Aviation museum hosts community project Both young, old members of community will work together to build an airplane By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Looking to both engage aviation enthusiasts as well as connect with the community, Bolingbrook’s Illinois Aviation Museum is launching its free “One Year Wonder” project, where both young and old will work together to build an airplane. Located at the museum at its site at Bolingbrook’s Clow International Airport, the project features the construction of a Zenith Aircraft CH 750 Cruzer. Eric Hayes, treasurer for the Illinois Aviation Museum board of directors, said the project is targeted toward engaging the young and young of heart in the community and surrounding communities to foster interest in aviation, engineering, math and science. Building sessions, which began March 21, will be scheduled on Saturdays each month until the project is completed. “This project is about more than building an airplane,” said Hayes. “It is about engaging and inspiring people... young, old, men and women, pilots and non-pilots.

This project is about touching lives, engaging and inspiring people through the motivation that aviation creates. This project is much bigger than the product itself (the completed airplane); we aim to inspire and create bonds between people engaging on a levels that are beyond many people’s daily life experiences. There are not many individuals who can say they contributed to the building of a flyable aircraft.” The museum’s mission is centered around the fact that the future of aviation lies in the youth and is committed to educate, preserve and promote aviation through community involvement, with projects such as these. The Illinois Aviation Museum at Bolingbrook is a consortium of individuals and groups dedicated to advancing aviation and engineering. It operates out of Hangar One, a 6,000 squarefoot-facility at Bolingbrook’s Clow International Airport. Hayes explained participants of the project have the opportunity to engage in all facets of building an experimental kit aircraft. The project will cover a vast variety of elements of aviation

including learning safety around aircraft, aircraft parts and aircraft construction tools; the basics of aerodynamics, the major parts of an airplane and what makes an airplane fly. In addition, participants will learn to read and interpret aircraft plans and drawings; engage in the fabrication and construction of aircraft components; help to keep building records to satisfy aviation regulators and authorities; all while developing problem solving and leadership skills. The project was inspired after a similar project launched, the “One Week Wonder,” in OshKosh,

Wis. last summer at the annual AirVenture convention, sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). Hayes said young and old, pilots and nonpilots, and aviation enthusiast of all types took a turn at being part of the aircraft’s construction. One of the goals of the project was to foster interest in aviation and provide a real, hands-on experience that ultimately results in a flying aircraft. That vision mirrors that of the Illinois Aviation Museum, and the idea for bringing a similar project here was born. “Our goal is to increase the understanding of aviation’s

historical relevance and future scientific and technological frontiers while enhancing the community supporting it,” said Hayes. “The museum serves as a focal point of educating the community utilizing applicationbased instruction through restoration and preservation of historically significant military and civilian aircraft.” There are no formal requirements to join the free project with kids, families and all groups invited to attend. For more information, contact the museum at 630-771-1937 or exec@ illinoisaviationmuseum.org.

Dateline: Springfield Edition Welcome to this week’s Hot Air, Springfield edition, culled from a bunch of meetings with local legislators in our State Capitol. Dear John … Congratulations to state Sen. Michael Hastings, D-Tinley Park, on his marriage in February. Only problem is, when you’re on several financial committees and the state is broke, you have to put some things on hold, courtesy of state Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago. “John told me, ‘You can plan your honeymoon for the week after the Fourth of July,’” Hastings said. “’If it gets bad, you can have your wife call the office.’” And with the temporary state income tax sunset in January and yet-to-be-discovered alternative revenue sources, she just might be making that call. “I don’t like using reserves,” Hastings said, “but this time, I may support it. Fiscal Year 2016 will be quite the train wreck.”

Dear, dear Nancy Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots has been telling County Board members she will need about $1 million more in this year’s budget due to a new law that requires her to offer same-day voter registration at

all of the county’s 300-plus polling places. That is, i4f you want to help protect against voter fraud by buying nearly 300 special eBooks that contain info registration info for all voters in that area, anyway. The problem is, said state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, is that Voots seems to be the lone voice among her fellow clerks lobbying for a change in the law to at least reduce the number of same-day polling places. He did note, however, there are grants available to help offset the cost of those special books.

That resulted in a follow-up discussion with two of Rauner’s staff, including Sean McCarthy, policy advisor for Economic Development. And that could result in a tour by the governor’s staff that locals hope will open up tours to the still-safe parts of the prison.

And pass the pepper, please

They said …

Not only was the recent dinner served by Joliet Junior College Culinary Arts students at the Governor’s Mansion a nice honor and great success, state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Crest Hill, happened to get into a little table talk sitting next to Gov. Bruce Rauner. Somewhere between the poached flounder and saffron herb mousseline, and the chocolate mousse, McGuire mentioned that, oh, by the by, the old Joliet Correctional Center on Collins Street is falling into disrepair. All the while, it continues to be the most asked about local spot by tourists.

Insert your own punchline When Rauner visited Logan Correctional Center in Lincoln recently, Hastings said he became the first sitting governor to visit a prison in the state.

“You have a lot of prisons in your district.” Rauner said to McGuire when talking about old Joliet Correctional, Stateville and the Illinois Youth Center in Joliet, soon-to-be renovated as a treatment center for adult mentally ill offenders. “I’m quitting my job. I want to drive a combine!” What state Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, said she told her mother after getting a combine ride courtesy of the Will County Farm Bureau.

Four candidates vie for three four-year terms on board Four candidates are vying for three four-year terms on the Valley View School District 365u. Incumbent and current School Board President Steve Quigley will face off against Diane Parro, James (JT) Boudouris and Sally (Clemens) Guilbo.

