negative emotions such as anger and holding a grudge, instead of holding them in, adding to their stress levels.

“They really get support from one another,” Cravens said.

MORRIS – Stephanie Smith of Coal City has been seeing a cardiologist since she was 13 because of some heart issues, and has been proactive in monitoring her heart health.

After keeping a constant eye on it, it came as a surprise to her when she had a heart attack at age 34.

“I had been seeing a cardiologist and was told there was a higher possibility of having a stroke,” Smith said. “I was in denial the whole morning I had the heart attack.”

She waited about six hours before seeking medical attention.

Pat Cravens, cardiovascular clinical educator with Morris Hospitals and Healthcare Centers, said women often don’t think about heart health even though heart disease is the No. 1 killer in women.

“If a woman is concerned with health, they think about woman-related issues and cancer,” Cravens said. “Heart disease is the cause of death in women more than all the cancers combined.”

Risk factors

can be prevented by addressing risk factors like heart-healthy eating, exercise and not smoking.”

School to honor late teacher with scholarship

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Simply mention the name Honor Trotter to teachers, administrators or former students at Saratoga School, and the first reaction is likely a smile and a laugh as memories pop into their heads of the late kindergarten teacher.

“She had the most interesting laugh; I have never heard anyone laugh like her in my life,” fourth-grade Saratoga School student Charlie Wright said.

“She always talked about how she wanted to buy a horse and paint it yellow; and once at an assembly, she wore a nice dress and with her yellow Crocs.

She loved the color yellow.”

Trotter lost her battle with cancer May 6, 2013, three days before her 60th birthday.

She taught at Saratoga School for 33 years and became a friend and mentor to those around her.

“When I began teaching at Saratoga, the school didn’t have a mentor program yet, but Honor showed me the ropes and became my mother figure here. I still have a screenshot of the last text she sent to me,” kindergarten teacher Adam Peterson said.

Peterson has found a way to keep

Allison Selk for Shaw Media

Saratoga School kindergarten teacher Adam Peterson shows his students the digital image of the book the students created for publication. Proceeds from this book and a book Peterson’s class created last year will help fund a scholarship in memory of the late Honor Trotter, who taught at Saratoga School.

Trotter’s memory alive in the Morris community.

Peterson has published four children’s books on his own and decided

last year to write a book with that the proof of the book came in the mail year’s class titled “Kids Show Re- and he began to wonder what to do spect,” to promote the importance of writing. He said that a few weeks ago, See HONOR TROTTER, page 37

Chop Shop, fire dept. unite for fundraiser If you go

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Chop Shop opened in October, but owner John Mathias wants its reach to extend farther than a good meal for years to come.

From March 1 to 31, Morris Chop Shop is teaming up with the Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District to raise funds for the Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter, which is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness and funds for families and nonprofit entities that assist those battling cancer on a local level.

“Many of us have been affected by cancer and lost many people because of it,” Mathias said. “It’s important for us to give back with Pink Heals. It’s part of our mission statement to give back at least once a quarter.”

Morris Chop Shop collaborated with Two Brothers Brewing Company of Warrenville, to have a special beer brewed for the month. For every glass of Fire Chief Ale sold at the restaurant, 50 cents will be donated to the Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter. There will be a tapping party March 1 at Morris Chop Shop to unveil the beer. Firefighters are expected to be in attendance.

Department raising money for Pink Heals

n WHEN: March 1 to 31 n WHERE: Morris Chop Shop, 701 N. Liberty

St., Morris n INFO: 50 cents from every glass of Fire Chief Ale sold will be donated to Pink Heals of Joliet

Jessica Bourque – jbourque@shawmedia.com

The Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District’s own Ron Marx was surprised with a visit from his fellow firefighters and the Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter memorial truck in 2014.

“Two Brothers are a couple of local guys I’ve known a long time,” Mathias said. “They were glad to create a beer for this fundraiser.”

This combined effort works toward Pink Heals’ goal of helping those affected by cancer on a local level. Pink Heals is part of a larger, national orga-

nization honoring women with cancer, but locally, the pink truck travels to any family affected by the disease.

According to the Pink Heals Joliet Area Chapter website, the color pink is not used not because of breast cancer, but because it is the color of women.

“To us, it should not matter what type

of illness she or her family has. We as a society have become such a causebased society, when the time has come that we all become people-based,” the site states.

Mathias said raffles are planned at Morris Chop Shop throughout the month, the details of which still are being worked out.

The restaurant has big plans for St. Patrick’s Day on March 17. Irish specialties will be served, and there will be a heated tent in the outdoor seating area.

Mathias said donations also are welcome aside from raffles and purchases. He encourages people to visit chopshopgrille.com and search Morris Chop Shop on Facebook and Pink Heals for information.

Baby boomers take advantage of new hearing aid technology SPONSORED BY

By: Diane Krieger Spivak Think there’s nothing wrong with your hearing?

If you’re one of America’s 78 million baby boomers - those born from 1946 to 1964 - there’s a one-in-six chance you’re suffering from some form of hearing loss, according to a survey by the Better Hearing Institute.

Because most hearing loss is a gradual condition, people often even don’t even know what their ears are missing.

Add the fact that most baby boomers are still in the workforce and you’ll find that there’s a lot at stake for those whose hearing is impaired.

Many, even those who acknowledge hearing loss, have avoided seeking treatment in the past because of embarrassment due to the stigma of hearing aids.

Fortunately, digital technology has replaced old-fashioned, bulky hearing aids - a boon for baby boomers who have been identified as the most active se-

niors in history.

Today’s hearing aids, according are not only virtually invisible, they provide natural sound quality and automatically adjust to all kinds of soundscapes, according to BHI. Waterproof digital hearing aids let active baby boomers enjoy water sports like swimming, skiing and snowboarding and continue their sweaty workouts at the gym since they’re impervious to water, humidity and dust. Additionally, bluetooth compatibility allows hearing aids to work with smartphones, home entertainment systems and other electronics. Wireless, digital hearing aids connect seamlessly to your smartphone, MP3 player, television and more. Some even recharge overnight.

Find out if hearing aids could help you hear better by taking the Ortiz Hearing Center Hearing Aid Challenge. Schedule an appointment for a free hearing evaluation at Ortiz Hearing Center, in Morris. If your results indicate hearing loss, take home a pair of hearing aids to try, risk-free for two weeks to see if there’s an improvement in your hearing.

require a vote to change policy.

Committee members discussed concerns with the fees that a collection agency would get from collected funds before voting to table the discussion until Rudman could be present. Pryor said the collection agency would receive one-third of the money collected as its fee.

“It’s something to explore more,” County Board Chairman David Welter said after the meeting.

MORRIS – The Grundy County Finance Committee discussed this week hiring an outside collection agency to recover significant money owed to the county. Administrator Doug Pryor said the idea was brought up by Assistant State’s Attorney Perry Rudman.

“The State’s Attorney Office has been doing some collections for the county,” Pryor said Tuesday. “There is still six- Highway Committee figures-type money owed to the county.”

Grand Ridge Road, which runs eastHistorically the state’s attorney’s of- west through Grundy County, will have fice has handled collections for the coun- work done this year to help preserve the ty, so hiring an outside agency would road. County Engineer Craig Cassem

said the county will perform crack filling and cape sealing on the road from the LaSalle County line to Route 129.

