Church assists victims of June tornado and area children in need

by Megann Horstead

FOR THE SENTINEL

To the victims looking up into the eye of the storm, it seemed to be an unjust eye for an eye.

For members of one Shorewood church, the hope is that faith is restored by lending a heart for a heart.

Holy Family Parish Outreach Ministry called on the Will County chapter of Project Linus to assist those in need and victims of the June 22 Coal Cityarea tornado by making bundles filed with love. Bundlz of Love, an event where fleece blankets were made for those in need, took place between 1 and 4 p.m.

Church assists victims of June tornado and area children in need Continued from Page 1

“One of our main missions is that we give [those in need] handmade blankets to wrap them with warmth and security,” Courtney Huffman, coordinator of Project Linus of Will County, said.

PlainfieldteenMadisonSchroeder attended Bundlz of Love to help with that mission. Schroeder, 13, said she didn’t feel enough support

was being provided to the victims of the Coal City-area tornado, leaving her compelled to attend the event and make a difference.

The Shorewood church is approximately a 25-minute drive from Coal City, making the community’s efforts to support victims of the storm all the more important.

Twelve tornadoes touched down across northern Illinois that day, but Coal City and its residents experienced the most damage.

According to the NationalWeather Service, a category EF-3 tornado

possessing wind speed traveling up to 160 mph occurred after severe weather warnings shifted southward to northern Illinois late June 22 and early June 23.

The storm did not cause a single fatality but injured 14 people and caused damage to approximately 800 properties.

Madison Cuprinski, another 13-year-old from Plainfield, knew she wanted to make a difference in the community, attending the event with a fleece blanket in hand.

“It’s kind of fun and relaxing,” she said, noting that Bundlz of

Love is one of many causes worth supporting.

Bundlz of Love drew in more than 300 fleece blankets through donations to assist those affected by the storm and others in need.

On average, Project Linus of Will County makes and distributes between 50 and 200 blankets each month.

Kimberly Leyva, co-chairperson for Holy Family Parish Outreach Ministry, said the community’s involvement at Bundlz of Love was amazing to see. She noted that more than 350 people preregistered for the event, exceeding the organization’s goal by 100 people.

“Outreach Ministry has been volunteering with the Coal City Tornado Rescue Relief and Rebuild volunteer program and assisting the families of our sister parishes in

Coal City and Braidwood that were devastated by the tornado,” Leyva said.

She added that Outreach Ministry is dedicated to helping individuals and families in need, as well as 501(c)(3) organizations with similar missions.

Project Linus of Will County supports a number of groups and individuals, including those who are homeless, young persons living in the foster care system and children receiving pediatric care, among others.

The nonprofit is backed by organizations in a number of regions, including Boys Scouts, honors societies, church groups and other individuals.

The Will County Chapter of Project Linus accepts donations on an ongoing basis.

Mobile Driver Services Unit coming to village Secretary of State Jesse White announced that his Mobile Driver Services Unit will be at the Troy Township Community Center on Oct. 27.

Illinois residents will be able to renew their driver’s licenses, obtain duplicate or corrected licenses, and obtain Illinois identification cards between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The Community Center is located at 25448 Seil Road. A Rules of the Road review course will also be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The review course combines an explanation of safe

driving techniques, Illinois driving laws and a practice written exam.

Individuals interested in participating in the Rules of the Road review course should call 815-744-1963 to preregister.

An applicant renewing a current Illinois driver’s license or identification card need only present a current valid driver’s license or identification card.

If the applicant is applying for either a duplicate or corrected driver’s license or identification card the applicant must present two forms of identification.

Counseling program will continue at Joliet High School Will County officials plug $100,000 hole to keep mental health program afloat Community leaders banded together to save a valuable counseling program for Joliet Township High School students on the verge of elimination due to budgetary constraints.

Just before the start of the school year, Joliet Township High School officials found out that the mental health portion of the Youth Experiencing Success in School program was to be eliminated.

Valuable mental health services are provided on-site at the high school campuses through the Will County Health Department, as part of YESS. The Health Department began providing mental health services on-site at Joliet Central and West High School in 2005 through the YESS program, which was made possible via a five-year grant.

“Although the grant expired in 2010, the Will County Health Department remained committed to providing in-school counseling and mental health services through a full-time licensed clinician who supervises about 10 interns at both campuses,” said JTHS Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy.

