School District partners with outreach group Heart Haven Outreach continues work to reach out, help local teens By Laura Katauskas staff reporter
katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas
The Valley View School District 365u is entering a formal partnership with an organization aligned to support teens socially and emotionally while offering an alternative to suspension program. Heart Haven Outreach, commonly known as H20, has been making it their mission to open their hearts and give their time and resources to Bolingbrook and Romeoville teens, providing mentoring and support to those that may not find anywhere else. H2O focuses on supporting teens experiencing challenges at school and/or in their home life. The group proactively and reactively provides support
for Valley View students in the alternative to suspension program and therapeutic discipline systems. H20 has been working with the Valley View School District creating the ATS support group, an alternative for students committing 1 to 10 day in-school suspension offenses. Groups discuss offenses while trying to get to deeper issues that may help address underlying problems. The goal is to help students develop coping skills to help them avoid the same negative behavior. The school board approved the partnership with H2O and Valley View School District to support services for the five middle schools and two high schools at a cost of $150,000, which was built into the 2014-2015 budget. Superintendent James Mitchem said the district will
have a tracking system in place and to collect data indicating the worth of the program through a myriad of measures including academic performance, attendance and social emotional behaviors. Some of the many opportunities include: ATS/ATD Talk It Out Support Group, Real Life Support Groups,Transportation, Good Clean Fun Recreational Activities, Going Deeper Character Development, You Got Served Service Projects, OnetoOne Mentoring, Snack, Track, and Tutor After School Tutoring, Overnight Trips/Retreats, and Special Events. H20 was organized by community leaders in 2004, opened its doors in January 2005, located at 201 Canterbury Lane in Bolingbrook; and expanded to Romeoville in 2012 when a grant from the Community Foundation of Will County allowed them to purchase a 12-passenger van, eliminating the barrier of transportation for some.

Village continues to remove infected trees Bolingbrook has instituted a protocol for EAB that aims to treat every area equitably By Laura Katauskas staff reporter
katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas
A long and arduous task, the village of Bolingbrook continues to remove hundreds of trees infected with the Emerald Ash Borer. Derived as public enemy number one at its first onset a few years ago, the Emerald Ash Borer is still taking its tolls on trees and village coffers. The village has at least 30,000 Emerald Ash trees, 20,000 on village property. In an ongoing battle with the invasive beetle, the village has spent thousands, removing and treating viable trees and the process continues. Last year alone, the village treated 6,000 trees at $75 each, and earmarked several hundred thousand for the possible removal or treatment of hundreds more. In May, the village board approved up to $250,000 for tree removal due to the infestation. To date, 1,112 trees have been removed.
In June, the board increased the Motor Fuel Tax by 2 cents and designated the funds for tree removal. Those funds have allowed for an additional $225,000 for the removal of dead trees on village property, which the board recently awarded to Homer Tree Care Inc. Prices remained the same—trees up to six feet at $10 per inch and for trees more than six feet at $20 per inch. Homer Tree Service will charge residents $28 per inch to remove trees on private property. The Illinois Arborists Association says if a tree has lost more than 50 percent of its canopy, it is probably too late to save it. Bolingbrook has instituted a protocol for EAB that aims to treat every area equitably. Only trees with 60 percent or more of their foliage and in otherwise healthy condition will be treated. Those that are deemed dangerous will be removed. The village plans to replace the trees as funds allow and will do so with a variety of different tree
species, but that may be a year or two down the line, with the priority being replaced on removing dead trees. The village first worked on the area of Route 53 and Boughton Road, then its major arterial roads such as Briarcliff and Remington Boulevard; and lastly through neighborhood streets. An invasive beetle, the EAB feeds on the inner bark of ash trees, effectively preventing the tree from transporting water and The Illinois Department of Agriculture says the EAB, no bigger than a penny, has killed millions of ash trees in the Midwest The beetle often is difficult to detect, especially in newly infested trees. Signs of infestation include the presence of metallicgreen beetles about half the diameter of a penny on or around ash trees, thinning and yellowing leaves, D-shaped holes in the bark of the trunk or branches and basal shoots. Anyone who suspects an ash tree has been infested should contact the Bolingbrook Public Works Department at 630-2268820.

