Food for Less closing early voting extended for in Bolingbrook The store will be continuing normal hours 6 a.m. to midnight, through Nov. 8 By Laura katauskas sTaff REpoRTER
katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas
Affordable prices or not, after years of being a staple in Bolingbrook, Food for Less will be closing its doors for good come Nov. 8. Citing low sales, the parent company, Kroger, is opting to close the store at 271 S. Bolingbrook Drive. “While we never take the decision to close a store lightly, this location has been significantly underperforming for quite some time and we made the difficult decision to close it,” said Kendra Doyel, a representative for Kroger. “We will work to transfer all of
the associates at this location to alternate locations.” “We’ll be okay—we will all be transferring to different stores based on where we live,” said one upbeat employee. “They are working with us.” The store will be continuing normal hours 6 a.m. to midnight, through Nov. 8. “There always seems to be a fair deal of customers, and don’t even try to go there on a weekend, it is jam packed,” said one regular customer. “I was very sad when the cashier told me today. I’ve seen these cashiers for years, and they are generally very friendly. They had good priced deli meats, their produce had gotten better. Plus, I like Kroger brands... where will I get them now?” Wal-Mart and Aldi stores are located within a block of the Food For Less store on Route 53. The nearest Food for Less store is located at 1701 N. Larkin in Crest Hill. The Elk Grove Village location also listed to be closed on the same day.

general election vote Bolingbrook Town Center now permanent polling place open to all Will County voters By Laura katauskas sTaff REpoRTER
katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas
Changes to early voting procedures due to a bill introduced by the House of Representatives now makes the Bolingbrook Town Center a permanent polling place, open to all Will County voters with extended hours. House Bill 105 allows voters to register on Election Day and extends in-person early voting hours. It also removes photo identification requirements for in-person early voting and allows public universities to make a campus location available for Election Day inperson absentee voting. The move is expected to increase voter turnout. According to Bolingbrook Village Clerk Carol Penning, anyone registered to vote is
able to do so at the Town Center location at 375 W. Briarcliff Road. “We are working with the local officials and the township to accommodate everyone,” said Penning, noting the expanded hours as compared to previous years. Early Voting is available to any registered voter in Will County. State law requires that a registered voter show valid photo identification before voting early. Voters casting an early ballot must display a current driver’s license, a state-issued ID card or another government-issued ID with a photograph. However, due to HB105 for the Nov. 4 General Election only, votes need not present a photo ID as along as their signature matches that on their voter registration record. Hours from Monday Oct. 27 through Nov. 2 are from 8:30

Interstate 55 and Weber Road improvement on task The state of Illinois and Will County are sharing the cost of the project

Calling it the single most important investment in Illinois, Governor Pat Quinn met local officials on site at Interstate 55 and Weber Road, announcing the $69.2 million project is moving forward with the first bids for the project expected by the month’s end. “Will County is the fastest growing county in Illinois and this region has affordable housing, hard-working people and we want to make sure transportation is available to everyone in a way that doesn’t cause congestion or lack of safety. We know this is really an important investment,” Quinn told the crowd Monday, Oct. 27. The state of Illinois and Will County are sharing the cost of the project, with the state’s share coming from Quinn’s Illinois Jobs Now! capital construction program. The total cost will be $69.2 million, of which the state will pay $32.7 million and Will County $36.5 million. Will County will use their portion of the regional RTA tax plus any additional federal funds that can be secured to fund their share of the project. The stretch of I-55 through Romeoville is the busiest in Will County and the Weber Road interchange currently serves more than 40,000 vehicles per day. “This will be a major improvement for Romeoville and the surrounding areas,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak. “Not only will this provide the desperate need for relief for our motorists, it will continue to help keep pace with our economic development, attracting more business and additional jobs.” Deputy Director of Highways John Fortmann, P.E., said the project will include widening Weber Road to six lanes between 119th and 135th streets and the

