Police arrest three for vehicle burglaries at Plainfield forest preserve Suspects found, apprehended by tracing stolen credit card to Louis Joliet Mall After a series of vehicle burglaries at a Plainfield forest preserve, Forest Preserve District of Will County Police arrested three people July 28. The suspects – Sean Becker, 27, Marcellus Pretlow, 28, and Sarah Windish, 37, all of Crest Hill – were booked into the Will County Jail on multiple burglary to motor vehicle charges. The arrests were made after police received a call at around 7 p.m. July 28 from a woman who said someone broke her car window and stole her purse while her vehicle was parked at Lake Renwick Preserve’s Turtle Lake Access. Officers who arrived on the scene advised the victim to call her bank to see if any of her credit cards were being used. One card had been used at a shop in the Louis Joliet Mall. Police responded to the shop, and with the help of Joliet police and mall security the three
suspects were apprehended. Police believe the suspects may have been responsible for a series of vehicle break-ins in the Plainfield, northern Joliet and Shorewood areas in recent weeks. Individuals who believe they may have been victims of these crimes and police departments that are investigating similar incidents should contact Forest Preserve District police at 815722-9377.

Third annual Really, Really Free Market gives used goods a new lease By Andrea Earnest & Jonathan samples sentinel staff
news@enterprisepublications.com @PlainfieldNews
Plainfield residents were recently given the opportunity to declutter their homes and their lives, while also helping the earth and neighbors in need. The Plainfield United Methodist Church held its third annual Really, Really Free Market Aug. 1, and interested shoppers came from miles away to take advantage of some truly can’t-beat prices. Jennifer Williams of Dwight attended the event with her son, Christopher, and infant nephew. Williams said she heard about the event through Dwight United Methodist Church and thought it was a great way for people to share with each other. “I think this is great because it’s people helping people,” she said. Carol May, a member of the Plainfield United Methodist Church Green Team, said the main goals of the event are to help the environment, reduce clutter and help those in need. “Many items were donated and collected over the last few months,” she said. The Green Team helped collect donations from the community,

which included lamps, bedroom sets, electronics, dishes, towels, holiday decorations, clothes, toys and more. Those items were then redistributed at the market free of charge. Nelson Jimenez, Green Team volunteer and chairman of staff parish relations for Plainfield United Methodist Church, said 300 patrons had already attended the market, as of 11:30 a.m. the day of the event. And, the church was hopeful that number would continue to climb throughout the day. May said 300 hundred people attended the event in its first year and 500 people attended the second year. She hoped the number of attendees for the third year would reach 1,000. May got the idea to hold the market after she volunteered at
Sharefest New Lenox several years ago. After doing some research on the concept, she decided to bring the “free market” movement to Plainfield. “I felt I was being called by God to do something similar in Plainfield,” she said, noting the positive impact these events have on the environment. She presented the idea to another Green Team founding member, Char Baker, and the two made the idea a reality in 2013. As for the future of the free markets in the area, May said her goal is to help spread the movement. ”What I would like to see is for someone to hear about this and take this idea and implement this in their own community,” she said. “Then, I could retire happy.”

Rauner’s shutdown puts lives at risk ASSISTANT EDITOR

LAURA KATAUSKAS • MARK GREGORY • MIKE SANDROLINI
Dear Editor, As I speak with local families who are feeling the impact of Gov. Rauner’s reckless government shutdown, it is clear those who can least afford it are bearing the brunt of the pain and suffering. As we enter the hot days of August, many low-income families in Will County face dangerous conditions due to the slashing of the Low Income Energy Assistance Program and the termination of their utilities. I am disappointed Gov. Rauner and his allies are refusing to negotiate in good faith and work towards passing a fair and
responsible budget. His decision to hold the entire budgetary process hostage is putting thousands of lives at risk. Furthermore, the proposals put forth by the governor would be disastrous for residents across Illinois. Workers would not only face reduced wages, but also be one injury away from poverty. I cannot support these radical proposals, and I will continue fighting to protect the rights that helped build our middleclass. As the legislature continues to debate a full budget, I recently joined with my colleagues to pass a short-term budget to

At another press conference, Special Olympics Health programs announced that the Golisano Foundation gave them $25 million to help athletes across the world stay healthy.

Another big announcement – this one by Maria Shriver, journalist and daughter of Special Olympics’ founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver – is a new program from the Shriver Report, entitled “Insight Into Intellectual Disabilities in the 21st Century.” Shriver discussed the campaign, called “PLAY - Let’s Change The Game.” Its mission is to encourage all people to play, learn, accept and say “yes” together. The goal is to change the world to have common ground among people of all abilities.