“These valuable services have yielded amazing results since 2005, so when we learned the program was in jeopardy, we knew we had to take action.”

McCarthy called on the community for help, bringing together YESS partners and community leaders for a meeting in early August.

“We had to put our heads together to figure out a way to continue the

services,” said McCarthy. “We know the program works, and we didn’t want to see a change in supports for our students.”

The positive change in school climate has been drastic.

“Since 2005, fighting is down 69 percent, assaults are down 27 percent and expulsions are down 67 percent,” said McCarthy. “In addition, during the 2014-2015 school year, nearly 300 students received mental health services through the program and there was a 100 percent graduation rate for the seniors in the program. This is just remarkable.”

To continue the program for the 2015-16 school year, McCarthy informed community partners that $100,000 was needed. She pointed out that through the use of interns approximately $620,000 worth of services are provided to JTHS students.

“It’s a great approach. By using interns we are able to maximize our services for a fraction of the cost,” she added.

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, a YESS partner since the program’s inception, immediately

contributed $10,000 in emergency funding to keep the program operating while community leaders worked on filling the $90,000 gap.

State’s Attorney Glasgow used forfeiture funding, which is money seized from offenders who were using it to conduct criminal enterprises, to pay for the program.

“The value of this program is tremendous when you consider the many benefits it brings to individual students, the Joliet Township High School District and the entire community,” Glasgow said. “Our investment in YESS pays back immense dividends when you provide struggling students the counseling and assistance necessary to complete their homework and succeed in school. Those students will become valuable members of our community.

The other option – to allow these students to fail – is something we can never consider when we have a proven and effective resource like YESS available to us,” Glasgow added.

Glasgow and McCarthy next appealed to the Will County Health Board during its Aug. 19 public meeting.

“We needed the board’s support as we sought funding, and we needed to share the value and impact of the program,” said McCarthy.

Will County Board of Health members and administration immediately saw the importance of continuing the program, finding money in the budget to complete the funding gap.

Dear Editor, I understand how the plague of heroin has resulted in far too many mothers and fathers having to bury their children.

In many communities, it is easier for teenagers to get access to this drug than alcohol.

This is why I am disappointed in Gov. Rauner’s amendatory veto of landmark legislation I supported this year to combat this deadly disease. Thankfully, I joined with a bipartisan group of legislators to override the governor’s veto.

problem across much of Illinois, the steps taken in Will County have resulted in lives being saved. The leadership shown by local leaders to equip law enforcement officers with life-saving medication has been instrumental in reducing the number of fatalities from 53 in 2012 to 33 in 2014. The governor’s veto would mean those who are most vulnerable to addiction will be blocked from accessing emergency care.

I believe the governor’s decision in valuing dollars over lives was extremely short-sighted. Last year alone, over 600 people in Illinois died from overdosing

on heroin. Cutting off thousands of Illinoisans from medication and treatment will only lead to more dependency and death. Not only will getting users the help they need save lives, but will also save the state over $58 million in Medicaid spending.

I would like to thank both Democratic and Republican legislators who took the compassionate and responsible vote to save lives and protect children in our community from heroin.

state title JCA returns 6 from state runner-up squad of last year

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

A year ago, the Joliet Catholic Academy girls volleyball team opened the season with a 9-11 record before winning 16 of its final 19 games heading into the state tournament, where it took second in Class 3A. The turnaround wasn’t a fluke, as coach Christine Scheibe said, it started with changes to the lineup.

“It was last year when I put some of those juniors in the lineup is when we started winning,” she said.

“I expect a lot out of them this year with that experience.

“We have six girls back from the team that took second in state a year ago, so that gives us a lot of experience. We moved some of them around position wise.”

Returning are seniors Meghan Harrison, Megan Malone, Addy Alt, Jessica Simon, Megan Cladis and junior Taylor Zurliene.

Malone returns as the Angels’ top assist player from last year, posting 342, while being third on the team with 200 digs.

Cladis posted the most digs on the team with 266 a year ago, while adding 48 kills and 38 aces.

Zurline was fourth on the team a year ago with 102 kills, while Alt added 79.

“What I like about this group, the seniors especially, is they are very competitive,” Scheibe said. “Even though they lack some of the height,

they have a drive in them and they know how to compete.”

