Protecting our youth Valley View talks security in wake of Newtown tragedy

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The tragedy in Connecticut shocked the nation, and its ramifications are surfacing in school districts across the country.

As students return from winter break, they will be met with additional safety measures in place at all Valley View School District 365U schools.

Knowing every child is safe once they walk through the halls of their schools is the main priority of school administrators and parents alike and was the purpose of a recent town hall meeting.

At first response to the

tragedy, Valley View issued a strict no-visitors policy, but officials relaxed some of the rules after considerable anger from parents. The purpose of the town hall was to gather further input and assure the community the school district was doing everything to keep students safe.

Leroy Brown, head of security for the district, said there is an increased presence of VVSDtrained and employed security staff in schools.Both Bolingbrook and Romeoville police will continue increased patrols outside school, he added.

Bolingbrook continues Candidates Shop with a Cop gear up for

Sergeant Rich Hilliard and Naomy Ramierez shop at the Bolingbrook Meijer during the police department’s annual Shop with a Cop program.

Hilliard met Ramierez, and they instantly bonded, said Lt. Mike Rompa.

“Naomy was so thankful for the whole opportunity, she told Rich that she now knew Santa Claus was real,” Rompa said.“She only wanted the Barbie pictured below, the rest was for her family.

Upon entering the register, the cashier started crying and told Rich - this is what Christmas is all about. Rich said it touched his heart, and Naomy reminded him of his family as well. When they were done wrapping, Naomy hugged Rich and would not let go.”

Rompa said the department looks forward to this event each holiday season.

“They know this has a positive impact on the Bolingbrook Community,” Rompa said. “By enhancing relationships as we do with this program, it will enable us to communicate with them later in life.The police versus the public is removed, we all unite as

one.

“Perhaps this will enable a participant to reach out to the police for help in lieu of doing something tragic during tough times, later in life. Although this seems simple to most, it is significant to some.”

New Year means new Illinois laws On the books for the New Year are 150 new laws for Illinois residents, many to help keep children and the elder safer. They include:

Caylee’s Law Responds to the nationally covered case surrounding the death of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony, whose mother, Casey, failed to report her daughter missing and then lied about circumstances surrounding the child’s disappearance and death.

Increases penalties for failure to report the disappearance or death of a child 13 years or younger within 24 hours (one hour if younger than two years). Expands the obstruction of justice definition to parents, guardians or caretakers of a child younger than 13 who provide false information to law enforcement or other authorities investigating the child’s disappearance or death. Includes Department of Healthcare and Family Services/ Department of Human Services/ Department of Children and Family Services social workers, case workers and investigators in the offense of threatening a public official, if the threat was specific to the individual.

Cell Phone Ban Extends the ban on cell phone use when driving in construction or maintenance zones to all projects, not just those with a reduced speed limit.

Child Luring Increases the victim’s age in the child luring statute from younger than 16 to younger than 17. Also, if the victim was traveling to or from school, it allows for felony 2 prosecution when the victim is 17 or younger. This was prompted by

a DuPage County case in which a 17-year-old student was on her way to school and was being followed by a sex offender in a van. The van was stopped by the police but they could only charge him with disorderly conduct because the current child luring statute applies to minors 16 and younger.

Child Sex Offender Changes the definition of “child sex offender,” as it relates to residency and location restrictions, to include certain sex offenses where the victim was younger than 18 at the time of the offense. Adds Du Page “bikeway” and “trail” to the definition of “public park” and eliminates a redundant statutory cross reference. Also includes a provision that allows persons to have their records cleared of a reckless driving conviction once they reach age 25, if they have had no other reckless driving or DUI charges or arrests.

Child Support Payments Provides the court with additional methods to pursue child support from a parent who is found guilty of contempt for failure to comply with an order to pay child support, and who conducts a business or is self-employed. Self-employed individuals cannot have their wages garnished. Requiring these individuals to provide monthly financial statements, provide detailed written accounts about job-search efforts, and/or report to the Department of Employment Security for job search services, may help individuals obtain

the employment they need to provide support or provide incentive for these individuals to pay their support.

Driver Education Sets the stage for new standards for driver education in Illinois. Opponents raised concerns the legislation would lead to new restrictions on private instruction schools.

Elderly Exploitation: Seeks to make it easier to prosecute cases involving financial exploitation of an elderly person or a person with a disability. Allows prosecutors to freeze assets of the defendant for purposes of restitution for the victim.

Adds criminal intimidation to the definition of intimidation.

