Sewer pipe project to begin in July

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Sections of aging sewer pipes are being replaced or repaired, a necessary infrastructure improvement cited by the Illinois American Water Company to maintain the water system.

Work will begin in July on a section of new pipe at the intersection of Glengary Drive and Harwood Drive. The $150,000 project involves the construction of approximately 375 feet of new 8-inch sanitary pipe to ensure system reliability.

“Illinois American Water provides everyday maintenance and operation of its sanitary sewer systems,” said Michael Smyth, Senior Manager of Field Services and Pro for Illinois

“In the process of

cleaning and inspecting the sewer mains, we can also identify areas that need upgrade and repair,” Michael Smyth, Senior manager of field services for Illinois American Water American Water. “In the process of cleaning and inspecting the sewer mains, we can also identify areas that need upgrade and repair. Because some sewers are made of clay pipes, they develop cracks over time. Our proactive approach to maintenance and necessary repairs will give this

portion of the sewer system another 50 or more years of useful life, a significant benefit to our customers.”

The company also spent

$180,000 to rehabilitate sanitary sewer pipes in the Cedarwood and Oxford areas in Bolingbrook.

The project involved installing cured-in-place lining to enhance

sanitary sewer service.

G&W moves to Bolingbrook

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

After a major renovation of an old warehouse building, a company sought after by numerous states, the international company G&W Electric officially made Bolingbrook its home last week.

Announced at the beginning of 2011, bringing the Blue Island company to Bolingbrook and to remain in Illinois was an effort pursued by several agencies, with incentives from the state to Commonwealth Edison.

According to Mayor Roger Claar, the company was involved in a multi-state search that included Indiana and Wisconsin.

However, Bolingbrook won, luring the company to relocate

its 353 employees and build its world headquarters in the old Ty Beanie Babies warehouse at 305 Crossroads Parkway. The move will also add an additional 30 to 40 job openings.

“This is the type of business that precisely every town in America would want to have locate in their village,” Claar said.

With clients like the Kennedy Space Center, Mayo Clinic and Camp David, G&W brings a prestigious clientele that will set up shop and visit the area’s restaurants, hotels and employees that will possibly take up residence in town.

In its pitch to Bolingbrook, the company prided itself on the longevity of the company, which has been around more than 100 years in the business.

According to the company, G&W has helped power the world with innovative power systems solutions and products since 1905.

With the introduction of the first disconnectable cable terminating device over 98 years ago, G&W began to build a reputation for engineering unique solutions to meet the needs of systems designers.

Solutions which today have extended far beyond cable accessory products and into the latest in solid dielectric and SF6 switchgear, reclosers, system protection equipment and automation controls.

The company had simply outgrown its Blue Island facility and needed to expand. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Henning/Rocchino Engagement Ms. Ruth Henning of Bolingbrook Illinois is pleased to announce the engagement of her daughter, Ahsley Star Henning, to Frank George Rocchino, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph and Mary Rocchino of Plainfield Illinois. Ashley is a graduate of Bolingbrook High School and is currently working as a Medical Assistant.

Frank is a graduate of Plainfield South High School and is currently serving in the United States Army.

SEWER Continued from page 1 the company, criticizing the company for continued rate increases.

However, the company says in 2011, it has invested approximately $684,00 across the Chicago Metro Bolingbrook sanitary sewer collection system for rehabilitation of pipes.

“Infrastructure investment is recovered in our rates to customers,” Smyth said.

“Therefore when we make prudent and necessary infrastructure improvements like this sewer rehabilitation project, there is a corresponding

adjustment to the rate for sewer collection service.”

The company continues to cite an estimate by the U.S. EPA declaring the need for

wastewater improvements across the nation and $13.4 billion in Illinois alone. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Man arrested for shooting at Bolingbrook house

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

A 19-year-old man was arrested after firing shots into a home in the area of Derberyshire Court.

According to Lt. Mike Rompa, police received a call about shots being fired at about 4:20 p.m. on June 17. A black Chevy Tahoe or Suburban was reported as seen leaving the

area. Police found a bullet hole in the siding of a home and later found the bullet lying on the bedroom floor and another round stuck in the siding of the garage. A man and woman were home at the time of the incident but received no injuries.

Rompa said, a short time later, an officer was in the area of Falconridge and King Arthur and observed a vehicle matching the description driving down

Falconridge.

The officer conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, which subsequently led to the recovery of a .25 caliber handgun.

Michael Clanton, 19, of Bolingbrook was taken into custody, processed and subsequently transported to Will County Adult Detention Facility. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

20,000 books exchanged during 3-day event From “The Hunger Games” to steamy romances and children’s books to religious tomes, participants found books that were theirs just for the taking during Will County’s annual book recycling event.

