Police officers show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month Joliet police officers purchase pink badges to wear during October for breast cancer awareness month by ryan Ostry bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

Breast cancer is a disease that affects one out of every eight women in the United States and the Joliet Police officers are doing their part to bring awareness during the month of October by wearing pink badges in place of their normal shields. “This idea started from our chief earlier this year,” said Sergeant Chris Botzum. “These patches we wore on mother’s day and we put out to the officers if they wanted to purchase the pink badge.” October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Joliet police officers were able to purchase the pink badges for $100 and wear them all month. “The proceeds from the badges goes towards the Pink Heals organi-

When a women has breast cancer, it affects the community and the families and friends, so putting the message out there that we do care and want to do our part in helping the community anyway we can is something we take a lot of pride in here. zation,” Botzum said. “We donate the money towards them and we are really happy to help out in any way that we can.” Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer. For the Pink Heals organization,

the money raised with the purchasing of the badges goes to people in the area who are affected by breast cancer. It can be towards people that currently have breast cancer, family members who are living with it or to those who have fallen from the disease or any other form of cancer. “The proceeds go towards people who are also affected by any form of cancer, not just breast cancer,” Botzum said. “ Although there are other organizations and different ways people broadcast their support for breast cancer, Botzum added no matter how small of change someone might think they are positively impacting others who have been affected by cancer, every little bit helps. “Awareness to the fact that is does affect everyone, not just those who have it is something that needs to be known,” Botzum said. “When a women has breast cancer, it affects the community and the families and friends, so putting the message out there that we do care and want to do our part in helping the community anyway we can is something we take a lot of pride in here.”

Shorewood looking to regulate storage pods at village residences i ve seen these storage boxes popping up all over the village. One popped up and never went away by brian stanley

mOre infO since the pods are used for storage, trustee c.c. debold asked if the existing restrictions on sheds near the front of the property line could apply.

Shorewood officials are considering regulations on storage pods at village residences. Though no ordinances are pending, Mayor Richard Chapman and trustees discussed setting time limits at the Oct. 8 board meeting. “I’ve seen these storage boxes popping up all over the village. One popped up and never went away,” Chapman said.

The mayor said he saw 11 pods in driveways on a recent drive through the village, including several near the Brookforest and Country West neighborhoods. “I realize they’re used when people are moving, (but) we don’t have anything on the books for how long they can be there,” Chapman said. “Frequently they’re used for furniture when people are remodeling,” Trustee Anthony Luciano

noted. The mayor and trustees compared having storage pods in the driveway to parking a motorhome there. A Shorewood ordinance, which has been criticized by some residents at other recent meetings, requires recreational vehicles to be moved from a front drive within 72 hours. “But there’s an unlimited amount of time on these,” Chapman said. “It’s really not a very attractive box. It’s big...blue...ugly.” Since the pods are used for storage, Trustee C.C. DeBold asked if the existing restrictions on sheds near the front of the property line could apply. Village staffers are expected to develop a proposal for consideration.

Halloween Safety: Buzzed driving is drunk driving We want our community to have a fun night out on halloween, but to also stay safe and make responsible choices Each year, millions of children and adults alike celebrate Halloween, a holiday known for its sweet treats and spooky parties. Leave the dangerous driving for the witches on brooms, and commit to sober driving Halloween night, and every night. To help spread the message that Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is teaming up with the Joliet Police Department to remind everyone of the dangers of drunk driving. Halloween poses an especially dangerous threat to pedestrians, as more people are out at night on the hunt for candy. If your night involves alcohol, plan for a sober ride home. Remember: It’s never safe to drink

FILE PHOTO

between 2013 and 2017, there were 158 drunk-driving fatalities on halloween night (6 p.m. October 31 5:59 a.m. november 1) and drive. “This year, Halloween falls on a Thursday, so we’re certain to see extra parties throughout the weekend, and every single partygoer should plan their sober ride home in advance” said Chief Al Roechner. “Even one drink can impair judgement.

You should never put yourself, or others, at risk because you made the selfish choice to drink and drive. For most, even one drink can be one too many. Remember: Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.”

Two men shot in Joliet, one dead by brian stanley bugle staff

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

A Joliet man was shot to death Oct. 10 on the east side. Joliet police said Jesse B. Hannah, 33, and a 19-year-old man were discovered by officers at 1:46 a.m. after gunfire was reported at the intersection of Krakar and Elgin avenues. Both men had been

shot and were found nearby. Hannah was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room at 2:14 a.m. The 19-year-old was hospitalized in critical condition. An autopsy performed by the Will County Coroner’s office showed Hannah was shot multiple times. Hannah, who would have turned

34 the next day, only appears in Will County court records for minor traffic violations. Joliet police have asked if any residence or business has surveillance video showing suspicious activity from 12:30 and 2 a.m. Oct. 10 between Walnut and Briggs streets and Route 30 to Copperfield Avenue to contact detectives at (815) 724-3020.