JT Boudouris Boudouris is a Romeoville resident, business owner, and a member of the Romeoville Chamber of Commerce. He is an active supporter of RHS Athletics and other school programs, as well as a supporter of youth programs throughout the Valley View community. Boudouris is a member of the Hampton Park Social Athletic Club and contributes to such charities as March of Dimes and Cancer research.

Sally Guilbo Guilbo is a lifelong Romeoville resident and has been a member of the Valley View School District for 42 years, a product of the district herself. She has taught as Romeoville High School for 20 years, coached at RHS for 17 years, performed administrative duties at RHS for 11 years. “I love and I am proud of where I live and I want this community to be best it can be. A huge part of being the best community lies within our youth and the education they receive. …All my duties in the district “have given me an opportunity to develop a deep insight into the workings and policies inside and outside of our schools. This experience will help in dealing with the challenges facing our school district.”

Steve Quigley Quigley is a 13-year Bolingbrook resident and has been the Valley View School Board President since 2009. He also is an active member in the Bolingbrook Lions Club, United Way of Will County, Local Government Committee, and Hampton Park Social and Athletic Club. He currently serves on the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus Steering Committee & Education Funding Task Force, Southland Convention and Tourism Board

of Directors, and the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative Board. He is a past member of the Bolingbrook Planning Commission. Quigley coaches community youth baseball, basketball and football. He contributes to such charities as the Valley View Educational Enrichment Foundation, Heart Haven Outreach, United Way of Will County, Breast Cancer Research, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Illinois Conservation Foundation, and the Humane Society.

Diane Parro Parro is a 25 year resident of Bolingbrook. Her children (Kristina, BHS ’11 and Brian, BHS’14) went through the VVSD schools where she was actively involved throughout the years, serving as PTA President at Wood View and Music Booster President at BHS, bringing the Art Works program to Jonas Salk, spearheading the purchase of an acoustical sound shell in the BHS Auditorium, and many other initiatives. She is currently a guest teacher at Jonas Salk. She volunteers extensively in the community, her church, and VVSD where she serves as the FANSS (Friends and Neighbors Supporting Students) coordinator at BHS. She has also been involved in the Boy Scout organization since 2002, serving in several leadership capacities. She was recognized by Rainbow Council in 2014 with the Excellence in Leadership award. Her goal as a school board member is to “increase awareness of the great things our students are accomplishing in the Bolingbrook and Romeoville communities.” She wants the taxpayers (majority of who have no students in our schools) to know what they are getting for their money. Parro also feels it is important to hold senior leadership to a high standard, ensuring that they continue to do what is best for students at all times.

Bolingbrook man guilty of striking police officer with pipe Convicted of attempted first degree murder; judge finds man mentally ill Will County State’s Attorney James W. Glasgow announces the conviction of a man who attempted to kill a Bolingbrook police officer by striking him in the head with a metal pipe during a domestic disturbance in August 2013. Levan C. Davis, 22, of 364 Walnut Circle, Bolingbrook, was convicted of Attempted First Degree Murder and two counts of Aggravated Battery at the conclusion of a bench trial March 26. He faces

between six and 30 years in prison when he is sentenced May 28. The judge found Davis guilty but mentally ill, which means he is eligible to receive mental health treatment while he serves his time in a state prison. Bolingbrook Officers Eli Limacher and Jason Mitchem responded to a report of alleged domestic violence at Davis’ Bolingbrook residence on Aug. 7, 2013. The defendant, who

had a history of mental illness and contacts with police, had threatened to kill his father during an argument over the television remote control. The officers found Davis in the garage. The defendant, who was shouting obscenities, picked up a four-foot long metal pipe and struck Limacher in the head after ignoring orders to place his hands on a vehicle in the garage. Officer Mitchem shot Davis twice, once in the arm and once in the back, to protect his fellow officer from further injury. Limacher suffered a serious head injury during the attack.

Park District has five candidates vying for three park commissioner seats Next Tuesday’s election will see a few newcomers in the races for park commissioners and Fountaindale Public Library trustees. The Bolingbrook Park District has five candidate vying for three park commissioner seats. Incumbents Jerry Hix, Al Traczek, and Sue Vastalo will face off newcomers Thomas M. Gilligan and Alice R. Murray. Hix, a 42-year resident, has a career in financial management and business improvement initiatives through the application of technology which is expertise that can be applied to the Bolingbrook Park District as well as his residential real estate practice. “Residing in Bolingbrook 42 years with my wife, two sons, and two grandchildren gave me many opportunities to contribute to our community including Bolingbrook Tee Ball, National Little League, BYBL PONY Baseball, Bolingbrook Soccer Club, Panther Sports Club, Bolingbrook Athletic Council, Jaycees, Lions Club, Community Leaders Council, Emerging Life Solutions, and substitute teacher in VVSD,” said Hix. “The personal reward of participation if these great organizations outweighs any effort I put forth. He wants to continue effective oversight of the Bolingbrook Park District on behalf of the tax payers and believes his extensive

business experience working with a wide variety of organizations coupled with his long term dedication to a World Class Park District provides a sound basis for decision making. Traczek, moved to Bolingbrook, 41 years ago from Chicago and was married to Marilyn for 51 years, until she passed away last July. He is a very active member of the Lions Club for more than 25 years and was very active in youth sports, from coaching too umpiring. “We have one of the top Park Districts in the country, said Traczek. “I want to keep this going for now and the future, so all the residents can enjoy the benefits of the vast programs, toddler to senior. I believe I’m well qualified after serving on the board for over 30 years. We have a great staff, and a good leader in our Executive Director. Let’s keep the momentum going forward too archive World. Class. Status.” Vastalo has lived in Bolingbrook since 1975 and has been seated on the Bolingbrook Park District Board for 20 years. “I want to continue the work I have been doing during my time on the board.

village news > village board race

4 candidates in the race for 3 seats on Village Board Four candidates are in the race for three seats on the Bolingbrook Village Board including incumbents running on the First Party ticket, Leroy J. Brown, Ricardo “Rick” Morales, Patricia E. Schanks and lone independent Robert Jaskiewicz.