Bolingbrook soccer coach charged with soliciting a minor Jason Lentz, 39, was arrested on Saturday by investigators from several jurisdictions A Bolingbrook soccer coach has been charged with indecent solicitation and grooming charges following an investigation conducted by the Will County State’s Attorney’s High Technology Crimes Unit. Jason Lentz, 39, of 1487 Firethorn Street, Bolingbrook, was arrested on Saturday by investigators from several jurisdictions, including the Will County State’s Attorney’s High Technology Crimes Unit, the Bolingbrook Police Department, the DuPage County Internet Crimes Unit and the Naperville Police Department’s High Technology Crimes Unit. Lentz was charged with Indecent Solicitation of a Child (Class 3), Solicitation to Meet a Child (Class
4) and Unlawful Grooming (Class 4). Lentz was identified as a suspect after a concerned mother contacted State’s Attorney Glasgow’s High Technology Crimes Unit regarding allegedly inappropriate text message conversations. The specialized investigative unit focuses on tracking down individuals who use the Internet and other technological devices to exploit children. The felony charges filed Monday allege the defendant, who is a coach for the Bolingbrook Raiders soccer club, used a cellular telephone to hold inappropriate text message conversations of a sexual nature with someone he believed to be a
minor. However, High Technology Crimes Unit investigators had taken over that minor’s text message account during the onemonth investigation. Bond was set at Monday at $250,000. The defendant must post 10 percent or $25,000 to secure his release while he awaits trial, and he must surrender his passport. As a condition of his bond, the defendant must not have contact with the Bolingbrook Raiders as well as with anyone under the age of 18. He also cannot use the Internet except for work purposes. The Will County State’s Attorney Office reminds the public that charges are not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Throughout the month of October, we celebrated Down Syndrome Awareness Month. This is a month where we learn to see Down syndrome, and other disabilities, as a gift and focus on an individual’s abilities. Just as the words “retard” or “retarded” are hurtful toward any of us with disabilities, these R-words are also hurtful when journalists neglect to use people-first language. Often times in the media - whether it be headlines, articles or brochures - writers use the term “disabled person.” Some writers or editors may feel it takes too many words to say “a person with a disability,” but this is not an excuse. When readers see “disabled” and then a person’s name, they see that person’s disability first. Those of us with an intellectual disability, or any type of disability, want society to see that we are a person first. The Associated Press is usually a credible source, but at times they too fail to use people-first language. In one example from March of last year, The Associated Press published an article with the headline “Little progress on jobs for disabled Americans.” This is an example of failing to use people-first language.
The photograph that accompanied this article is of a girl in a wheelchair and working in an office. Even though someone may have a disability, that person brings a value to the work world and to humanity. When you do not accept, include, or hire us for a job, you are missing out on all that we have to offer our world. In another article from January of this year, the StarNews told the story of Beau Wright, a 9-year-old boy who was born with Down syndrome and star of the film “Little Accidents.” The author of the article used people-first language, choosing the headline “Film featuring boy to premiere at Sundance.” This allows readers to see Beau as a person first and get to know his abilities without focusing exclusively on his intellectual disability. The author wrote, “Beau Wright, 9, who has Down syndrome, stars in ‘Little Accidents,’ a drama co-starring ‘The Hunger Games’ actress Elizabeth Banks.” The writer named the person before the adjective or descriptive phrase referring to the person’s disability. This is the type of people-first language all news organizations should follow. “Ifyouusethewords‘retard’or‘retarded’ to explain something that doesn’t make sense, then I would say to you that you do not have a very good command of the English language and you can do better,” said Rob Johnson, news anchor for CBS 2 Chicago. Throughout the year, thousands of people across the country join in on the Spread the Word to End the Word campaign, an international campaign that promotes respectful people-first language. “The cool thing about Spread the Word to End the Word is that there are
thousands of events across the country and everyone kind of does it a little bit differently,” said Tim Shriver Jr., 25, cofounder of the campaign. “Every event has a pledge banner where people sign and take the pledge to not only stop using the r-word themselves but to speak up when others use the word.” My name is Daniel Smrokowski and I too am an athlete and global messenger with Special Olympics Illinois. I was born three and one-third months premature and diagnosed with learning disabilities and a severe speech disorder. This means that it takes me longer to process information and to get words out, and I process concepts differently than people who are not diagnosed with an intellectual disability. In 2012, I received the Matthew Freeman Award for Social Justice from Roosevelt University, the Les Brownlee Scholarship from the Chicago Headline Club and my bachelor of arts degree in journalism. Because of the challenges that I face in my life and the challenges of those of my friends diagnosed with disabilities, the lack of people-first language and the use of the “r-word” are hurtful to us even when the word is not directed at us. I hope you will join me in choosing to use people-first language to make the world a more inclusive place for everyone. Daniel Smrokowski is an Athlete and Global Messenger with Special Olympics Illinois on the Southeast Association for Special Parks and Recreation (SEASPAR) team. He is also the Founder and CEO of Special Chronicles Nonprofit New Media Company, a pioneering network that gives respect and voice to people with special needs.

