Suspected bank robber fatally shot by police Bruce W. Carter Jr. was shot and killed after struggle with Joliet police officers BY BRIAN STANLEY Staff Reporter @BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

A suspected bank robber was fatally shot during a fight with police Feb. 6. Shortly after 9:30 a.m. Bruce W. Carter Jr., 38, allegedly walked into First Midwest Bank,

1415 W. Jefferson St., and approached a teller. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Carter handed the teller a note demanding money, but did not show he was carrying any weapons. Carter “reached over the counter and into the money drawer, removing currency... and fleeing the bank on foot,” the FBI said in a news release. The teller was not injured. Joliet Police Deputy Chief Darrell Gavin said investigators used still photographs from surveillance video at the bank and witness statements to connect the suspect to a temporary employment office in Joliet. “After Carter was identified, detectives went to different locations associated with his records, including a residence in the 200 block of South Des Plaines Street,” Gavin said. About 11:20 a.m. police arrived and began speaking with Carter when a struggle began near the front porch. “Mr. Carter was armed with a boxcutter-style razor knife during this struggle (and) the officer discharged his firearm, striking Mr. Carter,” said Ken Kroll, Chairman of the Will-Grundy Major Crimes Task Force. According to Kroll, a witness statement corroborates the physical evidence showing the struggle took place. Investigators did find a boxcutter, he said. Carter was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room at 11:55

a.m. An autopsy performed Feb. 7 at the Will County Coroner’s office shows he died from multiple gunshot wounds. “As a matter of department policy and procedure, the officer was taken to Silver Cross Hospital without physical injury, and placed on administrative leave,” Kroll said. The officer’s name is being withheld pending completion of the investigation. “Under our regulations, an officer-involved shooting has to be investigated by an outside agency, so the Major Crimes Task Force was called in,” Joliet Police Chief Al Roechner said. “Until their investigation is complete, we cannot comment on the incident.” Kroll said investigators will conduct interviews and review evidence before submitting a report to the Will County State’s Attorney’s office. The state’s attorney will determine if any charges are filed as a result of this incident. Will County Court records show that Carter pleaded guilty to armed robbery in 1999 and was sentenced to two years of probation, which was not completed satisfactorily. In 2001, the Illinois Conservation Police fined Carter $100 for fishing without a permit.

Sixth gun taken off streets in nine weeks Shorewood police finding firearms during traffic stops BY BRIAN STANLEY Staff Reporter @BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

Police seized another gun during a traffic stop — the sixth time a firearm has been found in a vehicle in the last nine weeks. “The Chief recently initiated a big increase in our traffic enforcement efforts and this has been one of the results,” Deputy Chief Eric Allen noted. Shortly after 3 p.m. Feb. 4, an officer on patrol spotted a silver Oldsmobile Alero with a cracked

windshield near Seil Road and Route 59, Allen said. The Alero went faster than the posted speed limit and the officer pulled the vehicle over near Sarah Avenue, according to reports. The Oldsmobile was driven by Brandon M. Montgomery, 26, of the 1800 block of Great Falls Drive in Plainfield and contained one passenger. “The officer approached the vehicle and could see roaches the ends of marijuana cigarettes - by the gear shift,” Allen said. “When he asked about them, the driver passed them to him and he could smell the odor of cannabis.” Police had the occupants exit the vehicle and reportedly found a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson pistol under the driver’s seat.

The weapon had a full magazine and a hollow-point round in the chamber, Allen said. Montgomery’s firearm owner’s identification card has been revoked, according to police. He was arrested on a charge of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and booked into the Will County jail. According to Will County court records, Montgomery has received several citations for traffic violations. He was ticketed for speeding by Joliet police in October and by Shorewood police in November. “I don’t think there’s a rhyme or reason to an increase in gun (recovery),” Chief Aaron Klima said. “It’s something we’re always going to look for and if they’re out there, I hope we get them.”

