The $2 bracelets will help raise money for Tamara Watkins' family and will provide moral support for her two sons, who attend Plainfield North High School.
Red wristbands are being sold to raise money for Tamara Watkins, the Plainfield woman seriously injured when her SUV was struck by an alleged drunk driver nearly four weeks ago. Over the last two days they’ve sold more than 400 at Plainfield North High School, which Watkins’ two sons attend, and that they hope to sell more at the Plainfield Hockey Club game being played Saturday at Canlan Ice Sports in Romeoville, co-organizer Patty Meyer said. The $2 silicone bracelets – engraved with “Tomorrow for Tamara” – are also being sold at RoSal’s Pizza, 13717 S. U.S. 30, and will continue to be sold at PNHS by the Interact and French clubs. Meyer said the money raised will help the family as Watkins, 40, recovers from serious head injuries and …

In the wake of a post-basketball game "near-riot" that attracted 300 students, officials plan to send letter home to parents and to hold programs to help educate students.
Plainfield police and school district officials met Wednesday to work on a plan that might forestall another near-riot situation like the one that broke out at McDonald’s Tuesday night following a Plainfield North-Plainfield East high school basketball game. The first course of action will be to send a letter home to the parents of all high school students, Plainfield School District 202 spokesman Tom Hernandez said. “High school rivalries are not a bad thing, but they have their place,” Hernandez said. “Our primary concern is student safety and community safety, and that many people in one location is not safe. We have to make sure our students are safe, and that extends to after-school events, which we see as an extension of the school …

Police estimate that nearly 300 students filled the restaurant and parking lot Tuesday night in a clash that led to two arrests.
More than 300 high school students created a "near riot situation" at a Route 59 McDonald's Tuesday night following a rivalry basketball game between Plainfield East and Plainfield North. Plainfield Sgt. Mike Fisher described an out-of-control scene in which chanting students were packed shoulder-to-shoulder inside the restaurant at 12501 S. Route 59, just north of 127th Street, and took over the adjoining parking lot. "If I had to give a rough guesstimate, I'd say there were at least 150 kids inside," Fisher said. "I couldn't get through to get to the crowd without having to push people aside." Police took two Plainfield North students into custody on charges of disorderly conduct, which prompted the crowd to break up, he said. One …

The police department's new simulator offers a realistic imitation of just how dangerous it is to call or text while driving.
It didn't take long for Plainfield North High School sophomore Portia Johnson to realize that multi-tasking while driving is not only difficult but quite dangerous. She found herself in an awkward position of using her elbows to control the steering wheel and her hands to hold her cell phone. While steering, she tried sending a text message while paying attention to the street in front of her. Within minutes, Portia had run off the road and crashed into a grassy field. Thankfully, Portia wasn't behind a real car wheel but using a driving simulator. The accident took place on a computer screen, not an actual street. “It was hard,” the 16-year-old said. “You are paying attention to the text, not the computer. In real life, this teaches you …

Cougars beat Tigers 27-7 thanks to Dantrell Wright's 16 carries for 174 yards and three TDs; no playoff berth for Plainfield North.
Paybacks aren’t pretty. Plainfield South High School earned vindication and a playoff spot by beating Plainfield North 27-7 during the regular-season finale for both teams Friday at South. A year ago, host Plainfield North beat Plainfield South to keep the Cougars from a 9-0 season and undefeated conference championship. This time around, the Cougars improved to 5-4 and put themselves in position to qualify for the state playoffs with 40 playoff points. Last year, the cutoff to qualify for the playoffs was 39 points, which was the highest total since the state went to eight classes. Playoff points equal opponents wins. Pairings will be released by the Illinois High School Association Saturday night. “I don’t know,” Plainfield South coach …

Beware of those dollar store kits Sheila. Very inconsistent, and their cutoff levels are high. They might only detect a full blown heroin user. Make sure your product is FDA approved for OTC sales. There's only 3 or 4 brands. more ›