The Will County Resource Recovery and Energy Division, in conjunction with the Joliet Park District, held its annual three-day book recycling and document destruction event June 8-10 at the Park District’s Pilcher Park Nature Center, 2501 Highland Park Drive.

In all, about 20,000 books, which were contributed by schools, libraries and individuals, changed hands during the weekend’s free event.

Wyn Hyzer, Will County’s environmental educator, said she was surprised to see a copy of the wildly popular “The Hunger Games” in a box of donated books.

Generally, Hyzer said, she wouldn’t expect to see such a sought-after title so soon. She didn’t even bother adding it to the rows of books lining the long Nature Center tables.

“I held it up and said, ‘I have ‘The Hunger Games’ here,’” she said.

Tim Anderson, senior waste analyst with the Resource Recovery and Energy Division, said,“About 4,500 leftover books were recycled this year, mostly old worn books, magazines, encyclopedias and educational books. In addition, four tons of

documents were collected for shredding.”

It was the fourth consecutive year the event included an opportunity to destroy confidential documents. Secure containers were on site to collect papers that would be shredded and recycled at Document

Destruction Co. in Chicago.

Biggert: transportation bill needs bipartisan support

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The future of a long-term federal transportation bill is a question mark for many in the transportation industry, including the nearly 7,000 workers at Joliet’s Vulcan Materials Company Quarry.

U.S. Congresswoman Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) met with some of those workers on Wednesday to discuss the importance of a long-term bill, which she said is currently stuck in partisan gridlock.

“This bill is not a Republican bill, it’s not a Democrat bill; it’s a bill that both the House and the Senate should pass,” Biggert said.

“We need to stop this politicking and really sit down.”

Currently, a special conference committee is negotiating different versions of a federal transportation bill that have been drafted by the House and Senate.

The House bill would extend funding for five years and cost $260 billion, but was never brought up for a vote.The Senate bill, which passed a Senate vote,

would only extend funding for two years and cost $109 billion.

The House transportation bill has not received support from Democrats because of its proposals to construct the Keystone XL Pipeline and

limit the regulation of coal ash, Biggert said. However, the Illinois Republican said she thinks those proposals should be made into separate bills, as long as it helps to pass a long-term transportation bill.

“The House has included Keystone and the regulation of coal ash, but that’s one of the reasons the Senate doesn’t want

to take on the House bill,” Biggert said. “Lets just get the big bill done and stop fooling around with the side bars.”

Biggert has stood separate from many of her GOP colleagues by supporting the Senate version of the bill, which the U.S. Department of Transportation estimates would create 67,900 jobs in Illinois. Although she would prefer to see a five-year bill, Biggert said the Senate bill is better than another extension.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has suggested that Congress pass a six-month extension of the current shortterm bill, which is set to expire on June 30. Biggert warned Vulcan employees that this would just push back many necessary longterm construction projects, which cannot begin unless their funding is guaranteed.

Vulcan spokesperson Joshua Robbins said that a long-term bill is crucial for the road-based materials industry. Up to 25 See BIGGERT, page 10

Batis honored by Construction continues at Valley View District Schools state school nurses association

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

It takes a lot of people to support the physical and emotional needs of students at a school as large as Bolingbrook High School.

One of those people is school nurse Sue Batis, who recently was honored with the Illinois Association of School Nurses Recognition of Excellence Award.

“It’s really huge to be recognized by my peers,” said Batis, a registered nurse who is one of two full time school nurses at BHS. “Nurses are such an important part of each school.”

Batis has been with Valley View since 2002 when she joined the staff as a school nurse at Romeoville High School. Soon after she started, she found herself spending some time at BHS, and also working one day a week as a liaison to school district health services. She was named the full-time Coordinator of VVSD Health Services in

2005.

In 2007, Batis went back to being a full time nurse at BHS. “I was missing student contact, and I really wanted to get back to that,” Batis said.

Prior to coming to Valley View, she had experience with a home health agency working with children from Homer Township, Joliet and Plainfield. She also served as a nurse in Plainfield School District 202.

A graduate of College of St. Francis with a Bachelor’s Degree in accounting, Batis then pursued an Associate Degree in nursing from Joliet Junior College and ultimately obtained her Master’s in nursing from University of Illinois-Chicago. She received her school nurse certificate in 2001.

The award was given by the DuPage Valley Division of the IASN “to recognize a peer who best represents the leadership, professionalism and advocacy” of the school nurse profession.