Local delivery nurse retires after 34 years After many years bringing babies into the world, long-time professional looks forward to retirement BY RYAN OSTRY Staff Reporter @RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

After 34 years of helping parents welcome new babies into the world, Edward Hospital’s Sandy Bumber, RN, an obstetrics (OB) nurse, put away her stethoscope for good on October 20, 2018. The Lockport resident marked the occasion by taking off on what she called Sandy B.’s retirement tour, covering Atlanta, Orlando and Myrtle Beach, S.C. In addition to more adventures ahead, her retirement will call for some adjustment. “I loved it, and if I hadn’t gotten so old I would of kept going,” Bumber said jokingly. “I’m going to miss seeing my little babies, and seeing the moms and dads faces after brining that little creation to earth.” Not long after graduating high school, Bumber married and started a

family with her husband Jim. When the youngest of her five children was about 12, she decided it was time to pursue her other lifetime goal — a career as a labor and delivery nurse. She knew school wouldn’t be easy while working and raising a family, but she persevered, earning an associate’s degree in nursing in 1984. This was soon followed by a job offer in labor and delivery at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet. When Bumber came to Edward in 1998 with 14 years of nursing experience, she was hired as a charge nurse in labor and delivery. Bumber has received the best endorsement for her role as a labor and delivery nurse from her own family members. She was invited to participate in the delivery of 11 of her grandchildren when she worked at Silver Cross Hospital and 10 of her great-grandchildren during her tenure at Edward. Bumber’s close-knit family includes daugh-

ters Cindy Eaton, 55; Trish Ruzzini, 54; Jami Swearengen, 50; Becki Beal, 48 and son Shane Bumber, 52, and their spouses. In all, Sandy has 16 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. For the 74-year-old, she said that even though she wishes she could of still kept working, she has been enjoying this nice change of pace while traveling and spending some good quality time with her family. “I had some family members and friends throw me some parties right after which was really nice. I told my kids it’s kind of like dying at your own wake, but you get to see all these people in real life come up and talk to you,” Bumber said jokingly. In Bumber’s 34 years of experience, she said that she has seen a lot over the years, but being able to help out her family during the birthing experience is something she will always cherish. “I’ve been in a lot of my own families deliveries including some of my children and grandchildren,” Bumber said. “Those have been very special for me to say I was the delivery nurse for my great grandbabies.”

Believe me, I understand what happened. Your mom loves you, and she wants the best for you. She’s willing to do whatever it takes to help her daughter succeed. What I want you both to understand going forward is that the idea you have to borrow money to attend college — or do anything else, really — is a myth. There are many ways to get a great education, and find excellent career opportunities, without borrowing a dime. Scholarships and grants

are everywhere these days. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with working before and during college to help cash-flow an education, or you can begin your studies at a community college where the costs are much less. In addition to four-year schools and community colleges, anyone looking to further their education shouldn’t ignore the possibility of trade or technical schools. At these institutions, you can get valuable training that’s highly

marketable. Not to mention completing a trade or technical school program usually takes less time and is cheaper than a bachelor’s degree. My goal here isn’t to fuss at you or beat you up, Terri. It’s just very important you understand what’s at stake — now and in the future. My hope is to give you and your mom some good information that will help each of you make smarter, more informed financial decisions down the road!

CHEERLEADING

Plainﬁeld South takes second at state BY RANDY WHALEN For the Bugle www.buglenewspapers.com

