Oktoberfest goes kaput Tainted narcotics may due to severe weather have led to Joliet deaths almost eight inches of rain fell between sept. 28 and 29, causing flash flooding concern throughout the area

by brIan stanley bugle staff

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com Unfortunately the only German words used to describe Shorewood’s Oktoberfest this year were “gewitter,” which means storm and “kaput.” The intense thunderstorms that hit northern Illinois throughout Sept. 27 destroyed the large tent that had been set up to hold the event the next day at Cene’s Four Seasons Park. Like much of the area, parts of

the park were flooded as retention ponds overflowed from a record amount of rainfall. Village officials said “safety and cleanup concerns” made the park unsafe. The park remained closed until Sept. 30. According to the village of Shorewood, a majority of Parks Department employees consider Oktoberfest their favorite event of the year. Shorewood’s Bavarian-style festival started in 1976 and was held each year from 2013 to 2018 — offering German food and beer and featuring a stein-holding contest.. A German-style brass band and an 80’s rock cover band had been scheduled to perform this year. Almost eight inches of rain fell between Sept. 28 and 29, causing flash flooding concern throughout the area.

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

Police are investigating whether tainted narcotics have led to at least five deaths in Joliet over the last week. On Sept. 22, police and firefighters were called to the 700 block of Landau Avenue where a 40-yearold man was found dead inside a residence. A 35-year-old man was also found unconscious, but was revived by firefighters. Detectives said the death is being

investigated as an overdose and cocaine was found at the scene. “Detectives are awaiting toxicology reports to determine if any other substance was present such as fentanyl,” Sgt. Chris Botzum wrote. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid sometimes added to enhance the potency of other drugs, but also increases the likelihood of an overdose. Two days later, four unresponsive people were reported in the 400 block of Bridge Street. A 39-year-

old woman and a 29-year-old man died while a 30-year-old man and 28-year-old man were hospitalized. Substances that appear to be cocaine and fentanyl were again found at the scene. “When people use illegal narcotics, they never know what is truly in them. Unfortunately this can lead to people overdosing on potentially fatal substances,” Police Chief Al Roechner said. “We want to let the public know we are fully investigating these cases.’ On Sept. 25, a welfare check brought police to the 100 block of St. Jude Avenue where a 60-year-old man was found dead with a “white powdery substance” found nearby, police said. A 10:41 a.m. Sept. 26, a 57-year-old man was found dead in a hotel room in the 400 block of South Larkin Avenue with white powder nearby.

dave says

It’ s important to agree on emergency fund amount Your emergency fund is really more about peace of mind dear dave, I know you talk about having an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses set aside. My husband and I are having a difficult time agreeing on exactly how much we should set aside for emergencies. How do you determine the exact amount? The exact amount you have in your emergency fund – whether it’s three, four, five, or six months of expenses – is really more about

peace of mind than anything else. Still, there are a few practical things to consider. If you both have very stable jobs, you’d probably be OK saving three or four months of expenses. But if one of you is self-employed, makes most of their money through commissions, or only one of you works outside the home, it would make more sense to have five or six months of expenses set aside. Of course, you can always compromise while leaving room for growth. There’s nothing wrong starting out with three months of expenses saved, then adding more as time goes by. The main thing is that you’re both in agreement, and you both feel safe with the amount of money in your emergency fund!

dear dave, I’m new to investing, and recently I began putting money into growth stock mutual funds inside a Roth IRA. On my last statement, it said that my investment had grown. Can you explain how it grew? In most cases, you’ll have anywhere from 90 to 200 different company’s stocks in a growth stock mutual fund. Over a period of time, some of them will go up and some will go down. If the overall effect is that the group is worth more now than it was before, you made money. The value of that overall group of stocks went up, in other words. OK, now pay close attention to what I’m about to say next. I love

the fact that you’re investing and thinking about the future. It shows wisdom and maturity to be able to grasp the need for a good financial plan now and in the years ahead. However, I’d advise you to not put any more money into that investment until you understand exactly what it is and how it works. Talk to your financial adviser immediately, and let him or her know you’re not clear on things. A quality investing professional has the heart of a teacher. Someone like this will take as much time as necessary to better explain your investment, your options, and answer other questions so you can become an informed investor and, over time, make your own wise investing decisions.

