Promenade of Bolingbrook up for sale By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Beckoning shoppers from throughout the western suburbs, The Promenade of Bolingbrook, located off of Boughton Road and Interstate 355, is up for sale, placing itself in a unique market. “We were informed that they would be selling, but who owns the center shouldn’t have any impact on the local tenants or the village,” said Village Attorney Jim Boan. Owned by Forest City Management Inc., the Promenade, the outdoor shopping center, is home to some 76 specialty retailers, Pro Bass Shops, iPic Theaters, various upscale restaurants and entertainment.The Macy’s store is not part of the sale, as it is a sub anchor and operated on its own property. “Our strategic focus as a company is continuing to improve our balance sheet (property sales help us do that) and investing in new opportunities in a limited number of core markets,” said Jeff Linton, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communication for Forest City Enterprises.

The Promenade of Bolingbrook, located off of Boughton Road and Interstate 355, is up for sale.

“Bolingbrook is a fine market with good demographics. The mall has shown solid growth for us, and we’re confident it will continue to grow and be an important asset for the community under potential new ownership.” Forest City has opted to sell the approximate 770,000 –square-foot property, listing it with Realtor Cushman and

Wakefield Chicago as an unpriced retail town center. “There are few trophy assets like this on the market, and we expect a lot of investor interest,” said Evan Halkias, senior director of Cushman and Wakefield. Halkias said the property is seen as a unique asset with a lot of value that has been trending positively the last few years. “In the event that there is

a sale to a new owner, it will be business as usual for our shoppers and guests.While the property is being marketed to potential buyers,The Promenade will continue to grown and enhance its exciting mix of sales promotions, family events, and shopping and dining options,” reported the management of The Promenade in a press release. The retail center is 91 percent

occupied, leaving added value in leasing space for potential buyers, suggesting an impressive net growth, said Halkias. The property was opened in 2007 at a total cost of $152 million. Since then, a number of outparcels have been sold, said Linton. The current asking price is yet to be determined and will be market driven, said Halkias.

Bolingbrook minority businesses helping each other By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

In an effort to help one another navigate the nuances of starting a business, the Minority Business

Exchange was formed last year and is now seeking to expand. Membership is free, and members of the MBE meet monthly to share ideas and opportunities that aid in developing, growing and sustaining local businesses. The group speared from the Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce in 2012 but membership in the Chamber is not required to participate. With at least 10 percent of Bolingbrook businesses minorityowned, group chairman Toni Greathouse said it is important to reach out to all minorities and encourage their input to foster the group’s mission of helping such businesses flourish. The group’s goal is to help ethnic business owners gain access to contacts and information through every stage of business growth and development. Greathouse said the group is expanding its offerings to include not only networking but real hands-on help in terms of business

“So often, we are fo-

cused on getting customers and selling, selling, that we don’t always think of the big picture.” Toni Greathouse, Minority Business Exchange chair planning, targeting potential suppliers, securing funding sources and MBE certification. “So often, we are focused on getting customers and selling, selling, that we don’t always think of the big picture,”said Greathouse. “Others within the group just might be able to help give you a different perspective. We want to be a local source of support and help them realize what it takes to sustain a business.” Greathouse explains that a disproportionate number of minority firms operate as sole proprietorships. For example, 82 percent of minority-owned firms are sole proprietorships, versus

71 percent for non-minority firms. To move to the next level, these firms must shift from a “100 percent CEO” model to a model incorporating strong managers who will provide the capabilities necessary for sufficient growth. “To position minority businesses for dramatic growth, there is an urgent need to pursue more opportunities to employ innovative growth strategies (such as strategic alliances and partnerships) with corporations as well as government agencies, which is what the chamber seeks to facilitate,” said Greathouse. The next presentation at MBE meeting will be a presentation by Accion Chicago. Accion is a small business lender, dedicated to providing financing and business education to small businesses. Future meetings plan to center on business planning and the group encourages input from its members on what is most important to them. For more information, call 630226-8420.

