Welcome to the weekly Morris Herald-News If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my time on earth, it’s that change is not easy, and often not welcome.

It’s easy to understand why; we’ve survived so far with the way things have been, why mess around with it?

This week, the print version of the Morris Herald-News has been converted to a weekly print product with a daily online presence. I ask you to give us a chance as we try a new direction for the publication – one that has been forged so we can continue to be the No. 1 daily source of local news, sports and marketing solutions in Grundy County.

One change I’m excited about is announcing that Rob Oesterle, who has covered sports for the publication for years, is now the news editor of the Morris Herald-News. Rob was born and raised in Morris, and has made his home here. I’m confident he will do a great job at spearheading our coverage in print and online platforms.

And while the frequency of the print product has changed, the meat of

A look at road names in and around Morris, and the families they stem from

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – What is the history behind the road you live on?

A ride through the streets of Morris and the rural back roads of Grundy County is like leafing through an area history book.

Names – sometimes long-forgotten, but often still locally relevant – are on road signs at many intersections.

When Harold Nelson was growing up on his family’s Morris farm, his address simply was “Rural Route 4,” a route number the post office used to deliver mail.

Today, Nelson and his wife, Getty, are the last Nelsons on that stretch of country road, which doesn’t look much different from when the now90-year-old man was growing up.

“I guess they named it Nelson Road because there were five Nelsons who lived on the road,” Harold Nelson said. “It’s been the Nelson farm since before 1900.”

Harold Nelson is the third generation in the two-story farmhouse that housed his father and grandfather before he raised his three children there.

A little over a mile away – as the crow flies – on Gore Road, Arthur Gore and his wife, Marion, live on the Gore Centennial Farm.

The Gore family has lived on the rural farm – which sits next to Nettle Creek and now takes up 220 acres in Saratoga Township – since the 1800s.

Marion Gore said family members have received all kinds of looks when they give their address to people.

“Art is the fourth generation on this farm,” Marion Gore said. “I heard that they named the roads for the oldest farm still in a family.”

Getty and Harold Nelson stand on Nelson Road, the road named after their family, Jan. 27 in Morris.

Former Grundy County Engineer Dick McTague said that is pretty much how it happened.

And he would know: He was one of the men tasked about 1960 with naming the rural roads in Grundy County.

“We looked at who was the oldest farmer on the road,” McTague said.

He said the naming group tried to recall earlier settlers, and in some areas that was easy to do.

Hoge Road, for instance, is named for the Hoge family, whom Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said were

the first white settlers in Grundy County.

William Hoge and his father, Joshua Hoge of Virginia, came in 1829 to this area of Illinois, which was LaSalle County at the time, and bought 880 acres of land.

In 1831, William Hoge returned with his wife, Rachel, and built a home on what is now Pioneer Road.

In 1841, the area became Grundy County.

The history is preserved by Marion Gore, who has studied and collected information on her husband’s

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

family. The roots of the family tree carry the last name Hoge.

It wasn’t until the mid-1970s that the Gores started writing their address using the name Gore Road.

They, too, had the address of Rural Route 4 before that time, just like the Nelsons.

Road names have historical significance to the area

Eighth-graders job-shadow village staff, mayor

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – Channahon Junior High School’s Student Council officers got to play key roles in local government Monday as the mayor and village staff invited eighth-graders to get a close-up look at how the village operates.

In a new school and village job-shadowing program, the students spent an afternoon at the Village Hall, getting a tour of the facilities and learning how their local government works.

They also sat at the dais alongside elected trustees and the village president to lead a board meeting that evening.

Student Council President Dominic Alberico served as the student village president, next to Channahon Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher, who guided Alberico through his leadership role.

“It’s really fun,” Alberico said midway through Monday night’s meeting.

“I don’t have a fear of public speaking.

I just get nervous about messing up.”

This is the first year for the job-shadowing program started by Moorman Schumacher. She displays student art in Village Hall and regularly reads to students in Channahon School District 17.

“It’s a hands-on learning experience that you can’t duplicate in the classroom,” Moorman Schumacher said.

Earlier Monday afternoon, Moor-

Here, they get briefings from Channahon village staff. man Schumacher led a staff meeting in the board room, where each member explained his or her responsibilities. The students listened and took notes, and after a tour of the facilities, were paired up with one of the village leaders. Alberico shadowed Moorman Schumacher.

“It was very informational,” he said. “We learned what they do every day and how they work with each other.”

Student Aiden Breen worked with Public Works Director Ed Dolezal, who

showed him budgets, blueprints for widening Dove Drive and plans for a sewage pump station.

“It’s interesting,” Breen said. “You get to see behind the scenes how everything happens.”

Student Emily Slocum, the daughter of Village Trustee Scott Slocum, was paired up with engineer Don Kinzler, who showed her how he rates roadways in terms of their condition.

“I like to see how we can improve the community,” Slocum said.

Involving students in local govern-

ment was one of Moorman Schumacher’s priorities when she was elected village president. It was one of District 17 Superintendent Nick Henkle’s as well.

Henkle said he had the job-shadowing program in mind when he met Moorman Schumacher and she brought up the idea.

“It was something I had participated in college,” Henkle said. “It teaches them citizenship and civics, and that’s a huge thing we do in schools. ... It jumps off the textbooks and makes it seem real.”

Student Council sponsor and social studies and language arts teacher Ted Martin organized the students for the program and said it went great.

“As leaders themselves,” Martin said of the students, “it’s nice for them to see leadership in the community we live in and to see how government works. ... This was just a wonderful, wonderful experience for the kids.

They really want to get involved and make our school and community better.”

Other student participants included Grace Wingerter, Miranda Gierman, Carter Appleton, Abby Pettigrew, Liam Graham, Libby Flanagan and Holly Kropke.

Channahon Village Board considers providing digital radios for police officers

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – This week’s Channahon Village Board meeting was a short one, and it was led by a group of 10 Channahon Junior High School students.

The Future Leaders of Channahon, as they were dubbed, were Student Council officers who job-shadowed the mayor and village staff earlier in the afternoon and sat at the dais with village trustees during the meeting.

Both students and trustees questioned Steve Rauter, executive director of Western Will County Communication Center during a discussion of digital police radios.