Returns MLB hit king coming back to Silver Cross Field Aug. 19
By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
It has been more than a decade since Pete Rose has been to Silver Cross Field in downtown Joliet. Since then, the team has a new name, new owners and play in a new league, but still want the advice that comes with the Major League Baseball hit king. Rose will return to Joliet Wednesday, Aug. 19 as a special, one-day, hitting coach for the Joliet Slammers. “He has been here before when his son was playing, but he hasn’t been here in a while, so we are excited to bring him back,” said Slammers Assistant General Manager Heather Mills. Rose will be in uniform and coach first and third base for an inning for the Slammers as well as talking to the team before the first pitch. This will be Rose’s first on field appearance in uniform in the Chicagoland area since
1989. He will be available to meet and sign autographs with fans on the concourse for a $40 fee. Vouchers are needed for the autograph and must be purchased prior to the game. For those wanting an even closer experience, the event will open with a VIP meet and greet in the Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame. The meet and greet package costs $114 and will include a reserved seat ticket to the game, a Slammers baseball to be autographed by Rose, a photo of each participant with Rose, and the opportunity to hear a short speech by Rose. Regular ticket prices for the game are also different for this game, as club level tickets are $18, reserved are $15 and lawn seats are $10. The Slammers are expecting to see ticket sales increase, but that is not just the one-time

Lewis tabs Gillespie as next women’s basketball coach By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
Within minutes after former Lewis University women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen left for NIU, Director of Athletics Dr. John Planek had a resume on his desk from Kristen Gillespie. “Coach Carlsen’s press conference was at 11 and at 11 o’clock, Dr. Planek had my resume and a cover letter in an email,” she said. “As soon as it went live, it was sent.” On July 30, Lewis announced the hiring of Gillespie as the 12th head women’s basketball coach in school history. The name may sound familiar because Gillespie is the granddaughter of Lewis University and Joliet-area legend Gordie Gillespie, who was Director of Athletics, head basketball and baseball coach at Lewis. “The name Gillespie at Lewis University is synonymous with coaching excellence and now Kristen will be able to add to that legacy,” Planek said. “We feel that the success of our programs have made Lewis a very desirable destination for coaches. Her experience as a player and coach at multiple levels with a strong knowledge of the Chicagoland recruiting market made her a very formidable candidate. We are very excited to welcome Kristen to our campus.” There was a reason Gillespie had her resume sent in as soon as the opening became official. “This was a position that I have dreamed of since I broke into the coaching profession,” Gillespie said. “I would like to thank Dr. Planek and the administration for giving me this incredible opportunity and the selection committee for making me feel so welcome during the

I know I am where I belong and I hope I can be here for a very long time. “I’ve known from a young age just how special Lewis is. To be able to coach at the University where my grandfather started his collegiate coaching career is extremely humbling. I know he is looking down with a big smile right now.” Her grandfather is not the only coaching legend Gillespie learned from Gillespie was a four-year letter winner and three-year captain for the legendary coach Kay Yow from 1996-99. As a junior, she was NC
State’s starting point guard on the 1998 NCAA Final Four squad and she was also selected as a Honorable Mention Academic All-American the following year as a senior. After stops as an assistant coach at both Central Florida (1999-2000) and UC Santa Barbara (200002), she returned to NC State as a graduate assistant under Yow. After two seasons coaching Maclay School in Tallahassee, Fla. , she returned to Yow’s staff as a full-time assistant coach and corecruiting coordinator.

As a leading tenor, Cornelison’s talents took him around the world while performing for various opera companies in places such as London, Brussels, Bordeaux, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami and Hawaii.

gillespie | from page 10 Yow’s death brought Gillespie back to Illinois, where she was able to spend years with her grandfather before he passed. “After a pretty devastating loss in my life when Coach Yow passed away of breast cancer and they got rid of our staff, I thought it was really a tough pill to swallow,” Gillespie said. “But, God put me back in the Midwest, where I got to spend six years with my grandfather and get really close with him.” She comes to Lewis on the heels of a four-year run at Division III Benedictine in Lisle, where she was the head coach. Last season, she led the Eagles

She guided Benedictine to four-straight Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Tournament appearances. Prior to her becoming head coach in Lisle, Gillespie spent two seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the University of Illinois at Chicago from 2009-11.

