Oberlin said any money raised from the picnic has been put back into the community. Over the years, donations have been made to local schools, a nearby food bank, the police department and the Disabled AmericanAccordingVeterans.toOberlin, the sign for this year’s picnic features 30 local sponsors, most residing in Crest Hill but some elsewhere with some connection to the city. “This is community-driven,” Oberlin said. “If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t be able to do this.”
At the first Crest Hill picnic in 2010, former Chaney and ChaneyMonge students filled four tables withClassmemorabilia.of1969 graduate Dave Grossklaus brought numerous Chaney class photos he has collected over the years from family members. He also took along a couple of old school trophies along with his Letter Award and some spelling“Whenawards.they built the new (Chaney-Monge) school, it housed sixth through eighth grade -- until they added on,” he said. “Eventually, everyone was moved there.”

“The kids make fun of me sometimes, but I’m proud,” she said. “Me, my father, my kids and my grandkids have all gone to school here. My dad was on the school board and so was my husband.”
Fred Mumaugh not only graduated from Chaney in 1958, but his mother Mary taught at the school. He told a story about how he had breakfast with the school’s former principal when traveling through Duluth, Minnesota, in 1991 -- 25 years after Monge retired.
“It’s funny, so many of the people that I see here I have known my entire life,” Oberlin said. “This is what a community should be about.”Foryounger picnic-goers, the Joliet Montessori School offered crafts and games. They also had the opportunity to get their faces painted, get a balloon creation from Charlie the Balloon Clown, and play in or on two bounce houses.

For older picnic attendees, two music stages offered a variety of music, including Slovenian polkas from Zadnja Kaplja and the classic rock of headliner ARRA. The picnic also featured food, a bake sale and raffle, and bingo. Oberlin added that the picnic uses no public funds. She said that the participation of volunteers and sponsors make it family friendly and“Theaffordable.whole idea was to let the entire city participate,” she said. “This is a blue collar community, so it was important to keep this reasonably priced.”
graduate Sue (Simonic) Brown brought two treasures that stirred nostalgia. The first was a clock that hung in the hallway outside the office of Chaney’s legendary superintendent and principal James J. Monge. The second memento was a sign from the 1940s advertising ice cream that was displayed at the popular Kobe’s store across the street. Brown said five generations of her family have lived in Crest Hill.
Around the picnic grove, there was a little bit of something for everyone – live bands, bingo and activities for children. On the east side of the park, graduates of the long-gone Chaney School even shared photographs, mementos andClassmemories.of1966
“I think we’re all sentimentalists,” he said. “I still drive by where the old school Alderwomanwas.”
Tina Oberlin, who went to both schools, helped organize the event. She said the city’s sixth annual picnic grew out of the city’s 50th anniversary celebration. She organized 37 events that year, and the picnic has continued.

Suspects caught by tracing stolen credit card
“Commerce is open and flowing while Will County residents and motorists benefit from safer travel along Route 53,” Hayes said. “Most important, there are no more near misses with freight or Amtrak trains or incidents of trucks smashing through crossing gates.”After a review of evidence and testimony, an administrative law judge at the Illinois Commerce Commission ordered the Walter Strawn crossing closed in December 2014, citing an “immediate safety concern.” Those concerns were tied to numerous “near-misses” between trains and trucks and continuous breakage of railroad crossing gates. The truck traffic stems from the intermodal facilities operated by CenterPoint Properties. More than 8,000 heavy trucks cross the tracks every day and nearly 1 million containers are brought in and out of the CenterPoint intermodal facility each year. In 2004, the ICC permitted the railway crossing to handle only between 700 and 1,800 trucks a day until 2023.

Dear Editor, As I speak with local families who are feeling the impact of Gov. Rauner’s reckless government shutdown, it is clear those who can least afford it are bearing the brunt of the pain and suffering.
As we enter the hot days of August, many low-income families in Will County face dangerous conditions due to the slashing of the Low Income Energy Assistance Program and the termination of their utilities. I am disappointed Gov. Rauner and his allies are refusing to negotiate in good faith and work towards passing a fair and responsible budget. His decision to hold the entire budgetary process hostage is putting thousands of lives at risk. Furthermore, the proposals put forth by the governor would be disastrous for residents across Illinois. Workers would not only face reduced wages, but also be one injury away from poverty. I cannot support these radical proposals, and I will continue fighting to protect the rights that helped build our middleclass.Asthe legislature continues to debate a full budget, I recently joined with my colleagues to pass a short-term budget to fund services that are essential for Illinois’ most vulnerable citizens. This spending plan will ensure the disabled and elderly continue to receive home services, keep public safety officials on the job, and provide healthcare for veterans who live in our Veteran’s Homes. I will continue working towards passing a full budget, and I hope the governor compromises before irreparable harm is done to our most fragile residents.
Sincerely, Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Joliet letter to the editor