Leroy Brown Brown was first appointed to the Board in 1993 to fill a vacancy. When that term expired in 1995, he was elected to a full four-year Leroy Brown term of his own. In June 2000 he was appointed Deputy Mayor. He currently serves on the Village’s Finance Committee and Public Safety Committee. “My main reason for running for Trustee is that I care for the residents of the community. I first started out being on a home owners association, which I am still the President for the past 38 years. I witnessed an increase in growth in this town, with new business, interstate accessible, medical facilities (New Hospital), restaurants, Golf Club, Promenade shopping, award winning parks, and hotels. I want to continue to be part of the Village Board and keep the high level of transparency between the Village Board and residents, which now is 98.5% as noted by the Illinois Policy Institute. I want to always listen to the residents and business owners understanding their needs and whatever concerns they have. One of my main concerns is managing the budget and maintaining the services that we provide the residents of the community and working with the department heads making the right decisions, decisions that impact the living conditions of our residents.” Brown serves as the Valley View School District student, staff and school Safety Coordinator; is a Vietnam Veteran, served as a Green Beret; founder of “Bridging the Gap”, a Television Talk Show for Teens and Parents aired on Bolingbrook Community Television; and a teacher of CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine). Brown is the president of the Bolingbrook Indian Oaks Condo Association since 1978; a member of American Legion Post 1288; and is recipient of several awards including the DuPage Township Male Citizen of The Year; Fred Hampton

Scholarship Award, Patriot Award; Chicago Police Service Award; Top Proposer Award; Citizen of the Year; Knights of Columbus Family of the Year Award; Lifetime Achievement Award; VIP Club Award; Knights of Columbus Knight of the Month; and the George Bailey Citizenship Award.

Robert Jaskiewicz Jaskiewicz, 20 year resident and active member of the community Robert is currently Jaskiewicz involved with the Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce, serving on the Board of Director; the Adventist Hospital Board of Directors and has chaired or served on committees for Foundation fundraisers. “I’m running for office because the residents of Bolingbrook lack a clear voice on the Village Board. Current trustees have recently shown a tendency to vote for policies and issues that benefit a few at the expense of the majority. The Rocket Ice Arena fiasco really raised my awareness of the sweetheart deals that are going on at the expense of the residents. The number of no bid contracts going to political supporters of the First Party candidates is a major concern as well. I’m also concern about theVillage’s credit rating being downgraded by Moody’s who provides credit ratings to financial entities on the credit health of municipalities. We have millions of dollars in general obligation bonds coming due soon and if the Village is unable to make good on these bonds, then they are required to raise property taxes or have to find alternative ways to pay these off in full. I feel qualified because I have been an active resident within the Village for 20 years. I believe we need to do what is right for the majority of our residents and not just for the benefit of a few. The current Board is in lockstep with the Mayor. If he wants an approval he gets it, if he doesn’t like something, it will be voted down. Providing a $350,000 windfall to

a major contributor at the expense of the taxpayers, and voted on unanimously by all the trustees, tells me that they do not have the majority of residents on their minds. How can you vote yes on this without looking at Financial Statements and telling our residents why this was a good vote. I’ve asked for the justification and have not been given one.” He is an officer in the Bolingbrook Rotary Club and recently headed up the Relief Effort for the Philippine Tsunami and most recently helped organize a fundraiser for the Gilligan Family. In addition, he is an appointed civilian trustee to the Bolingbrook Police Pension Board .He and his son, Ryan own 12five Capital LLC, an alternative lender providing receivable funding for small businesses who do not qualify for bank funding.

Rick Morales Morales was elected to his first term April 2001. He currently serves on the Land Use Committee and is Chair of the Public Safety Committee. “ M u c h Rick Morales has been

accomplished during my tenure on the Village Board; and there is still more to be accomplished as Bolingbrook continues to grow. Like any municipality, Bolingbrook is faced with managing daily operating cost… Four of the six labor unions representing Village employees will have their collective bargaining agreements expire April 30, 2015. As in past negotiations, we will stride to be fair while holding the line on what can be afforded. With regards to pensions, currently, locally funded Public Safety pension benefits are unsustainable. The State of Illinois and all of its municipalities are faced with this same realization. We must continue to lobby Springfield for comprehensive reform. Managing within the State of Illinois can be a challenge. Because of this we are constantly looking for best practices when managing expenses…As an example, during and after the most recent economic downturn we decreased operating expenses while maintaining the high level of civil services our residents have come to expect. We reorganized our organizational structure within the Village and consolidated departments decreasing department head cost. The Village has outsourced payroll, IT, and our E-911 dispatch resulting in thousands of dollars

saved on annual personnel, insurance, compensation and pension cost. Another focal point is housing. Like any other municipality, the Village continues to feel the effects of the “housing bubble”. The number of foreclosed and vacant homes is high; the stabilization of neighborhoods is a priority. Code enforcement has been expanded and we are working in conjunction with Will County and Community Development Block Grant Program on a housing acquisition and rehabilitation program. He holds a B.A.: University of Illinois, Chicago and is a graduate of the American Institute of Banking. He serves as the VicePresident Commercial Banking of Wintrust Bank; a member of Bolingbrook Fire Pension Board, Illinois Procurement Policy Board; past president of the Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce; and past Vice Chair and Board Member of the Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital Foundation Board. “… my education and experience aside, I also have a vested interest in town. Bolingbrook is mine and my family’s home. I want what all residents want, a village that we can be proud of, a village that will provide a good quality way of life for families and individuals.”

