County lauded for Financial Reporting for 17 consecutive years GOFA awarded Will County the Certificate of Achievement for 2017 CAFR The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded Will County with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its 2017 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of government accounting and financial reporting and it represents a significant accomplishment by Will County and its management.

day financial operations of Will County government,” said County Executive Larry Walsh. “I am proud that each year Will County is able to operate with a balanced budget while providing quality services for our residents.”

Will County submitted its 2017 CAFR which was then judged by an impartial panel based upon the high standards of the program which includes demon-

strating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure’ and clearly communicating its financial story.

This is the 17th year, the county has received this award.

“Will County consistently has maintained a AA+ bond rating which is directly related to our strong financial management and stewardship of county funds,” Walsh said. “This favorable rating helps the county se-

cure competitive bond rates to fund our large scale projects: the public safety complex, the county courthouse, and the new health department. I am proud Will County remains fiscally responsible.”

The county has received the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting every year beginning with the statements for fiscal year

2001. Prior to moving the day to day accounting and the financial statement preparation up to the finance department in the County Executive’s office, the Auditor’s office was responsible for those functions and they received the award on behalf of the county.

The first year that the financial statements were prepared in the finance department under the County Executive was for fiscal year 2009.

The Government Finance Officers Association is a professional association that serves the needs of nearly 19,000 appointed and elected officials and other finance practitioners in local, state, and provincial-level government.

The association, headquartered in Washington D.C., provides top quality products and services to enhance the skills and performance of those responsible for government finance policy and management.

How the U. of I wound up in Champaign-Urbana

BY TOM KACICH OF THE (CHAMPAIGN) NEWSGAZETTE ChampaignUrbana owes its prominence to the University of Illinois, and the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign owes its existence to Clark Robinson Griggs. If it hadn’t been for Griggs — probably the greatest political operator in Champaign County’s history — the U of I or, as it was then known, the Illinois Industrial University, would have been located in Jacksonville, Lincoln, Bloomington or perhaps Chicago.

Yet, there is no Griggs Hall at the university, no statues of Griggs on campus.

Even in Urbana, where he served a year as mayor, there is only a four-block-long street that bears his name.

One can only guess why Griggs’ name has been forgotten by all but the history books. Perhaps the university is just a little ashamed of the man who could be called its father.

You see, Griggs was a bit of a scoundrel.

Much of the story of Griggs’ delightfully sly effort comes from an interview he gave to Allan Nevins (who later became known as the father of oral histories) shortly before his death.

Historians have disputed some details of Griggs’ story, but there seems little doubt that he was an operator who would fit well in today’s Statehouse.

Griggs was a Massachusetts native who came to Champaign County in 1859. He purchased land north of Philo on Yankee Ridge, a place so named because of all the New Englanders who settled there.

At the start of the Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army and served as a sutler, a man who sold food and drink to soldiers.

After the war, Griggs was elected to the Illinois House. He had already served two terms in the Massachusetts Legislature and apparently had learned a lot there about political maneuvering.

Griggs went to Springfield a freshman lawmaker who didn’t act like one.

In a 1915 interview shortly before his death, Griggs told Nevins how he helped bring the university to a swampy, sparsely settled community.

It started with $40,000 appropriated by the supervisors of Champaign and Urbana townships and Griggs’ decision to travel most of the state (everywhere but Jacksonville, Lincoln and Bloomington), meet with other state representatives and build support for Champaign-Urbana.

In five weeks, he said, he interviewed 40 House members and gained pledges from 15 of them.

Next, he met with the governor and lieutenant governor and with the chairmen of the state Republican and Democratic parties. In those conversations he learned that the postwar Legislature would be occupied with a number of special interests.

Southern Illinois wanted a prison; Peoria and Springfield were fighting over which would be the state capital, and Chicago wanted to deepen the Chicago River and develop a system of parks and boulevards. Such knowledge would be important in future vote-trading.

When the Legislature went into session in January 1867, the Champaign County Committee moved into Springfield’s Leland Hotel, where for the next three months it held the principal reception room and a suite of parlors and bedrooms. The rooms were used to entertain legislators and their constituents with either drinks, light refreshments or sumptuous dinners of oysters or quail.

Lawmakers were supplied with cigars and theater tickets. Late in the session, Griggs arranged for a special train to take legislators to Champaign-Urbana.

None of the other communities seeking the university had a similar arrangement.

Inside the House Chambers, Griggs showed his skill by running for speaker.

For two days, the House was tied up in endless voting. On the night after the second day, an intermediary visited Griggs and asked what it would take to

get him to drop out of the race. Griggs wanted the chairmanship of the Committee on Agriculture and Mechanic Arts — the committee that would hear all the bills about locating the university — and the right to choose its members.

