ELECTION 2017 >> JOLIET CITY COUNCIL

Campaign mailer draws concern

‘Someone accessed the home addresses of every single Joliet police ofﬁcer and is in possession of such a list’ BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

A campaign mailing sent to the homes of Joliet policemen by a candidate running for an at-large city council seat in the April 4 election stirred concern at a recent public meeting. Two incumbent candidates running for re-election also took a moment to criticize the actions of their opponent. Mike DeVito, president of the Joliet patrol officer’s union, noted the dangers that police officers across the nation face in today’s world and said an issue has now been raised in the city. “This is deeply concerning not because of the content of the political mailer, but because someone accessed the home addresses of every single Joliet police officer and is in possession of such a list,” he said. “Our officers proudly come to work everyday in hopes of making the community a safer place to live for all our residents. We should not have to be worried about the safety our spouses and children when they’re home and the officers are on their respective shifts.” “While we can appreciate the need for a political candidate to try and win votes any way that he or she can, I’m concerned about these recent turn of events,” DeVito said. DeVito insisted that Rachel Ventura, who is running for an at-large city council seat, publicly apologize and said he would like for her to reveal who provided her with this confidential information. Ventura took to the podium to explain what happened to the Joliet City Council. “I bought the voter list from the county clerk’s office, which is available to all people running as a candidate,” she said. “I then looked on our city website where our salaries are posted because we, as taxpayers, have the right to know the names, who we pay for, the titles, and how much we get paid. I then compared the names of the police officers on that list to the voter records.”

Councilwoman Jan Quillman said as a wife of a police officer, she finds this very disheartening. “I have been running for a long time and I’ve never had access, and nor if I did I would never have used that list for my own benefit because I know what risk it could put not only the police officer, but his family’s risk especially if they’re undercover, ” she said. “I just can’t believe this.” Councilwoman Brooke Hernandez Brewer noted that she’s the wife of a deputy for the county and said she’s also concerned. “Even putting together a list like that, endangers the life of our officers,” she said. “The fact that you’re not aware of that and that you would put a political move above the safety of our children,… I’m sorry but our children, his children, any other officer’s child is way more important than putting together a list like that. Do you know what could happen if those lists get into the wrong hands?” Ventura questioned the extent to which her mailing put lives at risk and said she sent a mailing that identified the recipient’s name, just like any other individual could receive. Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he’s aware of the situation at hand. “I think the issue is because it’s happened since I’ve been here it’s happened twice where a Joliet policeman had their houses shot up,” O’Dekirk said. “One officer his house was shot with an AK-47. So, it’s information that’s very closely kept on the police department. It’s even state law— now, it wasn’t when I was a policeman— but police officers don’t have to list their home addresses on their driver’s licenses. So, it’s somewhat of a concern.” “I know Inspector General [Chris] Regis is looking into it, and Chief [Brian Benton,] I think you have an internal investigation going on this,” O’Dekirk said. “Just to make it clear, I don’t have access to that roster. The chief doesn’t have access to that roster. So, I don’t know it could’ve been leaked, but we’re going to find out.”

A candidate luncheon, hosted by the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce &, featured introductions by 11 of 15 individuals running for open at-large city council positions.

Council candidates express views, interests Candidates vying for one of three at-large council positions BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Candidates vying for one of three at-large council positions in the April 4 election looked to express their views and interests during a March 23 chamber luncheon. The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry held the forum with the intention of introducing the candidates, which 11 of the 15 attended. One other candidate submitted a statement to be read. Brooke Hernandez Brewer wants to serve on the council for another term. Hernandez Brewer noted that her passion lies within Joliet and said she wants everyone to know that it is her desire to see the city being regarded by her children, just as she does. “I want to give them a city that makes them want to make the same choice my husband and I made and our parents made, which was to raise our family in Joliet,” she said. Hernandez Brewer said among the many things she’d like to see through as a councilwoman includes an initiative bringing a pipeline of Lake Michigan Water to the