Includes a paid or unpaid caregiver for the elderly person or person with a disability to the definition of a person who stands in a position of trust and confidence.

Facebook/Social Media Privacy

residents who possess firearms to obtain a FOID card. Enhances mental health reporting by courts to ISP. Addresses Amish religious concern regarding photographs. Provides more accountability for seized/ confiscated/revoked cards being returned to ISP. Amends provisions regarding judicial review of ISP Director’s decision to deny a request for relief from a person who has been denied a FOID Card.

‘Oxy’ Dealers Provides for increased penalties for dealing in certain prescription pain killers containing hydrocodone, dihydrocodeinone, dihydrocodeine or oxycodone.

Proposed by the Cook County State’s Attorney in response to a case in which a Skokie pharmacist charged with diverting about 70,000 pills of prescription pain killers faced only a maximum penalty of two to five years in prison.

Home Loans

Prohibits employers from requesting or requiring any current or prospective employee to provide any account information, including passwords, in order to gain access to the employee’s social networking website.

Creates new definitions and rules for High Risk Home Loans which mainly comply with existing federal law. Creates new definitions and rules for Tax Refund Anticipation Loans and Tax Refund Anticipation Checks.

FOID Cards

Scrap Metal Theft

Makes a number of changes to state FOID laws. Clarifies the law to ensure people who have been convicted of a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence” are not issued FOID cards. Restricts issuance of FOID cards for non-Illinois residents. Outlines protocol for new, eligible

Addresses the growing problem of metal theft by strengthening record-keeping requirements to make it more difficult to sell stolen metal, requiring greater proof that the seller owns the scrap metal and by providing tougher criminal penalties for selling or buying stolen scrap metal. Records of

transactions must be retained for three years instead of two years.

Non-Violent Offenders Creates a voluntary 12-month diversion program to allow persons charged with certain felony offenses such as burglary, felony theft, felony retail theft, forgery, or possession of a stolen vehicle, cannabis, controlled substances or methamphetamine to complete a program, instead of going to prison.

Sex Predators Provides that any person who is convicted of luring a minor is considered a sexual predator.

Currently, persons must be convicted twice before being declared a sexual predator.

Telephone Billing Ban Prohibits a third-party vendor from billing a consumer for goods or services that will appear as a charge on a consumer’s telephone bill.

Called “phone cramming,” this is a growing problem where people are solicited for free trials, coupons or prizes, but never told they’re purchasing a service and then they are later billed.

Underage Drinking Parent Penalties Cracks down on parents or guardians who permit underage drinking on property they own. Makes it a crime to allow underage drinking not only at a parent’s or guardian’s home, but also on property under their control, including a barn, cabin, boathouse, etc

Cancer network donates teddy bears to hospitals for Christmas Hospitals are never a fun place for a child, but at the holidays, being a patient can be especially tough. Thanks to a local organization, children at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital are receiving a special holiday gift.

The Egypt Cancer Network, a U.S. based non-profit that helps further cancer education, research and care, as well as medical infrastructure in Egypt, along with the National Arab American Medical Association is donating teddy bears to the hospital, just in time for Christmas. The organization has set up collection points around the community and is accepting new teddy bears to donate to the hospitals.

“We hope these teddy bears can help reduce stress, anxiety and boredom and help children recover faster,” Egypt Cancer Network Chicago Chapter President Mary Alexander-Basta said. “It’s part of our mission to provide support to organizations focused on cancer and patient

care. We hope we make a child’s holiday a little brighter.”

The bears will be given to the pediatric and emergency departments within the hospital.

“We appreciate this generous donation so much,” said Ronda Klocko of Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital.“For an organization to donate something that will help children in all of our hospitals is very special. It truly epitomizes the meaning of Christmas.”

Adventist Midwest Health includes Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, Adventist GlenOaks Hospital, Adventist Hinsdale Hospital and Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital. To find a physician, visit www. keepingyouwell.com.

Physicians on the medical staff of Adventist Midwest Health Hospitals are independent contractors, and are not agents of the hospitals.

SAFETY Continued from page 1 volunteers and visitors will be admitted to schools, officials said. However, each visitor will be required to sign in, state the purpose of the visit and sign out when leaving. A visitor will be restricted to the area in which the school/classroom event or the volunteer effort is taking place. School administrators will set the specific parameters for each visit.

“For those that say we do not want this to be like a prison—it is not,” said Brown. “But we are not concerned about that—we are concerned about the safety of children ... Some people may not like it, but we are doing what it takes to protect them.”

