Chicago suburbs start cleanup after storms

Strong storms flood streets, uproot trees and knock out power

By Laura Katauskas & Alex V. Hernandez The band was playing, the night was cool, and the community packed Romeoville’s Deer Crossing Park July 3 for its Independence Day celebration. Thousands gathered for what has grown from just a fireworks display to a blown-out party complete with food, activities for the kids, live band and ample space to be awed by sparks in the sky.

Two powerful storm cells made the wind screech and thunder sound like artillery the final night of June.

The violent weather, called “derecho” thunderstorms by meteorologists, hammered Chicago and its suburbs and left a wake of destruction in their path.

The first set of severe rainstorms had already hit the western suburbs by 7 p.m. and led to hours of dangerous weather across the Chicago >> see storms | page 18

It’s all about giving back to the community and for the Hampton Park Social Athletic Club it’s about giving back to the kids.

Commonly known as the SAC club, the 175-member group continues to grow, dating back as one of the community’s longest serving organizations in Romeoville, some 52 years. The club has recently expanded into Bolingbrook as well, inclusive of all those that need a little help up.

The club was born from a group of men who were part of a softball team who decided they would like to help kids in the neighborhood be able to do the same, play sports. With a simple goal for all kids to be able to

“It’s just all about helping out the community and giving back to the kids,” said SAC member Leroy Rheubottom. “We have a very diverse community that comes

together to help their own. Why not help out a good cause?”

You’ll see them serving up food and fun at local events like Romeofest and Bolingbrook’s Jubilee and they host a number of raffles throughout the year with all proceeds going to local organizations.

Aryzta continues plans for growth despite pushback Aryzta, formerly known as Great Kitchens, submitted its final development plan that calls for a construction of its second building By laura KatausKas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

While the expansion of a major industrial player was met with pushback from its neighbors, the Romeoville village board approved the project that will allow for an 80-foot-tall building, the largest in the village.

Though there is angst in the surrounding community, the substantial tax dollars the investment brings to the village deemed the project more than worthwhile, projecting a total of some $4.3 million in taxes.

Aryzta, formerly known as Great Kitchens, maker of frozen pizzas, submitted its final development plan that calls for a construction of its second building, some 188,000 square feet and 80 feet tall in the industrial park near Airport Road, 300 Innovation Drive.

At issue are several concerns for both its residential neighbors and industrial partners. Residents are basically concerned over the look of the building and what

the appearance will do to their property value.

“No doubt this is a tall building and there is a certain uniqueness to its needs because of its operations but we have to take into account that this company has grown bringing with it 800 jobs,an excess of over $100 million in investment and in terms of size of projects— this is one of the top ten projects in Will County,” said Mayor John Noak.“It is important keep things in context. Yes there is impact to residents, but it’s also important to note that rough estimates top out

at a potential impact of $800,000 in taxes to the school district… investments like these are key.

There is a potential here that could be upward of $4.3 million in taxes collected based on EAV.” The company is expanding on the 21.8-acre site due to severe overcrowding, its employee base having grown to 800. The new

building also will include an elevated conveyor that would deliver pizza from one building to the other.

The 80-foot-tall building is nearly double the size in height of neighboring buildings such as Chicago Tube and Iron who came out to protest the move.

ChicagoTube and Iron President

Don McNeely said while Aryzta has been a good neighbor, they do not want to see a building of that size and recognize the concern of the residents in the area.

Developer Wendy Shapiro said the company has invested more than $100 million in the village and stands to continue to invest in the company and the village.

The proposed building is to be made of both metal and pre-cast concrete which was a point of contention for those against the development, calling the plan in the works “an ugly building.”

Shapiro explained that due to the refrigeration needs of the building, a portion of the building, needs to be metal panels. Those panels would be facing Airport Road, and the building made of pre-cast concrete would be facing the opposite side.

Village Manager Steve Gulden said the company has agreed to major façade improvements including architectural columns and cornices that will enhance the look of the building.

