Up on the roof to help Special Olympians Police project part of fundraising drive By Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT
In 1962 Eunice Kennedy Shriver had a vision of providing opportunities for those with intellectual disabilities, specifically the opportunity to participate in sporting events. That year, she started Camp Shriver, which experienced growth. Six years later, Chicago hosted the first International Special Olympics, and has grown worldwide since 1968. Citing Shriver’s vision, it led to the creation of Special Olympics International, which serves more than 4 million people with intellectual disabilities in at least 170 countries. As the organization grew, law enforcement joined together in support of the Special Olympics, which receives help from police departments through a variety of fundraisers. The Antioch Police Department is one of those departments, and on May 19, motorists expect to see officers on the roof of Dunkin Donuts at 442 Orchard St. in downtown Antioch. Conveniently located across the street from the Antioch Police Department, Dunkin Donuts has partnered with the law enforcement agency by allowing officers to sit atop their roof. Cop an a Roof The Cop on the Roof program, which brings in proceeds, gives volunteer officers an opportunity to help the Special Olympics.
Each officer climbs on the roof, where they shout at people passing by, encouraging them to donate by lowering a pail for contributions. Annually, like other years, those who donate expect to receive a coupon for a free doughnut, according to Dunkin Donuts manager Shona Bardecki. While one volunteer officer is stationed on the roof to attract donors, other police volunteers will be seen on the sidewalk in front of Dunkin Donuts to accept donations. The police officers who are volunteering on their non-work time will be present on May 19, starting at 5 am and continuing to encourage people to donate to Special Olympics until approximately 2 pm.

PM&L Theatre presents “To Kill a ToMockingbird” Kill a Mockingbird, adapted by
Christopher Sergel from the Pulitzer Prize winning book by Harper Lee, opens on Friday, May 19, and will run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for three weekends, closing on June 4, at PM&L Theatre, 877 Main St., Antioch. To Kill a Mockingbird is directed by Donna Abear, of Antioch, whose recent PM&L directing credits include The Boys Next Door and The Rocky Horror Show. The unforgettable characters and events from Harper Lee’s beloved classic novel come to vibrant life in this powerful and moving PM&L Theatre production. While the Finch children – Scout (Raina Thiegs, Crystal Lake) and Jem (Matthew Savas, Crystal Lake), along with their friend, Dill (Toby Jaros, Lake Villa) – discover compassion for their mysterious and misunderstood neighbor Boo Radley (Matthew Craig, Antioch), their idyllic childhood is shattered by prejudice, bigotry and violence when their widowed father Atticus Finch (Jim Olson, Pleasant Prairie, Wis.) – a lawyer of courage and integrity – is asked to defend a young black man – Tom Robinson (Brad Johnson, Gurnee) falsely accused of raping a white woman in Depression-era Alabama. This timeless story, told through the eyes of a child, presents both social injustice and compassionate heroism in situations that resonate powerfully in today’s headlines. To Kill a Mockingbird will run Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; and Sundays, at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and students.