Community Service Council begins rehab of homes The rehabbed homes will be offered to anyone who goes through the CSC’s prepurchase counseling program By Laura Katauskas staff reporter
katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas
PHOTOS BY By Laura Katauskas
The Community Service Council of Northern Will County (CSC) was awarded a contract of $1.23 million to be paid in four installments. Over the past two months, the CSC has found three townhomes, one in each community of Bolingbrook, Plainfield and Romeoville.
Thanks to a state grant, a new home program to rehab properties is now helping reduce costs for potential home buyers while decreasing the number of foreclosures in the area. The Community Service Council of Northern Will County (CSC) was awarded a contract of $1.23 million to be paid in four installments. Over the past two months, the CSC has found three townhomes, one in each community of Bolingbrook, Plainfield and Romeoville.
Executive Director Bob Kalnicky said the CSC did a search in each community, focusing on properties that are foreclosed and vacant and that could be a blight on the community. The idea behind the program is to take some of the vacant homes off the market and sell to potential homeowners at cost. The three properties the CSC purchased are either two- or three-bedroom townhomes that needed cosmetic work. No structural damage was found to the buildings. The CSC is rehabbing the homes, complete with upgraded features including hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and other such highend amenities. The rehabbed homes will be offered to anyone who goes through the CSC’s pre-purchase counseling program. The mission of the council includes the preservation and promotion of home ownership and plans to use the funds by counseling clients on the home buying process as well. Applicants who go through the counseling program are not obligated to purchase the rehabbed homes but would most likely benefit from a home priced at cost. The program, “Your Home” is designed to assist home buyers to become home owners, assisting clients with a variety of areas specifically designed to suit their needs. All counseling is done in a one on one setting and information is kept confidential. Kalnicky said the CSC tries to provide the counseling and assistance that many people need and may not be aware of when purchasing a home and can stack multiple offers of assistance to make things much more affordable. Also, a huge component to the program is budgeting, walking a client through the process of how to make a home affordable. He said the group already has two pre-qualified potential buyers for the properties who have completed the program who may not have been able to purchase such a home without this grant

