Older generations share interest in model trains with children

State Journal-Register, The (Springfield, IL) - Monday, November 30, 2009

Author/Byline: RHYS SAUNDERS, THE STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER Section: homepage

Elijah Jones peered over the edge of a model train layout, reaching toward the foam mountain where a locomotive had just disappeared into a tunnel. The three-dimensional layout detailed to look like a desert landscape - complete with cattle, cacti, a western town and two trains traveling in opposite directions - captivated the 3-year-old Springfield resident at the annual railroad swap meet held Sunday at the Sangamon County Fairgrounds in New Berlin. More than 100 tables, selling everything near and dear to the train collector's heart, were featured at the five-and-a-half-hour event. And many of those model railroad enthusiasts who brought collectibles to buy and sell say their love for the hobby began when they were about Elijah's age. "I've had trains since I was five years old," said Frank Herman, 79, of Springfield. "You can have it as toy-like or realistic as you want it. I don't know what it is that makes it fascinating." Herman's booth featured two five-piece model train sets dating to the 1930s and selling for approximately $275 each. "I probably got them at one of these swap meets," he said. "Sometimes in magazines you'll see an ad, something that interests you." Others, like Joe Maggio , a member of the Sangamon County Central Railroad Club, said it's a chance for an older generation to share its love of model trains with younger children. "I think it's something you never grow out of," he said. "It's just a fascination that we all have with trains. We have to get the younger kids involved, or this hobby will die out when we start dying off." An official attendance count was not available Sunday, but Maggio said there was a mailing list of more than 600 people. Although most vendors were from the Springfield area, the swap meet drew model-train enthusiasts from as far as Missouri, Iowa and Indiana. And most vendors also are operators, meaning they have functioning model railroads on personalized three-dimensional layouts, he said. Often the swap meets provide the model train collectors a chance to sell their duplicates. Trains and accessories available were categorized by scale, from larger, G-scale trains to smaller trains that are O, S, HO and N scale. One attendee, Art Wiseman, 74, of Athens said it can take months to put the working displays together, but in the end, it's worth it. "It helps the kids realize trains are interesting," he said.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOD? / Sacred Heart-Griffin fans bond over pre-game feasts

