Former Cub Foods to become a church Old Cub Foods store, 191 S. Larkin Ave., will become new home of Harvest Bible Chapel By Stewart Warren staff reporter

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

The old Cub Foods store, 191 S. Larkin Ave., is going through a much-needed transformation. The building will become the new home of the Harvest Bible Chapel, Mayor Tom Giarrante said on Monday. The church currently is housed at Lynne Thigpen School, 207 S. Midland Ave, Joliet. “It’s great to see the building will be used. I was hoping they would get some retail in there. But it will be nice to see the building be fixed up,” the mayor said. The once-popular grocery has been closed since late 2006 when the company shuttered all of its Chicago-area stores. In

September 2013, the members of the Joliet City Council officially declared it a public nuisance because thieves had stripped the building of anything valuable, including all of the electric wiring, the water piping and the refrigeration lines. There was no functioning heat, air conditioning or fire sprinkling systems. The roof leaked and much of the dry wall had been peeled away from the interior. But on Monday, that was obviously beginning to change. A large section of the building’s façade had been painted a dark brown, and a worker was power washing another part of the building. The parking lot looked much cleaner, and there weren’t any semi trucks idling outside while their drivers slept. The Harvest Bible Chapel is

a somewhat new organization, according to its web site. It began in 1988 with a small group of worshippers who gathered at a Rolling Meadows High School.

Over the years, the church’s mission has emphasized growth, and ministries have begun in other cities. Harvest Bible Chapel came to Joliet in 2010.

The church has been working on acquiring the property for about eight months, said Jim Haller, the city’s building and community development director. They spent some time working with Wal-Mart Stores, the owner of the nearby empty building to the south. Local law requires that churches be 100 feet from any other business with a liquor license, Haller explained. Although the former Wal-Mart also is empty, the company did not want to rule out the possibility of selling the old building to another company that might need the liquor license. Eventually the two sides worked out a deal, Haller said. Now the church must fix up the building. They’ve decided to work on the outside first, saving the inside until later. “They must bring it up to life safety codes before they can occupy it,” he said. “That could be a tall order.”

Joliet City Council denies request for a two-unit

Building dates to 1900 and has been used as a two-unit for more than 100 years By Stewart Warren staff reporter

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

Say goodbye to the two-unit at 925 N. Broadway. It won’t be that way anymore. Although the building has had two apartments for more than a

century, the members of the Joliet City Council decided to change that during their meeting on Tuesday. Earlier this year, Oscar Escareno, a landlord who lives in Bolingbrook, bought the building in the Cunningham Neighborhood. He didn’t plan to live there; Escareno

bought it as an investment and wanted to rent it to tenants. The building has two apartments, each with its own kitchen, living room, bedrooms and separate connections to the utilities. Although it looked like a legal two-unit, it wasn’t really. It was zoned R-2, single family residential. So Escareno asked the city for a special use permit – a kind of official permission – to allow the

building to remain a two unit. A report prepared by a member of the city’s staff notes that the building dates to 1900 and has been used as a two-unit for more than 100 years. But city records show that the owner occupied one of the apartments until recently. When the property was put on the market, it was listed as “related living,” meaning a house with separate quarters to be occupied

by two sets of family members. Escareno’s request first went to the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals on Sept. 11. The members considered the issue and approved it with a vote of 4-3. The matter was discussed during the City Council’s workshop session on Oct. 6. John Sheridan, president of the Cunningham Neighborhood Association, asked the council to say no to Escareno, arguing that his area had too many problems already with absentee landlords. During the regular City Council meeting on Oct. 7, Councilwoman Bettye Gavin, who represents the Cunningham Neighborhood as part of her District 4 duties, asked to have the issue tabled, and it was. When it came back on Monday, several of the Council members did not seem supportive of the special use permit. Councilwoman Jan Quillman asked Escareno if he had researched the building’s zoning before he bought it. “No, I didn’t,” Escareno said. “I’m sorry.” Councilman Jim McFarland sympathized with the landlord but indicated the zoning was a problem. “We are trying to eliminate some of these homes being converted to two units due to the congestion of traffic,” he said. To better explain the situation, Escareno said he had paid $40,000 for the building and had put $40,000 more into it, replacing the driveway, installing new water heaters, adding more modern windows and redoing the drywall. Councilman Larry Hug implied that a rental property with an absentee landlord might not be so bad. “What is worse: a two-unit or a dilapidated building that is empty?” he asked. In the end, the Council members backed Sheridan, voting unanimously to deny his request for a special use permit. “This is nothing against you, sir,” said Gavin. “You did an amazing job with that property … (But) the community has spoke.” Outside City Council chambers, the landlord did not seem upset by the decision and said he would not file a lawsuit against the city to get what he wanted. “It’s fine if they don’t approve,” Escareno said. “I will rent it like a single family (home).”