The County Board’s Highway Committee voted to send an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Mazon to the full county board to work on the approximate 1-mile section of Grand Ridge Road that goes through the village, and is their responsibility.

Cassem said the intergovernmental agreement saves Mazon money and ensures a continuous road surface the entire length of the road.

Cape seal over the Grand Ridge Road project – as well as Reed Road, Broadway Road, Braceville Road and Tynan

Road – is expected to come in near $1.2 million, with $300,000 from the county’s motor fuel tax and $900,000 in matching federal aid. Engineering agreements for 2017 bridge projects also were forwarded to the county board with a positive recommendation.

Cassem said the Braceville Road bridge over the Mazon River is a major project that needs to be completed. That bridge and the Grand Ridge Road bridge over the Johnny Run are eligible for federal funds due to the size of the job.

The county also is starting engineering on the Lowery Road bridge over Waupecan Creek, which is slated to be done in 2017.

Anthony appointed to State Police Professionalism Commission SHAW MEDIA

The Police Professionalism Commission meets Feb. 25. Anthony is a former municipal police officer and county sheriff’s deputy.

“Improving relations between community and police is a priority we all share,” Anthony said in the news release.

“This issue transcends politics, transcends race, and offers an opportunity to both heal divisions that exists within certain communities and strengthen the standards of professionalism within law enforcement. I look forward to sharing

my background and experience as a former police officer with my fellow commission members as we work together to make Illinois a model for the rest of the country.”

The commission was established by the Omnibus Police Reform Bill and signed into law in August by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

The commission is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly and the governor by the end of this year.

Saratoga board OKs transportation request

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – It’s only February, but preparations for the next school year were already underway at the Feb. 16 monthly Board of Education meeting at Saratoga Community Consolidated School District 60C. The board met on a Tuesday instead of the regular Monday meetings in observance of Presidents Day, to tie up loose ends and get the ball rolling for the 2016-17 school year.

Saratoga Superintendent Kathy Perry said the big-ticket item on the agenda was the approval of the transportation request for the next year.

The items were approved, 5-0, with board member Ginger Jones and Vice President Anne McDonnell absent.

The district has three small wheelchair-accessible buses with a lease that will expire in July.

Perry said rather than buying those buses, which all have high mileage, the district proposed the purchase of two buses under Illinois State Bid Pricing at the cost of $57,859 each, and

the lease of a third bus at the rate of $9,600 per year for three years.

The board also approved the purchase of a new van under Illinois state bid pricing at a cost of $28,996.79.

“We have three vans with over 100,000 miles and we need to rotate and retire one of the vans, and purchase another,” Perry said.

Board member Mike Wright asked about how the district repurposes the vehicles and Perry said due to the fact that the vans do not have a front seat, they do not have a trade-in value. Wright asked about a purchase to donate option and the board will look into options at a later date.

Perry said the funds for the vehicles will come out of a shared transportation fund with Morris School District 54 and Morris Community High School District 101.

Perry said the lunch prices for the 2016-17 school year will increase 5 cents to $2.75 for a hot lunch, due to the Paid Lunch Equity Calculator required by the state of Illinois, but milk will remain the same at 35 cents a carton.

LOCAL BRIEFS Morris man dies in Plainfield Channahon man arrested Township after motorcycle crash on drug charges

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP – A Morris man died Saturday evening after a motorcycle crash in Plainfield Township.

Richard C. Wallace, 52, was pronounced dead at 6:47 p.m. in the 22600 block of West Renwick Road, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

According to Will County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Tom Budde, a motorcycle driven by Wallace and a second motorcycle were traveling east Saturday on Renwick Road, passing vehicles in traffic. Wallace entered the westbound lane to pass a vehicle and his motorcycle was hit head-on by a vehicle traveling west and launched into the second motorcycle, Budde said.

The two people traveling on the second motorcycle suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, Budde said, and were transported to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet. Plainfield Fire Protection District personnel provided medical assistance and Will County sheriff’s police were dispatched to the scene at 5:42 p.m.

A Go Fund Me online fundraiser, https:// www.gofundme.com/awqfgprn, has been created to help with funeral costs for Wallace.

CHANNAHON – A Channahon man was arrested and charged last week by police for manufacture and delivery of Xanax and marijuana.

On Friday, Channahon police arrested Matthew R. Hansen, 23, of the 24000 block of Iroquois Drive, and charged him with manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance and manufacture and delivery of marijuana, according to a Channahon Police Department news release. Hansen also has been charged with obstruction of justice, resisting a police officer and unlawful use of weapons. At the time of his arrest, he was wanted on an outstanding felony warrant.

Police stated Hansen was driving and was stopped in the area of Valley and Hummingbird drives because of a traffic violation.

After further investigation, officers identified Hansen and learned he was wanted on a felony warrant issued in Will County.

At the time of Hansen’s arrest, police stated he was in possession of Xanax – used to treat anxiety and panic disorders – and marijuana, which was packaged for distribution, according to the news release.

He is being held in the Will County Jail, according to jail records.

Mobile bidding offered at Joliet YMCA’s gala Tickets to event sold out in early February

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Tickets to the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s 2016 Giving Gala sold out two weeks ago, but opportunities still remain to take part in the event.

Because the YMCA uses a mobile-bidding process, members who aren’t able to attend the event from 6 p.m. to midnight Saturday at Bolingbrook Golf Club can bid from afar on a list of unique items available at JolietYMCA. org.

“Mobile bidding is now very common in fundraisers,” Greater Joliet Area YMCA Vice President of Marketing Carolyn Hamilton said. “If, for example, you’re on vacation or weren’t able to get a ticket, you can bid live online.”

Bidding is open to the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s membership of about

22,000 people.

All one has to do is visit the website, click on a link and register to begin bidding from a selection of about 115 items. The list includes weekend getaways, tickets to sporting events, golf foursomes and more that were donated by businesses and organizations that support the Y.

The nonprofit hopes to surpass a record $140,000 raised at last year’s event, which was part of $725,000 in member and program scholarships provided by the Y in 2015.

All Y fundraiser proceeds benefit the Y’s scholarship fund and help ensure no one is turned away from the Y because of the inability to pay.

A lot of these funds are used in summer programs, as well as before and after school programs, Hamilton said. In 2015, the Y provided 824 member units with the funds raised. A member unit is equivalent to a family, which means one unit represents at least two people.

As a result, the true amount of people who were provided membership in 2015 is much greater than 824.

As the Greater Joliet Area YMCA continues to grow, so does the Giving Gala, Hamilton said.

A dedicated group of volunteers continues to bring fresh ideas as communities continue to support their YMCAs. Examples of growth include Morris Community YMCA celebrating

District 54 continues superintendent search

Community survey will be created for input from residents on future superintendent

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris Grade School District 54 is moving forward with its search for a superintendent.

The position remains open after Teri Shaw resigned in December. The board appointed Al Gegenheimer as interim superintendent.

According to Gegenheimer, the board approved at its Feb. 16 meeting a brochure that was presented by Al Molby executive search consultant with the Illinois Association of School Boards.

“Last night, the board approved a brochure to be circulated,” Gegenheimer said during a Feb. 17 interview.