Shapiro said landscaping plans have been included and meet village code requirements.

COURTESY OFFICE OF PAT QUINN

Now that Gov. Pat Quinn signed the bill voters will be able to register to vote on the same day they cast their ballots this fall.

state news

Quinn signs same-day voter registration into law New law will allow electionday voter registration at limited sites, extends some in-person early voting hours

Governor Pat Quinn signed landmark legislation July 1 to expand voting opportunities in Illinois. The new law is designed to encourage participation in elections and streamlines the registration and early voting processes.

“Democracy works best when everyone participates,” Quinn said. “By removing unnecessary roadblocks to the ballot box, more residents will be able to exercise their constitutional right and have their voices heard. This new law will help more people across Illinois have a say in how their community, state and nation are run.”

“Illinois has made great strides for voting rights in the last few years with the passage of online voter registration and 17 year olds voting in primaries,”Cook County Clerk David Orr said.“Now thanks to this additional expansion of voting opportunities, voters will have more ways to register and cast their ballot before and on Election Day.”

House Bill 105, sponsored by State Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago, and State Sen. Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, streamlines the registration and early voting process and addresses a number of issues that have made casting a ballot difficult in the past.

The new law will allow election-day voter registration at limited sites. It also extends in-person early voting hours and removes identification requirements for in-person voting by registered voters. The law also allows some public universities to serve as electionday in-person absentee voting centers, increases the window for vote-by-mail applications and expands early and grace period voting throughout the state.

The changes are in effect for the upcoming November general election.

The new law corrects several past voter participation problems in Illinois. Many people’s work hours or other commitments do not permit them to take advantage of existing early or regular voting opportunities. Nearly 13 percent of Americans move in an average year, and unless these people remember to update their voter registrations, they may not be

able to vote.

“As we approach Independence Day, this legislation reminds us of one of our most precious freedoms – the right to vote,” Currie said. “This sweeping new law encourages participation in the democratic process like never before. I was proud to sponsor the measure in the House, and applaud Governor Quinn for signing it into law.”

“Voting is a right and a vital part of our country’s social and political fabric,” Harmon said.“To encourage people to participate, we should be doing everything we can to make it easier to vote without weakening the integrity of the voting system.”

Quinn has long been a champion of expanding voting rights and opportunities. Last year, Quinn gave 17-year-olds the ability to vote in primary elections if they are 18 years old by the general election date. In 2011, Quinn signed the state’s first voting rights act.

The Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011 protects the voting rights of racial and language minority communities throughout Illinois and encourages public participation in the redistricting process.

Romeoville man arrested on child porn distribution charges Miguel Luna, 63, of 506 N. Frieh Drive, was arrested July 2

A Romeoville man has been charged with the distribution of child pornography following an investigation by Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow High Technology Crimes Unit.

Miguel Luna, 63, of 506 N. Frieh Drive, was arrested July 2 with assistance from the Romeoville Police Department.

He was charged with one count of dissemination of child pornography and two counts of possession of child pornography.

Bond was set at $500,000.

He must post 10 percent, or $50,000, to secure his release while awaiting trial. As a condition of his bond, he cannot have unsupervised contact with anyone under 18, and he must surrender his passport. He is scheduled to appear in court next for preliminary hearing or arraignment at 9 a.m. July 24 in Courtroom 405 at the Will County Courthouse, 14 W. Jefferson Street in Joliet.

Luna was a part-time police officer with the Blue Island Police Department. The defendant also is a camp leader with Pathfinders, which is part of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The organization is

involved with the cultural, social and religious education of children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 15.

Detectives with the High Technology Crimes Unit executed a search warrant and seized Luna’s computer as part of the investigation, which is ongoing. If anyone has information pertaining to Miguel Luna, please contact the High Technology Crimes Unit at (815) 727-8453.

Dissemination of child pornography is a Class X felony that carries a penalty of between six and 30 years in prison upon conviction. Probation is not a sentencing option. Possession of child pornography is a Class 2 felony punishable by three to seven years in prison upon conviction.