BIGGERT Continued from page 5 percent of the quarry’s sales are for road-based materials, and a lack of long-term construction projects affects the quarry’s output, which impacts not only construction workers but also workers at Vulcan’s quarry.

“The positive effect of a longterm transportation funding bill is that there’s long-term planning and implementation at the state level,” Robbins said.

“When you have an unknown on the stream of funding, it’s difficult or impossible to plan long-term projects.”

This lack of long-term projects lowers the demand for stone, which subsequently lowers the demand for labor.

Managers and workers are waiting for a decision on the transportation bill, which could determine whether or not workers would be laid off.

Adventist Bolingbrook earns good grade for patient safety Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital earned an excellent grade from The Leapfrog Group, which last week released a hospital safety score for every acute care hospital in the country.

Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital’s safety score of a “B” is based on the levels of infections, injuries and medical and medication errors. Calculated under the

guidance of a nine-member panel of patient safety experts, the score uses 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single score representing a hospital’s overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors.

Of the 2,652 hospitals issued a safety score by Leapfrog, 1,408 earned an A or B and 1,243 earned a C or below.

The designation comes a year after Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital implemented a new electronic system – called computerized provider order entry system, or CPOE – designed to drastically reduce medical errors and speed up patient care by eliminating handwritten orders for all inpatients.

“What’s your sign?” could be the most overused pickup line ever. In the week ahead, your desire for originality could collide with your desire to receive attention and admiration from potential love interests.

You get out only what you put in. In the week to come, you may feel very secure financially, but that won’t help you make and keep friends. If others aren’t enthused by your success, chalk it up to jealousy.

It might be love or merely your biological clock that is setting off the alarm in the week to come. The mating imperative could shake up your daily routines.

Prepare to enjoy a new phase full of insights.

Life is a lush salad bar where you can pick and choose. Your interest in mergers could increase when you have a chance to get closer to the significant other of your choice during the week to come.

Guard against a tendency to make choices that sabotage your success. During the upcoming week, you could either be too cautious or too erratic. Although you are sharp, you sometimes miss the point.

Take a quick peek at people through the lens of sympathy.

In the week ahead, you would be wise to be compassionate rather than tough about accidental indiscretions. Try walking a mile in someone else’s shoes.

You want more wiggle room but are chained to habits. This week, you might experience tensions building that stem from latent, unexpressed rebellion. Find acceptable ways to let off steam.

Muster all your panache.

Your pheromones might be leaking out all over the place in the week to come, so it might seem that prospective romantic partners are drawn to you like bees to honey.

You are a great asset on a team as long as it the winning one.

This week, be sure to choose your companions well, as their attitudes and opinions could affect your own performance.

As the skeptic of the week, you could find making a commitment daunting. You may be looking for something better, even though you already have the best. Don’t give in to a restless desire for change.

Comfort foods often offer little comfort, only empty calories.

In the week ahead, you could chew your cud like a cow and be content, or you could go whole hog and spend way too much to feel better.

Love is a universal language. With a little practice, you can learn to speak it fluently. In the week to come, you may be tempted to practice the words of love on people who just briefly touch your life.

Bishop tabbed as Player of the Year

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

After playing football from age six, Minooka’s Rick Bishop made a decision to call it quits after his junior year to focus on volleyball – a decision some questioned.

“I was always the tall kid that could go up and catch the ball,” said Bishop, a wide receiver growing up.

However, after Bishop posted 293 kills and 70 blocks to lead Minooka to a fourth-place finish in the state, he proved to Indian nation he made the right choice.

For his accomplishments, Bishop was named 2012 Voyager Media Boys Volleyball Player of

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Minooka’s Rick Bishop is Voyager Media Player of the Year.

the Year.

Bishop said early in his career, the award and the state place seemed far from a reality.

“My dad played church league rec volleyball and I went with him before I was in high school and then I went out freshman year and I was garbage and everyone knew it,” Bishop said.“I was really bad.”

Bishop played summer league in that summer and his future came together.

“Somewhere between freshman and sophomore year, I just started to put the ball down.” Bishop said. “Something See ALL-AREA, page 15

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 14 just clicked, I don’t know what happened. After that, everyone told me to play club so I had to quit football.”

Looking at his athletic career, Bishop decided if volleyball didn’t bring college offers, he would pick up his lost sports.

“After junior year of volleyball, I decided if I didn’t get offers, I would quit club and play basketball and football,” he said.

But then Lewis University came calling.

While the Romeoville-based Flyers are NCAA Division II in most sports, they are a Division-I national powerhouse in men’s volleyball.

This season, in fact, Lewis was the No. 3 seed in the NCAA Final Four and was eliminated by the USC, the top team in the country.