“I hope that ESPN will take the lead and challenge every broadcast news station to hire someone with a disability as reporter, as an anchor,” said Plunkett, adding that he knows of other Special Olympics athletes who are capable of filling this role. Janet Froetscher, CEO of Special Olympics, announced that members of the media and attendees would have the opportunity to meet athletes on all ranges of the spectrum, meaning those with invisible or visible disabilities.
Shriver discussed the campaign, called “PLAY - Let’s Change The Game.” Its mission is to encourage all people to play, learn, accept and say “yes” together. The goal is to change the world to have common ground among people of all abilities. On our first day at the World Games and after receiving our media credentials, Daniel Hayes, my personal assistant and a Knights of Columbus member, accompanied me to the Special Olympics World Games: A celebration for our abilities, acceptance and inclusion

Today, Aug. 5, it has been three days since the 2015 World Summer Games for Special Olympics ended. From July 23-29, I had the opportunity to attend for the first time what I consider the largest and most inspirational events of all-time – Special Olympics 2015 World Summer Games.During my time in L.A., I was there as a reporter giving unique coverage for Special Chronicles, producing the No. 1 update podcast and featuring the stories of athletes, volunteers, coaches, fans and World Games staff. At the World Games for Special Olympics, you have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Take for example, my new friend and fellow athlete Nabila Kassar. Nabila, a basketball player, is from Special Olympics France and competed for the first time at the World Games.Nabila most enjoys meeting new people and exchanging pins from delegations all over the world. “It’s a good atmosphere,” said Nabila, with translation help from her coach. One of the highlights while at the Special Olympics World Games Los Angeles 2015 was the opportunity to meet in person my friend and fellow athlete Joelle Packard of Maryland. Joelle is 14 years old and part of Cheer For LA2015. This is the first-ever cheerleading program at the World Games, headed by her mother, Darian.
At another press conference, Special Olympics Health programs announced that the Golisano Foundation gave them $25 million to help athletes across the world stay healthy. This donation was the largest amount given by Golisano to any organization. Another big announcement – this one by Maria Shriver, journalist and daughter of Special Olympics’ founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver – is a new program from the Shriver Report, entitled “Insight Into Intellectual Disabilities in the 21st Century.”
“People with special attributes are angels and they let us know the way we are to see the world and how we are to respond to the world and to see its beauty and not imperfections,” said Darian.Another amazing athlete is Brittany Tregarthen. Brittany is a powerlifter from Alaska on Special Olympics USA. At these 2015 World Games, Brittany won multiple medals. When she is not competing, Brittany writes articles for her local newspaper. Similar to Brittany, I too write for my local newspaper, The Bugle, as well as the Enterprise and Sentinel newspapers.Whileattending a press conference, I met my friend Dustin Plunkett of Southern California. Dustin is one of Special Olympics’ most prominent representatives, being the first Special Olympics athlete to work as a commentator on ESPN. ESPN’s coverage is the first-ever coverage by an international broadcast network.

The first appearance of Unified Sports was in 2011 in Athens, Greece. Los Angeles marks the second offering of Unified Sports in the World Games. “It’s really fun for everyone to participate - people with disabilities and without, every sport across every nation,” said Sam Shriver. “It’s the best.” On July 25, I received a surprise that came during the kickoff of the World Games. I was among the press down on the field at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum. This was a complete honor, as a Special Olympics athlete, podcaster and journalist. I was honored to celebrate with my fellow athletes on the global stage. I will truly cherish all these friendships and memories.

“I’ve known from a young age just how special Lewis is. To be able to coach at the University where my grandfather started his collegiate coaching career is extremely humbling. I know he is looking down with a big smile right now.” Her grandfather is not the only coaching legend Gillespie learned fromGillespie was a four-year letter winner and three-year captain for the legendary coach Kay Yow from 1996-99. As a junior, she was NC State’s starting point guard on the 1998 NCAA Final Four squad and she was also selected as a Honorable Mention Academic All-American the following year as a senior. After stops as an assistant coach at both Central Florida (1999-2000) and UC Santa Barbara (200002), she returned to NC State as a graduate assistant under Yow. After two seasons coaching Maclay School in Tallahassee, Fla. , she returned to Yow’s staff as a full-time assistant coach and corecruiting coordinator. photo by mark gregory lewis athletic Director Dr. John Planek, left, presents new women’s basketball coach Kristen gillespie with the jersey bearing her late grandfather, gordie’s, no. 39.

