A Hometown Hero Returns: Coach Jim Caldwell at Beloit Memorial

A Hometown Hero Returns: Coach Jim Caldwell at Beloit Memorial

This past Saturday, Beloit Memorial High School had the incredible honor of welcoming back one of its own—Jim Caldwell, a Stateline native who has built an impressive career in the NFL. Caldwell, who once roamed the halls of Beloit Memorial as a standout athlete, returned home to share his experiences, wisdom, and love for the community that shaped him.The event, titled One-On-One: A Conversation with Coach Jim Caldwell, was hosted at Beloit Memorial and presented by the Jim and Cheryl Caldwell Foundation. It was a special opportunity for attendees to hear directly from Caldwell about his journey from a high school athlete in Beloit to an NFL coach with multiple Super Bowl rings.Caldwell’s resume speaks for itself—he’s been a head coach for both the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts and has held key coaching roles with several other teams. He’s currently serving as a senior assistant for the Carolina Panthers, continuing his legacy of leadership and excellence in the league.During his time at Beloit Memorial, Caldwell made his mark as a talented defensive back and kick returner for the school’s undefeated 1972 football team. He also played a crucial role as a guard on the 1973 state championship basketball team. His achievements as a student-athlete were just the beginning of a career that would take him to the highest levels of professional football.At the event, Caldwell took the stage in the school’s theater, answering questions from a host before speaking directly to the audience. His message was one of perseverance, hard work, and the importance of giving back to the community.A huge thank you to Beloit Memorial High School and the School District of Beloit for helping make this event possible. Supporting free, positive news and celebrating local success stories like Caldwell’s is what keeps our community strong!

Whether you're a lifelong resident or new to the area, this library offers so much more than meets the eye, and National Library Week is the perfect time to see for yourself.A Legacy of Learning and CommunityTalcott Free Library’s story began in 1875 when the Public Library Association was first organized in Rockton, with users paying to borrow books. That all changed in 1888, when the Honorable Wait A. Talcott donated a building to the township with one condition: the town must formally support the library through taxes, making access free for the public.The building itself, constructed in 1854 as a feed and grain store, was transformed into a beacon of learning thanks to the Talcott family. It officially became Talcott Free Library in 1889, marking a major turning point in making knowledge accessible to everyone.Over 125 years later, the mission remains the same: Talcott Free Library is a strong community partner that provides a friendly, safe space for generations young and old to strengthen their knowledge and enrich their lives.Modern Services for All AgesWhile the heart of the library is still in its books, today's Talcott Free Library offers a wide range of services and resources to meet the needs of the modern world:Study Rooms – Perfect for quiet work or group projectsChildren’s Reading Programs – Storytimes, crafts, and learning fun for little onesTeen Zone – A dedicated space for young adults to read, study, and hang outDigital Resources – Stream movies, listen to audiobooks, take language courses, and access eBooks right from your phone or tabletFrom toddlers to seniors, Talcott is a space where every generation can learn, connect, and grow.Celebrate National Library Week: April 6–12To celebrate National Library Week, Talcott Free Library is teaming up with local Rockton businesses to give residents even more reasons to stop by and get a library card.

Pietro’s Pizzeria: A Taste of Tradition in Roscoe

If there’s one thing my daughter loves, it’s pizza. So, when I heard about the legendary Pietro’s Pizzeria in Roscoe, I knew we had to try it out. I grabbed some carry-out to see if it would live up to the hype—not just for me, but for my daughter, the ultimate pizza critic.Before we get to our taste test, let’s talk about the history behind this beloved local spot. Pietro’s Pizzeria was founded by Pietro Girgenti, who immigrated from Sicily in 1983 and made Roscoe his home. In February 1991, he opened Pietro’s Pizzeria, bringing authentic flavors and a passion for great food to the Stateline area. Over the years, Pietro’s has become a staple in the community, known for its delicious pizza, hearty Italian dinners, sandwiches, and appetizers.What started as a humble pizzeria has now grown into a must-visit spot for locals and visitors alike. And if you haven’t been in a while, here’s a great update—you can now sit down and enjoy your meal inside!I placed my order and picked up our pizza, eager to see what all the buzz was about. The moment I opened the box, that incredible aroma hit me—the perfect blend of melted cheese, rich tomato sauce, and freshly baked crust. I knew this was going to be good.Back at home, my daughter wasted no time digging in. She took huge bites, barely stopping to breathe! Before I knew it, she was stuffed, happily declaring it one of the best pizzas she’s ever had. And trust me, she’s very picky when it comes to pizza!Pietro’s Pizzeria isn’t just another pizza place—it’s a piece of Roscoe’s history. With its roots in authentic Sicilian flavors and a long-standing reputation for quality, it’s easy to see why people keep coming back. Whether you’re grabbing carry-out like I did or dining in to enjoy the full experience, you can’t go wrong with Pietro’s.If you haven’t tried it yet, what are you waiting for? Give it a shot and let me know—do you think Pietro’s Pizzeria lives up to its reputation?