Bolingbrook Police Chief Kevin McCarthy spoke of the cooperation between the school district and the police department. The police officers in both Bolingbrook and Romeoville are all trained in rapid deployment and trained specifically for such situations, he said.

“This is the best securityminded school district I have ever worked with, and the cooperation level between the district and police is outstanding,” said McCarthy.

“We have the same goal—we do the best we can every day to keep your kids safe.”

Until further notice, the doors to every classroom in the school district will remain locked from the inside while class is in session. No one will be able to enter from outside the room unless the teacher opens the door. Students will still be able to exit. In addition, the main entrance doors to all school offices will remain locked throughout the day.

Superintendent James Mitchem said he would make no apologies for those measures, reiterating that research shows if the door is locked, an individual will move on.

“I want to know that we are doing everything we can to prevent a tragedy and putting up a roadblock to stop it. Some people may not like that, but we live in a different world,” said Mitchem.

A safety audit will be

completed at each school to identify any safety needs and the most significant issues will be handled first. The audit is expected to take four months. However any pressing needs will be taken care of accordingly.

Mitchem said expense will not be a factor, and that proper budgeting will be done to ensure that if additional security is needed, it can be instituted.

Various measures were discussed, including the placement of a buzzer emergency system at each school and communication tools for teachers within the classrooms, items that may be the first to be installed.

Many parents spoke up about the need for student IDs to be worn and used for entrance in the schools. Mitchem said the logistics to require entry into the school only with an ID, could not feasibly be done and still have a 7 a.m. start for school.The district is reviewing current visitor procedures for former students who will be allowed access to buildings only before or after school, and only if the visit is pre-arranged

through the school office.

Parents who come to school to pick up children must wait in the office until a school staff member brings the child to the office.

Everyone who enters a school will be required to provide identification and sign in.

Further safety initiatives will continue or be put in place.

The school district plans to hold a hard lockdown drill this month at each school. Random “magnetic wanding” searches will take place on a regular basis at both high schools and all five middle schools.

No home-cooked food products may be brought into a building for the purpose of sharing with other students.

However, store-bought,

individually-packaged food products may be brought into the school for sharing. School personnel will also be allowed to purchase food from an outside source to bring into the classroom.

Similar measures were taken at school districts throughout the area, including the Diocese of Joliet Catholic Schools, ensuring safety practices in place will continue and be reviewed. With 22,000 students in 48 elementary and seven high schools, the district controls limited access to buildings: school doors are locked at all times; entry for visitors is designated through a main entrance and continuously monitored; and regular lock downs and safety drill protocols are practiced.

Letter to the Editor

A Story We All Need to Hear “Would you like to help a kid with cancer?” I asked.“No.”Those were the words that were being said on October 20, 2012, in front of a Carson’s mall door where the 4-H 4 Joy Club of Bolingbrook was fundraising for St. Baldrick’s.“Not today, maybe later, I don’t have any cash, I already have a coupon “ (apparently people hadn’t heard of donating) and just plain “No”. These were the answers of the people who actually cared to listen to us.

Most people just tried to either dodge us, ignore us or all of a sudden had an urgent phone call. This shocked the 4-Hers fundraising that day. The two 4-Hers who were working at the time were Maria Schilder and Angelica Lebron. We were surprised by how many people were reluctant to help.

The 4-Hers were selling Carson’s coupons to raise money for St. Baldrick’s. St. Baldrick’s is an institute that researches and finds cures for pediatric cancer.

The coupons cost $5. Only $5 to help save a child’s life, and to ease their pain while they are fighting off this deadly disease that will eventually kill them if a cure is not found.

Five dollars is nothing to an American! A chicken wrap from McDonalds costs $3.99 plus tax, a foot long sub sandwich from

Subway costs $5.

People are willingly ready to shed $5 bucks or more to satisfy their hunger, but they will not donate $5 to help a child in need. In fact, when someone did buy a Carson’s coupon, it wasn’t because they were intentionally helping St. Baldrick’s, it was because of what they would get back in return from the coupons.

The coupons cost $5, but you get $10 off on any $10 item. That’s what got people’s attention, not the satisfaction of helping a child in need. October 20th was probably one of the saddest days of my life.

After we got back from the mall I just cried. I couldn’t believe how heartless people were. Do you know what it’s like to ask someone if they would like to help a child that is dying from cancer and they look you in the face and say no? It was heartbreaking. There were a few kind souls out of the many, many people we asked that day who donated. I know those people will be abundantly blessed. But all that kept going through my head that day was, what if I was one of those kids that was dying from cancer and I heard people say, “No, I don’t want to help you”. It is simply heartbreaking.