Cupcake law passes in Joliet Law allows sale of treats to total $1,000 a month, must be marked home baked By Stewart Warren staff reporter

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

They should have called it the potica law. That’s probably the most popular home-baked good sold in Joliet. Everyone around here loves the Slovenian pastry that’s like a jellyroll, rich with honey, cinnamon, butter and chopped nuts. But no matter how you slice it, selling homemade yumminess now is legal in the city. During their regular meeting on Tuesday, the members of the Joliet City Council unanimously approved a local version of the state’s Cupcake Law, legislation allowing people to bake and sell food from their homes without being certified by a health department. Gov. Pat Quinn signed the cupcake bill in June after regulators closed a young girl’s downstate home baking business. The law allows the sale of treats to total $1,000 a month if there are no potentially hazardous foods and the items are marked as home baked. But there is a catch. Municipalities must adopt an ordinance for it to be in effect locally. Concerned about the statewide change, residents contacted Mayor Tom Giarrante this summer and asked the city to create its own Cupcake Law, City Attorney Jeff

Councilman Jim McFarland wore the apron and hat for the rest of the meeting on Tuesday. Plyman said. Then Councilman Jim McFarland joined the bandwagon, inviting local bakers to attend the Oct. 14 Land Use and Legislative Committee meeting and discuss the issue. As the City Council members voted on Tuesday, some of them discussed their relationship with buttery, sugary things. “From someone who does a real good job of eating potica for the holidays, I vote aye,” Councilman John Gerl said. There had been quite a few phone calls opposing the ordinance, Councilwoman Jan Quillman said. That wasn’t right. “Come on, people, get a life,” she urged. Like many other people, there’s no time to bake potica at Christmas. But the yen to eat it remains. Home bakers aren’t completely free of the Will County Health Department’s regulations. The

city worked with county officials as the ordinance was created, Plyman said. If there is a problem related to the homemade food, the health department still will have jurisdiction. “I don’t think it’s practical to require everyone who bakes cakes and treats … to be treated as a commercial enterprise,” Plyman said. People who have food allergies or other health problems know to be careful about what they eat, he said. “The actual risk of harm is not very significant,” Plyman said. After the Council members voted, John Sheridan, president of the Cunningham Neighborhood Organization, grabbed the podium to thank McFarland for his role in the issue. As others distributed trays of potica and cupcakes to the Council members for their snacking pleasure, Sheridan insisted that McFarland a chef’s apron and toque for the rest of the meeting.

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 Some 30,000 trucks expected to go in and out of 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.”

8A PLAYOFFS:

JOLIET WEST @ OSWEGO The details: For Joliet West (54), it is the first time in the playoffs in school history. Oswego is just the opposite, has missed the playoffs only three times in the last 28 years, the last time being in 2010. The Panthers are coming off a win over Plainfield South gave them a fourth-straight unbeaten SPC season. West is coming off a loss at Lockport to end the year, but is looking to bounce back and

grab the playoff win.

game time

Keys to the game: Joliet West will be given a heavy dose of a power run game by the Panthers. Oswego is not a real tricky team to figure out, as it runs the ball and you and challenges you to make a stop. They will put the ball in the air with Steven Frank. On West’s side, they have to take care of the football and limit their own mistakes to get a win here.

7 p.m. Saturday Quarterback Alex Tibble is the type of signal caller you want when the season is on the line. The junior is a playmaker. -compiled by Mark Gregory

5A PLAYOFFS:

St. lawrence @ joliet catholic The details: The Hilltoppers are headed to the playoffs on the heels of a solid win at Marist last week. St. Laurence comes into the playoffs 5-4, outscoring its opponents by only 2.1 points per game this season. Of the Vikings’ five wins this season, only one of them, a 31-28 win over 5-4 Aurora Christian, came against a team with a winning record.

Keys to the game: The key to this game for JCA is survival. The Hilltoppers have been banged up since the loss at Nazareth but have managed two wins without the likes of starting quarterback Cade Earl.. A win in the first round puts Earl on track to return for a secondround game, which could pit JCA against playoff foe Montini.

game time 7 p.m. Saturday But at 6-3 this season, Montini, like JCA, is a different team than it has been in the past. No doubt that would be a great game, but the Hillmen can’t look ahead and need to take care of business.

