Have a Nice Trip Shorewood Parks and Recreation Department announces 2012 fall trips

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Summer months are often filled with family vacations, barbecues, and trips to the beach and amusement parks.

But when the children all head back to school, Shorewood has some excursions planned for the adults in the neighborhood.

Shorewood Parks and Recreation has announced its fall 2012 lineup of group trips.

This season the highlights are theater and shopping, and they promise to be filled with music, great buys and loads of fun.

Local travelers have their choice of two shopping excursions: the famed Shipshewana Flea Market in Northern Indiana and the Christkringle Market in Downtown Chicago. Theater buffs can enjoy jaunts to see Chicago-area productions of “Dream Girls,” “Singin’ in the Rain” and “I Love Lucy.”

Shipshewana was a popular trip last year, and the parks department is offering it again in 2012. That’s unusual, said parks superintendent Linda McCluskey.

“We very seldom offer the same trip and if we do, there is usually about a three-five year span since we last offered it,” she said.

The exceptions have typically been some of the major Broadway in Chicago shows, like “Wicked,” “Jersey Boys” and “Million Dollar Quartet.”

“These we have offered at least twice, with the bus filling up every time,” McCluskey said.

But it’s rarely the same crowd,

as the breadth and variety of the programming attracts new trip-goers to nearly every excursion, McCluskey added.

“It’s not like a club at all, we see new and different faces with almost every trip, and of course we have a handful of our regulars,” she said.

Shorewood partners with nearby Channahon and Plainfield Park Districts, which McCluskey said helps to make the trips very successful.

They also secure as much input as possible from their participants.

“When we put our trips together for the upcoming season, we talk to our travelers,” she said. “What do you want to do?”

A challenge has been the rising costs of gas, which have unfortunately driven up the costs of the trips as well, because they utilize coach busing to transport guests to their destinations.

“The tickets to the shows were at one time more expensive than the transportation, now our transportation cost has over ridden the cost of the tickets,” she said.

Still, the excursions remain an easy and social way to see the sights.

Fall trips include:

Shipshewana Flea Market, Northern Indiana Sept. 12, 2012 6:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.

Travelers enjoy the Midwest’s largest flea market where hundreds of vendors sell everything from fresh fruit to handcrafted furniture.

Participants receive a food voucher for lunch at any of the carry outs in the flea market or in the Auction Restaurant.

A Flight to Remember

B-17 national tour lands at Lewis University Airport, honors veterans of WWII

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Try, if you can, to imagine yourself on the battlefields of Europe in the opening months of 1942. If you were a German soldier or industrial worker at that time, there would have been few sights more frightening than that of an approaching B-17 bomber.

Developed in the 1930s, the four-engine “Flying Fortress” devastated military and industrial targets during the Allied bombing campaigns of World War II. The missions flown by its pilots were a major factor in the eventual defeat of Germany and the Axis powers.

Between Aug. 31 and Sept. 2, those pilots and the B-17’s they flew will be honored when the “Salute to Veterans” national tour makes a stop at the Lewis University Airport. The annual tour is hosted by the Experimental Aircraft Association, and Sean Elliot, vice president of air operations, said it’s an important event for EAA members and veterans alike.

“This is about saluting the veterans and recognizing what the greatest generation did for our country,” Elliot said.“The tours have just grown and grown.”

Unlike Axis soldiers, attendees to the event will be pleased to see the approaching B-17 the morning of Aug. 31. Veterans, pilots, flying enthusiasts and the general public are expected to flock to the event, which is celebrating its third year at Lewis.

Attendees to the three-day event can come to celebrate the nation’s veterans, take ground tours of the B-17 or experience the machine from the air in real life “flight missions.”The latter can be rather pricey, costing between $400 and $475 depending on EAA membership status and booking time, but Elliot said that the experience of flying in these machines is unmatched.

“To experience the sites, the sounds, and the smells of operating and actually aviating in an iconic airplane like the B-17 is

such an emotional experience,” Elliot said.“There are people who come off in tears or just giddy because they can’t believe how incredible it was.”

“Others come off with a new level of respect for what these World War II aviators did. It’s the whole package that you can’t get from reading a text book.”

For more information about flight rates and Salute to Veterans, visit www.b17.org.