and the program. In addition, said Kalnicky, there are many other grants for down payment assistance that the CSC can help research for a new homeowner. Also key to the program, is reaching out for assistance as soon as possible. It can take anywhere from six months to a year to repair credit or work out any issues in the planned purchase of a home. Kalnicky sees the greater potential of this grant combined with its “Your Home” program, expecting it to grow quickly with the hope of sustaining the purchase of more homes each year. “This is a new endeavor for us as an agency, but so far we have not had any great surprises and it is running smoothly,” said Kalnicky. “We fully anticipate by this time next year, we will have 12 to 15 properties complete, if not more. We plan on recycling the funds into rehabbing homes and once we are fully through the process, we hope to do 25 homes a year.” The CSC applied for the grant early this year, allowing them to seek monies from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office that came from national foreclosure settlements in the excess of $70 million. The group will and will receive the remainder over a period of two years and be used to acquire, rehab and resell homes. For more information contact the CSC at 630-759-9494. The CSC was founded in 1973 as a social service agency serving residents of Bolingbrook, Romeoville and surrounding communities. CSC was incorporated as a 501(c) 3 nonprofit agency in 1978 and has an office located at 440 Quadrangle Drive, Suite C, Bolingbrook.

Caley Trepac steers ark of teddy bears toward kids at Rush Hospital
9
schools
Last year, Caley collected 771 stuffed animals By Pat Schager
for the enterprise
VVSD schools set to honor veterans with special events
news@enterprisepublications.com @PlainfieldNews
Everybody needs a teddy bear some time. Caley Trepac, who is 16 and a junior at Plainfield South high school, has 154 bears, dogs, unicorns and storybook dolls in just about every color of the rainbow. And Caley has been giving the animals away to kids who are pediatric patients in Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. When Caley was 14, she was diagnosed with Chiari malformation, a condition that causes part of the brain to push down into the opening to the spinal cord and upper spinal canal. The pressure can affect the functions controlled by these parts of the brain. She was diagnosed after suffering vision problems and headaches, according to a Rush University article. What was a teddy bear gift from a friend became Caley’s comfort during her stay at Rush. “While there, I saw so many children with serious problems who had nothing to hug and hang on to.” That’s when she decided her mission would be to distribute teddy bears to the Rush pediatric patients. Last year, Caley collected 771 stuffed animals donated from Facebook friends, local businesses, the Plainfield Public Library and even a rival high school volleyball team. When word spread, the family received financial donations toward the purchase of the stuffed animals from all over the area. This past Sunday, Caley and her family organized an “Ark Full of Stuffed Animals” at Jamison’s Pub in Joliet. Over 100 kids and their families and friends paid $11 to stuff a toy of their choice for the pediatric kids at Rush University Hospital. Grandma Carmen Maleck came from Chicago to bring her two granddaughters to help Caley’s cause. “I think we did five or six bears and unicorns and had a wonderful time,” she said.

The Trepac family, from left, brother Brett, father Jeff, mother Wendy, Caley, and brother Hunter, in front. So far, Caley has collected over 500 stuffed animals at home with even more in collection boxes in and around the area waiting to be picked up. And each stuffed animal holds a special secret – a silent wish from everyone who filled their bear or dog or unicorn with fluffy stuffing. Each animal, doll or bear is stuffed inside with love to put on Caley’s Ark. If you were unable to attend, but wish to help put an animal or two on Caley’s Ark, or would like to participate as a vendor, call Wendy Trepec (815) 577-8983 or Janet Palkon at (815) 729-1653. Caley, along with her friends, will be happy to hand stuff a bear filled with your special thoughts. There are other ways to participate as well: Usborne Books is selling bears for
$13. For every two purchased, one will be provided for free. Usborne will pay the shipping and tax charges. Donors also can give any amount they wish. For more information, contact, Jamie Rose Miller at 630292-3415, mybooklady@yahoo.com or on Facebook. Collection boxes are set up through Nov. 16 for those who want to donate new, stuffed animals at the following: Leap of Faith, 14210 S. Route 30, Unit 124 Plainfield; 1st Army Supply, 310 W Roosevelt Road, Lombard; Edward Jones, 5700 W. Caton Farm Road, Plainfield; Fuel Sports, 400 Earl Road, Shorewood; Zaker Family Vision, 9602 S.