State Journal-Register, The (Springfield, IL) - Sunday, October 12, 2003

Author/Byline: KATHRYN REM Staff Writer Section: SUNDAYAM Page: 13

Although it's common practice for fans to feast on brats and barbecue in stadium parking lots before pro and college football games, tailgating hasn't been a part of game day at most high school competitions. But that's changing. At Springfield's Sacred Heart-Griffin High School, parents and supporters of the state-ranked Cyclones plan their pre-game galas - down to each menu item for home and road games - before the season ever begins. "It started out as a way to make money for the football team," said Gary Nevins, who heads the Tailgaters Association, a group of SHG gridiron regulars who arrive about an hour before each game to share a meal and chat with friends. "Now it seems to be getting bigger every season." The Tailgaters Association, an informal group not officially affiliated with the Catholic school, was started four years ago by Rob Miller when his son Justin played for the Cyclones. "There were eight or nine couples who we were close to, and we talked about getting together before the games. I bought a tent and assigned people to do the cooking. Then we put out a coffee can for donations and other people started pitching in," said Miller, a sales manager for phone book publisher DonTech. "Every week, more and more people started coming and soon we raised enough money for the tunnel," he said, referring to the 20-foot portable black entrance tunnel through which the Cyclones take the field when playing home games at Memorial Stadium. Corporate sponsors helped raise the $3,700 price of the tunnel. "We didn't start the group to make money, but if we do, we put it back into the team," said Miller. Donations are used to rent a storage shed for the tunnel, purchase paper goods and extra food for the meals and feed the cheerleaders and pom squad before the games. It's believed that American tailgating began in the 19th century, when fans who traveled long distances to football games took to cooking near their carriages out of necessity. Its popularity took a leap in the late 1970s when college alumni hosted parking-lot parties as a way to socialize with old friends. National Football League fans embraced the concept, as did major companies like Coca-Cola, Masterfoods USA (M&M's, Snickers), Sara Lee and Jack Daniels, which reach millions of Americans with tailgating-themed advertising and promotions. At last weekend's game against the Lanphier Lions, about 250 SHG tailgaters dined on a menu of mostaccioli, sloppy joes, sausage and sauerkraut, meatball sandwiches, chili, baked beans, potato chips, cookies, cupcakes and soft drinks. On other days, entrees have included fried chicken, red beans and rice, shredded pork, barbecued beef, ham and beans, jambalaya, deep-fried turkeys and linguine with clams. "Each entree feeds 40 to 50 people," said Nevins, a manager at parking lot management company System Parking Inc. "People often bring food that we didn't anticipate. We don't refuse anything." Prior to the start of the football season, the tailgaters meet to plan their activities. A sign-up sheet is posted; volunteers fill in game dates with the foods they plan to provide. "Some people bring food; some throw a few coins in the can," said Nevins. "Everyone is welcome to come and pick up a plate. There is no real membership and no dues." Most of the tailgaters prepare the food at home, but some fire up in the parking lot. Joe Maggio and Henry Manci are among a group of alumni who occasionally haul a Weber grill and roasters to the stadium to cook up some on-site Italian sausage. "Not just any sausage will do," said Maggio, who buys it at a meat shop in the Chicago area. "It's the best there is. I took vacation time to go up there and get it." The buddies arrive about four hours before the game to cook the sausage with green peppers, onions and red sauce. High school tailgating is becoming more popular, said P.J. O'Neil, vice president of sales and marketing for Chicago-based American Tailgater Co. (www.americantailgater.com), a firm that sells tailgating supplies and equipment. "Usually you see it in areas where teams travel hundreds of miles for Friday-night games, places like Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma." He added that tailgating has branched out beyond football. Some baseball stadiums - including U.S. Cellular Field, home of the White Sox - allow it, as do facilities that host events such as NASCAR races and figure skating and Little League finals. O'Neil estimates that more than 20 million Americans tailgate at least once a year. A survey sponsored by Ragu found that more than half prefer the party to the actual game. "It's getting a little more notoriety because a lot of companies are beginning to recognize tailgating as a marketing tool. Companies want products associated with an activity that is fun. You never hear about people going to a bad tailgating party," said O'Neil about the increasing number of businesses that sponsor pre-game bashes. His company sells football-shaped grills, one-minute beverage coolers, beer-can chicken racks, Buffalo wing pots, team-logo steak branding irons, turkey fryers, college team flags, portable toilets, two-way radios, pickup truck dog ramps, NFL logo flasks and helmet-shaped snack bowls. The $6,000 "ultimate tailgating system" includes a 50,000 BTU Ducane gas grill, refrigerator, freezer, stainless steel sink, city hose connection and hand pump, locking drawers, food prep area, patio umbrella, electric lift system and power inverter to accommodate a slow cooker, blender and TV. You can save $200 if you choose the model with only one, instead of two, beer taps. "There's a very large competition between tailgaters," said O'Neil. "We see people who have been tailgating next to each other for 20 years and everyone wants to one-up each other. If one guy has a blender, the next guy has a gas-powered blender." The Sacred Heart-Griffin tailgate parties are more about connecting with friends and alumni. "There's something about SHG football that brings people together. It's a long tradition," said Michele Nevins, who helps her husband, Gary, with the Tailgaters Association. The couple's son A.J., now at Lincoln Land Community College, played for the Cyclones; their son, Tony, is on the roster now. Daughter Cristina, an eighth-grader at Little Flower School who will be an SHG freshman next year, helps her parents set up the tables, tent and school flag before each game. After the meal, she hauls the black-and-gold flag into the stadium so the team can carry it onto the field. Michele Nevins, a graduate of Sacred Heart Academy with brothers who played football for Griffin High School, didn't attend her alma mater's games after graduation until 1995. "It was like old home week. It was so much fun seeing everyone again." She couldn't get her husband, a graduate of Springfield High School, to attend the games until A.J. started playing. "He didn't convert till the last possible moment," said Michele, who works for the Illinois Department of Public Aid. Tailgating regulars include parents of students and graduates, alumni and people who simply enjoy SHG football. "Everyone likes a winner, and at Sacred Heart-Griffin, they expect to win," said tailgater Terry Montalbano, a Southeast grad whose daughter went to SHG. "Most games we go to on the road, we have a bigger crowd than the home team." Said Manci: "When we went to school at Griffin, it was all guys and we've kept up those friendships for 30 and 40 years. Tailgating has given me a chance to meet people who were there before me and after me." Karen Sronce is new to SHG tailgating. Her son John, a Cyclones player, transferred to the school this year from Springfield High. "There was a dinner for varsity moms and there was a (tailgate party) sign-up sheet. I'm sitting there in total awe by the number of mothers there. The amount of parental involvement at this school is amazing. I was an outsider, but they were so welcoming." Like other parents of players, she wears a big button with a color photo of her son in uniform to the tailgating party and game. "About 10 percent of the SHG people who go to the games are in the parking lot with us," said Gary Nevins. "It's turned into quite an extravaganza."