“The position was posted last week and we’ve already started accepting applications.”

He said Molby will begin circulating the brochure to attract the best

candidate. So far, the district has received about 30 applications and Gegenheimer expects the number to get much higher.

To help aid the board in making the best decision, a community survey will ask parents, staff and community members to weigh in on what they want and need for their district.

“We want the community to provide input to the board before any selection is made,” Gegenheimer said.

A link to the online survey will be sent to parents and a link will be on the district’s website, www.morris54.org.

Gegenheimer said community members have until March 24 to complete the survey.

The public also were invited to a parent’s forum hosted by the PTO on Wednesday to get details on the proposed consolidation of White Oak Elementary School and Shabbona Middle School into the White Oak campus.

Minooka D-111 hires 2 admins

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – The Minooka Community High School District 111 Board hired last week two administrators to fill new positions at the district.

Matt Clark was chosen as assistant principal and granted a one-year, $87,000 contract. Clark currently serves as career and technical education curricular coordinator for grades six through 12 at West Aurora School District 129.

The Minooka district already has one assistant principal, Matt Wikoff, who last year temporarily served in the role of principal as the board searched for a permanent principal after Darcie Kubinski resigned. Wikoff will remain as one of two assistant principals in the district. According to Superintendent Jim Blanche, each of the two assistant principals will eventually be placed at one of the two district campuses – Central or South.

“Right now,” Blanche said, “the principals run back and forth all day. We are a school district of almost 2,800 kids.

That’s a lot of bodies, and we really need to have an administrator on both sides.”

Blanche said he and the board are excited to have Clark join the district.

The second new position, that of director of curriculum and instruction,

was filled with the hire of Janel Grzetich, who currently serves as instructional leader for the district’s English department. Grzetich’s salary for her one-year contract will be $95,000.

Blanche said it’s been about five years since the district has had such a position and that it’s needed today more than ever. In the position, Grzetich will oversee materials students receive; work closely with teachers, instructional leaders and the principal; work with the state and assessment companies to oversee assessment programs; develop leadership plans and provide direct classroom support to teachers, among other responsibilities. Grzetich already is active in several of those areas, Blanche said, and will be able to seamlessly transition into her new role.

“She will also go out there and find out about cutting-edge research and how it can work for our district,” Blanche said. “We have open minds to looking at what others in our field are doing. ...

We are a continuous improvement organization.”

Blanche said the district also is moving to reduce the administrative workload of its instructional leaders by putting them in classrooms to teach three classes.

The two new administrators will begin their positions this summer.

Night at the Races Photos by Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – Community members came out in support of Immaculate Conception School Saturday night during their annual fundraiser “Night at the Races.”

Shaw Hornsby, emcee for the evening, said it’s the only fundraiser he’s aware of that offers a guarantee.

“Guaranteed to be the most fun you have ever had at a fundraiser or your money back!”

He said no one has ever asked for a refund in the seven years they’ve hosted the event. Attendees could bet funny money on horses sponsored by area businesses.

After the races are over, people can trade their funny money in for raffle tickets to try and win one of several gift baskets or they can pool it together to bet on the one live auction item, a day at Arlington Race Track.

Sheldon said he then canceled the response and only Coal City, Morris and Braidwood firefighters stayed on scene.

The fire was under control by 10 a.m., Sheldon said.

Residents had been using the chimney in recent days.

A woman was leaving the home for work and noticed the excessive smoke coming from the chimney area, at which point she called 911.

OPINIONS

29

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget address last week seemed far more designed for people outside the building, most of whom don’t really care about the intricacies of government finance. Most do, however, want to see everyone finally get along and end this eight-month governmental impasse, despite what you may read in online comment sections.

That’s probably why Rauner barely even talked about the budget. It’s no surprise why. For the first time since Illinois became a state in 1818, a governor has submitted a budget for the next fiscal year without having passed a budget for the current fiscal year.

Tens of thousands of the most vulnerable Illinoisans are paying dearly.

No budget means the state can’t help homeless teens, assist women with the trauma of a brutal rape or help addicts kick heroin. Tens of thousands more might have to drop out of college because state universities and a special scholarship program aren’t funded. The majority African-American Chicago State University is perilously close to closing, as are Western Illinois University and Eastern Illinois University.

Even Rauner’s lines that some described as an “olive branch” to the Democratic legislative majority seemed aimed more at the folks back home.

Why? Well, words, even very kind words, are not going to be enough to get this done. The sides are simply too far apart, and now that election season has cranked up again, I’m not sure how this thing is going to be resolved.

The governor wants Democrats to help him undermine their labor union allies before he’ll cut a budget deal. But he’s got tens of millions of dollars in campaign bank accounts that already are being unleashed on Democrats.

They won’t unilaterally disarm themselves in the face of a threat like that.

House Speaker Michael Madigan is one of those Democrats with a well-funded primary opponent. Madigan firmly believes that Rauner put the guy into the race. So, after Rauner concluded his budget address and turned to shake Madigan’s hand, Madigan leaned in and sarcastically cracked, “Thanks for the candidate.”

Some people think that if we could just get rid of Madigan, then the governor would have a free hand to solve

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Morris Herald-News / MorrisHerald-News.com • Thursday, February 25, 2016 *

Back to Square One in the budget battle VIEWS Rich Miller all the state’s problems. But that’s just not the reality. Almost all rank-and-file Democratic legislators are adamant about opposing Rauner.

Hours after his budget address, Rauner attended the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus’ annual dinner event.

The governor chatted with folks and was then unexpectedly asked to speak.

Rauner relied on his usual stump speech that he gives at black churches, saying “The good Lord didn’t make us Democrats and Republicans, the good Lord put us on Earth to do his work.”

He talked about how he wanted to work with everyone in the room. But then he laid an egg.

“My agenda, my goal aligns exactly with the interests of the African-American community,” Rauner declared.

“But we’ve got a broken politics in Illinois and around America where African-Americans primarily vote Democrat; and as a result, Democratic leaders can pretty much ignore the interests of the African-American community because they have the votes all locked up anyway.”

Most people at the dinner were Democratic leaders, and most of them were also African-Americans. His remarks were taken as a direct insult by many in attendance. And I don’t think he had ill intentions, because he also said, “Republicans don’t want to listen to African-American concerns because they never get their votes. That is wrong. We should change that. We should work together in the common interests.”

I don’t know if many people heard that, but they did applaud when Rauner said he wanted to spend more money on education “so it goes disproportionately to low-income schools.”

What he didn’t say, what everyone in the room knew, is that he will agree to do this only after Democrats help him gut the power of organized labor.

And that brings us back to Square One.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No to state bailout of Chicago Public Schools

To the Editor: Going door-to-door throughout my district, I often hear from parents, teachers and school staff who ask about funding for our area’s schools.

I share their urgency and concern.

Local schools must be properly funded by the state, and in fact, there is a lot of work to be done to better support local classrooms.

For this reason, I am speaking out against a recent proposal that has the potential to significantly set back our efforts to help local schools.

Recently, Gov. Bruce Rauner has announced his support for a plan to bail out the Chicago Public Schools.

This school system is in tremendous debt. To name just one of its many failures, when students were being shifted out of 50 closed schools into consolidated classrooms, CPS managed to “lose track” of tens of thousands of computers, desks and books in the transition.