Terry Lynch portrays Neil Armstrong at Joliet Library

first man to walk on the moon gets brought back to life by ryan Ostry bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com With 2019 being the 50-year anniversary of the first moon landing, Terry Lynch came to the Joliet Library to give his best Neil Armstrong impersonation. “I’m portraying Neil because of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing itself,” Lynch said. “What I try and present in it is actually just how impossible it was to accomplish that back then.” In what was known as being less than a 50 percent survival rate while trying to accomplish something that has never been done, Lynch said for that time this was astonishing. Armstrong, an astronaut, aeronautical engineer, naval aviator, test pilot and university professor, did not always have going to space on his mind. A veteran, who saw action in the Korean War, decided eventually that he wanted to go to Purdue University, so he became a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). Armstrong participated in the U.S. Air Force’s Man in Space Soonest and X-20 Dyna-Soar human spaceflight programs before landing on the Moon was ever a thought. “Now, we think about space travel

and how easy it is to just get up and go but back then it was seemingly impossible,” Lynch said. “People don’t really recognize how difficult it was back then to do something like this.” Armstrong made his first spaceflight as command pilot of Gemini 8 in March 1966, becoming NASA’s first civilian astronaut to fly in space. Although Armstrong rose significantly up the ranks taking on more responsibilities, it wasn’t all a smooth transition for the hero. During training for Armstrong’s second and last spaceflight as commander of Apollo 11, he had to eject from the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle moments before a crash. Though adversity hit, on July 20, 1969, the world changed. “In all the missions they ever had, it was only the second time they got that close to the surface on the moon,” Lynch said. “They don’t realize how many times they almost died on that mission.” On the date that will always be

remembered in American history, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first people to land on the Moon, and the next day they spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the mission’s command module. Along with Collins and Aldrin, Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon. President Jimmy Carter presented Armstrong with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, and Armstrong and his former crewmates received a Congressional Gold Medal in 2009. After he resigned from NASA in 1971, Armstrong taught in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati until 1979. While Armstrong made himself clear as one of the most famous pioneers in Amercian history, Lynch said he never quite acted like it. Not allowing someone to write a

biography on Armstrong’s life until 30 years and keeping to himself were a couple of things that Lynch said Armstrong was most known for in his personal life. “We was a very team oriented guy,” Lynch said. “Even the other people in the crew didn’t know if he was mad, happy or sad, he always just stuck to himself.” On August 7, 2012, Armstrong underwent a bypass surgery to relieve coronary disease. Although he was reportedly recovering well, he developed complications in the hospital and died on August 25, in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the age of 82. Though its been seven years since his death, Lynch said no matter if he never recognized his greatness he achieved, he will always go down as an America hero. “I really enjoy researching and finding out new things about Armstrong as a human being,” Lynch said. “What he did and accomplished was amazing, so I enjoy bringing him to life instead of just reading about it in a book.”

minooka moves to 5-0 on the season, faces plainfield north next week by drake skleba for the bugle

@BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Friday night at Oswego East, two undefeated and state-ranked football teams, were scheduled to meet, in a crucial Southwest Prairie Conference West Division opener. Mother Nature, as she had done all spring and summer, struck again with her favorite weapon — lightning and torrential rain. Thus, on Saturday night, the undefeated guests from Minooka and the hosts from Oswego East, began SPC West play. Minooka entered the contest ranked No. 7 in the Associated Press week 5 state football rankings, while Oswego East checked in at No. 15. It didn’t take long for the Indians to get on the board. On the second play of the game, Minooka senior free-safety Ernesto Ramirez picked off Oswego East quarterback Mike Ford’s pass and scampered 20-yards into the end zone.

