Oak Ridge Boys set to perform holiday classics Dec. 22

this season, the oak ridge boys will be touring on a new christmas album by mark gregory editorial director

T

he Christmas tree was lit in downtown Joliet the day after Thanksgiving, the downtown shops are decorated and on December 22 another recent Joliet tradition will take place as the Oak Ridge Boys return to the Rialto Square Theater for their 30th annual Christmas concert.

“That theater is just a beautiful place, it has been fixed up nice and there is not a bad seat in the house.

It is a great place to do a show,” said Richard Sterban, bass singer for the Oak Ridge Boys. “Even more important than that, the people in the area are so special. We have a lot of friends and lot of fans in that northern Illinois area and they come out and treat us so well.

“We would not be what we are today without our fans and we enjoy to keep coming back and entertaining our fans.”

Sterban joined the quartet in 1972 when a phone call from William Lee Golden lured Stuben away from a pretty special job he had at the time.

“For about two years, I was in a group called J. D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet and about a year and a half of that time, I sang with the King of Rock and Roll. Back then, Elvis was the biggest star in the world and it was so special to be part of it.

I have some very fond memories of my time with Elvis. As a young man in my 20s and I never thought I would ever be in the same Hall of Fame as

In 1983, we established a friendship with him that lasted almost 35 years and we sang for [george h.w. bush] several times while he was president and even after he was out of office.

Elvis. We are also in the Gospel Hall of Fame with Elvis as well.

“I was apparently on top of the world and I got a phone call from William Lee Golden in 1972 and asked me if I wanted to be the bass singer for the Oak Ridge Boys. While it was very exciting singing with Elvis, I was a big fan of the Oak Ridge Boys, I believed they had a great deal of potential and I made a decision to leave Elvis and join the Oak Ridge Boys. Back then a lot of people questioned me, but I really believed I was doing the

right thing and I followed my heart and almost 48 years later, it turned out wonderful.”

The Oak Ridge Boys have had an amazing career that, in 2015 saw the group inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

“We have had many honors come our way over the years and at the top of the list has to be getting inducted into the country music Hall of Fame a little over four years ago. What a special thing that was,” Sterban said. “Elvis is in there, Johnny Cash is in there, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, the list goes on and on and on and for the Oak Ridge Boys to be in there and have our four faces there in bronze with Elvis, it is almost beyond words.”

This season, the Oak Ridge boys will be touring on a new Christmas album, “Oak Ridge Boys Down Home Christmas,” the eighth one they have released over three decades.

The album features their version of “Amazing Grace,” the lone nonChristmas song, but a song very near and dear to the band after singing it one year ago at the funeral of George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States.

“In 1983, we established a friendship with him that lasted almost 35 years and we sang for him several times while he was president and even after he was out of office. He always had to hear Amazing Grace

dents finish their six-week summer job in the Forest Preserves, they sound proud, inspired and ready for their next challenge.

“I like working here because I feel like I am making a difference in my community,” explained Ben Wolowitz, a senior who joined 50 other high school students last summer on crews that removed invasive brush and maintained trails near nature centers in forest preserves across Cook County.

The CCLC job program balances important service work with nature-based educational experiences, focused on inspiring a lifelong appreciation for nature. “I’m passionate about animals, and I think it’s important to learn about and protect where they live,” said senior Niana Smith, who also valued the team building and basic job skills training incorporated into each day. “Something I learned that will stick with me is how to work as a team and the importance of cooperation.”

During the CCLC season, participants work and learn 28 hours per week, with transportation and work clothing provided. All high school students or recent graduates aged 15 to 19 years old are eligible to earn $10 per hour to start—and up to $18 per hour if they return to the program in subsequent summers to take on a leadership position.

More than 700 students across Cook County have completed the CCLC program since 2009, gaining both critical experience for a career in conservation and the basic communication and cooperation skills needed to succeed in any job.

Next time you visit a Forest Preserves nature center, ask a staff member how CCLC students have made a difference at the site, from a bird garden at Sand Ridge to enhancing wildlife habitat removing invasive plants at Crabtree.

Positions go fast. Apply early!

CCLC recruitment starts in January and applications are usually due end of March.

The 2020 program runs from June 29–August 7.

Visit our Main Page and search “corps” for more information on CLCC and other conservation job programs, or write alice.brandon@cookcountyil.gov.

The CCLC program is managed in partnership with Friends of the Forest Preserves and the Student Conservation Association, with financial support provided by the Forest Preserve Foundation.

Should I cash in savings bonds? dear dave,

dave says by dave ramsey

@DaveRamsey daveramsey.com

My wife and I are following your plan, and recently we found some old savings bonds that had been given to her by her grandfather when she was a kid. Do you think we should go ahead and cash these in before they reach their final maturity date in a few months?

John

dear John, Absolutely! Every one of those savings bonds is accruing interest at the appropriate rate for the type of bond it is. The problem is every one of those rates stinks. I hate savings bonds.

We’re talking about some very low interest rates.

Another reason I don’t like savings bonds is they’re not financial instruments which cause you to be responsible with them. People lose them, they forget about them, and then

maybe they turn up in an old lock box somewhere down the road after making a whopping two or three percent.

Back in the day, they used to be positioned as patriotic and all that.

But who wants to finance the stuff this government does? We’re not supporting World War II anymore, you know? Cash them in, and depending on what Baby Step you’re on, put it toward your emergency fund, your debt snowball, retirement, your mortgage—just be proactive, and do

something better with the money!

dave dear dave, We have two preschool kids, and I’m a stay-at-home mom. My husband brings home about $2,500 a month, and our mortgage payment is $1,000 a month. Recently, we’ve had to tap into our savings in order to pay the bills. Should I go back to work?

