Shorewood plans to add new public works facility new $10 million building would be constructed on mound road by brian stanley bugle staff

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

The Village of Shorewood is planning for a new facility that will centralize public works operations.

At a recent committee meeting, village trustees reviewed the proposed $10 million building, which would be constructed on Mound Road where there is currently a dome which stores road salt.

“Being spread out across five sites within the village does not lend itself to efficient public works operations,” stated a report from Tria Architecture that was submitted to trustees. “Staff

must regularly travel between sites to pick up vehicles, equipment and tools, to attend meetings, and to get parts and make repairs.”

The administrative offices, vehicle maintenance garage, fuel tanks and storage yard on Cottage Street may be sold to a developer as part of a TIF district, according to village documentation. The office and garage are also “cramped” for storage and staff, Tria Architecture reported. The former Troy fire station on Jefferson Street has different vehicles stored two deep, which requires adjustments when something in the back is needed.

“Several of the existing facilities are at the end of their useable life and require extensive repairs,” the report stated. Besides the storage site on Mound Road, public works also operates a sign shop in the village hall

basement. If the Mound Road facility was approved, it would hold administrative offices, vehicle storage, a garage and shops in an 87,000 squarefoot building. The site would also add a second salt dome, a covered leaf dump, fuel pumps, police impound lot and “burn tower” for use by the Troy Fire District.

Trustees are expected to discuss the public works building at an upcoming board meeting.

Old Joliet Prison to host Blues Brothers fest Aug. 21-22 old Joliet prison to host 40th anniversary of the blues brothers festival aug. 21 and 22nd as well as 13th floor haunted house by ryan ostry bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

I

n the last 40 years, there might not be a more iconic movie than “The Blue Brothers.”

“The Blues Brothers” was shot in 1980 wan is known throughout Will County for its opening scene that was shot at the Joliet Correctional Center on Collins Street.

The prison, which was established in 1858, will host a two-day Blues Brothers festival that is set for Aug. 21 and 22 to mark the 40th anniversary of the film.

“The prison has defined the city of Joliet,” said Executive Director of the prison Greg Peerbolte. “With this opportunity, I think we are looking for this city to turn around and define

what the prison has actually meant to the city of Joliet.”

The Old Joliet Prison, which has now converted into a tourism site, hosts regular tours for fees that range from $20 through $50.

In 2004, the state of Illinois closed the prison, but in December of 2017, the city of Joliet signed a five-year lease with the state of Illinois to utilize the prison.

Throughout the years of existence, the prison has hosted numerous tours, festivals and many films and productions, but it is still most notably famous for the opening scene in “The Blues Brothers” movie.

During the film that was directed

by John Landis, it focuses on Jakes (John Belushi) release from prison and him reuniting with his brother, Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) where together they are known as the “Blues Brothers.”

Jake’s first task is to save the orphanage the brothers grew up in from closing, and to do that, he must raise $5,000 to pay back taxes.

The brothers believe they can earn the money by getting their old band back together, but as time goes on

after playing at numerous amount of gigs, they realize that the money will be harder than they thought to receive.

“This movie established such a backstory just simply walking out of that gate in the street it’s unbelievable,” Peerbolte said. “The Blues

Brothers love letter to Chicago was more specifically a love letter to the south region of Chicago because a lot of movies at that time were being filmed on the north side of the city.”

During the festival in August, fans will have the chance to see the movie being re-aired, Blues Brothers tribute band(s) and a replica of the stage at Bob’s Country Bunker — the scene where Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues were protected by chicken wire while

singing the blues to a displeased.

“It’s kind off a no brainer to commemorate on what was an important movie,” Peerbolte said. “People can anticipate a lot of music and hearing about the movie itself come August, it will be a great time for everybody.”

Although the movie is very popular throughout the Will County area, in 2018, more than 1,500 people voted upon the top 10 list as part of the state’s bicentennial celebration, and on that list, it just so happens that “The Blues Brothers” was ranked No.1 for the top movie in Illinois.

Besides the much-regarded event in August, the Old Joliet Prison will be hosting another major event in October.

The 13th Floor entertainment company that operates nationwide with 16 haunted houses will be partnering with the Old Joliet Prison to hold a haunted house in the former women’s prison.

The site for the 13th Floor will be at 401 Woodruff Ave. where spectators can enter and enjoy a good spook and a piece of history for Halloween.

“That will be a pretty cool experience with the 13th Floor being there in the old women’s prison,” Peerbolte said. “Both events will be a must see, and we can’t wait to see the turnout.”

man overdoses while being arrested

by brian stanley bugle staff

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com A Joliet man died Jan. 29 after reportedly swallowing a fatal amount of narcotics while being arrested.

Eric D. Lurry, 37, was taken into custody Jan. 28 near Briggs and Washington streets as the result of a drug investigation, police said.

According to Sgt. Christopher Botzum, Lurry was brought to the police station at 4:17 p.m. and re-

fused to get out of the squad car.