I don’t care about the coupons or what organization sells the

Illustrated Opinions

most; I care about raising sufficient amounts of money for the children in need. Especially since October is National Breast Cancer awareness month and the media has done a great job in publicizing the need for a cure, I really thought people would be more willing and generously contribute to an institute that is dedicated to researching and finding cures for pediatric cancer.

And who doesn’t like children?

I want the children with cancer to continue living and live with joy and to have the opportunity to enjoy the upcoming holidays.

Even though October 20, 2012, was one of the saddest days for me, it was also one of the most inspiring. It inspired me to do my best so that I can help kids in need. I want to excel in my education so that I can get a great job that will enable me to become a philanthropist. In becoming a philanthropist, I won’t have to worry about all the people rejecting to help others; I can make sure it happens by donating large sums of money and time to make sure there is a difference in a child’s life.

I hope this article inspires others to go out there and help others.

Angelica Lebron, 4-H 4 Joy Club, Bolingbrook.

H o ro s c o p e s Share guilty pleasures with friends. You can forgive yourself for lapses in diet when surrounded by piles of good things to eat and drink in the week to come.

Make merry while holiday spirit reigns supreme.

Recent unbridled spending may have put a dent in your wallet, but you are having so much fun you don’t care. Home, family and pursuing personal pleasures might take up all your time in the week ahead.

Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. In the coming week, you can listen to your heart as well as what other people say. You could find ways to help someone live up to a New Year’s resolution.

Make the rest of your life the best of your life. With the New Year just around the corner, it is time to make a powerful resolution. Your focus is on close personal relationships as the week unfolds.

Fan the flames. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Getting ahead in career, work or business is your primary passion, even when your schedule in the week ahead is filled with fun-filled holiday frolics.

A new toy may have created a monster. Your passion for a plaything or hobby could take up every waking moment in the upcoming week. Learning new techniques may entail unsurpassed self-discipline.

Short and sweet. In the week to come, you might make some New Year’s resolutions, but know that you need to temper them with common sense. You can succeed by aiming for achievable goals.

Let go and grow. There is a difference between giving up and knowing when you have had enough. In the week to come, make a New Year’s resolution that supports your need to let go of bad habits.

Charity starts at home.

In the week ahead, your optimism and easygoing nature draw others closer. You are in your element when surrounded by family and can horse around without criticism.

Stick to competitions involving table games. No matter how ambitious you are, the only way you can build a monopoly in the week ahead is with play money.

Gamble with matches, not money.

Play nice. The latest amusements, games and pleasures may be fascinating, but it isn’t necessary to be overly competitive in the week ahead. Indulging in a secret fantasy could prove disappointing.

The same old routines won’t cut the mustard. Having unique experiences is forecast this week, so turn off the TV and try out some of the new toys under the tree. Make plans to visit friends.

Raiders go 3-1 at McDipper

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When the Bolingbrook basketball team is going well, it is often because other members of the team are stepping up to help SMU-bound senior Ben Moore.

That was what happened during the 40th Annual McDipper Holiday Tournament at Rich South High School in Richton Park.

In fact, Moore did not lead the Raiders in scoring at all as they won the consolation championship in the tournament.

It was Bolingbrook’s third straight trip to the consolation title game and first win.

To earn the title, Bolingbrook beat SouthWest Prairie Conference foe Joliet Central 8064.

C.J. Redmond and Kenny Williams paced the team with 17 points each, while Prentiss Nixon had 13 and Moore had a double-double of 11 points and 13 rebounds.

In the game prior to that, Williams tallied 19 points in a 7861 win over Chicago Phillips.

Kendall Guyton had 15 and Moore and Nixon posted 12 each.

The three wins in a row saw the Raiders post four players in double digits, as the first one came in a 73-57 win over Thornton.

Guyton led the way with 17 points , while Nixon added 16, Moore had 15 and Williams had 14.

“We did a good job of sharing the ball today,” said Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost after the Thornton win.“Much better than we did yesterday and we played arguably a better team today than we did yesterday.We just need to continue to get better and when you have four guys in double figures, we are hard to beat. We had four guys in double figures four different games (before the tournament) and if we can keep that trend going, there will be good things ahead for us.”

The day before, the Raiders fell 67-62 to Chicago King, putting them in the consolation bracket.

“I am happy with how we bounced back,” Brost said. “We didn’t want to be playing at 9 a.m. (in the consolation bracket), but I told the guys it is what it is and we have to bounce back. To their credit, they did that today.”

