ROAM if you want to Romeoville Open Air Market is finding its footing in its inaugural summer

BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

In its inaugural year, the Romeoville Open Air Market has experienced its growing pains, but that is not unexpected.

Noel Maldonado, Manager of Revenue and Athletics for the Romeoville Parks and Recreation Department, knew the first year would be a learning process.

“We knew what this year would be,” he said. “People want a Farmer’ Market and we have not been able to get farmers out here and hopefully that will change. We have played with the hours some, trying to find the best time of the day to hold it.”

Going forward until the market closes for the season on September 12, ROAM, as it is called, will run from 2-7 p.m. every Wednesday – making the first season a 14-week endeavor. The markets are held in front of the Edward Hospital Athletic & Event Center, located at 55 Phelps Avenue in Romeoville.

To date the crowds have been patchy and the vendors few, but it is all part of the process.

Derrick Evans, Sr., who along with his wife Pontus – the baker of the business – said their Sweet P’s Homemade Cookies has been there from the beginning and will be there until the end.

“We think Romeoville has a lot of potential, we are actually looking to do some stuff indoors in the winter with our cookies and that will help us promote the summer as well. We will help as much as we can. It takes a while to build it and eventually, it will make it.”

The Naperville-based short-

bread cookie business actually began as a hobby for Pontus, a hair stylist.

She would make the cookies for clients and for friends and family on holidays and special occasions as well as sending them overseas to Derrick when he was on deployment with the United States Navy.

Now, the veteran-owned business has 27 flavors and is at four outdoor markets in the summer and is exploring the idea of having a stand inside the Athletic & Event Center.

“We have been doing farmer’s markets for the last four years. We started in Oswego and this is the first year we have done multiple markets. This is a new market – the other three we do are Oswego, Bolingbrook and Batavia,” Derrick Evans said. “We knew coming in that this was the first year and we committed to try and help it grow.

We are not in it to get a great response the first year, we are trying to help it grow. We have been trying to give advice to Noel, we gave him some farmers he could reach out to and if those don’t work, we will keep trying more vendors.”

Another idea to help attract patrons as well as vendors is adding entertainment for kids and adults.

“We are looking into getting some activities for the kids and some other entertainment out there next year,” Maldonado said.

“That is something that we look to add into the budget for this event next year.”

For now, locals still have eight weeks to grab some of Sweet P’s cookies and check out all the other vendors at the market.

Squad Car Night honors memory of officer Event brings police and community together for second-straight year

BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

A year ago, Bolingbrook police officers Steve Alexander and James Burke organized the inaugural squad car night at the Bolingbrook Promenade – a successful event in the community.

Just four months later, Alexander, 49, was killed along with his parents, Doug and Lily, and his brother, Doug Jr., in a car accident in Ireland.

On July 13, Burke and the Bolingbrook Police Department repeated the event – this time in memory of Alexander.

“We wanted to continue with it and now the second one is, unfortunately, in his memory,” Burke said. “He absolutely loved the first one and we wanted to continue it in his memory.

“I am a believer that everyone should be memorialized the way that they see fit. You never want someone to pass, but from as close as Romeoville and Plainfield and as far away as Elmhurst and Berkley.

“I have a couple friends who are on the Bolingbrook Police Department and they knew Steve really well and when they told me about this, I asked my department for permission to come down in memoriam to him. I didn’t really know what to expect or how big it was and it is awesome how many cars are here and how many cool things,” said Berkley Officer Jeff Parker. “It is a really cool night. As soon as I get back on Monday morning, I will ask permission to come back next year.”

Not only does the night offer kids and families a chance to meet officers and sit in squad cars, but in a day and age where there is so much for them to know that something that they loved and were so instrumental in getting started continues on.”

This year around 40 squad cars, rescue vehicles and command units lined the streets of the Promenade and at roughly 1,000 people came out to sit in the cars, try on tactical gear and talk to officers.

Departments came hostility and negativity towards the police, it allows the commu-

“The way I view it is important on both ends. This is as beneficial for the officers as it is for the community. As an officer, you are out there and you have your badge stickers or whatever you have to hand out and the kids are excited and the parents are happy and it is a nice recentering for the officers,” Burke said. “With all the people that are coming out thinking this

is cool. It is a nice grounding experience for the officers seeing that more people like us than don’t. To me, the outreach goes both directions. The idea of community policing goes both ways.