“I watched the games online and I couldn’t believe I am playing there next year,” Bishop said. “Hopefully, I will be playing on that court next year and hopefully starting.”

Bishop said he knows some of the players from high school and club, as well as playing with some of them in open gyms since signing with Lewis.

“It is a whole different game,” he said. “High school is competitive, but that is crazy.”

Other members of the 2012 Voyager Media All-Area team are:

SCOTTY ADAMCZYK Adamczyk, a four-year varsity player and threeyear starter, compiled 295 kills, 203 digs and 53 blocks in his first season as an outside hitter for Maine South (he played libero his three previous varsity seasons).

He’ll be playing volleyball for NCAA Division III powerhouse Carthage College. Scotty’s older brother, Teddy, led the Hawks to the 2006 state championship.

“He’s really stepped it up,” said Maine South coach Gary Granell.

“He’s a go-to guy; we counted on him for big points.”

NATHAN CELINSKI Celinski had 198 kills,80 blocks and a .251 hitting percentage for

Niles West.

“Nathan has been a key contributor this season,” Niles West coach Drew Roche said.

“He can handle himself well in all facets of the game. With his contributions the team has compiled (more than) 20 wins. After two seasons on the varsity level, Nathan has left his mark in the Niles West record books.

DAVID COLDEA Maine East libero totaled 460 digs and 24 aces on the season. “ L a s t season as a junior David earned the starting Libero position in the first week of the season,” Maine East coach Jon Kulesza said.

“David has been spectacular ever since. He was a CSL AllConference player last year as a junior and has raised his level of play more this year. He has earned All-Tournament Honors at the Libertyville Invite the last two seasons and is now the school record holder in career and season digs.”

JONATHAN COLDEA The senior led the team with 540 assists and 33 aces, while finishing second with 135 digs for Maine East.

“He can do most anything on a volleyball court,” Kulesza said. “He can pass, set, hit, block, dig, and serve. He is

a truly complete player. However, his setting ability has carried our team to its current record. He gets everyone involved in the offense, yet recognizes who the hot hitter is and feeds him.”

BRIAN EDWARDS Joliet West senior totaled 220 kills, 108 blocks and 15 aces on the season.

“He is a senior middle hitter who has led us in blocks and kills the past two seasons,” Joliet West coach Jason Hermann said. “He has been on varsity the past three years and came second in those categories his sophomore year behind Bryan Saunders (now playing Division 1 at IPFW).

Brian is an explosive player with great jumping ability and hits a slide like no-one else in our conference. He is a respected and feared middle by many teams.

He is a great student as well. He is in the top ten percent in our school and received many senior recognitions for academics this year.”

MATT GARVEY G ra n e l l summed up the importance of Garvey’s play throughout the 2012 season this way for Maine South: “The worse we passed sometimes, the better he set,” he said.“He’s a good floor leader and distributes the ball well. He was our quarterback.”

Garvey amassed over 750 assists and added 164 digs and See ALL-AREA, page 16

“He is one of the best volleyball players I have ever coached in my six-year career,” North coach Kevin Vesper said.”

PHIL HANNON Senior made the Minooka offense run with 835 assists on the season to go with 22 aces.

“Phil was a key player for us,” said Minooka coach Janel Grezetich.

“He was able to move the ball around to all of our hitters, but found the hot hand when he needed to.”

LUKE LADOWSKI Benet advanced to the sectional semifinals this season thanks to this four-year starter’s effective

play. Ladowski tallied 292 kills and 161 digs for the year.

“He had his best season ever this year,” said Benet coach Amy Van Eekeren. “He’s a key for us on passing and defense, but has really stepped up into a more aggressive hitting role this season.”

ZACH PARIK The four-year senior setter from Downers North led the team in both assists and aces on the season. Helped the Trojans win a regional title.

See ALL-AREA, page 17

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 16 “This year he worked hard rehabbing a torn ACL, missing the entire club season, in preparation for the his school season,” North coach Mark Wasik said. “In my opinion, he is one of the best setters, if not the best setter in the state this year. He will continue his collegiate career at Penn State University. Because of his size and power, I have used him as a hitter/setter in a 6-2 offense.

Beyond his playing capability, he has been a strong leader as one of our team captains, and is highly composed and always thinking as a setter should.”

MATTHEW PELOQUIN A senior setter from Bolingbrook, Peloquin helped the Raiders to their first regional championship appearance and finished with 448 assists and 33 aces for the season.

“Matt has demonstrated leadership on and off the court this season,” Bolingbrook coach Andrea Bercot said. “He has put in the work year round

and is one of the team’s most consistent players.