Spartans have strong showing at Montini Christmas Tourney

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

After jumping out to an 18-9 lead after the first quarter over Batavia Friday, Dec. 28 at the Montini Christmas Tournament, Romeoville found itself down 29-23 at the half.

The second half the Spartans took control of the game and cruised to a 67-53 win, moving them into the fifth place game in the 16-team tournament.

Kiera Currie, Angelica Osusky

and Abby Smith each had 17 points in the win.

“I think we were a little tired from last night,” Currie said.

“Then at halftime coach was telling us what was going on, who the shooters were and he changed up the defense a little bit. I think we all stepped up to what he wanted.”

“When we went into the meeting at halftime, coach was telling us we looked a little slow,” Smith said. “Something clicked with us and we all came

out in the third quarter and started running and apparently it worked because we got the lead up again. We’ve been told we go on streaks sometimes and we are trying to change that.”

“I think we were in a little slump in the second quarter and they hit some big shots,” Osusky said. “We knew we had to step it up.”

The second half adjustments were huge for Romeoville.

Flyers ranked fifth in preseason poll The Lewis University men’s volleyball team opens the 2013 season ranked No. 5 in the preseason American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) NCAA Division I-II Poll, the AVCA released on Friday (Dec. 28).

“The guys, past and present, have worked hard to build this program,” Lewis head men’s volleyball coach Dan Friend said.

“It is nice to be recognized as to what we are capable of.

“Now, we need to go out and produce at that level.”

Lewis was selected as the preseason favorite to win the 2013 Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA) title, the conference announced on Tuesday (Dec. 18), in a leaguewide vote of coaches.

“It’s great to be recognized by the other teams in the league,” Friend said. “I know this year’s group is excited and looks forward to the challenge.”

The Flyers also had a leagueleading three selections on the 2013 MIVA Preseason All-

Conference Team in outside hitters Jay Petty and Geoff Powell and Boldog.

“To have three guys recognized for their potential and the work they have put in only helps to put our team in a great position,” Friend said.

Petty earned 2012 Volleyball Magazine All-America Second Team honors and was named to the AVCA All-America Second Team and to the All-MIVA First Team, leading the Flyers to a 26-7 record and berth in the National

Semifinals.The redshirt senior led the Flyers with 421 kills, 160 digs, 35 aces and 68 total blocks in 105 sets in 2012.

Boldog was also named to the AVCA All-America Second Team and to the All-MIVA First Team after he compiled 1151 assists to average 10.75 assists per set, 113 digs and 92 total blocks in 107 sets last season.

Powell was named the 2012 MIVA Freshman of the Year and to the NCAA All-Tournament Team.

The redshirt sophomore had 223

kills, 94 digs, 39 total blocks and 19 aces in 89 sets of play.

figures, only Nixon (4-of-7 from three-point land) scored the bulk of his shots from the perimeter.

The guard trio of Nixon, C.J. Redmond and freshman Devon Sams did a good job getting the ball into Moore and Williams, while Guyton used penetration to get to the hoop, finishing four shots with explosive dunks.

“This is how we want to play,” said Nixon.“Get the big men the ball in the post and when they collapse, they can kick out for

an open three. It is good to have them fall because that really opens the lane for the big guys.

We just really want to get Ben and K Dub the ball as much as we can.”

With so much attention on Moore, Williams had several easy looks, as he also led all players with 15 rebounds and three blocked shots.

“It helps us a lot because Ben attracts a lot of attention and leaves the back side open for us,”

Williams said. “We are waking up.We weren’t playing our game to our best ability. We have to keep learning and keep gaining experience.”

For Nixon and Williams, they are finally having their open shots fall.

“We have to remember that with the exception of Ben, we are pretty inexperienced as far as varsity basketball, so there are ebs and flows,” Brost said. “Our guys have to understand that

we are not going to play great every minute of every game and our guys have to work through that. We have to do that more so mentally than physically.”

In the tournament opener against King,Nixon tallied a teambest 22 points, while Moore and Guyton added 13 points each and Williams posted eight.

Moore had seven rebounds and Williams had six for Bolingbrook.

Continued from page 13 9 a.m. game in two days, Bolingbrook came out hot, running out to a 10-3 lead before Thornton could get going.

“We played great offensively and we made some adjustments defensively in the second half,” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “We went to a diamond-

and-one with Angelica and we did that against Hinsdale South as well. Angelica is a pit bull.

She has been unbelievable for us this year. Without her I don’t know where we would be right now.”