“I was playing up on the receiver and was fortunate to be able to get the big interception,” Ramirez said. “It was important for us to get the early lead and the momentum. It felt great to get the pick-six.” With the return of senior quarterback Seth Lehr and an outstanding effort from the Indian defense, Minooka rolled to the 24-7 SPC West victory to improve to 5-0. After a very shake start, Lehr finished a quality night completing 10 of his 22 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. Lehr added 33 yards rushing on 10 carries and a touchdown. “It felt great to be back but I was a little rusty in the first half,” Lehr said. “I missed a wide-open Noah Ellens, for a touchdown. Our defense was outstanding tonight and this was a great victory for us to improve to 5-0.” Oswego East (4-1, 0-1) tied the game at 7-7 on a three-yard touchdown run by senior Kevon Battle (three carries, 13 yards, TD; four

Milton breaks two records in Saints’ win Dwayne Milton (SR/Machesney Park, Ill.) broke two school records and tied two others and the University of St. Francis offense tied one other mark in closing Mid-States Football Association crossover play with a 5527 victory over Lawrence Tech University on Saturday. Milton broke his own mark for yards rushing in a game with his 256 yards on 24 carries Saturday. The previous record was 249 yards set last year versus Lindenwood UniversityBelleville. His 10.7 yards per carry average also established a new high-water mark in that category, breaking the old record of 10.2 yards per carry by DeJuane Jones against Michigan Technological University back in 1996. Besides those marks, Milton accounted for five of USF’s eight touchdowns, with all five coming on the ground to tie a 20-year mark initially set by Victor Pierzchalski back in 1989 against St. Joseph’s College (Ind.). The 30 points scored by both Milton on Saturday and by Pierzchalski in 1989 also represent the top mark in that category. USF’s offensive unit also got in on the record-editing act with its seven rushing touchdowns on the day, tying the mark first set in 1992 versus Kentucky State University. It all added up to a season-best 495 total yards of offense — 9.5 yards per play — and touchdowns on 8 of 11 offensive series. On the ground, the Saints (2-3) totaled 421 yards (another season best) on 41 carries for a 10.3 average per carry. Milton wasn’t the only Saint to average 10 yards per carry with Michael Johnson (SR/Plainfield, Ill.) totaling 56 yards on just four attempts (14.0) and Major Dedmond (FR/Freeport,

IndIans frOm page 5 catches, 28 yards), with 8:37 left in the half. With 1:36 left in the half, on a perfect pass, Lehr hit senior Trent Hudak in stride for a 36-yard scoring strike. After Indian junior place-kicker Mason Spivey’s second PAT, the Indians led 14-7 at the half. In the third quarter, Lehr teamed up with senior Steven Gonzales, (6 catches, 47 yards, 4 carries, 49

Ill.) averaging 12.8 yards with his six rushes netting 77 yards. The three also produced at least one run of 43 yards each. Milton did it twice and both times resulted in one-play touchdown drives. The first time came after Lawrence Tech (1-3) had wiped out an early 14-0 Saint advantage following their first two possessions. The 14-all tie lasted all of 10 seconds as that was the amount of time required for Milton to cover 65 yards and put the Saints back up 21-14 with 9:46 remaining in the second quarter. Milton then started a string of three straight scores in the second half after Lawrence Tech had gotten as close as 34-27 on a 12-play, 85yard drive to open the third quarter and had driven into USF territory on its second possession. Following a pooch punt by Blue Devils quarterback Tyler Kulka down to the St. Francis 17-yard line, Milton went 83 yards for his fourth touchdown of the day to put the Saints up 41-27. He added his fifth score on the Saints’ next possession, an 8-play, 85yard march that came just after Law-

rence Tech was thwarted in the end zone on a fourth-down pass breakup by Jonathan Pullen (FR/Joliet, Ill.). Milton’s one-yard run put the game out of reach at 48-27 with 9:57 to play. Perre’ Barbarin (JR/New Orleans, La.) added one more insurance touchdown and the record-tying one (2-yard run) following a Blake Evans (JR/Manhattan, Ill.) fumble recovery. Johnson and Keagan James (JR/ Sheridan, Mich.) also got in on the scoring act with the former’s touchdown coming from one yard out to put the Saints up 14-0 early. James’ first score as a Saint pushed USF’s lead back up to a two-touchdown margin (28-14) midway through the second quarter on a 10-yard pass from Dedmond. Dedmond and Jamal Salaam (JR/ Hanford, Calif.) rotated on each offensive possession at quarterback with Dedmond getting the start. Besides his rushing numbers, he completed 3-of-4 passes for 21 yards, including the touchdown to James. Salaam was 5-for-7 for 53 yards through the air and had one carry for four yards. Despite yielding the 27 points, the