WESCOM is a unit of local government that runs dispatch functions in Channahon and 20 other area fire

protection, law enforcement and EMS agencies in Will, Grundy, DuPage and Kendall counties.

The Channahon Police Department is considering upgrading its police radios from analog to digital, Police Chief Jeff Wold said.

The cost will be considerable, Wold has said, but the reception of the current radios has not been ideal since the officers’ particular radio band was cut in half.

Rauter said WESCOM’s agencies use analog radios but are gearing up to go digital. The price on digital is coming down, as well, and the price of using analog continues to rise.

Going digital would mean better tracking of patrol officers, Rautner said, as the radios have built-in GPS software. They can also send and receive short text messages. WESCOM’s

new Plainfield building, constructed in 2014, has the capacity to take on the new digital technology, Rautner added.

Channahon trustees could vote at a future meeting on buying digital radios.

Also Monday, Community Development Director Mike Petrick announced a public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Feb. 8 at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to discuss the senior housing project planned, designed by a developer for Catholic Charities, for the Town Center area.

The plans so far are for four, three-story buildings with 12 apartments each. Monthly rents on the oneand two-bedroom units could range from $350 to $850, and the developer has estimated that more than 25 percent of residents will likely receive financial assistance.

There will be a SURPRISE open house in honor of Virginia Wollgast’s 90th birthday on Saturday, Feb. 6, at the Goodfarm Lutheran Church Hall. The open house will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 with cake, coffee and punch being served. For those who can’t make it, but would like to send birthday wishes, we are holding a card shower for Virginia. Her address is as follows: Virginia Wollgast, Elliott Manor, 200 W. Waverly St., Apt. 517, Morris, IL 60450.

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County supervisor of assessments position remains open nearly six months after Stephanie Kennedy resigned effective Aug. 7.

Despite having the position on the January county board meeting agenda, and then removed at the meeting and holding a special Tax Committee

meeting last week, the board has not hired anyone.

“We are still in negotiations with a candidate and we are hopeful we will be able to move forward soon,” Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said Friday. “It has not been an easy process.”

Welter said in December the county has held two testing dates and at one point offered a candidate the position, but the that person declined the

job.

County Administrator Doug Pryor said officials have spoke with other counties throughout the state who also have had the position open for at least six months.

“We are putting in a lot of work to find the right candidate,” Pryor said.

“Thankfully we have a veteran staff who have had to do some heavy lifting. They have been able to do it, but we don’t want it to become a burden

on them.”

Pryor said the county has been lucky enough to have two really good assessors, so it’s important to find a quality candidate.

Kennedy was appointed to the role in July 2014 and served as assessor for one year before returning to LaSalle County, where she was hired as supervisor of assessments. She worked in LaSalle County for seven years previously.

Morris man creates havoc at 2 Joliet motels

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Morris man who allegedly failed in two attempts to get free hotel rooms wound up lodging as a guest of Will County on Sunday night.

Sean P. Becker, 27, was arrested on charges of attempted robbery, vandalism, disorderly conduct and making a false fire alarm. At 8:56 p.m., Beck- Sean er came into Red Roof P. Becker Inn, 1750 McDonough St. in Joliet, and asked the desk clerk for a room, but said he didn’t have any money with him, Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said.

“He asked if he could use the phone to call his aunt. The clerk let him do so, but said she couldn’t take a credit card over the phone,” Gregory said.

The desk clerk then began to check in a 54-year-old Wilmington woman.

“Becker asked that guest for money.

When she reached into her purse to pay for her own room, he knocked everything off the counter, including the computer and credit card machine,” Gregory said.

Becker tried to grab the woman’s purse, but could not get the strap off her wrist and fled, Gregory said.

Four minutes later, the clerk at the Budget Inn, 1806 McDonough St., called police while officers were en route to the Red Roof Inn. “Becker had come in and asked for a room but didn’t have any money. When he was told they didn’t give free rooms, he knocked everything off that counter and pulled the fire alarm,” Gregory said.

Officers found Becker in the 200 block of South Larkin Avenue and he was identified by victims at both motels, Gregory said. Becker was booked into the Will County Jail at 10:46 p.m.

use of streets for 2016 Morris Cruise Nights.

Wyeth also expressed a desire to upgrade the downtown Morris outdoor sound system, which has become a bit outdated, he said. Mayor Richard Kopczick requested that Wyeth get an estimate together for the project.

In news out of the Judiciary and License Committee, representatives from Montage Wine Bar & Spirits discussed a possible application for a Class A liquor license. The establishment is considering a change from a

Class K1 liquor license, in order to offer more types of liquor and expand its craft cocktail menu.

The license wouldn’t be active until May 2 if approved after a formal application because that is when all liquor licenses for the year are made active.

Kopczick noted May 1 is a Sunday and city operations are closed.

Committee members gave favorable feedback on the proposed change and owner Michelle Xydakis will return with a formal application in the coming months.

MORRIS – The Morris City Council approved, 8-0, during Monday’s meeting a minor subdivision separating parcels at 1771 N. Division St., also known as Route 47, after a request from First National Bank of Ottawa.

The site covers more than 2 acres and the lot created will be legally conforming to the Morris Municipal Code B-3 commercial zoning district.

The Morris Planning Commission positively recommended last week that the council approve the subdivision, which will make way for the construction of a 4,000-square-foot Sherwin-Williams at the south end of the lot.

The Morris Development Review Committee approved the site plan in December.

“This is just formally dividing the two areas in the lot,” Morris building

and zoning officer Bill Cheshareck said to the council. “It received unanimous support from the Development Review Committee and the Planning Commission.”

In a lengthy list of requests at the start of the meeting, the council approved Morris Downtown Development Partnership’s request to use various city streets for the 2016 Liberty Arts Festival from July 14 through July 16.

MDDP Executive Director Julie Applegate spoke to the council, and said that after receiving feedback on the first year of the festival, several people recommended bringing the art displays closer together. Applegate said everything will be located closer to the Grundy County Courthouse at this year’s event.

Morris Cruise Nights founder Herb Wyeth also spoke to the council and presented the dates and requested

ton-counting game; three crafts where the children colored Pete the Cat glasses, feet and Pete the Cat himself; and a blue paper plate craft to create a Pete the Cat face.