“His hard work has earned him a scholarship to DII school, Alderson-Broadus in West Virginia.”

CODY SWANSON Plainfield Central’s senior setter had 445 assists to go along with 88 blocks and 89 kills.

“As a senior captain and setter, Cody has a lot of control over the court,” Central coach Katie Prast said. “He likes to attack the ball and is aggressive at the net with dumps and blocks. His blocks help to get his teammates fired up.”

J.P. TULACKA At 6-feet, 6-inches tall, Tulacka was a dominant middle blocker for Downers Grove North, despite missing 10 games with an ankle sprain.

He will continue his career at Carthage College.

“He is one of the most dominate middle blockers in the state,” Wasik said. “In fact, I have not seen a more dominant middle than J.P. this year other than possibly, the middle from Glenbrook South.

“I experimented with J.P. as an outside hitter which is a testament of his versatility and overall skill as a defensive player.”

BOBBY WEHRLI Wehrli was a star basketball player for B e n e t — h e ’s going to walk on at Dayton— but he was just as much of a force on the volleyball court. With his exceptional leaping ability, the 6-5 Wehrli could pound down kills with the state’s best.

He had 321 kills for the season and sported a .567 kill percentage.

“He came out (for volleyball) his sophomore year (for the first time) and just wowed us,” said Van Eekeren.“He’s absolutely an outstanding player.”

LUKE WILIMITIS A Libero from Plainfield North, Wilimitis was the anchor of a strong defense, leading the team with 343 digs on the season.

“He is the type of player that is all over the floor and gets to balls that no one else can,” Vesper said. “It is amazing how Luke consistently keeps an offense going with the countless rally saving digs he makes.

“There are plays he makes on the floor that “wow’s” the crowd.”

Lanstiak tabbed as Scholar-Athlete of the Year The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced on June 15 that Lewis University’s Zsofia Lanstiak (Budapest, Hungary/ Karinthy Frigyes Gimnazium) has been selected as the 2011-12 GLVC Women’s Tennis ScholarAthlete of the Year.

LEWIS Lanstiak, a sophomore psychology major, owns a 3.77 cumulative grade point average and was named to the 2012 Capital One Academic AllAmerica Division II Women’s At-Large Third Team earlier this month.

Athletically, Lanstiak was equally as dominant as she claimed 2012 GLVC Player of the Year honors and helped the Flyers win their first-ever GLVC Women’s Tennis championship and advance to the ‘Sweet 16’ of the NCAA Division II Women’s Tennis Championship.

She finished the season with a singles record of 36-2 and a combined doubles mark of 36-3, as the Flyers finished the campaign with a record of 24-3.

Following the year, Lanstiak was selected as the 2012 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Midwest Region ‘Player To Watch’ and was ranked No. 25 in the nation for singles play.

“I am so proud of Zsofi,” Lewis head women’s tennis coach Brett Bridel said. “She truly exemplifies what it means to be a student-athlete.

“To be able to perform at such a high level in both the classroom and the tennis court is truly a remarkable accomplishment.”

CrackerJacks win 8-1 in Dernier’s debut In Bobby Dernier’s first game as Acting Manager and the CrackerJacks first game ever without Manager Vern Hasty in the dugout, the CrackerJacks cruised to another victory over the Chicago Zephyrs, 8-1.

The first pitcher to pick-up multiple wins for Will County this season did so in commanding fashion. Ben Gullo went seven and one third innings before the game was called due to rain, throwing just 102 pitches, and striking out five batters. Gullo had 76 strikes to only 26 balls.

For the sixth time this season, the CrackerJacks were able to score in the first inning. Center fielder Mitch Elliott drew a walk to lead-off and would eventually score on a sacrifice fly by shortstop Daniel Nevares.

Runners were on second and third, but Derek Brown grounded into a 4-3 play.

The bottom of the second inning really opened up for the CrackerJacks, as they managed to score four runs. Will County

nearly worked through the entire line-up. Elliott continued his excellent start to the season, picking up a two RBI double.

The lead was extended to 5-0 when designated hitter Shaun McGraw was up. Elliott scored when he was able to steal home, which allowed shortstop Daniel Nevares to advance to third base.

Then, McGraw picked up a single that permitted Nevares to touch home.

Both teams tacked on a run in the fourth inning.

The Zephyrs run came unearned when third baseman Ian O’Connor scored. The CrackerJacks run came off another McGraw single that brought Elliott around to score.

The game went into a 15-minute delay in the fifth inning when lighting was spotted.

Hasty is serving an indefinite suspension for an off field disagreement with an umpire after the CrackerJacks 15-14 loss to the DeKalb County Liners on June 11, 2012.