Less than two weeks ago, the Plainfield South cheerleading team made history. The Cougars came through, not only for themselves but for their school. South took home second place in the Co-Ed Division of the IHSA Competitive Cheerleading Finals that were held on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 1 and 2 at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington. It was not only the first trophy for the Cougars in the sport, but it was also only the second one ever for the school, which opened its doors for the 2002-03 school year. The only other state trophy in school history was a state championship in boys bowling in the 2009-10 school year. “Hearing our name for State Runner-Up in the coed division [that] weekend is something we will forever remember,” South coach Brooke Twohill said. “This is our third year in the coed division. We placed 4th in 2018 and 9th in 2017. I took over the program in 2015 and could not be more proud of our program growth and success. “Our goals for this season included conference champions, sectional champions, and podium in which we reached every single one of those goals. After we got off the bus from state I had the team go to our goal board and together the seniors put a check by each goal we set in May. We are currently the fourth sectional champion for our school [softball in 2008, boys track and field in 2011, and baseball in 2016], and second state trophy. We are the highest placing cheerleading team in District 202 history and have

It was the fourth consecutive trophy for the Blue Thunder, who placed second in the same division in 2016. Plainfield South (93.43) was second, Grant (93.24) took third and South Elgin (91.77) rounded out the top four teams. Buffalo Grove (91.24) which captured six straight trophies, including a trio of first place finishes (13, 15, and 16) between

2012-17 placed fifth. Lockport Township (89.44) was sixth, followed by Joliet Central (85.31) Shepard (84.56), Metea Valley (83.02), and Lake Park (80.09) rounded out the Top 10. The members of the Cougars team were seniors Orlando DeYoung, Madilyn Hall, Kaitlin McCann, and Alyssa Plata. Juniors Fabian Arteaga, Cadey Chartrand, Lillian Goorsky, Jordan Lipowski, Aubry Mikel, Bree Slaby, Ashley Suddreth, and Bria Trenor. Sophomores Jairus Bowman, Tenley Brown, Ellie Grundon, Jazmin Jimenez, David Ochoa, Isabella Rios, Maggie Schoener, and Devin Stapleton. Freshman Emilee Trunnell rounded out the squad. Assistant coaches were Emily

Durham, Alyssa Padilla, and Keri Storako. “It felt so rewarding to accomplish something with my teammates that we’ve been working at for so long,” said DeYoung, who was a three-year varsity member and the only male senior on the team. “We put so much time and effort into this and getting a trophy as a physical representation of our hard work is an amazing feeling. “From the beginning of the season, I felt that we would be successful. But I think it really hit me that we could be one of the top teams in the state when we put a large emphasis on the smaller details of our routine and started to see how that was being positively reflected on the

scoresheet.” His senior teammates agreed. “Being able to be named one of the top two teams in the state is incredibly rewarding and a memory that will last a lifetime,” McCann, a 2-year varsity member said. “It still feels surreal but knowing that the hard work, time, and commit our coaches, parents, volunteers, and every athlete on this team paid off is the most rewarding thing. “I think I knew a top team finish in the state was possible outside of competitions and inside practice. I could really feel the love everybody in practice had for not only each other but this sport. I knew we were all on the SEE SOUTH PAGE 7

BASKETBALL

Porters believe they are back

BY RANDY WHALEN For the Bugle www.buglenewspapers.com

The Lockport Township boys basketball team still believes. After getting off to a great start with records of 7-2 and 11-5, the Porters have hit a rough patch in the last three weeks. Heading into a makeup game at Joliet Central on Monday, Feb. 11, Lockport (12-9) had lost four-of-five. But there was a game last week that showed that the Porters believe they are back. That was a 68-38 victory over Lincoln-Way East in a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division matchup on Wednesday evening, Feb. 6 at Lockport. The game was originally scheduled for the day before but was postponed 24 hours because of an impending ice storm.