Will County union workers march for fair pay, benefits after year without contract

By Stewart Warren For Voyager Media

Kathy Henderson stood on her tip-toes, trying to get closer to the microphone. The petite blonde couldn’t reach it.The podium was too tall. She was feeling really nervous. There were hundreds of people in front of her, many of them fellow members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1028. They had come late Thursday afternoon to the parking lot of the Will County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago St., Joliet, to protest the fact that they had spent the past year working without a contract. Now it was time to address the crowd. Leaning forward, she began her story: For the past 10 years, Henderson has worked in the Will County Circuit Court Clerk’s office, handling legal files and helping the public. Despite a decade of service, she doesn’t make much money. Now county officials wanted to increase the cost of employees’ medical insurance despite the fact that AFSCME workers hadn’t had a cost-of-living raise in four years.

Will County AFSCME members led by Henry Bayer, former director of AFSCME Council No. 31, Dave Delrose AFSCME Local No. 1028 and Roberta Lynch, State AFSCME council, march to the Will County Building.

“We do the hard, thankless jobs that make Will County work,” Henderson said. “I struggle every day to make ends meet.” And then she made the crowd roar: “Our choice is clear: We either take what the county wants to give us, or we can fight back,”

Festival to spread joy through music By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Growing each year, the community is gearing up for JOYFEST, a family-fun Christian musical event that brings the community together as well as draws crowds from throughout the area. The free event will take place from 1 to 7 p.m. Sept. 7 behind Bolingbrook’s Village Hall, 300 Briarcliff Road. Sheldon Watts, chairman of the planning committee, said this year there is an amazing line-up of performers including choirs and praise teams from many of the local churches. In addition, well-known gospel artists such as Stellar, Dove and Grammynominated singer and songwriter Kim Stratton, extraordinary singer Keshia McFarland, Joshlyn Lomax of the Soul Children of Chicago, Buster Woods and G3, and The Wheaton College

Choir, the regional finalist in the 2012 “How Sweet The Sound Contest.” Food and product vendors such as Nancy’s Pizza and Johnson Bros. will be on site as well. JOYFEST will also be host to giveaways and numerous activities for children including two large inflatable bounce houses, a climbing wall, and the Fountaindale Library Book Mobile. Originally, before its inception in 1998,the Bolingbrook Christian community sponsored a small indoor concert at James Addams Middle School called Gospel Fest. Local residents, -- Leroy Brown, Christen Parker and Pastor Brown -- reached beyond the Bolingbrook community, pulling in Ministries from Chicago, Joliet and other towns to found JOYFEST. JOYFEST took to the outdoors in 2000 and has grown into the event it is today, attracting people from all over Bolingbrook, the Chicago area and Indiana.

Henderson said. Wearing emerald-green T-shirts proclaiming, “Will County Strong – AFSCME 1028,” the group began gathering before 4:45 p.m. Thursday outside the Will County Courthouse, 14 W. Jefferson St., Joliet. Most of them carried matching signs declaring their

cause, and they chanted loudly while waiting for the march to begin at 5:30 p.m. “Who are we?” a large man bellowed. “We’re AFSCME!” “What do we want?” he screamed. “A fair contract!” When the Joliet police officers blocked traffic, they began marching through Chicago Street. The crowd was huge, yet orderly. At one point, the mass of people stretched from Jefferson Street north to the main branch of the Joliet Public Library. “Hey, honk your horn!” they yelled to the drivers of cars idling nearby. And when one motorist made his horn blare, they all screamed. When they arrived at the Will County Office Building, Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” was playing on a loudspeaker system as the AFSCME workers and their supporters gathered around the stage. Dave Delrose, the union’s local president and a counselor at the Will County Health Department, was the first to speak, explaining he would have to ad lib because his notes had disappeared