The shooting and ball movement in the second half were both keys to success for the Spartans as Osusky knocked down a pair of threes right away in the second half to get back into the game.

“I think it was really big considering the second quarter we scored like five points,” Osusky said. “My teammates really helped me out,distributing the ball and not only looking for me but for other players as well.

It definitely helps our inside-out game. We can then get the ball in to Kiera and she can do her thing and she’s a tremendous passer so she can kick it out to one of her teammates.”

“It all starts with the outside shots,” Carrasco said. “Angelica was hitting some threes and then Bri (Harris) knocked a couple down and Abby hit one. When you start to hit the outside shot, it has to open up something.

“The talk at halftime was to move the ball because we were standing around and passing back-and-forth.”

Smith was sharp from the foul line down the stretch, hitting

Neil Carey Arena.

The Flyers improve their season record to 7-1 after their fourthstraight win, while the Peacocks fall to 3-9.

“Coming out with a win is a huge accomplishment for us,” Lewis head women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen said.“We knew Upper Iowa was going to come out hard and they were scrappy for all 40 minutes.”

Henley added nine boards and made 10-of-11 free throws in her high-scoring affair, stepping in when sophomore forward Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./ Bloomington Central Catholic) was whistled for her second foul early in the first half.

The teams exchanged the lead six times in the first half.

Upper Iowa built a seven point lead midway through the period before Lewis was able to regain their footing and take a five-point lead at 30-25 on a Sam Rinehart

six straight free throws to build the lead.

“Yesterday I didn’t make them and the last couple days I’ve been struggling,” Smith said. “I just had to go to the free throw line confident and when I do good things happen.”

Romeoville opened with a 4544 win over Hinsdale South as Currie poured in 18 points. The Spartans then fell to conference rival Plainfield East 54-53, despite 33 from Currie and 11 from Osusky.

“This was probably good for us, as much as it hurts to say,” Smith said of the loss to the Bengals. “Now we know what we are up against and we bounce back well. Hopefully come conference time we’ll know what we need to do and do it.”

“The (East) game was definitely a letdown, but at the same time it gave us a boost,” Currie said.

“It will make us work harder to win next time because we have a lot to prove.”

Overall, the tournament provided stiff competition for the Spartans in their first year at the tournament. That should pave the way for future success the rest of the season.

“I think this is making us a lot stronger mentally and physically because we are playing bigger people and there is more competition,” Currie stated. “It

The Peacocks got within one point but the Flyers were able to head into halftime with an 11-point lead, 42-31, shooting over 50% from the field (.552; 1629) and from the free throw line (.533; 8-15).

In the second half, the Flyers lead ballooned out to 24 points with two free throws from Rinehart at the 12:03 mark. As the Peacocks tried to chip at the Flyers’ lead, they were unable to get it under 10 points.

Guards Alexus Grayer (Washington, Ill./Washington) and Alyssa Dengler (Chicago, Ill./ Trinity) had a big night off the bench for the Flyers.

Grayer scored 12 points, all from beyond the arc, while Dengler scored a career-high five points, hitting a jump shot and a three-pointer.

Reinhart finished with 11 points and four rebounds in 18 minutes of action.

is really getting us ready for conference.”

“I think it’s going to help a lot,” Osusky added. “It helps our mental toughness and we know we have the ability to play great teams. This is in one of the top tournaments in Illinois, so it’s great to be here and play other great teams.

“We knocked off our nonconference games and played in the Oak Lawn Tournament. I think this tournament is really helping us and shows us where we need to improve.”

They were happy with the way they played and competed in the tournament.

“It’s unbelievable the way the girls have played,” Carrasco stated. “The girls came together and are making big strides. I really think this is going to help us in the long run.”

Bengals hold tight against Montini

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Last year Plainfield East finished its season with a 25-point loss to Benet in a regional final.

Friday, Dec. 28 the Bengals (131) finally lost their next game, falling 58-51 to three-time Class 3A state champ Montini at the Montini Christmas Tournament.

The progress from last year though isn’t just shown in their win-loss record, it was shown in the level of competitiveness between their two losses.

“We have a lot of resolve this year,” East coach Missy Mitidiero said.“Right now we’re playing to win and in previous years they were playing not to lose. They have a different mindset this year and that is to fight. We couldn’t ask for anything different.Yea, we wanted to win, but we played a great game.”

“We got some new players and we’re strong,” East senior guard Nina Maggio said.“We play as a team. This gives us a lot of momentum.There’s a lot of good teams in this tournament.”

While East allowed Benet to run away from them in that game last year, it wouldn’t allow for that to happen again.