“Making the Pete the Cat faces was my favorite because Pete the Cat stories are my favorite,” said Audrina Nugent, 5, of Coal City. “‘Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes’ is my favorite book.”

The event lasted an hour, and the packed room buzzed with kids’ laughter and chatter. Many parents said they frequent these library events for this purpose and some attend a preschool program offered by the library.

“My family loves to read, so we are here all of the time, and all of the librarians are great. We come to these events because my whole family can attend, it’s free, safe and my kids get to hang out with their friends,” Stacy Bell said.

COAL CITY – Daisy Bell listened and watched as the words and pictures of her favorite book character, “Pete the Cat,” created a story.

The Coal City girl giggled, recited the words from the book as they were being read aloud, and sang along with Pete the Cat as did 35 other boys and girls who sat patiently to see what Pete would do next.

The Coal City Public Library District kicked off its annual “Winter Read-Rock Out with a Good Book” program Saturday with a Pete the Cat party.

Coal City Public Library Children’s Services Librarian Jen Williams greeted each child and directed them to seats near the stage. The children were impatient with excitement and snuck peeks at the books to be read during the story time.

“Let’s begin story time with the book ‘Pete the Cat, I Love My White Shoes.’ I’m going to read this one because I can sing along and you can sing along as well,” Williams said.

It was evident each child was a Pete the Cat fan, because as Williams read, most of the children said the words

Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs will be at the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Feb. 11. The event, with lunch served, will be held at Channahon Village Hall,

Illinois residents. Most assets are transferred to the state after they’ve been inactive for at least five years.

It’s possible you or someone you know may have unclaimed assets. One in eight Illinois residents has an asset to be claimed in I-Cash, according to the website. Assets include everything from stocks and CDs, to safe deposit boxes and valuables. The law that created the unclaimed property program was estab-

lished in the early 1960s as a consumer protection initiative.

“I think it’s pretty interesting,” Mendez said. “I don’t know if our residents or business know about it.”

Within weeks, residents can be reconnected with their cash or assets, allowing them to enter the next exciting phase of discovery – how to use their findings, according to the I-CASH website.

The Chamber asks that those interested please register by Feb. 9 in order to have an accurate headcount for lunch.

MORRIS – A Braceville man has been charged in a motorcycle crash that injured two Saturday night in Morris.

Jeffrey Vollmer, 46, is charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and driving too fast for conditions after Morris police responded to the single-vehicle incident at 9:08 p.m. on Route 47 near Bedford Road, according to Police Chief Brent Dite.

Both Vollmer and his passenger were transported to Morris Hospital for treatment.

After being released from the hospital, Vollmer was processed at the police department.

He posted bond and was released pending a Feb. 29 court date, according to Dite.

MORRIS – Just about anyone would like to have money that is rightfully theirs.

If you think there might be unclaimed cash or assets out there for you, or you’re just curious, the next Grundy County Chamber of Commerce’s luncheon could help provide an answer. From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb 11, Illinois State Treasurer Michael W. Frerichs will explain the state’s I-CASH program, which connects people with their cash and other assets.

The event, with lunch served, will be held at Channahon Village Hall.

According to the Chamber’s Christine Mendez, all it took was a phone call to Frerichs.

“I called and asked if he’d like talk about I-CASH at one of our events,” Mendez said. “He said ‘No problem,’ and we set up the date.”

She said Frerichs will discuss in detail what the program’s purpose is, how it works and how you can potentially gain assets that belong to you. Mendez said often when someone passes away, money or assets are left behind and the I-CASH process serves to resolve those matters.

According to icash.illinois.gov, the state currently has $2.1 billion in cash, plus contents from Illinois bank safe deposit boxes, which need to be returned to

Children from kindergarten to sixth grade have the opportunity to learn the basics of basketball at practice during the week and then come together Saturdays in January and February to play against each other.

• ROADS

Continued from page 3 said there is a lot of history in the names of roads, both in the county and in the city of Morris.

For instance, she lives on Brown Road, which was named after Raymond and Paul Brown, whose names also fall in her family tree.

The city of Morris has the typical street names of the 1800s, including patriotic names like Liberty Street and presidential names such as Washington, Jefferson and Jackson streets.

It also has names that are special to the town and the history of its creation.

People often travel down Armstrong Street, named for George W. and William E. Armstrong, who worked to secure Morris as the county seat for Grundy County.

Residents have addresses on Chapin Street and Kiersted Street, named for John P. Chapin and George H. Kiersted, respectively.

Chapin worked with William Armstrong and laid out what was called Chapin’s addition to Morris (which also was known as Grundyville or Grundy before he went on to serve as mayor of Chicago in 1846).

Kiersted worked with Jacob Claypool in 1845 to prepare plans for the first jail in Morris.

Newer developments also tell the sto-

“I guess they named it Nelson Road because there were five Nelsons who lived on the road.

It’s been the Nelson farm since before 1900.”

Harold Nelson Morris resident

ry of a family. South of Morris in Richards Subdivision are three roads – Susan Lane, Daryl Street and Jacqueline Street – named for the children of subdivision developer Thomas Richards.

McTague said when Grundy County was naming roads, if the naming group couldn’t find a family to name it after, they used landmarks. Examples include Airport Road, Jugtown Road and Scott School Road.

Even in those names there is a history many in the area don’t know: Jugtown, for instance, was once a town located where Goose Lake Prairie State Park now stands.

Both Arthur Gore and Harold Nelson said they enjoy seeing their family’s name on the road where they have so many fond memories.

“It’s kind of nice to have your name on the road,” Arthur Gore said. “But everyone figures you must be a multimillionaire.”

Grundy County Animal Control director dies June Krull, who worked for the county for nearly 20 years, died Friday of cancer

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County Animal Control Director June Krull, who served the county and its animals for nearly 20 years, died Friday after a long battle with cancer.

“It was difficult news to get,” County Board Chairman David Welter said. “She devoted her life to Animal Control and grew it to what it is June Krull today.”

Krull, 67, lived in Mazon and was born in Morris, according to her obituary, the daughter of the late William and Maxine (Peterson) Sproull. She attended primary school in Verona and graduated from MVK High School. She attended Joliet School of Cosmetology.

On April 8, 1967, June married

Robert Krull in Assumption Catholic Church in Coal City. She worked at Napa Auto, Bum’s Tavern and Cinder Ridge before going to Grundy County Animal Control, where she worked for the past 19 years.