93-yard par 3 seventh features a creek and trees blocking shots to the right.
open play Deer Valley is a course playable by players of all skill levels Tucked away in Big Rock, Illinois is Deer Valley Golf Course. The course is a nine holes and for the most part a par-3 course, although a couple of the holes are short par-4s. It is owned by the Forest Preserve of Kane County and offers up both trees and creeks and lakes, which come into play. The first hole opens with a 147-yard hole that is pretty straightforward. There are bunkers on both sides of the green that come into play. The second hole plays at just 116 yards. There is a creek in front of the tee box, but that will only come into play with a grounder off the tee. The green slopes sharply from back to front, making the putt very slow back up the hill. There is also a right to left slope on the green. Next is the third hole, which plays at 151 yards. The tee shot
plays over a pond, but it, too doesn’t come into play much unless there is a grounder or a chunky drive. There is a slope left of the green that leads to balls falling off the taylor’s take green. by scott taylor The fourth hole is a par4 that plays at 220 yards. It is a straight hole with a tree in front of the green and another one just behind the green. I managed to hit the tree well in front of the green hard and it went all the way into the pond on No. 3. Hole No. 5 is a great one. It is a 211-yard par-4 that is uphill to a blind pin. There is a periscope next to the tee so you can see where the hole is. It is a tight drive
as well as there are trees on both sides to make you hit it straight. The sixth hole plays at 135 yards and there is a bunker over the green. The green is an oval shape with lots of different breaks to it. The seventh hole is the signature hole. At just 94 yards, it plays over a creek as the creek is also to the right of the hole. To the left is a forest. You hit your shot to a tiny green as well, making it a harder course than the distance makes you think. The eighth hole is 136 yards and is slightly uphill. It has an oval green similar to the sixth hole. Hole No. 9 is 143 yards with a creek in front of the green, which makes players take an extra club to be sure they can clear the green. The problem with that is the two-tiered green, so a shot on the back or over the green has to go back down the slope, making it a tough par. Deer Valley costs just $13 to play nine holes on a weekday and $14 on a weekend. For all days there is a replay for just $9. It is $7 each for a twosome to ride a cart or $13 for one person. There are
also different specials to make the deal even sweeter. This course is one of those great courses for those learning the game. The environment is relaxed and there isn’t a ton of trouble on the course. However, it isn’t just for those learning the game. It is great for fine-tuning your iron and short game as well. It also offers some nice, unique holes to play that offer a stiff challenge. The course was in great shape. The greens were in great shape, although they were slower than any I have played this year. ou can also play the round in an hour, or 18 holes in two hours, so it is a great way to get a quick round of golf in. The greens are about the smallest you will see on a course, so that helps to fine-tune both your iron play and your chipping. While this course may be tucked away between Yorkville and Sugar Grove, it is a fun course to visit, whether you are honing your skills, learning the game or just looking for a quick, relaxing round of golf.
Overview deer valley gc Location: Big Rock, Illinois best feature: A great course to hone your iron game or for new players to learn the game. quick tip: Be precise on the short tee shots as the greens are small targets.

Since we released this, we have had a lot of people coming out who have never been here before. We are looking forward to showing what we have to people who love baseball.” During his playing days, Rose played 24 seasons with the Red,
Phillies and Expos. He holds the record for most hits in a career with 4,256 as well as the record for most career singles (3,215), games played (3,562), at-bats (14,053), and plate appearances (15,890). During his career, he was a Rookie of the Year, a 17 time All Star, , MVP, World Series MVP, and three time World Series Champion. He was banned from baseball and is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown because he bet on baseball.

Mills said the Slammers jumped on the chance to bring one of the best and most controversial players in history to Joliet. “He has been talking to the Commissioner recently about being reinstated and when we realized he was available to come out here, we jumped on it,” Mills said. “He has been to a couple of the stadiums in our league, but nobody in the Chicago area in independent ball had had him.”

Will-Grundy Medical Clinic to receive award Clinic will receive award Oct. 25
The Joliet Franciscan Sisters announced they will present the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic with the Mother Alfred Moes Award at their 26th annual Franciscan Autumn Feast fundraiser Oct. 25. The Mother Alfred Moes Award honors the spirit that exists in someone who has a vision
and determination just as the foundress of the Congregation, Mother Alfred, embodied. Like Mother Alfred, honorees are individuals who saw a need and responded to it by using their gifts of time, talent or treasure to transform that vision into service. The Will-Grundy Medical Clinic is receiving this award because of its efforts to meet the needs of the uninsured in Will and Grundy Counties. Although the Affordable Care Act was
implemented, there are still tens of thousands of uninsured in the two-county area alone. The mission of the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic is to provide free health services to people in Will and Grundy counties who are unable to receive care from other sources, and to provide these services through volunteers and staff, in alliance with other community agencies and health care providers to promote a healthy community.