That broke a 3-game losing streak for Lockport, all by double digits. The first two of those losses were to sub .500 teams, Plainfield South and Stagg. So what turned it around against East? “Our defense was awesome,” Lockport coach Brett Hespell said. “We had a game plan [to shut down the Griffin main scorers] and we executed it. I think this [resurgence] started in the second half of the Bolingbrook game. We got that moxie back. If I could bottle it up I’d sell it.” That moxie was started by a 5-foot-5 senior guard, who is not known for his scoring. That’s Aaron Grcevic. With Lockport trailing by 29 points with a minute left in the first half on Friday, Feb. 1 at Bolingbrook, Grcevic scored eight straight points to help propel the Porters, who cut that deficit to 10 just over a

minute into the fourth quarter before eventually losing 77-63. That performance earned Grcevic his first ever varsity start five days later against East. He delivered by hitting a trio of 3-pointers and finishing with nine points. “I’m always ready and I was ready [against East],” said Grcevic, who established a new career-high for the second game in a row with the nine points. “This was our team, this is the real Lockport Porters. This is how we play. We got our confidence back, our swagger back. Now we just have to steamroll forward.” Hespell believes that Grcevic epitomizes what it takes to be a Porter. “We have a theme of ‘uncommon’ and that’s Aaron,” Hespell said. “He’s always had the same attitude, the same commitment.

That’s what he’s always been.” In the win over East, the Porters looked the part that they had been for the first seven weeks of the season. The Griffins actually scored first when junior forward Ryan Sierocki, who scored 15 of his game-high 17 points in the first half knocked down a 10-foot jumper 30 seconds into the game. But the Porters took the lead for good by scoring the next seven points. Ahead 7-6 senior guard Matt Hatzopoulis, who had a trio of trey’s in the first quarter, hit back-to-back 3-pointers to extend the lead to seven. Lockport led 18-9 after the first quarter. It was 20-11 with 6:24 left in the first half, and that was as close as it got the rest of the way. Grcevic hit consecutive 3-pointers to put the Porters ahead 3115 with 2:40 to play in the first

half. A 25-foot 3-pointer by Sierocki at the buzzer closed the Griffins within 32-19 at halftime. A free throw by senior forward Lemone Lampley II in the opening seconds of the third quarter closed the gap to 12 points. But senior guard Jake Karli (13 points) poured in eight points and Hatzopoulis scored seven in a 17-2 blitz for a 49-22 lead. East answered with a 9-0 run but the Porters led 52-31 at the end of three thanks to another 3-pointer by Grcevic at the buzzer. The score never got closer in the fourth quarter. Senior center Tommy Halatek (9 points, 8 rebounds), along with senior guards Blake Sartin (7 points), and John Vassilakis (7 points) rounded out the balanced Porter attack.

The victory kept No. 15 USF (207, 15-3 CCAC) tied atop the conference with Cardinal Stritch University with two games remaining in the regular season. St. Francis also secured a home game in the CCAC Tournament Quarterfinals on Wednesday, February 20.

At points, everyone was tired and kinda wanted to give up but hearing our name called made all the work worth it. “We had a really amazing season, one I will remember forever. There were times where

Davidson (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North) gave St. Francis a spark with jumpers on back-toback possessions. HCC extended its lead back to 16 but USF trimmed its deficit to nine with an 11-4 run over the final four minutes of the third quarter. Aylward scored six for the Saints during the spurt and Shadrian McDaniel (Chicago, Ill./Kenwood Academy) nailed a 3-pointer as the period expired. Now back within single digits for the first time since early in the second quarter, St. Francis opened up the final period with six straight points. Holy Cross kept the visitors at bay for until Kaitlin Aylward (Elmwood Park, Ill./Trinity) hit a 3-pointer to give USF its first lead of the game with

3:06 to play. From that moment forward, St. Francis did not relinquish its advantage. USF’s 8-for-10 clip from the foul line in the final two minutes helped seal the key conference victory. St. Francis outscored HCC 4423 in the second half. On the defensive end, USF limited the hosts to just 22.6 percent from the field in the final 20 minutes. Aylward sparked the offense with 17 of her 30 points in the final two quarters, helping the brown & gold to a 50-percent clip from the floor. Leah Sims (Chicago, Ill./South Shore) and Davidson combined for 18 of their 21 total points in the second half. Sims added three assists and three steals while Andriana Acosta (Crest Hill, Ill./

Joliet Catholic) grabbed six of her team-high eight boards on the offensive end. Alex Forster, Jessica Norris and Keysha Streater all reached double figures for Holy Cross. HCC built its lead by shooting 62.5 percent from the field and knocking down six 3-pointers in the first half. • The University of St. Francis men’s tennis team fell to NCAA Division I Northern Illinois University at the Vaughan Tennis Center on Sunday. The Saints (0-7) again battled, taking doubles matches in both losses.