Within minutes after former Lewis University women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen left for NIU, Director of Athletics Dr. John Planek had a resume on his desk from Kristen Gillespie.
“Coach Carlsen’s press conference was at 11 and at 11 o’clock, Dr. Planek had my resume and a cover letter in an email,” she said. “As soon as it went live, it was sent.”On July 30, Lewis announced the hiring of Gillespie as the 12th head women’s basketball coach in school history.The name may sound familiar because Gillespie is the granddaughter of Lewis University and Joliet-area legend Gordie Gillespie, who was Director of Athletics, head basketball and baseball coach at Lewis. “The name Gillespie at Lewis University is synonymous with coaching excellence and now Kristen will be able to add to that legacy,” Planek said. “We feel that the success of our programs have made Lewis a very desirable destination for coaches. Her experience as a player and coach at multiple levels with a strong knowledge of the Chicagoland recruiting market made her a very formidable candidate. We are very excited to welcome Kristen to our campus.”Therewas a reason Gillespie had her resume sent in as soon as the opening became official. “This was a position that I have dreamed of since I broke into the coaching profession,” Gillespie said. “I would like to thank Dr. Planek and the administration for giving me this incredible opportunity and the selection committee for making me feel so welcome during the entire process. I know I am where I belong and I hope I can be here for a very long time.

Yow’s death brought Gillespie back to Illinois, where she was able to spend years with her grandfather before he passed. “After a pretty devastating loss in my life when Coach Yow passed away of breast cancer and they got rid of our staff, I thought it was really a tough pill to swallow,” Gillespie said. “But, God put me back in the Midwest, where I got to spend six years with my grandfather and get really close withShehim.”comes to Lewis on the heels of a four-year run at Division III Benedictine in Lisle, where she was the head coach.

The sixth hole plays at 135 yards and there is a bunker over the green. The green is an oval shape with lots of different breaks to it. The seventh hole is the signature hole. At just 94 yards, it plays over a creek as the creek is also to the right of the hole. To the left is a forest. You hit your shot to a tiny green as well, making it a harder course than the distance makes you think.The eighth hole is 136 yards and is slightly uphill. It has an oval green similar to the sixth hole. Hole No. 9 is 143 yards with a creek in front of the green, which makes players take an extra club to be sure they can clear the green. The problem with that is the two-tiered green, so a shot on the back or over the green has to go back down the slope, making it a tough par.

taylor’s take By ScoTT TAyloR
valldEErEy gc OVeRVIeW locaTion: Big rock, Illinois bEST fEaTurE: a great course to hone your iron game or for new players to learn the game. quick Tip: Be precise on the short tee shots as the greens are small targets.
The second hole plays at just 116 yards. There is a creek in front of the tee box, but that will only come into play with a grounder off the tee. The green slopes sharply from back to front, making the putt very slow back up the hill. There is also a right to left slope on the green. Next is the third hole, which plays at 151 yards. The tee shot plays over a pond, but it, too doesn’t come into play much unless there is a grounder or a chunky drive. There is a slope left of the green that leads to balls falling off the green.The fourth hole is a par4 that plays at 220 yards. It is a straight hole with a tree in front of the green and another one just behind the green. I managed to hit the tree well in front of the green hard and it went all the way into the pond on No. 3. Hole No. 5 is a great one. It is a 211-yard par-4 that is uphill to a blind pin. There is a periscope next to the tee so you can see where the hole is. It is a tight drive as well as there are trees on both sides to make you hit it straight.
Deer Valley costs just $13 to play nine holes on a weekday and $14 on a weekend. For all days there is a replay for just $9. It is $7 each for a twosome to ride a cart or $13 for one person. There are also different specials to make the deal even sweeter. This course is one of those great courses for those learning the game. The environment is relaxed and there isn’t a ton of trouble on the course. However, it isn’t just for those learning the game. It is great for fine-tuning your iron and short game as well. It also offers some nice, unique holes to play that offer a stiff challenge.Thecourse was in great shape. The greens were in great shape, although they were slower than any I have played this year. ou can also play the round in an hour, or 18 holes in two hours, so it is a great way to get a quick round of golf in. The greens are about the smallest you will see on a course, so that helps to fine-tune both your iron play and your chipping. While this course may be tucked away between Yorkville and Sugar Grove, it is a fun course to visit, whether you are honing your skills, learning the game or just looking for a quick, relaxing round of golf.

column scott Taylor/bugle staff 93-yard par 3 seventh features a creek and trees blocking shots to the right.
The first hole opens with a 147-yard hole that is pretty straightforward. There are bunkers on both sides of the green that come into play.
Tucked away in Big Rock, Illinois is Deer Valley Golf Course. The course is a nine holes and for the most part a par-3 course, although a couple of the holes are short par-4s. It is owned by the Forest Preserve of Kane County and offers up both trees and creeks and lakes, which come into play.

Since we released this, we have had a lot of people coming out who have never been here before. We are looking forward to showing what we have to people who love baseball.”