He got it, dropped out of the race for speaker and thus was able to control the legislation.

As the session progressed, advocates for the other communities, particularly Jacksonville, wondered why the university location legislation wasn’t being heard in the committee.

Griggs would explain that he had called the committee together but that he couldn’t get a quorum. Then he’d publically announce another committee meeting but privately tell its members not to show up.

This went on until late in the session when Griggs was convinced he had the votes. Finally, on Feb. 20, the legislation — which named Champaign as the site of the university — reached the floor.

An amendment was made to substitute Jacksonville for Champaign. It failed 61-20.

Another motion was made to substitute Normal. It failed 58-26.

A third motion was made to insert Lincoln for Champaign. It failed 60-21.

Then the legislation naming Champaign was put to a vote and was approved 67-10. The Senate followed suit Feb. 25.

Three days later, Gov. Richard Oglesby signed the legislation.

Opponents charged that Griggs had bought legislators with a “slush fund.”

Jonathan Turner, who had sought the university for Jacksonville, said the Legislature had exhibited “a degree of corruption, hypocrisy, drunkenness and debauchery unparalleled in the history of Illinois.”

The state wasn’t even 50 years old. A much greater history of corruption lay ahead.

Rialto hosts Memorial Tribute, Tree Lighting Ceremony Joliet Area Community Hospice celebrated its 13th annual Lights of Love ceremony celebrating the lives of those who have passed away

BY RYAN OSTRY Bugle Staff @RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

Last Wednesday at the Rialto Theatre in Joliet, the Lights of Love Memorial Tribute and Tree Lighting Ceremony took place honoring those who have lost love ones.

Hosted by the Joliet Area Community Hospice, hundreds of grieving family and friends came to celebrate their loved ones, honoring the wonderful lives they lived, while affecting those around them.

Families who wanted to participate in the ceremony bought ornaments and tickets to the Rialto, with the phrase ‘Remember with Love’ on the symbolic ornament that was hung on the tree.

“It’s the beginning of the holiday season and people just want to remember their loved ones,” said Mary Ann Burns, Director of Bereavement services. “Tonight is the night where they get to re-

member them and talk about them and honor their lives.”

The ceremony concluded its 13th year remembering those who have been lost, with Burns also attributing this healing hand to the music therapists who play while the families walked on stage hanging up their ornaments.

“There are tears, but there is laughter too because the most that’s the most important part of bereavement,” Burns said. “These people lived, and we get to honor them and rejoice in all of their names.”

After the ornament hanging was concluded, the poem ‘For That I Am Thankful” was recited, followed by a memorial video tribute and a musical tribute.

“For families facing their first holidays without their loved ones, it’s a great way to come together to be there for one another,” said Patrice Martin, Bereavement Manager. “Everyone is integrated and helping each other through this.”

CALENDAR November 30 Holly Days Winter Ball. From

6:30 to 11 p.m., join the community for a wonderful dinner, dancing, live entertainment and a silent auction at the Annual Winter Ball. The Westmont Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau hosts this event and will be held at the Hilton Chicago/Oakbrook Hills Resort & Conference Center.

DECEMBER 1 TAGOL’s second annual kids holiday art show, 6-9 p.m. at Hosted by The Flower of Life Art Gallery, 1601 S. State Street,

One thing that has resonated with Burns is that she can relate to the families who participated in the ceremony, because she as well has experienced loss in her life.

“My husband died around four years ago and I have family mem-

bers who also have come together to celebrate him tonight,” Burns said.

For local participant Robert Kirk, attending the ceremony meant he could celebrate the passing of his loved one, while

still celebrating his loved ones that he has around him.

“My mother-in-law passed away just this past August, so it has been hard but we wanted to be here tonight especially with the holidays around the corner to celebrate a great person,” Kirk said. “Reflection and closure are the two things we we’ve truly come here for, and anytime you lose a loved one you have to find a reason what you were truly thankful for with them and the people you still have in your life.”

For another participant, Joe Gonzalez, he also said that the ceremony was highly important to him because of impact his mother-in-law and father-inlaw had in his life, while thanking them for raising a wonderful daughter.

“My mother-in-law and fatherin-law gave me unconditional love and accepted me in their family, while raising a wonderful daughter and always making me like part of the family,” Gonzalez said. “It has really given us a chance to slow down in everyday life and honor them and remember who they were, while cherishing the moments we had to spend with them.”

PROFESSIONAL

GRADE Mistwood Golf Club aims to attract more women and junior girls to the game of golf with addition of Jeray

She will use her experience and knowledge of the game in focusing on attracting more women and junior girls to golf through Mistwood’s award winning Performance Center.