building of a new “diverging diamond” interchange with Interstate 55 that will allow motorists faster access to and from the interstate. The “diverging diamond” concept is relatively new with this interchange being Illinois’ fourth project. Fortmann said the concept was first used in Missouri with good results. The diverging diamond is expected to create a safer way to move traffic flow more freely, basically eliminating left-hand turns which are the most common cause of an accident. Quinn emphasized the need for the project on all fronts, acknowledging that while the project has been long in the making, the time is now to deliver. “We know that our motorists and those that deliver goods want this job done as quickly as possible and that’s what this is all about working together,…said Quinn. “We know that transportation is the key to growth in the Illinois economy. It’s planes, with the new south suburban airport; It’s trains, making sure our passenger and freight rail are being invested in; and it’s also automobiles and trucks, so we understand how important it is to our economy to make these investments.” Senator Pat McGuire said there were two chief reasons that this project is moving. “One is here in Will County we work together. The State of Illinois, the county, the municipalities of Bolingbrook and Romeoville, have worked together to make this project a reality. Second, Gov. Pat Quinn continues to invest in Will County,” said McGuire. “Will County is an economic powerhouse. We need to have improved transportation. Will County is going to grow stronger
and the people of Will County are going to achieve a better quality of life thanks to our governor.” As did Will County Executive Larry Walsh, “Working together we have the necessary funding and will do what will be a state of the art project that is going to catapult us into the 21st century with the ease of getting through this area and most importantly, safety. The safety of a brand new interchange that our people deserve. “ In September the first construction bids were let in with contracts to be awarded by the end of October. The initial work, estimated to cost approximately $250,000, will include grading within the existing Interstate 55 right-of-way to prepare the site for the entrance and exit ramp work to come next year. In the meantime, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will continue to work with Will County to secure the rightof-way necessary to construct the Weber Road improvements. The main construction contracts are tentatively scheduled to be awarded next summer. “Will County is one of the fastest growing counties in the nation,” State Senator Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant (D-Shorewood) said. “We need roadways that can keep up with population growth and handle increased traffic so that residents and commuters are able to travel safely. This project will help us accomplish that.” Quinn earlier this year signed legislation to ensure that the Interstate 55/Weber Road interchange project can proceed. Senate Bill 1219 allows the Weber Road Interchange project to proceed whether or not certain state property is sold to help finance it. Previous legislation tied the Weber Road project to the sale of 200 acres of surplus Illinois Department of Corrections land in Will County. The state is holding onto the surplus land until property values in the area rise and a better sale price can be obtained. However, state officials did not want this land sale delay to hold up the Weber Road Interchange project. The bill passed unanimously in both houses of the General Assembly.

New apartment complex to come near Promenade By Laura Katauskas staff reporter
katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas
A 288-unit high-end apartment community is being proposed for a development near the Promenade. The Bolingbrook Village Board granted a special-use permit for the Tapestry Promenade, a planned residential at the southwest corner of Janes Avenue and Falconridge Way. The proposed site is approximately 21 acres and is excess land from Hubert Humphrey Middle School, which is zoned as single-family residential and is currently vacant. Lennar Multifamily Communities, LLC is proposing a development consisting of nine residential apartment buildings, each consisting of three stories with 32 units per building, in
addition to a clubhouse and 10 detached garage buildings. Jonathan Kubow, Lennar Multifamily Communities, LLC, reported that the average rent would be more than $1,500 per month, the community would not be age-targeted, and that the first floor garages would be offered to any residents on the site. A large retention pond, significant landscaping, public sidewalks, pool, clubhouse, open lawn space and a small shelter structure are all part of the plans. The main entrance would be off of Janes Avenue. According to the plan commission report, both the Bolingbrook Park District and the Valley View School District have had the opportunity to review the development proposal and both have asked for cash-in-lieu of donation of land.