Slammers fall 3-1 The Slammers never got rolling offensively on Sunday afternoon and dropped their series opener 3-1 to the Traverse City Beach Bums at Silver Cross Field.

Like Saturday’s game, the scoring was underway early. In the top of the second, the Beach Bums secured a leadoff double from Chase Burch, and with one out, Sean Gusrang slapped an RBI single to make it 1-0.

Joliet tied it up in the bottom of the inning when Erik Lis scored on a Kyle Maunus groundout with runners on the corners.

Traverse City jumped ahead in the third with runners on second and third with no outs.

Jose Vargas, who finished the game with two RBI, came to the plate and brought home Brian Heere from third on a sacrifice fly, making it 2-1.

The Bums tacked on another three in the fifth inning on a run-scoring double by Vargas and a two-RBI single from Jeff

Flagg.

Jacob Clem earned the win for the Beach Bums, throwing a complete game on just one run and five hits.

Joliet’s Wander Alvino was stuck with the loss, surrendering five runs through six innings before Daniel Carela and Geoff Brown completed the effort.

Wiffleball coming to suburbs

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

In recent years men’s softball leagues have taken off in the summer.

Next up, it might be wiffleball.

No, this isn’t your kids wiffleball, it is fastpitch wiffleball and it has already taken off on the east coast.

Now, former Bolingbrook Raider, Aurora University and Will County CrackerJack player Anthony Buonamici is looking to bring it to the Chicagoland area.

“This wiffleball league was an idea of mine, and now it is ready to go from a dream to a reality,” Buonamici said.“All of the fixings as far as field necessities as ready to go, and I have a rather large following. (There are) 40 to 50 guys alone that are close friends or baseball teammates of mine, and this does not include all of their friends. Anyone who is willing to participate can. We have kids who are 16 willing to play, as well as men in their 30s looking to get a piece of the action as well.“ The official website for the league is currently under construction but they are on Facebook at Facebook.com/ illinoiswiffleballleague.

The games are fast pitch with four to five guys on each team.

There are very specific rules for the game.

As Buonamici said, the equipment used to make the field, such as the backstop and strikezone, are unique as well, and it gives the game special characteristics.

The game has grown on the east coast and there are video clips of it on Youtube and by searching Google, where Buonamici got his idea from.

“What sparked this interest is a league on the east coast,” he said. “They go by the name of Golden Stick Wiffleball. They take wiffleball seriously, and they are the authority when it comes to having fun while being competitive at the same time in the game of wiffleball.

I reached out to their league president and we had talks of possibly having a midwest region be a part of their league, and opening up something really big to the Chicago suburbs, but their demands as far as fees per player were just set too high.

Those guys on the east coast are hungry for money.”

Those high fees are what made Buonamici decide to try and start it up himself.

“On my own, I can bring all the participants the game they love at the intensity they want, without imposing a large fee to do so,” he stated. “I may not see much money, but seeing the looks on these people’s faces is what I really want to gain out of this. There are a couple videos on Youtube through Golden Stick that can give you an idea of what I want this to turn into. Ultimately, I want to put wiffleball on the map, and I want upper Illinois to be the Mecca for that experience.”

Buonamici said his league will charge $45 per player, which includes registration fee and a Boombah jersey.

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Bolingbrook’s Anthony Buonamici is looking to bring a wiffleball league to the Chicago area.

Teams wishing to provide their own jerseys will pay only $15 per player, but the jersey must be approved by the league.

When all is said and done, Buonamici hopes that this is just the start of something special and something popular for

people to do in the summertime for the next several years.

“And at the end of the day, somewhere down the line several years from now, I want people to know where it all started,” Buonamici said.” Right here. And the people who were

there from day one are going to be able to say they were a part of something special.”

Real estate as retirement income

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

Is the real estate market a good investment for retirement?

I haven’t fielded that question in at least five years, but over the past six weeks, I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are reconsidering real estate as a source of steady income.

Let’s start with the numbers.

After experiencing a massive bubble from 2000-’06 (no, it’s not normal for prices to double over the course of seven years), real estate cratered.

Prices dropped almost 35 percent from peak levels, and in some areas, like Florida and Las Vegas, the damage was far worse.

Now, a full six years from the peak, recent housing data indicates that a bottoming process is occurring across the country. Existing home sales in April rose 3.4 percent from the previous month to the highest level in almost two years and 10 percent above yearago levels. Adding to the case

that the market is bottoming, inventory is down 20.6 percent from a year ago. In Econ 101, reduced inventory means less downward pressure on prices.

