2 QUICK NEWS

They say imitation is thesincerest form of flattery.

Im not so sure about that.In mid-November, I re-

ceived an email from a manin Kentucky saying a womanclaiming to be the editor ofThe Herald-News had tried toconnect with him on Linke-dIn. Several items on thiswomans profile didnt addup, so he checked the websitefor The Herald-News. Hesaw my name as editor andchecked my LinkedIn profile.

It was almost identical,with the exception of thepicture and some of the datesof employment had beenchanged. My time in Wiscon-sin was left out altogether maybe this person doesntlike cheese?

My jobs, degrees andaccolades. She claimed all asher own.

I sent her a messageasking her to remove myexperience from her profile.She replied, said a colleaguegot into her account and wasplaying a prank. The profilewas promptly changed tothe experience and work his-tory of a journalist in Seattle.I let that journalist know,contacted LinkedIn, and theprofile eventually was takendown.

Maybe it was a socialmedia experiment of somesort: The profile only had

eight connections when Ifound out about it, and maybe35 when it was disabled.Maybe the person behind itwanted to see if connectionswould actually fact-check theprofile as its pretty obvioussomeone in Tennessee likelywouldnt be working full-time in Illinois or whetheradding another connection toa profile was more important.

I wont lie, I had some-thing akin to a field daywriting messages to thisperson (can I be sure it was awoman?) asking him or her tostop these shenanigans.

But it was disconcertingto see someone else claimingmy accomplishments as herown. It wouldnt be the firsttime Ive clung to perhaps alittle bit of naivet, but itsdisappointing to realize welive in a society where peoplefeel they can steal the life ofanother.

Thankfully, the man fromKentucky who brought thisodd situation to my attentionrestored some faith that thereare people out there willing todo the right thing.

3COVER STORY

ByVIKAAS [email protected]

PLAINFIELD The lawnoutside the PlainfieldCentral High School au-ditorium provided the back-drop Friday for a skirmishre-enactment between WorldWar II era troops.

Five American soldierswalked up to where studentswere watching the battlewhen three German soldiersambushed them from behindmakeshift wooden fences anda tree.

The Americans droppedand started firing back, eachsoldier emptying whole clipsat a time while using theground and bean bags ascover. Sound from the roundsof blanks resonated off theschool.

The Americans killedthe three German soldierswithout any losses andchecked the bodies for loot.

After the battle, re-enactorEric Percy explained how theAmerican soldiers employedWorld War II strategies likespray and prey, where theykeep shooting at the targetuntil the enemy comes outand gets hit. They also usedtheir superiority in numbersand quality of rifles to win.

Several different battlescenes like this were stagedduring each school period byPercy, a Plainfield Centralgraduate, and a group ofWorld War II enthusiasts,who also shared interestingfacts and displayed WorldWar II items for the students.

Dec. 7 is the 73rd anniver-sary of the attack on PearlHarbor. With declining num-bers of World War II veteransto give first-hand accountsof the war, Percy said it hasbecome increasingly import-ant to pass on the history toyounger generations.

The history has got tokeep going, he said. I hada lot of access to veterans ofthe war growing up. But for

these students, maybe theirgreat-grandfather was in thewar.

Student discoveryHistory teacher Nicole Ko-

lenos sophomore U.S. historyclass saw the re-enactmentduring third period.

Sophomore Susan Kulasikhas been interested in WorldWar II history, but she stilllearned some new informa-tion, including the miscon-ception that the Germanarmy was fully mechanizedin the war.

I didnt know the Ger-mans used horses more thantheir tanks, she said. TheAmerican army was moremodernized. Seeing all the old

stuff was good too.Sophomore Alyssa Diaz

said she liked the historicalre-enactment, and it gave hera new perspective on howsoldiers lived in those times.

The stuff that they wentthrough, its filthy, Diazsaid, adding that she is tryingto find out more about agreat-grandmother, or great-great-grandmother, who wasa nurse in the war.

As the students went onthe auditorium stage to seeWorld War II artifacts andreplicas, Koleno remindedthem to take some photos fortheir historical scrapbookproject.

Officials check alleged dumping site

By VIKAAS [email protected]

PLAINFIELD Govern-ment authorities were on theHerman Fritz farm in Plain-field on Friday looking for evi-dence of illegal dumping.

Representatives from theWill County Land Use Depart-ment and Plainfield policewere conducting an investiga-tion for the Illinois Environ-mental Protection Agency.

The land use department,acting as the local arm of theIEPA, dug for evidence of ille-gal dumping around the bankof the DuPage River, whichborders the southern edge ofthe farm, Will County statesattorney spokesman CharlesPelkie said.