Life in the FAST LAne Converted safety becoming feature runner for Raiders

When Isaac Lane transferred into Bolingbrook this season, he did so as a safety, ready to join the vaunted Raider defense. While he has spent some time on defense this year, Lane has become the feature back in the Bolingbrook offense, something he had not done in his years at Montini Catholic. “I was in certain packages like goal line packages,” Lane said of his time at running back. “But not like this. I like it as long as I can help the team out. That’s all I really care about. The O line is doing great. This feels great but we have more work to do.” Lane carried the ball 28 times to the tune of 165 yards and a touchdown in Bolingbrook’s 35-0 win at Bloom Trail in the opening round of the IHSA Class 8A playoffs. Being on the road for the opener of the second season is something the Raiders are not used to.

CARRIES FOR LANE IN THE WIN OVER BLOOM
“We have only been on the road (to open the playoffs) maybe three times since I can remember,” said Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow. “It’s humbling and it’s good I think to go on the road and it’s good to play on grass once in a while. We were able to sustain drives and get some things done and they were really making us work for it. This will hopefully pay dividends down the road.” It was the second year in a row the two teams had met to open the playoffs, with last year’s game being a 48-12 Bolingbrook win. However, the Raider defenders were happy with the shutout. “It feels great to get a win. You always have to be happy when you get a win. But we are not satisfied,” said linebacker Tuf Borland said. The win puts Bolingbrook at home next week against Oswego, who is 9-1 out of the Southwest Prairie Conference. The Panthers defeated Joliet West in round one.

Raider duo state-bound Pair of girls qualify for the first time in almost 30 years By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
Heading into last weekend’s IHSA cross country sectional hosted by Marist, it had been 29 years since Bolingbrook had sent a girls runner out of the sectional to the state meet. The Raiders again failed to send one girl to the state meet – instead breaking the streak with a pair of qualifiers. Bolingbrook will be represented by sophomore Trianna Rodriguez, who was 12thin 17:55.73 and sophomore Arianna Amill, who placed 16th in 18:01.13. Rodriguez’ 17:55 is believed to be a new school record. “I feel like I left it all out there, we prepared so much and last year I was .5 seconds away and I was not going to let someone pass me this year,” Rodriquez said. “I sprinted almost the whole race. I was happy with how it came out. I wasn’t going to be denied this year.” Amill said it took her a little bit to shake the nerves. “I was intimidated at first, but once you conquer your fear out there it is pretty fun,” she said. “The coaches have been telling us to dream big and not be afraid to take risks. The coaches told us when we got here there was nothing to lose.” Also scoring for the Raiders were a trio of juniors in Marissa Caputo (23rd, 18:18.39) and Yulissa Izaguirre (11th, 21:05.76). For Romeoville, the lone girl in the race, Viviana Diaz placed 72nd in the race in 19:28.94. “It was quick, there were no hills it was just flat it was pretty quick and I liked it,” Diaz said. “I was hoping to be in the 19:30s and I got 19:29. So I was pretty happy with my time. I had two goals, one was to pass a Plainfield South girl who I always ran next to all year and she has always beat me and I passed her at the end. So I got that goal down and my other goal was to PR and I PR’d by 20 seconds. I gave it all I had because I knew this could be my last time running so I gave

8A PLAYOFFS:
OSWEGO @ BOLINGBOOOK
The details: Bolingbrook is coming off a shutout of Bloom, while Oswego too care of the Raiders’ SouthWest Suburban Conference mate Joliet West.
Keys to the game: The Panthers have not seen a defense like the Raiders in years and the key will be hit Oswego in the mouth early and often.
Oswego entered the playoffs with only one loss, but has not played a team as talented as Bolingbrook.
The Raiders need to get Oswego back on its heels.
Oswego is getting back to full strength and could show Bolingbrook a solid offensive unit.
While Isaac Lane has been running the ball well for Bolingbrook, teams like Romeoville and Joliet West (pre the injury to Alex Tibble) showed the Panter defense can be passed pn.
game time 6 p.m. Satursday The student section and crowd will be in this one as well, as Bolingbrook returns to a night game they are always more comfortable.I also wonder what uniforms the Raiders wear? -compiled by Mark Gregory