Similar results were seen in new home sales, which rose 3.3 percent from the previous month, almost 10 percent from year-ago levels and 25 percent from the lows. Still, there’s still a long way to go before we see a “normal” housing market.

The total level of sales is historically weak and 2012 will probably be the third worst year on record after 2011 and 2010. However, historically low mortgage rates are helping the market by making the cost of ownership more affordable, assuming that the buyer can qualify.

Sensing this opportunity, many are wondering whether a jump into the rental market can boost retirement savings and income.

The answer is yes, with a few important caveats. Buyers must have realistic expectations, starting with a long-term time horizon and recognition that

the days of “flipping” a house to score a big profit are gone.

In fact, in the early going, many properties may just break even.

The goal is for the owner to be mortgage-free and to collect a steady stream of income.

Additionally, securing a mortgage for rental property has changed dramatically since the bubble years. “No money down” loans are nonexistent; today, lenders generally require a deposit of 30 percent. Even with that chunk of equity, mortgage rates for rental properties are higher than for owner-occupied residences.

One way to defray some of the cost of owning incomeproducing properties is to use their favorable tax treatment.

The Internal Revenue Service allows you to claim depreciation on your property over 27.5 years, which is a way to spread the cost of an asset

over a period of time. Here’s how it works: You can offset a portion of your rental income by the cost basis of your rental property (what you paid for the property plus improvements, but not the land) divided by 27.5. While this is just one way to defray taxable income, note that depreciation is a way to defer taxation, not escape it.

The IRS imposes taxes on depreciation when you sell the property, which is known as “recapture.” You can defer recapture by using proceeds from the property to purchase a new one via a 1031 exchange but you must follow strict rules to comply. Additionally, if you own the property until death, your heirs will not be subject to recapture.

If the ability to create a steady stream of income with favorable tax treatment seems too good to be true, it is. Being

a landlord requires hard work.

No amount of screening will prevent you from encountering a horrible renter or a midnight call about some problem. If you don’t want to be involved at that level, you’ll have to hire a management company, which will obviously eat into your cash flow.

Finally, remember that real estate is an illiquid asset.

Be sure to have access to sufficient liquid assets before you become a landlord.

THE BUGLE JUNE 21, 2012

Real Estate & Business

Key to job hunt success is tenacity, resourcefulness Q. I’ve been unemployed for about a year and am ready to give up.

Most jobs don’t even respond to my resume.

When I do get an interview, I rarely get a call back and never get the job. What is the point of continuing to hit my head against the brick wall of constant rejection?

A. The point of continuing to put yourself in a position to get a job is that sooner or later you will land a new position. You are correct that the price is a high level of discomfort caused by your feelings of disappointment and rejection.

You have every emotional reason to feel like giving up.

However, if you stop trying, you’ll only guarantee you’ll definitely not get a job.

The upside of failure is that you have a chance to take new approaches you haven’t tried.

Perhaps one of your challenges is that the way you are applying for jobs could be more efficient.

Job seekers sometimes don’t avail themselves of free government resources that can help them with everything from polishing resumes to identifying job leads. Don’t overlook the tools available at your unemployment office and resources such as government WorkSource offices.

If you aren’t sure where to turn, do Internet searches in your area for free or government-sponsored services for people who are unemployed. And be willing to accept help.

Another mistake I see my unemployed clients make is that they are embarrassed to tell everyone they know they are having trouble finding a job. The truth is most people feel like a hero if they can help you find a job. If you hide that you need help, you’re missing the critical resource of your community supporting your job search.

If you don’t have people you can talk to about being

demoralized, put up a support group announcement at your unemployment office. Get a few people that you can meet with regularly and vent. You will feel more encouraged when you see other people suffering with the same challenges. You will also get good ideas from each other.

The good news in your situation is that you are actually getting interviews. Make sure when you go on interviews that you use a tool I call “Workplace Theater.” Do not, under any conditions, use the interview as a place to express your frustration. Instead, imagine you’ve been hired for a role in a play. The role is a successful job applicant. Now behave exactly as an actor would if he or she was going to get this job.

You won’t do yourself any favors by moping into interviews and acting like you expect this panel will also reject you. If you act well, no one evaluating you can read your mind. If you look demoralized, you’ll create a selffulfilling prophecy. The irony is that it won’t be your skill set that

Can freshman balance work, education?

Dear Dave, My son is a freshman in college.

Do you think he should work during his first year in school or focus all his attention on his classes?

Ben Dear Ben, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either direction

during their first year of college. But as a parent, I’d urge you not to fall into the trap of thinking that a kid’s grades will go down if they work while in school.

Research shows that kids who work while in college carry higher grade point averages than those who don’t.