CPS paid $25 million to a company to handle the transition logistics.

The mismanagement is appalling because I know that every dollar that Chicago wastes could make a difference in our local schools.

An Illinois bailout of Chicago Public Schools puts our students, teachers and taxpayers at risk.

We simply cannot be put on the hook for Chicago’s decades of failure.

Please help me speak out against this proposal by signing my petition at www.nochicagobailout/Cloonen or by calling my office at 815-939-1983.

Last year, I was able to help secure nearly $200 million in new school funding.

I will continue to be a strong voice for reform and I will fight to bring more attention and resources to our schools.

Thank you for your help in this important effort.

Sincerely, Kate Cloonen

State representative for the 79th District

The song, “Changes” by the late David Bowie (admit it – an inner voice just sang “ch-ch-ch-changes”) accurately characterizes today’s education world. Parents, students and teachers experience a variety of external forces and pressures that have created a new face of schooling today – one sometimes much different than most baby boomers recall.

Just as the Bowie hit describes the late singer’s self-reflection and apprehension about growing old, educators are wrestling with “doing things the way we always have” and the unknown of what the future holds. Morris Community High School students and staff continue to rise to the challenges change brings in an effort to exceed expectations.

Two major changes this year that have impacted schools across Illinois are the implementation of student growth into teacher evaluation and the decision to use the SAT instead of the ACT as the state assessment for juniors. Our collective attitude toward major shifts has always been to embrace the change in order to improve.

This situation is no different.

COMMUNITY PULSE Patrick Halloran A positive result of No Child Left Behind has been increased accountability for school systems and MCHS has benefited from these requirements. Our school improvement team, the Rising Star Leadership Team, grew out of our need to improve test scores. The result has been a collaborative and thoughtful system of data driven improvements aimed at student achievement. The Performance Evaluation Reform Act of 2010 resulted in student academic growth counting toward 30 percent of a teacher’s performance rating. This change caused some uneasiness for both teachers and administrators as we all learned what this new requirement encompassed.

The teaching staff and administrators have worked collaboratively over the last several years to understand the requirements and implement a system that is fair – keeping improved student

performance at the forefront. The group understands that improvements will be made as needed as the old model of staff evaluation is replaced starting next school year. Embracing this change will increase our use of data to improve student learning.

Last spring, MCHS committed to providing the ACT exam this year for all our juniors at no cost to the student.

Since 2001, all Illinois schools administered the ACT college entrance exam as required. Previously, mainly college-bound students took the ACT. This change was met with a great deal of resistance, but over time, we realized a positive benefit. With nearly double the number of juniors taking the exam, students who wouldn’t have considered college were now pursuing advanced education. Our ACT scores are now at the levels they were when only college prep students took the exam – above the state and national composites.

Just when we thought we had it figured out, the state threw us a curveball. The SAT Corporation won the competitive state bid process and will now provide the required high school assessment. The ACT is the widely rec-

ognized college admissions exam in the Midwest, while the SAT is known more in other parts of the United States.

Soon, 16 years of trend data will no longer be relevant and we will figure out how to best prepare our students for this new state requirement.

Without a state budget, it is still unclear whether the SAT will be given to juniors this spring. One thing is certain: MCHS juniors will take the ACT exam this April at Morris High School.

We all realize that often change is inevitable and often difficult to manage. I anticipate that parents, students and staff will embrace the changes described in this article. As Bowie pines, “time may change me, but I can’t trace time.” Time will tell what the future holds for public education in Illinois.

Morris High grad learns Middle Eastern issues, culture

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Anna Pfaff was admittedly skeptical when she received last year an email from a professor about “the chance of a lifetime.”

But the opportunity for a fully-funded trip to Sderot, Israel, was appealing.

Pfaff, a 2012 graduate of Morris Community High School, was one of 80 students at Hillsdale College in Michigan chosen from 250 applicants to go on the trip in January. In addition to her desire to travel outside the United States for the first time, Pfaff said she was – and remains – genuinely interested in Israel.

“I wanted to hear about the issues, the culture and the society,” Pfaff said.

“And it was really incredible.”

The 10-day trip was organized by The Philos Project, which seeks to promote positive Christian engagement in the Middle East. Pfaff traveled to Sderot, a city of about 24,000 just northeast of the Gaza Strip that is considered by many news outlets as the bomb shelter capital of the world.

Upon arrival, Pfaff said she noticed how outward people were with their religious expression, which she said is in stark contrast to everyday life in the

Anna Pfaff (right), a 2012 graduate of Morris Community High School, recently traveled to Israel with a group of fellow Hillsdale College students and learned culture, religion and government of the Middle Eastern country. states.

“Religious expression is largely muted in modern American society,” Pfaff said.

For example, she often saw Jewish people praying enthusiastically and heard daily the Islamic call to prayer.

“It struck me how the various reli-

gions coexisted, but not without tension,” Pfaff said. “It creates more pressure for residents.”

In one place the group visited, a bomb had just hit two weeks before. In another, they were a couple miles away from where Christians were murdered.

“It was a bit unnerving but I didn’t

feel threatened being in a large group,” Pfaff said.

Because of the controversy associated with the Middle East, Pfaff said she would remind people in Morris and the rest of America that residents of the Middle East are real people, too. She said while she understands Americans might not be worried about people who live 6,000 miles away, they should be careful of saying inflammatory things about Middle Easterners.

“They’re real people, with real issues, just like us,” Pfaff said.

Looking into the future, Pfaff is excited about how the trip can help her on her career path. Although she doesn’t know exactly what she wants to do, the college senior said she’s interested in “the intersection of culture, politics and religion,” and how it affects people and government.

“In Israel in particular, policies create a very tense and high stakes situation,” Pfaff said. “Remembering the people involved has been impactful.”

She said despite its conflicts, Israel is a beautiful country full of culture.

“I appreciate Israel for both its beauty and struggle,” Pfaff said. “It made me appreciate my life and people in it even more.”

FIRE STARTER OF THE MONTH

Morris intensive care nurse honored SUBMITTED REPORT

MORRIS – Morris Hospital honored intensive care nurse Jessica Lee of Seneca as January Fire Starter of the Month. In addition to being an excellent bedside nurse, Lee is a natural leader and today serves as one of Morris Hospital’s top charge nurses in the intensive care unit. Lee says the thought of being a nurse never entered her mind when she was in high school. Yet while she was a student at Illinois Valley Community College, she decided to get her CNA certification and realized how much she enjoyed helping people. She went on to earn her RN degree.

“Every day that I have observed her, Jess shows nothing less than compassion and care to the patients,” co-worker Megan Ochoa said. “To me, she is what Morris Hospital is all about. She cares for the patient while they are hospitalized and continues to care for them even after they leave.”

For example, during a recent post-discharge phone call to a patient’s home, Lee learned that the patient was having difficulty getting her prescription filled and therefore wasn’t taking her medication. Lee called the patient’s physician, got the medication order refilled and informed the patient when

Morris Hospital honored intensive care nurse Jessica Lee of Seneca as January Fire Starter of the Month.

the medication was ready for pickup.

