Man arrested for shooting teen, infant Incident occurred at 9:30 p.m. in the 1000 block of Broadway

BY BRIAN STANLEY Bugle Staff

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

A Joliet man was arrested Aug. 27 after reportedly shooting a teen and an infant.

Both victims, a 19-year-old man and his 1-year-old child, were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, according to police.

The confrontation occurred about 9:30 p.m. in the 1000 block

of Broadway.

Witnesses identified Levelle Barfield, 22, as the shooter and Barfield was reportedly spotted by police a short time later in the 1100 block of Summit Street.

“As officers approached Barfield, he took off running. After a brief foot pursuit, Barfield was taken into custody in the 1100 block of Cora Street,” police said.

Joliet Police said detectives are “actively investigating the motive for the shooting.”

Barfield was charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm and one count of aggravated battery to a child.

FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT OF WILL COUNTY

Order a Canine Calendar to benefit homeless pets Proceeds from the sales of calendars will benefit the Will County Humane Society If you love animals and are looking for a way to support homeless pets in Will County, ordering a 2020 canine calendar from the Forest Preserve District is the perfect option.

You can order your calendar now at willcountydogs.org. And if you decide to order extras as presents for this holiday season, they will be shipped in time for you to give them to all of your animal-loving friends and family.

Proceeds from the sales of calendars will benefit the Will County Humane Society. The shelter has been serving the area for over 40 years with a single purpose – to provide a safe haven for homeless pets and help them find their forever home.

The organization receives no state or federal funding and relies entirely on donations.

The dogs that will be featured in the calendar are all dogs that romp and play at the Forest Preserve District’s six dog parks.

“We thought it was a great way to help homeless pets while also celebrating the dogs that frequent our dog parks on a daily basis,” said Ralph Schultz, the Forest Preserve’s chief operating officer.

Since a casting call was published in June, the District has narrowed the number of prospective calendar models from 250 dogs to more than 40.

“It was extremely difficult to narrow the field because each dog was unique in its own way and would have made a great addition to the

The dogs that visit Forest Preserve dog parks are lucky, because they have homes and owners who care for and about them, ...

But not every animal is as fortunate. The calendar initiative is a way to help those pets that are without a loving family to call their own, while also putting our dog park calendar,” said Laura Kiran, the Forest Preserve’s director of marketing and communications. “Due to space limits we had to reduce the number to a manageable amount.

But we truly appreciate all those who submitted photos of their pets for consideration.”

Now that the photo shoots have been completed, the calendar will be assembled, printed and distributed to all who want to make a difference in homeless animals’ lives by ordering one or more. One dog will be selected for the cover, 12 for each month of the year and the remainder will be featured in other places within the calendar.

Calendars cost $15 each, which includes shipping and taxes, and approximately $10 from each calendar sold will be donated to the Will County Humane Society, the oldest no-kill shelter in the county. The calendars are being sold via preorders only from now until Sunday, October 20. Orders will be shipped the week of November 25 to ensure they are received in time

for the holidays.

Every day of the year, the humane society cares for more than 40 homeless dogs and nearly 100 cats looking for their forever homes. It provides for their general health care, shelter and well-being through its network of volunteers and resources.

This private shelter is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that relies on generous donations to run the facility and care for pets. At the Will County Humane Society, homeless pets stay as long as they need in order to find homes. During their stay, the Humane Society handles their comprehensive care and medical needs.

“The dogs that visit Forest Preserve dog parks are lucky, because they have homes and owners who care for and about them,” Kiran said. “But not every animal is as fortunate. The calendar initiative is a way to help those pets that are without a loving family to call their own, while also putting our dog park patrons’ pets in the spotlight.”

The calendar will include a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages and stories. Some of the humane society’s successful placement stories and several of the calendar dogs’ stories will be featured on the Forest Preserve’s website and in its Citizen newsletter in the coming weeks.

And if you want to get a sneak preview of the more than 40 dogs that were photographed for the calendar, the canines will be featured daily in a new Instagram account at instagram.com/todayspooch.

The message is simple: order one or more calendars today to make a difference in a homeless animal’s life and enjoy viewing pictures of photogenic pups all year long in 2020.

LABOR DAY 2019 over what increasingly seemed like a sham prosecution. Of the other four defendants, one committed suicide while the other three were sent to prison; however, they were later pardoned.

The martyrdom of the defendants fueled pro-labor forces, eventually leading to the eight-hour workday, along with the creation of International Workers’ Day on May 1.

THE PULLMAN STRIKE

Illinois has been the nexus for the nation s labor movement

BY PHIL LUCIANO Of the Journal Star of Peoria @BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com From organizing unions to effecting labor laws, Illinois has played a vital historical role as a flashpoint — sometimes involving violence and danger — for workplace fairness.

These are some of the key figures and events of that struggle.

