Jack May of Princeton Comes Through Big. his Pumkin Project for the Poor helps Ravioli Alley Needy It didnt happen overnight, but eight year-old Jack May of rural Princeton had a plan. He wanted to raise money to help the poor and decided to use his farming skills to achieve this goal. With the help of his dad, Jim and old- er brother Jake, Jack planted and grew pumpkins on his family farm. Once they were large enough, the family including mom, Jeannine, harvested the pumpkins and Jacks real work began. Thanks to neighbors, family and friends, Jack was able to sell most of his bounty. Jack and his family arrived at Hall Township Food Pantry to donate 80 pounds of pumpkins and gourds and his earnings of $150 to help buy groceries for people who have no food! When does one start giving back and helping their neighbors in need? Jack May began at 8 years of age! You are never too young . . . and never too old to help a neighbor in need. Grow a pumpkin!

Speaking to a group of children recently, a minister asked them various questons about what would Jesus do if he were here in their town. Among other things he asked, Where do you think Jesus would go to eat. Creatvely one child reply, Panara Bread? Along those same lines another replied, the Olive Garden? Finally one child said, I know where he would go to eat the soup kitchen and bread line. Wow! What a Great answer! Funny how kids can nail things right on the head!

Hey you 50-something Ravioli Alley residents..do something a litle big Great and remember to support your town churches Were you in a high school class when the word came that President Reagan had been shot? Did you wear painters pants to school? Did you run down to Al Cabodis at noon for lunch? Getng to be the senior person at work? More of an empty nester at home? If so, you are no doubt in your magic 50s now. If you have not been involved in your church in some tme..maybe since your kids were young.maybe since YOU were young..now is a good tme in your life to make sure you are doing the basics to support your community churches. Churches are just like your schools, post ofces, and fre departments in a sense, says Jim McDonald of Cherry. It is a Great idea to support them all as best you can. To make sure your town is strong. McDonald goes on to say, I spent my whole life here, was an altar boy, all my friends and I went to school and church together. Now that I am older, I am proud of my church and want to see it be successful. JTB suggests that it would be Great if you could take a few minutes and do some things now to help your town church. The following simple actons would be Great:
Contact your minister/priest and have them email you the weekly bulletn Put your church web-site /Facebook page on your com- puter/smart phone favorites so you can keep track of what is going on Have your minister/priest get you giving envelopes and mail one in every month Go to fundraisers and events that you church sponsors
I started supportng the church again a few years ago, said McDonald. Im proud of my church as it is a part of me. Whether a person physically goes to church, I think it would be Great if the folks my age remembered to support the church here and there. Besides helping your community, your kids and grandkids will notce and you will feel good knowing you are doing the right thing. P A G E 3 V O L U M E 2 , I S S U E 1 Heres what people around the country are saying about Up Ravioli Alley! John Hull of San Jose, California, previously of Spring Valley says, I thoroughly enjoy your Ravioli Alley newsleter. It brings back great memories of the Illinois Valley of 40-50 years ago when I was a kid. I was kind of surprised that I knew a few nicknamesButons Liebe, Rooster Baracanni, Mule Mautno, Buzzy Verucchi. I seem to remember a couple of Spring Valley fellas with names like Dua or something like that..since they were the second-born in their family. Again, if there is anything I can do out in Cali- fornia for you, let me know. Audrey Sebben of Ladd writes, Can't tell you how much I enjoy "Up Ravioli Alley". Would you please add me to your email list? Keep up the good work! Joanne Wieczorek of LaSalle writes, I very much enjoyed the August issue of URA sent to me by my cousin. I spent much of my early childhood in Dalzell as I had two aunts and families living there. My mom was born in Dalzell. Enjoyed standing on the corner by Vallero's Bakery and smelling the bread baking and eatng Cho-cho's. The bocci ball games were fun to watch and what about the chicken fghts up in the grove on the north end? Natalie Grider of Hillsboro, IL writes, "Up Ravioli Alley" was forwarded to me and I think it is Great! When my fve year old daughter Hadley found out her friend got her bike stolen, it broke her heart. Her friend's mom could not buy her a new bike because she is a single mom of three and didn't have the money. Hadley poured all of her piggy bank money in a zip lock bag and asked me if this amount would be enough to buy her friend a bike. I al- most cried. I said "for sure." So the next day we went to Walmart and bought her a new bike. I was very proud of her. She is a special girl who knows at a young age to be selfess. Good kids doing Great things! Doreen Hozel Dellinger formerly of Ladd now of LaSalle writes, My Mom and I would be so happy when we received Up Ravioli Alley in mail. We would stop everything to read it together what a great memory for me. You are doing a great job John the Barber! Vicki Gensini formerly of Mark now of McNabb writes, Please add me to your email mailing list. Love your publicaton! Thanks for all your hard work in putng it together! Bill Mason of Spring Valley writes, How can I get back issues of "Up Ravioli Alley"? I would like to send them to my aunt, Mary Rita Mason, a life-long resident of Spring Valley. She is 94 years old. She would be most interested in Up Ravioli Alley.