Jeray, a native of Chicago who won eight events while playing collegiate golf at Northern Illinois University and was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 2002, first qualified for the LPGA Tour in 1994. She competed globally as a professional for over two-decades including qualifying for three U.S. Women’s Open Championships (1997, 2001, and 2010) and two British Opens (2005, 2006).

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Mistwood ever since they began hosting the Illinois Women’s Open in 1998,” Jeray said. “Once the renovations were completed and the amazing Performance Center was added, I could not imagine the opportunity to teach the game at a better facility. Combine that with the new awardwinning renovated golf course, the amazing teaching staff and programs they offer, I couldn’t be more excited.”

Jeray is looking forward to attracting more women and girls to the game she loves.

“To be able to pay it forward and share my experiences with women and girls and teaching them the game in a fun envi-

ronment at a great facility is a dream come true,” she said.

“I am also eager to be part of Mistwood’s Committed Athlete Program (CAP), the elite junior program that prepares high school golfers for collegiate and tournament golf.”

Jeray has started teaching at the Mistwood Golf Dome in Bolingbrook, which has become the premier golf dome in Chicago with the recent addition of Toptracer Range. The Mistwood Performance Center staff moves its teaching operations and CAP programs from Mistwood Golf Club to the Dome for the winter months.

She will move to Mistwood Golf Club in the spring where she will be further developing teaching programs geared toward women and girls.

“We are very excited to have someone with Nicole’s playing and teaching experience in the game of golf be part of Mistwood,” General Manager Dan Bradley said. “Women and young girls are the fastest growing segments in the game of golf and we wanted to make sure we were actively creating opportunities for them to experience the game and become future golfers.

“Nicole is the perfect ambassador for Mistwood and Chicago to grow that segment of the game.”

COLLEGE

Flyers upset defending champions Lewis’ men’s basketball team knocked off the defending national champion and 14th ranked Ferris State 87-79 on Saturday afternoon at Neil Carey Arena.

Kendale McCullum (Elgin, Ill./ Elgin Larkin) led the Flyers (4-1) with 20 points while Donovan Oliver (Kewanee, Ill./Kewanee) added 19 points and Delaney Blaylock (Wyoming, Mich./Godwin Heights) dropped in 13.

Lewis shot 51.4 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes and led by as many as 11 points at 39-28 after a three-pointer from Oliver with 6:40 to go in the opening half.

The Bulldogs (5-3) cut the lead to 43-37 after a pair of free throws from Mason Pline with 4:16 left in the half.

The Flyers extended their lead back to nine thanks to five straight points from Frank Vukaj (Davison, Mich./Davison) and Adam Pischke (Cary, Ill./Marian Central Catholic).

Vukaj started the run with a dunk and was fouled on the play and hit the free throw and then Pischke hit a layup after a steal from Vukaj.

Ferris State cut the lead to 46-43 with six straight points but Blaylock countered with a three with

1:08 remaining in the half to push the lead back to six points.

The Bulldogs evened things at 49 with back-to-back threes from D’angelo Hughes and Armani Tinsley to send the teams to the locker room tied at the intermission.

Ferris State was able to overcome Lewis’ hot shooting by shooting 48 percent from the three-point line and shot 73 percent at the foul line.

The Bulldogs also had a 19-to15 edge on the glass.

The Flyers used a 12-5 run over a four minute stretch early in the second half to turn a one-point deficit into a 66-60 lead on layup from McCullum with 13:24 left in the contest.

Lewis stretched its lead to as many as seven after a three-pointer from McCullum but Ferris State battled back thanks to a 16-9 run to tie the game at 78 with less than five minutes to play.

Neither side scored for the next 2:15 until McCullum hit a driving layup to put Lewis back in front 80-78 with 2:30 to play.

The Bulldogs had a chance to tie the score again on the ensuing possession but Taylor Adway made only 1-of-2 at the line to

keep the Flyers in front.

Anthony D’Avanzo (Harwood Heights, Ill./Notre Dame) extended the lead hitting a jumper from near the top of the key with 2:03 remaining.

Lewis got back-to-back stops on the defensive end and Ferris State was forced to foul.

Blaylock hit 1-of-2 at the charity stripe to push the lead to 83-79 and then after another stop Adam Pischke (Cary, Ill./Marian Central Catholic) hit two free throws with 0:07 left to put the Flyers up 85-79.

After another turnover, D’Avanzo iced the game hitting two free throws for the final margin.

Lewis finished the game shooting 52.4 percent (33-for-63) from the floor, it was 10-of-18 (56 percent) from three and shot 79 percent (11-for-14) at the foul line.

Oliver was 8-for-8 from the field including 3-of-3 from three.

The Flyers outscored the Bulldogs 38-to-16 in the paint and 18to-16 in points off turnovers.

