Stay safe as classes begin

Parents are encouraged to have school emergency plans BUGLE STAFF REPORT The halls of local schools will again be filled starting Monday, as the Troy 30C school district gets

back in session. The first day of classes is Monday, Aug. 20, and is a full day for all schools in the district.

As yellow buses again fill the streets and drop off locations crowd up, drivers are reminded of the following safety rules in school zones: Speed limit – The speed limit is all school zones is 20 m.p.h. School zones are in effect on school days when children are present. Cell phones – Illinois law prohibits use of cell phones while driving, unless it is a hands-free device. Stopped buses – All drivers must stop and wait for school buses with lights and arm extended that are picking up or dropping off students. Local police will be patrolling areas around schools as the school year kicks into gear, making sure that drivers are complying with all state and local laws. Drivers are reminded that they must stop and wait for all crossing guards, until the guards have cleared the street of children and moved back to the

Bertino-Tarrant passes law to increase college affordability Illinois students will have additional opportunities to lower the out-of-pocket costs of their college education thanks to State Senator Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant (D-Shorewood). Bertino-Tarrant championed Senate Bill 2527 to prohibit school boards from limiting the number of dual-credit courses taken by a student. It was signed into law Friday. “Dual-credit courses offer great economic benefits to families,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “As the mother of a high school sophomore, I know what parents are going through. Like any other parent, I want my children to graduate college full of opportunities, not burdened with student loans.” Dual credit, which allows students to enroll in postsecondary coursework while still enrolled in high school, is a promising approach to improving academic outcomes for students, BertinoTarrant said. “These courses help prepare students for college coursework while meeting general high

school requirements,” BertinoTarrant said. “They are also much more cost effective than waiting to take the courses at a college or university.” Under Senate Bill 2527, dualcredit courses must be taught by an instructor as outlined by the Illinois school code or by a licensed teacher or community college professor or instructor in Illinois. The new law also requires a school board to award high

school credit to a student for dual-credit coursework unless the course’s rigor and content does not meet the Illinois Learning Standard. “College can be expensive,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “This new law will give our students a chance to save money while better preparing them for higher education courses.” Senate Bill 2527 passed with bipartisan support and will take effect Jan. 1, 2019.

sidewalk. Failure to comply with school zone regulations can result in higher fines. Meanwhile, as school heads back into session, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and local emergency management agencies across the state are reminding educators about the recent recommendations of the Illinois Terrorism Task Force School Safety Working Group. The group’s 13 recommendations are designed to help make Illinois schools safer. These recommendations were presented to Governor Bruce Rauner back in May. “There is no single answer to achieving school safety,” said Mike Chamness, Chairman of the

Illinois Terrorism Taskforce. “No individual has all of the answers, but the experience and expertise found within the members of the School Safety Working Group illustrate the state’s commitment to offer practical recommendations for our schools to implement into their policies and procedures.” Parents are also urged to include emergency preparedness in their back-to-school plans, including finding out your district’s plans for evacuations, making sure your emergency contact information at your child’s school is up to days, and teaching students that in case of emergency, to send short simple texts rather than longer versions to let parents know they are safe.

1908 Springﬁeld race riot led to the creation of the NAACP BY THE (SPRINGFIELD) STATE JOURNALREGISTER One of the pre-eminent civil rights organizations was born from one of the worst moments in Springfield’s history. In August 1908, a white mob, thwarted in an attempt to lynch two black inmates in the Sangamon County Jail, went on a rampage. They destroyed dozens of black-owned businesses and homes in Springfield. Two black men were lynched and five white men died during the riot, with dozens more injured. Other deaths connected to the riots happened in the days prior to and after it ended. Appalled that such an event took place in Abraham Lincoln’s hometown, civil rights activists in New York began meetings that led to the formation of the NAACP. For numerous reasons, noticeable tension along racial lines existed among the 50,000 people who lived in Springfield in 1908. That tension boiled over in August, having simmered for at least a month after the first of two highprofile accusations were made against black men. NEW TO TOWN On or near June 1, 1908, 17-year-old black teenager Joe James jumped off a freight train passing through Springfield. Police ordered him to leave but James stuck around, and was eventually arrested for loitering. Late the evening of July 4, when he was granted a temporary parole from jail for good behavior, by James’ own account, he must have wandered drunk and fell asleep outside. That same night, an intruder resembling James’ description entered the Ballard home. Alerted by his daughter Blanche’s screams, Clergy Ballard, a popular white mining engineer, caught up to the stranger outside the house. The two scuffled and Ballard returned bleeding profusely. He died the next day. Ballard’s sons and other young men searched the neighborhood and found a sleeping James and beat him senseless. Police arrived and broke up the bludgeoning. James denied knowing anything about the home invasion or Ballard’s injuries, still he was charged with the crime. Perhaps the rage would have faded and James’ trial would have been held without incident had Mabel Hallam not falsely claimed a black man named

George Richardson sexually assaulted and dragged her from her Springfield house near midnight on Thursday, Aug. 13, 1908.