Once there, I hooked up with John Lesnak, a volunteer who has been flipping cakes for the Park District for 15 years. A few feet away in the small kitchen was his wife Terri, aptly known as “The Batter Queen,” for making sure we had enough ammunition in the thumb pump-powered pancake spreader. (Her relationship with pancakes ended there, however. “I don’t like the things.”) Once the clock struck 8 a.m., John and I started making cakes. The first time I used the spreader, I spilled a cup of batter from the side, making for an interesting shape. John knew how to make bunny ears on his, and he did a couple times. At one point, I looked back, and there was a line like the ones my family and I had stood in year after year. Initially, there was some pressure there to make sure people got their cakes and could sit down and enjoy them. But … you cannot rush pancakes. They will be done when they are done. So basically, I stopped looking behind me. I poured, waited, flipped, waited, then when they were ready, I scooped them on the plates, and started over. After nearly four hours, we were done. I could enjoy some pancakes and sides, and the best thing? John told me someone else does the cleanup. Is this a great job or what? More than 800 adults and children were served over the two days. I hope this turns into another annual tradition. I know it will be added to my long list of pancake festival memories. I can’t wait until next year.

Railroad safety too important to ignore These accidents are too common, but they are preventable A story, “We are Heartbroken,” published March 19, 2015 in the Champaign NewsGazette, described a March 18, accident in Tilton, Vermilion County, in which a young man was struck and killed by a train. It’s a painful reminder to all of us to be especially careful near railroad tracks. Unfortunately, that tragic incident plays out all too often in Illinois. (Similar incidents occurred in two other Illinois communities within the past week). These accidents are too common, but they are preventable. Illinois ranks fourth in the nation

for the highest number of trespasser fatalities and, in the past five years, 15 percent of those fatalities were in the 13-19 age group. The Illinois Commerce Commission, in conjunction with Operation Lifesaver, strives every day to educate the public on the dangers associated with rail transportation. Walking on railroad tracks is not only dangerous, but also illegal. Illinois law states,”No person may walk, ride, drive or be upon or along the right- of- way or rail yard of a rail carrier within the state, other than at a public crossing. Violators may be subject to a $150.00 fine.” (ILCS 18C-7503) OLI is a non-profit, public education program with hundreds of transportation safety and law enforcement partners, 50 state programs and more than 3,500

volunteers who are dedicated to ending tragedy on the tracks throughout North America. Those volunteers provide over 10,000 safety presentations annually, teaching drivers education students, professional drivers and school bus operators to “Look, Listen & Live!” at highway-rail grade crossings and to “Stay Off! Stay Away! Stay Alive!” when it comes to railroad tracks and property. I urge anyone interested in learning more about railroad safety to visit the ICC (www.icc.illinois.gov) or Operation Lifesaver (www.oli.org) websites for additional information. very truly yours, Michael e. stead rail safety program administrator

brooK’s NIXoN PLAYER OF YEAR Raider senior named as Voyager Media’s top hoopster

By MarK GreGory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

If you went back and pulled tape on Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost talking about his senior standout Prentiss Nixon, the quote you would hear over and over again is, “It’s Prentiss being Prentiss.” So, what does being Prentiss mean? It means 16.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. It means the leader of the team that placed third in state, the first Bolingbrook team to ever place. It means first team All-State as picked by the Illinois Basketball Coaches’ Association. And now, it means the 2015 Voyager Media Player of the Year. “He is a special, special player and a special, special kid,” Brost said of Nixon. “The maturity he has shown over the last year has taken his game to a new level. He has grown in composure and in the way he handles things on and off the floor.”

NIXON LED BOLINGBROOK T0 3RD PLACE IN STATE

Sure, that maturity was evident when he stepped up and put his team on his back, averaging 31 points against Plainfield East and Neuqua Valley in the sectionals, but was maybe most apparent in the third place game against Geneva, when Nixon was shoved to the floor by Loudon Love-Vollbrecht late in the fourth quarter. “That was on the biggest stage in the last game of the season,” Brost said. “The team followed his lead – when he didn’t react, they didn’t react.” Reacting the right way has been something Nixon has done since he first arrived at Bolingbrook. “There was so much pressure on him as a freshman with the way basketball is and all the hype,” Brost said. “He handled that even as a freshman with a level of maturity you don’t find in many high school kids. You can credit his parents on that because he is hearing the right things at home. This year, he faced a box and one, triangle and

That is when you have to be totally mature and he showed that.” With his play and success, Nixon has placed himself among the Raider elite as he leaves Illinois to play next season at Colorado State University. “He is the face of the program at this point,” Brost said. “When Ben (Moore) graduated, everyone wondered what we were going to do. Well, here was Prentiss as a sophomore and he stepped right in there. He is the hardest working player in the program since I have been there. I would get to school at 6:30 a.m. and on my way to my office, I would see him in the gym, he is not just shooting driveway jumpers, he would have a sweat going, even on game days. “It has been a pleasure to coach him and it has been a pleasure to be around him and I have said proud about a million times since Saturday night, but I am just so proud in the person he has become.”