“Besides being very dependable, skilled and knowledgeable, Jessie has excellent critical thinking skills and is very good with the patients,” Morris Hospital ICU supervisor Michele Brewick said. “She knows just what to do at the bedside, and she knows what the nurses need. She’s also motivated to better herself, which betters the unit.”

Lee said she loves being a nurse and feels a tremendous amount of gratification seeing patients recover from often serious situations.

“When I first started my CNA training, I was surprised by how comfortable I was helping someone with their activities of daily living,” she said. “Being able to do something for someone when they can’t do it for themselves gives you a great feeling.”

“I love what Morris Hospital is about, and I love that this is my community,” she added.

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

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

Great season start for Morris-based dance company

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent MONDAY – The dancers and teachers at TNT Dance Studio in Morris are celebrating after landing the top honor at the studio’s first competition of the season the weekend of Feb. 6. The studio was the highest-scoring company at the Platinum National Dance Competition in Davenport, Iowa.

“We did well in everything,” TNT owner Cindy Olznoi said.

It might have been the tap dancing that put the company over the top, though, Olznoi said.

“Definitely their technique is really, really strong,” she said. “Just no one taps like us. We have a different style than everyone else.”

The company also has a particularly strong senior group, Olznoi said.

“It’s the emotional execution of their dances,’ she said of the senior group.

“They make you watch. ... They have some really serious subjects. They have a lot of meaning behind them.”

The company may have a lucky number this year: It submitted 33 competition routines of various sizes, involving a total of 33 dancers.

His secret to safe driving is simple.

“The key is to be well-rested and alert,” McCormick said as he sat last week in A&R’s driver lounge. “I get a good night’s sleep, and from the moment I wake up, I make sure to exercise my mind.”

Considering there’s more traffic on roadways than ever before, McCormick said, it’s become even more important for a driver to be aware of his or her surroundings.

“It was a lot of hard work,” she said.

“We’ve been practicing for about four months. ... I definitely think we have a fierce performing quality. You can definitely see our emotions and the emotional bond we have with each other and with the audience.”

Verchimak plans on double-majoring in dance and biology in college next year.

Jacinda Smith, 16, of Morris, said the competition was fun and successful.

“Everyone here has been working really hard to improve and have a successful season,” she said.

Smith also earned several top awards at the competition, including a Photo provided first place and a Judge’s Choice award The TNT Dance Studio took part in the Platinum National Dance Competition in Daven- for a contemporary duo she did with port, Iowa, earlier this month.

Times and customs may change, but McCormick’s driving approach hasn’t.

“When he gets out of his truck, safety doesn’t leave his mind,” Benefield said.

“He looks at it as his duty to keep all people safe, whether at work, home or play.”

McCormick, who resides in Joliet, thought back to July 2014 when five people were killed within an Interstate 55 construction zone in Channahon Township after a semi-tractor trailer driver crashed into them. The driver still is in the Will County jail awaiting trial on a 15-count indictment, which includes allegations that he was speeding and falsified his duty logbooks.

“I still have that article on my table,” McCormick said. “I look at it as a reminder of what could happen. There’s no price you can put on life.”

McCormick can see the finish line to his own career, and he wants to get there safely. He is divorced and has six grandchildren between his two children. His daughter is an elementary school teacher in Houston, and his son is in the United States Army preparing for his fifth tour of duty.

“I see them about twice a year,” he said. “I think I’ll work four more years, then I hope to see them a lot more.”

A&R Logistics’ Director of Safety Michael Benefield nominated McCormick for the award because aside from his astounding driving record, he’s relied on by “rookie drivers” for his expertise.

“He’s always ready and willing to help the next guy,” Benefield said. “This award would be a synopsis of David’s career.”

Benefield described McCormick as a “striver” and one of the last “good ol’ boys” of truck driving, who truly worked Channahon driver nominated for a living early in his career.

“I got choked up when they told me I was nominated,” Baird said from a terminal in Pennsylvania. “You can’t do any better than this award.”

Baird said Hoffman/G&D is such a good company he travels 158 miles from Indiana just to drive each week. He’s been involved in the trucking industry in one form or another since age 5, whereas McCormick began driving in his late 20s.

While McCormick is thankful for how much trucking technology has advanced and made things safer over the years, Baird is more of a purist.

McCormick believes technology on the newest trucks has made driving much easier, while Baird believes regulations have made things more complicated and restricted for the driver.

But there’s more than one way to reach a destination. Come April 25, one of eight different routes to a NTTC Driver of the Year nomination will be announced as the best one.

“I didn’t want the money to just benefit the kindergarten program or just Saratoga School. So, I talked to the other kindergarten teacher, Tiffany Beeler, and we had an emotional meeting with Superintendent Kathy Perry about setting up a scholarship fund in memory of Honor,” Peterson said.

Peterson since has written and is in the process of publishing another children’s book with his kindergarten class from this year titled “Animals of the Alphabet,” and the profits of both books will help to start the scholarship.

“We wrote this book to make Honor happy. We are selling the books, but I’m keeping my copy at home in my room,” Saratoga School kindergarten student Carson Kilgore said.

Trotter’s husband of 37 years, Neil Trotter, said his late wife would be thrilled about the scholarship.

“Teaching really meant a lot to her. She had great satisfaction to see how the kids changed from the start to the end of the year, and the love they gave to her was equal to what she gave them,” Neil said. “It is tremendous for her to be remembered in this way.”

BUSINESS

Bridging people who care with causes

What is the Community Foundation of Grundy County?

The Community Foundation of Grundy County serves as the bridge that connects our county’s generous donors with nonprofits, local organizations and other partners on a mission to create a better community today, tomorrow and forever for Grundy County.

The Community Foundation of Grundy County is a collection of individual funds that are endowed and grown through professional management to be a permanent income stream for the community.

Then think of that bridge working in a big circle. Donors set up funds at the CFGC to meet their charitable goals and lessen their tax burdens. While we are growing the funds, we are networking with area nonprofits, business leaders, community leaders and elected officials to identify issues that affect our county’s quality of life.

We then report these findings back to our donors, who provide grants from their funds to support the causes that they care about. We also use this information to structure our grantmaking and community leadership.

CFGC is a collection of 50 individual funds. The types of donor-designed funds under management are:

VIEWS Julie Buck • Donor Advised Funds are the most flexible: A donor sets up a fund with a lump sum of cash or asset, then makes grants out of the fund at a time that is convenient to the donor.

• Field of Interest Funds are like-minded donors coming together to pool their assets and provide grants around a particular issue, such as education, fine arts or historic preservation.

• Designated Funds are set up by donors for a specific charity or organization. Grant checks are automatically forwarded to that charity on an annual basis – even after your passing.

• Scholarship Funds support students of all ages, backgrounds and majors who are pursuing a post-secondary certificate, designation or degree.

• Agency Endowments are set up by nonprofits as a permanent income stream as they can count on the annual income toward their operations.

Those 50 funds are a mixture of both endowed and pass-through funds.

Pass-through funds can be totally granted out to $0. The principal of

endowed funds is permanently invested and the income is granted out into the community – whether as grants or as a steady income stream for the nonprofit that created the fund. Agency endowments are becoming more popular among public schools that want to use our services rather than take on the administrative burden of creating and managing a school foundation.