Man arrested with weapon, drugs by brian stanley bugle staff

@BugleNewspapers bstanley@buglenewspapers.com

Police say a Joliet man was carrying a loaded gun, open alcohol and vials of crack when he was arrested Oct. 7. At 11:56 p.m. officers reportedly saw a vehicle commit a traffic violation at Fifth and Gardner avenues and made a traffic stop.

“Burnt cannabis was emitting from the vehicle and one of the occupants was on parole,” police said. The driver, Jarrell M. Luckey, 34, allegedly refused to get out and had to be pulled from the car by police. “A loaded firearm was located under the driver’s seat. Glass vials containing suspected crack cocaine was also located in the ve-

hicle along with an open alcoholic beverage,” police said. Luckey, of the 2100 block of Belmont Avenue, was arrested on charges of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful possession of ammunition, manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and obstructing a police officer.

a pair of early safeties help Joliet West hold off Joliet central for crosstown win by ryan Ostry bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

Last year, Joliet Central made history against Joliet West. For the first time in 29 years, the Steelmen beat the Tigers 20-9. This year was a little different. “Well [Central] is obviously in our district and after last year it did feel good to get this one,” said West coach Bill Lech. “We came out in the second half, not really sure how we got there but I’ll take it.” Not knowing how each team got there might be an understatement as the final score was 24-0, but West only lead 2-0 at the half. A high snap over the head of senior quarterback Jaylin Berry that went out of the end zone at the Steelmen oneyard line gave the Tigers an early 2-0 lead. With neither defense budging, the Tigers went into the second quarter with a 2-0 lead. A fumble from junior running back Trent Howland (17 rushes, 128 yards) gave the Steelmen a chance to score off of a costly turnover, but a blocked punt negated that chance. In the second half, the Tigers looked like a completely different team. On the Steelmen one-yard line, a group of Tigers drove senior running

safeties fOr central

back Jayden Perez back into the end zone for a safety, which made the score 4-0 Tigers. The Tigers, on the next drive, got behind Howland who had a 16-yard rushing touchdown to put the Tigers up 11-0 at the 6:54 mark in the third quarter. “I just read the hole and it got cluttered so I decided to bounce it outside,” Howland said. “It was a great block so I just cut it up field broke a tackle and scored.” Because of the wind gusts, the Tigers had great field position on their next drive from a short Steelmen punt, and a two-yard rushing touchdown gave Howland his second score of the day that put the Tigers in a commanding 18-0 lead. “[Howland] is a man,” Lech said. “You get him out into space and he’s a hard one to bring down.” In the final quarter of play, the Tigers defense decided to join the party. A Perez fumble that was picked up and scored on a 27-yard return by senior cornerback Kinsyn Shelby, put the game out of reach at 24-0. “The message at halftime was to make sure that we’re sustaining and engaging in our blocks because we were getting beat across our face,” Lech said. “We talked about the importance of staying on and finishing and that’s just what we did in the second half.”

Men’s bowlers rakned No. 5 in NAIA The 2019-20 University of St. Francis men’s bowling team is now ranked tied for fifth in the latest (Oct. 9) NAIA Men’s Bowling Coaches’ Top 10 Poll, which was released this Thursday (Oct. 10). USF, which was listed fourth in the NAIA’s preseason poll (Sept. 12), totaled 35 points as did Hastings (Neb.). Savannah (Ga.) College of Art and Design (SCAD) maintained its hold on the top placing with 50 points and received five first-place votes. Lawrence Tech (Mich.) and Grand View (Iowa) gained a share of second place by accumulating 45 points apiece while William Penn (Iowa) received a fourth-place 36 points. The national poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the NAIA-affiliated conferences. The Saints, which is coached by seventh-year head coach Tony Talley, made their 2019-20 season debut this past weekend (Oct. 5-6) at the ninth annual Midwest Collegiate Championships in Wauwatosa, Wis., and concluded the twoday tournament with a 20th-place finish out of 40 teams.