THE FIRST DAY Crowds grew outside Sangamon County Jail, where Richardson was being held, as news of Hallam’s alleged rape spread. The state militia was summoned, but it would take hours for troops to arrive. Sangamon County Sheriff Charles Werner decided to sneak Richardson and James out of the jail, hoping that if the crowd learned they were gone, people would go home. Werner had a fire station nearby sound its alarm and dispatch its trucks past the crowd. Werner was able to get prisoners out of the jail and into a car that sped off to Bloomington. The crowd became incensed when it was discovered they had been duped. A handful of militiamen arrived at the jail and pushed back the crowd. But by then, word had spread the car used to escort James and Richardson out of town belonged to Harry Loper, a white downtown restaurant owner. Within minutes, thousands assembled in front of Loper’s restaurant. An estimated 5,000 rioters destroyed Loper’s restaurant and torched his car. Then, organized groups methodically decimated dozens of black businesses and tenant rooms with bricks, torches and bullets. Several black residents, either working downtown or who were out at the wrong place at the wrong time, were attacked and beaten. By 11 p.m., the mob had reached the “Badlands,” where many of the city’s black families lived. The mob spent the next four hours torching roughly 40 black homes, avoiding those lived in by whites. At about 2 a.m., the mob reached Scott Burton’s home. Burton had already lost his barbershop business and had sent his family away. He was soon beaten and lynched; his body was mutilated for the next half hour with bullets and knives. Only after Col. Richings J. Shand ordered his militia troops to fire low into the crowd shortly after Burton’s lynching did rioting end for the day. THE SECOND DAY By Saturday morning, Aug. 15, six were dead or dying and more than 100

whites and blacks had been injured. Many black residents had fled the city, although some found shelter in the basements of white neighbors while others organized defensive fronts and patrols. Dozens sought refuge at Camp Lincoln and inside the Illinois State Arsenal, where the militia, sent from throughout the state early Saturday morning, pitched tents. Stationed at various locations throughout the city, law enforcement officers fanned across town chasing small outbreaks and rumors of outbreaks the second day of the riot. Organized rioting seemed to be over, but between 7 and 8 p.m., smaller bands began forming. They gathered quickly, struck, dispersed, then gathered somewhere else with little warning. At about 8 p.m., roughly 1,000 rioters approached the Arsenal. But they scattered once militiamen there showed their guns. The mob reorganized several blocks to the southwest, outside the home of William Donnegan, an elderly black man and retired shoemaker who owned considerable property. He also was married to a white woman. Rioters dragged Donnegan, 84 years old and begging for mercy, out of his home. They slashed his throat and proceeded to lynch him. Militia and city police arrived as Donnegan was being raised. He died the next day. AFTERMATH Although Donnegan’s murder traditionally is seen as the last act of the two-day riot, hate crimes and threats continued for months. More than 100 white residents would be indicted on riot-related charges, including murder. Trials were held but only one person — Abe Raymer, an accused ringleader — was charged in relation to the riots (with petty larceny). Hallam, the young married woman whose rape claim pushed the town over the edge, would later confess she concocted her story (possibly, according to one newspaper, to conceal an affair with a white lover). Richardson had been one of several black laborers working on a house near her home and made an easy scapegoat. He was released from jail and returned to Springfield, eventually retiring from Bell Telephone as a janitor.