The menu included mostaccioli, sloppy joes, sausages and sauerkraut, meatball sandwiches, chili, baked beans, potato chips, cookies, cupcakes and soft drinks (top of page).

MINI-JACKPOTS AWAIT SOME STATE RETIREES

State Journal-Register, The (Springfield, IL) - Saturday, May 7, 1994

Author/Byline: DAVID HOWELL STAFF WRITER Edition: M1,M2 Section: LOCAL Page: 1

Some former state workers may be sitting on a nest egg -- and not even know it. The State Employees Retirement System of Illinois wants thousands of ex-state workers to know they have mini-jackpots just waiting to be claimed. About 5,000 former state employees are entitled to between $5 and thousands of dollars that now is sitting unclaimed in the 50-year-old state pension fund,

said Joe Maggio ,

manager of the services and refunds division of the state employee retirement system. "These are people who have moved over the years and haven't told us their change of address," Maggio said. "(Other) people didn't realize the money was coming out of their paychecks, I guess." So now the state is trying hard to locate such people and hand out the cash, according to Maggio, who first hatched the idea to track down people two or three years ago. After looking at similar programs in Alaska and Indiana, he decided to recommend introducing a similar plan in Illinois this year. Co-workers, friends and relatives are being urged to contact the retirement system if they know the whereabouts of the 880 people who are owed more than $100 each. Their names have been published in two agency newsletters. A January newsletter for retired employees and an April newsletter for active employees both contained pages titled "Do you know where they are?" Any state worker who is over the age of 60 and served the state for at least eight years is eligible for a pension, Maggio said. At present, Illinois has nearly 80,000 state workers. They tend to be more aware and informed about benefits than some of their predecessors, he said. So far, the agency has received 60 responses to names on the lists, and some people have already been sent their money, according to Maggio. The agency hasn't received many hoax callers, although a few people with common names, "like John Smith," have made bogus inquiries. "We're careful to make sure the real people get the money," Maggio said. "Anything we find is gravy. We're not spending a lot of money (to trace ex-workers), but we're still finding people." Locating people after making arduous checks with credit bureaus, the secretary of state's office, the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration can be hard work, but it's good when it pays off, he added. "I ran down one guy who is a priest and he was in a monastery somewhere," said Maggio, who's been with the retirement system since 1977. Although the majority of missing recipients still live in Illinois, some on the list have ended up a long way from the Prairie State. "One woman is now living in Australia," Maggio said. Others have been tracked down in Alaska, California, Florida, Texas, Arizona and North Carolina. There's even one ex-state worker living in the nation's gambling mecca, Las Vegas. "He could probably use the (money)," Maggio said with a chuckle. How do people react when told they've got unexpected money coming to them? "Some people are really happy, and they think they're going to win thousands of dollars," Maggio said. "But it's usually smaller amounts. Sometimes they say `I don't want (the money), it's not worth it.' But most are genuinely appreciative." Any eligible recipients should get in touch quickly, Maggio warned, because future federal regulations may require former state workers who are now over the age of 70 to pay half their unclaimed pension money to Uncle Sam. And that's never good news.