“She enjoyed working in her yard, and will be most remembered for love of spending time with friends and family. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy,” the obituary stated.

Welter said he hopes the county can continue with the vision she had for the department.

“She took it from a trailer south of the river to what it is today,” he said.

“She fought for funding to provide services to the animals in the county.”

Visitation and a video tribute for Krull were held Feb. 2 at Reeves Funeral Home in Coal City. Funeral services followed Wednesday at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church in Coal City.

Strokes are the number one cause of serious adult disabilities in the United States, and the majority of strokes occur in people over the age of 65. The physical after-effects of strokes vary in patients, depending upon the extent of the damage caused to the brain. Some individuals develop mobility issues. Others have speech abnormalities or paralyzed limbs. The good news is that there are therapies available that can help restore some of the functions that have been lost due to stroke.

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Morris police played an important role Saturday in getting 117 pounds of marijuana off Interstate 80.

Erik M. Castillo, 27, of Visalia, California, was arrested at 2:20 p.m. by Illinois State Police on charges of possession with intent to deliver more than 5,000 grams of marijuana and possession of more than 5,000 grams of marijuana.

State police Sgt. Scott Angus said Tuesday the arrest occurred near mile marker 114, Erik M. two miles east of Route Castillo 47, following a routine traffic stop. After speaking with Castillo, a trooper requested consent to search the vehicle, which was denied.

A call was then made to dispatch requesting K-9 assistance. Morris Police K-9 Officer Patrick Funk and his service dog, Talon, arrived promptly for a search, Angus said. If a K-9 detects the presence of drugs, an officer then has probable cause to search the vehicle.

The 117 pounds of marijuana was found in the trunk, Morris Police

Chief Brent Dite said.

The car had Massachusetts license plates, but Angus said Castillo gave unclear answers when asked where he was going.

According to Grundy County court records, Castillo is due in court Feb. 11 and his bond was set at $50,000 despite a request of $100,000 from the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Angus said Castillo’s arrest was one of two traffic stops during the weekend in which a driver denied consent to search the vehicle and a K-9 was called in. In the second incident, the dog detected the presence of contraband.

“It was quite a busy weekend,” Angus said.

The arrests come a week after state police Jan. 24 arrested Robert G. Ryberg, 65, address unknown, after Ryberg gave consent to search his vehicle during a traffic stop on I-80 near mile marker 112.

Angus said the vehicle Ryberg was driving had between 20 and 30 pounds of marijuana in it.

Ryberg was charged with possession with intent to deliver more than 5,000 grams of marijuana and possession of more than 5,000 grams of mar-

ijuana.

Dite on Monday evening updated the Morris Judiciary and License Committee on 3-year-old Talon’s progress, as highlighted by this latest bust.

Dite said Funk and Talon are requested for service by other agencies often and have assisted in many arrests.

Between two Grundy County Sheriff’s Office K-9s and one serving the Minooka Police Department, Dite said it’s a matter of which K-9 team is available.

The tropical throw on the cover of the January CB2 catalogue signals a fresh breeze at a retailer known for minimalist chic.

Print and pattern are making themselves at home in the modern urban apartment, thanks to CB2’s design collaboration with Hill-Side.

The Brooklyn-based menswear company, founded in 2009 by brothers Emil and Sandy Corsillo, developed a loyal following for its brushed-flannel button-downs, chambray ties and vintage-inspired fabrics. This casual style matches the modern, urban customers of CB2.

“These two brothers have so much passion and vision for textiles, with Japan being a big part of their inspiration,” said Ryan Turf, CB2 managing director. “Their prints have this cool heritage-vintage vibe. They feel really modern.”

The Corsillos’ talents in textile design show through in their first home collection, which includes furniture, bedding, towels, rugs, pillows, floor cushions and that indigo linen throw on the catalog’s cover.

Voted one of GQ’s “2015 Best New Menswear Designers in America,” the pair sources fabrics from centuries-old Japanese mills and small Pennsylvania textile works. The brothers’ clothing is sold at their Hill-Side shop in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, on their website, Hickorees, and at other

retailers globally.

Turf and his team reached out to the Corsillos a year and a half ago about developing a home line.

“They were interested in tapping into a male audience that in the past five years or more has been taking more of an interest in their clothes,” said Emil Corsillo, 36. “These same guys who were now focusing on shopping for clothing could also become important housewares customers.”

The Hill-Side collection, with its rich colors, prints and textures, seems to speak to the kind of men, and women, who wear Carhartt work pants with floral-print shirts. The customer who loved the Corsillos’ Donegal tweed sneakers might go for Photos provided their blanket-stripe dhurrie pillows.

SENECA – A Morris man was charged over the weekend with numerous citations after a single-vehicle crash early Saturday just east of Seneca, according to the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Department. According to police reports, Jon Hausken-Martin, 26, of Morris, lost control of his 2015 Chevrolet pickup truck while heading west about 1:45 a.m. Saturday near the 2900 block of North 26th Road. Hausken-Martin struck a number of posted signs and a ditch embankment before fleeing the scene, police said. Police located the vehicle about 2 a.m., finding open alcohol inside.

Hausken-Martin surrendered to the sheriff’s department about noon Saturday. Police said Hausken-Martin called beforehand to see if he could get the vehicle back from the tow company without coming to the station, but was told he couldn’t have his truck back without filling out a crash report.

Hausken-Martin was cited with leaving the scene of an accident, illegal transport of alcohol, failure to report an accident to police, failure to file a report after striking property, improper lane use and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, according to police reports.

Chamber, GEDC taking award nominations CHAMBER COLUMN

Christina Van–Yperen MORRIS – As we look back on 2015, the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce & Industry welcomed 52 new members and retained 98 percent of our membership. In an ever-changing business climate, we are both proud and honored to have such an active membership of more than 550 members.

To express our appreciation, we team up with the Grundy Economic Development Council every year to hold an Annual Dinner & Celebration where both organizations take time to thank our members and investors, as well as recognize some who have stood out in 2015.

This year’s dinner will be March 9 at the Morris Country Club, 2615 W. Route 6 in Morris. There is a social hour at 5 p.m., dinner at 6 p.m. and presentations at 7 p.m.