6 Will County lawyers running for judge The system changed significantly when the subcircuit designation was added By Stewart Warren staff reporter
stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren
There are three open seats on the Will County bench. Now it’s time to pick new judges. The rules of Illinois’ judicial code of conduct forbid these candidates from making statements about particular cases or issues while running for office. So they can only say so much while campaigning, and that makes choosing them just a little more difficult. A primer is helpful when
considering the Will County’s judiciary because the organization of the system can be confusing. There are three different types of judges: associate, subcircuit and circuit. The voters elect the circuit and subcircuit judges. The associate judges are chosen by the circuit and subcircuit judges. The system changed significantly when the subcircuit designation was added. Until then, there were just circuit judges and associate judges, and voters from all over the county elected the circuits. In 2005, then-Gov. Rob Blagojevich signed a bill dividing

Once the circuit and subcircuit judges are elected, they run the next time around without opposition for retention. So there will be seven other names on the Nov. 4 ballot: Judge Amy M.

Vote for someone who will make a difference It is very important that as many registered people as possible vote their choice in the coming election EDITORIAL
It is very important that as many registered people as possible vote their choice in the coming election. In our municipality, county, state, and federal elections caution needs to be taken to vote for people that can and will make a difference, not just a politician who will just keep a seat warm and vote with the other politicians and fail to resolve the ALEX HERNANDEZ • LAURA KATAUSKAS STEWART WARREN • MARK GREGORY • MIKE SANDROLINI
problems. There are serious areas of concern. Many of these concerns need the knowledge and skill of a businessman/ woman to act and correct the issues. Economic policies, jobs, pension, tort and tax reform, immigration reform and business creation need the skills of a person with a business background, not only to understand
the problem, but to be able to act on them in a positive manner which may not be popular. We need to concentrate on the talents and needed experience that those we vote for bring to the table vs. their special interest and/or political connections. We have the ability to help foster positive change. We can start that process by thoughtful voting. Mark Turk Joliet

Witch way? The right way. And then there were 1,000 wanna-be witches who converged on the 1873 Renaissance/Victorian Jacob Henry Mansion Estate in Joliet Oct. 23. The night scene was surreal as witches in every conceivable costume, hat, mask, cape, netted stockings and even brooms hung out for an evening of bewitching called Witches’ Night Out. Witches’ Night Out began five years ago as a costume fundraiser for local agencies helping women in need. Over 600 witches showed up and the event raised $14,000. That’s when the all-volunteer allwomen committee knew they had picked a winning charity event. This year, the goal was to raise $30,000 for Lamb’s Fold Center, Guardian Angel Community Services and Stepping Stones. Co-chairs Kathy Mihelich and Judy Irwin were overwhelmed by the popularity of the costumed night out. Over 1,000 tickets were easily bought up. Shrieks of laughter, no two

Witches wait for their chance to get into the fun at the Jacob Henry Mansion. costumes alike and great fun make this a very special event women can’t wait to come to. Food bars, specialty drinks bars, raffled baskets worth between $250 and $500, and donated gift cards from just about every restaurant in and around Joliet, were a hit. Outdoors there were fire pits scattered around the grounds, hot apple cider (spiked or not) and rocking chairs on the porch of the annex for witches to plot their next coven meeting. The scene of witches in tall bouncing hats dancing to the pounding music provided Sound Encounter DJ Larry Divizio was not to be missed. Think kinda scary but kinda funny. The witches had the moves. Over 35 women entrepreneurs set
up shop in the annex building selling craft bazaar items such as handmade witch dolls, vintage jewelry, handmade soaps, oracle cards and crystals, witches night out shirts, unique clothing and accessories. Tarot card readings were very popular also held in the Mansion, and there were plenty of homemade cookies, candies, popcorn and marshmallow caramel bombs. The Mansion was the perfect place to decorate for Halloween. Subdued lighting, high ceilings, old-fashioned décor and many charmed rooms added to the atmosphere of witches hanging out. The only males allowed for Witches Night Out were those serving drinks, food or cleaning tables. What a night!

