New hotel welcomes visitors to Joliet Holiday Inn and Suites on Houbolt Road and I-80 opened late last month

BY MARNEY SIMON Enterprise Staff @PlainfieldNews news@enterprisepublications.com

The developers of a new hotel in Joliet hope their business becomes a nature-adjacent oasis for those looking to stay in the city.

The Holiday Inn and Suites on Houbolt Road and I-80 opened late last month. On May 1, Sejal Patel, a partner with the Hospi-

tality Guru Group, gave a brief presentation to members of the Joliet City Council on the new facility and what it has to offer.

Construction began five years ago on the 120-room Holiday in, which sits on an 11-acre lot inside the Rock Run Business Park.

The new hotel features suites, a pool, hot tub and sauna, a workout facility, patio, and new restaurant.

Patel said the developers worked with the city to create a relaxing space that fits in with local nature trails.

“One of the things we felt really strongly about was creating a nice public space for the community,” Patel said. “Outdoor space is very important to us, and we were able to maintain the outdoor space.

This building doesn’t actually have a back, there’s no, sort of, back of the building, so all four sides have been beautified. It turned out really nice and we see a lot of guests spending time out

Police officers to stake out nearly 300 Dunkin’ Donuts On May 18 area police officers again taking to rooftops to raise funds for Illinois Special Olympics For the 16th year in a row, law enforcement officers from throughout the state will rise to the occasion and support Special Olympics Illinois atop nearly 300 Dunkin’ Donuts rooftops on Friday, May 18, beginning at 5 a.m. until noon.

Officers hope to top last year’s donation total of more than $700,000 from 272 rooftops as they go to new heights to raise awareness and donations for the Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics Illinois.

Special Olympics athletes and their families and representatives from Chicago’s major sports teams are among the special guests who will join police officers and show their support.

In honor of the Special Olympics athletes and law enforcement participating in the rooftop event, Dunkin’ Donuts will donate $15,000 to the Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run. In addition, each guest who visits a Cop on a Rooftop location that day and makes a donation to the Torch Run will receive a free donut coupon. Guests donating at least $10 will receive a Law En-

forcement Torch Run travel mug (while supplies last) and a coupon for free medium coffee. Other items, such as Torch Run T-shirts and raffle tickets, will be sold for various donation amounts. Additional activities will vary by Dunkin’ Donuts location.

Dunkin’ Donuts also has created a special glazed red and white donut ring depicting Special Olympics Illinois colors. The donut, called “The Champion,” will be available at Dunkin’ Donuts locations in Chicago and suburbs May 18.

Detective Robbie Peterson of the West Chicago Police Department says “Cop on a Rooftop is important because it puts the athletes of Special Olympics in the forefront that day across the state of Illinois and gives us, law enforcement officers, an opportunity to interact with our community in a positive manner. My involvement with Special Olym-

pics is truly an honor and another chance to uphold the oath I took when I was hired....to protect and serve.”

Special Olympics Athlete Becky Cavanagh of Clarendon Hills adds,” Eating donuts is my favorite part of Cop on a Rooftop. Then I like talking to Detective Robbie and all the nice people who donate.”

LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS WILL BE AT THE FOLLOWING DUNKIN’ DONUTS: • 1724 N Plainfield Rd Crest Hill • 4708 Caton Farm Rd Joliet • 3011 Plainfield Rd Joliet • 1350 Houbolt Rd Joliet • 20 S Larkin Ave Joliet • 422 S. Chicago St Joliet • 1069 E 9th St Lockport • 13313 S State Route 59 Plainfield

here… We really wanted to create a facility that connected to nature. In all the public spaces, you have a view of the outside, which we still have some work to beautify, but well get there.”

The new hotel also includes the Rock Run Convention Center, a 6,000 square-foot banquet space as well as 2,000 square feet of break-out meeting space.

The new hotel also includes a new restaurant, Burger Theory, one of 21 Holiday Inn-owned restaurants in the county. The restaurant opened in late April.

Council members, asking about hours of the new restaurant, were told that hours could be adjusted based on clientele.

Patel said the depending on events, the building could house up to 1,000 people at any given time.

Thanked members of the city for their input and working together on the project.

“We’ve created a very beautiful and safe structure for the city of Joliet… I think we collectively created something nice,” Patel said.