The Chamber is taking nominations of its members for the awards of Business of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Organization of the Year and the Community Service Award. The GEDC is taking nominations of its investors for Business of the Year, the Partnership Award and the Welcome to Grundy

Last year, the Grundy County Chamber awarded Business of the Year to Cyber broadcasting of Coal City; Entrepreneurs of the Year were David and John Bankowski, owners of Brothers Country Supply in Morris, Ottawa and Oswego; Organization of the Year went to the Community Foundation of Grundy County; and the Community Service Award to ExxonMobil.

Pre-Valentine’s Day event aimed at bringing more shoppers downtown

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – As another Valentine’s Day approaches, the Morris Retail Association begins next week a year of events that aim to keep both local and non-local shoppers coming back for more.

The MRA’s “Sweet Night Out” is set for 4 to 8 p.m. Feb. 11, and welcomes shoppers to enjoy complimentary sweet treats and beverages while searching for special savings at downtown stores.

Noting it is the first coordinated MRA event of 2016, Ruby Begonia’s co-owner Jessica Bradley said retailers have been looking forward to “Sweet Night Out” because it’s the first since a series of Christmas-themed events, such as the “It’s a Wonderful Life” open houses.

Not to mention, it’s a good reason to step out into the winter cold.

“People may have been stuck in the house for a while,” Bradley said. “It’s a good excuse to get out of the house, maybe have dinner with friends and go shopping downtown.”

n WHAT: Morris Retail Association’s “Sweet

Night Out” n WHEN: 4 to 8 p.m. Feb. 11 n WHERE: Downtown Morris retailers n WHY: Enjoy sweet treats, beverages and celebrate Valentine’s Day early while searching for special savings.

Several stores already have Valentine’s Day-themed window arrangements, aimed at drawing customers inside and away from the cold to nibble or sip on something sweet while they shop.

“It’s always a good time,” Bradley said.

Once inside, a shopper may notice many downtown Morris stores have items not found in other downtown stores.

For example, Ruby Begonia’s recently received a new spring-themed shipment of 1803 Candles and expanded its offerings of FarmHouse Fresh lotions,

The Morris Retail Association invites residents to the downtown area for “Sweet Night Out” from 4 to 8 p.m. Feb. 11.

Bradley said. At the same time, stores such as True North, Whimsy, Pout Boutique and others offer exclusive items.

The result is a healthy competition that keeps downtown Morris vibrant

and part of a municipality that continues to draw statewide attention. In June 2015, Morris was named by NerdWallet. com as the 19th-best place in Illinois to start a business.

Souper Bowl continues food collection success 2016 Souper Bowl participants

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Since 2005, Peace Lutheran Church youth have raised about $8,500 and collected more than 5,000 food items and an additional 600 pounds of food to benefit We Care of Grundy County during its annual Souper Bowl of Caring event.

The program, which was started by youth pastor Todd Enger, has grown over the years to include a trivia night as well as a collection of food from the neighborhood surrounding Peace Lutheran.

We Care of Grundy County joined the movement in 2009 and has collected more than $40,000, 400 food items and 1,200 pounds of food, according to the Souper Bowl of Caring website.

“The Souper Bowl of Caring is a fun way to give,” We Care of Grundy County Executive Director Eric Fisher said. “It is especially important this year as we expand our services.”

Fisher said “soup bowls” have been placed at businesses throughout Grundy County to collect funds.

Each year, We Care presents the business with the highest donation amount a Souper Bowl trophy that it gets to keep until the next year when donations are counted again. The 2015 trophy winner was Dairy Queen in Morris, raising $661.

Fisher said Dairy Queen is fighting to hang on to the trophy for another year, which just adds more fun to the annual event.

OPINIONS

Why is Rauner droppin’ his G’s?

Every time Gov. Bruce Rauner gives a major speech, social media (and even mass media) lights him up over the way he drops his “g’s” at the end of words. He’s workin’ and doin’ his best and shakin’ up Springfield, or whatever.

Last year, after his first State of the State address, Illinois Public Radio even interviewed a language expert about whether he was doin’ this on purpose.

It does seem contrived. Rauner was educated at Ivy League schools, after all, and worked in some of the highest echelons in business. If you listen to any of his speeches in the years before he ran for governor, you’ll notice that he talked back then like an educated Midwesterner.

Anyway, Rauner asked me over to the executive mansion for a chat after last Wednesday’s State of the State address. He wanted me to come by so he and I could have it out after he said something false about me at a news conference. He held the presser to unveil an executive order consolidating information technology services into a single state agency. It was a noncontroversial announcement about a much-needed governmental upgrade.

I was actually kinda bored listening on the Internet until the governor was asked about some state revenue projections that he sent to legislators several months ago and shared with me earlier this month. Rauner’s own projections were based on what would happen if the governor got his economic agenda passed. The memo to legislators was designed to build support for (or at least, defend) his controversial pro-business agenda.

“The author of the Capitol Fax has his numbers way, way wrong and we will be discussin’ that in our budget address,” Rauner told reporters.

“I will also point out,” Rauner said, “that the author of that blog used to work for Speaker Madigan, so I don’t want to put too much credence in the commentary.”

What an absolute, total crock.

I was a House page for two or three weeks way back in 1985. My tenure may not have even been that long because the House wasn’t in session while I was a page, and I quit before they came back to town for a job on my college campus.

VIEWS Rich Miller I wish I could tell you what happened at my subsequent meeting with Rauner, but I can’t because it was completely off the record. As he told reporters, Rauner will be issuing revised projections. Total increased revenue and state and local government savings, he believes, are about $6 billion.

I can, however, tell you a story because I cleared it with the governor the next day. At one point during our discussion I decided to lighten the mood a little and asked him what the dealio was with all those dropped g’s, teasing him that he sounded like somebody attempting to imitate a hillbilly. That got a big laugh, particularly from Mrs. Rauner.

The governor said he now feels “free” to be himself since he was elected. Mrs. Rauner agreed that his public wardrobe has drastically deteriorated since election day.

Gov. Rauner told me he couldn’t talk like he wanted and wear what he wanted when he was a businessman because nobody would want to do business with him. At one point, he said, his business partners even asked him not to drive his lousy old car to company outings because it was an embarrassment to them.