CenterPoint facility will focus on exporting goods Officials estimate some 30,000 trucks will be going in and out of the facility each year By nick reiher
managing editor
nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews
Two CenterPoint truck-train intermodal yards in Elwood and Joliet have helped Will County to become the largest inland port in North America. But that has been predominantly as an importer of manufactured goods from China and the rest of the world, said John Greuling, president and CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development. Until now. Neovia Logistics Services on Oct. 21 celebrated the opening of its 406,000-square-foot facility in Joliet’s Union Pacific intermodal yard. Officials estimate some 30,000 trucks will be going in and out of the facility each year with shipments of machine parts. While local and regional agricultural goods have been big exports from the Will County intermodals in the past few years, Greuling said this is really the first local distribution center to export manufactured goods. “That’s the big news here,” Greuling said. “As we try to draw more manufacturing jobs to this
area, this project throws out stake in the ground. And it shows other manufacturers in the Midwest we are trying to attract what we are doing.” Michael Murphy, CenterPoint Chief Development Officer, welcomed the community leaders who came out to the celebration at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, just across the way from the UP yard where Neovia calls home. He and Bill Gordon, Neovia Division Vice President, congratulated the workers who got the project done on time and under budget through one of the worst winters to hit the area in years. Gordon said the new facility will allow them to ship manufactured goods to the West Coast and on to Asia, Australia, Europe and South America. “This is a new type of venue for us,” said Gordon. “This will help open Illinois to more international markets.” Will County Executive LarryWalsh and Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante thanked Neovia for building in Joliet. The mayor noted CenterPoint’s original $2 billion investment into the local intermodals yards “just keeps growing. … I’d like to have one of these (projects) every week.” Walsh said he is amazed at the transformation of the area he grew up in from farmland to the intermodals … and what he called one of the finest autobahns around.

Substance abuse forum experts urge parents, community to help kids Experts: Kids need parents to help them make wise decisions Parents and community members need to work together to combat an “alarming” rise in prescription drug and heroin abuse among teens in the Chicago suburbs. That’s what several experts told attendees at Thursday night’s Valley View School District 365U community forum on substance. “We have learned that education is a powerful tool in battling heroin,” said Anastasia Tuskey, Communications Director for Will County Executive Larry Walsh. “Our kids are smart and it is up to all of us to give them the information they need to make wise decisions.” “Ninety percent of abuses start in the teen years and fifty percent can be prevented by talking with your child,” said Mark Robinson of the Robert Crown Center for Health, the organization that, with cooperation from Walsh’s office, will help the Valley View School District launch a heroin and drug abuse prevention initiative in eighth grade health this winter. Robinson and Laura Carstons, also from Robert Crown, detailed the initiative which includes an in-depth look at how drugs affect the adolescent brain as well as an interactive case study based on the life of an actual addict.
Both experts indicated most addictions start in the medicine cabinet. “Kids fear needles. They don’t fear pills,” Robinson said. “There is a perception that if it’s prescribed by a doctor, it’s safe.” “The trend these days is for doctors to oversubscribe to control pain,” Carstons added, pointing out that leftover opioid pain pills like Vicodin, Oxycontin and Tylenol 3 should be disposed of properly rather than leaving them in the medicine cabinet. The fact is, Robinson said, opioid pain relievers are responsible for more overdose deaths than cocaine and heroin combined. But many opioid pill users move on to heroin because heroin is relatively inexpensive these days and easily found throughout the Chicago area. Eight out of ten heroin users abused opioid pain pills first. “Tolerance for a drug builds and it drives a person to use the drug more compulsively even if it hurts them or someone they care about,” Robinson said. “It’s not that the person doesn’t know it’s harmful to them. They simply can’t quit even if they wanted to.” “We are very proud that Valley View School District will be offering this important education to your children and helping you begin conversations with them about the dangers of heroin,” Tuskey said. “Parents are a critical part of this battle.”