MOTHER JONES She lost her own family, so she adopted a new one, a huge one, lifting up the cause of labor. In the process, Mother Jones became perhaps the greatest labor force in the history of Illinois. An Irish immigrant and dressmaker, Mary Harris landed in Memphis, Tennessee, where she met and

JOHNKE; THE COURTYARDS OF KIPLING ESTATES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION; UNKNOWN OWNERS AND NON-RECORD CLAIMANTS; UNKNOWN OCCUPANTS Defendant.

Case No. 17 CH 0045 in the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit, Will County, Illinois.

Terms of Sale: ten percent (10%) at the time of sale and the balance within twenty-four (24) hours. No judicial sale fee shall be paid by the mortgagee acquiring the residential real estate pursuant to its credit bid at the sale or

wed George Jones, a foundry worker and union supporter. They’d had four children by 1867, when an epidemic of yellow fever claimed the entire household, save Mary. The 30-year-old widow relocated to Chicago to start anew with a dress shop, but it was lost in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

She scraped to get by, sometimes sewing piecework for wealthy Chicago families. As she’d gaze out their picture windows, she gained a keen eye and soft heart for disenfranchised.

Jones gravitated to organizing with the Knights of Labor, then the United Mine Workers. Her labor-rights moxie quickly won over workers. She’d travel to help wherever the call — garment workers in Chicago, steelworkers in Pittsburgh, bottle washers in Milwaukee — railing against companies and corporations for fair wages and safe working conditions.

At the close of the 19th century, Illinois became a labor battleground, especially for downstate miners, drawing her attention. After she died

in 1930, she was buried among the miners laid to rest at Union Miners Cemetery in Mount Olive. Her simple marker carries some uncharacteristically purple prose, in part extolling: “She gave her life to the world of labor, her blessed soul to heaven.”

It’s almost a shame she isn’t remembered there from one of her most telling quotes: “I’m not a humanitarian.

I’m a hell raiser.”

THE HAYMARKET AFFAIR With the explosion of a stick of dynamite, the Haymarket Affair became a key flashpoint of the U.S. labor movement.

By May 1886, Chicago had become a labor battleground, with pro-labor forces fighting for better working conditions and pay. The tug-of-war also included radical anarchists who wanted to overthrow capitalism, sparking fear among much of the public.

To advance the idea of an eighthour workday, a labor rally was set for May 4 — a day after police fired upon on an angry mob of striking Chicago

workers, killing two. The rally seemed peaceful, ending as a throng of police stepped through to disperse attendees. Then a stick of dynamite was hurled at the police, killing seven cops and one civilian. In return, officers started firing into the crowd, wounding dozens.

Eight men were arrested and convicted in connection with the bombing, though the thrower was never found. Still, four were hanged; at the gallows, one said, “The time will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you strangle today.”

His words proved prescient. Though a wave of xenophobia had swept the nation immediately after the bombing, public skepticism gradually grew

The Pullman Strike was the first national strike in American, riveting the country to the burgeoning labor movement.

South of Chicago, the Pullman Co. not only built and leased passenger train cars but set up a company town of Pullman, allegedly as a model community. But during a recession in 1893, the company laid off workers and cut wages, yet did not reduce rents.

Led by the American Railway Union, 4,000 Pullman workers went on strike May 22, 1894. Gradually, the strike grew nationally: by June 30, 125,000 workers on 29 railroads had walked off the job rather than handle Pullman cars. The strike shut down much of the nation’s freight and passenger traffic west of Detroit.

In early July, the federal government (leaning on antitrust and commerce laws) obtained a court injunction ordering ARU leaders from inciting workers to refuse to work.

Son has good income, low rent, but is asking for money

Let him wallow in it and worry about things for a while and test his resolve first DEAR DAVE, Our son is 27, and he has a good job making $55,000 a year. Recently, we learned he financed an expensive car he’s now upside down on. In addition, he has accumulated over $15,000 in credit card debt. He lives in a small town, and only pays $650

DEAR BRYCE,

a month in rent, but he is asking for money. We taught him about living on a budget and staying out of debt when he was younger, and now it seems he didn’t listen very well. How do you think we should handle this situation?

BRYCE

The first thing I’d advise telling him is that you and his mom aren’t going to whip out the checkbook, and make his problems disappear.

That may sound harsh, but he had a really good thing going until he messed it up by acting impulsively and irresponsibly with his finances.

Nope, I wouldn’t take care of it for him—not at his age. This young man needs to have some skin in the

game. I’d tell him to sell the fancy car, and get something way cheaper to drive for a while. I’m talking about a little beater in the $2,000 to $3,000 range. It sounds like he’ll have to get a small loan to cover the difference, but a little car debt is better than a lot of car debt. I’d also advise him to pick up a part-time job nights or weekends until he gets that credit card debt paid off.

In other words, let him wallow

in it and worry about things for a while. Then, if he’s willing to accept responsibility for his actions, and starts handling money more wisely, you two might help out every so often with a little extra cash on the payments.

But I’d test his resolve first. And I’d want to see proof he has learned from his mistakes!

DAVE