Saints did have some standout performances defensively, including finishing with 11 tackles for loss and one sack as a team. Mike Gruben (SR/Joliet, Ill.)led the way with 10 tackles — 2.5 of which went for loss — and a fumble recovery that set up Johnson’s touchdown. His score and Milton’s opening touchdown marked the first points of the season for the Saints in the opening quarter. Entering the day, they had been outscored 71-0 after the first 15 minutes. They also ended a 52-0 drought in the third quarter with Milton’s 83yard run. Besides his touchdown-saving and drive-stopping pass breakup early in the fourth quarter, Pullen recorded one other knockdown to go along with his eight tackles, which was second best on the team. Chris Peters (JR/Frankfort, Ill.) keyed the charge on Lawrence Tech’s lost yardage plays with a 13-yard sack and 1.5 tackles for loss for three yards. He finished the day credited with five tackles. Tight end CJ Thompson (8 recp., 115 yards) accounted for two of Lawrence Tech’s four scores on a pair of nine-yard passes from Kulka (19-of32, 3 TDs). Both were set up by kickoff returns of 62 and 54 yards. Mekai Otero led the Blue Devil ground game with 70 yards on 19 carries with one touchdown (7 yards). The contest ended a string of four road games among its first five playing dates for USF, which gained a split of the four decisions. The Saints now start a string of four home games among its final six regular-season dates on Saturday when they face MSFA Midwest League foe Robert Morris University Illinois.

yards) four times,on the Indians’ eight-play, 70-yard scoring drive. “This was a great win for us to go to 5-0,” Gonzales said. “Our goal is to go 9-0 and win the SPC West. It was great to have Seth return but we really are all, very happy, with Josh Davis’ play, replacing Seth.” Spivey’s 24-yard field goal put the Indians up 17-7 with 5:35 in the third quarter. Lehr concluded the scoring with a three-yard touchdown run with 6:41 left in the game.

After leading the Indian defense, from his linebacker spot, Indian senior fullback Jake Kellams (four carries, 25 yards) ran over and ran out the clock on the Wolves late in the fourth quarter. “I love playing on defense but I really enjoy the opportunity to carry the football, “ Kellams said. “I love to run over people. We all played great on defense.” Six-foot-2, 265 pound Jake Shipla, Gonzales, Ramirez and 6-foot-1, 260 pound Drew Gutknecht also shined

on defense. “We played well again tonight but once again, there is always room for improvement,” Shipla said. Nine yards short of 100, Ellens, rushed for 91 yards on 21 carries. Up next for the road warriors is a third consecutive road game at Plainfield North (4-1, 0-1) on Friday night. It will be homecoming on the north side of Plainfield. “Well, we will finally, conclude our road trip next week at Plainfield

USF scored 332 points in the 18team 5K Sean Earl Collegiate Invitational Maroon Race, which was held at Montrose Park. The Saints finished one point in front of 12thplace Southern Illinois-Edwardsville (333 pts.) and 60 points in back of 10th-place DePaul (272 pts.), a pair of NCAA Division I teams. Northern Illinois was crowned meet champion with 60 points and host Loyola placed second by tallying 62 points. Individually for USF, Sabrina Baftiri (JR/Morris, Ill.) was the Saints’ top finisher with a 42nd placing as she ran a personal season-best 18:56.7 time. Taylor Conroy (SR/Marengo, Ill.) was the Saints’ next highest finisher by capturing 58th-place honors as a result of clocking a time of 19:07.4 while Laisha Corona (JR/Lockport, Ill.) produced a 68th-place 19:14.7 time. Veronica Navarrete (JR/ Berwyn, Ill.) would end up posting a 19:26.6 time which afforded her 89th place. Bre Rodriguez (SR/Dwight, Ill.) placed 108th with a 19:42.6 time and Katherine Bakken (FR/Rochelle, Ill.) ran a 20:01.2 time, which earned her 126th place.

North,” Minooka coach John Belskis said. “Ernesto really got us off to a great start, with his pick six, in the first quarter. Seth, was a little rusty but there isn’t any quarterback in the entire area, that I would rather have leading my team, than Seth. “Our defense played very well against a very good Oswego East team. Our 5-0 record is right where we thought we would be, after five games. We’re going to enjoy this victory and then get ready for Plainfield North on Monday.”