Last year, there was a dad out there with his young kid and he had shorts on and you could see he had on an ankle bracelet – so he was on parole or probation. It was kind of neat that the father had obviously done something in his past, but he wasn’t antipolice and he saw it was

an opportunity for his son to see something good.”

Aside from vehicles, the event also allowed children to get an ID card, there was a raffle to benefit the Bolingbrook police benevolent fund and a dunk-a-cop dunk tank that raised money for the Special Olympics.

There was also a tribute to Alexander and a ceremony that included a performance from the Bagpipes and Drums of the Emerald Society Chicago.

Rock Island site of Revolutionary War, War of 1812 battles

BY ROGER RUTHHART The Quad-Cities region has provided a footnote to history for virtually every war fought on American soil, including the Battle of Campbell’s Island – the western-most battle of the War of 1812.

According to the records of Indian historian John Hauberg, as the French and Indian War ended, the last of the French soldiers of the northwest spent the winter of 1760-61 near present-day Rock Island, ice bound, on their retreat from Michilimacinac to Fort Chartress, Illinois, following the British conquest of Canada.

All Indian villages in the upper Mississippi and Great Lakes were canvassed by British agents to enlist Indians for fighting in the frontier during the Revolutionary War. The Americans, even before General George Rogers Clark conquered the Illinois country in July 1778, had agents who had succeeded in keeping the Sauk and Meskwaki from joining the British ranks. With the arrival of Gen. Clark, messengers were sent to all of the tribes inviting them to come to Kahokia to join in treaties of peace.

According to the writings of Hauberg, the Sauk held to the middle ground – trading with the British but also with the Spanish at St. Louis and with the Americans in Illinois.

In 1780 the British hatched a plan to retake the entire Mississippi Valley. Representatives of all tribes were forced to serve. The first attack was at St. Louis, but according to some accounts the Sauk and Meskwaki held back. Other Indians, fearing a rear attack from them, held back too and the grand scheme of conquest failed.

American Gen. Clark wanted to punish those who had aided the British. In 1780, Lt. Col. John Montgomery and 350 men came up the Illinois River to Peoria, then to the Sauk village of Saukenuk – the modern day site of Rock Island – on the Rock River.

One report said 700 Sauk warriors withdrew without resistance and watched as the Americans burned their village. According to reports by Hauberg, the Sauk, who had been America’s friend, had been mistaken for the enemy. While history is uncertain on this point, this may have been the western-most battle of the Revolutionary War. In July 1814, during the war with Britain, an expedition led by Lt. John Campbell was heading north in five

keel boats to reinforce and resupply the U.S. fort at Prairie du Chien, Wis., and stopped at Rock Island. They spent two days eating and drinking with the warrior Black Hawk and his men and the Americans became friendly with the Indians.

In his autobiography, translated by Antione LeClaire and edited by J.B. Patterson, Black Hawk said they had no intention of hurting the Americans.

But during the night, the British arrived down the Rock River with six kegs of powder and told them that the British had taken the fort at Prairie du Chien and wished for the Sauk to join them in the war, which they agreed to do.

The next morning, July 19, 1814, Black Hawk and 500 braves were hidden along the river as the American expedition entered the head of the Mississippi River’s dangerous Rock Island Rapids. While passing what is now called Campbell’s Island, the wind came up and blew Lt. Campbell’s boat to shore.

“This boat the Great Spirit gave us,” according to Black Hawk’s account in his autobiography. “We advanced to the river’s bank and commenced firing at the boat. ... I encouraged my braves to continue firing. … I prepared my bow and arrows to throw fire to the sail, which was lying on the boat; and after two or three attempts, succeeded in setting the sail on fire.” The boat was soon in flames.

“One of the boats that had passed returned, dropped anchor and swung in close to the boat on fire and took off all the people except those killed and badly wounded,” Black Hawk related.

“They did not return fire. ... I therefore ordered a rush to the boat. When we got near, they fired and killed two

of our people, being all that we lost in the engagement. Some of their men jumped out and pushed off the boat and thus got away without losing a man. I had a good opinion of this war chief (Lt. Campbell) – he managed so much better than the others. It would give me pleasure to shake him by the hand.”