All-AREA

Thomas, Torres join Nixon on All-Area team Here are the members of the 2015 Voyager Media All-Area boys basketball team.

FIRST TEAM COLIN BONNETT The lone returning starter from Benet’s Class 4A 2013-14 state runner-up club, Bonnett stepped right up and took over as the team’s leader this season, averaging 17 points, 4.2 assists and four rebounds. Bonnett was part of teams that won 27, 25 and 22 games, respectively, in each of his varsity seasons. “We put a lot on him as far as responsibility (this season) and he came through,” said Benet coach Gene Heidkamp. “I think he had an excellent season and was a big part of helping our team be successful.”

AARON JORDAN The University of Illinois-bound senior averaged 19 points per game for Plainfield East. Also had 4.3 rebounds per game, more than 50 assists and 35 steals for the regional champs. “Aaron has been the face of the program for the last three years,” East coach Branden Adkins said. “All attention has been on him because of his ability as a player. What is great about Aaron is his competitiveness to win as a team and not his only personal stats. He knew that his ability and hard work was going to be able to get him where he wants to get to which is the University of Illinois. When it was time to prepare for a game or game time it was all about trying to find a way to win. If he knew that he needed to be the scorer that night it was he went out to do. If it was being a distributor or rebounder that is what he went out to do. He made his teammates better through these types of actions.”

JOE MOONEY The ESCC Player of the Year averaged 19 points per game this season despite being the focus of constant attention from opposing defenses. The senior guard could be counted on for a clutch basket down the stretch, whether it be taking it to the hole or swishing a three-pointer. “He’s going to be tough to replace,” said Notre Dame coach Tom Les, who noted Mooney has several NCAA Division I and multiple Division II offers on the table.” He handled the ball quite a

bit under pressure for us. He had a very good year.”

PRENTISS NIXON VoyagerMedia Player of the Year averaged 16.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. The Colorado State University recruit was named first team AllState as picked by the Illinois Basketball Coaches’ Association.

TREVOR STUMPE Plainfield North senior averaged 23 points, six rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game, while leading the Tigers to the Southwest Prairie Conference championship. “He was conference MVP and team MVP,” North coach Bob Krahulik said. “He can score in any way, penetrating, shooting or at the free throw line. He is a very good off the ball defender, which is why he averaged two steals per game. Trevor meant so much to this team this year because he had so many responsibilities, such as handling all pressure and making shots when we needed them, plus he was our leading rebounder. Trevor will be missed immensely because you don’t get too many players that

are as skilled as him.”

Second team AMMAR BECAR Notre Dame’s 6-6 junior has a thick frame that enables him to bang inside for points and rebounds, yet he can handle the ball on the perimeter and hit a three-pointer. Becar, who averaged 17 points and nine rebounds, will again be a go-to player next season for the Dons, who gave state champion Stevenson its toughest game in the postseason. “Ammar is a three-year varsity player,” said Les. “The last two years he’s been a major contributor. He’s improved each year and we’re looking forward to him improving one more notch.”

JOE BUTLER Minooka junior averaged 16.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. Butler shot 50 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free throw line. He was an all-Southwest Prairie Conference player and was all tournament team at the WJOL Thanksgiving tournament, the York Holiday tournament and the Galesburg MLK tournament. “Joe was the heart and soul of our basketball team,” said Minooka coach Scott Tanaka. “His toughness led to our first regional championship game

in 15 years and our first fourstraight 15-plus winning seasons since 1955.”

JALEN JACKSON Junior from Joliet Catholic Academy averaged 18.5 points per game. He tallied 47 steals on the season, hit 72 three pointers and shot 80 percent from the free throw line. Was the leading scorer in the East Suburban Catholic Conference and was named to the all-conference team. Jackson paced the Hilltoppers to their first season above .500 since 1982. “All of his stats are good, but what Jalen does that sets him aside from other kids and makes

him all-area is the fact that he gets better every month, every week, every day,” said JCA coach Joe Gura. “He really works at his game. Everyone knows he can shoot, but he is religious about ball handling and working out and getting stronger, rebounding. His work ethic is outstanding and that is what makes his. When I put him in the starting lineup as a freshman, we were at rock bottom and we were looking at a foundation and he has done a wonderful job of being one of those building blocks to get JCA basketball back to respectability.

Thursday, Ap ri l 2, 2015 | boli ng brookbug le.com quiet way.”

JORDON KEDROWSKI Perhaps the best pure shooter

in the West Suburban Silver, Kedrowski, a senior who transferred from Neuqua Valley, proved he could find an open teammate, too. He averaged nearly 13 points and 4.7 assists per contest, and shot over 45 percent from the arc. “He had a breakout year,” said Downers North coach Jim Thomas. “He shot the ball and assisted the ball and logged the most minutes on our team. He was good from beginning to end and we counted on him. He had some really big games for us in the conference.”

GEORGE SARGEANT The 6-7 senior went about his business quietly but effectively for Maine South. This year he averaged over 15.5 points and nearly seven rebounds per game and hit 67 percent of his field-goal attempts. He’s the school’s all-time leader in field-goal percentage (65.1) and surpassed 1,000 career points (1,148). “He’s been the foundation of our baseline for the past two years,” said Maine South coach Tony Lavorato. “He always worked hard and was a great leader, always kept even keel. He cared about the game and Maine South basketball and dedicated himself to it.”