Although this is only the third time the tour has made its way to Romeoville, Salute to Veterans has been visiting cities around the country since 1994. The year-long tour is a way to honor veterans of all wars, but it is also a way to bring aviation enthusiasts together to appreciate what the EAA calls “one of the greatest military airplanes ever built.”

George Linkus, president of the EAA’s area-chapter, flew the B-17 briefly during the Second World War, and he is eager for the chance to reunite with the dozens of WWII veterans who have made it out to past events.

However, Linkus’ real excitement boils down to one thing.

“It’s just exciting to be around an airplane,” Linkus said with a laugh.“Just seeing an old airplane

like that; no matter how many times you see it, you get the same feeling.”

Linkus has been a member of the EAA since 1964, and the chapter has been located at Lewis University Airport since 1971. In his opinion, this event is important to EAA members but also the community at large.

He said exact attendance figures aren’t kept but anticipates about 2,000 people will make it out to tour the aircraft.

Preserving Our Past Frame of nation’s industrial past built with Joliet steel

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

When Gerald Adelmann nominated the Joliet Steel Works to the Will County Register of Historic Places he did so because the site is rich in American industrial history.

“I’m not sure exactly what the catalyst was to nominate the site to the County register,”Adelmann said. “But, it was an important part of the mosaic of the area’s extraordinary resources, and we were concerned about its longterm protection and reuse.”

The Joliet Steel Works was constructed in the 1860s and was instrumental in the development of Joliet and surrounding communities. Providing jobs and attracting workers, the Joliet Steel Mill contributed to the growth of the city, which was designated as such in 1857.

The transportation networks that converged on the area in the mid-19th century precipitated steel production at the Joliet plant. The completion of the Illinois & Michigan Canal in 1848 and the extension of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad line to the area in 1852 made the region an ideal location to manufacture and transport steel.

“The reason the plant was there in the first place was largely because of the canal and the railroad,”Adelmann said.“You had a transportation system that

The Illinois Steel Works, Joliet in 1901.

could bring in coal that was needed, iron ore, limestone that they used for the processing and so forth.”

Around this time, the steel industry was also undergoing a transformation. The Bessemer Process of steel production revolutionized the industry when it was introduced in England in the 1860s. In the 1870s the Joliet Steel Works became the ninth plant in the country to use Bessemer converters.

Although the plant was constructed in 1869, it did not begin producing steel until Jan. 26, 1873. Once the Bessemer process improved production at the Joliet Steel Works, then named the Joliet Iron and Steel Company, the plant began to contribute to the development of the Western United States.

Production of rails to be used

for the westward expansion of railroads, wire fencing to enclose farms and welded wire fabrics for the construction of the nation’s highways were a few of the products manufactured at the Joliet Steel Works that contributed to that development.

“It has an extraordinary history, in terms of American history and labor history, associated with it,” Adelmann said. “This is a mill where they made rails that were used for the railroads going west, barbed wire and so many other things.”

Because of its connection to the nation’s industrial history, Adelmann nominated the Joliet Steel Works to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

However, the Joliet Steel Works is also representative of the area’s

local character and economic development.

Its original buildings were constructed of locally quarried limestone.

This architecture gave the Joliet Steel Works’ original buildings a character similar to many area buildings constructed during the mid- to late-19th century.

Because of its access to the transportation networks noted above, the Joliet Steel Works is also tied to the history of the I&M Canal, which was a significant contributor to the economic development of the region. In 1995, Adelmann recognized that important local connection

when he also nominated the site for the Will County Register.

“This is a very important part of not only Joliet’s history, but the history of the region in general and the upper Midwest,” Adelmann said.

Adelmann, who formed the Canal Corridor Association in 1980, is familiar with the significant impact the I&M Canal had on the region. His work in regional land conservation began in 1980 when he joined the Openlands Project. He has since gone on to contribute See JOLIET STEEL, page 5

JJC Workforce Development and Will County partners host job fair Joliet Junior College Workforce Development, along with Will County and the Will County Center for Economic Development, is hosting the Jobs4Success 2012 Job Fair from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 29 at the JJC Renaissance Center, 214 N. Ottawa St. The event, which is free and open to the public, will provide job seekers with the opportunity to network with local employers. There

are 44 employers scheduled to attend the event, said Paige Vanderhyden, director of workforce development.

However, she expects that number to grow.

“The job fair will allow job seekers to meet face-to-face with a variety of employers looking to hire,” Vanderhyden said. “It will reduce the need to travel from business to business to seek employment opportunities.”