WILL COUNTY

Food Bank hosts opening for new center Supporters of Northern Illinois Food Bank recently joined in a public grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony Nearly 200 community members and supporters of Northern Illinois Food Bank recently joined in a public grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the Food Bank’s new South Suburban Center, located on South Larkin Avenue in Joliet.

The new center will support 175 local food pantries and feeding programs that currently work with the Food Bank to either receive food deliveries or schedule pickups from the main headquarters located in Geneva.

The event included remarks from Northern Illinois Food Bank president and CEO, Julie Yurko; Geneace Williams, Food Bank chairwoman; Joliet Mayor Bob O’DeKirk, Will County Executive Larry Walsh, and Congressman Bill Foster.

“We’re thrilled to bring this much-needed resource to the communities of the south suburbs, and humbled by the support we’ve received to make this a reality,” said Yurko.

“The South Suburban Center improves access to fresh foods like dairy products and vegetables and helps our partner agencies

get fresh food and other staples to their clients more efficiently, especially in those areas we’ve determined to be high-need.”

The South Suburban Center occupies a former Cub Foods location, owned by Harvest Bible Chapel, and made use of existing dock access, refrigeration and freezer walls.

In addition to food storage capacity and access for agencies, the warehouse has been configured to provide food sorting/packing space for volunteers, as well as offices for Food Bank staff.

With the increased food distribution and volunteer capacity at the South Suburban Center, the Food Bank will be able to provide an additional million meals annually to residents in Will, Grundy, Kendall and Kankakee counties.

Right now, the Food Bank supplies more than 14 million meals to nearly 80,000 food insecure residents in those counties; with more than half being children.

The Joliet facility is the fourth distribution center operated by Northern Illinois Food Bank, which currently manages three distribution centers: Northwest Center

(Rockford), North Suburban Center (Park City), and West Suburban Center (Geneva).

“Fresh food is so essential to what we can provide our clients, and our partnership with Northern

Illinois Food Bank helps us make a difference in their lives every day,” said Dawn MacGregor, Executive Director of St. John Lutheran Church Food Pantry in Joliet. “The new Center means we have in-

creased access to food, helping more of our neighbors who are hungry.”

The Food Bank has been raising funds for the fourth distribution center since 2015 and has raised more than $855,000 to date to remodel and build out the facility.

Every year, more than half a million people across Northern Illinois visit the Food Bank’s network of 800 food pantries and soup kitchens for groceries or a hot meal.

Last year alone, Northern Illinois Food Bank distributed more than 65.5 million meals to people in need across its 13-county service area through programs such as its Mobile Pantry, Senior Grocery, Milk2MyPlate, After School Meals and BackPack programs.

Great Migration brought more than 500,000 to Illinois Victory Bell can still remember the night when he boarded the Illinois Central Railroad

BY CHUCK SWEENY OF THE ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR Victory Bell can still remember the night when he boarded the Illinois Central Railroad’s City of New Orleans in Durant, Mississippi, bound for Chicago, then changing trains and ending up in Rockford.

It was 1945, at the height of the Jim Crow apartheid in Dixie that purposely kept blacks poor with few rights. Bell, his mother and siblings were headed north to join his father, who had already moved north to get a factory job.

“We had been sharecroppers,” the 83-year old Bell remembers working near Durant, 60 miles north of Jackson. The family had eked out a living, but opportunities for advancement just were not there for black folks.

“I remember it was in the middle of the night when we boarded the train.

We had to sit in the black section.

When we got to Illinois, the conductor said we could sit anywhere we liked on the train,” Bell said, “and we no longer had to say ‘sir ‘or ‘ma’am’ to white people, which was new to us.”

His uncle and father had come to Rockford in 1943 and 1944 to get jobs that paid better than sharecropping.

“The machine tool businesses were very aggressive in hiring at that time, and people were able to come to Illinois and get jobs at various machine companies and make a decent salary,” Bell said.

Illinois’ manufacturing industries were working around the clock to turn out planes, tanks, guns and bullets for the armed forces during World War II. The state’s manufacturers continued to boom after the war.

Bell is a living embodiment of The Great Migration, the movement from 1916 to 1970 of 6 million to 7 million black Americans from the states of the old Confederacy to the North. More than 500,000 came to Illinois.