AMERICAN

MADE Pair of local martial artists will join their coaches and compete internationally in Jiu-Jitsu BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

For 10 years, Caitlin McHale showed power, strength and elegance as a gymnast. After leaving the sport, she was looking for a new challenge and she found one that carried over two of the three traits she used as a gymnast in martial arts. Now 17-years-old, McHale is part of the Hill Brothers Team training out of SUDA International Training Center in Plainfield. She will be heading to Columbia to compete in the PanAmerican Championships for Team USA in Jiu-Jitsu. “I had to adjust a lot of what I did because one is a nice, elegant sport and the other is beating people up,” McHale said with a smile. “The flexibility has

helped a lot and the sports work ethic has carried over.” Originally after giving up gymnastics, McHale joined out of a desire for self-preservation. “I was in gymnastic for 10 years and I quit and I knew I wanted to do an individual sport that still felt like a team and I wanted to know how to protect myself,” she said. “So, I started two-and-a-half years ago and I loved it automatically. “ What started as wanting to learn striking, McHale started Jiu-Jitsu and rose through the ranks quickly and now will make her first trip to compete abroad. “I started competing after six months and I never expected it to come this soon for me,” she said. “It has been a lot of hard work and dedication. I come in every day and train hard and SEE MADE PAGE 9

Route 66 Classic coming August 18 BY MARK GREGORY Editorial Director @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

When the Route 66 Classic takes place on Saturday, Aug. 18, there will be a crown passed as 2017 Miss Classic Tonya Marie will end her reign and crown the new winner of the contest. As the 2017 Miss Classic, she served as an ambassador and spokeswoman for Route 66 Raceway and Chicagoland Speedway. “I got to do all kinds of different events, from NASCAR to NHRA to World of Wheels,” Tonya said. “It was a little more unique than a regular pin-up contest. “Like any pin-up contest, it is based off your vintage persona and how well you embrace that.” For Tonya Marie, the 2017 Miss Classic was her debut in pin-up pagents.

“This was my first and only I had ever done. I had no idea what to expect and girls showed up with suitcases full of outfits,” she said. “There is a whole culture around the pin-up and I have learned to really love it. It is just so classy.” In order to win Miss Classic, contestants have to embrace the period look, answer questions and help the track raise money for a good cause. The ladies will be challenged to enter the racer pits and solicit donations benefitting Pits for Patriots. The contestant that earns the most in donations will be crowned the Queen of Hearts. Pits for Patriots rescues and trains pit bulls as service dogs for veterans and first responders with physical and emotional needs. The organization works fervently to alter the negative public opinion surrounding the pit bull breed while simultane-

ously delivering veterans and first responders with the support they require. Pits for Patriots provides a trained animal to the recipient for no cost. The Miss Classic contest is just one of the many events happening off the track at the Route 66 Classic. “Route 66 has done a great job of incorporating other things to do while you are there. If its in between races, or if there is a certain bracket you are not interested in,” Tonya Marie said. “They put a lot of effort into the extra entertainment. Especially at the Classic, they research what was big in that era and they bring that out there for the fans.” The event, which is sponsored by D’Arcy Buick GMC, pays homage to the early drag racing and hot rod culture while presenting the ultimate trip down memory lane. Fans will be treated to a blast

from the past as they walk through the gates of the World’s First True Stadium of Drag Racing and leave the world of 2018 behind perusing vintage-style art, grab a drink at the Sneaky Tiki Bar and grab some grub from the Route 66 Diner. “We witnessed incredible success with the D’Arcy Buick GMC Route 66 Classic in 2017, highlighted by ideal weather, exciting racing action and unparalleled midway content that only Route 66 Raceway can deliver,” said Scott Paddock, President of Route 66 Raceway. “We look forward to building upon that momentum in 2018 with an enhanced spectator displays and supreme racing during the event.”

ON-TRACK CONTENT Unlike any other event at Route 66 Raceway, the Route 66 Classic will solely feature

nostalgia match drag racing. This means that Funny Cars, Altereds, Pro Stocks, Super Stocks and over 150 other vehicles, all 1979 and older, will have the chance to take a pass during the event. Tom Motry’s Drastic Plastic Nostalgia Nitro-Altered Funny Car will face off against John Lawson and the Runaway Nitro Funny Car in a can’t-miss battle. Route 66 Raceway will also offer a Runn Tuff Eliminator competition which was made famous at US-30 Dragstrip and Oswego Dragway as well as a Test & Tune. New for 2018, an on-track Cacklefest and the crowning of the new Miss Classic will take place prior to the evening program. Capping off the event will be a jet car finale by Barry Richter’s Hypersonic Jet Funny Car. Classic Car Cruise-In Last year, Route 66 Raceway SEE CLASSIC PAGE 9