That lack of height has only one Angel taller than 5-feet, 9-inches and that comes in the form of junior Sheridan Kelly.

Alt and Cladis both check in at 5-9, as does sophomore Sarah Nahas and senior Adraina Acosta.

Acosta, the Bugle’s Joliet-area multisport athlete of the year for the 2014-15 season as a basketball and soccer player, returns to volleyball after the one-year hiatus.

“She is just a heck of an athlete, and it is nice to have her on the team,” Scheibe said.

Joining Acosta as a new senior to the team is Caroline Ley, who was cut last year and came back out.

“She has been playing really well in practice,” Scheibe said. “Them coming back out is a testament to what the girls did last year and wanting to be a part of it and knowing the tradition and knowing what we are always capable of doing.”

The Angels opened play with the first of several tough games on the schedule, facing off against Mother McAuley, who defeated JCA 25-16, 25-14.

Acosta and Cladis tallied four kills each to pace the Angels, while Harrison posted 11 digs and Cladis adding nine. Simon led the setters with assists.

With the way the season opened a year ago, Scheibe knows the team

Roundup

Porters take 3rd in SWSC match The Lockport boys golf team finished third in a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division match with HomewoodFlossmoor and Lincoln-Way Central at Big Run. The Porters posted a 161, while HF tallied a 149 and Lincoln-Way Central a 156.

Lockport was led by John Parker who shot 37, followed by 41s from Andrew Crowe and Massimo Onesto. The Porters were rounded out by Jimmy Sexton (42), who edged out Reid Rimsnider (42) on a scorecard playoff for final card honors with a par on the par-5 9th.

“I was pleased at the way we came back from our performance

Tuesday cutting down our score by six strokes,” said Lockport coach Matt Eber. “I feel the kids are making adjustments and working hard to bring the scores down. John Parker’s 37 was a great comeback score from an off night on Tuesday. I was happy to see him turn it around and lead this team tonight in scoring.”

Earlier in the week, Lockport hosted a quad with H-F, LincolnWay West and Andrew, also at Big Run. The Vikings were again winners (153), but Lockport was second with a 167, while Andrew posted a 172 and West shot a 200.

Noah Speechley paced Lockport with a 40, followed by Onesto’s

41. Alex Middleton carded a 42 and Ryan Gorz 44, who beat his brother Trevor, who also shot 44, on a scorecard playoff to claim the last carding score for the Porters “I was really pleased to see Noah and Alex shoot the way they did today and that is only going to help our depth to have juniors step up and add to the mix of players who can post a quality number,” Eber said.

BOYS SOCCER Joliet West (3-1) beat Reavis 2-0 on goals from Dan Ramos and Gerardo Nicolas. Elber Haro tallied an assist. Jaime Reyes got the win with five saves.

Indians feature many new faces

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

The Minooka girls volleyball team headed into this season with a lot of new faces, including new coach Carrie Prosek.

She returns to the Minooka bench after a brief hiatus, but this time with the girls squad. Prosek previously was the head boys coach of the boys team before stepping away to begin her family.

“I was the head girls volleyball coach at Joliet Township for two years in 1998 and ‘99 season, but I coached boys after that,” she said. “I really haven’t coached high school girls in many years.”

Prosek said she enjoys coaching the girls because they focus more on fundamentals, while guys are more athleticism based.

“I enjoy teaching them and seeing the improvement from camp to summer to now on players that I had never coached before,” she said. “I coached a lot of them in eighth grade on their club team. It is interesting to see where they have come from since eighth grade.”

Just because the girls are more skill based doesn’t mean they aren’t athletic.

“We have phenomenal athletes and we have so many players who can play multiple positions that we have to work with this and look to see what is the best fit,” Prosek said. “Just because we win with something, it might not be the best one. We have many players that can play multiple positions, so there are several lineups I can run out there.”

Aside from Prosek, many of the players are new as well, as the

angels | from page 7 won’t panic with a loss.

“We are looking to build to the end of the season, we just need to peak at the right time,” she said.

“We have to learn along the way and improve every match. We were able to turn things around last year, the trick is to not wait until the middle of the season to start.”

If JCA is to make a run through the playoffs this season, it will do so without facing a pair of recent Class 3A powers in Breese Mater Dei and St. Francis.