“The High Technology Crimes Unit has launched investigations that have resulted in the arrest and charging of more than 40 individuals suspected of trading child pornography or soliciting children over the Internet,” said Glasgow. “Our goal is to stop the production and dissemination of child pornography and halt the exploitation of our children.”

State’s Attorney Glasgow established the unit in February 2012 to track and arrest individuals who trade child pornography over the Internet.

Crossroads pre-party for families with special needs Lamansky said families with children with special needs appreciate more relaxed, quiet setting

Last year’s pre-party for families with special needs was so popular that the event will be held again at this year’s annual Shorewood Crossroads Festival.

The festival will open two hours early at 1 p.m. Aug. 1 for an exclusive pre-party designed specifically for families that include children with special needs.

Kim Lamansky, Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce President, said rides, food, a Kids Zone and other events designed for the families with special needs will make the day a family favorite for years to come.

Lamansky said families with

children with special needs appreciate the more relaxed, quiet setting the pre-party gives them. “Eternal stimulation is cut down considerably, and the limited amount of attendees helps families enjoy the park,” she explained.

Families who want to attend the two hour pre-party are asked to RSVP by July 29 by calling the chamber office at 815-725-2900 or by going to www.CrossroadsFest. com.

Rockford murder suspect taken into police custody after national manhunt Police arrested Terence Doddy, who was wanted for 2 murders

By Alex Hernandez staff reporter

ahernandez@buglenewspapers.com @TheAVHernandez

P o l i c e arrested a Rockford man wanted for two murders after a five day manhunt and high-speed Terence Doddy, chase.

36, of Rockford Earlier, U.S. COURTESY ISP Marshals joined Illinois State police and Rockford police in a nationwide search for Terence Doddy, 36, of Rockford. He’s wanted for the murders of Tonya Bargman, 44, of Monticello, and Todd Hansmeier, 37, of Rockford.

Authorities say Doddy was apprehended around 11:23 a.m. on July 4, as he appeared to be headed towards Beloit, Wisconsin.

Reports of Doddy’s whereabouts began to come in the day before, when he was spotted by an off duty Winnebago County police officer near Machesney Park.

The following day Doddy was again spotted in the Village of Rockton, after a state trooper saw Doddy in the Gray Nissan he was believed to be driving.

Soon after, state police launched single engine aircraft into the area of the sightings to assist multiple local, county and state law enforcement officers on the ground to zero in on the murder suspect.

While fleeing police, Doddy lost control of the Nissan and crashed into a tree on Highway 81, west of Beloit, which allowed officers to take him into custody.

He was taken to a Rock County hospital for his injuries and no other injuries were reported, said police “Our thoughts are with the grieving families who have lost their loved ones and our hope is that this arrest will bring some closure to their pain,” said Illinois State police Director

COURTESY ISP

Police provided an updated photo of Doddy obtained from store surveillance where he was believed to be in the process of exiting a store location with several items. At press time the store was not being named but is located in the Rockford area.

COURTESY ISP

Police believe that Doddy was in possession of a blue dome styled camping tent while on the run from police.

Hiram Grau.

On July 1 a rest stop attendant called police when he found an unresponsive Bargman around 8:30 p.m. at the Willow Creek Rest Area off I-39 in Paw Paw, Illinois.

Once on the scene, investigators reviewed surveillance video of the rest area that reportedly shows Bargman exiting a bathroom and being attacked by Doddy.

After the attack Doddy reportedly stole Bargman’s car, a Gray 2013 Nissan Altima bearing Illinois license plates “BARGMN 2,” to flee the area.

Doddy is also wanted by Rockford police as a suspect in the first-degree murder of a coworker.

On June 30 Rockford Firefighters found Hansmeier’s charred body after responding to a fire at Quancor Virtual

Sales & Marketing Inc. in the 300 block of North Alpine Road around 5:30 a.m.

