With each request by Steinmetz, small groups of teens weaved their way through the mass of bodies and joined their peers with similar abilities. Twenty minutes later, The Bridge was a bustling hive, in which the youths made their way through the garments and linens that will be sold at the nonprofit organization’s adjacent thrift store. The teens were at The Bridge the morning of April 22 for Global Youth Service Day, which Bridge program associate Amanda Speakman defined as “the longestrunning, largest youth-led service event in the world.” Millions of teens in more than 100 countries were, during the weekend of April 21-23, reportedly engaged in community service projects, service learning and youth voice activities, all with the purpose of giving back to their respective communities.

FROM THE NEW LENOX PATRIOT Martino, Liberty take part in mock meeting for Student Government Day Students from Martino and Liberty junior high schools assumed the roles of New Lenox officials and Village staff April 24, as they participated in a mock board meeting. It was all part of a threepart exercise coordinated between New Lenox School District 122 and the Village of New Lenox. “It’s something we’ve done for a long time within the community, and it just gives the students a chance to see how local government works and really understand the process in local government,” said Bonnie Groen, principal of Martino. While the actions taken by the board were fake, the discussions were not. Students discussed the idea of hosting a community cleanup day, the need to install a new ice rink and a recent request received by the Village to host a concert for teens.

FROM THE FRANKFORT STATION Police: Terminix truck driver used heroin before crash A man was under the influence of heroin when he crashed a Terminix truck through two storefronts this past week, according to the Will County Sheriff’s Office. Frankfort Fire Protection District officials administered the treatment Narcan to 21-year-old Stephen Dietrich when they responded April 20 to the crash in the 7200 block of West Benton Drive, according to spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer. Dietrich allegedly used heroin before backing out of a driveway on the east side of Harlem Avenue around 10 a.m. His vehicle moved in reverse across the fourlane road, over an embankment and into two parked cars before crashing into the building. Heatwaves Tanning owner Shearin Jurus was standing behind the counter of her salon when she said she saw a flash of white — the truck Dietrich reportedly was driving, crashing into her Ford Expedition, pushing into a Ford Explorer before breaking through her storefront. Dietrich was revived, taken to the hospital and arrested, according to police. Jurus said this incident was the first time she was affected by the opiate epidemic, which killed 96 people in Will County in 2016. Her store was closed for five days during what she said is peak tanning season. Dietrich was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, improper backing up, operating a motor vehicle without a safety certificate and possession of a controlled substance.