Job seekers must have a resume to attend the event and should come dressed ready for on-the-spot interviews. Those interested in attending the fair are required to register online here.

In preparation for the job fair, job seekers are invited to attend a “Preparing for a Job Fair” workshop that will be held Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at JJC’s City Center Campus.

“Job seekers who attend

the ‘Preparing for a Job Fair’ workshop will have an advantage when meeting with potential employers,” Vanderhyden said.

Registration to attend the prejob fair event is not required and walk-ins are welcomed.

For more information about both events, contact Scott Kettman of the Workforce Services Division of Will County at skettman@willcountyillinois. com or 815-723-3880.

Governor signs Cross bill to tighten pension loophole Governor Pat Quinn signed Illinois House Republican Leader Tom Cross’ (R-Oswego) bill that will help prevent further abuses of a law that allows outgoing and former state lawmakers to cash-in by boosting their pension upon taking another government job at a higher salary after leaving office.

House Bill 3969 would require an outgoing or former lawmaker in this position to either opt out

of the higher pension at the new government job or require the hiring government agency’s pension fund to pick up the additional cost.

“This is a loophole that has been abused over the years by former lawmakers and it has to stop,” Cross said. “A former lawmaker will still be able to continue public service, but if they do it for a limited period of time—just to boost their pension—that will no longer be

tolerated at the state’s expense.”

Currently, a member of the General Assembly who began service in the legislature prior to August 22, 1994 is able to obtain employment at a higher salary with another government agency that has a reciprocal agreement with the General Assembly Retirement System (GARS) at the state, county, or municipal level and have their legislative pension based on the higher salary of their new position.

The General Assembly approved a law in 1994 to provide that all state lawmakers first elected from that point forward would only be able to collect a pension based on their final salary as a member of the Illinois House or Senate, irrespective of whether or not they went on to obtain further employment with another government agency that has a reciprocal pension fund with GARS.

Joliet Jaguars host a free hockey day The Joliet Jaguar Hockey Club is hosting a free hockey event on September 9 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. at Inwood Ice Arena in Joliet at 3000 W.

Signs point to good season for Joliet golf

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

All signs are pointing to this being the year for Joliet Township golf to make a move for state.

With the return of all but one key member of last year’s team, the hopes are high.

“Last year we finished real strong,” Joliet coach Ed Larson said. “The sophomores are really stepping up and that is going to be a big key for us. We won conference last year and I don’t see why we can’t do that this year. We’re thinking more than team sectional. We’re thinking team state.”

The Steelmen are led by sophomore Trent Wallace, who made it to state a year ago, and senior Devin Boswell, who advanced to sectionals last year. “(Trent’s) been playing well all summer,” Larson said. “He won a couple summer tournaments and his game is just phenomenal right now. He has the whole package.”

“I didn’t do really well last year (at state),” Wallace stated.

“So, I’m trying to get back there and do better. I have a lot of motivation. If we all play well we can definitely make it to state (as

a team), but we should at least make sectionals.”

The depth of the team should be a big help for the team this year.

“We have a solid four,” Boswell said. “Last year we didn’t really know who are fourth was going to be from tournament to tournament. This year we even have a solid fifth, so we’re going to be pretty good.We just need to stay out of our own heads and not get too far ahead of ourselves.”

Joliet took third place on Aug. 15 at the Plainfield Central Invite at Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville with a 312. LincolnWay Central won with a 304.

“We’ll take that all day long,” Larson said of the total. “That’s a good way to start the season.

Putting just killed us today.”

“Last year we set a lot of school records,” Boswell said. “We came out this year and started off strong with a 312. Putting a low score like that up there feels good.

There is definitely a possibility of breaking 300. Hopefully we can do that a couple times.”

Wallace led the way with a one-over par 73.

“I lost my ball on 18, so it could have been better,” Wallace said. “I’ve improved a lot. I’ve

Country music superstar Bryan to perform pre-race at Speedway Country music star Luke Bryan will perform a pre-race infield concert on Sunday, September 16, at Chicagoland Speedway as a prelude to the GEICO 400 and the start of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. All fans with a race ticket can enjoy the concert from the grandstands, and for the first time ever season ticket holders and fans with pit passes will be able to walk down to the infield to enjoy one of country music’s premier talents. Bryan will also be performing the National

Anthem prior to the GEICO 400 getting underway.