An autopsy showed Hansmeier’s cause of death was traumatic head and neck injuries, said a release from the Winnebago County Coroner.

Rockford Police said Hansmeier and Doddy knew each other, describing their relationship as “associates,” and said they both worked at Quancor.

Before his arrest, police believed that Doddy was in possession of a blue dome styled camping tent and video surveillance footage from a Rockford area store released by police showed him purchasing several items.

Slammers to play softball in Battle of Sexes

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

All-Star Grant DeBruin and the Slammers will face the Dutch National softball team Monday, July 14.

Guys don’t like striking out at the plate. It can be even worse when they are struck out by a girl.

No matter the talent level of the female pitcher, the fear will be there and members of the Joliet Slammers baseball team will have the chance to face those fears at 7:05 p.m. Monday, July 14 when they take on the Dutch National Fast Pitch Softball team in a Battle of the Sexes game at Silver Cross Field.

While the Slammers’ hitters are looking forward to the challenge, they know hitting a softball pitcher will not be easy as the ball comes from a completely different plane than they are used to.

“I have never hit against a softball pitcher before, but I’m looking forward to it,” said Adam Giacalone, the Slammers’ first baseman, currently batting .285 with four homers and 16 RBI.“I am probably going to just come out here and look dumb. I am just going to close my eyes and swing. It is going to be real interesting.The fans are going to probably get a good laugh.”

Giacalone is looking forward to the closer base paths in a softball

game.

“It might make me look fast,” joked the former 16th round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers.

One of the Slammers’ top hitter this season, Grant DeBruin, said he faced a fast pitch softball pitcher once more than five years ago.

“One time in high school I hit off our ace who went to Kent State and I didn’t touch it,” said DeBruin, who is hitting .357 this season.

“If they start throwing that rise ball, it will be game over for us. In baseball, there is no rise.”

The Joliet third baseman knows the guys are set up for failure, but knows the game will be fun for players and fans.

“They are going to think, these are professional baseball players against professional softball player, the guy should do it. It is not easy to hit a softball,” DeBruin said.“We are out there to give the people a good time, which I’m sure will happen. It is an experience that I am sure will be great. I am looking forward to it.”

One member of the Slammers who has more recent experience hitting softball pitching is outfielder Marquis Riley.

Riley was a starter in the Frontier All-Star game last season and he faced the Akron Racers Fast Pitch

Softball team as part of an All-Star week exhibition.

“It is hard,” Riley said. “I faced a girl in high school and she struck me out. At the All- game last year, it was just ambush the first pitch because you want to get a fastball and not let them throw the junk.

They can throw a ball that moves all four directions and that is something we are not used to.You just have to jump on the first pitch that looks straight and hope you hit it, because after that, good luck.”

This will be the first time the Slammers will host this event and tickets are currently on sale for the game.

General admission tickets will be $7, reserved tickets will be $12, and club tickets will be $15.

“This is a once in a lifetime event for the Slammers and residents of Will County and beyond. We expect a packed house on July 14,” said Slammers General Manager Chris Franklin.

The Slammers will also be hosting two softball camps that day.

There will be a general camp for youth players ages U6 to U12 from 1-2:30 p.m. and an elite camp for U12 to U16 players from 3:30-5 >> see BATTLE | page 15

Talent, training a winning formula for AOY Slowek Osborne leads Romeoville area athletes By mike sandrolini For the bugle

mike@buglenewspapers.com @voyagersport

Nothing last summer could keep Elanta Slowek from completing her training regimen in preparation for her senior year at Maine East. Not even if the gates at the school’s football field, where the track is located, happened to be locked.

“I’d just go over the fence and do what I had to do,” she said.

Voyager Media’s Female Multisport Athlete of the Year estimates that she spent around six hours per day, six days a week during the summer either training or going to camps to help hone

her skills. “(All) that gave me an advantage,” she said, “Because that’s one minute someone else isn’t doing anything.”