MADE FROM PAGE 7 there is no set time when something is going to happen, you can’t expect anything, you just have to go hard. Since I started, it has been my dream [to compete overseas] and I honestly didn’t think I was good enough, but I have always tried my best.” McHale said she was never sure if she was ready for the next step, but believes in what coaches Ron and James Hill say. The Hill Brothers are also the coach for the US team she will compete on. “I trust my coaches that whatever they think I can do,” McHale said. “I believe in them and they think I am ready – so I am going to go and give it my best and hopefully win.” McHale has had another mentor in the training room in 21-year-old Alexandra Barillas of Joliet. Barillas has been part of SUDA International for nearly 10 years and will be making her fourth trip out of the country to compete when she heads to Sweden in November to compete in the Jiu-Jitsu World Championships. While she is getting ready for her own tournament, Barillas is also happy to help McHale. “I am excited I can be there for her and we can be there and push each other. I know what she is going to see, I know what to expect, so I can help her get there,” Barillas said. “We all inspire each other and it is good that we have girl power in here too.” Barillas first started with SUDA after watching her young-

Barillas was no stranger to rough sports before joining, as she played soccer and rugby at Plainfield Central. “I never expected to go this far and when I was given the opportunity I was so blessed. I have my whole family who believes in me and I believe in myself,” Barillas said. “I am extremely excited and I am already getting pumped.

I have been getting ready for a few months because I am determined to win.” Like McHale, the Hill brothers will be the head coaches for Team USA when Barillas heads to Sweden.

and we were in rooms that only three US Presidents have been in,” Ron Hill said. “We went from just trying to make a tough team to going all over the world.” The Hills will coach athletes from all across the United States as well as their homegrown athletes that are making the trips. “We have local athletes earning spots on US National teams right in their back yard and people don’t know about it,” Hill said. “Caitlin is our 32nd person to make a US National team and this is James and I, our sixth US National team that we are

coaching. The worlds are crazy because that is all some people do. Some of the countries are government funded, it is Olympic caliber.” While SUDA International has sent more than 30 athletes overseas, that is not all the Hill Brothers Team focuses on. “We have business owners, police officers and we still have the element of a world-wide team,” Ron said. “We are going to make better people out of them by teaching them martial arts and then what comes of it is what comes of it.”

Seniors’ senses of smell & taste change with age Sense of smell is vital to personal health Aging comes with several sensory changes, many of which people expect. Loss of hearing or diminishing vision are widely associated with aging. But one’s senses of smell and taste may diminish with aging as well. The senses of taste and smell work in concert. The sense of smell is vital to personal health, not only because inhaling pleasant aromas can provide comfort and stress relief through aromatherapy and help trigger important memories, but also because smell enables a person to detect the dangers of smoke, gas, spoiled food, and more. The National Institute on Aging says that, as a person gets

older, his or her sense of smell may fade, and that will also affect taste. The Mayo Clinic says some loss of taste and smell is natural and can begin as early as age 60. Adults have about 9,000 taste buds sensing sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami flavors, or

those corresponding to the flavor of glutamates. Many tastes are linked to odors that begin at the nerve endings in the lining of the nose. Medline says the number of taste buds decreases as one ages, and that remaining taste buds may begin to shrink.

Sensitivity to the five tastes also begins to decline. This can make it more difficult to distinguish between flavors. Similarly, especially after age 70, smell can diminish due to a loss of nerve endings and less mucus in the nose. With the combination of the reduction of these important sensory nerves in the nose and on the tongue, loss of smell and taste can greatly affect daily life. Changes in these senses can contribute to feelings of depression, diminish one’s enjoyment of food and cause harmful conditions, such as extreme weight loss from disinterest in food to problems associated with overusing salt or sugar. Although aging is often to blame, loss of smell and taste also may be tied to early symptoms of Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. Cancer treatments, medica-

tions, lack of saliva, colds, flu, and other factors may contribute to sensory loss. Changing medications or treatments may help. It’s important to bring up diminished flavors or smells with a doctor to rule out something more serious and to determine what might help restore pleasure from smells and flavors. An otolaryngologist, or a doctor who specializes in diseases of the ears, nose and throat, may be able to help fix the problem, though some people may be referred to a neurologist or another specialist. Continuing to use one’s sense of smell and taste by cooking, gardening, trying new flavors, and experimenting with different aromas may help slow down the decline these senses. Although age-related loss of taste and smell cannot be reversed, some such cases may be treatable.
