Police conducting safety checkpoints From Sept. 10 through Sept. 30, special enforcement efforts will be implemented Joliet Police Chief Al Roechner announced today that the Joliet Police Department, in partnership with the Illinois Department of Transportation, will participate in a statewide effort to increase seatbelt usage and reduce the number of impaired drivers the month of September. From Sept. 10 through Sept. 30, special enforcement efforts will include alcohol/seat belt saturation patrols, seatbelt enforcement zones, and roadside
safety checkpoints throughout the city. Officers assigned to these details will be checking for alcohol violations, occupant and child restraint violations, cell phone usage violations, and other violations of the Illinois Vehicle Code. According to Chief Al Roechner; “Our primary goal will be to increase enforcement throughout the City of Joliet; this overall enforcement will save lives.” Drivers and passengers are encouraged to always wear a seatbelt, never use an electronic communication device while driving, and not drink and drive. These campaigns are possible through traffic safety enforcement grants from the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Oktoberfest to be held in Shorewood Bavarian-style fest comes to Cene s Four Seasons Park Sept. 28
BY BRIAN STANLEY Bugle Staff
@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com
Prost! If you’re a Shorewood resident who want to celebrate your German heritage, or you simply like music and beer — Oktoberfest will be Sept. 28. The village’s Bavarian-style festival started in 1976, but wasn’t held for many years until it was brought back in 2013. Germans are the largest ancestral group in the United States. Oktoberfest is being held at Cene’s Four Seasons Park, 25520 W. Seil Road. Families are welcome from 4 to 8 p.m. and can enjoy German music from Ed Wagner’s Brass Band. The only authentic German brass band in the Chicago area, Wagner’s
band has a repertoire of more than 700 traditional German, Austrian and Czech polkas and waltzes. The musicians include two trumpet players, two baritones, two clarinets, a tuba and a drummer. Adults 21 and over can remain at Oktoberfest until 11:30 p.m. and the band Lounge Puppets will perform starting at 9 p.m. Covering hits from The Scorpions are most likely as German as the 80’s rock cover
band will get. The Lounge Puppets have an extensive set list of classic rock and arena anthems from “hairbands” like AC/DC, Journey, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, Twisted Sister and Ozzy Osbourne. Wurst sandwiches, plated dinners, snacks, soda and water will be available and it wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without imported German beer, craft beer, domestic beer and cider and malts. The event is cash only. There will be a Masskrugstemmen stein-holding contest. Contestants must hold a full 1-liter beer stein out in front of themselves with a straight arm parallel to the ground. The last man or woman standing with good form is the winner. Anyone who wants to practice beforehand should know a full stein weighs about five pounds and if you can last for more than three minutes (two for women) you might want to look into competing regularly. Though the American record is more than 21 minutes.

Shooting along Mexican Independence Day parade route injures one Police looking for shooter that struck 16-year-old in the leg BY BRIAN STANLEY Bugle Staff
@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com The Mexican Independence Day parade held Sept. 14 in Joliet was marred by violence near the parade route. A 16-year-old boy was shot in the leg during an apparent confrontation just before 2 p.m. near Collins Street and Elwood Avenue, Joliet police said. The 57th annual Mexican Independence Day Parade had begun its route down Collins Street about an hour before the shooting. Surveillance video released by Joliet police shows three young men scrambling away from the east side of Collins Street — one of whom appears to
fire at the teen who is running into the door of a nearby store. The shooter then runs through an alley. No other pedestrians were on the street, but several southbound cars were stopped in traffic nearby, according to the video. The suspect was a white or Hispanic man with a thin build. He was wearing a black t-shirt with white lettering and blue jeans. The victim was struck in the calf and his injury was not life-threatening, police said. On Sept. 15, a woman wrote posts on the Joliet Police Facebook page identifying the victim as her son and saying he was targeted by a “gangbanger” while he was leaving the parade. The woman said her house has been shot at several times over the last year. Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at (815) 724-3020 or anonymously call CrimeStoppers at (800) 323-6734.

Minooka volleyball starts season hot after being overlooked in preseason rankings BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director
@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com With a half-dozen players back from last season’s team, it is surprising the Minooka girls volleyball team was overlooked when the preseason rankings came out. That is because despite a 25-win season, a 25-16, 25-23 loss to Benet Academy in the Oswego East Regional final had those same sceptics calling the 2018 season unsuccessful. “Last year we were 25-12 and have six players returning and people said we didn’t have a good season, but we did, we just had to play Benet,” said Minooka coach Carrie Prosek. This season, those same Indians are out to quiet the detractors and have done just that opening the year winning eight of their first nine games. “I am really proud of these girls,” Prosek said. “They work hard and our defense and serve receive is the best we have had here in years. That was our focus last year and this year it shows. “We might not have the biggest hitters around, but we have a lot of hitters that can hit from different places and we have options and that helps us because there is creativity on the court.” If creativity is what Minooka is using, the top artist in the bunch is senior Zoey Seput. The 5-foot, 8-inch setter is a three-year starter and is painting a nearly perfect picture thus far.
“Her sophomore year she set all tall girls and this year we go from 5-7 to 6-3,” Prosek said. “She has proved she can set anyone no matter their size or how high they jump. As a setter you have to be able to adjust and she does a good job of that.” Seput, like her teammates, is looking to prove doubters wrong. “We were underestimated, but if we live up to the expectations that we put on ourselves, we can be unstoppable sometime,” she said. “I kind of like it because we can prove people wrong and I think we do that every game.” All Seput is focused on this year is winning with Minooka as she has already decided on her college – committing to play at University of California-Riverside. “It is nice knowing where I am going and having a plan and now I can just focus on my team and getting better every game,” she said. Like Seput, junior Heidi Bonde also committed to her college, choosing Central Florida University and senior Desiree Anderson committed to University of St. Francis in Joliet. With a focus on winning, the Indians are looking to make another deep run in the IHSA state playoffs. If they would face Benet Academy again this season, it would not be until the supersectional in a match that would determine who advances to the final four. “They have one goal in mind and that is to prove everyone wrong,” Prosek said.
Zoey Seput and Minooka are off to a hot start this season.