Upset Special No. 12 Raiders rebound to knock off No. 5 seed Plainfield South
by scott taylor spoRTs EdIToR
staylor@enterprisepublications.com @taylor_Sports
Facing a deficit was no big deal for Bolingbrook. Trailing 1-0 in the first half of a regional semifinal game with No. 5 seed Plainfield South, No. 12 seed Bolingbrook didn’t panic. The Raiders rallied to tie the game late in the first half and went on to win in penalty kicks for a 2-1 victory Oct. 21. “This wasn’t the first time we were down,” Bolingbrook senior Kofi Intsifui said. “Last game we were down and came back strong. We always try to find a way to win.” “The last week or so we’ve been fighting back every game,” Bolingbrook coach Jamie Clemmons said. “We were down 2-0 to Lincoln-Way Central and came back and won. We knew we could come back. I think the momentum swung a little bit when we scored the goal.” The win moved the Raiders (17-4-3) to the regional

championship Friday, where they lost to Naperville North 3-0. Bolingbrook fell behind Plainfield South 11 minutes into the game, but answered later in the half when Jorge Navas sent a ball into the box and Erick Gonzalez was able to find the back of the net. “I had confidence in my team that we would come back,” Bolingbrook goalie Brandon Murillo said. “We always come back. We wanted it more than the other team, so we just had to play our game.” “I just remembered last year and we lost the first round of the playoffs and were sad,” Intsifui said. “I didn’t want to feel the same way again, so we had to take the win.” Thanks to some big saves by Murillo and an offsides penalty negating a goal, the score remained the same at the end of regulation, forcing two 10-minute overtimes. Both goalies made big saves in

In PKs, both teams went 4-for5 with one miss, setting up sudden death PKs. The Cougars opened with a miss and Intsifui found the back of the netting, clinching the victory for the Raiders. “Coach just told me to put it on net so that was what I was trying to do,” Intsifui said. “We practice penalties in practice all the time so I just did what I normally do.” “Kofi really stepped up,” Clemmons said. “He had the tying and winning goal against Lincoln-Way Central and he comes out tonight and gets
the winning PK. He told me he wanted to take the next one so I put him in. I’m so proud of the kid. He has worked his way into the lineup and has earned everything he has gotten.” The win tied a record for wins in a season for the program. “Our team came out with the win and I’m happy,” Murillo said. “I’m glad I’m able to be with these guys and I can’t be more blessed than I am right now.” Bolingbrook had some added motivation during the game after getting stuck with the 12 seed, despite such a strong record. The Raiders were the lone team from the SWSC that was sent to the Neuqua Valley Sectional. They beat several of the top teams in the Sandburg Sectional.
“It’s big to the people of Bolingbrook, to the program and to us,” Murillo said of the win. “It is a shame we were the 12 seed, but we came out on the field and showed them we should be (better). I feel that we should have been higher.” “I think we were a little angry with getting the 12 seed and they are playing with a chip on their shoulders,” Clemmons said. “We wanted to let people know that we were a little better than a 12 seed. “It is a very good sectional,” Clemmons said. “Several teams we have beaten were two, three and four seeds in the other sectional. We wanted to win this one to give ourselves a chance at winning the most games in school history.”

8A PLAYOFFS:
BOLINGBROOK @ BLOOM The details: Bolingbrook (6-3) heads into the playoffs on a high note after a 41-0 whitewash of Sandburg last week. Running back Isaac Lane ran for 275 yards on 20 carries and four touchdowns offensively, while the defense recorded seven sacks of Eagle signal callers. Quarterback Adam Klein hit on 6 of his 10 pass attempts for 80 yards. He also kicked a pair of field goals (27, 40) and five extra points. Bloom comes into the playoffs with a 7-2 record, sure one game better than Bolingbrook on paper. But that same sheet of paper
shows that Bloom’s opponents have a combined record of 3843 and that it has only two wins over teams with winning records. Those being a 33-24 win over Kankakee (5-4) and an 8-7 win over 6-3 Crete-Monee. Keys to the game: Bolingbrook has to control the clock and control possessions. If Lane can run like he did against Sandburg, not only will that give the Raiders a solid running attack, but it will also allow the normal defensive players to focus on the defensive side of the football and not play both ways. The other thing the Raiders need to focus on is making sure they are ready for the 1 p.m. start.
game time 1 p.m. Saturday Bolingbrook is a Friday night team and always has been. There have been day games where the Raiders have come out of the gate sluggish. They can’t give Bloom any hope in front of their home fans in this one. The Raiders need to come out of the gate and not let the Trojans know what hit them. -compiled by Mark Gregory