City of Joliet. Don Dickinson noted that he’s been very active in the community over the years and said he wants to serve the community in another capacity, but this time around as a council member. “The reason why I’m running is because I want to help bring better paying jobs to Joliet,” he said. “I feel it’s important. We have so many jobs out there that are in warehouses, and people sometimes need to work more than one job, just to survive. It shouldn’t be that way.” Dickinson said the city must also work on its long-term bonding to improve public infrastructure. “You can’t go down your neighborhood street without seeing a patch,” he said. “That’s simply unacceptable. We need to work on our streets. We need to work on our infrastructure.” Jan Quillman noted that she’s been serving the residents for Joliet the last 12 years and said though she’s seen the city experience tough times, she wants to see it continue to thrive. “We’ve worked hard for those tough years, and since then, we have seen stabilization and growth,” she said. “Thousands of jobs have been brought into the city and many corporate headquarters are now considering moving to Joliet. Building permits are up for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. These add up to increasing the city’s tax base.” Quillman said she has a number

of priorities she’d like to take on if re-elected. “I want to continue to work for the residents, keep the economy growing strong, keep property taxes down while improving our infrastructure and city services, expand our police department and in turn expand our neighborhood policing to keep our neighborhoods safe, attract new business, and help secure a new water source to [avoid] a problem in the future,” she said. “We are the crossroads of midAmerica, and Joliet is experiencing a new renaissance. We are in this together, and we are a city for everyone. I want to continue with the work we have started.” Michael Turk said many good things are happening in Joliet and he wants this trend to continue. “The downtown looks like it’s on the verge of some great developments,” he said. Turk said with all that’s happening in the city, he hopes that he can continue to serve on the council and make a difference moving forward. “I appreciate the time I have spent on the city council, and it’s a position I take very seriously,” he said. “It takes a lot of hours to perform my duties as a council person effectively. I have strived to do that with a high degree of integrity.” Rachel Ventura was not in attendance for the luncheon, but submitted a statement to be read. SEE COUNCIL PAGE 5

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 4 Ventura wants to work with the City Center Partnership to ensure Joliet becomes a tourist destination. Ventura intends to change the city’s image by bringing up policing levels and reintroducing programs in the schools, such as Drug Abuse Resistance Education. Betty Washington referenced the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and said her aspiration is it to serve the community as an advocate for quality education, jobs that pay a living wage and economic growth and development for every segment of the city. “I hope to become an instrumental member of the city council using all my energies to bring about constructive and positive change, which affects all residents of the City of Joliet,” she said. Washington added that she has a sincere interest in serving all of the city’s residents, not just a select few. Diane Harris said she’s worked hard to achieve what she’s accomplished over the years and said now that she’s retired, it’s time to work for the community where she lives. “My focus is to promote innovativeness, cleaning up our corridors and reducing crime thorough ordinance enforcement [to] make the city more inviting to new businesses,” she said. Harris said she’s ready to work for the people. “As an alternative to raising taxes, I support renewable energy projects,”

she said. “I am the only candidate in the race with experience who has handson experience in the U.S. infrastructure [system.]” Mark Ragusa said he thinks that he holds a good understanding of the community and the things its people value. “My father was a battalion chief on the Joliet Fire Department and my uncle was a captain on the Joliet Police Department,” he said. “I feel I have a good perspective on how important those departments are to the city and to the residents of Joliet.” Ragusa said he has many transferrable skills and hopes to use them by serving on the council. “I have managed multi-million dollar projects as well as large staffs of engineers,” he said. “I’ve always been able to foster good relationship between all levels of staff, bringing consensus and driving successful solutions.” “I’m running for Joliet City Council because I believe we need strong, innovative leadership to continue to grow the city that I believe in,” he said. “I can use my leadership and management skills to accomplish those goals.” Roger Powel Sr. said the reason he’s running is because he believes in “giving back.” “I’m a worker, I’m not the type of person to sit back and just talk,” he said. “I get things done.” Powell wants to see city open up Chicago Street. “You have to understand that this is very, very important,” he said.