“Officers observed (Lurry) concealing drugs in his mouth...and were able to remove a large bag of suspected cocaine from his mouth.” But Lurry reportedly ingested “a large amount” and became unresponse, according to the Will-Grundy Major Crimes Task Force. He was taken to Saint Joseph Hospital where he died early the next morning. The task force is conducting an investigation into Lurry’s death.

column >> dave says

Dave Says: Don’t let ‘little kid’ ruin your financial plans dear dave: We’re debt-free except for our home, and we’ll have our fully funded emergency fund of three to six months of expenses — we’ve agreed on six months’ worth — saved up by the end of February. We’re also setting aside a little each month to buy a newer car with cash later. We’re

about $5,000 from our car fund goal, but my husband is getting impatient.

He wants us to go ahead a finance the remainder, since it’s a relatively small amount. He has tried to justify this by mentioning that you don’t seem to have a problem with people borrowing money to buy a house. Could you explain the difference?

lana A: OK, first things first. I don’t like debt of any kind. I don’t really like borrowing for a house, but I’m not unreasonable. I tolerate mortgage loans, as long as people use a 15-year, fixed rate mortgage with payments that are no more than a fourth of their monthly take-home pay. A house is often the

largest purchase in a person’s life, and one most people can’t achieve based solely on saving. I still recommend, however, setting aside as much as possible for a down payment before taking out a mortgage.

Here’s the thing. Cars go down in value, while traditional homes generally increase in value substantially

over the years. Plus, you can get an absolutely great, pre-owned car for $10,000 to $15,000. This is an amount which, in my mind, is doable over the course of several months through determined saving and living on a budget. Depending on where you live, a good home can cost 10 to 20 times that much.

shorthanded Joliet west gives bolingbrook a battle, learns lessons from loss for playoffs by mark gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com Up until a few years ago, a match-up between Bolingbrook and Joliet West basketball would have been a normal, conference game between two of the area’s elite programs.

While not much in that statement has changed, the conference part has.

The two local schools that shared residency in both the SICA and SWSC, now call different leagues home after Joliet West relocated to the Southwest Prairie Conference a few years ago.

So, in order for them to compete on the same stage, it has to take place in non-conference action — which is what took place last weekend at Lewis University when Lockport Township hosted the four-team Will County Winter Classic at the Flyers’ Neil Carey Arena.

“We love to play teams from our area and whether it is Lincoln-Way East at Thanksgiving, Bolingbrook in a nonconference, still playing Lockport — we miss the old conference, we would love to play H-F and Bolingbrook twice to test our mettle,” said first-year Joliet West coach Jeremy Kreiger, who remembers the rivalry with the Raiders from his days on the Joliet Township co-op team.

The Tigers (20-4), who were missing several players for various

reasons, stunned the crowd and took it to Bolingbrook (19-4) early opening a 12-point lead at the half.

Led by Elon-bound guard Darius Burford, Bolingbrook stormed back in the second half and won the game 74-67.

“We really challenged our guys at halftime. I was disappointed, not so much with the execution, but the effort in the second quarter,” said Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost. “We weren’t spreading the floor and doing the things we normally do on both ends. They just out toughed us in the first half.

“Most nights, we are the more athletic team and tonight where all that was equal, if not to their advantage in some of the matchups.

We have played a really, really tough schedule, but we have not played a team as intense as Joliet West. You can prepare for it, but you are not really ready until you see it – the same with playing us.

If they get up by 12 on any other team, they win by 20, but you can’t prepare for what we do, the same way we can’t prepare for what they do.”

Burford led all scorers with 25 points on the night, while teammate Kai Matthew Evans added 23.

West was paced by 16 points from sophomore Schuyler Crudup, who was called up to fill voids left by the missing players.

Most notably absent was leading scorer and Toledo University recruit Jamere Hill, who missed his

Deksnys leads Lockport past Plainfield South by drake skleba for the bugle

@BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com The first three quarters of the nightcap of the Will County Hoops Invite at Lewis University, the game was an individual, threepoint shooting contest between Lockport junior Matas Deksnys and Cougar senior Devin Jones. After three, hard-fought quarters of play, the Porters clung to a 42-40 lead.

Deksnys buried four three point bombs, while Jones had matched the Porter sharpshooter with four of his own.

With the Porters up 44-40 with 6:22 remaining, Deksnys (17 points, five 3’s) hit his fifth triple of the game to give the Porters (1013) a 47-40 lead.

Ignited by their teammate’s artillery display the Porter defense clamped down on the stunned Cougar (7-17) shooters and Lockport rolled to the 62-50 victory.

“I have been working very hard in practice on my shooting,” Deksnys said. “I have been very confident in my outside shot and I have been in a zone, as of late.”

Plainfield South’s Jones also score 17 points to tie Deksnys for game scoring honors.

