Participating organizations include Plainfield School District 202, Plainfield Public Library, Fountaindale Public Library, Joliet Public

Library, Shorewood-Troy Public Library, Troy School District 30c, Joliet Junior Collect and the Barnes & Noble in Joliet and Voyager Media.

Local libraries and organizations have been planning and funding various programs and events that focus on the theme – World War I and World War II. White Oak Lockport Branch Manager Patricia Jarong said the combined effort far surpasses what one organization could offer. Each library promoted books and materials, as well, with book displays and reading lists.

The law was the product of six months of work by a joint HouseSenate Conference Committee and negotiations between Democratic and Republican legislative leaders.

The Illinois House approved the bill with a 62-53 roll call with 60 votes needed for passage. The Senate vote was 30-24 with 30 needed for passage.

McGuire said similar cases in other States have been ruled constitutional and he believes and hopes if the case is warranted that the court will provide a specific guide to what needs to be changed to get it passed and that the legislature will work to do so.

Some residents cried foul over increasing property taxes and called on the government to

end wasteful spending and make deeper cuts.

“It is our goal to eliminate abuse, fraud and waste as much as we can, and we have made some strides in doing so,” said McGuire.

He pointed to measures taken including a verification system for retires claiming health insurance for their spouses; an electronic system for home health care workers to record work hours; and the new system Offender 360 at Stateville expected to reduce work time from 20 hours to 10 minutes.

As a member of the Appropriations II committee, McGuire said he has seen many organizations come forward with their budgets and it is with a critical eye decisions are being made. He also sits on the environmental committee, cognizant of changes needed for the many facilities like Citgo that need to be appropriate to ensure the jobs of thousands are kept in Will County.

“We depend on our refineries for work—we have thousands working throughout our communities. We need to keep them running in an environmentally sound way,” said McGuire.

McGuire also sitting on the Higher Education Committee holds the importance of community colleges like Joliet Junior College in high regard and is working to change how MAP grants are awarded as deadlines for financial aid creep earlier and earlier as the need outstrips the demand.

“These are tough choices we have to make,” said McGuire.

A Living Wage for Direct Support Workers

Direct support staffers’ wage does not reflect work value

By Art Dykstra Executive Director of Trinity Services in New Lenox

It is clear today that individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities want to live in the community – to be with their friends, loved ones and even strangers.

For many of those individuals, however, they cannot achieve this goal without the assistance of others. On a daily basis, this assistance is most frequently provided via the efforts of direct support staff. It is estimated that there are well over 18,000 direct support staff working in Illinois.

The vast majority of those staff are employed by community non-profit service providers.

Direct support staff, while often working in apartment and

group home settings, or adult learning programs, work to assist the person with disabilities so that they can enjoy the highest quality of life possible.

Their work may vary from providing such basic care as toileting, bathing, feeding or cooking meals, administering medication or accompanying clients to medical appointments.

Still others are involved in literacy programs, specialized therapies and community outings.

All of this work occurs in a highly regulated environment with many training, skill and compliance requirements.

In spite of the meaningful and difficult work that is being performed by direct support staff, their average wage, according to a recent study conducted by the Illinois Association of Rehabilitation, is $9.35 an hour.

This is clearly not a living wage.

As has been my experience since taking office, the conversation always gets down to funding. We are all aware of the financial challenges of our state. I agree with some requests to increase state funding for treatment and recovery programs, and drug court efforts and dollars need to be allocated toward prevention. In the long run, statistics show preventing the problem is far less expensive than treating the problem. We continue searching for ways for local, county, state and federal government to come together and pool resources and try to generate more awareness.

Early in the week, you might think you’re right when you’re actually wrong, so wait until late this week to make crucial decisions and changes.

For a predictable outcome, wait until conditions are more predictable. People might not respond favorably to requests for assistance. You might not be satisfied with results if you make changes early in the week.

Pursue the most enjoyable things before you knuckle down to the mundane. You may be attracted to the exotic and unusual in the week ahead, but don’t be sidetracked from following through on important obligations.

Play it footloose and fancy free. Experience the thrill of meeting new people in the week ahead who fascinate you, but keep in mind that they might not remain in your life very long. Be prepared for a few surprises.

Concentrate on being a community-minded citizen. Your home or neighborhood could be the center for social functions or activity this week. Lend a helping hand to a new acquaintance or do some social networking.

An impulsive purchase could foster a repulsive result. It’s possible that you think something is worth more than you pay early this week. This may be a good week to write down your ideas or make a presentation.

Raider soccer fighting to the finish

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Prior to last Tuesday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference showdown with Sandburg, the Bolingbrook girls soccer team enjoyed a much needed eight-day break.