A land use department offi-cial referred questions to Pel-kie.

Fritz has been accused of al-lowing the dumping of materi-als into the DuPage River andalong the riverbank.

On Nov. 20, the Will CountyStates Attorneys Office filedan emergency motion in courtordering Fritz to stop dumpingor allowing the dumping of anymaterials. That night, a CBSinvestigative report broke thestory of the dumping.

Pelkie said the officials ob-

tained a warrant to search thefarm, which is private proper-ty, to determine what may ormay not have been dumped onthe property.

The results of the investi-gation werent immediatelyavailable. Calls to Fritz werenot returned Friday.

The allegations againstFritz claim he allowed peopleto dump piles of garbage, rang-ing from plastic bags to tires,on his land along the DuPageRiver.

He then allegedly let a con-struction company pile con-crete construction waste on

the garbage, and then coveredmany of the piles with dirt.

Unincorporated PlainfieldTownship resident Chris Jen-kins, who contacted severalenvironmental agencies andhelped break the story, tookphotos and video of severalinstances when the dumping

occurred.That documentation in-

cludes times when garbagewas pushed into the river.

Fritz was summoned tothe Will County Circuit Courton Nov. 21 in relation to thedumping. His next court dateis scheduled for Dec. 23.

Minooka schools consider longer lunch for kids

By SANDY ILLIAN BOSCHShaw Media correspondent

MINOOKA When herdaughters lunch came backfrom school half eaten, Kris-tin Rhoads just assumed she

wasnt hungry.Ignorance is totally bliss

sometimes, said Rhoads, whosince has learned that a lackof time, rather than a lack ofappetite, was to blame forher first-grader forgoing her

lunch.Students at Minooka Com-

munity Consolidated SchoolDistrict 201s four elementaryschools are allowed a 35-min-ute midday break. During thattime, the students use the re-

stroom, eat their lunch and gooutside for recess. This timeof year, that 35 minutes alsomust include time to bundleup in coats and hats.

Some parents have report-ed their children routinelyeat lunch in full outdoor gear,to allow them to hit the play-ground immediately after

eating. While dining in par-kas isnt required at any ofthe schools, it appears to be awidely practiced routine, es-pecially among the youngeststudents.

JOLIET A Joliet res-ident says she is asking astate agency to investigatewhether a city commissionsmeeting on the Rialto SquareTheatre marquee violated thestates OpenMeetings Act.

Candace Johnson said shesent a formal request to the Il-linois Attorney Generals Of-fice to determine whether theHistoric Preservation Com-mission violated the IllinoisOpenMeetings Act.

Kevin Heinemann, thecommissions chairman, saidno violation has occurred.

The request comes afteran online uproar over the de-sign of the future Rialto mar-quee, publicly unveiled Nov.24. Many residents have ex-pressed dissatisfaction withthe new look and thoughtthere should have been an op-portunity for public input.

In 2007, the design of themarquee was unanimous-

ly approved by the RialtoSquare Theatres governingboard, theWill CountyMetro-politan Exposition and Audi-torium Authority. Once the-ater staff found a donor whowould pay for construction,they sought and receivedunanimous approval in re-cent months from the JolietHistoric Preservation Com-mission and the citys ZoningBoard of Appeals.

However, Johnson wrotein a letter dated Thursdayand addressed to theAttorneyGenerals Office she could notfind an agenda for the Histor-ic Preservation Commissiononline for the Sept. 24 meet-ing, where replacement of themarquee was discussed. Norwere minutes of the meetingposted electronically, shewrote.

She wrote the date of themeetingwas available by fol-lowing a counter-intuitivelink, but not on the commis-sions website. Johnson alsowrote there was no agenda or

meeting description postedon the bulletin board at CityHall.

They said they had anopen meeting regardingchanges to the marquee. Ifpeople cant find the agendasof the meeting, then how arethey supposed to show up?Johnson said Friday.

Its all under the tableand hidden at this point, shelater added. I dont thinkthats fair to the Joliet resi-dents at all.

Heinemann said it washis understanding that theagenda, minutes and sched-ule of meetings didnt haveto be posted online becausethe commission doesnt havea full-time webmaster. All ofthat information is availableat City Hall, he said.

He said there was no vio-lation of the Open MeetingsAct.

Absolutely not. We wantpeople at our meetings.

Plainfields Park Truth to receive service awardBy VIKAAS [email protected]

PLAINFIELD A loose-ly connected group of con-cerned citizens who helpedbring change to the PlainfieldTownship Park District haswon a civil service award.