They were fleeing legal oppression.

They were looking for better lives for their families, and for the rights to vote, to participate in their government, to serve on juries — in other words, to exercise all their rights as U.S. citizens.

Yes, these freedoms had been won in the Civil War, but when Reconstruction ended in 1877 and the U.S. Army withdrew from its occupation of the former rebel states, white Democrats reasserted their total control and suppression of the “freedmen,” as slaves were called after the war.

From 1900 through the 1920s, whites erected monuments throughout the South in honor of rebel leaders to demonstrate in granite and metal who was back in charge.

The Great Migration’s beginnings also coincided with World War I, when immigration from Europe slowed to a trickle and factories were short of workers.

Migration to the North slowed during the Great Depression of the 1930s but picked up again during World War II and in post-war years when highways were better and cars were relatively cheap.

Although prejudice was not absent in northern Illinois, it wasn’t codified into state laws that were sometimes enforced by night riders in hoods carrying torches.

“When I came to Rockford I was 7 or 8 years old. I started school that same year and I had a great homeroom teacher, Mrs. Burns,” Bell said.

Bell had never been to an integrated school before because they did not exist under the mandated segregation of Mississippi.

“Mrs. Burns was the kindest person and made sure I was comfortable in the school. She never showed prejudice. She had a clear understanding of how to help all the kids learn.”

Bell learned well. He got a job as a janitor with the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. and advanced to lineman, installer and then supervisor. Active in Democratic Party politics, Bell became Rockford’s first black alderman in 1971, a post he held for more than 30 years before he retired.

“We knew there was a different standard for blacks here, but Illinois was not as openly prejudiced. Mississippi was just a terrible, terrible place to be in if you were black,” Bell said. “We were kept out of school until November to pick cotton.”

Looking back, Bell said that boarding that train so many years ago “was the best thing we could have ever done.”

WILL COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Supervisor charged with Criminal Sexual Abuse Wendy’s Restaurant supervisor Phillip W. Buroff, 25, charged Will County Sheriff Mike Kelley is announcing the arrest of Philip W. Buroff, 25, formerly of Orland Park, currently residing in Frankfort with acquaintances.

Buroff will appear in court at Monday May 14 for a bond hearing on charges of two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse/ages 13 to 18 and two counts of aggravated criminal

sexual abuse.

In April 2018, Sheriff’s detectives began investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by a Wendy’s Restaurant supervisor, Philip Buroff and an under-age female (victim) employee. The victim stated that she and Buroff worked together at the restaurant in Mokena and became friends.

Over a year-long period of time the relationship expanded to inappropriate sexual advancements over cellphone texting and a private social media site and eventually turned into engaging in sex.

Sheriff’s detectives brought

Buroff in for questioning on May 7, where he made statements implicating himself and stated that he was aware of the victim being 16 years of age. He was arrested and brought to the Adult Detention Facility.

Detectives are asking anyone that may have information about Buroff having any other potential relationships with under-age victims to please call Detective Burket at 727-8574 ext. 4965.

Philip Buroff has been a supervisor at several Wendy’s restaurants in the areas of Frankfort, Mokena, Manteno, and Matteson.

WILL COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY

Judge hands down max sentence to janitor who recorded girls Ryan Thompson, 28, of Joliet, receives five years for 2017 unauthorized video recording of junior high girls while they were in school locker room Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow announces that a former janitor at a Crest Hill junior high school has been sentenced to five years in prison for making secret video recordings of adolescent girls in a locker room last year.

Ryan Thompson, 28, of Joliet, pleaded guilty in January to two counts of Unauthorized Video Recording, a Class 3 Felony that carried a potential penalty ranging from probation to 2-5 years in prison.

Circuit Judge Dave Carlson handed down the maximum sentence, noting that a psycho-sexual evaluation of the defendant conducted after his guilty plea showed he had an above average risk of committing similar offenses in the future.

The defendant hid behind the closed door of a utility room and used a cellular telephone to secretly record the female victims between February and March of 2017. The four video recordings did not capture the girls while

they were unclothed.

State’s Attorney Glasgow praised his prosecutor, Elizabeth Domagalla, with securing a guilty plea and sentence that takes Thompson off the streets.