It was needed because prior to that the Raiders had played four games in five days and were still recovering from nagging injuries.

The final game before the break was a 2-0 league win over Homewood-Flossmoor in what coach Martin Uscilla said was “one of the worst games they played all year.”

He did, however, acknowledge it was nice to win and that he attributed the poor play simply to tired legs.

The Raider goals were scored

by Destiny Vasquez and Victoria Velazquez.

“Victoria and Destiny are two players that have been role players all year long and scored,” Uscilla said.

“That is what we needed, someone to step up and score on days where our studs didn’t have it.”

Overall, Uscilla said the season is not going bad, just not quite what they had hoped for.

“It has been a very mixed season,” he said.“We are 10-4-3 and we should be much better than that. We have unfortunately had another season with some injuries.

We have won four in a row.We are 1-1 in conference. We lost in PKs to Stagg in a heartbreaker because we dominated the game. I think we had bigger aspirations. We are trying to do some special things this year.We have Nikia (Smith) up top and Rachel (Schneider) looks really good up top.”

Uscilla moved Smith to striker this year for more scoring.

“She is not a striker by any means. She will not play forward in college. She is a center back, she

is a defender and she has 13 goals this season and like 10 assists,” Uscilla said.“She has been a pretty special thing to watch this year and she always gives us a chance.”

Although most sports are offense driven and those who create that offense are glorified, Uscilla said Smith prefers to play defense, but is willing to play elsewhere to help the team.

“You would think it would be a lot of fun, but she wants to be all state and she is an all-state center back and she is not playing center back, so I think she is pressing a little,” Uscilla said. “I feel her pain.

She realizes she is it this year. If she is good, we win the game, but that is a lot of pressure on her. I think she is a very special player, but she has never been a striker at any level she has played. It is kind of that double edged sword, where she can score at this level, but she isn’t a natural goal scorer, so she does it on heart and determination.

She was triple teamed in one of the games. I took out my camera and took a picture because I have never seen that before. She is just a great athlete. She would be down state in several events if she was in track and field.”

Smith has used her shut down defense to help win games, sometimes games that she scored to give the Raiders the lead.

“She has scored a goal to give us the lead and then played center back to shut down the other team,” Uscilla said.“She has played everywhere on the field for us.

The reason we are in every game is because teams know who she is and they have to pay special attention to her and that gives opportunities to other players.

“When it is all said and done, it is a risk, reward thing.The reward is we are in every game and we hope the reward comes for her. I think people know who she is and >> see SOCCER | page 12

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Nikia Smith (left) has been asked to be more of a scorer this season for the Raiders.

12

THE BUGLE MAY 1, 2014

>> SOCCER, from page 11 what kind of player she is. Last year, we didn’t allow a lot of goals with her back there and now this year

we have scored in almost every game and we still haven’t allowed a lot because we are always on the offensive.”

While she is a dominant player,

Sports there are other players that have stepped up this year.

“Tyler Holmes has been injured, but she has played center back for us. She is why we can put Nikia up because she is good,” Uscilla said. “Rachel Schneider had five goals in five games and she tore her ACL. She is back and has 11 goals. Abbie Lund is a freshman and plays almost every minute of

every game.”

Uscilla said the schedule the rest of the way, while tough, is winnable.

“We have a lot of winnable games. We go into every game we play, we will have a shot and I don’t think I ever could have said that,” he said.“We want to try and get a decent seed and we have to win some games and maybe pull

off a stunner and beat Sandburg.

There hasn’t been a game that we couldn’t have won this year. We lost in overtime, we lost in PKs, we tied twice in our only two games on grass. Those are no excuse, we still had chances and we honestly could have won every game we played.”

Numbers down, energy up for Raiders

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

No matter what the sport, when teams from within a single school district, there is an added intensity to the event.

That was no different last week when Valley View District rivals Bolingbrook and Romeoville met for a cross-town tennis match.

“Your cross-town rival is one we have to get up for, no matter what sport it is. It is something the kids take kind of personally when they get out there,” said Romeoville coach George Joyce.

“It is fun and in tennis, it is more of a friendly rivalry.Coach (Chris)

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Bolingbrook’s Damon Castleman (left) and Zachary Bugajski have been two top players this year.

Mallon and I have known each other for a while and we have been doing this for a long time.

It is one of those sports where instead of having one playing field out there, there are eight different playing fields so when the match is over it is not just about going to the locker room, showering up and heading out of town. You have to wait for the other matches to end, so you have a chance to sit around with the guys from the other school and chit chat or even hit the ball around on an empty court, so it is kind of nice.”