Donors can choose which asset to donate in order to start a fund. The most common assets are cash, highly-appreciated stock and grain. Other highly-appreciated assets – such as land and artwork – can be donated but must first pass a review to determine market value.

Donors can also leave part of their estate as the principal of a donor-designed fund.

Our clients include donors, professional advisers, nonprofits and Grundy County in general. For donors, we give them tools to be more proactive in their long-term charitable giving while lessening their tax burden. For professional advisers we are a “value-added” service they can use to enhance their own services to their clients.

For nonprofits we are partners to enhance their effectiveness in the county.

For Grundy County in general we are a nonpolitical leader with a strong ability to convene discussions in order to identi-

fy issues and develop solutions.

The top five issues of the Community Foundation of Grundy County are: early childhood care and education; land use and protection; workforce development; people in need; and growth and its impact on our county’s systems.

These issues are a priority in our grantmaking, but we are also proud to be flexible enough to help our fellow nonprofits year-round.

The trustees of the foundation are President Ralph Wolter, Vice President Ben Johnston, Secretary/Treasurer Jay Fillman, Jim Baum, Kristi Bennington, Nancy Bjelland, Lois Durkin Darlington, Lorraine Davidson, David Ferguson, Chris Harty, Michael Mattingly and Ann Marie Struck. We also are grateful for community volunteers who serve on our committees: Pat Neff and Fred Kieslar serve on our Grants & Programs Committee. Charlie Gibbs and Dick Sefton serve on our Investment Committee.

Jim King of Balasa Dinverno Foltz is our investment adviser. Staff is Executive Director Julie Buck, Program Director Devan Gagliardo and Accounting Manager Judy Hauch.

Chamber’s Family Fest in Morris offers fun for kids, adults

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – New to Grundy County, Channahon resident Caroline Spreitzer and her son, Milo Spreitzer, wanted to learn more about what their community had to offer.

So they headed Saturday to the annual Grundy County Chamber of Commerce Family Fest, where from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., more than 1,000 people filled Shabbona Middle School in Morris.

That’s where more than 40 sponsors from the county, including nonprofits, first responders, sports clubs, health care facilities and businesses, set up booths filled with information for the adults, as well as games for the kids.

There also was a kids room filled with bounce houses, a martial arts demo, an animal show by Dave DiNaso’s Traveling World of Reptiles and face painting.

The Spreitzers walked up and down each aisle and stopped at booths where Milo played games while his mother chatted with business owners, first responders and nonprofit representa-

tives.

“We moved here from Aurora in October,” Caroline said. “This event sounded fun because of the kids games and it’s been helpful to learn about a lot of businesses that I didn’t even know existed.”

Chamber Executive Director Christina Van Yperen said the purpose behind Family Fest is to let residents to know what’s available locally.

“People travel out of the county for services that are provided right here in Grundy County,” Van Yperen said.

“Plus, it’s a good opportunity for families to get out of the house and burn off some energy.”

Van Yperen said in past years, Family Fest has been held in the Minooka and Channahon area, but due to schedule conflicts, it was held in Morris this year, which may have attracted more local interest.

“We noticed new sponsors, new businesses and new [exhibitors] that haven’t participated in the past, possibly due to it being held elsewhere. We had more people from Morris, Coal City and other areas who maybe didn’t want

to travel to the Minooka area,” Van Yperen said.

Van Yperen reminded residents that the chamber is countywide, not just for Morris, and she has a goal to spread events throughout the county in order to reach everyone, which includes this event. She said Family Fest will not stay in Morris each year.

“We tell our vendors this is a family friendly event, and we have noticed more have provided entertainment for the kids, so mom and dad can have

more time to talk. We find that our vendors have gotten more out of the event by doing this as well,” Van Yperen said.

Megan Teiber of Minooka said her family saw an advertisement for the Family Fest and decided to see what the event was all about.

“We needed to get out of the house and this was fun. Our son, Alex, liked the bounce house and the reptile show.

Plus, it’s fun finding out what is available for families in the area,” Teiber said.

40 BOYS BASKETBALL

Area boys hoping for postseason glory days LEFT: Minooka’s Larry Roberts, shown here during the WJOL Classic Tournament earlier this season, and the Indians are the top seed in their own Class 4A Regional that starts next week.

Minooka has not won a boys basketball regional championship since 1977.

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com With all of the area girls basketball teams eliminated from postseason play and the state individual wrestling meet completed, the bulk of the winter sports focus shifts to the boys basketball arena.

On that front, there may be a few deep runs. A couple of small schools – Newark and Gardner-South Wilmington in Class 1A – are among the top seeds in their respective sectionals, while Class 2A Seneca has quietly become hot, winning seven of their last 11 games to become one of those teams that no one really wants to face in a one-and-done situation.

In Class 1A, Gardner-South Wilmington will bring its 19-7 record to its home floor as the host of a regional that feeds into the Ottawa Marquette Sectional, which will be played at Marseilles Junior High School. Another regional that feeds into that sectional is the Serena Regional. where the sectional’s top seed, Newark, will play. G-SW is seeded second in the sectional and for the two teams to meet, it would be for the sectional title at 7 p.m. March 4.

“Our focus now shifts to the regional,” G-SW coach Chris Gibson said after the Panthers beat Crossroads Christian in their regular-season finale Friday night. “We know that we have some of the teams coming into our building next week, including St. Anne and St. Francis de Sales, we will have to be playing our best basketball to survive.

We look forward to the challenge.”

Other teams in G-SW’s regional are Illinois Lutheran, Donovan, Grant Park and Tri-Point.

Meanwhile, in Serena, Newark brings in a sparkling 24-2 record, after going undefeated in Little Ten Conference play and winning the LTC Tournament title. The only losses on the ledger for the Norsemen this season are to Rockford Jefferson in overtime in the season opener and to LaSalle-Peru in the Plano Christmas Classic. The Norse are on a roll, having scored 90 points or more in their last three games entering the postseason.

They started regional play Wednesday, taking on Serena, which beat Hinckley-Big Rock on Monday. They also have the distinction of having three 1,000-point career scorers on the team – Jack Clausel, Evan Schomer and Will Clausel – so they aren’t a one-dimensional team by any means.

Other teams in the Serena Regional are Leland, Bridgeview Universal, Somonauk and Chicago Morgan Park Academy.

In Class 2A, Seneca opened play

Monday in the Reed-Custer Regional with a 55-31 win over Clifton Central and earned the right to take on top-seeded Reed-Custer in the semifinals on Wednesday. Ross McCormick has been a terror for the Irish since returning from an injury suffered during cross country season and he led the way again Monday with 17 points.

Beating Reed-Custer on its own floor will be no easy task. The Comets score like an NBA team and take about as many 3-pointers. Last year, they set a state record for 3-pointers made in a season and have shown no sign of letting up on that strategy this year. But Seneca has switched its defense since an earlier 35-point loss to the Comets, so if they can frustrate them and keep it close, anything can happen.

The next week will see the larger schools get into the postseason mix, and Morris and Coal City will meet up right away in the Class 3A Plano Regional. In fact, the Redskins must feel like they were dropped into the middle of the Interstate Eight Conference Tournament, as they are the only team not in the I-8 in that regional. If Morris beats Coal City in the opener, they will

take on host Plano in the semifinals.

