“We don’t just teach racing around here,” Kester said. “I want everyone to have fun,” he adds. “If you are not having fun, we will quit what we are doing.”

Debra Daniels will be Joliet Junior College’s president through February 2017. The members of the college’s board of trustees voted 4-3 during their May 6 meeting to add another two years to her current DEBRA DANIELS PRESIDENT OF contract. Daniels makes about JOLIET JUNIOR $196,000 a year. The COLLEGE extension included a raise of about 3.3 percent, the same amount that recently had been given to other administrators, said Board Chairman Andy Mihelich. Daniels was president of San Bernardino Valley College in California in late 2011 when she was chosen as president. She replaced Gena Proulx who had died earlier that year. When Daniels was hired, she signed a threeyear deal. She had one year remaining in that term when the board voted to approve the two-year extension. Although there was absolutely no discussion of the contract during the Tuesday meeting, it seemed the board members were somewhat divided on the issue.The female board members – Susan Klen, Barbara Adams and Tina Markley – voted for the two-year extension. >> SEE EXTENDED | PAGE 2

(From Top, going clockwise) Among those climbing the rock wall was 6 year old Alexis Dahl of Joliet. Jaime Berry, 5, of Plainfield was getting her face painted. Coming from Lisle with his daughters, Marissa and Bekkah, Tomas Gebe said this was the first time they participated in the ride, and they really enjoyed it. More than 1,500 people registered to Ride the Rock. T-shrts were given to the first 1000 people to check-in.

Trustee Jeff May was the only male trustee to vote for the new deal. Mihelich, Michael O’Connell and Robert Wunderlich voted against it. After the meeting, Mihelich did not have anything to say about the split along gender lines. “No, we are not going there,” Mihelich said, smiling. The board had talked about the extension of Daniels’ contract during several recent executive sessions,Mihelich said. Those are closed-door meetings that the public is not allowed to attend, and only certain subjects, including personnel matters and litigation, can be discussed at that time. During the executive sessions, there was some disagreement among the trustees about Daniels’ contract, Mihelich said. “Four board members wanted a two-year (contract), and the other three wanted a one-year,” he explained. “We are pleased to have Dr. Daniels as our president,” Mihelich said, adding that though the board members disagreed, they still could move forward together. When the meeting ended Tuesday, Daniels quickly left the room and did not say anything about the extension. Kelly Rohder, the college’s director of communications and external relations, explained the president had to attend another meeting.

Village Garage sale keeps on giving More than 100 bags of clothes donated to Restoration Christian Church Crisis Center Following its annual Villagewide Garage Sale held the last weekend in April, the residents of Shorewood and the Village’s Public Works Department coordinated a charity donation that resulted in over 100 bags of clothing finding a new home at the Restoration Christian Church crisis center to benefit local families in need.

After the Sale ended,participants placed their filled bags at the

The clothing was taken to Restoration Christian Church, the site of Shorewood’s local food pantry. In addition to maintaining a food give-away program, the pantry assists with clothing needs for families in crisis and continuing need. Sharon Marve, one of the centers outreach directors, was on hand to accept the donation and expressed her thanks to Shorewood’s generous residents. “Thank you so much for all of this,” said Marve.

Bettye Gavin takes County aerial photo issue will see seat on City Council the light in upcoming discussions New representative receives warm welcome from fellow members By Stewart Warren For the bugle

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

Monday should have been declared Bettye Gavin day. Because, quite simply, it was. Just before the Joliet City Council workshop meeting began on Monday, Gavin walked through the council chambers, smiling and greeting people. Her family, friends, colleagues and other well-wishers jammed the large room, and she had a word for each person. Everyone seemed to be taking pictures. In just a few minutes, Gavin would take the oath of office and become the newest representative of Joliet’s district 4. But first things first. Will County Board Member Denise Winfrey arrived, smiled with delight and gave Gavin a huge hug. Then former Joliet Police Chief Mike Trafton appeared and began pinning a corsage on the lapel of Gavin’s fire-engine-red suit jacket. But it’s often difficult to attach flowers to fabric. So Geraldine Littlepage, first vice president of the National Hookup of Black Women, took over, making sure that the decoration was just so.