To me, the reason for this is pretty simple. If you’re working and going to school at the same time, you have to learn how to manage your life and your time See FRESHMAN, page 27

keeps you unemployed but the fact you’re acting dejected.

If you read biographies of most people who have reached exceptional goals in the workplace, you’ll notice one habit they all have in common: tenacity.

Successful people cultivate the ability to withstand enormous amounts of rejection while they keep taking the risk to get what they want.

To comfort yourself in the meantime, remember that once you have your new job, you won’t be focusing on all the jobs that

turned you down. You will be grateful you didn’t drop out of the game, and will focus on thriving in your new company.

ATI Sports Medicine wins national award ATI Physical Therapy’s Sports Medicine department is the recipient of the 2012 “Best Grass Roots Effort” award for public relations efforts during National Athletic Training Month (NATM) in March. The National Athletic Trainers’ Association and its PR Committee will honor ATI at the District Four meeting during the upcoming NATA Convention in June in St. Louis.

ATI created an in-house committee to spearhead efforts to reflect the theme of this year’s NATM “Athletic Trainer’s Save Lives.”The committee, with the support of the ATI Sports Medicine Team, planned and executed several promotional campaigns throughout Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland, providing information and awareness about the role of certified athletic trainers. As a group, the ATI Sports Medicine Team created a grassroots movement with an array of activities: • Distribution of campaign flyers and posters around local communities - ATI was able to reach thousands of people who now understand the important role athletic trainers

FRESHMAN Continued from page 22 effectively. Lots of kids could pay their way through college, and not have to worry with student loans, if they just used the time they spend on social activities and watching television at a job.

I never required my kids to work during the school year.

But they all have good work ethics, and they’re definitely not bums. During the summer, though, there was no such thing as sitting around. They had jobs.

My youngest just finished his sophomore year, and he’s already started a job. Being a vegetable for the entire summer is useless, and we don’t do useless in our family.

But the philosophy of not wanting a kid to work so they can spend all their time studying is misguided. For the most part, kids who work while they’re in school will make better grades and develop into more mature

going to need a lot more than just $2,500,unless you have a job lined up. Even if there’s work waiting for you, $2,500 will disappear in about 20 minutes in Los Angeles.

Slow down and take your time.

Plan a trip to the coast and figure out what your living arrangements and expenses are going to look like first. Then, line up a job that will pay you enough to cover your expenses. In the meantime, save up enough money to fix your car, or if it’s in really rough shape, to buy a good, used one.

Once all this is done, then you make the move—without a car payment. Moving when you’re broke with no job prospects and a car payment hanging around your neck is a recipe for disaster!

Dear Dave, I plan to move to Los Angeles to chase my dream of working in the television and film industry.

I’m not married, have no kids, and I have $2,500 saved to live on until I can pick up a couple of jobs. I may have to finance a car, though. I’m not sure mine will survive the trip.

Under these circumstances, how much of an emergency fund should I shoot for?

Cameron Dear Cameron, So, you’re looking at moving to California with $2,500 in your pocket, a car payment, and no job waiting. This is a disaster waiting to happen, my friend.

Don’t get me wrong. I want you to live your dream, but I don’t want it turning into a nightmare.

There’s no way I’d take a car payment to California. And you’re

SAFETY Continued from page 10 The organization also introduced a system for administering medication to patients. That process, called Medication Positive Patient Identification (mPPID),greatly reduces the possibility of a medication or dosing error.

“With innovations including CPOE and mPPID, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital stands at the forefront of embracing new medical technology designed to improve patient safety,” said Rick Mace, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital’s chief executive officer. “Safety is our top priority – it’s what patients and their families expect every time they come to our hospital. As a young hospital (we opened in January 2008), we are pleased with our ‘B’ score and our overall quality scores are excellent.”

“Our sports medicine department did a fantastic job spreading information and awareness about the role of certified athletic trainers,” said Jason Pequette, senior director of sports medicine at ATI Physical Therapy. “All members of ATI Sports Medicine were involved, and placed the focus of their efforts not only on educating, but making a difference in the communities we serve.”

When the data is reported next year, Mace predicts Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital will earn an “A.” For the first time, The Leapfrog Group’s hospital safety score highlights the country’s safest hospitals and sheds a light on the poor performance of other institutions.

Every day in the U.S., more than 400 people die because of a hospital injury, infection, or error. “It’s our goal to hold hospitals accountable for how safe they are and give patients the information they need and deserve before even entering a hospital,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group.

The Leapfrog Group is an independent, national not-for-profit organization of employer purchasers of health care and the nation’s leading experts on patient safety that administers the Hospital Safety Score.