Rauner said he was the only partner at his firm who didn’t own a private jet and fancy cars. He said he’s “proud” to still have the first tie he ever bought. So all of that video and audio of him speaking years ago was actually the contrived Rauner, the governor said. Now, he just wants to be himself, and that means droppin’ his g’s and doin’ other stuff like wearin’ the clothes he likes, not the clothes others expect him to don.

This does give us some insight into how the governor thinks. First, if you really get him angry, he will throw you under the bus with Madigan. And second, he will happily and unselfconsciously drop his g’s while he does it.

Morris Hospital nurse selected as December Fire Starter SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Joann Bradley of Coal City was selected as Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers’ Fire Starter of the Month for December. She has cared for thousands of patients as a medical/ surgical and intensive care nurse at Morris Hospital over the past 24 years and is described as a true patient advocate and role model who makes her co-workers feel at ease.

“Joann is one of the best clinical nurses I know,” said Cara Marco, manager of Morris Hospital’s 2 South nursing unit. “She is a true patient advocate and acts on patients’ behalf when they are unable to for themselves. That’s even more important than sound clinical skills, although she has those, too.”

Bradley began her career in the Purchasing Department at Morris Hospital but felt a calling to become a nurse. After eight years, she left her job and enrolled in the nursing program at Joliet Junior College. Three years later, in 1991, she returned to Morris Hospital and took her first nursing job on 2 South.

“Med/Surg is my love,” Bradley said. “I like the variety. I like that patients who come to Morris Hospital have a preference for South or East because they know the staff and feel a closeness and trust.”

That closeness and trust is evident when returning patients and family members seek out Bradley and greet her with hug.

“When family members see Joann, they know that their loved one is

going to be well taken care of,” said co-worker Susana Gonzalez. “She is always striving to do what is best for her patients, even in difficult situations.

She is confident and decisive and not afraid to speak her mind for the good of the patients.”

Bradley said she enjoys teaching patients and their families.

“Education is their best tool, and as their advocate, it’s my responsibility to teach as much as I can,” she said.

Beyond her role as a 2 South charge nurse, team leader and member of many hospital committees, Bradley was instrumental in starting an endof-life care program that helps provide comfort to patients and their families.

She was instrumental in raising funds for the Betty Sterritt nursing scholarship; and just the past summer, she helped plan a community health fair hosted at the hospital.

Through her many contributions, Bradley’s most rewarding moments always come back to direct patient care.

“It’s a privilege that patients let me into their lives at a vulnerable time, no matter what their illness,” Bradley said. “They let me help them. They introduce me to their families. It’s just a privilege to be part of their lives.”

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

As Fire Starter of the Month, Bradley received a Grundy County Chamber of Commerce gift certificate, a Morris Hospital logoed clothing item of her choice, a special “Fire Starter” lapel Photo provided pin, and a designated parking spot for Joann Bradley of Coal City was honored as the December Fire Starter of the Month for the month.

NEWARK – A garage sale in northern Illinois in January may seem a bit out of the ordinary – but not in Newark.

The Fern Dell Historic Association hosted on its annual Winter Treasures Garage Sale Friday and Saturday at the Newark American Legion.

The garage sale was open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. But 30 to 40 devoted shoppers sorted through the best selection as the door opened Friday, although the sale offered half-off prices Saturday.

“The real garage-salers want to get in on the first day,” said Fern Dell Historic Association Co-Treasurer Van Mathre.

Shoppers picked from clothing items $2 and less, bedding, children’s toys, holiday decorations, games, picture frames, books, glassware and more. All items were donated by area residents and anything not sold is passed on to those in need.

Cheri Stewart, secretary of the Newark American Legion, spotted a jean jacket and put it on immediately after buying it.

Morris poms earn second-place state trophy

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Since it began, the Morris pom squad has been the epitome of excellence.

The Redskins have won more than 30 state championships in various competitions and have been must-see viewing during halftime at basketball games.

They showed their mettle again over the weekend by finishing second in Class 1A at the IHSA Competitive Dance competition in Bloomington.

Highland took first with a score of 92.84, narrowly edging Morris’ score of 92.52.

What makes the Morris performance a bit more remarkable is that they did it with an entirely new routine and with a team that had seven new members on the 17-person squad.

What remained the same was the backbone of any successful program.

Hard work.

“These girls work hard all year, practicing at least 12 hours a week,” Morris coach Becky Bernardi said.

“Their drive, dedication and motivation are what made this team success-

traditional pom and hip hop, which has been done for several years.

“However, the first time we saw the girls perform our routine, we knew it was the right move. Having come out with a state runner-up trophy with a team trying something new for the first time and a team that is made up of seven new members out of 17 is a pretty amazing feat.”

Bernardi explained that even the most successful programs must change with the times, and the Morris pom squad was no exception to that rule.

“We had a really talented pool of new girls,” she said. “So we thought it would be a good time to change.

We have made it to state finals every year, but never got close enough to the top three, so we figured we needed to adapt and make a change.

“We’ve seen a lot more lyrical and jazz teams making it to state finals over some pretty talented hip hop and pom teams. As the IHSA has taken competitive dance as a sport, we’ve had to adjust in order to be successful.

We hope that placing in the top three is a new tradition that we can continue for the next several years.”

As Morris fell to 7-16 overall with the loss, it will not go down as one of the most successful on the court, barring a deep playoff run.

“Our record isn’t always great,” Bojovic said, “but what matters is we go out with hard work and dedication. …

We’re a really close team, and we’ve had a lot of fun together.”

It is a particularly special group to Carey because she was still the freshmen coach in 2012-13, when the current seniors entered high school.

MORRIS – Aside from the usual pregame introductions, each of the four Morris girls basketball seniors got a moment all their own during Friday’s senior-night game against Kaneland.

Three of those moments were remarkably similar. Kayla Cryder, Jessica Jurak and Alissa Bojovic each made a three-pointer during the hosts’ 52-36 loss.

Each of the baskets came in the fourth quarter and was the maker’s only field goal of the night.

Jurak was last to the party. She had missed her first four shots when she decided to take one last crack at the basket with 11 seconds left from well beyond the three-point line.