There are a couple of reputable daycare centers near us, but I’m just not sure if this is the right thing to do.

lehr, ranallo headline 2019 football all-area team by mark gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Through the first seven games of the season, Notre Dame College Prep and Minooka were unbeaten and had themselves ranked among the elite teams in Class 8A. Both battled through difficult schedules, made history for their programs, and advanced to the IHSA playoffs, notching at least one win before being eliminated.

Both teams are also connected as they produced the 2019 Enterprise Publications Football Players of the Year.

ANTHONY RANALLO, LB NOTRE DAME DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR When the season ended for Notre Dame College Prep, it did so at the hands of eventual Class 8A state champion Lincoln-Way East, it did not end without a fight – especially by the vaunted Dons defense.

East won 23-13 but the Dons defense battled through short fields and facing the top-rated player in the state and blanked the Griffins

in the second half.

That defense allowed an average of 11.7 points per game of the season, holding its opponents to seven points or less five times and one shutout.

At the center of that defense was 6-foot, 190-pound senior linebacker Anthony Ranallo who posted a total of 107 tackles for the season, 24 tackles for loss, eight sacks, two forced fumbles, one interception and a pair of pass breakups.

For his stats and leadership on a talented defense, Ranallo was tabbed as Enterprise Publications 2019 Football Defensive Player of the Year.

One of the things that made Ranallo as good as he was is that no matter how well he and the team played, he always wanted more from himself.

“I have pretty high expectations of myself and I always feel like I can make an impact in any game I play in,” he said. “I feel like I could have done more.”

What he did do was help the Dons open the season 7-0 against a tough schedule.

“This was probably the hardest schedule Notre Dame has ever

played and we won seven games, but we felt we could have won every game,” Ranallo said. “We always play like we have a chip on our shoulder. It is the neighborhood that we are from. High School football means a lot to the neighborhoods on the northwest side of Chicago and we like to hang our hats on our defense.

“We played D-I players all year long and we took pride in it because none of us are getting recruited by big time schools, so we take pride in shutting those guys down.”

SETH LEHR, QB MINOOKA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR After the success it had in 2018 football season, and with several key players returning, Minooka knew this season could be special.

The Indians rolled off 11 straight wins, claiming the Southwest Prairie Conference West Division title with a win at Oswego and winning a pair of playoff games before falling at Brother Rice in the quarterfinals.

In the win over Oswego to complete a perfect regular season, it

was a late game touchdown drive led by senior quarterback Seth Lehr.

It was that leadership, accompanied by his stats, that makes Lehr the 2019 Enterprise Publications Football Offensive Player of the Year.

On the season, Lehr completed 137 of 197 pass attempts, good for a 70 percent completion percentage. He recorded 1,893 yards and threw for 16 touchdowns and only four interceptions – a passer rating of 117. On the ground, Lehr carried the football 101 times for 356 yards and eight scores.

He was named to the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Class 8A All-State First Team.

He accomplished all that in only 10 games after being knocked out of two games with a hard hit in week three.

“I don’t think there is a harder position to play in any sport than quarterback of the football team with all the things you need to know and everything you need to execute,” said Minooka coach John Belskis. “Seth had all the intangibles – he has an extremely

high football IQ, his leadership skills were second to none. I have been a lot of good ones and Seth ranks up there at the top of the best I have had the opportunity to coach.”

That leadership quality is something Lehr has possessed for a long time.

“At a young age, my parents always held me to a pretty high standard,” Lehr said. “I knew these guys listened to me and that they trusted me the way I trusted them and we were able to get things done. It was awesome having so many weapons that I could go to and having the big guys up front.

Coach put a lot of trust in my hands and developing the game to work 50/50 pass and run.”

Lehr said that while he didn’t pay attention to his individual stats throughout the season, he has been able to reflect after his Indian career as come to an end.

“I didn’t really pay attention to that during the season, but I have been looking here lately and I am pretty proud of that, especially developing and evolving from last

‘oak ridge’ from page 3 and not to long before he died, he asked us if we would sing at his funeral and we promised him,” Sterban said. “We were on our Christmas tour and we were in Spokane, Washington. After we did our Christmas show there, we went to the airport, got on a private jet that was donated to us by a very dear friend who we will forever be indebted to. We flew all night to Houston. We got there in time to freshen up and get to the church where we met George W. Bush and Jeb Bush and we sang Amazing Grace for President Bush. We then got back on the private jet and flew back to Washington to do another Christmas show. We did not miss a show and we kept our promise to President Bush. He always taught us to do the right thing and it was the right thing to do.

“Because of that, we included Amazing Grace on our Christmas album even though it is not a Christmas song.”

The Christmas concert also is not all sounds of the season, as the Oak Ridge Boys make sure to treat fans to some of their best hits from their historic career.

“It is a whole new approach

to Christmas, there will be songs from our new Christmas CD, but there will also be the traditional Christmas songs as well – it will be a nice balance,” Sterban said.

“We open the show with 35 or 40 minutes of regular music – including Elvira - then after intermission, we do a Christmas set where we cover every aspect of Christmas, the fun side, the romantic side and we have a great Santa Claus and he goes out and interacts with the kids. The show is kid friendly, so we encourage parents to bring families. Then we do a rocking chair segment where we sit on Cracker Barrel style rocking chair and each guy takes turns talking about childhood Christmas music, what Christmas means to us and we intersperse the talking with singing Christmas songs.

“After the rocking chair segment, we close with what we consider the most important part of the show and that is songs that deal with the real meaning of Christmas – the birth of Jesus and the importance of that in the world we live in today and a little bit of Jesus is not going to hurt anyone.”