When the meeting began,it was standing-room-only. Will County Judge Ray Bolden met Gavin at the front of the room and swore her into office. The crowd gave her a standing ovation. “Wow,” Gavin said, and then she immediately apologized. She’d written a short speech, lost her notes and now didn’t want to forget to acknowledge anyone. She’d have to wing it. Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante, the man who had chosen her to replace former Councilwoman Susie Barber, was first on her thank-you list. He had the courage to choose her for the job, and she truly appreciated it, Gavin said. Then she gave credit to a higher power. “Allow me to thank God for this awesome opportunity,” Gavin said. “It’s an amazing opportunity to stand and sit in the people’s seat.” She went on to thank Ruby Williams, her mentor at the National Hookup for Black Woman.“This is the lady who will not let me sit,” Gavin said. Then she gave credit to her husband, the man who shared her with the community, Gavin said. After thanking a long list of people, Gavin said she was done. “Without further ado, I will close my mouth now, as you will hear from me,” she said, as everyone laughed.

When something like that has come up in the past, Brooks said he and Moustis have talked about it before the meeting. As such, he added he did not have time to caucus with his fellow Democrats before the Executive Committee vote. Brooks and Board Member Reed Bible, D-Plainfield, were the only two to vote against moving the issue to the full board. Brooks said he also was surprised at the vote because Assistant State’s Attorney Mary Tatroe, who attends many of the board’s meetings, told Moustis she didn’t know whether the Moustis and the Executive Committee had the authority to bring up the issue for a vote after a committee had rejected it. Asked by a reporter Tuesday following the Judicial

“But the vote of the Judicial Committee was not changed or reversed by the Executive Committee. Instead, after much discussion, the members of the Executive Committee simply voted to move the issue forward to the full County Board.” Committee’s defeat of the proposal, Tatroe said the issue was over and did not have to go to the Executive Committee or the full board, as would staff recommendations for a land use issue. Brooks later learned from Tatroe the Executive Committee sets the agenda for the County Board and can supersede any committee decision. To which Brooks asked: “Then why have committees?” Initially, Balich wanted the county to ban the use of aerial photography in all cases, but he learned there are problems with that. For one, Illinois law allows the use of aerial photography in court cases, so long as the photos are taken no lower than several hundred feet to ensure privacy. As such, those photos, sometimes used by police, are admissible in court, and at other times for other reasons by Will County Emergency Management and 9-1-1 officials. The county’s Geographic Information Systems Department contracts for aerial photographs of the entire county every two years for mapping purposes. The photos are available to all through the county’s website. Balich believes some zoning infractions must have been caught by county officials through aerial photography because they were not noticeable from street level. Will County Land Use Director Curt Paddock has said repeatedly his department does not use aerial photography to initiate a complaint, only in very rare cases to confirm a zoning infraction. >> to see the full version of this story, check out buglenewspapers.com

By Stewart warren For the bugle

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

When Robert E. Hamilton opened his engineering firm, he joined the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It was May 1, 1955. The office was actually the kitchen table inside his apartment on Whitley Avenue in Joliet. He was the sole employee. It was a modest beginning to be sure. Now, as the chamber and

its members celebrate its 100th anniversary this year, the firm is much bigger and housed in a suite of offices at 3230 Executive Drive, Joliet. It’s an international concern with offices not only in Joliet but also in Trinidad and Tobago.Yet at least one thing remains the same. “We’ve always been members of the chamber,” said Howard Hamilton, Robert E. Hamilton’s son. Like his father,Howard Hamilton is a civil engineer. The company now specializes in serving local and state governments, and is handling two big jobs for the Illinois Tollway Authority. One involves the Move Illinois infrastructure program. “When you build a road, it has to go on land, and someone owns it,” Howard Hamilton said. “We survey the land to determine where the road should go and who the property owners are. Then we work with appraisers and negotiate to determine a fair price.” The company also is working