It goes without saying that all the hard work paid off. Slowek was the second-leading scorer and defensive stalwart on a Maine East girls basketball team that won 20 games and captured the CSL North championship for the first time in school history last winter. She also was a member of the North squad in the Voyager Media Prep Shootout.

This past spring, Slowek made her third straight appearance at the Class 3A state meet in the high jump, while also qualifying for

state for the second consecutive season in the discus.

Slowek’s third time to state was a charm as she won a state medal in the discus, finishing sixth with a toss of 129 feet, 11 inches.

“I’m glad I had such a great support system,” said Slowek, who plans to compete in both basketball and track at Carthage College. “I did what I was supposed to do and went above my expectations.

I’m grateful I had teammates and coaches that said, ‘It’s now or never.’ ” One of those coaches is basketball coach Karol Hanusiak.

Hanusiak said Slowek had to learn that she wasn’t always going to be perfect, nor was she always going to be the best on the court or on the track “but it’s OK to have a goal to do that.”

“Once she was able to grasp that, that’s when things started to really change for her,” Hanusiak said.

Multisport Athletes of the Year in other zones include:

CHAVON BANKS She was second on the Joliet Central volleyball team with 140 kills and one of only three Steelmen to surpass the 100-kill plateau for the season.

On the basketball court, she averaged 10.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game for Joliet Central. Banks was named to the Voyager Media All-Area third team and was an invite to the 2014 Voyager Media Prep Shootout allstar basketball game.

She had a goal and two assists on the year, and also was in goal for four games, making 40 saves and allowing five goals.

Birdsell also was the leader of Lisle’s girls basketball team which reached the Class 2A regional final.

Being only a sophomore didn’t stop Osborne from being a two-sport varsity starter for the Spartans.

In softball, she batted .446 with 14 doubles and 23 runs scored.

She was 7-11 with 89 strikeouts in the circle.

“She is an all-around great athlete,” said Romeoville softball coach Christina Douglas.

A point guard on the basketball team, she tallied 60 assists (led

Spinuzza is the Voyager Male Multisport Athlete of the Year Hunter heads Romeoville males

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

Childhood was not particularly kind to Downers Grove South senior Danny Spinuzza – but from the outside looking in, you wouldn’t know.

Spinuzza’s mom died when he was only 10 years old, leaving his dad, Jim, to raise him as a single parent.

Like most fathers and sons, the Spinuzza’s bonded over sports and as Danny excelled through his career, he said he did it all as an appreciation and testament to his dad.After being a member of both the Voyager Media basketball and baseball teams and being invited to the Prep Shootout senior basketball team, Danny is the 2014 Voyager Media Multisport Athlete of the Year.

“It is humbling. Dealing with all the hardships in my childhood, there was always one person I knew I that would be there for me and that was my father,” Danny said.“All of the awards and accomplishments I have achieved weren’t for the satisfaction of myself, but as a thank you to my dad for all that he has done. He was always there for me and kept me motivated and kept me on the right path and all this is for him.”

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Chuck Hunter is the 2014 Romeoville Male Mulitsport Athlete of the Year.

On the basketball court, Spinuzza tallied 14.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, while posting 68 assists, 40 steals and 39 three-pointers.

“Danny Spinuzza was a threeyear varsity starter,”Downers South basketball coach Kristopher Olson said. “Danny started every game and we only took him out when he was in foul trouble. Danny was our floor general and he set our offense up. Danny also made the big shot when necessary. He was our best ball handler and we had no back up for him.”

On the diamond, he was a lefthanded pitcher and outfielder for

the Mustangs’ team that reached the Class 4A supersectional, winning the sectional title for only the second time in school history.

He batted .425 with 34 hits and 20 RBI. He went 7-2 on the mound with a 1.28 ERA. He said he never really considered choosing between the two sports he loves.