The Bengals overcame an early 10-2 deficit to take a 13-10 lead, only to see foul trouble drop them behind 30-20 at the half.

That lead grew to 44-30 in the third quarter before East made its run.

They scored the final nine points of the quarter to cut the deficit to five, despite Nikia Edom picking up her fourth personal foul. Just 40 seconds into the fourth quarter Faith Suggs picked up her fourth foul after getting the Bengals to within two on a three-pointer. Two minutes later the lead was built to seven, 49-42, as Gabby Williams picked up her fourth foul.

“We love to foul, that’s been our big thing,” Mitidiero stated.

“We have to stop that and stop some of the turnovers here and there, but our kids are doing a good job.”

Despite all the adversity, the Bengals wouldn’t quit, cutting

the lead to three at 52-49 and again at 54-51 with two minutes left. They had several chances to cut the lead to one or tie the score, but couldn’t convert.

“Until the game is over, we never give up,” Mitidero said.

“That’s what makes me so proud to coach these guys.They are that team that can come back. Right now we are hopefully moving up in everything we are doing.”

Maggio led the way with 16 points, Williams scored 11, seven in the fourth quarter, while Edom and Suggs scored 10 points apiece.

“Nina has been huge for us,” Mitidiero said. “The other teams don’t look for her to score. Now they have to guard Nikia, Faith, Nina and Gabby, they can’t leave anyone open. Gabby fought back real hard and played with a lot of energy and emotion.”

East opened the tournament with a 65-52 win over Oak ParkRiver Forest as Suggs tallied 18 points, Maggio had 14, Williams 13 and Edom 12. Edom had 20, Williams 13 and Suggs 11 in a 5453 win over Romeoville.

“It was a huge win,” Mitiderio said of the comeback victory over Romeoville. “It stinks that we have to play them now three times in our season, but at the same time, they are a great team and are well-coached. They are our rivals right now, so it was nice to get an early win off them.”

The Bengals have a lot to take away from the tournament, known as one of the toughest in the state.

“We were fired up,” Maggio said. “We came out strong. They were playing a 2-3 zone, so all we had to do was shoot. We showed a lot of heart. Whenever we’re down all we have to do is fight and keep coming back.”

“I wanted to be in this tournament because it really prepares us for what we see outside of our regular season play,” Mitidiero said. “That’s what we need. We don’t have enough of that. It’s a great opportunity to play some of these teams. There are some great teams here.This is our checkpoint.” staylor@enterprisepublications.com

Interpersonal Edge advice from 2012 As loyal readers know, at the end of each year I summarize the advice I gave over the year into one practical wisdompacked column. Thank you for sharing your struggles, insights and victories!

So, dear readers, here you go, and Happy Interpersonal Edge Holidays!

-Be intentional about what you want. Before you enter a communication, consider the specific outcome you want. If you want there to be coffee when you get to the break room, don’t make vague, negative statements such as, “Stop being thoughtless,” or “Don’t use the last of the coffee.” Instead, try, “When I arrive at 8 a.m., I’d like coffee in the pot.”

-If you can’t figure out what you want in your career,use your “magic wand” to imagine what your job and workplace would be like if you could simply make it so. Watch the YouTube video of what happens next.

The more concretely you know

what you want, the better your chances of getting it.

- S k i p the blame preamble before you ask for what you want.

People don’t help people who blame them - period! As satisfying as it is to get an apology, most people won’t cough up remorse for not doing what you want. You get to pick between chasing an admission of guilt or going straight for results.

-Stop waiting for people at work to do the right thing because you asked. Instead, always, always communicate an optional unpleasant consequence with a request.

Consider this approach: “There are two choices on this report: If I get it by 8 a.m., you get to present your ideas to the board.

If I get it later, your ideas won’t

be part of the proposal.”

-Accept narcissism as a workplace reality. People do what they do because they believe it is in their best interests. Many find this both unacceptable and annoying.

Nevertheless, objecting to reality will never change it, and it may inconvenience you. Instead, appeal to the underlying interests of others to get what you want.

-Look for opportunities to leave people in a better position than the one in which you found them. Everyone responds to others who have an authentic desire to benefit them. If you try to manipulate people with no genuine interest in their well-being, you will get nothing. If you try to manipulate people with the same techniques but actually want to help them, the world is your oyster!

-Irrationality rules the workplace. We may pretend we are doing things for rational

reasons, but the truth is that the heart, not the head, is where the power resides in your workplace.