THIRD TEAM JON ARENAS Maine South’s steady junior wasn’t afraid to go to the hoop if the Hawks needed a bucket, and he displayed good range from the outside as well. But Arenas also was an effective defender who set a single-season school record with 80 steals this winter. “He came into his own in January of last year and kept building his confidence,” said Lavorato. “He plays with great flow and determination, and is able to create shots.”

KEVIN KRIEGER A junior from Plainfield North, Krieger averaged 13 points, five rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game. “He is extremely athletic with very good basketball skills,” Krahulik said. “He can shoot the three and has developed a little mid range pull-up. He was our second leading rebounder and shot -blocker. When Trevor had off games, he was the one who picked up the slack for the team. He set a school record with 22 dunks this season. Kevin meant so much because teams had to worry about him, not just Trevor. If teams focused on Trevor too much, Kevin had big games and he is going to

have many more next year.”

EZEKA OMEKE The rugged 6-4 Maine East senior power forward averaged a doubledouble this season (13 points, 12 rebounds) and was a four-year varsity performer for coach Dave Genis. One of his better games occurred in the regional semifinals versus Stevenson when he tallied 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. “This year he turned into arguably one of the most dominant players on our side of the conference (the CSL North),” Genis said. “Teams really had to prepare for him. He has true post back-to-the-basket moves. He’s going to be missed and it was a pleasure coaching him.”

SHANE RITTER Plainfield South senior led the team with 14.3 points per game and 3.87 rebounds per game. Added 54 steals and 70 three-pointers to also lead the team. “Shane was a great asset to our team,” South coach Tim Boe said. “He led by example and is a great player. As a coaching staff, we couldn’t ask for anything more from anyone on our team. “He will be missed, but we know there were 10 juniors in the gym taking notes on his method of operation and how that transfers in the games.”

BRODRIC THOMAS Bolingbrook senior averaged 11.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He was tabbed as an All-State Fourth Team selection from the Illinois Basketball Coaches’ Association. “He has improved so much. He has a chance to be a special player at the next level,” Brost said. “He has a skill set that is hard to find. He can play both guard spots, can really shoot it and is sneaky athletic. He is a very complete player and understands the game really well.”

FOURTH TEAM MATT CAPPELLETTI Romeoville junior forward led the team in scoring, averaging more than 10 points per game for the Spartans. Was also among the team leaders in steals, rebounds, steals, three-pointers and free throw percentage.

CALEB deMARIGNY Like his teammate, George Sargeant, deMarigny was a three-

year starter and four-year varsity player, and helped the Hawks win 81 games during his career. The senior point guard leaves as the school’s all-time leader in assists (428) and three-pointers (113). This year, he also snapped Maine South’s all-time mark for assists in a single season (212)—a record which stood since 1979. “He was an extension of the coaching staff out on the floor,” said Lavorato. “He has a high basketball IQ and made people around him better. He averaged 29 to 30 minutes (per game) and didn’t leave the floor. He was that valuable.”

JERRY GILLESPIE Joliet Central senior averaged 14.4 points, 3.4 assists, 2.7 steals and 2.1 rebounds per game. “He had great numbers and his contributions were not always seen on the stat sheet,” said Central coach Jeff Corcoran. “He carried us while we were dealing with injuries and suspensions.”

ELYJAH GOSS Plainfield East junior post contributed 10 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, while shooting better than 60 percent form the floor. “Elyjah is a real force around the rim,” Adkins said. “With his length and vertical ability he is very difficult to guard and keep off the glass. He also has the ability to hit the 15-footer. He was our leader in field goal percentage and rebounds. He also had a number of doubledoubles which going into next year will need to be his average. He really stepped up for us at times and created a lot of highlight pieces. Next year expectations will be high for him. He has the ability to be the best player in the conference and one of the best in the area.”

Julian Torres T h e Bolingbrook senior tallied 9.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game for the third-place Raiders. Torres was special mention All State and will play next season at University of WisconsinGreen Bay. “His potential is still through the roof,” Brost said. “I am proud of how he finished the season because there was a part in the season where he needed to go harder for longer and especially the last third of the season, he really did that.” - Compiled by Voyager Media staff

COLUMN

This sports heartbreak hits closer to home As a sports fan, you have your times of both triumph and heartbreak. It seems like for many fans, especially me, there are more cases of heartbreak. Over my 30 years of life, I have been able to celebrate two championships: The 1998 Tennessee Volunteers football team and the 2013 Seattle Seahawks. During that time there have been many more heartbreaks. The several close hoops and football losses for the Vols, the Houston Astros losing four close World Series games to the Chicago White Sox, and obviously, this past year’s Super

Bowl loss for the Seahawks. Those pale in comparison to how I felt in 2004 when the Lewis Flyers men’s Taylor’s take b a s k e t b a l l Scott taylor team hosted regionals and were upset by a No. 8 seed. Not only was it my school, but I was a manager on the team and had been with the team just about the whole way. To this day it was the last time I cried after a sporting event and will more than likely be the last time ever.

