Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport

Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport (FAA LID: 1C5) is a public airport in Bolingbrook, a village in Will County, Illinois, United States. Located 29 miles (46 km) southwest of the Chicago Loop, it is a small general aviation facility catering to private pilots, students, and commuter aircraft. History The airport was originally a grass airstrip built by Oliver Boyd Clow in the 1950s. By 1989 it was named the best privately owned, public-use airport in Illinois. It was acquired by the Village of Bolingbrook in 2004. The village has expanded the airport, which includes a widened runway, additional taxiways, and landing glidepath lighting. The airport was used as a location for the 1992 film Folks! with Tom Selleck and Don Ameche, which included a cameo by Clow, the founder of the airport. Clow called the airport "Clow International" on the spur of the moment when filing a flight plan. He chose the word "international" to reflect Chicago's mixed ethnicity, rather than the airport's size: his many friends and fellow pilots were of German, Polish, and other ethnic backgrounds now making their homes in Chicago. "It was named on a lark and borders on the ridiculous, but people remember it. Sometimes the absurd is easier to remember," said Clow. The airport received $2.4 million from the Illinois Department of Transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the Rebuild Illinois program. The money went toward replacing a taxiway and the airport's rotating beacon. Facilities and aircraft Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport covers an area of 205 acres (83 ha) and contains one runway designated 18/36 with a 3,360 x 75 ft (1,024 x 23 m) asphalt pavement. For the 12-month period ending July 31, 2020, the airport had 50,000 aircraft operations, an average of 137 per day: 96% general aviation and 4% air taxi. For the same time period, there were 59 aircraft based at this airport: 54 single-engine and 4 multi-engine airplanes, and 1 helicopter. The fixed-base operator (FBO) at Clow is JW Aviation. It offers fuel, aircraft parking and hangars, flight training, and aircraft rental. Illinois Aviation Museum The airport is also the location of the Illinois Aviation Museum at Bolingbrook, which includes a collection of restored and replica aircraft. Accidents and incidents On September 25, 2013, a Cirrus SR20 airplane crashed after the pilot attempted a go-around. The plane had two occupants; both were killed.

Saint Xavier University

La Saint Xavier University (abbreviato SXU) è un istituto misto quadriennale di alta formazione situato nella zona sud-occidentale di Chicago, Illinois. Storia La Saint Xavier University fu fondata dalle Suore della Misericordia nel 1846 su richiesta del vescovo William Quarter. Quando la città di Chicago aveva meno di dieci anni di vita, le Suore della Misericordia, sotto la guida di madre Mary Francis Warde, costituirono l'accademia femminile di San Francesco Saverio. L'accademia, che sarebbe poi diventata il Saint Xavier College e infine la Saint Xavier University, fu il primo college della Misericordia nel mondo ed è il più antico college legalmente riconosciuto della città di Chicago. Il campus originario, distrutto nel grande incendio di Chicago del 1871, si trovava in Wabash Avenue tra la Madison e la Monroe nel centro di Chicago. Subito dopo il campus fu ricostruito in un terreno di 2 ettari al confine meridionale di Chicago. Collegamenti esterni (EN) Sito web ufficiale, su sxu.edu.

Whirlyball

Il Whirlyball è uno sport di squadra, inventato da Stan Mangum, che combina elementi della pallacanestro e del jai alai, o piuttosto il lacrosse e l'autoscontro; i giocatori guidano dei Whirlybugs, piccoli veicoli elettrici simili appunto a macchinine dell'autoscontro. Dal momento che il gioco richiede un campo speciale, i suoi incontri sono disputati in un numero molto ridotto di località, negli Stati Uniti d'America ed in Canada. Il gioco Una squadra di Whirlyball è formata da cinque giocatori, ognuno alla guida di un Whirlybug e con una sorta di mestolo, con cui può passare la palla, generalmente una Wiffleball, ai compagni e tirarla a segno in un bersaglio circolare posto alle due estremità del campo. Una marcatura nel Whirlyball è chiamata "Whirlic". Ai giocatori non è consentito lasciare le loro auto o toccare la palla con le mani; per il resto ci sono ben pochi divieti, pur all'interno di un certo margine di sicurezza: ad esempio è vietato sbattere contro un avversario da dietro (penalità di 4 punti). Le palette utilizzate a livello ricreativo per il gioco sono realizzate dall'azienda di Mangum, la Flo-Tron Enterprises, ma molti giocatori a livello nazionale preferiscono usare una paletta da Trac Ball, per via del suo minor peso. Origini Il gioco venne concepito a Salt Lake City all'inizio degli anni '60 da Stan Mangum, un inventore che stava lavorando sulla progettazione di un piccolo ed agile veicolo per l'autoscontro. Questo veicolo divenne poi il Whirlybug. La popolarità e diffusione del Whirlyball è ampiamente attribuita a Kim Mangum, figlio di Stan e fondatore della Flo-Tron Enterprises, un'organizzazione che distribuisce diritti ed equipaggiamenti legati al Whirlyball. Questo sport è giocato a livello agonistico in diverse leghe, ma è praticato soprattutto a livello ricreativo all'interno di leisure center con bar, biliardo e altre attrazioni. Campi da gioco si trovano a Chicago, Detroit, Washington, Cleveland, Kansas City, Seattle, Dallas, Atlanta, Toronto, New Jersey, Connecticut, e Florida.

Joliet (Illinois)

Joliet è una città degli Stati Uniti d'America, capoluogo della Contea di Will, nello Stato dell'Illinois. È situata 60 km a sud-ovest di Chicago e risulta quindi appartenere alla grande area urbana della stessa metropoli. È la città con il più alto tasso di crescita demografica di tutto l'Illinois: 106 221 abitanti censiti nel 2001, 142 702 quelli stimati nel 2006. Il nome è un tributo all'esploratore canadese Louis Jolliet che esplorò quest'area nel 1673. Storia Nel 1833, in seguito alla guerra di Falco Nero, Charles Reed costruì una capanna lungo il lato ovest del fiume Des Plaines. Dall'altra parte del fiume, nel 1834, James B. Campbell, tesoriere dei commissari del canale, creò invece il villaggio noto con il nome di "Juliet", nome che i coloni locali avevano usato prima del suo arrivo. L'origine del nome era molto probabilmente deriva dal nome dell'esploratore franco-canadese Louis Jolliet, che nel 1673, insieme a Padre Jacques Marquette, si accampò in una zona a pochi chilometri a sud dell'attuale Joliet. Nel 1845 i residenti locali decisero di cambiare il nome della loro comunità da "Juliet" a "Joliet", che divenne città nel corso del 1852.