He’s also vice chairman of the governmental affairs committee. On Tuesday, he’ll travel to Springfield with other members of the chamber to meet with the governor, state senators and state legislators to talk with them about issues that are important to Will County. They’ll discuss the proposed Illiana Expressway, the importance of timely state

payments to local nonprofit groups and pension reform, among other matters. Through his chamber work, Howard Hamilton has developed important relationships with state leaders, and that’s been good for his business. “In my work, I have had to call people in Springfield when there are issues affecting my projects, or funding issues affecting my clients,” he said. “I can call them and speak to them one-on-one because of my work with the chamber.”

Ladies take the track at Autobahn Each month during racing season is a half day event called Ladies’ Day By Kris Stadalsky for the bugle/sentinel

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @buglenewspapers

Racing is a male-dominated sport. But at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, there are ample opportunities for women of all skill levels to participate in events that get the blood coursing through their veins. Each month during racing season is a half day event called Ladies’ Day. It’s an opportunity for female club members to try their hand at driving skills, from keeping a skid car on the right path to running the track in one of the many Autobahn fleet cars - from a Porsche Cayman to a BMW M2 series. Sally Bagley of Shorewood has been an Autobahn member with husband Tom since before the club broke ground on the track. Tom, a former Indy car and Formula Super B driver, is director of racing instruction and track safety at the Autobahn. Sally and Tom became involved in racing at Penn State when

they were in college in the late 1960s. They both started with autocross competitions and Sally Bagley’s love for racing -- be it on the autocross, go-karts or the race track -- has not waned over the years. “My favorite event is the gokart track,” said Bagley. “I like to drive to improve my skills; I have a desire to perfect them. I know it can be driven with very little braking if you are driving the proper lines.” Bagley has been going to ladies days at the Autobahn since the events began. She’s always the first to encourage women members to come out and give it a try, or to bring along family or friends to try a bit of racing. “Some of the ladies don’t come out on a regular basis,” Bagley said. “This gives everybody an opportunity to get to know other members better. It sort of pools us together.” At last Saturday’s Ladies’ Day, a group of women first sat down in one of the classrooms as driving instructor Tony Kester explained the maneuvers they would be performing and the safety reasons behind them. Kester corrects some common misconceptions about things like seat positions, mirror placement and where your hands hold

the steering wheel. While the information is definitely useful on the race track, it’s even more useful for everyday safe driving, Kester said. The braking maneuvers, skid car and slalom course will help with accident avoidance in the real world. At the Autobahn, they can be practiced in a safe environment. “We don’t just teach racing around here,” Kester said. “I want everyone to have fun,” he adds. “If you are not having fun, we will quit what we are doing.” There are all levels of experienced drivers that come to Ladies’ Day events. Some, such as Bagley, have experience on the track. Others may be honing their skills as they work toward racing in events, and yet others come to learn some skills and have a good time. And if you’re an Autobahn member, you likely have an urge to feel the track

Tigers healthy, ready for playoffs By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @hearthebeard

The Illinois High School Association recently announced the seeds and pairings for the Class 3A girls soccer state playoffs. Three local teams all wind up in the Joliet West Regional, which opens play Tuesday, May 20. A pair of local teams face off in the 6:15 pm game, as No. 2 seed Joliet Central faces No. 3 Minooka. Joliet West, the No. 4 seed, faces No. 1 Lincoln-Way Central to open play at 4:30 pm. Joliet West may be the lowest of the four seeds, but coach Ashley Veigelt said the Tigers record does not reflect the team’s ability as they have been injured a lot this season. “Unfortunately we were plagued with injuries this year including the Joliet Central game,” Veigelt said. “We were not at our top game at that point with my game changing keeper still out with a broken >> see READY | page 13