somewhere on Chicago Street. “We are here to stand next to each other and say that any harm that is done to any one of us is done to all of us,” Delrose said. He introduced the local leaders who were there, including Will County Board members Reed Bible, D-Plainfield, and Mark Ferry, D-Plainfield, and Joliet city councilmen Bob O’DeKirk and Larry Hug. Near the end of the rally, Joanne Crowder of Joliet, a registered nurse who works at Sunny Hill Nursing Home, spoke while Kahlia Crowder, her young daughter, stood at her side. The nursing home’s workers truly deserved more money, Crowder said. They cared for the county’s elderly residents, often reaching into their own pockets to buy necessities for them. “The pay is so low that some of our employees qualify for public assistance, like food stamps,” Crowder said. After the rally, Delrose said the union’s representatives were meeting Aug. 23 with a federal mediator and county leaders. “This will hopefully be our kickoff for a fair settlement,” Delrose said.

Rare warbird to take flight at Lewis University By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

In an effort to make history come alive, the Experimental Aircraft Association is bringing one of World War II’s most iconic planes, a restored B-17G Flying Fortress “Aluminum Overcast,” for tours at Lewis University. Plane and history enthusiasts will have an opportunity at what is called a historic flight experience Sept. 6 through Sept. 8. Hosted by the EAA Warbird Squadron 4, the B-17 Aluminum Overcast will make a tour stop at main terminal ramp at Lewis University. The fully-restored B-17 has been traveling the world since 1994 and is called more than a plane, but also a traveling museum, offering an opportunity to witness first hand an important relic of history. Aluminum Overcast carries the colors of the 398th Bomb Group of World War II, which

flew hundreds of missions over Nazi-held territory during the war. Aluminum Overcast commemorates B-17G #42102515, which was shot down on its 34th combat mission over Le Manior, France, on Aug. 13, 1944. Veterans of the 398th helped finance the bomber’s restoration. The B-17 was donated to the Experimental Aircraft Association in 1983,and an extensive program of restoration and preservation was undertaken to ensure the Aluminum Overcast would be a living reminder of World War II aviation. The restoration took more than 10 years and countless hours of work by EAA staff and volunteers. A ground tour will be offered, priced at $10 per adult and $20 per family.Active military,veterans and children 8 and under are free. Weather permitting, tours are scheduled from 2 to 5 p.m. For those who want to take to

the air, flights are being offered. You can pre-book a flight for $449 for non-members; EAA members, $409; walk-up flights are $475 for non-members; and $435 for EAA members. The daily flight schedule is set for 10, 11, noon and 1 p.m. The aircraft is one of only

13 Fortresses still flying and is an icon of the Allied strategic bombing effort that helped turn the tide of battle in World War II. The 65,000 lb. B-17 bomber carried soldiers who were bombardiers, navigators, and waist gunners and is regaled as one of World War II’s most vital

and magnificent aircrafts. To book a flight or for more information, visit www.b17.org/ reserve or call 1-800-359-6217. Proceeds from the tour fund the continued restoration, maintenance, and preservation efforts of the EAA and help keep the Aluminum Overcast flying.

New web resource for those in need By Nick Reiher Managing Editor

When you’re overwhelmed and looking for help, the last thing you need is to be overwhelmed by how and where to look. Representatives from Will County, health professional and dozens of social service agencies in Will and Grundy counties on Aug. 23 launched a new website, www. willfinduhelp.org, that serves as a one-stop shop for those seeking many different kinds of help and don’t know where to go. Managed by Crisis Line of Will County, the website can serve as a search engine, where those in need can enter a word or phrase such as “seniors” or “mental health” and get a local listing of agencies available to help. There is even a way to translate the information into one of dozens of languages, said Michele Batara, Crisis Line director.