Season ends for Minooka By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

Minooka’s season came to an end Friday night in a 60-20 loss at Plainfield North. While the Indian’s offense was able to keep pace with the host Tigers (6-3 overall, 5-2 in Southwest Prairie Conference) in the first quarter, they couldn’t do so the rest of the game. It was a 26-20 lead for North after one, and that lead grew to 47-20 at the half as the Indians (45, 3-4) couldn’t get anything going after the first quarter. There were plenty of fireworks for both teams in the first quarter. After Plainfield North jumped out to a 12-0 lead, Minooka answered with a 56-yard touchdown run by Nate Gunn to cut the lead to 12-7. The Indians responded to another Tiger touchdown with a 72-yard screen pass from John Carnagio to Victor Turpin to make it 18-14. Minooka would get one more score in the closing seconds after the quarter to answer yet another North touchdown, this time on a 47-yard pass from Carnagio to Peter Andreano. When the quarter was done, the Indians racked up 214 yards of offense. The problem was they allowed 242. “I haven’t seen anything like that in a long time,” Minooka

Nate Gunn and the Indians’ had their season come to an end Friday. coach Paul Forsythe said of the first quarter. “We had trouble stopping them and were able to get a few big plays. The kids played hard. It just wasn’t the result we wanted.” Over the last three quarters, they could manage just 92 yards. “We had the ball in good field position, and then we would get a holding penalty and get behind the sticks. When you get behind like that, it is tough because you have to make up a lot of ground,” Forsythe said. “We knew it was going to be tough to matriculate the ball down the field against them and would need some big plays. We had that early, we just couldn’t continue it.” Gunn finished his high school career with 121 yards rushing on

19 carries. Carnagio had 186 yards passing. “He was our go-to guy and he has been a three-year varsity starter,” Forsythe said of Gunn. “We didn’t have anyone outside to make big plays, so it was tough to get him going. He has been great and is a leader. We are going to miss him.” The end of the year meant the end of the career for the seniors, who came close to qualifying for the playoffs each of the past two years. “These seniors only won two games as sophomores,” Forsythe stated. “They’ve come a long way. They have been a blast to be around. The season didn’t end up the way we wanted it to, but they were a pleasure to coach.”

Agony Haunted House: A family affair For the Miller’s, it’s a fall tradition that involves thousands of strangers dropping by their home By Stewart Warren staff reporter

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

Chris Miller had a request. She didn’t want much. “Make me just a little bit dead,” she said. It was Oct. 24, exactly one week before Halloween and just before dusk. Chris was inside the makeshift make-up trailer that actually is the coach house behind her gracious and gentile Victorian home at 602 Western Ave., Joliet. Although she was in the process of being transformed, her front yard was already there, and it looked very George Romero. It’s the Agony Haunted House, the Cathedral Neighborhood’s own fear factory, and a free Halloween attraction for anyone who likes to be scared silly. For the Miller family, it’s a fall tradition that involves

thousands of strangers dropping by their home. Almost Show Time Eric Semplinski, Chris’ nephew, went to work. Equipped with a hissing compressor, an airbrush and European body paint, he delicately sprayed her face in shades of decay. He’d already colored his own mother a sickly and witchy green. When he was done, Sue Raspolich of Channahon pulled a ragged wig over her hair and topped it with a pointed hat. “This is making you look very creepy,” Chris said, adjusting the costume. They didn’t have much time to talk. It was getting late, and it was friends and family night at Agony. That’s the day when relatives and close friends stop by to see the show. It’s a kind of reunion, a time

for everyone to gather after the end of summer and before the more serious holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. The show is supposed to begin every night at 6 p.m., and Eric likes to be on time. The haunted house’s cast –many of them friends and family, of course -- gathered on the home’s wide front porch for a pep talk and last-minute revisiting of the rules: don’t touch anyone; don’t scream in someone’s ear; and if a kid is seriously scared, back off. There already was a line out front. “Spots!” yelled Jeremy Jurbick of Joliet, one of the show runners. The ghosts, the weird clowns and the little green alien went to their places inside the plywood walls to wait. “It’s a crazy time.” It all began 24 years ago. Eric, 36, of Joliet, has always loved Halloween, and his younger brother Brian Semplinski felt the same way. At 12 and 10, they created a headless man costume for Brian, and that was there start.

Back then, Rick Miller, Chris’ husband, asked the brothers if they would like to create a scary path along the sidewalk leading to the front steps of the home on Western Avenue.. The boys ran with the idea, setting up some small displays. Over the years, it got bigger and bigger. Now it’s huge, an entire haunted house with plywood walls, a maze of rooms, a disorienting vortex tunnel and many spooky residents. It even has its own Facebook page. “They just liked building things,” said Tom Semplinski of Channahon, Eric and Brian’s father. Now Agony Haunted house is so enormous that it has to be stored in a semi trailer. Eric owns a shop where he builds all the props. It takes several days to set up, and he’s looking for new ideas all year long. The Semplinskis, the Millers and their friends do it all for the love of Halloween, and for free. Although donations are greatly appreciated, they don’t charge a dime for anyone to have fun there.

And when Agony Haunted House is closed for another year, Eric spreads grass seed on the Miller’s now ruined front yard. “It’s a crazy time,” Chris said.