Yes, if you ever want to see a bunch of tough guys cry, just go into a locker room after an NCAA Tournament game and you will see plenty. A team that we swept that year, Southern Indiana, went on to win our regional and play for the National Championship. Had we not lost a four-year starter at the end of the regular season, that could have been us. That brings me to this year’s Lewis women’s team. The team was built a lot like my team of 2004, a veteran unit that was built to make a deep run. That run started right away in exhibition play, where they beat three Division-I schools,

Loyola by 20, Northern Illinois by 11 and Marquette by three. That was followed by 23 straight wins and the No. 1 ranking in Division II. “We started the season with three exhibition games against D-I teams and beat three in a week,” Lewis coach Lisa Carlson said in a press conference following the Elite Eight in South Dakota. “That started getting people’s attention. We started climbing the polls and were ranked No. 1 for the first time ever. It brings a lot of recognition to the community.” The Flyers lost for the first time all season, surprisingly at home, to Drury, where yours truly was

in attendance (of course). However, they bounced back and rolled to the conference tournament, looking to wrap up the top regional seed for the first time since 2007 (which happened to be my senior year and I filmed a regional semifinal upset loss). After losing in the GLVC semifinals (which I watched online), the Flyers got shafted and had to go up to Michigan Tech for regional play as the No. 2 seed. That didn’t faze them though, and with some help from Ashland, they didn’t have to play the top seed and were able

T h ur sday, Ap ri l 2, 2015 | boli ng brookbug le.com taylor | from page 17 to beat Ashland in the finals to advance to their first-ever Elite Eight in South Dakota. Of course, rather than listening via radio, I tuned in online to watch the game and get a story (at least I did see a few wins online as well). Despite some questionable fouls that kept posts Jess Reinhart and Mariyah Brawner-Henley in foul trouble throughout the game, the Flyers appeared in control for much of the game, leading by nine late in the first half and by six at the half, despite the foul trouble and not playing their best ball. The second half was more of the same, but turnovers (20 for the game) and cold shooting (29% in second half ) doomed Lewis against Limestone. “I think their zone was something we definitely struggled with,” Lewis junior Jamie Johnson said. “They had a couple long people up top and were able to get some steals out of that. You’re going to have bad shooting nights and this was one of them, but we fought hard till the end, they were just the better team tonight.” Still, the Flyers had a wide open look from the baseline to

take the lead late that missed and had three attempts to tie in the closing seconds from threepoint range that were off the mark. “I think all you can ask for at the end of the game is to get looks like that and have the right people shooting it,” Carlson said. “This is a group that will never quit and will fight to the end.” That brought an end to a great ride and one of the most successful seasons in any sport in Lewis history. The Flyers set program records for most wins (31) and fewest losses (3) on top of their other first-time achievements. “We didn’t play our best ball game tonight, but what they did this year is pretty remarkable,” Carlson said. “The minute they got on the court for practice, we had a feeling it would be a special year and it was. There were a lot of firsts for Lewis.” “It didn’t end the way we wanted it to and we didn’t go as far as we wanted to, but I’m proud of my team,” senior Kristin Itschner said. “I’ve been playing with these girls for a long time and they are like family to me. I’m proud of what we accomplished.”

The downside of having such a veteran team is that when it is over, it is over for many key players. The Flyers lose their No. 3-No. 6 scorers, which contributed to 37 points per game, including the all-time assists leader, Nikki Nellon, who dished out a teambest 176 on the year, more than five per game. With that said, they do return

their top two scorers in Johnson (18.2 PPG) and Brawner-Henley (17.6 PPG, 12.1RPG), which will still make them a threat in the GLVC and region. “It’s going to be hard losing this group of seniors, but we have some key players coming back, so I don’t think this is the last people will hear of Lewis,” Carlson stated. “No one wants your season to end, but when

you have such a big impact from your senior class, it makes it harder to swallow.” With the way the program has been heading for the years, there is no reason to think this team has hit their peak. Those returning will be ready to get back on the court and you can expect to see the Flyers back in the tournament again next year. I, for one, can’t wait.

Manley advances legislation to consolidate local government With approval of the voters, through referendum To reduce spending and decrease duplicative government services, State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, pushed legislation through committee that would allow the Will County Board to consolidate and dissolve any unnecessary units of local government, with approval of the voters, through referendum. “Our state is currently facing serious financial issues and anything that we can do to reduce spending will help relieve some of that pressure,” said Manley. “The intention of this bill is to allow Will County and all of the voters to decide whether or not they want to dissolve a unit of government that they feel only puts more of a burden on the taxpayers.” House Bill 4047, which was heard in the Counties and Townships Committee March 26, would offer the Will County Board the opportunity, if they so choose, to review and analyze burdensome units of local government and

Before the voters decide on whether or not they want that unit dissolved, the Board would have to inform the voters about how those services would continue to be provided, assuming it is consolidated, along with the cost savings. “Illinois has the most units of government in the entire country, and it is likely that there are duplicative services being performed which means our government isn’t running as efficiently as possible,” Manley added. “This bill is just one step that we can take to put the power back into the hands of not only the local governments but, more importantly, the taxpayers. It would allow all of us to make sure that we are operating proficiently, while also saving tax dollars. Mostly, I think that Will County residents should be given the opportunity to reduce the size of their government if they so choose.” For more information, please contact Manley’s full-time constituent service office at 815725-2741 or e-mail repmanley@ gmail.com.

