Master Mover Helps Stott Move Fourth Illinois 47 House
Advance Moving Contractors of St Charles and Wheaton plan to move Roland Stott's three bedroom house about 3 miles from 311 Hoover St to his farm north of Interstate 80 west of Illinois 47 if a state highway permit is issued and weather stays dry. The job follows two prior moves in the Illinois 47 area and requires traffic stoppage on Illinois 47 and west U.S. 6. Friesen, owner of Advance Moving, recounts a history of large moves and engineering feats including lifting all building sections simultaneously and moving up to 710 tons for Joliet’s Liebermann store.

Judge rules state failed to prove case
Grundy County Circuit Judge Leonard Hoffman found Dennis Willis not guilty of the Oct. 17 Morris Pizza Hut armed robbery after granting a directed verdict. The judge said the state failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt and noted there was no confession or corroborating evidence tying Willis to the crime. He criticized reliance on testimony and a gun shown by the state, stating there was no link to Willis and no circumstantial evidence connecting him to the robbery.

Trial ends as Willis case dismissed amid defense challenges
In Grundy County, Judge Hoffman dismissed the charges against Willis after defense attorney William Surin argued no direct evidence tied him to the Pizza Hut armed robbery. The state contended witnesses placed Willis at or near knowledge of the crime, while other co defendants Rondell Davis and Michael Witherington await separate trials. A 15 year old witness testified about a gun loaned to a suspect, with Brown placing Willis across the street during the robbery remarks.

Judge rules teachers cannot collect unemployment in summer
Morgan County Circuit Judge John B. Wright ruled that teachers and others working with school children cannot legally collect unemployment compensation during summer months if they fail to find temporary jobs. The decision upholds a 1977 board ruling, says availability alone is not enough, and notes teachers keep seniority and retirement benefits for the three summer months. The AFSCME plans to appeal.