The concert will take place from the grass in the tri-oval, which can be accessed through newly-installed crossover gates in the grandstands. Fans can also remain in the infield during driver introductions for an upclose-and-personal experience like never before. For NASCAR fans unable to attend the race, ESPN will carry one song from Bryan’s live performance during NASCAR Countdown (1p.m.

ET).

“Adding an artist of Luke Bryan’s caliber and appeal to our GEICO 400 pre-race festivities only increases the excitement that the start of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup brings,” said Scott Paddock, Chicagoland Speedway president.

“By providing our fans access to the infield and an up close and personal look at what is sure to be a remarkable concert performance, we’re confident that we will provide them with an experience that will exceed all expectations.”

Isaac among top players in Voyager Media coverage area

By Scott Taylor and Mark Gregory

With the football season upon us, there is even more anticipation than normal.

That is because the Voyager Media coverage area has a plethora of Division-I recruits hitting the fields on Friday night.

Headlining the list is Joliet Catholic running back Ty Isaac, who is headed to the University of Southern California.

Isaac, the 6-foot, 3-inch, 217-pounder is the top rated running back in the state and No. 7 in the nation as ranked by ESPN. Isaac rushed for a schoolrecord 2,114 yards and 45 touchdowns last season.

“It is huge to have my college picked so I can just focus on JCA and focus on this team,” Isaac said.

Isaac is looking for that elusive state title to go with all his stats.

“This is it,” he said. “The state won’t let me come back for a fifth year, so I have to win now.”

While Isaac had a superb state title game last year, so did Bolingbrook quarterback Aaron Bailey.

The University of Illinoisbound quarterback led his team to the school’s first-ever state title.

Bailey returns as defending Voyager Media player of the year. In the state final game last season, Bailey ran 34 times for 149 yards and two touchdowns and was 8-for-13 passing for 140 yards as Bolingbrook beat Loyola 21-17.

On the season, he ran for 1,973 yards and 30 touchdowns and passed for 1,039 yards and 10 more TDs. Bailey will see a lot of fellow Class of 2013 quarterback Matt Alviti over the next four years, as Alviti committed to play for Northwestern next season.

“It is a big relief to not worry about where I am going to school next year,”Alviti said.“The coaching staff is great there, the coaches I like and they run an offense a lot like we run here at Maine South.”

There are multiple Division-I recruits in the Southwest Prairie Conference.

Plainfield Central’s Bryce

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

JCA runningback Ty Isaac is one of the top 10 returning players in the nation.

Douglas is headed to the University of Illinois to follow his father’s footsteps, who played basketball there.

“Now I can focus on making my Plainfield Central High School football team better,” Douglas said. “The added stress of trying to go out there and perform my game rather than the team game was probably going to be a big stress for me, my dad was telling me. I’m glad I got that out of the way and we felt we made the right decision. Now I can focus on what I have to do here.”

Douglas hopes the Wildcats can get back to the playoffs this year.

“We have to take things one game at a time,” he said. “None of us have been to the playoffs.

We have to take it one week at a time and not rush anything.

If we do that, we can definitely

win a conference championship and go deep in the playoffs.”

Romeoville’s Caleb Bailey is another force on the defensive side of the ball and is still looking at colleges to attend.

“I’m not worried about it too much,” he said. “Especially since it’s football season, I’m not concerned with it. School hasn’t started yet, so I’m just focused on football.”

Instead, Caleb Bailey is focused on his teammates.

“We’re taking that underdog mentality,” he said. “We did good on 7-on-7s and we are (ready for the season).”

A pair of Northwestern recruits that will join Alviti next year are also hitting the field in the SPC as linemen Blake King from Minooka and Tyler Lancaster from Plainfield East are ready to have big senior seasons.

Naperbrook offers challenging greens

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

It didn’t hit me until a couple days after I played Naperbrook Golf Course that the greens were quite challenging.

Thinking back on my round, I realized I had a lot of difficult putts up and down slopes. That made me think that the greens are the most unique feature of the course.

There might have been even more hills and slopes on the green than what I saw, but I had to deal with them on hole Nos. 1, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18.

The course starts with a straightforward hole with a dogleg left at the second hole.

Then comes the par-5 third hole that offers quite the challenge.

It is a sharp dogleg right with water to the right and in front of the dogleg. Your options are either to keep it left and make it a long three shot hole, or try to hit it over the water and have a chance to reach a fairly tight green in two. Definitely was one of my favorite holes.