Cougar senior, TJ Williams (11 points, eight rebounds, two blocks, two steals), along with Jones, each hit from downtown to open up a 9-0 lead for South in the first three minutes of the game.

Junior Sam Trafton and sophomore Ethan Gallagher came off the bench to pull the Porters within 13-10, after one quarter.

“What I wanted then to focus on was not the excuses that could produce the shortcomings, but focus on the fact that we had guys that could play basketball and play healthy and confident. We did that, just at the end, we didn’t have the horses for the final stretch,” Kreiger said. “They are gaining the valuable experience in the adverse moments in the adverse environment. Super-Sectionals are played on a college floor.

When March basketball comes around it is about who makes the least amount of men-

Lockport grabbed a 27-24 lead at the halftime break.

Trafton (nine points,seven rebounds) score dseven of his nine points in the first half.

“I was very happy with the way I rebounded tonight,” Trafton said. “I was able to get some put-back baskets, as well, something that I was not able to do last night.”

The fourth quarter belonged to Porter senior Tim DiCristofano.

DiCristofano, who scored 11 points and haul ed down seven rebounds for the game, grabbed four of those seven rebounds off the offensive glass in the crucial fourth quarter.

“I was very aggressive in the fourth quarter, which allowed me to get the offensive rebounds,” DiCristofano said.

For Plainfield South, junior Brennan Phillips and senior, Peyton Schmid each score six points.

For Lockport, 6-foot-5 senior Tommy Ferriter scored six points and hauled down eight boards for the Porters.

“It was a very good bounce-back win after last night’s loss to Bolingbrook,” Lockport coach Brett Hespell said. “For the first three quarters, we didn’t play well on defense. In the fourth quarter, we really clamped down on them, to get this win.

“Matas hit six, three’s for us against Bolingbrook last night. He has been working very hard on his shooting and is in a zone right now. Just a junior, Sam Trafton, was outstanding off the bench for us and did an outstanding job rebounding. Tim (DiCristofano) is a senior for us and played well tonight.”

tal mistakes and plays intelligent.

Now, they are ready to play in those moments.

“I am proud of the gentlemen in our locker room, staff included, and I am thankful that they believe in the culture that we are trying to build and the way that we are playing basketball. We learn more in our losses and I believe that if we are healthy in March that we proved we can play with anyone.”

Even in defeat, West impressed the coach on the other side.

“It is always good for our area when Joliet West is good,” Brost said. “And they are really good.”

C

hocolate is often described as “decadent,” and rightfully so. Few foods can make people feel as if they’re being indulgent as well as chocolate. Perhaps that’s what makes chocolate such a great fit for Valentine’s Day. When giving that special someone some chocolate on February 14, you’re not just giving them something delicious, but also a chance to indulge in a forbidden fruit.

But chocolate desserts can be more than merely decadent.

In fact, this recipe for “Pasticcio di Cioccolato con Lampone (Individual Chocolate Cakes With Fresh Raspberries)” from Michael White and Joanna Pruess’ “Fiamma: The Essence of Contemporary Italian Cooking” (Wiley) is both decadent and, thanks to the fresh raspberries, refreshing. The individual cake is an ideal Valentine’s Day gift, as it serves to emphasize how that special someone is the only one for you.

Pasticcino di Cioccolato con Lampone (Individual Chocolate Cakes With Fresh Raspberries) Makes 8 servings 11⁄3

cups cake flour, sifted

1⁄3 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted 1⁄4

teaspoon baking soda

6 butter

tablespoons unsalted

6

large eggs

1

cup granulated sugar

1

teaspoon vanilla extract

1

cup heavy cream

1⁄4 sifted

cup confectioners’ sugar,

1

pint fresh raspberries

Vegetable cooking spray Pinch of sea salt Preheat the oven to 325 F. Spray a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray or fill 8 of the cups with paper or foil liners.

Sift the flour, 1⁄3 cup of cocoa, salt, and baking soda into a bowl and set aside. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and set aside.

Combine the eggs and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.

Set the bowl over a pan partially filled with simmering water. The water should not touch the bowl.

Using a whisk, beat the egg-sugar mixture until it feels very warm to the touch and all of the sugar has dissolved. Immediately remove the bowl from the heat and transfer it to the electic mixer.

Whip the egg-sugar mixture on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until it triples in volume and is very thick and light colored. Add the vanilla and whip 2 to 3 seconds longer to blend.

Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the flour-cocoa mixture.

Place about 11⁄2 cups of the batter in a separate bowl and fold in the melted butter. Do this gently, as you do not want to overwork the batter. Fold this into the remaining batter.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake tins. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center of one cupcake comes out clean.

Remove and cool completely on a rack.

While the cupcakes are cooling, combine the heavy cream with the confectioners’ sugar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cocoa, beat into soft peaks, and set aside.

Remove the cupcakes from the tin and place them on dessert plates. Spoon the whipped cream on top, divide the raspberries among the plates and serve.
