Joliet man arrested for Nov. 2 shooting shooting occurred at 4:52 p.m. in the 200 block of o’neill street By Brian stanley Bugle staff
@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com
A Joliet man was arrested after allegedly shooting a woman in the leg Nov. 2. The shooting occurred at 4:52 p.m. in the 200 block of O’Neill Street. Police said officers arrived to find a 22-year-old woman had been shot in the leg. Her injury was not lifethreatening. Police said “a description of the possible vehicle that was used in the incident” was given out to other officers and a traffic stop was made a short time later in the 1000 block of Gardner Street. Investigators reportedly matched the driver, Dominique Travis, 26, as the suspect in the shooting. “The reason for the shooting is still being investigated,” police said. Travis was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery with a firearm and booked into the county jail. Travis has previous pleaded guilty
to unlawful use of a weapon for a Sept. 2013 confrontation in Joliet where he shot at a group of people in the 200 block of North Broadway. He served prison time for both that incident and striking his pregnant girlfriend earlier that year. Travis was also tried on a charge of attempted murder for an Oct. 2013 shooting at a party in the 100 block of Malibu Drive in Bolingbrook. A
20-year-old man was shot in the chest and a 21-year-old man was shot in the leg, according to court records. Police said Travis fled with another man in an SUV that led officers on a high-speed chase to Joliet. During Travis’ 2014 trial, the driver of the SUV and other party guests testified they could not remember Travis attending the party and he was found not guilty.

Rialto, Police, County Sheriff hosts Active Shooter Readiness Seminar
With the rising numbers of mass shootings, law enforcement educates those about having a plan for safety By ryan ostry Bugle staff
@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com From 2000-18 there were 277 incidents in the United States involving what the FBI considers active shooters, which is ‘one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.’ In that time frame three were in Illinois – the Valentine’s Day shooting at Northern Illinois University in 2008, an open-space shooting on North Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago in 2015 and the killing of three people one year ago at the Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago. February of 2019 saw tragedy get closer to home when a lone gunman killed five and wounded police officers at the Henry Pratt Company’s manufacturing and warehouse building in Aurora.
With the numbers continuing to increase every year, The Rialto Square Theatre partnered with the Joliet Police and Will County Sheriff’s Departments to present an active shooter readiness seminar”. “It’s a very tough topic to talk about, think about and let alone have a presentation about,” said Sergeant Steven Formenti. “Unfortunately, we live in a world now where when we go home to watch television this is almost going to be on every time.” The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends creating a plan of acting in your professional and personal life, and those who presented agree with that notion as well. “When 9/11 happened and Columbine happened everyone was glued to their television for hours and hours,” Formenti said. “Now, you come home and you have all of these shootings happen and we’re so immune to it it’s

Sixteen of the 20 most deadly mass shootings in modern history occurred in the last 20 years, eight of them in the last five years, which is why Formenti and Lieutenant Joe Rosado said there needs to be a plan incase of an emergency. “The big part about this presenta-

Workforce Center of Will County to host Job fair nov. 14 The Workforce Center of Will County will host a job fair from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 14 at its location in Suite 100, 2400 Glenwood Avenue in Joliet.

tion is to recognize something before it happens and start looking at things a little bit different,” Formenti said. “Get your eyes off of your cell phone and pay attention to your surroundings.” Clips of videos such as the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, the infamous Columbine shooting and the Jacksonville airport shooting were all shown to the crowd at the Rialto to drive home the point that it can happen anywhere. A Fight-Flight-Freeze term was used to help describe those who are not anticipating a catastrophe — that is a response the body’s automatic, built-in system designed to protect us from threat or danger. “All of that time spent in that freeze moment is more time for
something terrible to happen to the person,”Formenti said. “If someone has a plan, recognizes where the exit signs are, thinks about how they can react and where a shelter place can be among other things is the proper way to ensure more safety.” Because it’s becoming more of a frequent event, Rosado said that not only is there an active shooter program at the department, but they’re getting the information out to schools now as well. “Some schools do lock-downs or other programs which we will support,” Rosado said. “As long as they have a good plan and we have a good line of communication with them, we’re happy about that and to obviously come out and help those in anyway possible.”