“Assistant State’s Attorney Domagalla resourcefully utilized an extremely damning psychosexual evaluation to argue that a prison sentence was absolutely necessary in this case, even though the defendant had no criminal record,” State’s Attorney Glasgow said. “Judge Carlson heard her arguments and handed down the maximum sentence, noting that anything less would have deprecated the serious nature of this crime.”

GOOD NEWS,

MAYBE Porters beat No. 1 seed LincolnWay Central - need to find a way past Lincoln-Way East

BY RANDY WHALEN For the Bugle www.buglenewspapers.com

When the postseason opens next week, the good news for the Lockport Township softball team is that its done very well against the No. 1 seeded team in the Class 4A Joliet West Sectional.

That’s Lincoln-Way Central, which the Porters pounded out 18 hits against and defeated 8-2 on Tuesday, May 8 in New Lenox. That was their fourth victory in three seasons over Central, including an 11-5 win in the semifinals of the Class 4A Minooka Sectional last year.

So if Lockport (24-5 through May 12) matches up with the the Knights (24-3 through May 12) again, they would be trending well.

There is an issue for the Porters, however. If they win the regional, which they host next week, they would likely

face Lincoln-Way East (21-1 through May 12) in a sectional semifinal.

On Monday, May 7 in Frankfort, East clubbed the Porters 10-2. It was the 11th straight victory for the Griffins over Lockport. That streak started with an 11-5 loss on June 5, 2014 in in the semifinals of the Class 4A Andrew Sectional. It’s encompassed two other postseason games, including a 5-0 East win in the title game of the Minooka Sectional last year, and hasn’t stopped since.

So if it gets to that point, how do the Porters stop the losing streak?

“We all need to just go stick with the game plan at the plate,” Lockport senior first baseman Tara McElligott said of facing East. “[East ace] Alex Storako is a great pitcher. But we can’t just go out and swing at her rise ball. We have to let SEE PORTERS PAGE 8

Lockport needs to find a way past Lincoln-Way East to make a deep playoff run.

PORTERS FROM PAGE 7 her do the work.”

In her latest game, Storko made short work of the Porters. Although she surrendered six hits, she struck out 14 and was just as dominant at the plate. There she had a 3-for-3 performance, four RBI game that included a pair of doubles and a solo home run to right in the sixth. McElligott did hit her 13th home run of the season in the game. At the conclusion of last week McElligott was batting .404 with 39 RBI. But rather than focus on what they did wrong against East, the Porters focused on what went right the next day against Central. After all, that’s what got them positive results.

“We told the kids that hits

are going to happen,” Lockport coach Marissa Chovanec said after the Central win. “But we made the plays that we should, and we played errorless ball [against the Knight]. That’s what we’re striving for. Putting all three pieces together is what we’re looking to do at the end of the season. Getting back focused and enjoying this game has got us back on track.”

Taylor Herschbach (3-for-4, HR, RBI) also had a big game against Central. As of May 12 the senior center fielder was batting .455 with 18 extra base hits and 28 RBI. “We just came with a different mind set,” Herschbach said of the Central game compared to the day before against East.

We just have to have each others backs and keep it going.”

The whole Porter outfield has kept it going at the plate, as they have been hitting the ball all over the place. Senior Taylor Shingler finished last week with a .511 average with 16 RBI, and junior Lauren Johnson has been on fire all season, batting .541 with 25 RBI. Four Porter pitchers have split time in the circle. But the leading one has been Erin Kleffman, who fired a complete

game against the Knights to get the win and improve to 8-1 on the season. The junior right-hander scattered 11 hits, walked three and struck out three.

“I’ve never been a strikeout pitcher, and I rely on my defense, so this season I’ve worked on trusting my defense,” Kleffman said. after the Central victory. “I think this will be a confidence-booster and show that we can play a clean game, and also hit the ball like we know that we can. I like how much we pick each other up.”

Lockport, which is seeded third behind Central and East in the Joliet West Sectional opens the postseason on Tuesday, May 22 at 4:30 p.m. by hosting the winner of No. 19 seed Thornton at No. 14 seeded Crete-Monee from the day before.

If the Porters win that one, they will advance to the regional title game, which will be held on Saturday, May 26 at 11 a.m.