In September, U.S. Army Maj. Zachary Taylor was sent with a fleet of eight protected keel boats and 334 men to destroy Black Hawk’s village and uproot the crops.

According to accounts written by historian Hauberg, as the fleet approached the mouth of the Rock River at the Mississippi, the wind shifted and reached gale proportions. They put in at Pelican Island and were attacked by Indians and British six-pound cannon and swivel guns. The expedition fled back to St. Louis.

All of these western military activities led to the construction of Fort Armstrong in 1816. It was abandoned in 1836 after Indian warfare died down and from 1840-45 was an ordnance depot. In 1861 efforts began in earnest to build a national arsenal on the island.

It was approved by President Abraham Lincoln in July 1862.

Burndown at Sundown combines top notch motorsports with Ringling Brothers Circus

BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Route 66 Raceway in Joliet set out to bring even more entertainment than it has in previous years to the annual Burndown at Sundown – and it succeeded.

The Saturday night main event fell in the middle of a weekend packed with exciting racing for die-hard race fan.

Saturday’s event still provided a full day of drag racing, but twice during the night the motor sports circus came out.

“This is a unique event because there is something for everyone. For people who have a love for drag racing – it has that,” said Scott Paddock, President of Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway. “We are going to have close to 500 cars this weekend competing. But, several years ago, we started to

build a very spectator driven exhibition around it and that is what it is. It is our thrill show, it is our night of fire. It is the wow factor. It has turned into a real family event over the years. People like thrill shows and they like the unknown.”

It featured the USFMX, a new addition to the card this year, that saw dirt bikes flying 40-feet in the air, jumping over an 80foot long semi truck all while doing tricks and stunts in the air.

“It was a privilege to come out and be the first ones to do freestyle motocross at an event like this,” said Terry Russell, one of the daredevils. “The crowd was great, I think they had a great time. We had a nice autograph line with a lot of kids who wanted to meet us after.”

Minooka’s Foltynewicz is MLB All-Star

BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

To say the road has been easy for Mike Foltynewicz would be a lie.

The Minooka High School graduate, who had all the scouts buzzing as a senior, did not have a smooth ride once he was drafted in 2010, but while he has faced adversity, Foltynewicz has always kept progressing and that hard work has paid off this season as he was named to the National League All Star team.

The game will be played Tuesday night in Washington.

He enters the game with a 7-5 record for the Atlanta Braves with a 2.66 ERA and 120 strikeouts. His 10.623 strikeouts per nine innings is 10th among all MLB pitchers.

“As a program, we are super proud of Mike and personally, I just couldn’t be happier for Mike,” said Minooka head baseball coach Jeff Petrovic. “He has worked really hard, he is a great talent and a great person and it is nice to see great things happen to great people and someone I care about so much.”

Foltynewicz, 26, had planned to pitch for the University of Texas after Minooka, but chose to forego college after he was drafted by the Houston Astros in the first round, 19th overall selection, of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft.

In 2012, Foltynewicz was the Astros Minor League Pitcher of the Year after going 14–4 with a 3.14 ERA and 125 strikeouts in SEE ALL-STAR PAGE 9

He made his MLB debut for the Astros on August 2, 2014 against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Then on January 14, 2015, Foltynewicz was traded to Atlanta and made his Braves debut on May 1 of that year, earning his first career win.

Foltynewicz battled injury and surgery in 2015 and 2016 and on June 30, 2017 he took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against Oakland Athletics, but allowed a home run to the leadoff man and was pulled.

On June 1, 2018, Foltynewicz pitched his first career complete game against the Washington Nationals, earning a shutout and 11 strikeouts.

“People have said for a long time it is coming, but until it happens, there is always some

THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2018 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM doubt. There are always the doubters and critics and they can be pretty loud. People may be surprised by what they have seen this year, but this is not a surprise to me,” Petrovic said.

“This is something that I expected because this kid is so talented and there was never a doubt in my mind that he would get this far. You have to get used to the travel and the workload and we can’t even comprehend what these guys go through. So what, it took him a couple years to get there – so what. It takes something to happen to catapult you to the next level and this could be huge for Mike. The sky is the limit for Mike. This may throw him into another realm.