cross country
Valley View to be well represented at sectional Entire Raider girls team, two guys advance out of Lockport Regional The regional cross country meet was a success across the board for both Romeoville and Bolingbrook runners. On the boys side, the Romeoville team advanced to the sectional level, while Bolingbrook will send a pair of runners through. The Raiders’ Jonathan Cook was the first Valley View runner through the chute, placing fourth overall in the race in 16 minutes, 35 seconds. “I tried to stay with the front pack as long as I could and I did that,” Cook said. “(Peter Johnsrud, the race winner from Oswego) pulled away right around the mile marker up the first hill but then I still stayed up there.” Cook said the hills on the course helped separate the lead runners from the rest of the pack. “The first hill I pulled away
from people and it helped me throughout the race, the second hill not so much,” Cook said. “But my goal was just to qualify for sectional. I am trying to make state next week, so this tough race here just gets me prepared for that.” Cook will be joined by teammate Bjorn Shroda, who was 23rd in 17:42. “It was really tough with the hills,” he said of the course. “There is a gravel hill on the last mile that is hard to even walk up it. We went out really hard and that helped us the whole race. I was really happy to make it out, this was the goal. I have some things to improve on, but now I have another week to work on that.”

Bjorn Shrodao is one of two Bolingbrook guys to advance to sectional.
For Romeoville, the team earned the final spot out of the regional, placing sixth with 165 points, just edging Bolingbrook for that spot. Leading the way for the Spartans was Justin Suits, who finished in 28th in 17:32. “I thought I did really good,” he said. “I gave my best and went out hard. We knew we had to try and beat Bolingbrook to advance.” He was followed by Luis Loza (32nd, 17:35), Mike Samuelson (34th, 17:43), Ian Irvine (35th, 17:43) and Matt Bush (36th, 17:45). “It was a tough race, I think the hill killed everyone, but I pushed through it,” Loza said. “The mindset was to beat Lockport, Bolingbrook and Plainfield East.” Carlos Ibanez and Carlos Andrews also competed, but did not score. On the girls side, it was Bolingbrook who is sending the full team to the sectional, however, Romeoville will still be represented in the race. Spartan senior Viviana Diaz placed 33rd in 19:35. Although a senior, this is her first year running cross country. “I have always liked running and I tried track last year and liked it and so I ran cross country this year,” Diaz said. “It was

painful and my legs hurt, but I kept telling myself I was getting closer and my legs would forgive me. I just wanted to do my best because I knew it could be my last race.” Freshman Aguamarina Sanchez Mora was second through the chute for the Spartans and while she didn’t qualify, she has the experience for next year. “I am glad I ran as a freshman and got to see how it is,” she said. For the Raiders, the team placed sixth, claiming the final position for an automatic advancement. Arianna Amil was 12th overall in 20:05. “I was really hoping to be in the top five for a medal, but I think overall the team did really well,” she said. “I didn’t want to go out too fast and get tired.” Trianna Rodriguez was 20th in 20:31 and knew she had a little more in her that the hills may have taken away. “I was trying to push through because hills are my worst,” she said. “I could have done more, I just could have done better.” Also scoring for the Spartans were Marissa Caputo (24th, 20:36), Andrea Mercado (39th, 21:35) and Yulissa Izaguirre (44th, 22:03). Natalia Hernandez and Cassandra Cerpa competed but did not score.