There they would face the winner of No. 6 Lincoln-Way West against No. 11 Bolingbrook, which is scheduled for Wednesday, May 23 at 4:30 p.m. at the Lockport softball field.

The wild slugfest included 29 runs and 32 hits between the two ball clubs. At one point, the Saints (27-27) found themselves down 16-1. However, USF did not go quietly, putting a ninespot up in the top of the fifth to pull within six. The Cougars (25-28) were able to hold on to take the victory.

St. Francis put the first run on the board in the opening frame. With the bases loaded and two away, a pitch hit Anthony Faron (New Lenox, Ill./St. Rita) to force in Shawn Harper (Plainfield, Ill./Providence Catholic).

WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 2018 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM USF FROM PAGE 9 Saint Xavier knotted the score in the bottom of the first and then scored 15 more runs over the next three frames to go ahead 16-1.

The Saints showed resiliency, immediately answering with a nine-run top of the fifth. Kevin Mampe (New Lenox, Ill./Lincoln-Way Central)hit a two-run homer to get the rally started.

Nick Dabrowski (Plainfield, Ill./Oswego East), Travis Schoonover (Braidwood, Ill./ Reed-Custer), Harper and Pat Michalak (New Lenox, Ill./Lincoln-Way Central) all recorded RBIs later in the frame. When the third out was recorded, USF had hit for the cycle and sent 16 batters to the plate in the inning against three Saint Xavier pitchers.

The Cougars quickly added a trio of runs and kept the Saints in check to advance with a 19-

10 win.

Michalak went 3 for 3 with a double, a triple, three walks, two runs scored and a pair driven in. Dabrowski and Michael Quiram (Shorewood, Ill./Joliet Catholic) added three hits each while Mampe had a couple of RBIs. Eight different Saints scored at least one of USF’s 10 runs.

Mitch Zack (Romeoville, Ill./ Romeoville) tossed 2.1 scoreless innings in relief for USF. Quiram, St. Francis’ starting pitcher, took the loss.

Cameron Powell was one of six Cougars to drive in multiple runs. He paced the squad with five. SXU’s Anthony Chimera was the beneficiary of the Cougars’ potent offensive attack, improving to 3-2 on the season.

The Saints round out their season with a 27-27 record. USF won 11 of its final 12 conference contests this season to post a 20-10 mark in the CCAC.

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

First, lay a solid financial foundation

You’ve laid a solid, financial foundation for your life once you’re debt free DEAR DAVE, When is it okay to have a little fun, and buy things you want, when you’re following the Baby Steps plan?

KAITLIN DEAR KAITLIN, The time for a little fun is after you’ve completed the first three Baby Steps. Baby Step 1 is saving $1,000 for a beginner emergency fund. Baby Step 2 is paying off all debt, except for your home. And Baby Step 3 means you go back and add to your emergency fund until you have three to six months of expenses set aside.

Once you’re debt-free except for your home — and you have your emergency fund completed — you’ve laid a solid, financial foundation for your life.

That’s when you can have a little fun and spend some money on a vacation, new furniture, or something like that.

Children think about their immediate wants and do what feels good. Adults, on the other hand, devise smart, logical plans, and stick to them. I want you to have a great life, but you have to put in some hard work and say “no” to yourself sometimes in order to attain that great life!

—DAVE DEAR DAVE, I’ll be receiving my income tax refund soon. It will be enough to completely pay off my two smallest debts, or get my starter emergency fund of $1,000 for Baby Step 1 in place.

What should I do?

BRANDY DEAR BRANDY, I love that you’re excited about using your refund to start the Baby Steps, and begin gaining control of your finances. But we call the beginner’s emergency fund Baby Step 1 for a reason.

Bad things can happen while you’re working to get out of debt.

That’s why I want people to get a little money set aside before they start Baby Step 2, which is the debt snowball. What if the alternator on your car goes out, or your refrigerator dies? Life happens, and things go wrong.

When this kind of stuff pops up, and you don’t have any money set aside, you’re likely to quit the plan and wind up going even deeper into debt.

I know you want to get out of debt. I want you to get out of debt, too. But I want you to stick with the plan, and actually get out of debt, instead of falling off the wagon the first time you hit a bump in the road!