WOMEN’S SOCCER Taking full advantage of a strong

southerly wind, Holy Cross College scored three unanswered goals in the second half of its Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference women’s soccer meeting with University of St. Francis to erase a 1-0 halftime deficit and land a 3-1 victory Saturday afternoon at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium. Winds, which ranged from 15to-25 miles per hour throughout the contest with gusts as high as 35 mph, played a big role in the matchup. In fact, between the two teams, only one shot on goal was recorded when the teams went against the wind. For the Saints (3-7, 3-4 CCAC), that was in the second half after taking a 1-0 lead on Isabel Cerda’s (SO/Plainfield, Ill.) unassisted tally at the 25:25 mark. It was her third goal of the season. USF recorded four other shots on goal in the opening 45 minutes, but were denied each time by Holy Cross netminder Chloe Kane. In the second half, Holy Cross (66, 3-4) went right to work when it had the wind at its back, tying the contest at 1-1 on the first of two Lauren Cernak goals three minutes in. Her second goal – the game win-

ner – came just a little over seven minutes later. USF was never able to counter in the closing 45 minutes, failing to put a shot on goal during that time and managing just two shots overall after the break. Holy Cross added an insurance tally in the closing ten seconds to wrap up the match’s scoring. For the contest, Holy Cross totaled 25 shots, 18 of which came in the second half, where the guests also registered nine of their ten shots on goal. St. Francis was held to just nine shots total for the match. Prior to the contest, the program honored its four senior defenders, Brittany Cook (Vicksburg, Mich.), Emily Hartke (Channahon, Ill.), Olivia Hollander (Lakewood, Ill.) and Grace McDermott (Cedar Rapids, Iowa).

MEN’S SOCCER In a match dominated by each team’s goalkeeper, the University of St. Francis men’s soccer team and Holy Cross College were unable to get on the scoreboard in 110 minutes of action this Saturday (Oct. 12) afternoon as the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) match ended in a 0-0 double overtime draw on the ATI Field turf at Joliet Memorial Stadium. The double overtime match represented USF’s third one this season and second scoreless tie as the Fighting Saints have yet to win or lose such a contest this fall. With the result, USF stands at 7-7-3 overall and 4-2-1 in the CCAC for the 2019 campaign as the Fighting Saints are 4-1-1 in their last six contests to date. Holy Cross is now 7-3-2 overall and 3-2-2 in the CCAC this season following the tie. On the day, both teams had ample opportunities throughout to score. USF had a great opportunity to end

the match in the first overtime, but midfielder Mason Messina (SR/ Shorewood, Ill.)’s header at almost point-blank range was denied by HC goalkeeper Lewis Tomlinson at 4:54 into the extra session. Holy Cross almost tallied the match’s first score at the 72nd minute mark in regulation as Axel Valenzuela’s shot hit the crossbar. In the end, USF outshot Holy Cross by a 21-15 margin as the Fighting Saints fired 14 shots on net in the contest while the Saints put 10 shots on the USF goal. Both goalkeepers, Carlos Ferrer Coto (JR/La Fresneda, Spain) of USF and Holy Cross’ Tomlinson made big stops at key times during the match to keep the contest scoreless. Tomlinson stopped all three USF shots on goal in the first overtime while Ferrer Coto saved the lone shot by either team in the second overtime frame. Ferrer Coto (7-3-3) concluded the day with 10 saves in 110 minutes of action while Tomlinson registered 14 saves in also playing the entire match between the posts. Seven different USF players posted at least two shots in the match with midfielder-forward Anthony Marmolejo (FR/Plainfield, Ill.) and forward Kevin Sanchez (SR/Malden, Ill.) totaling four apiece to lead the way. All four of Sanchez’s shots were on the Holy Cross net. Mason Messina along with midfielder Stefan Jakovljevic (JR/ Bregenz, Austria) each generated three shots. Luis Correa-Cabral and Daniely Lynch compiled four total shots for Holy Cross. The four Correa-Cabral shots would all be on the USF goal. USF posted a 9-5 advantage in corner kicks and committed 12 fouls while Holy Cross was assessed 14 infractions.

WOMEN’S GOLF

The University of St. Francis women’s golf team had four individuals place among the top 50 overall as the Saints closed out their fall season by taking eighth place at this weekend’s (Oct. 12-13) TPC Deere Run Collegiate Invitational, which was hosted by William Penn (Iowa) at the par 72, 5,840-yard TPC Deere Run Country Club course. USF shot a first-round 411 total on Saturday (Oct. 12) and then sliced 21 strokes off in Sunday’s (Oct. 13) final round to register a 390 score and concluded the tournament with an 801 team score in the 36-hole event. Host William Penn was crowned tourney champions with a 701 team stroke total in the 12-team field. The Saints were led by Madeline Karlson (SR/New Lenox, Ill.), who fired a 184 (+40) to place in a threeway tie for 16th in the field. She shot a first-round 89 and then tallied a 95 in Sunday’s final 18 holes of action. Kya Kafar (SO/Burlington, Wis.) carded a 200 total (+28) with two identical 100 rounds to finish tied for 36th overall while Erica Long (JR/Lockport, Ill.) registered a 209-stroke output (+65) as a result of 113 and 96 rounds to capture 47th place. Taylor Petz (FR/Bradenton, Fla.) came in tied for 50th overall with a 213 score (+69) as she had a firstround 114-stroke output before carding a 99 score in round two play. Rounding out the scoring for the Saints was Hannah Mastandrea (JR/New Lenox, Ill.), who netted a two-round 215 total (+71) for a 52nd-place tie. Mastandrea shot a 109 first-round score and followed in final-round competition by racking up a 106 tally. William Penn’s Brittany Evans earned individual medalist honors as she generated a two-round 20over par 164 score.