Alex Rodriguez said he’s running because he believes the city has fallen behind when it comes to its neighbors. “I believe in this city,” he said “I believe that the American dream is alive in this city. I’ve been blessed to live it. When I first came to live in Joliet, my family and I stayed at the Daybreak Center. Now, my wife and I own a home in the [heart] of it.” Rodriguez wants to see the city thrive. “I believe that government’s role should be to empower people, encourage home ownership, encourage small business,” Rodriguez said. “I believe in limited government, low taxes, low-regulation. I think that’s the kind of things that empower people and empower business.” Larry Crawford said he’s honored to live in a strong city where there are 14 other candidates looking to run for city council. “I think that speak volumes about the kind of city we have,” he said. Crawford wants to help the city to grow. “I think the experience of some of the people who are running is going be useful in terms of what the future might hold for our city, but at the same time we could [really be enriched] by a candidate, like myself, who will bring the voice of the people to that council and represent you,” he said. Candidates who did not attend or send statements were Christian Egwunwoke, Nathaniel Romeo and Michelle Stiff.

Benet’s Katie Jaseckas is 2017 Voyager Media Girls Basketball Player of the Year BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

During Benet Academy’s backto-back state title runs in 2015 and 2016, much of the attention was givn to the guard play on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. With guards like Kathleen Doyle leading the way, Benet was known its full court press as well as ability to shoot from the perimeter. One of the biggest reasons the Redwings had that luxury was the play of Katie Jaseckas. Jaseckas, the 6-foot, 1-inch, Truman State-bound center, leaves the program as its all-time leader in rebounds (741) and second in blocked shots (209). It was that play that allows the guards to shoot threes, knowing Jaseckas would be there for the rebound and apply pressure knowing if a team beat the press, they had her guarding the rim. “Katie has been the backstop

behind the Redwings full court press for the past three seasons,” said Benet coach Joe Kilbride. “She is one of the best shot blockers and rebounders in the school’s history and has been the starting center for Benet teams that have compiled a 94-11 record in her three full seasons on varsity.” This season, Jaseckas averaged 12 points, 8 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.9 steals per game and led Benet to a 28-5 record and a sectional title. For those accomplishments, she has been named the 2017 Voyager Media girls basketball Player of the Year. Jaseckas was also named to the East Suburban Catholic Conference team, was all-tournament at the Montini Holiday Tournament and was the Most Valuable Player at the Naperville North Holiday Tournament. She was also named to the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association second team all-state. With talent surrounding her all

But when the playoffs came, she wanted to. “In the playoffs, I knew I didn’t want to go home,” she said. “I knew I had to do whatever it took. All year, we always knew someone would pick up the slack. If I wasn’t having a good game, I would just do the dirty work like get a rebound and pass the ball to whoever was hot.” She said that while the championships were a great bonus, he time at Benet was not all about the wins. “I couldn’t have asked for anything more amazing than the teams I have had and the ride that I had at Benet,” Jaseckas said. “Coach Kilbride made it a phenomenal program. I just love spending time with my team. Winning state two years in a row and this year we won the sectional and had so much fun. This year after we lost, on the ride home, we cried and then we had a dance party on the bus because it was our last time together.” Other members of the Voyager Media All-Area first team are:

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

Debt doesn’t have to be a relationship deal breaker DEAR DAVE, One of my relatives just graduated from college with $20,000 in student loan debt. Her boyfriend graduated, too, and he has over $100,000 in student loan debt. They want to get married, so she’s looking for a job. He wants to go to graduate school, and take out more loans to remain a full-time student. The idea of even more debt hanging over their heads really bothers her. Do you have any advice? DENISE DEAR DENISE, You don’t throw away a great, potentially lifelong, relationship just because of debt. Things like laziness, dishonesty, and irresponsible behavior are deal breakers, though. Those are flaws that usually don’t go away. I’m glad she’s looking for a job, but her boyfriend needs to be working, too. There’s no excuse for either of them being full-time students with more than $120,000 in combined student loan debt hanging

However, if he realizes how damaging additional debt could be to their relationship, and he’s willing to work while continuing his education, I think their future together looks much brighter. —DAVE

over their heads. Lots of people hold down real jobs, save money, and further their educations on a part-time basis. If she were my niece, I would encourage her to have an open and honest discussion with her boyfriend about their future, and how he plans on paying for graduate school. She also needs to be very real about her feelings in this situation. If, after that, he still wants to just borrow more money and not work outside of school, then she might have a difficult decision ahead.