If the Redskins can get past the Reapers, then they will face the winner of Sandwich and Streator for the regional championship. Considering the rest of the teams that are in the sectional, Morris got a favorable draw for regional opponents.

“As tough as this season has been, there’s still something to play for,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “We were definitely pleased to see where we were when the brackets came out.

The season hasn’t gone exactly how we would have wanted, but if we can finish it up with a plaque, that will certainly make it a little easier to swallow.

“We aren’t taking anything away from the teams in our regional, but we feel like if we play up to our potential that this is a winnable regional for us.”

In Class 4A, Minooka is the top seed in its regional and the top seed in its subsectional of the Lockport Sectional. This has already been an historic year for the Indians, as they won their first conference title since 1991. That’s before any of the players on the current team were born. Now, they go for, according to www.ihsa.org, their first

regional title since 1977, which is likely before some of the parents of the players on this team were born.

The Indians begin play in the regional, which will take place at the MCHS South campus in Channahon, on Tuesday, March 1, taking on the winner of the previous night’s game between Yorkville and Romeoville. If the Indians win, then they will play the winner of Bolingbrook and Lemont for the regional title on March 4. Minooka reached the regional championship last season before falling to Neuqua Valley.

It’s such a great moment to relish. We’re having a good time and kicking butt. I want this season to last as long as I can.”

individual state runner-up Joey Rivera said. “Personally, this is the best team we’ve had.”

That remains to be seen.

The Coalers sent 11 individual wrestlers to the state meet in the hopes of bringing home a boatload of medals. Coal City won five individual medals a year ago and finished with four medalists this season: state champion Riley Kauzlaric (195), runner-up Rivera (113), fourth-place finisher Jake Hiles (120) and fifth-place medalist Alex Friddle (106).

“It’ll be tough again at team sectionals and state,” 138-pound sophomore T.J. Jezik said. “We have to stay healthy and wrestle to the best of our ability. We’re coming in there pretty confident. We hope that carries us past team sectionals and into state.”

“We have a lot of kids who want to give it their best effort and win,” Rivera said. “We want to go to team sectionals and get it done. At team state, we need to wrestle our type of match and, hopefully, bring home a state title.”

PLANO – Coal City has a rich tradition of wrestling excellence, which is evident by its six team state trophies.

However, the Coalers never have won a state title.

They aim to fix that during, arguably, their best season to date. Coal City (26-2) will face Chicago Hope in the Wilmington Sectional semifinal at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Wilmington. The winner moves on and will face either Chicago Bowen or Walther Lutheran in the Class 1A state quarterfinals Saturday in U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.

Bringing home a state championship trophy would dispel any argument that the 2015-16 Coalers are the best team the school has known.

“You’ve heard a couple of guys talking about those things and I stay away from that part of it,” Coal City coach Mark Masters said. “We have to beat Chicago Hope. We’re going to Wilmington and we’re going to put our best team out there we have.

Whomever we face in the quarterfinal round, I’ll worry about that one then.

“If we’re blessed enough to get to the semis, we’ll worry about that and whomever is across the mat from us.

Then we’ll go from there.”

Coal City lost to three-time defending state champion Dakota, 5616, in the state semifinals a year ago before beating Gibson City, 40-31, in the third-place match. The top-ranked Indians (16-7) are on the opposite side of the bracket. In other words, the Coalers could face the Indians in the state championship match at 6 p.m.

Saturday in Bloomington.

“The kids want a state title and to do it as a team,” Masters said. “I want that, too. But we have to worry about the first match. Let’s accomplish the

BOYS BASKETBALL

Morris’ strong start fades in loss to DeKalb

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In what has become a familiar refrain this season, the Morris boys basketball team opened strong against a talented team Friday night, only to see the other team take over later in the game.

On Friday, Morris (9-16, 2-10) took a 14-13 lead at the end of the first quarter against Northern Illinois Big 12 rival DeKalb. However, after scoring 14 points in the first quarter, the Redskins were able to manage just 16 in the final three periods as the Barbs improved to 23-4 overall with a 56-30 win.

“It’s been the same script for a while,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “We hang with a more talented team for a quarter or so, but we are just not able to sustain it. Give a lot of credit to DeKalb, though. They play outstanding defense. They are 23-4 for a good reason.”

One of those reasons is 6-foot-8 center Luke Davis, who scored six of his 16 points in the first quarter before picking up two quick fouls and spending much of the first half on the bench.

With Davis’ inside presence out of the mix, DeKalb turned to Michael Pollack’s outside game, and he responded with three 3-pointers and 11 points in the second quarter as the Barbs were able to outscore Morris, 20-6, in the second to take a 33-20 lead into halftime.

“In the first quarter, we had very few empty possessions,” Blumberg said. “Then we turned it over too many times in the second and they made a run. We get Davis out of the middle and then Pollack gets hot and carries them.

They just had too many weapons.”

Early on, it was the outside shooting of Morris senior Matt Walker that carried the Redskins. Walker hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first quarter and the Redskins committed just one turnover in the first eight minutes.

Besides the two 3-pointers by Walker, Morris got a basket each by Tyler Spiezio (8 points) and JaQuan Boxley and four free throws by Jordan Miracle (12 points).

The tight DeKalb defense took over in the second quarter, limiting the Redskins to just six points, all by Spiezio. The Barbs lit up the scoreboard for 20. Pollack had 11 of his 14 points in the quarter, while Cole Tucker had five of his 10 in the same time frame.

“Our kids came into halftime frustrated after only scoring six points in the second quarter,” Blumberg said.

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

Morris’ Jordan Miracle goes up for a basket in the Redskins’ 56-30 loss to DeKalb on Friday night.

“But we told them, great defense doesn’t take a night off. Hopefully we can learn a lesson from that.”

DeKalb kept the pressure on in the third quarter, as Miracle was the only Redskin player to score. He had two 3-pointers and a drive through the lane for a hoop as the Barbs led, 47-28, after three quarters. The Redskins, who travel to Sycamore next Friday, managed just a basket by Aurelius Lennon-Rios in the fourth.

Before the game, the Morris basketball program honored longtime fans Don and Ruth Bright by giving them stadium seats to make their viewing of Redskin games more comfortable.

They have attended nearly every Morris game in the last 30 years or so and said they have enjoyed watching players such as former Major League Baseball players Scott Spiezio and Kelly Dransfeldt play as Redskins and now enjoy watching their sons take the court.

Also high on their list of memories were the back-to-back regional titles won by the Redskins in 2010 and 2011.

It was also Senior Night, as the Morris starting lineup consisted of seniors Tommy Balentine, Trevor Mathis, Jordan Miracle, Matt Walker and saw Jake Jurasits as an honorary starter.

Jurasits was unable to play due to injury, but was in uniform on the bench.

“Jordan Miracle did a nice job of attacking the basket,” Blumberg said.

“We’ve been asking him to do more of that, and him getting to the line twice in the first quarter for four free throws was good to see. Matt Walker did a good job of sparking us with a couple of 3-pointers early and Trevor Mathis distributed the ball well. Tommy Balentine handles pressure defense very well for us.”

Color is a big key in selecting a lure

Last week I discussed that I had the opportunity to help create a new fishing lure.