Lewis
Flyer athletes earn Great Lakes Conference honors Lewis University junior Shelby Leonard (Sarasota, Fla./Sarasota) was named the PNC Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Swimming & Diving Athlete of the Week for her performance in a dual meet with Grand Valley State on Saturday (Nov. 1). Leonard won three individual events and helped Lewis to another win in the 200 medley relay. She earned two pool records along the way. It was Shelby’s first home meet after transferring from Indian River State College. The Flyers’ time of 1:49.54 in the 200 medley relay was a pool record. She swam the third leg of the event. Leonard won the
200 freestyle in 1:55.48 and 100 butterfly in 59.71. Her victory in the 200 backstroke came in a pool record time of 2:06.69. “I’m happy to see Shelby honored,” Lewis head coach Roger Karns said. “Our men and women both had a good meet against Grand Valley State and her honor is a reflection of that performance.” Grand Valley State finished last season ranked 10th in the nation. The Flyers host Valparaiso on Friday (Nov. 7) at 3 p.m. and are back in action the next day for a meet with Truman State and Lake Forest. The meet on Saturday will start at 11 a.m. Both are at the
Lewis Pool.
WOMEN’S SOCCER Top seeded and No. 4 in the nation UW-Parkside defeated No. 8 seeded Lewis in the quarterfinals of the 2014 Great Lakes Valley Conference women’s soccer tournament 3-0 on Sunday (Nov. 2) afternoon. The Rangers and Flyers played a scoreless first half thanks to a save by Lewis senior goalkeeper Mara Bennett (Portage, Mich./ Portage Central) on a penalty kick at 21:12. Bennett added a save on the rebound for good measure. It was a scoreless contest until the 63:19 mark when the Rangers broke through. Lauren Bialas scored on a scramble in front of the net for her first goal of the year. Ashley Meyer and Karley Mecko assisted on the goal. Jillian Hetfleisch put the Rangers up 2-0 on an unassisted goal at 75:17. The Rangers made it 3-0 at 79:13 on a goal by Taylor SchifferJander, assisted by Ashley Meyer. Counting the overtime-scoreless tie the Flyers and Rangers played to on Wednesday, Lewis held the fourth-ranked Rangers to zero goals for more than 160 minutes before the UW-Parkside broke through. “The biggest thing is we left everything out on the field,” Lewis head coach Chris Koenig said. “I’m very proud of this group. We would have liked to see this run go further but I think we ran into a little bit of a buzz saw today.
Parkside got their first goal off a set piece, where they are most dangerous. After that we were pushing bodies forward to try to get the equalizer and they caught us in transition.” Junior Jessica Chavez (Aurora, Ill./West Aurora) recorded four shots, three on goal for Lewis. Bennett finished with nine saves. UW-Parkside improves to 15-03 and moves onto the semifinals of the GLVC Tournament. The Rangers will host the semifinals and finals. “Parkside is the strongest team we’ve faced all season,” Koenig said. “They’re well coached and well organized.” The Flyers finish the season with a 5-7-6 record. • Lewis University senior goalkeeper Mara Bennett (Portage, Mich./Portage Central) was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week for the final week of the regular season, for helping her Flyers advance into the GLVC Tournament. Bennett recorded six saves in 100 minutes of play in a 0-0 tie at No. 4 UW-Parkside that was stopped short due to darkness on Wednesday. The scoreless draw was just the second time UWParkside had been shutout all season. The tie enabled Lewis to clinch the No. 8 seed in this week’s GLVC Championship Tournament, which was the Flyers’ second GLVC Tournament bid in the last three years after going 15 years without
a postseason appearance. The award is the first for the Portage, Michigan, native. She is the first Lewis defender to win the award since Allison Wilkerson on Oct. 19, 2004. The last time a Flyer standout earned a weekly award from the league office was Sept. 30, 2013 when Jessica Chavez (Aurora, Ill./West Aurora) was named GLVC Offensive Player of the Week. “I’m really happy for Mara to be recognized for her performance,” Lewis head coach Chris Koenig said. “She was strong getting off her line, handled crosses extremely well and came up with big saves to keep us in the match. She was a big part of us moving on to the tournament.” Bennett finished the season with six shutouts and 91 saves. The Flyers finished the regular season on a five-match unbeaten streak to earn the final spot in the GLVC Tournament. Lewis compiled a record of 5-7-6 overall in 2014.
MEN’S SOCCER The Lewis University men’s soccer team ended the two-year reign of Rockhurst University as the Great Lakes Valley Conference champions and exacted some revenge on the Hawks as the Flyers claimed the 1-0 win in a GLVC Quarterfinal match-up at Lewis Stadium on Sunday (Nov. 2) afternoon.

