Trophy exec

Last Friday, after a week on the low pro, a high profile appointment was announced by the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce -- hiring 23 year old Joel Sambursky, star of many a football game at McAndrew Stadium in recent years, as Executive Director of the organization. His office is located in the old train depot (also home to Carbondale Main Street) at Illinois and Main, on the edge of Town Square. Perhaps Joel'll be persuaded to make a walking tour of businesses downtown (especially ones that belong to the Chamber). Since he's now retired from football, he may need the exercise. But even if he drives a car the half block to Carbondale Trophy at 116 N. Illinois Ave., he should talk to the owner, and hear why she's unhappy with the Chamber lately.