We covered the dynamics of marketing, fish catching ability, and pure luck. At one point, I mentioned that the lifeblood of the fishing industry is new products. Part of that new product unveiling each summer involves color selection.

Consumers rarely have the opportunity to a see a manufacturer’s full line of products. What a person sees at the retail location, or even in a retail catalog, is far from what a manufacturer offers.

During my sales days, I bet it would be an accurate estimate that most retailers carried way less than 50 percent of any one brand’s full line of products. Most of the trimming comes in what colors a retailer selects to sell on their shelves.

As I mentioned last week, popular lure designs keep themselves fresh by adding new color choices.

Lures that have withstood the chopping block may have 30 or 40 different possible hues and variations for a retail buyer to sort through.

No store will carry 40 color options for one lure. There just isn’t enough space.

So why is color such a big deal?

It keeps products looking fresh.

Yes, color is important in the actual fish-catching process, but if a consumer never hands over the cash at the register, the lure never hits the water and nobody would ever find out if it catches fish.

If you browse a hard bait aisle at a mega retailer, such as a Bass Pro Shops, the array of choices is stunning.

To make your brand and your product stand out in that clutter is an art form. Color is the key. Most manufacturers stick to the time-tested basics.

They offer natural colors for clear water situations and darker, more solid colors, for stained to dirty water. But from that basic scheme, the design team gets to work.

INTO THE OUTDOORS Steve Rogers Their goal is to catch the eye of that angler walking through the store and flipping through a catalog. The success of their business depends on it.

So how do everyday anglers cut through the clutter and spend their dollars?

I am asked that question numerous times throughout the year. It boils down to a simple process. Natural colors are always a good place to start. The clearer the water, the more natural the baits.

There are always exceptions, but this general rule will cover most situations. If the water is darker, or even muddy, select colors that are more solid. Your dark blacks, dark blues, and chartreuese choices will work.

Once you have that basic understanding, then you can fine-tune your color choices.

Sometimes a lure with a splash of red is the ticket. Sunny days may call for something with more flash, like your silvers.

If you line up a hundred anglers and ask them all this same question, each one will have their go-to color combination for a scenario. The key is finding yours.

If you have a few minutes to spare in your week, grab your computer and Google some of your favorite lure manufacturers.

Most of them have a downloadable file that will show you every product and color choice they offer.

Browse through them.

You will find things you had no idea they made. You will see color charts endless in variation. I find it fascinating to see what is out there.

And just when you think you have seen it all, new colors will pop up next year.

For many senior citizens, their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.

With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

Some people think that reverse mortgages simply sound “too good to be true.” You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain in In 1988, President Reagan signed the their homes. They’re simply FHA Reverse Mortan effective way for folks 62 gage bill into law. and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income.

“I now have paid off my credit cards and have money in the bank and still have my home.”

- Margaret Tennant, Summerfield, NC

Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more information due to rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life.

A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM reverse mortgage lender, found that 96% of their clients were satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

GREAT GRATIN Impress your family with this warm fall favorite By the editors of Relish Magazine

A

perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving spread, Spinach and Gruyère Gratin is a creamy spinach casserole blanketed in a layer of cheese-coated bread crumbs.

Gratin is a French cooking technique that couldn’t be easier to do. The filling (anything from fruit to potatoes to leafy vegetables like the spinach in this recipe) is layered in a shallow baking dish with milk and seasonings, then it’s topped with a shower of buttery bread crumbs and baked until golden brown. In this recipe, panko steps in for the usual dry bread crumbs, resulting in a topping that’s crunchy and coarse, a nice contrast to the creamy spinach.

Spinach and Gruyère Gratin n 2 tablespoons butter, divided n 1 large onion, finely chopped n 3 large garlic cloves, minced n 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour n 1 teaspoon salt n 1½ cups whole milk n ¾ cup shredded Gruyère cheese n 4 (10-ounce) packages frozen

chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry n 1 cup panko bread crumbs n ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

The “Arrow” aspect comes in as Sara (Caity Lotz) discovers what became of her loved ones.

8 p.m. on % WMAQ The Blacklist “The Caretaker” is not only the title of this new episode, but also the alias for someone apparently involved in the overseas murder of a State Department official.

Jake’s (Scott Foley) new control of the National Security Agency prompts Olivia (Kerry Washington) to wonder what he has in mind. Darby Stanchfield and Katie Lowes also star.

8 p.m. on ) WGN The 100 Though she has revenge on her mind, Clarke’s (Eliza Taylor) emotions nag at her to temper her rage in the new episode “Bitter Harvest.” Kane and Octavia (Henry Ian Cusick, Marie Avgeropoulos) become partners in trying to stop a disaster from happening. Abby’s (Paige Turco) concerns about Raven (Lindsey Morgan) grow. Isaiah Washington, Bob Morley and Devon Bostick also star.

Anna Faris stars in “Mom” Thursday on CBS. 8:01 p.m. on ^ WBBM Mom The new episode “Sticky Hands and a Walk on the Wild Side” has a particularly literal title, since it involves Christy and Bonnie (Anna Faris, Allison Janney) getting their hands dirty as they try to transport a certain something over the Canadian border without attracting authorities’ attention.

8:30 p.m. on ^ WBBM 2 Broke Girls Max and Caroline (Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs) are Hollywood-bound in the new episode “And the Lost Baggage,” as Caroline takes studio meetings about having her life story turned into a movie.

Sitcom titan James Burrows — feted earlier in the week in a special saluting his career — directed the tale, written by series co-creator Michael Patrick King.

9:01 p.m. on % WMAQ Shades of Blue Harlee (Jennifer Lopez) commits fully to helping Stahl (Warren Kole) bring down Wozniak (Ray Liotta) in the new episode “Good Cop, Bad Cop.” Harlee also has concerns that are personal as well as professional, since her daughter (Sarah Jeffery) and the latter’s boyfriend are targeted by two policemen who go beyond bounds.

Kristin and Ed (Amanda Fuller, Hector Elizondo) are dismayed by an incognito critic’s review of the restaurant.

The life and career of Fats Domino is profiled in “American Masters” Friday on PBS. artists and newcomers in the East Room of the White House. Since singer-songwriter Charles is the talent in question, “Georgia on My Mind,” “What’d I Say,” “Crying Time” and “I Can’t Stop Loving You” are all but guaranteed to be among the selections here.

9:01 p.m. on _ WLS 20/20 As Academy Award weekend begins, the special edition “Journey to the Oscars” — featuring Robin Roberts as host — showcases a number of nominees in the running for the movie industry’s top prize.

Among performers whose screen histories are traced, some speaking directly with Roberts: Sylvester Stallone (“Creed”), Bryan Cranston (“Trumbo”), Brie Larson (“Room”) and Matt Damon (“The Martian”). Of course, many clips from the films are included.

10 p.m. on + WTTW American Masters The singer-pianist whose hits included “Ain’t That a Shame” and “Blueberry Hill” — and whose crossover success had a big social impact — is recalled in the new offering “Fats Domino and the Birth of Rock ’n’ Roll.”

6 p.m. on _ WLS Oscars Opening Ceremony: Live From the Red Carpet “Who are you wearing?” If that’s not the ultimate question, it certainly will be one of the most popular, as it customarily is when celebrities gather for the movie industry’s top ceremony.