St. Francis will be a 4A school because of an increase in enrollment,

Indians have only four seniors on the team.

“This team is a little bit younger,” she said. “I have four seniors, four juniors and four freshmen. I have four starting sophomores. Emily Heise and Ginger Perniar are back as seniors and Aly Papesh started as a freshman and only played front row.”

Joining them are setters Brooklyn Bachmann and Taylor Baranski, along with hitter Kamryn Johnson and Holly Bond is a middle and Rocky Perinar, Ginger’s sister.

“I like that I am walking into a lot of fresh faces on the varsity and I can start to put my stamp as far as building a program,” Prosek said.

Although the team has a new coach and new faces, the goals remain the same.

“The goal is to always win conference,” Ginger Perinar said.

“The conference this year is very stacked. I’ve played with a lot of the girls over the years. All of the teams are very good. Last year we went pretty far and we have a lot of returning starters, height and expectations.

“I think we can fill those expectations. The coaching has been great and I am really excited about this year. We have strong sophomores this year.”

Hise feels the make-up of this team can help them to reach their goals.

“I love our team this year,” Hise said. “We are definitely a young team. I feel like that kind of gives us an edge. I’m really excited for it. I’m really looking forward to playing Plainfield Central and North. They are really strong opponents and have similar front rows.”

After opening the season by going 2-3 in the gold bracket of the

Plainfield North Invite, the Indians opened non-tournament play with a 25-23, 25-18 loss to Joliet Catholic Academy.

Papesh posted seven kills, three blocks and seven digs, while Hise added four blocks.

Bachmann tallied 13 assists.

“We were down 12-2 in the first

set after missing five serves and having many unforced errors fought our way back but wasn’t enough,” Prosek said. “Although we struggle passing, Brooklyn Bachmann does a great job running the offense and Aly Papesh did a great job all around.”

-Scott Taylor contributed

while Mater Dei will move up under the new IHSA Success Advancement rule that advances private schools with repeated success to a class

higher than its enrollment qualifies.

“Sure, we won’t have to play them, but that doesn’t mean anything,” Scheibe said. “There are always

good teams and you have to play who you have to play.”

JCA topped Minooka 25-23, 2518.

GAME 3:

lockport @ joliet central The details: Lockport may have a few more victories under its belt the last few years, but both programs are stuck in a position where they have to learn to win.

For the Steelmen it is learning to win for the first time, while the Porters are trying to get back to where the program was when they were back-to-back state champions.

Right now, both programs struggle to close out games and take the victory when it is there.

Keys to the game: The key to this game will be mistakes – which team makes them and does the other team make them pay for the mistakes.

Ignore the records of the past few season, there will be talent on the field for both teams. Central quarterback Zach Wisnieski is young but talented and will only get better every snap he takes. If he keeps progressing, he will lead the Steelmen to a win, or more, sooner than later.

Lockport has athleticism all over the field and it all starts with

game time 1:30 p.m. Saturday Mr. Do-it-all Diondre Taylor. The Porters have no problem putting Taylor under center, out wide or in the backfield. As he goes, so does Lockport, because it is Taylor’s explosiveness that opens the passing game and the power running attack.

GAME 3:

LWE @ Joliet West The details: In the conference opener for both teams, it is the last time the two will see each other in regular season play as West is in its final season in the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division.

The Griffins have been a staple atop the SWSC since its inception and the Tigers are looking to go out on top.

The game is one of two night games the Tigers will have at home this season.

Keys to the game: Like all games this season, the Tigers are paced by quarterback Alex Tibble.

Tibble’s mobility and arm are key in every West game this season.

Freshman wide receiver Kevon Dorris burst onto the scene in

game time 6:30 p.m. Friday his varsity debut and could be a dangerous weapon all year.

-compiled by Mark Gregory

GAME 3:

Carmel @ jca The details: The Hilltoppers leave a tough nonconference schedule and jump right in to the ever-difficult East Suburban Catholic Conference against a Carmel team that is always a challenge.

Keys to the game: For JCA, all the glory goes to the triple threat

of Cade Earl, Michael Johnson and Harold Davis, but the key is the play of the offensive line.

As long as the line continues to do its job and give Earl time to throw and make holes for the backs, the Hilltoppers will continue to score points this season.
