New bill to increase accessibility for dual-credit classes Senate Bill 2838 will look to make the cost of college more affordable BY RYAN OSTRY Bugle Staff @RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

In an effort to make the cost of college more affordable, State Senator Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant has initiated a law that will increase accessibility for dual-credit classes in the state of Illinois. “After listening to parents and realizing dual-credit was becoming more and more of an option, we needed to solidify the relationship from high schools and junior colleges,” Bertino-Tarrant said. Senate Bill 2838 that was passed by the Senate and House with bi-

partisan support requires a public university or community college to collaborate with local high schools to grant dual credit to a student who completes an accredited course. Bertino-Tarrant said that not only will this law help the students in the long run, but it will also have a domino effect for more possible future laws to similarly take place. “I think we just repeatedly hear how high the cost is for a college education and the significant debt kids are graduating with,” BertinoTarrant said. “If we can build this relationship between high schools and community colleges we can

make it a little easier on the kids.” Dual credit, which allows students to gain credit for post secondary coursework while they are still in high school, is set up to help parents as well in the long run. “This law is going to help parents financially,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “The community college image has completely changed from what it used to be and this is a win-win situation for all parties involved. Past research has proven that students who participated in dualcredit opportunities often has lead to positive academic outcomes, especially for students from lowincome backgrounds and first generation college students. This new bill that won’t be in full effect until Jan. 1, 2019, has already

shown sides of optimism from citizens. “The reaction I’ve seen has been very positive so far,” BertinoTarrant said. “We had the training commission, administrators and teachers all at the conversations and its been a collaboration give and take, everyone at the table recognizes the importance of dual credit.” Under the current bipartisan law, students are eligible to receive up to a total of 60 hours of dual credit, and Bertino-Tarrant said the fact community colleges offer these classes for a lot lower cost than universities is a huge for the kids. “We recognize the cost of college education is very high,” BertinoTarrant said. “Community colleges

offer these gen ed classes at a significantly lower cost, that’s one of the greatest benefit of this bill, getting two years under your belt at community college will pay off in the long run.” Even though this bill was generally passed with not a lot of issues, Bertino-Tarrant said that there were some regulations that the board had to follow in order to actively pursue to get this done the way they wanted it to be done. “Community colleges are restricted to a high learning commission, so they can’t break policy at all,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “We had to follow pretty strict rules, so getting them to mesh that was the biggest road block we would hit, but we had a lot of creative minds and we all came together in the end.”

Prison event earns $136K for future needs Tours, future events on tap at historic site BY MARNEY SIMON Enterprise Staff @PlainﬁeldNews news@enterprisepublications.com

Just weeks after the first large scale event at Joliet’s historic prison, the numbers are in, showing the rehab project at the prison has triggered both local interest and the possibility for future profits. The city’s prison committee met on Monday, Sept 10, getting updates on the future of the old Illinois State Penitentiary, which hosted its first community get together on Aug. 25. Deputy City Manager and Economic Development Director Steve Jones, along with members of the Joliet Area Historical Society, updated the committee on the results of sales at the Great Joliet Prison Break-In. The total expenses for the event reached $66,115, with gross income from sponsorships, ticket sales, food and beverage sales, and donations at $202,698. That puts the total revenue from the event at $136,582. “Since we started this whole process, we’ve always in a position of, what are we going to do.

Here is what we did do. We’re actually doing some wonderful things out there and implementation is well underway,” Jones told the committee, adding that the event attracted between 3,000 and 3,500 visitors, with lines for viewing of the cell block and segregation unit lasting up to an hour all the way through 9 p.m. during the event. “Our whole suspicion was that people would just want to go see this place. Clearly, it’s there. We had the kind of turnout and the kind of enthusiasm that we all expected,” Jones said. “We did this for the fun factor of brining the community into the prison, but clearly, the fun factor is part of this because we need to find ways with the restoration and the money that is being spent out there is being sustained.” Jones added that many of the visitors were local, which means there’s potential to earn more cash if they can generate interest outside the region and into the city of Chicago. Now, the prison is poised to open to future events. “This thing will become more of a routine, and hopefully we could replicate this as a fundraiser every year,” Jones said. “People drive by this place for a decade not know-

ing what they could see, and now they can see. To me that’s exciting, because we have so much more potential.” The site will host a disc golf tournament on Oct. 13 to benefit the historical society’s funds for the site. The prison was built in 1858 and closed in 2002 when the last of its inmates and most staff were moved to nearby Statesville. After that, the prison fell into a state disrepair, becoming a hot spot for vandals and even suffering through two fires. Renovations on the outside of the site began in March of 2009, with the revitalization of the parking lot into a public park. Members of the committee lauded the efforts of staff and volunteers to renovate the site and increase public interest. “The finances are just great,” said Councilwoman Bettye Gavin. “I was really shocked when I saw the numbers. That is awesome, you guys threw a good party.” The Joliet Area Historical Museum began the first prison tours on the Tuesday immediately after the Saturday event. The tours are offered three times per week and have drawn interest from schools and Route 66 visitor groups.

The Joliet Prison opened its outdoor area for visitors in 2009. Tours of the prison hosted by the Joliet Area Histrocial Society are now underway, with more than 50 tours booked through October.