With the win, Lewis improves to 11-4-3 and takes on GLVC regularseason champion Quincy on Friday (Nov. 7) in Quincy. Starting time for that match has yet to be determined. Rockhurst ends the season with a record of 9-6-2. Lewis senior forward George Thomson (Kilmarnock, Scotland/ Reid Kerr College) provided the winning score for the Flyers, as he converted a penalty kick following a Rockhurst hand ball in the box at the 77:39 mark. The goal was Thomson’s career-best ninth tally. In the opening half, Rockhurst was aided offensively with a stiff breeze against their backs, as they outshot the Flyers, 17-3 and had

“S&T made fewer unforced errors than us at some key, opportune times when we had a chance to make to take charge of the match,” Lewis head coach Lorelee Smith said. Davito recorded her 38th ace of the season in the match. She now ranks seventh during the rally scoring era for aces in a season. She isn’t far behind Lauren Seliga’s rally scoring record of 44 aces in 2010. Missouri S&T improves to 1611 (11-5 GLVC). Lewis falls to 20-6 (12-4 GLVC). The Flyers have two contests remaining in the regular season. First up is UIS on Friday (Nov. 7) in a Senior Night match for the Flyers. Lewis then closes the regular season with a visit from McKendree on Saturday (Nov. 8) at 3 p.m.
eight corner kicks to Lewis’ zero. The Hawks, however, were unable to score. “We gave up eight corners, which was disappointing, but we hung in there heading into halftime,” Lewis head men’s soccer coach Evan Fiffles said. “I thought we played better in the second half. We settled down, created some chances and got our opportunity on the penalty kick and George (Thomson) put it away for us. “We’ll take that result against the two-time defending champions,” Fiffles said. “This is a big win for us.” Lewis goalkeeper Omar Ramirez (Houston, Texas/Elsik) posted five saves for his eighth shutout of the season. Rockhurst netminder Stefano Radio made six saves for the Hawks. As a team, Rockhurst outshot
Lewis women’s volleyball dropped just their second home match of the season on Sunday (Nov. 1) afternoon in a 3-1 setback to Great Lakes Valley Conference foe Missouri S&T. All four set scores were 25-21. The Flyers were led offensively by junior Alexis Davito (Crest Hill, Ill./Lockport)’s 12 kills. Senior Kim Vertin (Joliet, Ill./Joliet Central) also hit double-digit kills with 10. She added 16 digs for a doubledouble. The teams traded wins in the first two sets. Following a 10-minute intermission, the Miners came out of the break by scoring the first five points of the third set. The Miners eventually took a 9-2 lead. Lewis
the chute were, Justin Suits (79th, 16:11.99), Luis Loza (88th, 16:18.92), Mike Samuelson (96th, 16:31.92) and Matt Bush (99th, 16:33.28). Carlos Ibanez (114th, 16:51.23) and David Andrews (127th, 17:18.49) competed but did not score. After the race, the seniors looked back on their Spartan careers. “My four years this has been one helluva team,” Samuelson said. “These guys have been working hard finishing together and
running as a pack is what got us here. In the beginning we weren’t that strong and now they look up to us as role models. This has been a perfect team and I really wouldn’t want anyone else. These guys are my brothers and I love them to death. I am excited to move on and see where they finish in the future.” “We all worked hard as a team and it was great to finish as a team,” Loza said. “This course kinda beat me up a little bit but finishing with the seniors, that’s all that really
mattered.” For some of the seniors, they have been together since the beginning. “It has been a great four years working hard with everybody, especially Mike,” Bush said. “We have been running together since freshman year. It was great being able to finish right behind each other last week and then this week.” Valley View’s top male finisher was Bolingbrook senior Johnathon Cook who was 39th in 15:36.30.
He was followed by junior Bjorn Shroda. who was 73rd in 16:07.43. “We were hoping Jon would do real well. He had beaten some of the kids that qualified. But it happens,” said Bolingbrook coach Art Pahl. “Last week we were sick at regionals and that impacted us big time and that is why our team is not here. Bjorn ran well and that is a good thing for next year. We will be young next year because we lose a lot of seniors but most of the guys coming back were here so it was a good experience for them to see.”
we saw the way the bracket shaped up,” Borland said. “But we can’t worry about that. We have to be focused on ourselves and preparing ourselves for next week. We are working hard every day at practice running to the ball and doing all the little
things.” The Raiders (7-3) scored on their first possession when Lane ran in from seven yards out. Julian Huff had one of his two scores in the game on a one-yard plunge and Borland then got in on the
offensive fun, as he caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Adam Klein with to go into halftime up 21-0. “It is fun playing offense a little,” Borland said. “Not always being in there banging heads with people.”
The Raiders took the opening kickoff and drove the ball downfield, where Klein found Quincy Woods from 27 yards out. Woods caught three passes for 101 yards, while Klein finished the day 8 of 12 for 163 yards and two touchdowns.