Dave Says: Emergency funds should be kept within reach no spending on anything but bare necessities until your husband finds another good job dear daVe, My husband lost his job last week. The good news is we’re completely debt-free, and we have a six-month emergency fund saved up. I work part-time, since we have young children, and I’ve been bringing home about $800 a month. Should we cut our budget down to bare bones now, or do you think we could continue living as usual for the time being since we have so much money saved?

Jayme dear Jayme, I’m sorry to hear about your hus-

band losing his job. At the same time, I’m really proud of you two for saving and preparing yourselves financially for this kind of scenario. Eight hundred dollars a month isn’t bad for a part-time job, but it’s not nearly enough to run a household — even one that’s debt-free — when there are kids in the picture. You should already be living on a little as possible in order to make the money in your emergency fund last as long as it can. It’s beans and rice time in your house. That means no restaurants, no vacations, and no movies. In other words, no spend-

gency fund. It’s there for times just like these. But be wise, and spend as little as humanly possible. God bless you all!

driving crashes on Halloween night in 2017. “We want our community to have a fun night out on Halloween, but to also stay safe and make responsible choices,” said Chief Al Roechner. “In today’s world, there are many options available to drivers to help them get home safely if they have been drinking. We expect drivers to refrain from driving after drinking,” he said. It is illegal everywhere in America to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher.

Even still, thousands die each year in drunk-driving-related crashes. In 2017, there were 10,874 people killed in drunk-driving crashes. And the costs can be financial, too: If you’re caught drinking and driving, you could face jail time, lose your driver’s license and your vehicle, and pay up to $10,000 in attorney’s fees, fines, car towing and repairs, higher insurance rates, and lost wages. Drunk driving isn’t the only risk on the road: Drug-impaired driving is also an increasing problem on our nation’s roads, for men and for

If you want to call that $12,000 an emergency fund, that’s okay. But if that’s the case, I’d strongly advise cashing out the stock and putting the money in a good, easily accessible money market account — one with check-writing privileges. Stocks are long-term investments. The only purpose of an emergency

fund is to have cash on hand immediately in the event of an emergency. Specifically, an emergency fund is there to cover the unexpected expenses life throws at you from time to time. It’s not an investment, and it’s not designed to replace income. That’s why I believe it’s essential to keep your emergency fund liquid and easy to reach!

telephone threat to clerk s Office results in arrest

On Oct. 10 at 8:30 a.m., an employee from the Will County Clerk’s Office answered an incoming call and spoke to Leonard P.

Detectives then traveled to Feiners’ residence, where they briefly spoke to him and brought him in for questioning. During the interview Feiner made statements that he felt the polling place could easily be changed back simply by changing the address on a computer and that he thought those that he spoke to on the phone were lying to him, which made him angry. Because of statements made during the interview and threats made to county employees, Leonard P. Feiner was arrested for disorderly conduct.

Every year the flu sickens millions of Americans, hospitalizes hundreds of thousands, and kills tens of thousands. Catching the flu can be as easy as standing in line next to someone who has flu symptoms. Fortunately, protecting yourself against the flu is easy. Getting vaccinated is the single best way to prevent getting sick with the flu. To avoid infection, you should also wash your hands frequently and avoid close contact with people who are sick. “Getting sick with the flu may not be that bad for you, but for others, it can mean weeks of illness and in the worst cases, death,” said Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “We have a responsibility to protect those who can’t protect themselves because they are under six months of age or

People who have the flu often feel some or all of the following symptoms: fever or feeling feverish/chills cough runny or stuffy nose muscle or body aches headaches fatigue (tiredness) vomiting and diarrhea (more common in children than adults)

in addition to getting your flu vaccine, idph recommends following the 3 c s: clean, cover, and contain. clean clean your hands frequently by washing your hands with soap and warm water. cover cover your cough and sneeze. contain contain your germs by staying home if you are sick. have chronic health problems like cancer or heart disease. If you get the flu vaccine and don’t get sick, you help protect Illinoisans who are not able to be vaccinated.” Everyone six months of age and older should get the seasonal flu vaccine.