Illinois’ long romance with trains endures Railroads made Chicago, stealing commerce from steamboat hubs like St. Louis, but it’s a love-hate relationship in the suburbs and Chicago today BY MARNI PYKE OF THE DAILY HERALD Trains brought Abraham Lincoln’s body home to Illinois, transported southern blacks escaping Jim Crow laws to Chicago, and now carry a labor force of thousands between the suburbs and downtown Chicago daily. Freight, passenger and commuter trains pass through the Chicago area at the rate of 1,300 a day, Illinois Department of Transportation says, and rail lines fan out in every direction. “People in Illinois are as intimately tied to railroading as anywhere in the country,” DePaul University transportation professor Joseph Schwieterman said. “Millions live close to busy rail lines, use commuter or intercity passenger trains, or cross busy sets of tracks every day, giving them a strong psychological connection to railroads.” But being the rail hub of the nation also has its downside: Meager funding for commuter rail, crossing delays, and freight gridlock are among the challenges facing the state in the 21st century. The first train to appear in the Chicago metro region was a Galena & Chicago Union Railroad steam engine dubbed the “Pioneer” in 1848, according to the Encyclopedia of Chicago. One of its first destinations was the settlement of Elmhurst, foreshadowing a regional commuter rail service under Metra that made 78.6 million passenger trips in 2017. “Our legacy suburbs developed along the railroads. In many respects they owe the initial growth to the railroads,” railroad historian and Metra Chairman Norm Carlson said. Prior to railroads, “shipping was the only way to move bulk commodities,” Carlson explained. “‘Interior’ delivery was limited to what the horse or mule

could carry or pull.” Initially, Midwestern railroads were built to link the nation’s interior with waterways, like the Mississippi River, and St. Louis was pegged as the gateway to the West. Chicago gained traction “in large measure to the access to Lake Michigan,” Carlson said. Railroads began sprouting like dandelions to feed growing demands. “From moving crops to market to moving raw materials in and finished products out, the railroads connect the economic activity of the state,” Carlson said. Schwieterman noted “everyone knows that railroads are a huge part of Chicago’s history, but many don’t fully appreciate that other places, including Decatur, Galesburg, Effingham and Rock Island, were rail junctions of enormous importance, as well.” As of 2018, the Chicago region absorbs almost 500 freight trains daily or 25 percent of traffic in the United States. But outdated infrastructure where railway tracks intersect or cross busy roads mean trains can spend as much

time in Chicago as it takes to reach either coast. Efforts to untangle the rail spaghetti — expediting trains and improving safety — will cost $4.4 billion and are about 40 percent complete. Both Metra and Amtrak are suffering from lackluster funding amid demands for better service from riders. Yet, despite the budget drought for commuter rail, Illinois’ high-speed rail project to begin service between Chicago and Springfield with speeds of 110 mph is expected to finish this year. “Chicago remains the workhorse of our country’s railroad industry,” Schwieterman said. “That keeps rail lines in our state unusually vibrant and busy.” Marni Pike is the transportation writer for the Daily Herald in Arlington Heights.

BASEBALL

Slammers one win from league title EDITOR’S NOTE: Game five of the series was rained out on Monday and as of press time, was scheduled for Tuesday. Check in at www.buglenewspapers.com for updates. The Joliet Slammers lost game 4 of the Frontier League Championship Series against the Washington Wild Things 2-1 Saturday night to tie up the best-of-five at two games each. The Slammers scored in the second inning with an RBI double from Brian Parreira. Corey Kimber threw 6 scoreless innings. A game earlier, the Slammers scored five runs in the third inning with two outs to take game three 5-3. Slammers tallied four-straight hits to plate all five of their runs in game three. Justin Garcia singled home a run before Ridge Hoopii-Haslam plated two with a base hit. Trenton Hill ended up with the gamewinning hit, as he singled home Hoopii-Haslam to make it 4-0 and subsequently scored on a double by shortstop Chaz Meadows. Washington, who was hitless through three, received a twoout, full-count double from second baseman Carter McEachern that scored first baseman Reydel Medina to open the scoring for Washington. In the fifth, left fielder Roman Collins plated a run with a single and Medina doubled home a run to bring it to 5-3. Nathan Antone earned the win in relief, fanning five in 3.1 innings including getting Hector Roa to fly out to center to end the fifth-inning threat with the tying run on second. In game two, Joliet won 3-1 Dom Iero, Washington’s third baseman, came within feet of tying the game with a two-run home run in the ninth, but the ball was ultimately called foul before Iero struck out to end the game. For the first two frames it seemed to be a pitching duel between Chase Cunningham and Joliet starter Scot Hoffman (0-1). The Slammers opened up the scoring in the third on a sacrifice fly from third baseman Danny Zardon, scoring centerfielder London Lindley to put Joliet in

Explore your options before leaving job DEAR DAVE, I’m stuck in a dead-end job, and I only have a high school diploma. I’ve never minded long hours and hard work, but I’ve begun to realize I need to have a better career so I can spend more time with my kids. I feel like I’m missing out on their lives because I work 65 to 70 hours every week. Do you have any advice on how to change my situation? TIM