Gov. Bruce Rauner stopped in Joliet March 27 to seek support from Will County officials in his quest to “turnaround” Illinois through various reforms. As a businessman, Rauner has attempted such turnarounds – taking a troubled company and bringing it back – many times before. But he told the several dozen officials packed into the BMO Harris Bank Community Room in the University of St. Francis’ downtown Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center – the Democratic process is a different animal. In business, he said he would have locked everyone in a room with cold pizza and said no one gets out until there is an agreement. But the $1.6 billion bailout

Patricia Schanks Schanks was elected to her first term as Trustee in April 2003. She currently serves on the Village’s Finance Committee and the Land Use Committee. “The Village is always a work in progress and there Patricia is much work to be Schanks done. Addressing the challenges that we face with the Water Company, the Emerald Ash Borer situation, removal of the diseased trees and the replacement trees to maintain the beauty of our Village, and attracting the businesses we need to fill the empty spaces that we still have and to enhance our tax base. Bolingbrook Staff is managing our day to day operations with reduced income and reduced

for the 2015 budget took longer than he expected, he said. In the end, though, he said the process gave him hope he and the Legislature could work in bi-partisan fashion on the 2016 budget. He said he hoped to get a budget passed by May 31 so they can avoid needing a supermajority in the Legislature for approval. But he knows it will be tough. He said his turnaround agenda has been put into bill form, and he will be discussing it soon now that the 2015 shortfall has been addressed. For 2016, by law, Rauner had to provide a balanced budget when he did so back in February. Revenues are projected right about $32 billion, and Rauner says that’s what they will spend unless alternative sources are found. That includes monies to replace the $4 billion lost when the temporary state income tax increase sunset Jan. 1. Though the state is in financial crisis, he said he put more funding into education because he wants to help grow

staff and has maintained a high level of the services that we always provided. We will continue to provide the residents with all the amenities that have become so popular. The free concerts held at the Performing Arts Center, Village Picnic, the Jubilee fest, the diverse festivals such as Joyfest, Philippine Fest-Piyesta Pinoy, Day of the Immigrant, Taste of Pakistan and many others. Bolingbrook Retail: First, the retail world is changing. The internet has had a negative effect of the “brick and mortar” stores nationwide and second, a number of retailers didn’t make it through the recession. However, this is not unique to Bolingbrook. These two factors have created retail vacancies in some of the “strip centers” in the Village. Borders, Food for Less,

careers, not just jobs. And he would like to see technical and vocational programs return to high schools. He believes in social services, but said the state can’t afford a strong social service safety net. Rebuilding the state’s economy and its education system can help the state get there. Rauner told the crowd too much time and money has been spent in the past on protecting government jobs. Though his reforms have been portrayed as anti-union, he insists he is “anti-conflict of interest” and “pro-competition.” The people who are making the rules are making it easier for unions who support them financially, he said, instead of working for the people who elected them. He suggested his “employee empowerment zones,” where work would be offered in open shops only, could be done by county. Then it would be up to the people in those counties whether they wanted union work or open shops, he said, adding that “Right to Work,” states such as Iowa have seen lower unemployment.

Sears, and a number of smaller retailers have left. The Village is working with the owners of the centers to find alternate users. Some of these spaces have been rented to non-sales tax.” She has served as Office Administrator for 26 years, for Coldwell Banker, now retired; Retired Former Family Court Clerk, Will County Circuit Clerk’s Office; Two-term President, Bolingbrook Business and Professional Women’s Organization; is a past volunteer for the Local Crisis Line of Will County; former Accredited HUD Housing Counselor, Community Service Council Of Northern Will County; former Commissioner, Bolingbrook Fire and Police Board, 1996 to April 2003; and former Deputy Clerk, Will County Circuit Clerk’s Office. She also received the Village of Bolingbrook’s Female Citizen of The Year (1999).

Guess when Bolingbrook’s population hits 75,000 and win Enter contest via Facebook, email or snail mail When will Bolingbrook welcome its 75,000th new neighbor? That’s the question that the Village is putting to everyone, with a contest and prizes, part of the celebration of Bolingbrook’s 50th anniversary year. Enter the Village’s contest by picking the date, and you could win a prize, including the 50th Anniversary Commemorative coin. “People may have the impression that there isn’t much home building in Bolingbrook anymore,” said Mayor Roger Claar. “It’s not the heyday of booming growth like the 1960s and‘70s, or even the ‘80s and ‘90s, but then, we’re not looking for that,

anymore. Nevertheless, our new housing market is strong.” The Village has averaged about 120 new homes a year for the past nine years. In 1965 when the village was officially incorporated, there were about 5,000 people. It topped 50,000 in 1996 and the population hit 70,000 in 2006. To enter the contest, pick the month, date and year when Bolingbrook’s population will first hit or exceed an estimated 75,000 due to newly constructed homes. Hint #1: it’s pretty sure to be this year, in 2015, during the village’s 50th anniversary year. Hint #2: It may be sooner, rather than later. It all depends on how fast new houses are built, bought, closed, and occupied by our new neighbors. “Don’t delay in getting your entry in, and don’t pick a date late in the year,” advises Sandy Swinkunas, who heads the 50th

Anniversary Committee, which is running the contest. The Village will offer evidence of a closing on the new house that would put Bolingbrook’s population at or above 75,000, according to statistical analysis used by the census bureau and the Planning and Zoning administrator. Everyone who entered the contest and who had picked that date wins. If there are multiple winners, there will be a random drawing for the best prize. There’s more than one way to enter, with one entry per person allowed. You can use the contest form on the anniversary’s Facebook page, www.facebook. com/bolingbrook50; n send an email with your name and chosen date to Happy50@bolingbrook. com; or mail your guess to Sandy Swinkunas, 50th Anniversary Committee, c/o Village Hall, 375 W. Briarcliff Road, Bolingbrook, IL 60440.