Indians trying to play by their own formula By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @hearthebeard

If there is a book that illustrates the perfect way to

win a state softball title, it may have been written last season by the Minooka Indians. Minooka’s formula is simple – fly under the radar all season, peak at the right time and play your absolute best softball in the stretch run. After riding that to a Class 4A title a year ago, the Indians lost several key players from the title team and again find themselves under the radar. “We like being under the radar and get hot when the time is right,” said Minooka coach Mark Smith. “We just have to tighten some things up and we will be right there. We have talent on this team and the people who have seen our games know that and we have ourselves in position to try and win conference and hopefully make a deep playoff run.” Last week, the Indians hit a bump in the Southwest Prairie race when errors and a misplayed fly ball allowed Plainfield East the opportunity to come back and steal a win from the jaws of defeat. “We haven’t been able to avoid the big inning and when you give up the big inning it’s hard to come back,” Brown said. “We won five or six innings, but just gave one away. >> see PLAY | page 15

Sports >> READY, from page 11 hand from the first game. We have improved so much this year with really close scores against our opponents.” West has got healthier and hopes to play above the No. 4 seed. “Junior goal keeper Sam MacInnes is finally back in net and is dominating making incredible saves,” Veigelt said. “Our top players that have been stepping up is definitely our defense with outside defense junior Allison Rodawold and junior Mohagony West and stopper senior Angie Requena. Our top defensive player is our senior sweeper Kimberly Escamilla. She is a force as the last player back making it extremely difficult for forwards to get close to the goal with her speed. Kara Cipolle is a sophomore and is growing into a leader at a young age and really helping the forwards out setting them up for goals as a center mid as well as making some herself.” At full strength, Veigelt feels

West will compete. “We are a force and we will give Lincoln Way Central a tough game,” she said. “Lincoln-Way Central is the top team to beat and has the highest potential of winning regionals, their ball movement is consistent and very clean.” The winners of the opening two games will face off Saturday, May 24 at 11 am at Joliet West. The other local team in Class 3A is Lockport. The Porters are the No. 14 seed in the Naperville North sectional and will face No. 3 Metea Valley at 5 pm on Tuesday, May 20 in the opener of the Metea Valley Regional. An upset win would place Lockport against No. 6 Oswego or No. 12 Oswego East on Friday, May 23 at 7 pm. In Class 2A, Joliet Catholic Academy is the No. 5 seed in the Lemont Sectional. The Angels open play in the Rich East Regional on Wednesday, May 21 against No. 12 Bremen. A win would set up a match against either No. 4 Providence Catholic or No. 14 Rich East.

Minooka dominates SPC track meet As it has become used to doing, Minooka put on a dominating performance in the Southwest Prairie Conference track and field meet, winning easily. The Indians posted 175 points, followed by Oswego East (98), Oswego (73), Plainfield

South (57), Plainfield North (57), Romeoville (37), Plainfield Central (30) and Plainfield East (30). Minooka claimed the league title in half of the 18 events. Jenilie Rogers won the 100-meter dash in a time of 12.43 second and took the 200 dash (25.21) and long jump (18-feet, 3.75-inches) and placed third in the triple jump (36-0.75) to pace the Indians, while Moira McAsey claimed the 800 (2:24.81) herself and was a member of the winning 4x400 (4:03.39) and 4x800 (9:53.08)relay teams. The 4x400 team consisted of McCasey, Ashleigh Wilson, Bethany Bachmann and Emma Tonelli. McCasey was joined on the 4x800 team by Mackenzie Callahan, Keely Doran and Haley