GRIFFIN ARMS ITSELF FOR TITLE DEFENSE

State Journal-Register, The (Springfield, IL) - Thursday, June 9, 1988

En route to the Class AA state baseball championship last year, Griffin High School relied on the one-two pitching punch of seniors Jeff Borski and Tim Hull. As they prepare for a repeat appearance at Lanphier Park, the Cyclones don't have such a Big Two, but Coach Ron Wojcicki isn't fretting. "Last year, it was pretty much a case of us going as far as Jeff and Timmy could take us," said Wojcicki. "We don't have anybody of their caliber this year, but I think we have more people who can throw. We've been going with whoever's hot." Griffin certainly has gotten hot at the right time. The Cyclones entered last year's tourney at 33-4. Today, they'll take a 20-19 mark into an 11:30 a.m. quarterfinal against Chicago Marist (31-8). Griffin ended its regular season with six straight losses -- four coming to Joliet Catholic. In fact, Griffin enters with the second-most losses by a quarterfinalist. In 1982, Edwardsville finished 23-24. In 1981, Chicago Brother Rice was 32-17 in finishing second. But the Cyclones have allowed just 10 runs in their five post-season games. That's Wojcicki's main reason for optimism. "Our pitching has been outstanding," said Wojcicki, in his third year as head coach. "If you can hold your opponent to two runs, you know you're going to be in the game. That's all we look for." Wojcicki will look for more of the same today from junior right-hander Chris Stapleton (2-5). Marist Coach Don Kuehner said his likely starter will be senior left-hander Frank Vlk (9-2). Vlk is one of three lefties in Marist's rotation. Stapleton, a hard thrower, was winless in the regular season with a couple of tough-luck losses along the way. But he has won two tournament contests and has a 3.72 earned-run average over 53 innings, with 73 strikeouts 48 walks. If Stapleton would falter, it would be sophomore J.J. Borski out of the bullpen. In the Cyclones' five tourney games, Borski has saved three and won one. For the year, he carries a 1.81 ERA with 30 strikeouts and 15 walks in 39 innings. Senior right-hander Dave Saladino (5-4) got the complete-game victory Monday against Lincoln in the Springfield Sectional. "You knew whoever threw Monday wouldn't throw Thursday," Wojcicki said. "Saladino gave us a big lift Monday, and I think it helped his confidence." While Stapleton, Saladino and Borski have formed Griffin's post-season staff, Wojcicki sees several others with a chance for tournament work. Among them is junior right-hander Craig Jones, who worked three innings of relief in last year's quarterfinal win over Chicago Vocational. "We haven't used Jones in post-season, but we're confident enough in him from last year," Wojcicki said. "We'd have no problem pitching him. We haven't thrown (senior right-hander) Dan Patterson in a while, or (senior left-hander) Jeff Sauer ." Offensively, Griffin has had various post-season heroes. Leadoff man Terry Williams drove in the game winner in the regional opener against Chatham Glenwood and belted a two-run homer in the sectional win over Normal. And against Lincoln, No. 6 man Brad Rotherham went 3-for-3 while No. 7 man Greg Bernet delivered a key bases-loaded triple. In defeating the Railers, the Cyclones' top three batters went hitless. The bottom six combined for nine hits. "If you'd told me that was going to happen, I would've said our chances would've been pretty slim," Wojcicki said. "But the bottom of our lineup came through. We don't rely on that one person." Only a few Cyclones saw substantial action on last year's state championship team: Williams, second baseman Dennis Kracik and catcher Jeff Swaney. That, combined with an up-and-down regular season, casts the Cylcones as a heavy underdogs -- just as theywere in the regional and sectional. "Oh, sure, we're the underdog," Wojcicki said. "You look at our record and everything else. But we don't feel any pressure at all. You hear people say, `It's great just to be here,' and it is great. But we're playing our best ball now. "Our record reflects we didn't always play our best. But the kids are confident now."