Looking to go 3-0 against NCAA DI foes this weekend, Millan Vetokhin and Mishra led 5-4 at No. 1 before NIU’s Mikko Malinen and Victor Spolidorio found another gear to take the set 7-5 and give the Huskies the doubles point.

of-48 from the field against Lockport. Hatzopoulis announced on Feb. 5 that he was going to continue his basketball career at Illinois College. He was very happy with that and very happy to help the Porters get back on track against East. “We had a rough two weeks and we needed to breakout again,” Hatzopoulis said. “This is who we really are. We weren’t

playing like ourselves but this is normal. We are back on track. I’m just looking forward to playing the way we can. I think we’re the best team around here.” Two days later Hatzopoulis led Lockport again with 14 points. But the Porters couldn’t continue their strong play in the second half and fell 74-57 to host Homewood-Flossmoor in another SWSC Blue game on Friday, Feb. 8.

Lockport (3-4 in the SWSC Blue) led early in the game at H-F, pulling out to a 16-13 lead after the first quarter. But the Vikings (18-5, 6-1) took a 32-27 halftime lead and pulled away from there. Hatzopoulis had 11 points at halftime, but was held to three in the second half. Senior forward Issac Stanback (22 points, 16 rebounds) and senior guard Maurion Scott (18 points) led H-F, which is ranked in the

Chicago area and is tied with Bolingbrook for the SWSC Blue lead. There was no time for the Porters to dwell on that loss. They were scheduled to play five games in the final week and a half of the regular season. “We’ve got to be playing good down the stretch,” Hespell said. “It’s all about the journey. It’s about taking the good with the bad.”

when we were winning all these invitationals that I realized that this year we could be our year, that we could no longer be counted out and at that point. That’s when everyone really knew we couldn’t settle and had to keep pushing for more.” Hall was on the varsity the past three years. She will also never forget it. “Getting podium was probably the most rewarding feeling because we as a team finished our last puzzle piece, we worked so hard, and for it to have finally paid off was a very special moment. I think for me after a couple competitions after getting our score sheets back and hearing such positive feedback and encouraging suggestions from judges and then people wanting to work with us because they could see the potential it really

hit me. “Plainfield South varsity cheer has such a special place in my heart and I know in my teammate’s heart as well. For next year they just need to remember the feeling from state ‘18-19 and strive for more. Our success stems from the love we have for each other and our coaches.” With a majority of the team expected back next season, another state trophy is very possible. “As a senior, I hope that as many of my teammates are going to continue to cheer on Plainfield South varsity cheer in the following years,” McCann said. “I know all this team has brought me in the past years and I hope that they continue to grow with Plainfield South varsity cheer. I think having as many previous athletes on the team would help for future goals

as I feel one of the main reasons for our success was not only our coaches but our relationships with our teammates. Our trust in each other made us a family and took us to what we have accomplished this season.” DeYoung agreed. “This year a lot of the team were sophomores and juniors,” he said. “I have no doubts that next year they will step up and guide the people who may not have had the chance to perform with Plainfield South varsity cheer in previous years. Also having full trust in their coaches will help them succeed through-

out their season and hopefully end up in that top spot.” While Plata is graduating she’s excited at the prospect of the Cougars moving up to the top spot in the state. “Everyone goes their separate ways each year and you gain some and you lose some, but I believe that’s what makes Plainfield South varsity cheer. The challenge to come together as a family and fight for what you want. There is no doubt in my mind that coach Twohill can lead the Cougars to a state title, and I wish them nothing but the best.”