rallied to within one at 17-16, but could never catch the Miners. Lewis began the fourth set with an 8-3 advantage. However the Miners were able to rally back. It was a 16-11 Lewis lead when the tide changed. Missouri S&T put together three straight points to make it a two-point game. Lewis sided out on a kill by freshman Aly Schneider (Granger, Ind./Penn), but then Missouri S&T went on a 5-0 run to take a 19-17 lead. Lewis asked for time and a Missouri S&T service error followed, but the Miners would never relinquish the lead. They scored three straight points following the service error. Missouri S&T’s Allison Mueller led all players with 16 kills. Libero Jackie Pyles had 26 digs for the Miners. Missouri S&T out-hit Lewis .208 to .161.

JULIE Inc. wins first place for Massage Envy to provide partnership with forest preserve ‘Massages For Military’ JULIE stands for the Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators
JULIE Inc. recently won a first place Best Friend of Illinois Parks award from the Illinois Association of Park Districts. The non-profit was honored for its work as a corporate sponsor for many Forest Preserve District of Will County events. “We are grateful to JULIE and its employees for their continued support of Forest Preserve programs and activities,” said Don Gould, president of the district’s board. JULIE stands for the Joint
Utility Locating Information for Excavators. Based in Joliet, it provides Illinois excavators, homeowners and underground utility owners with a message handling and delivery service committed to protecting underground utilities and the safety of people working or living nearby. “As a not-for-profit organization celebrating 40 years of damage prevention this year, we are very proud and excited to receive the Best Friend of Illinois Parks award,” said Kevin Chmura, spokesman for JULIE. “Our proactive outreach and safety program with the Forest Preserve District of Will County is a critical step in preventing damage to underground utilities in the state of Illinois. This successful partnership allows us to educate
and inform homeowners and contractors about our mission and the importance of calling JULIE before any type of digging project.” The partnership began in 2010 when the company sponsored a community volunteer workday to help publicize National Safe Digging Month, which reminds homeowners and professional excavators to call JULIE at 8-1-1 before digging. JULIE expanded its partnership two years ago when it became a district-wide sponsor of forest preserve special events. JULIE has contributed $10,500 to the district for these family programs, including the Ride the Rock bike ride and festival and the Music at McKinley Outdoor Concert and Car Show, among others.