Big second half leads minooka to win over edwardsville in Class 8a playoffs BY drake skleBa for the Bugle
@BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com
After watching Edwardsville (8-3) score the last 10 points of the first half, the host Minooka went to its halftime locker room trailing the Tigers 17-14. That was all the scoring Edwardsville got in Saturday’s 34-17 loss to the Indians in the Class 8A second-round playoff tilt. When a football team has not one but three Illinois High School Football Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame coaches half-time adjustments that lead to victory have been a norm for the Indians. John Belskis, along with associate coaches Terry McCombs and Bob Williams were men of few words at halftime. Toss in a few words from Indian defensive coordinator Matt Harding and the Indians did respond. An Indian second-half avalanche buried Edwardsville outscoring the Tigers 20-0 in the second half. With the win, the Indians improve to 11-0 and move on to a Class 8A Elite 8 quarterfinal game at Brother Rice (74) next Saturday in the Mount Greenwood section of Chicago. After getting a three and out on Edwardsville to start the third quarter, Minooka marched 59 yards on nine plays - capped off by a 2-yard touchdown run, by senior quarterback Seth Lehr (14 carries, 35 yards, TD). Minooka place-kicker junior Mason Spivey’s PAT was blocked for a 2017 Indian lead with 5:34 in the third quarter. After Indian kickoff specialist Trent Hudak launched his third consecutive
kickoff out of the end zone, the play of the game was next. Hampton fired a pass over the middle and Indian strong safety Ernesto Ramirez jumped the route for his seventh interception of the season at the Tiger 26 and returned it to the Tiger 11. “My defensive line put a lot of pressure on Hampton.” Ramirez said. “I was able to jump the route for the huge interception.” On a third and goal, Belskis went to his bag of trick, calling for a tight end screen. Lehr rolled to his right and then found Mike Zito wide open, on the other side of the field and the 6-foot-2, 215 pound Zito, waltzed into the end zone. Spivey’s kick made it 27-17 Indians. with 3:23 in the third quarter. With 4:40 left in the game, Ellens scored his second touchdown of the game from four yards out to put the Indians up 34-17. The Indians four minute offense actually controlled the ball for six minutes, culminating with the Ellens (23 carries,121 yards, two TD) score. In the game, Ellens passed the 1,000yard rushing mark and score his 20th touchdown of the season. “Everything starts for me up front, with my outstanding offensive line, “Ellens said. “They block for me and I just run behind them. On the 24yard touchdown run, I received great blocks on the outside that led me to the TD” Ramirez picked off his eighth interception of the season with 2:24 left and Lehr and the Indians went into the victory formation and ran out the

minooka falls to nationally-ranked Benet academy By ryan ostry Bugle staff
@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com
A loss to a 39-1 team that is ranked No. 12 in the nation by USA Today is nothing to be ashamed about. Minooka (32-8, 10-1) fell to the No.2 ranked team in the state in two sets at the supersectional, preventing them from making it to the title game at Illinois State University. “[Benet] is a great team and I think mentally we kind off took ourselves out of the game,” said coach Carrie Prosek. “Hands down they’re one of the best teams in the state, and tonight we just had too many unfortunate unforced errors.” Both sets ended in a 25-17 defeat, as the Indians never fully gained momentum or more than a few point advantage over the Redwings. The Indians roster ,who has nine seniors, three juniors and three sophomores will move onto the 2020 season without three-year
starter and captain Zoey Seput. Seput, who will be playing volleyball at the University of California, said she will miss the relationships she built the most at Minooka. “I thought our energy was a little low because we usually come out in the playoffs and get off to a great start and play with very high energy,” Seput said. “Although things do move on, I’m going to miss playing here and all of the wonderful coaches and girls I’ve had the chance to meet since being here, I will definitely miss all of them.” Prosek said with the departure of Seput and senior outside hitter and captain Desiree Anderson, the few juniors and sophomore class will play a large role next year in trying to get back deep into the playoffs. “I’m definitely going to miss their leadership and everything that they bring on and off the court,” Prosek said. “We have a very talented sophomore class though, and we will obviously rely on them a lot in the next couple years because we definitely want to be back in this position and go further every single year.”