Hall 1973 Football Squad inducted into Hall Sports Hall of Fame In additon to individual stars Rollie Himes and Jerry Stank and the undefeated 1928 football squad, Coach Kelly Kanes unfor- getable 1973 Hall football team was inducted into Hall Sports Hall of Fame recently. So many thrilling memories! Coach Kane personally selected the new Hall football uniforms that year. Copying the very popular and successful Ohio State Buck- eyes of those years, the Red Devils wore sharp uniforms and helmets of red, white, and silver. Both Kane and his assistant coach Dan Darlington would go on to Illinois High School Foot- ball Coaching Hall of Fame careers! Wow! Everyone remem- bers the Red Devils trouncing their many opponents early in the season. They also remember the famous mid-season head to head confrontaton against Geneseo at Hall. The Red Devils clearly were outplaying the Maple Leafs, controlling the ball and completely shutng down Geneseos strictly run ofense. Who out there remem- bers Geneseo, late in the game, running a litle, slowly developing fea-ficker pass playa wobbely litle pass that went for a long touchdown and giving Geneseo a 14- 14 te? Although Red Devil fans were greatly disappointed, the following week they went crazy.as they were walking out afer another big win, news came across the radio that Rochelle had ted Geneseo 0-0! All the Red Devils had to do was beat Rochelle and the NCIC conference championship would be theres! One of the most important games in many years of Hall football was played at Rochelle. Ro- chelle had to be tough as they ted Geneseo 0-0 AT Geneseo! Kellys Heroes could not have been more focused and ready. One of the greatest single plays in Hall football history occurred in the second quarter. Backed up deep in Rochelle territory, Hall star running back John Romanelli hit the line hard for what looked like a clear frst down. Happy, standing Hall fans slowly began to sit back down but sud- denly there goes Romo popping out of the pile and heading straight down the center of the feld! He is in an 85-yard dash with Rochelles fastest man but Romo out-runs him and the Devils take a lead they would never give up. Well have to do an- other artcle on this team sometme.too many names to menton here.cool as a cucumber, team leader quarterback Mike Argubright, triple threat star (ofense, defense, special teams) Rick Donna, nothing but Great defensive star Jack McNally, you- cant-just-key-on-Romo running star Mike Pyszka. Again we will menton more in future artcles. P A G E 5 V O L U M E 2 , I S S U E 1 Heres a few quick Rav-notes...

Success poem from the 1928 Hall Light yearbook
Simply inserted into the beginning pages of the 1928 Hall Light yearbook is the following poem enttled Success. What a unique period.stll confdent and energized by the victory in WW I, the strong economy, and the promise of a bright future, it was a joyous tme for sure. The yearbook is loaded with wonderful pictures of happy, well-dressed, good looking Ravioli Alley teens. Litle would they know how handy and relevant this po- em would be in their lives. Just a year later the Wall Street crash would shock the world and turn the lives of all Ravioli Alley families upside down. Scratching and clawing their way through the depression, they would then be tossed headlong into all the challenges, fears, sorrows, and eventual joys of World War II. From 1929 1945 in Ravioli Alley, there were hundreds of Good people doing Great things! This poem can be of Great use to you TODAY! Remember, that same blood that fowed through their veins fows through yours! Read it, learn it, live it! (Cut out and keep on your refrigerator) P A G E 6
The best witness to the faith is not a loud and obnoxious bloviator (one who speaks pompously); God is found not in the lightning, nor in the fre, nor in the great wind, but in the stll, small voice. The best (indeed the only) way to evangelize efectvely is by sterling, joy-flled EXAMPLE, obedient to the word and the will of God. Paul Wilson, religious news writer