“We could be having a talk in 15 years when he is in the Hall of Fame – he is that special of a talent. I love to death and am just happy for him.”

“It was a breath of fresh air to go to a motor sports event and one that was the quality of this,” he said. “We perform at a lot of

fairs and places like that, so this was nice. It was a good merge of two different types of motorsports. My hat is off to the gentleman at Route 66 Raceway that brought us in and he they said they thought there was a chance we would be brought back – so hopefully we are back next year.”

Russell was joined by Cody Elkins and Jared Larue at the event.

If there wasn’t enough excitement inside the track, fans were treated to more fire stunts as they exited the grandstands and made their way to their cars.

Fire breather Logan Cruz was back for her second year of performing for fans and drew a hefty crowd from fans that wanted more entertainment.

“I love the event here,” Cruz said. “I have never been super into cars, but the cars that are here are so cool, especially the jet cars. It is perfect because everyone gets psyched up about the fire inside and as they are walking out, there is more fire. It really is a family event out here.”

Cruz will be the feature artist in a web series called Chicago Talent, a new reality show that showcases the lives and endeavors of several Illinois artists and entrepreneurs, that will begin in August.

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

Better to pre-plan vs. pre-pay funeral

say it’s always better to pre-plan, not pre-pay, for a funeral. Can you refresh my understanding of this?

REBECCA DEAR REBECCA, Let’s use a round figure, and say the cost of a funeral is $10,000.

What would $10,000 grow to 25 years from now if it were invested in a good mutual fund? Now, juxtapose that number with the increase in the cost of a funeral over that time. The average inflation rate of consumer-purchased items is around four percent.

So, the cost of funerals, on average, has risen about four percent a year. By comparison, you could’ve invested that money, and it would’ve grown at 10 or 12 percent in a good mutual fund.

Now understand, I’m not knocking folks who are in the funeral business. But lots of businesses that provide these services realize more margin in selling pre-paid policies than they do in caskets. In other words, they don’t make as much money selling the casket as they do selling a prepaid policy on the casket.

Do you understand my reasoning? If we knew the exact date she pre-paid, and how much she prepaid, that figure invested in a good mutual fund would be a whole lot more than the cost of a reasonable funeral. It’s the same principle behind the reason I advise folks to not pre-pay college, or just about anything else, that’s likely far into the future. The money you

could’ve made on the investment is a lot more than the value of prepaying. Pre-planning, on the other hand, is a great idea for many things — including funerals.

I’m truly sorry for your loss, Rebecca. God bless you all.

Annual Senior Resource Festival set for Aug. 2 Senior Services of Will County will kick off its annual Senior Resource Festival on Thursday, August 2, 2018 from 9 am to 2 pm at Joliet First Assembly, Joliet, Illinois.

More than 500 seniors are expected to attend the Annual Senior Resource Festival. The resource festival will focus on making sure each senior receives the necessary information and access to resources they need to remain healthy and live independently. Seniors will enjoy breakfast, lunch, exciting raffle prizes every half hour and entertainment throughout the day.

Many workshops will be available that focus on the top senior concerns, such as, how to avoid senior scams and identity theft, remaining healthy and much more.

Twenty-five percent of older adults in Will County are either diabetic or pre-diabetic, and may not even know it. Senior Services of Will County strives to improve the quality of life for this older adult population by offering free health screenings at the festival, such as cholesterol, balance, hear-

ing and more to help identify a problem early. The path to achieve longevity is to improve older adult’s quality of life and health screenings are an important part of maintaining good health.

An added feature this year, is the mobile food pantry truck which will be on-site to distribute food from 9 am-2 pm for registered festival attendees, courtesy of the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

“Seniors today are not the seniors of yesterday,” said Barry Kolanowski, Executive Director of Senior Services of Will County, “The 60+ crowd are more active than

ever before, mentally, physically and socially. Just because we’re older, doesn’t mean it’s over.”

Seniors are embracing life and to help them do it, Senior Services of Will County connects those over 60 with resources, information, services and programs to help them be safe, healthy and independent.

The Annual Senior Resource Festival is free to seniors 60+. For more information on exhibiting, providing health screenings, volunteering or to become a workshop presenter, please contact Renee’ Black at 815-740-4525 or seniorlife@agingspecialists.org.