senior setter Zoey seput and minooka posted a 32-8 season, but fell in the supersectional to Benet. ‘indians’ from Page 5 clock. Ramirez’s eighth pick of the season tied the Minooka school record for interceptions. The Indians took the opening kickoff and marched 80 yards on 14 plays and scored, as junior fullback Zach Wingerter carried the Tiger defense into the end zone from one yard out. After Spivey’s first of three PATs, the Indians led 7-0 with 7:14 in the third quarter. Edwardsville scored on a 12-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Ryan Hampton (9-for16, 139 yards, two TD, 2 INT) to senior Justin Johnson (two catches, 35 yards, two TD) to pull the Tigers even at 7-7. The Indians answered with a 10play, 80 yard drive capped off by a 24-yard scoring jaunt from Ellens for a 14-7 lead with 1:21 remaining in the first quarter. Edwardsville closed out the half with a 25-yard field goal and a 23-yard scoring pass from Hampton from to Justin Johnson. “We told the kids at halftime that we shot ourselves in the foot in the first half that led to Edwardsville’s 17 points,” Belskis said. “We challenged the kids and they responded. We had a great game plan on offense and we ran it to perfection. Our defense was outstanding shutting out Edwardsville in the second half and shutting down Justin Johnson.
“Seth (Lehr) is the man. He runs the show for us and we want to keep this train rolling. We hope to stay healthy have a great week of practice and get ready for Brother Rice.” Lehr completed 12 of his 13 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown, including going six-for-six in the second half. “We just came out of the halftime firing,” Lehr said. “My defense totally shut down Johnson. I can’t say enough about my defense. Every week my O line does it. They’re the best in the state. All of my success tonight throwing the football goes to teammates. My receivers, the O line and Noah blocking for me. Justin Johnson entered the game with 1,137 yards and 20 touchdowns. Harding’s defense held the D-1 Edwardsville back to just 56 yards on 16 carries - 35 of Johnson’s rushing yards came on one carry. “(It was a) tremendous effort by our entire defense,” Harding said. “All of our defensive coaches work together to help our defense. We had problems containing their quarterback in the first half. Our second-half adjustments relayed into what we expect in the second half — zero points for our opponent. Ernesto was outstanding for us tied the school record for interceptions and has been a great leader for us.”

don’t let emotions guide your spending habits
spending money on a bunch of stuff you don’t need and probably don’t even really want isn’t going to bring you contentment Q. I’ve gotten out of debt before following your plan, but I always seem to fall right back in. I find myself spending more than I mean to whenever I go out shopping or running errands. I’m tired of all this, and I want to stop busting my budget and get control of my money once and for all. Do you have any advice? A. Years ago, when I lost every-
thing financially, there were two or three extremely strong emotions that spurred me toward change. Probably the biggest emotion was fear. I was scared to death I’d be broke for the rest of my life and not be able to take care of my family. Don’t misunderstand me, though. I don’t think you should ever live your life in fear. But a reasonable, healthy level of fear where some things are concerned can be a fantastic moti-

vator. Another emotion was disgust. I realized the way I had been living and handling money was stupid. So, I made a proactive, conscious decision that I was going to change,
and things were going to be different. The third emotion was contentment. You know, advertisers try to make us believe our lives will be better, and we’ll be happier, if we just go out and buy their stuff. I can tell you from personal experience when this idea is crammed down your throat every day, it can warp your perception of contentment and happiness. Lots of stuff does not equal lots of happiness. If you’ve tried several times and are still falling back into the same old trap, maybe you should approach your situation in a practical, day-to-day way. Stop going places where you’re tempted to spend
money on silly things. When you go out running errands and shopping, make a list of only the bare necessities, and take along just enough cash to pay for them. Spending money on a bunch of stuff you don’t need and probably don’t even really want isn’t going to bring you contentment. It’s just going to bust your budget, and put you in a financial hole that will, sooner or later, become very difficult • if not impossible – to dig your way out of!

‘aid’ from page 7 declaration would enable residents and business owners in the approved counties, and its contiguous counties, to apply for grants as well as low-interest, long-term loans. To date, the federal government has approved public assistance funding for 28 counties in Illinois. The federal public assistance program provides grants to assist state and local governments, nonprofits and houses of worship with the response and recovery costs associated with the declared disaster. Under the guidelines of the PA program, local jurisdictions can be reimbursed for up to 75 percent of eligible costs. Based on the $61M in losses identified during the joint preliminary damage assessment, Illinois stands to receive an estimated $45.7M. Of that, FEMA has already obligated $1.3M to launch the public assistance program in Illinois. “While we are extremely disappointed that Illinois did not qualify for Individual Assistance funding, we will not give up fighting to provide resources to the citizens of Illinois,” said Alicia Tate-Nadeau, Acting IEMA Director. “We are committed to working with our federal delegation to encourage FEMA to change the eligibility requirements of the Individual Assistance program that hurts states like Illinois, and in the meantime, we will work with our state and federal partners to identify any other available resources.” The state will work with the federal delegation to encourage changes to FEMA’s rules for determining Individual Assistance grants. These rules outline six factors for funding consideration: uninsured home and personal property loss; disaster impacted population profile; impact to community infrastructure; fatalities; disaster unemployment and the state’s fiscal capacity to recover from this devastating event.