-Get to know the last great frontier: your own heart. The only way to unlock the mystery of other people is to get to know yourself profoundly and thoroughly. If you understand your own heart, the motivations of others will be easy for you to understand.

-If you’re having a really bad day, do everything you’ve been avoiding. Since it is hard to fall off the floor, start to use your bad days to become bold. How much worse can it get, eh?

Languedoc: France’s Hidden Corner Sunny, out-of-the-way Languedoc is an intoxicating part of the world. Stretching from the Mediterranean to the Pyrenees in southwest France, it shares a balmy climate, winter wind, grapevines, and the sea with Provence, its better-known neighbor. But to me, Languedoc somehow feels more real.

I first came here as a teenager, when I visited Languedoc’s spectacular fortified town, Carcassonne. Sitting on the ramparts, I wrote in my journal: “Before me lies Carcassonne, the perfect medieval city. Like a fish that everyone thought was extinct, somehow Europe’s greatest Romanesque fortress city has survived the centuries. I was supposed to be gone yesterday, but here I sit imprisoned by choice - curled in a cranny on top of the wall.”

Anyone can feel like a kid on a rampart in this ultimate walled city, but it’s easier to savor its fairytale towers, turrets, and cobblestones if you don’t have to swim against the midday mobs. Salespeople stand guard at the doors of their souvenir shops, creating a cheesy gauntlet of tacky temptations. But in the early morning, the evening, or off-season, a quieter Carcassonne is an evocative playground for any medievalist.

The massive walls enfolding the old town are nearly two miles around, with 52 towers, each topped with a “witch hat” turret. For good measure, an outer rampart was added about 1300. While the double walls seem mighty enough, moats strengthened the city’s defenses.

Moats weren’t actually filled with water and alligators - they were just a dangerous no-man’s-land designed to expose attackers.

The only way to beat a place like Carcassonne was a starve-’emout siege. (Charlemagne tried it, but gave up.)

During Carcassonne’s golden age - the 1100s - troubadours sang ballads of ideal love, chivalry was in vogue, and a pragmatic spirit of tolerance ruled.The area became a center of the Cathars - a heretical Christian group.

They opposed the over-thetop materialism of the Church, which put them on a collision course with the pope.

But as France consolidated its central power, it clamped down on feisty groups like the Cathars,

even in this remote corner of the country.

The king and the pope joined forces to launch the brutal 13th-centur y Albigensian Crusades. The Cathars retreated to isolated strongholds in the hills, but in the end were ruthlessly wiped out. Today the ruggedly beautiful land around Carcassonne is dotted with their haunting castle ruins - the closest are those at Lastours and Minerve (accessible only by car and with a good map).

Scrambling around remote ruins and meditating on medievalism always whets my appetite. In Languedoc, I go for stick-to-your-ribs cassoulet.

This regional specialty is an old Roman concoction of goose, duck, pork, sausage, and white beans. Be warned: “Going local” here can get you tripe (cow intestines) or foie de veau (calf liver). Whatever you order, wash it down with one of the region’s well-made wines.

In these parts, the Cathars were also called Albigensians named after the nearby town of Albi. This enjoyable river town of sienna-toned bricks and halftimbered buildings has two world-class sights: a towering cathedral and the ToulouseLautrec Museum.

Albi’s big and bold St. Cecile cathedral is hard to miss - it’s the biggest cathedral of brick in the world. It looks less like a church and more like a fortress.

In fact, it was a central feature of the town’s defensive walls. Built during the height of the Cathar

heresy, this place oozes power get on board, or get run over.

Next to the church, the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum contains the world’s largest collection of artworks by the famous hometown boy. Born in Albi in 1864, Henri de ToulouseLautrec was crippled from youth (probably due to a genetic disorder). His father, once an engaged parent, lost interest in his deformed son. Henry moved to the fringes of society, where he gained an affinity for other people who didn’t quite fit in.

Henri later moved to Paris and made his mark painting the city’s underclass. His candid portraits of winos, prostitutes, and cabaret dancers - are uniquely colorful and graphic. His advertising posters for Paris’ theaters and dance halls were his bread and butter and today are some of his most recognizable works.

Toulouse-Lautrec died at 37, unmourned and unappreciated by the art establishment. Luckily the mayor of Albi had the good sense to accept his artwork when his heirs offered it to the city.

Languedoc’s hard-fought past and independent spirit are evident everywhere - in its landmark fortified city, ruined castles, hearty cuisine, and go-italone art. Venture to southwest France to discover this distinctly local culture.

Carcassonne’s double walls, turrets, and towers are best explored early or late, when the tide of tourists has turned.
