Chicago blues band Mississippi Heat to play Jan. 20 on Festival 56 stage

PRINCETON — Chicago blues band Mississippi Heat will return to the Festival 56 stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20. Led by harmonica master and songwriter Pierre Lacocque, Mississippi Heat is famous for its fresh yet vintage-based musical ideas. The band’s motto is “Traditional Blues with a Unique Sound.” Mississippi Heat’s name is a reflection of Lacocque’s reverence for Mississippi’s blues culture and music. The band’s conviction is that there is no deeper music than Delta-inspired blues to express what lies in everyone’s soul. The blues group has received worldwide critical acclaim, including accolades from Living Blues magazine: “Mississippi Heat delivers its traditional urban blues with a freshness, energy and competence that makes them a treasure on today’s Chicago scene.” Mississippi Heat is known internationally for its passionate blues delivery. Overseas and national touring have been an integral part of the band’s work for decades. Mississippi Heat has appeared at

PRINCETON — Singer-songwriter Michael McDermott, joined by his wife, Heather Horton, will perform at the Princeton Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 27. McDermott, an Orland Park native, burst onto the folk rock scene in 1991 with the release of his first album, “620 W. Surf” (his address at the time in Chicago). Hailed as Rock’s “Next Big Thing,” he was touted by MTV, Rolling Stone, The New York Times and even author Stephen King who declared that McDermott was “possibly the greatest undiscovered rock n roll talent of the last 20 years.” Despite this auspicious start, McDermott’s career foundered over the next couple of decades, as did his personal life. While continuing to release good material, he struggled with sustaining his early fame and with alcohol and drugs. In 2009, his life changed dramatically and happily when he married Horton, a singer, songwriter and fiddler in her own right. The next year their daughter Rain was born. Gaining sobriety and starting a family marked a new chapter in his life and career. McDermott’s most recent album, “Willow Springs,” released in 2016, is named for the small town where he and

SPRING VALLEY

St. Bede, Hall students compete to help fight hunger Can-do spirit raises over 8,000 canned goods SPRING VALLEY — The Hall Township Food Pantry had the deck (or cans, in this case) stacked in its favor last week. More than 8,000 canned goods that were used in a can-stacking design competition between Hall High School and St. Bede Academy on Jan. 5 were donated to the food pantry. Students from each school who participated in the “Can” Do Good Competition designed their school’s mascot and stacked cans over a period of six hours before the Hall-St. Bede basketball game that Friday night at Hall. Community members then voted for the best can sculpture through financial donations that, along with the canned food, were given to the food pantry. The event also raised awareness of hunger in the community. At St. Bede, students, faculty and staff all got into the act.

LEFT: Hall High School students (front row) Edith Gutierrez, Hallee Heredia, Hannah Parente and McKenzie Delaney; and (back row) Brian Fuentes, Matt Briddick, Cassidy Jablonski, Lauren Bulak, Carlo Gutierrez and Gia Pozzi, worked on a can-stacking project that ultimately benefited the Hall Township Food Pantry. RIGHT: Posing with stacked cans of food that depict a St. Bede Bruin mascot logo are (from left) Jacob Theesfeld, Rick Fess, Bradley Beckendorf, Frederick Fess, Katrina Ramer, Madeline Vaessen, Fr. Ronald Margherio and Bailey Hamer. Fr. Ronald Margherio, St. Bede chaplain, spearheaded the idea and took to Facebook to ask for can donations. “It was important to let people know that specific cans were needed to complete our design, and I felt the more cans we collected before Christmas break, the better off we’d be,” Margherio said. Faculty members Rich Cummings, Colleen Cox and Rick Fess put their heads together to help

with the mathematical model concepts, structural methods and construction, which resulted in a design that required more than 4,200 cans. Early on, students Bailey Hamer, Katrina Ramer and Madeline Vaessen studied the design and worked out structural concerns. There were a few “practice” meetings where students organized the cans into the following categories — color, brand and “unstackable.”

The students also practiced stacking the cans to make sure everything they had worked out on paper would actually allow them to stack the cans eight feet high without falling. To meet the requirements for the competition, both schools had six hours to use the cans to construct their mascot in a 10-by-10-foot square with the structural measurements being eight feet tall, 10 feet wide and

six feet deep. In addition to cans, they were also allowed to use tape, wire and cardboard (in between the cans) for support. The can structures were judged on the following characteristics: structural ingenuity and crowd favorite. St. Bede won the competition and took home both trophies. The full crew of St. Bede students who helped consisted of Bailey Hamer,

Katrina Ramer, Madeline Vaessen, Owen Epsel, Bradley Beckendorf, Frederick Fess, Harrison Fess, Jacob Theesfeld, Jordan Kramel, Paige Kramel, Isaac Janssen, Levi Bland and Logan Griggs. Among the Hall students involved were Edith Gutierrez, Hallee Heredia, Hannah Parente, McKenzie Delaney, Brian Fuentes, Matt Briddick, Cassidy Jablonski, Lauren Bulak, Carlo Gutierrez and Gia Pozzi.