“I don’t really try and take in other people’s opinion,” Danny said.“My father and I talked about it and he told me to do what I love to do and what I loved to do is play both. Going from one season, >> see MALE | page 15

Golf Review

mark + scott’s

review

Tanna Farms

Strategic plan Tanna Farms has unique setup For the past couple years, I’ve been seeing pictures of Tanna Farms Golf Club in Geneva and have been taylor’s take looking forward by scott taylor to playing there.

I got that opportunity to review the course a couple of weeks ago and it lived up to my expectations.

For $49 with a cart during the week, it is one of the best value courses around the Chicagoland area.

While it has some of the similar problems of a cheaper course (players not replacing ball marks and divots), the course is still beautiful with plenty of strategy.

It is rare for a course to start with a par-3, but that is exactly the case with Tanna Farms. The first hole is a short par-3 (120 from blue) that plays over the water. Considering there is no driving range, this is a tough short iron start to open your round, but it is a great golf hole to start.

That is followed up with a reachable par-5 (482) and then there is another par-3 over water, this one playing at 167 yards.The first major strategic hole is the fourth hole, the first par-4 on the course. From the blue it plays

345, but with a dogleg, it is more like 315. However, there is water in front of the green and homes to the left, making it a major risk/ reward.

A unique par-5 follows with a narrow landing to place second shots in between water on each side. A very tough hole. Holes seven and eight are also difficult par-4s with seven being uphill and eight being protected by water to the right. The front nine has four par-3s, which is very unique and plays to just 34 strokes. However, it is far from easy, even at just 2,650 yards as the slope is still 126. It is definitely an iron player’s nine.

The 10th hole and 11th hole both play with water on the left, leading up to my favorite hole, a short par-4 12th hole. It plays just 325 from the blue and 277 from the white, yet is the No. 3 most difficult hole on the course.

This is because the fairway is an island and the green is nearly an island. Two short and accurate irons can lead to a birdie, but going for the green is especially tempting.

That is what Mark Gregory and I both did. Neither of us hit good shots, but we managed to avoid all of the water by hitting it around the 11th green. Mark was in a greenside bunker and I was just off the fringe. We still had

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Tanna Farms opens with a rare par-3, which plays over water.

to play over water and a bunker though to get to the green.

After the short hole, the longest and most difficult hole on the course is next. The par5 13th hole is fairly tight and is 578 yards from the blue. The 14th hole is a dogleg that has some options and some hazards.

Mark and I both somehow got pars on it.

The 15th is a par-5 with three separate hazards, the 16th is a par-3 over a hazard and the 17th is another long par-5.The 18th is another short par-4 where the fairway is separated by rough near the green and is a good hole

to have a nice finishing score on.

The back nine has three par5s and plays 3,081 yards with 37 strokes. Even with three more strokes, it still plays much longer, thanks to the long par-5s.

I have played a lot of courses in my life, but not many offer the different options that this one does. Each hole is unique and it is a true “thinkers” golf course where strategy comes in to play quite often.

I was told by one of the workers that the course used to be just nine holes and has moved to 18 holes in the past decade.

That would lead to the lone downfall of this course, which was that there was no halfway house with the layout. You go away from the clubhouse and are pretty much on your own until the end. The beverage cart also didn’t take cards, so if you aren’t prepared (which I wasn’t) there is no eating or drinking for your entire round.

Despite that fact though, it was a great course to play and it is plenty of fun to hit the different kinds of shots throughout the course. It is definitely one I recommend playing, especially for the money.

Sports >> MALE, from page 13 right to the other was difficult, but I stayed focused and put all my effort into whatever sport was in season at that time.”

While he enjoyed it in high school and considered playing both in college, Danny has decided to hang up the sneakers and focus on baseball at the next level. He is currently looking over schools, saying he will probably play next season at a junior college because of his late decision.

He had 10 tackles for loss, one sack, five pass break-ups and two interceptions.

He was one of the leaders of the Raider defense that allowed less than 10 points per game and was named to the Voyager Media AllArea football team.