Bolingbrook resident Nick Johnsen (28) blocks the Illini goalie in the Flyers’ win.
Friday night found the Flyers falling behind early on a strong first period goal by the Illini. The Flyers responded late in the first to even the score at 1 on a power play goal from freshman Jason Pischke assisted by Nick Johnsen and Brendan Bednarz. Lewis fights off an early 2nd period power play from U of I and puts up an even strength Flyer goal from Pat Gill assisted by Craig Tomassi and Kevin Hart to give Lewis a 2-1 lead. The Flyers out shot the Illini 12-8 in the 3rd period for a 2-2 tie at the end of regulation. With a 1:41 into overtime Tomassi lays a monster hit on the Illini which caused a game changing turnover. Bednarz jumped on the lose puck, passed to a wide open Pat Gill who buries it deep in the Illini net for the game winner and his second goal of the game. Flyers goaltender, Austin Julvezan recorded another win with 33 saves in a 3-2 overtime win. Saturday night had both teams come with big hits and aggressive play as Lewis fought to extend their record to 10 straight wins. Lewis gets on the board first from a Tomassi goal assisted from Trevor Neenan and Kevin Riedy. With the score tied at 1 all, U of I comes out early in the second period and takes a 1 goal lead.
Illinois was unable to maintain the lead as Bednarz gets his first goal of the series on a breakaway to put the Flyers back even at 2. Lewis scored the go ahead goal from Johnsen on a redirect from Jason Pischke and Bednarz to make it 3-2 Flyers. Illinois responds making the game even at 3 late in the second period. With six minutes left in the regulation play the game winner comes off the stick of Pischke on a pass from Johnsen. Lewis held on for the 4-3 win and sees their winning streak extended to 10 games with a season record of 102-0. Cason Kirkpatrick picks up his 4th win of the season. The Flyers begin a 6 game road trip as they face Eastern Illinois University this weekend in Danville.
SOCCER The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced on Oct. 27 that Lewis University junior forward Robert Zieba (Lockport, Ill./Lockport) was named the GLVC Men’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for the period ending October 26th. Zieba scored goals for Lewis in wins over both Saint Joseph’s (30) and Indianapolis (1-0 (2 OT)) to help the Flyers clinch a home match in the upcoming GLVC Men’s Soccer Championship Tournament on Sunday, November 2nd at 2:30 PM. His golden goal against Indianapolis came with 23 seconds remaining in double overtime from over 30+ yards out. The Lockport, Ill., native has scored in three consecutive contests for the Flyers. “Robert is coming into great form at the right time,” Lewis head men’s soccer coach Evan Fiffles said. “His goal against Indianapolis is one of the best I’ve seen by a Lewis player in the last 20 years. This honor is well deserved.” Zieba is the first Flyer to be honored with the award since teammate George Thomson (Kilmarnock, Scotland/Reid Kerr College) was recognized on September 9, 2013.

judge | from page 5 somewhat like the one used by the Joliet City Council and other governing bodies that divide a municipality by geography into distinct sections. The residents of each district elect the new judges. Additionally, when the subcircuits were created, the governor included a provision to phase out the countywide seats by turning them into subcircuit seats. The retirement of a sitting circuit judge triggered the change for east seat. Will County Circuit Judge Gerald Kinney’s position was one of them. Now that the former chief judge is retiring on Dec. 1, his successor will be a subcircuit judge instead of a circuit judge. With that explained, here’s a quick look at the candidates in each race:
Subcircuit 1 Republican Dan Rippy and democrat Sherri Hale are running for the seat that was occupied until recently by Will County Judge Robert Livas. Although the popular Livas was scheduled to retire in November, he unexpectedly scheduled his last day on the bench for Oct.
20. Subcircuit 1 includes Plainfield and Wheatland townships. Rippy began his career in the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office as an assistant state’s attorney in the traffic and misdemeanor division. In 2004, he became the legal counsel for the Illinois Senate Republican Caucus and the Illinois Senate Judiciary Committee. He returned to private practice three years later and was elected to the Plainfield Village Board in 2011. Hale is a Will County Assistant Public Defender who has worked in the juvenile and felony divisions, among others. She has a Master’s Degree in Business from Cleveland State University’s Nance School of Business and has worked as an admissions officer with the Northwestern University School of Law. She teaches Sunday school and is also a founding member of the Plainfield School District Gifted and Honors parent committee, also known as the district 202 P.R.I.D.E. committee.

