HOUSTON COUNTY, Ga. A Houston County organization is doing its part five days a week by feeding seniors and people with disabilities. Like many other things, the pandemic has made things more challenging for the Meals on Wheels program.
Corey Marcum spends four days a week delivering for Meals on Wheels. He and his mom get their route started at 10:00 a.m. and they stop at 30 places a day.

Joliet resident Jerry Hervey addressed the Joliet City Council on the issue of pension spikes for Al Roechner and Darrell Gavin. He is against it. (City of Joliet )
JOLIET, IL Al Roechner was a lousy chief at the Joliet Police Department and Darrell Gavin was equally inept as Roechner s deputy chief, according to Black Joliet community activist Jerry Hervey.
Because Roechner and Gavin were both underachievers, according to Hervey, the Joliet City Council must not allow Roechner to retire with a $31,000 pay raise on his second to last day at work. Days later, Gavin negotiated an $18,000 raise for himself to retire, rather than accept a demotion back to sergeant and a substantial pay cut.

JOLIET, IL Joliet s police chief, which is one of the most powerful positions in Will County, has been entrusted to white men for several decades, but that may change starting next week.
After less than 2 1/2 years in the job, Al Roechner submitted his retirement notice Friday, a matter of hours before the Joliet City Council voted 6-3 to hire former Army colonel Jim Capparelli as the new permanent city manager for Joliet.