On the baseball field this season, he took his comfortable spot behind the plate as the Raiders’ catcher. He hit .341 with four doubles and 15 RBI.

DRAKE FELLOWS Sophomore was an important part of the Joliet Catholic Academy basketball team that won a Class 3A regional title this season. The 6-5, 185-pounder helped solidify the Hilltoppers’ frontcourt.

Fellows, who has already Wednesday July 16 at 7pm.

Also making the All-Star team from the Slammers are DeBruin and starting pitcher Blair Walters.

Moldenhauer, the former Washington Nationals prospect, was a 1st-team postseason Frontier League All-Star for Lake Erie in 2013. He was named the Frontier League Player-of-the-Week for his performance in the first week of June this season when he hit .542 with five RBI. The University of Texas product is currently hitting .286 with 8 doubles, 5 homers and a team-best 26 RBI. DeBruin is currently ranked 4th in the Frontier League in batting average at .357 and has hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games.He leads the Slammers with 60 hits, 12 doubles,

committed to play for 2014 College World Series champion Vanderbilt, went 6-1 on the mound with a .63 ERA and 77 strikeouts for Joliet Catholic. He was a member of the Voyager Media All-Area team.

JOHN HADER Hader, who’ll be running track at Eastern Illinois next spring, became the first athlete in Maine South history to earn state medals in both the 100- and 200-meter dashes. The senior also was an allCSL cornerback, and head coach David Inserra didn’t hesitate to use him offensively to stretch opposing defenses.

CHUCK HUNTER Hunter moved back to Romeoville this season and a .500 slugging percentage, an OPS (on-base-plus-slugging-percentage) of .903 and has a team-high 16 extra base hits. DeBruin is 10 for his last 21, a .476 batting average in his last five games. He holds the school record for career batting average at UAB-Huntsville at .378.

Walters has been the team’s most consistent starting pitcher and is currently 11th in the Frontier League in ERA at 2.66. He leads the league in innings pitched with 67 2/3 and has one complete game. Batters are only hitting .218 against him in 2014.

His best performance came against River City on June 8th when he went 8 shutout innings while allowing just two hits. He struck out 9 and walked only two.

immediately made an impact on the Spartan athletic scene.

His biggest impact was as a twoway player on the football field.The junior made defenses weary with his speed. He caught 45 passes for 923 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also had three interceptions on defense and was a member of the Voyager Media All-Area team.

“Chuck Hunter is one of the best receiver/cornerbacks I have had the opportunity to coach,” Romeoville football coach Jeff Kuna said. “He has great ball skills and ability to adjust to the ball. As a cornerback he provides great coverage as well as being a very good open field tackler. He definitely provides big play potential every time he touches the ball.”

Hunter was a starter on the

basketball team under new coach Marc Howard and averaged six points, two rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

Walters, an 11th round pick of the White Sox in the 2011 draft, also threw 7 shutout innings against

Schaumburg on July 1st. He allowed only five hits and struck out four to earn the win.

DANIEL JACKSON Jackson, a junior, led Plainfield East to its first playoff berth in school history.A defensive lineman, Jackson spent every game in the opponent’s backfield, before an injury ended his season early.

In seven games he had six sacks and 15 tackles for loss, with 38 total tackles.

Jackson was also a state qualifier in track and field. He qualified in the shot put after a put of 52-feet, 11-inches at sectionals.Jackson had a top put of 47-8 at state. He also took second in the SPC in both the discus and shot put.

At the height of the storm, over 350,000 ComEd customers across the state were without power.

The National Weather Service would later confirm that a brief EF-1 tornado landed that night near Romeoville and Plainfield in Will County. Featuring winds of up to 95 mph, it touched down in Plainfield and crossed over Interstate 55 to Romeoville over a course of about three minutes.

No one was injured but trees and homes were damaged due to the tornado’s strong winds.

“We did not receive any reports of power outages. However, we did experience extensive reports of roads flooded throughout the middle of town between Oakton and Dempster,” said Niles Police Sgt. Robert Tornabene.