McNamara. Tonelli teamed with Bachmann, Latricia Dean and Megan Caldwell to win the 4x200 (1:45.84). Callahan won the 1600 in 5:18.42. Lincoln-Way East defended its SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division girls track and field title, with 154 points, while Bolingbrook (85.5) was second and Lockport third (82). Joliet West (64), Carl Sandburg (59), Homewood-Flossmoor (52.5) and Joliet Central (39) rounded out the teams. Winning for Lockport were Morgan Bollinger, who claimed the 3200 run title in 11 minutes, 49.84 seconds and Lane Kadlec in the shot put with a put of 40-feet, 10.5-inches. The Porter 4x800 relay team of Aubrey

Elwood, Jorie Beaumont, Emmie Hahn and Haley Beaumont also won, running the race in 9:49.15. Hahn also took second in the 1600 in 5:28.22. Winning titles for Joliet West were Melzina Johnson in the long jump with a leap of 17-7.5 and Kierra Stokes in the discus with a throw of 121-2.25. Angelica Arriaga was second place in the pole vault, clearing 10-feet. Joliet Central had one champion in Dahmone Bluford, who won the triple jump, leaping 35-8.5, while Chavon Banks placed second in the shot put with a toss of 36-11.

BADMINTON Lockport won its own sectional with 15.5 points.

Advancing to state for the Porters were sophomores Jessica Miller and Haley Egelhof in singles and the doubles teams of Araceli Lozano and Marisol Onate and Jen Inczauskis and Lauren Hueckstaedt. Joliet West was third (7.5) and Joliet Central was fourth (3) at the Andrew Sectional. Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Casadi Brendemuehl advanced to the state meet.

SOFTBALL Joliet Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense stayed hot as it beat De La Salle 17-2. Jen Ames had two doubles and a pair of RBI for West (215). Alysia Rodriguez had three hits and three RBI, while Karina Vargas, Joy Treasure and Kristen Ames had two hits and two RBI each. Ariana Liceaga also had two runs batted in. Kylie Robb took the win in the circle.

SOCCER Homewood-Flossmoor defeated Joliet West 1-0 on penalty kicks. Sam MacInnes had 12 saves for the Tigers. Minooka beat Romeoville 5-1. Marisol Galvan and Lacey Viano each scored a pair for the Indians (4-7-4, 3-3 SPC) and Martina Kartba added the final tally.

BOYS TENNIS Oswego beat Minooka 4-3 in SPC action. Ryan Bozue and Andrew Surawski each won singles matches for Minooka, while Michael Cappel and Cody Bresnahan won in doubles.

BASEBALL Minooka held off Oswego 4-3. Neal Tyrell had three hits, while Tyler Desmarais posted two hits, Jon Vesper singled and doubled and Christian Sanchez doubled.

Sports >> PLAY, from page 12 We are 8-2 in conference and it is still in our hands. We just have to take care of business and finish, hopefully this is just a speed bump. If the Indians get their defense right, and Brown is confident they will, they have the bats and arms to carry them. ‘Offense has been really good, we just need to tighten up some things on defense and we will be just fine,” said Brown. “We have four pitchers that can keep us in games.” At the plate, Minooka has been hot all over the order.

“Caty Bell had two more home runs (against Plainfield East) and she leads our team and that is always nice when you can start the game off with a homer. Meghan Quirk has been on fire and Alyssa Hajduk at the No. 9 spot has been hot. Offensively we will be just fine, we know we can swing the bats with anybody.” When the Indians faced East, they held back Quirk, their ace pitcher, and threw her a day later against Morris. Minooka won 11-3 behind 12 hits. Geri Westerhoff nailed a tworun double in the fifth inning, while Hajduk hit an RBI triple

for the Indians (15-8). Erin Rossetto and Marissa Burns had two RBI each. Quirk moved her record to 8-3 with the win. “It is always nice to play Morris,” Brown said. “They are always a good rival and a fun game.” With the offense starting to heat up, Minooka could be putting itself in position for another deep run in the playoffs. “I believe that every year, every team goes on a two or three week stretch where it is just clicking on all cylinders,” Brown said. “And we have yet to play our best softball.”