If the car is worth $15,000, and you owe $18,000, that would leave you $3,000 in the hole. How do you get out of that car? The bank holds the title, and until you give them the payoff amount of $18,000, you’re not getting the title. The easiest and simplest way would be if you had $3,000 on hand to make up the difference. But if someone comes along and buys the car from you for $15,000, you’ve got to be able to cover the remaining $3,000, right? Barring the best-case scenario where you actually have the money, you could go to a local bank or credit union and borrow the remaining $3,000. I hate debt,
occupied by Kinney. This seat also is in the Plainfield area. Carlson began his career in law enforcement by working as an adult probation officer and then attended the Northern Illinois University College of Law. He worked as a prosecutor for the city of Chicago and as a Will County Assistant State’s Attorney before going into private practice. He ran as a republican for Will County State’s Attorney in 2012 and lost but was appointed an associate judge the following year. Para earned her law degree from the John Marshall School of Law in Chicago and has worked for the Illinois Department of Public Aid. While working as a chairqualified arbitrator for the Circuit Court of Cook County, she was a member of a panel that decided cases in order to conserve court resources. She has been with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation since 1996 and served as a Wheatland Township Trustee from 2003 to 2009.

but being $3,000 in the hole is a lot better than $18,000 in the hole. Then, you could turn around and pay back the $3,000 quickly. After that, you’d give the total amount owed to the bank. They would give you the title, and you sign it over to the new owner. That’s how it works! —Dave

Archambeault, a sitting associate judge, and democrat Dan Kennedy are vying for this seat. The area includes Troy and Joliet townships. The vacancy was created by the retirement of Judge Richard Siegel. When he left the bench, Tom Thanas, an attorney who also has served as Joliet’s city manager, replaced him. Archambeault graduated from John Marshall Law School and has worked there as an adjunct professor. She practiced civil and appellate law at Spesia and Ayers prior to being appointed to the bench in 2007.

I started my day in the New Town several pretentious bars, cafes, and checking out the new displays and restaurants all designed to brandish audio tour at Mozart’s Residence, the Red Bull “culture.” The dynamic the reconstructed home of vibe extends into these eateries: Salzburg’s most-famous citizen (the Mayday Bar serves experimental house was bombed during World food, and the pricey restaurant War II).

Here, you can see Mozart’s piano and violin, schnitzel lunch at a restaurant, and among other artifacts. Die-hard then worked it off on a “Sound of classical music fans can also visit Music” bicycle tour. The eight-mile the cramped apartment of Mozart’s scenic pedal through Salzburg Birthplace (Geburtshaus) in Old plays up city sights related to the Town, where he learned to play musical von Trapps, a Salzburg piano and violin and composed his family who fled the Nazis.

before, and the performance (with handy superscripts in English) was spellbinding. A troupe of 10 puppeteers - actors themselves brings to life the artfully created puppets at the end of their five-foot strings. After the show, I hopped in a taxi and headed to the Augustiner Braustubl (Augustiner beer garden) for my favorite dinner in Salzburg. This huge 1,000-seat beer garden within a monk-run brewery is rustic and raw - and packed with all generations, enjoying fish grilled on sticks, munching radishes artfully sliced into long delicate spirals, and hoisting tall gray porcelain mugs of beer drawn from old-time wooden kegs. It seemed half of Salzburg had gathered under a chestnut tree orchard of conviviality. There’s a unique Austrian word for that kind of ambience: gemutlichkeit, a cozy conviviality that can make you dream in lederhosen and dirndls. In the late hours, I checked out a string of boomer-friendly cocktail and wine bars on a very characteristic old lane in a tranquil section of town, a block off the river on Steingasse in New Town. Before returning to my hotel, I marveled at the beauty of floodlit, castle-topped Salzburg from the riverbank. Even after decades of travel, I’m amazed at how a single wellorganized day can amass plenty of lifelong memories. Mingle with the locals, take a stroll or bike ride through the cobbled streets and elegant buildings, and enjoy the new and old of this Austrian mecca.