This flooding included Dempster Street at the viaduct and Dempster Street at Olcott Avenue.

Moreover he also said Main

An EF-1 tornado, with wind speeds as high as 95 mph and a path length of about three miles, began in Plainfield and ended in Romeoville. Though the tornado is one of the weakest types on the scale, it (and the storms that accompanied it) was not without effect, including uprooting trees, knocking down power lines throughout neighborhoods.

Street and Milwaukee Avenue as well as Harlem Avenue, south of Dempster Street, were all blocked by standing water until at least 7:41 a.m. on July 1.

“The police desk received calls of basements flooding and sewers backing up and those were passed on to public works,” said Tornabene.

At press time the Niles officials reported a total of 28 eight calls; 22 of which were for street flooding while the other six were for basement flooding.

“The northern part of Niles was hit with 2.75 inches of rain and

the southern part was hit with 2.56 inches of rain,” said Niles Communications Coordinator Hayley Garard. “There is very minimal tree damage and most is confined to a small area west of Harlem and north of Main.”

Nearby Morton Grove also experienced flooding around Dempster Street and Waukegan Road and downed tree limbs around Menard Avenue and Dempster Street.

“I think our streets opened up again around 2 a.m.,” said Morton Grove Police Cmdr. Paul Yaras.

I don’t think you should take on a job or a schedule you hate just to pay off your house a couple of years earlier.

Dear Alaina, That’s fine if it’s free. However, I wouldn’t rely on it as an integral part of my overall financial plan.

In most cases, accidental death and dismemberment policies are just a gimmick.You’re not double dead if you die by accident, and your spouse or family doesn’t need the money if you die by accident rather than a heart attack. They need the same coverage and the same protection regardless. When it comes to life insurance, I recommend a good level term policy that’s 10 to 12 times your annual income. That means if you make $50,000 a year, you need $500,000 to $600,000 in coverage.

Still, if it’s really free I’ve got

no problem with the policy. Just make sure you’re not paying some other big fee to join a club so you can get “free” stuff. When that happens, it’s not really free after all!

station became flooded with water during the storm’s heavy rains.

“The courtyard leading up to of our main entrance as well as the patrol door flooded with between four to six feet of water,” said Park Ridge Police Cmdr. Jason Leavitt.“[It] caused water to come in through both doors, causing relatively minor flooding inside.”

The flooding caused areas of the police station to have about an inch of water on the floor.

“Anything on the floor was damaged but for the most part the floors were mopped and vacuumed dry,” said Leavitt.

As for the rest of Park Ridge, while there were no reported power outages or trees knocked down there was flooding at the Park Ridge Country Club and Touhy Avenue viaduct during the second wave of storms until about 1 a.m.

The morning after the storms officials closed the I-190 entrance to O’Hare International Airport at Mannheim Road thanks to flooding and did not fully reopen it to traffic until about 7:45 a.m.

The evening’s storms also forced airlines to cancel over 450 flights at O’Hare and nearly all of the flights out of Midway International Airport. By the next day the two airports, while still canceling some flights, were resuming their

regular operations.

Flooding was also an issue in Downers Grove, where downed power lines and standing water were a dangerous combination for residents and crews working to clean up storm debris.

Further south, Will County’s suburbs were still experiencing power outages as of 4:30 p.m. on July 1, with about 5,600 ComEd customers in Romeoville still without power.

In Romeoville officials warned residents to avoid flooded around Arlington Drive and Dalhart Avenue areas during the storm.

To help deal with the storm and its aftermath, Romeoville also officials opened up an Emergency Operations Command Center.

Here too, downed power lines were a danger to crews working to restore power and clean up debris. Some power lines, sparking with electricity, were threatening to ignite the trees they were tangled up in.

Additionally, reports of over 50 trees, some upwards of 50 feet tall, had been uprooted by the storm system’s powerful winds in Plainfield, Romeoville and Bolingbrook.