The Citizen Advocacy Cen-ter will honor Park Truthwith its 2014 Citizen InitiativeAward, along with three oth-

er recipients, on Tuesday inElmhurst.

The award recognizes lo-cal community activists whoare catalysts for democraticparticipation and have usedcivic, legal and community or-ganizing tools to advocate fora self-identified issue of publicconcern.

Were very excited, saidMichelle Kelly, a Park Truthorganizer and former Plain-

field park board president.Its an amazing thing wherewe are today [with the parkdistrict].

Plainfield residents formedPark Truth after the spring2013 elections.

The group raised questionsabout actions being taken bya new majority on the board,including the hiring of Gar-rett Peck, a Plainfield villagetrustee and business owner

with no professional park ex-perience, as executive direc-tor.

Peck made several deci-sions that added fuel to theflame, including outsourcingthe planning department.Park Truth members spreadinformation about the parkdistrict and called for parkcommissioners to resign.

Peck resigned on Jan. 23,and state legislators eventual-

ly enacted legislation that ex-panded the park district fromfive to seven commissioners,diluting the majority.

Nobody wanted to bePark Truth, Kelly said. Ithink the bigger story is thatthe community can have apositive effect.

The awards ceremony willbe at 7 p.m. at Cafe Amano, 116E. Schiller St. in Elmhurst. Toattend, call 630-833-4080.

JOLIET I believe Fridaymarked the first time Id beeninside a junior high schoolsince I was a junior highschool student.

When I agreed to bePrincipal For The Day atDirksen Junior High School,I wondered what had changedin the past 25 years and whathad stayed the same.

After introductions,Principal Rolland Jasper andI sat in on a planning sessionfor eighth-grade teachers toformulate their lesson plansand projects for the upcomingweek.

As a student I alwayssuspected teachers used anyperiods where they didnthave classes to smoke andread. Instead, everythingfrom locker clean-out times(next Wednesday) to whethertherell be Q and A duringscience fair project presenta-tions was coordinated.

Attendance seems to bemore discussed nowadays.

Theres a correlation betweenjust being present and highschool performance, Jasperexplained.

The band room was sur-prisingly quiet because allof the students were playingkeyboards and wearing head-phones.

Students were playingcards when I walked intoBeth Boezemans math class,which brought back a lotof memories of Fridays injunior high.

It turned out they wereplaying Integer War withreds being negative numbers.

The health students weretaking a test on the human re-productive systems. At leastthe proper terms haventchanged.

Erin Dooley had her

students studying character-istics of courage with a lessoncomparing Martin LutherKing Jr. and Mahatma Gand-hi to fictional characters.When Dooley told me herstudents also will listen to thecleaned-up version of Emi-nems Lose Yourself, whichtalks about overcoming fear,I felt old.

I finished with a visit toJessica Tupys language artsclass where theyre studyingusing different sources of in-formation to write somethinginteresting and accurate. Inother words journalism.

The kids questions includ-ed my shoe size and favoritesport, but they also askedmy advice when informationfrom one source contradictsanother and how to keeppersonal bias out of objectivereporting. I hope my recom-mendations didnt completelygo against Tupys lesson plan.

In the time I spent withJasper, I realized its not

the names of the standoutstudents the principal knowsright away, its the ones whocome across his desk forother reasons. But while oneor two students may havebeen trying to sleep in a class,there were another 20 payingattention and trying to learn.

One of the students askedme what Id thought when Iwas their age about doing atmy current age. I rememberthinking adulthood seemedsuch a long time off and Ihad time to figure out what Iwould do. Strangely, I told thestudents, life developed muchmore chaotically, but thingssomehow feel more natural.

The other thing I tookaway from being PrincipalFor The Day was while Imsure I talked to popular kids,unpopular kids, good stu-dents and bad, I didnt noticemuch difference. I believethey all have potential.

It was nice to go back andbe reminded of that.

Will County CEDmeets for annual reportBy FELIX SARVER

[email protected]

JOLIET Will CountyCenter for Economic Devel-opment plans to continue topush for important projectsfor the county as the econo-my slowly recovers from arecession.

At Fridays Annual Reportto Investors, John Greuling,CED president and chief ex-ecutive officer, said the CEDwill continue to work on thedevelopment of the Iliana Ex-pressway and South Subur-ban Airport projects, amongothers, for Will County.

They represent such ahuge stake in our economicfuture. If you look at thosetwo projects combined andnot five or seven or 10 yearsfrom now but 50 years fromnow, what those projects willmean to the entire Chicagoregion in terms of maintain-ing its status as a global cen-ter of commerce, Greulingsaid.