“All that was in my head was, we’re down 15 points. I didn’t even know the time, but I was like, ‘I’m putting it up no matter what happens.’ When it went in, it was like, ‘OK, I scored the last three of my last home game,’” Jurak said. “After we got back to the bench, Alissa Bojovic said, ‘Hey, all three seniors made a three tonight,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, I did it – right at the last second.’”

The fourth Morris senior, Rylee Harr, has recently been sidelined by a concussion. Yet she joined Bojovic, Cryder, Jurak and sophomore Mya Shannon in Friday’s starting lineup. Kaneland did not contest the opening tip-off, and after Morris recovered the ball, it purposely turned it over before Harr was removed from the game.

“The timing worked out that she was semi-cleared to do that,” Morris coach Kate Carey said. “Ernie Colombe from Kaneland was more than gracious to allow that and to have his girls set up and allow that to happen. We just appreciate that and we’re glad that she had that opportunity.”

This senior class is certainly not the largest in program history, nor is it the

The Illinois High School Association is proud of the fact they coined the phrase “March Madness” to describe its postseason basketball tournament.

However, that’s a bit of a misnomer, as a good part of postseason hardwood excitement will take part in February.

The seeds for Class 1A and Class 2A girls basketball regionals ad sectionals already are released, as are the assignments for Class 3A and 4A girls.

In Class 1A, both Newark and Gardner-South Wilmington are about begin in the Gardner-South Wilmington Regional, which feeds into the Serena Sectional.

In fact, the two local teams play each other at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 in Gardner. The winner of that game likely will have to get past the top sectional seed in undefeated Indian Creek in the regional championship game Thursday, Feb. 11. The Newark vs. G-SW matchup is an interesting one, especially given the health – or lack thereof – of the Lady Norse roster.

Six-foot-three-inch junior center Jasmine Mitchell sat out the Little Ten Conference Tournament, in which the Lady Norse finished third, with an injury and senior forward Kelsea Zitt had to leave a tournament game with an ankle injury.

Newark, which was 17-7 following the LTC Tournament, had some players come in off the bench to give solid performances in their stead, but prolonged absence from the duo will certainly be felt. Meanwhile, Gardner-South Wilmington continues to have a solid season in the River Valley Conference, having finished its conference slate with a 10-2 mark in league games, and seems to be peaking at the right time of the year.

Going up against a higher-seeded but undermanned Newark club might be just the mixture the Lady Panthers need to pull off the upset at home, especially since the gym at Gardner-South Wilmington is notoriously tough on opposing teams.

In Class 2A, Seneca will host a regional that feeds into the Byron Sectional. The seventh-seeded Lady Irish begin play Monday night against No. 8 Princeton at 6 before Aurora Christian takes on Putnam County at 7:30.

Those two winners will play Tuesday night, as the Seneca-Princeton winner will play top-seeded Spring Valley Hall at 6 and the Aurora Christian-Putnam County winner will play No. 4 St. Bede. The two Tuesday winners will square off Thursday at 7 for

Morris wrestlers take 2nd at NIB 12 frosh-soph meet STAFF REPORTS

MORRIS – The Morris frosh-soph and junior varsity wrestling teams competed at the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference Tournament. It was a productive day for both Morris teams, as the frosh-soph team finished second behind DeKalb and the JV team took fourth.

“This young group of kids did a great job all year long,” Morris head coach Jon Lanning said. “They took their lumps at the varsity level while getting better and learning, and I think that paid off for them. We wrestle in a very good conference and placing at our conference, whether at the varsity, frosh-soph or JV level is a big accomplishment for any wrestler.”

On the frosh-soph level, Zach Sater (120), Jacob Eisenbeis (132), Jacob Barkley (145), Jeffrey Johnson (160) and Colby Eshenbaum (220) were conference champions, while R.J. Roderick (195) and Tyler Petty (285) finished third. Kaleb Hefford (152) took fourth place, while Kole Fischer (106) was fifth and Trevor Togliatti (113) was sixth.

In the junior varsity meet, Michael Milton (113) took second place, as did Charlie Clark at 285.

Finishing in third place was Josh Skrapits at 170, while Abby Eisenbeis (106), Cole Heap-Moore (160) and Matt Claypool (285) were fourth. Andrew Wojcik finished fifth at 138 for the Redskins, with Aydin Hefford (145) and Jacob Hairald (285) earning sixth-place finishes.

Wilmington 34, Coal City 33: Coal City winners included Alex Friddle (113), Joey Rivera (120), Max Rowell (145), Brian Stopka (170), Alec Leasure (195), Riley Kauzlaric (220) and Brock Crawford (285).

JOLIET – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will & Grundy Counties Executive Director Mike Trafton said Miguel Luna, who owns Luna Boxing in Joliet, may not even realize how much good his club is doing.

Their partnership in Saturday night’s amateur boxing program at the Joliet Park District Multi-Purpose Center at Inwood is a natural.

“Those are all Joliet kids that he has,” Trafton said. “They are a really great group and are doing things the right way. They may not realize it, but he and his coaches are all like big brothers. They are expanding what we do in Big Brothers.

“They are going to split the proceeds with us. When they asked us if we want to be involved, we said, ‘Yes, for sure.’ ” Luna has six young boxers who compete in fights and scores of others who train at his facility but do not box competitively, at least not yet.

“We got involved with Mike actually through D’Arcy [Motors],” Luna said. “He was helping sponsor a fundraiser run for Mike’s mom, and our kids went and did their stuff.

“It was a 5A in the beginning of the summer at the stadium. Everyone was done running, and our kids just kept going. Mike said, ‘What do you want

me to do with them?’ That’s how I got to know him. He remembers my kids well because they didn’t stop. He told me then, ‘Believe it or not, you are big brothers with what you do.’ ” The program Saturday night will consist of 24 three-round bouts. Gates will open at 6 p.m., with the bouts scheduled to begin at 7. The donation is $15 at the door. Kids 12-under will be admitted for $5.

Luna Boxing will have its six boxers competing.

“These kids compete all through our state, in Wisconsin, in Iowa,” Luna said. “Two of them will fight for a Chicago team in Chicago against Dublin on Feb. 14. They won back in August against Dublin, but the Chicago team lost. They were so impressed that they wanted me to bring them back for the rematch.”