The Spartans earned the win >> see NUMBERS | page 14

>> NUMBERS, from page 13 in the match, taking the 4-3 advantage for their first dual win of the season.

“It was obviously nice to win, but they are a nice group of guys on the Bolingbrook side,” Joyce said. “It takes a little pressure off. We have had some real close ones go the other direction, but to get one to go our way, the guys can kind of relax a little. We would like to get a conference win, but it has to start somewhere and to have

that start against our neighbors, I am happy with that.”

It wasn’t the first time the Spartans had success this season, as the team finished first at the six-school Bremen Invitational. In that invite, the doubles team of Kevin Lam and Brent Ranchero placed second, while sophomore Miguel Rayos del Sol placed first.

“Miguel has been playing really well for us. He is a strong regional player, he plays in a lot of USTA events. He is well known in the region,” Joyce said.

Sports “The other players from other schools know who he is and they bring their best when they face him. He had a tough loss to Austin Russell from Plainfield South, but he is a multi-time state qualifier, so you can’t take that away from Miguel. Other than that, he has been on a tear.”

Joyce said that Rayos del Sol is not only a top player, but a team player as well.

“I have seen high caliber players on other teams that are out with their private coach and don’t come to their school practice,” Joyce said. “Miguel is just the opposite of that. He comes to every practice, he doesn’t miss a beat with the guys and the guys see that he I putting in the time here and

then going to his private coach.

They see that if they want to get better than they have to put in the effort. That attitude Miguel shows is something the younger and less experienced players can feed off of. We have a lot of numbers in the program and hopefully they see what Miguel does.”

Numbers have been a problem this season for the Raiders.

“We are low on number this year and against our competition, that is not good at all,” Mallon said. “We are having growing pains right now and from here on out, we will only be seeing conference teams. It is going to get tougher. We had some success early and we have had some bumps and get back

to winning ways.”

Mallon said the recent struggles have not put a damper on the team spirit.

“So far we are still enjoying it and we are still in high spirits and that is all that matters,” Mallon said. “As long as we enjoy it and come to practice every day and do the best we can in matches, that is all we really want.”

With a majority of the Raiders being non-seniors, any learning experiences for the team this season, can pay off next year.

“We have mostly juniors on the team and we have a couple sophomores and a freshman on varsity, so next year should look good for us,” Mallon said.

Re-evaluating your savings priorities Dear Dave, I noticed that your Baby Steps list puts saving for retirement before saving for your kid’s college fund.

Sending your kids to college would come first on the timeline, so what is your reasoning Dave Says behind this? money advice Jen by dave ramsey Dear Jen,

I advise this approach because everyone is going to retire someday, unless, of course, they happen to die before reaching retirement age.

Retiring and eating are necessities.

College is a luxury.

Lots of people succeed in life

without going to college, and thousands have worked their way through college. I worked 40 to 60 hours a week in college, and I still graduated in four years.

Having a college fund set aside by your parents is really nice, if they can afford that kind of thing. But you can go to school by getting good grades, applying for scholarships, working your tail off and

choosing a school you can afford. I believe in education, but there are lots of ways to get a college degree other than having your parents foot the bill. Besides, the last time I checked there weren’t any good ways to retire that didn’t include saving and preparing for retirement beforehand. I mean, you can always try to live off Social Insecurity, but I don’t consider that a plan.

In short, college funding is not a necessity. That’s why it follows saving for retirement in the Baby Steps. Should you try to save up for your kid’s college education? Sure, if

you can. But there are lots of parents out there who won’t be able to pay a dime toward someone’s college education.

And that doesn’t make them bad parents!

THE BUGLE MAY 1, 2014

2014 Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo photos & Story By Alex V. Hernandez | Staff Reporter omic book fans converged on McCormick Place last weekend for the for the 2014 Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2).

The convention’s doors opened April 25 and featured the latest and greatest from the worlds of comics, movies, television, toys, anime, manga and video games.

Comic book fans were also able to attend panels and presentations from professional and independent comic book writers and artists, including Marvel Comics and Dark Horse Comics.

One of the independent creators was Tay Nolte.

He came down to C2E2 from Milwaukee, WI and was selling prints from his online comic that satirized office motivational posters.

“The comic is ‘The Zombie Office,’” said Nolte. “It takes place in a fictional corporation where the company, in order to save money, has brought in zombies as cheap labor.”

He said the comic primarily takes place in the company’s marketing department, where one of the employees is tasked with training one of the newly hired new undead employees.

“They come up with these motivational posters to help with the company’s zombie-human relations,” he said.

Comic book fans in attendance also dressed up as their favorite pop culture characters with costumes they designed themselves.