The Annual Report to In-vestors was an opportunityfor business and community

leaders, alongwith electedo f f i c i a l s , t oreview the ac-complishmentsof the Centerfor EconomicDevelopmentand what liesahead for theroughly 30-year-old organiza-tion.

TheCEDhasbeen involvedin various projects over theyears, such as the Interstate355 Extension, interchangesat Weber and Houbolt roadsand the redevelopment ofthe Joliet Arsenal. The CEDhas been focused on bringingmore industry to Will Countysuch as health care, energy,food processing, manufactur-ing and logistics.

Will County continues tosee economic improvement,according to the CED. The un-employment rate dropped to5.8 percent this year, a low notseen since 2008when the reces-sion hit the U.S. The countyhas also seen more than 8,200new jobs created, a 30 percentincrease over last year.

Industrial developmenthas accelerated this yearwith more than 80 new busi-ness prospects, 54 new in-dustrial/logistics locationsand 12.7 million square feetof industrial space occupied,according to the CED.

Richard Longworths key-note speech at the event high-lighted his past research onhow globalization impactedthe Midwest region. He saidthere was a flight of heavy in-

dustry and hollowing out ofcities. While the economy isnow recovering from a reces-sion, the challenges of global-ization remain, he said.

There is a new atmo-sphere out there today a newreaction, Longworth said.Denial is out. Everybody re-alizes this time is really dif-ferent that were living in anew global economy and wehave to find our place in it.

He said Joliet and Will

County have been followingthe steps of areas that trans-form themselves by under-standing they are part of theglobal economy and bringingin quality local leadership.

Youre targeting indus-tries of the future and theworkforce of the future,Longworth said. Youre fo-cusing especially on how thisfuture can benefit all of thepeople and all of the workersin Joliet and Will County.

The Holiday Season is a magical and festive time of the year for many people. Days are filled withdecorating homes, baking, shopping, holiday parties and so much more. However, for a senior citizen,it could be a time of loneliness, especially for those who have lost their loved ones, their driving abilities,or those who suffer from physical limitations.

Willow Falls is a great place for those seniors to be, especially during the holidayswith visits from schoolchildren, carolers and choirs, crafts, special meals and holiday parties. Even when the holidays are over,there are plenty of activities to choose from on a daily basis.

We encourage you to come and tour, have lunch, or stay for an activity. If you would like more information,please call 815-725-5868

JOLIET Residents planto push for expanding thecitys neighborhood policeteam when the City Councilmeets for a budget sessionMonday.

The proposed budget doesnot include more officers forneighborhood police. But atleast a couple ofneighborhoodleaders hope residents canmake the same case they didin 2012, when an outcry fromcommunity groups broughtback the neighborhood policeprogram after it was eliminat-ed through budget cuts.

Thats what turned itaround, said John Sheridanwith the Cunningham Neigh-borhood Association. Theyfinally listened.

The city has 11 police offi-cers dedicated to the Neigh-

borhood Oriented PolicingTeam. Thats half the numberthat was in NOPT before bud-get cuts were initiated duringthe recession.

Both Sheridan and Geor-gene Williams, who is withboth the Cunningham and St.Johns neighborhood associ-ations, said they want NOPTrestored to its pre-recessionlevel.

We just feel that theyneedto give more in the budget tothe police department, Wil-liams said.

Both Sheridan and Wil-liams said they plan to be atthe budget meeting at 5:30p.m. Monday at Joliet CityHall to make a case for moreneighborhood police.

The program dedicatesspecific officers to certainneighborhoods to get closerwith the community and be-come more familiar with its

problems. Its popularity wasevident in 2012, when neigh-borhood groups from acrossJoliet showed up at a CityCouncil meeting to demandthe program return.

The city added moneyin the 2013 budget to hire 10more police officers for theprogram.

City Manager Jim Hocksaid he turned down a requestfrom the police chief for threemore police officers dedicatedto neighborhood policing in2015. The budget includes onenew training sergeant for thepolice.

But Hock said Joliet isdealing with multiple needs,including having no one in itsworkforce to trim low-hang-ing branches that can becomehazards on streets and side-walks.

Police Chief Ben Bentonsaid he had hoped to addneighborhood police officersto the Louis Joliet Mall areaand the far West Side. He also

would put a second NOPTofficer in the neighborhoodaround Second and Richardsstreets.

The $279 million budgetdoes not include new taxesand fees.

Mayor TomGiarrante saidadvocates for more policeneed to suggest ways to raisemore revenue or propose cutselsewhere in the budget.

Money, Giarrante said.Its as simple as that. If youwant to hire more police offi-cers, tell us where youre go-ing to get the money.