Luna said fighters from Wisconsin, Detroit, Cleveland, Elgin and other locations will compete Saturday, “The Golden Gloves are coming up, so everyone wants a tuneup,” Luna said. “This is our fourth program. We had two at the Spanish Center, one at the Hartman Center and now this one at Inwood.”

Luna said the program at Hartman Center drew between 300 and 400 people, and parking was an issue.

“That’s why we wanted to have it at Inwood,” he said. “We have the parking lot and a good facility.”

That’s it. The big one. The ultimate test of who will survive. It’s about getting merchandise to the checkout counter.

Many years ago I was sitting with a national sales manager for a major fishing manufacturer. We were in his office talking through the next season of shows we planned to film. He said, “Want to have fun?”

The next thing he did was reach for the phone on his desk and turn on the ringer. He turned the message machine on high so we could hear it.

The thing rang nonstop. The ensuing message might go like the following: Hey, this is Bob. I finished first at my local club tournament and was wondering if you would like to sponsor me.

Hoiberg blames chemistry for problems

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – It would be easy for Fred Hoiberg to offer up some coachspeak and take the blame.

After all, that’s what a first-year coach would often do.

Not Hoiberg.

Did he hide from the responsibility of his players saying that they lacked discipline? No, not at all. But he wasn’t going to take full accountability for what the players should be handling themselves, either. Following the embarrassing loss in Los Angeles on Sunday, both Jimmy Butler and Pau Gasol were very outspoken about a lack of discipline by players, especially when it came to the defensive end of the court.

Hoiberg talked about those comments on Monday, and thought a good remedy would be for players to first look in the mirror.

“Well, absolutely,” Hoiberg said, when asked whether it was time for the players to start wearing some of the accountability of their inconsistencies.

“Yeah. It’s on everybody. We watch a lot of film. We watch a lot of film going into these games, each coach is responsible

for a scouting report. You spend a lot of time and effort putting the game plan together and it’s very important to go out and do the things that you put together to try and win that game or give yourself the best chance to win that game.

“We’ve done it on multiple occasions this year, and we’ve had slippage in certain games. So yeah, you have to have that. It’s gotta be somewhere the guys can look each in the face and hold each other responsible and accountable when they’re not doing it on the floor, and be able to take that.”

Asked whether chemistry between the players has made that difficult, again Hoiberg was very honest.

“That’s part of it, especially with the things we’ve had with players in and out of the lineup,” Hoiberg said. “You talk about veterans, but we’ve also got a lot of new players who are playing in rotations for the first time in their careers.

So you’ve got that mix. Just when you think you’re hitting stride, you have a setback with somebody going out of the lineup. Then you have to insert somebody else that you hope fills the shoes.

We’ve had some of that. Is that an excuse? No. You have to go out there and do your job to the best of your abilities.”

The call was followed by another one, and another, and another. It was mind-blowing. That is what future pros are up against. The sheer number of people looking for sponsorship is overwhelming, and most of them are focused on one thing – themselves.

That is the wrong approach.

A future pro needs to know what they can do to help the company they are interested in. Show them how you can add more dollars to their bottom line, and I promise you will get their attention. But be realistic.

Do not inflate what you can do. The decision makers at the companies you are pitching are experts at sniffing out false statements.

They would rather hear from someone who understands their own reach and impact than grandiose ideas that are not met.

All you want is a foot in the door.

Once that is done, you can impress them as a hard worker and a person who lives up to their end of the deal.

This, and only this, is how dream deals are made. I took a long time to get the “free boat” deal everyone dreams about, but I did it. And believe

me, when I drove down to the boat factory and hooked up the two-inch hitch to a free, fully rigged boat, I was thankful. But I had put in years of work to get there.

The other important thing a future pro angler can do, is think outside the industry. The fishing world is small.

Very small. Their budgets are limited and as I mentioned earlier, they are hounded by sponsorship seekers daily.

Find those companies that are not pursued by anglers. Show them how you can sell their product and your odds go way up. Our largest cash sponsor for our television show was not fishing related at all. In fact, it was a pet food company. How much was it?

Let’s just say that one deal was enough to keep us afloat that year.

If you’re dreaming of becoming a pro angler, I say go for it. It takes a lot of work and you need to put the sponsor first. Understand how you can sell their product, be OK with starting small, and someday you may pull a boat to the office.

The interest in professional fishing has never been higher. The impact can now be seen at both the high school and collegiate level. Schools around the nation have started bass fishing clubs and put together tournament schedules on the best lakes in the country.

The romance for the sport is real.

Young anglers dream of the possibilities. They yearn to shed a future in a cubicle for the open water. Imagine, pulling the boat to the lake every day for a living. Like everything in life, there is more than what we see at the surface.

I am not one to crush dreams. In fact, I try to support them. I love to help people in whatever they choose to do, but it is best to approach a dream job with the full truth behind it. I think I can help since I have worked in the sport long enough to have tips future pros could use.

Aspiring pro anglers need to understand professional fishing has little to do with catching fish.

Yes, you need to be competitive so you can fish higher-profile circuits.

Free-flying wings

Super Bowl favorite keeps the crisp, loses the hard work

C

The WASHINGTON POST

ome Super Bowl Sunday, we all love a heaping platter of wings. They’ve got to be crunchy. They’ve got to be a little bit greasy. They’ve got to be so delicious we can’t stop eating even after we know we’ve eaten too many.

What we don’t love about the day of the big game? The work involved in making those wings a reality. Because perfectly crisped and seasoned wings typically require a fair amount of effort, not to mention vats of hot oil.

And dealing with that is so much less fun that cracking a beer on the couch with your friends.

So we created these hands-off chicken wings that require almost no effort from you. Yet, they are every bit as crispy and addictive as a traditional recipe.

The secret is baking powder. You start the recipe a few hours ahead of when you want to serve the wings. Just toss the wings in a large bowl with some salt, pepper and baking powder, then refrigerate them for a while.

The baking powder reacts with the skin, helping to draw out moisture. Less moisture equals more crisp.

When it’s time to cook, you just arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. The rack keeps the air circulating around the wings and keeps them up and out of any liquid that drips onto the pan.

Again, less liquid is key to getting the skin perfectly crisp. When the wings are done, we like to dunk them first in our honey-Sriracha sauce, then in our cilantro-sour cream dip.