Both par-3s on the front side (holes 4 and 8) had bunkers guarding them, making them difficult holes. After a short par4 fifth hold and a longer par-4 sixth hole, my favorite hole was up next.

The par-5 seventh hole starts off pretty wide and then narrows greatly at the green.

There are hazards on both sides of the green with a small fairway in front of the green. This makes it a very difficult hole to reach in two and it is a must to be accurate with your approach shot.

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Holes No. 12 and No. 16 share a single green with two hole locations.

Heading to the back side, the 10th hole is a short par-4 that also narrows a bit toward the green and has water to the right.

The 12th hole, a par-3 offers up a double green, where the 16th hole is also shot to. There is a large mound in the middle separating the two holes, making it a unique feature of the course.

The 13th hole is a scenic hole that offers up a difficult approach and water to the left.

The 14th hole is a par-5 that has a lot of room to the right, but to the left is easy to hit it over the fence and out of bounds. There

is a large green up at the hole.

Next is the longest par-3 on the course with a bunker in front of the green, and then there is the difficult driving hole, which is the par-4 16th. There are a pair of fairway bunkers blocking a straight drive, and there is water to the right as the fairway bends to the left. Despite it not being long, it is difficult.

The 17th is a short par-4 and definitely a birdie hole and is followed by a par-5 to finish, which can also be birdied. The main entrance and parking lot is on the left and can be hit, which

is also out of bounds. There is room to the right, but with the dogleg left, it makes it a much longer hole. The green is uphill and has sharp contours.

The more I think of the course, the more I like it. It is a fun course to play and not overly challenging. However, it does give you a good test on the green, especially when you hit the wrong places. The more you play the course though, the more you can probably avoid the hilly parts of the green.

As was the case with the other courses I reviewed, it was in

great shape, despite the lack of rain. The price point isn’t bad for it being in Naperville, but at $54 with a car during the week, it could probably be a few dollars cheaper. The main problem I had was that it was 90 degrees outside and there was no beverage cart. Maybe it was because it was in the morning, but there should be more access to fluids, whether it be more coolers or a beverage cart.

All in all it was a very nice course and one I would play again. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Clipping out coupons: a waste of time today?

Dear Dave, Is it worth the time and effort to use coupons, or are they just a waste of time and a ploy to get you to buy things?

Tammy Dear Tammy, Coupons are definitely a ploy to entice you to buy something you may not have purchased otherwise. But that doesn’t mean they’re bad things.

The practical and sensible application of coupons can definitely help you save money.

The main things to watch out for when using coupons are overbuying and spending your money on things you don’t really need. Seriously, you don’t need to hit Sam’s or Costco and walk out with nine gallons of mustard. I’ve even heard of people buying things they know they don’t like just because it was on sale or they had a coupon. I mean, how dumb is that?

I guess there is a time factor involved in collecting coupons, especially if you still like to clip them from the newspapers or flyers that come in the mail.

Plenty of folks still do that every

week. I think online coupons are a lot easier to search for and save though.There’s a company I love called eMeals that will work with you to plan recipes and also give you information on coupons and sales in your area to make the meals.

I’m definitely not anti-coupon, but at the same time couponing alone won’t change your family tree. It’s like any other tool. If used in a smart way, it can help you save money. And that’s not a bad thing!

—Dave

Birthday money is a last resort Dear Dave, What’s the best way to save or use money given to a baby as a birthday present?

Ron Dear Ron, I think it depends on your financial situation along with your plans and goals. If you’re at a place where you can’t afford necessities, then there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using birthday money for food, diapers or clothes. That’s not a fun answer, but sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to properly care for your family.

If money isn’t a big issue

though, you’re left with figuring out a plan. In our case, we invested lots of it toward their college funds. Then we taught them to save for other things themselves. For instance, we didn’t buy any of our kids their first cars. But we did agree to match whatever they saved when it came to this purchase.

There’s also nothing wrong with just setting up a simple savings account and watching it grow. As they get older, you can involve them in the process and begin to teach them about the three uses for money: spending, saving and giving. And if you start something like this when they’re really little, chances are they’ll already have a nice pile of money already stashed away when they become old enough for those teachable moments.

The point is to have a plan.

Once you have a definite idea in mind, it’s a lot easier to achieve the goal!