Ferris State ended the game shooting 23-for-57 (40.4 percent) from the floor, shot 46 percent (11of-24) from three and hit 22-of-33 free throws (67 percent).

It outrebounded Lewis 32-to31 in the contest and its bench

outscored the Flyers 45-to-19.

Jaylin McFadden led four Bulldogs in double figures with 15 points.

IHSA FOOTBALL

Hilltoppers win 14th state championship

BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

CHAMPAIGN — The last time Joliet Catholic and Montini met in the Illinois High School state championship game, it was the Hilltoppers’ No. 32 that ran all over the Broncos.

Saturday it was the same story, only with a different ending.

In 2011, the runner inside the jersey was Ty Isaac, who pounded out a state title game record 515 yards in JCA’s 70-45 loss to the Broncos on Zuppke Field at Memorial Stadium on the campus of the University of Illinois.

This year, No. 32 in Hillmen brown and white was Nick Iannantone, who tallied 318 yards and three touchdowns on a Class 5A championship game record 40 carries that dominated Montini.

This time, however, JCA won the game 35-27, as the Hilltoppers increased their state-record state titles to 14.

Iannantone was only the third player in IHSA history to carry the football 40 or more times in a state championship game, joining El Paso’s Derek Hunsinger (Class 1A, 42 carries, 2002) and Althoff Catholic’s Hickey Thompson (Class 3A, 41 carries, 1990).

Iannantone’s performance came in front of Isaac, who was on the sidelines for the game.

“Ty was one of the greatest athletes to ever come through our school and to hear him tell me I am a good football player and that I remind him of him back in the day is pretty good to hear,” Iannantone said.

This wasn’t the first appearance for Isaac this season.

“Ty is a great kid and is waiting on his opportunity with the AAFL to start and he has been out at practice a bunch of times and he doesn’t do too much as far as fundamentals and that is awesome coming from Ty because he has a great personality and all these kids and grown up hearing about Ty. He is a legend to these kids and he doesn’t act that way – he jumped right in like he is a high school kid.”

The win was the first ever for JCA against Montini in the state playoffs.

“This win isn’t just for us and the coaches,” Iannantone said. “It

is for everyone that came before us that should have had one and didn’t. It is for the community and the alumni and all those guys that played in this game and finished on the other end and didn’t get it.”

Iannantone was asked to carry the load for JCA after running back Keenan Hailey went out with an injured ankle in the second quarter and was on crutches at halftime.

“When he went down, coach Jaws [Jake Jaworski] told me to keep pounding, I kept my composure,” Iannantone said. “I was getting tired, but I just gave it my all.”

Iannantone had 14 of his carries in the third quarter and 16 in total before Hailey shed the crutches came back in the game.

“He tapped me on the shoulder in the fourth quarter and said he was ready to go,” Jaworski said. “I looked for Dr. (Raymond) Meyer and he said he was ready, so we put him back in.”

Hailey was a bit of a decoy in the beginning, but then got back in the mix and with 3 minutes, 28 seconds remaining in the game, broke free for a 30-yard touchdown – the final score of the game.

“The trainers knew how much this game meant to me and they didn’t want to take it away from me. They said it was up to me,” Hailey said.

The touchdown run gave Hailey 98 yards for the game and 2,639 yards on the season, putting him ahead of Isaac’s 2011 mark of 2,629 for the school’s all-time leader in rushing yards in a season.

After Hailey’s score, his second of the game, Montini had one more chance to score and tie the game on a 2-point conversion, but the JCA defense held and ultimately ended the game on an Andrew Gorski interception as time expired.

“Wow, what a finish,” Jaworski said. “What an exciting game.

When you think about Joliet Catholic and Montini in the state championship, you think of something coming down right to the wire.

“I am extremely proud of these guys. They have been leaving it on the field for 14 weeks now and sometimes it didn’t always look like there was light at the end of the tunnel, but these guys believed and we got in the playoffs and confidence soared from there. We

We knew we had some pieces coming up and we had some guys up front. The coaches felt at the beginning of the year that if we could get into the playoffs, we could be right where we are right now.”

Montini was paced by University of Illinois recruit Nick Fedanzo who posted 189 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries.

“These guys have been there all

year and we had great senior leadership all year,” said Monitin coach Mike Bukovsky. “The senior class had 18 boys come out for freshman football. so they have been through a lot and have stuck together. We have nothing to handg our heads about. We played a solid game, they just made a few more plays than we did. I can tell you, there is no quit in our guys, we fought to the end and sometimes

you just have to make another play or two and we couldn’t get that done at the end.

“A lot of people did not think we would be in the position we were.

It was a goal of ours, buit it is a goal every season — it is what we do at Montini. I am very proud of how we played and a few years from now they will be a lot more proud of it, right now it is just a tough pill to swallow.”