“This website will offer another avenue of sharing important information with our residents,” Batara said. “Our priority lies with assisting people who are in immediate crisis. This … will help us maintain a high level of personal service, while making other information available to our residents when they need it.” The website was borne out of years of research by some 60 agencies in the community through the Will County MAPP (Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships). At the kickoff event, John Cicero, Will County Health Department director, said the county is required to update its resource plan every five years. They found from a community survey several years ago that many people didn’t know what resources were available to them. Crisis Line may be most noted for suicide prevention, but the volunteers from the local agency in 2012 helped refer 50,000 callers with many

types of needs, including financial, medical substance abuse, shelter and food. That has been the case since Crisis Line of Will County, which also serves Grundy, took its first call on Aug. 26, 1976, Batara said. The tough economy drove many of those calls then as it does now, she added. The website is set up to be interactive so that agencies can add themselves to the site, or update the information already on there. They can add calendars of upcoming events, and any other pertinent information to get out to the public. All entries will be screened before they are posted on the site to make sure they are accurate and appropriate. Cicero said the website is the culmination of a lot of work by a lot of people. But he and others said they will continue to work to improve it toward the ultimate goal: “A better quality of life for our residents.”

Open House at Bridges to New Day counseling agency Bridges to a New Day counseling agency is hosting an open house at their new office in Romeoville from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., August 29.

2 Martinez students earn national honors for poetry TwoA.Vito Martinez 7th graders have been named semi-finalists and are under consideration for the Editor’s Choice Award in the American Library of Poetry’s student poetry contest. The honor means poems written by Emily Hughes and Michelle Jacobo will be published in the organization’s “Discovered: 2013 Poetry Collection” along with poetry written by other students from across the country. Hughes, an honor student, who calls herself “a bit of an overachiever” admits to having written an 11-page narrative in Amy O’Mara’s sixth grade language arts class last year when all of the other students were turning in two and three page papers. “I’m nervous about finding out the final winners,” said Hughes, who hopes to be a journalist and an author of children’s stories someday. “At the same time it’s very exciting because I

made it to the semifinals which is an amazing accomplishment already.” Hughes’ poem “Hope the Dog” was inspired by her American Bulldog named Hope who joined her family as a puppy around New Year’s last year and quickly grew into a dog who is “bigger than everything.” Jacobo, who is also an honor student, is a member of the Martinez band and readily

admits she wants to be a musician someday. Her poem “Piano” relates her memories as she progresses “from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Prelude and beyond” and all the “big improvement” in between. “This is really special,” she said. “I really didn’t expect it.” “I knew when I read these, they were special,” said O’Mara as she recalled having the students in her classroom last year.“When

the American Library of Poetry contacted me and said they were winners, I was not surprised.” The awards, given annually by the San Diego-based organization, are designed to help students express their creativity through writing by sharing their thoughts, feelings and experiences. Three winners from each of four age divisions will be announced at the end of September. The Editor’s Choice Award will go to one of those age division winners.

In front of my eyes stands a black and white treasure, confused, I wonder what it is. A gift for my mother, not for me. I remember trying to reach the 50 key keyboard, I watched as it sat there collecting dust, until I started playing. I used my mother’s college notes, I learned keys, notes, and fingering by heart they were all in Spanish. One day we found a piano teacher. I was a happy, jumping monkey. Today, two years into lessons, 50 keys are now 88 weighted keys, I’ve gone from Twinkle Little Star to Prelude The feeling of accomplishment runs through me. Piano isn’t a hobby, It’s a passion, That only comes when you put your heart and soul into what you love.

I hear a car door slam I can feel my heart thumping in my head That wiggling little ball of fur carried in the door. Little eyes peek out My heart opens wide People crowd around Waiting their turn. I bring you to my room and set you on the floor you nervously shake until you find comfort in my lap. I caress your fragile ears and ponder what names would be good? Cookie, Blondie, Sugar No name could fit that joy. You are my love, my dream, my comfort, my altogether stress I realized that you are the start

Adam’s Law fights back against distracted driving By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Cheryl Miller stood outside Bulita School where her son would have been a first-grader, wishing he could be attending. Instead, she was sending an emotional plea for drivers to concentrate on the road and nothing else. On Nov. 15, 2008, Bolingbrook resident John Miller parked his vehicle on the right-hand lane of Plainfield/Naperville Road after he experienced a flat tire. Not long after, a man who was attempting to light a cigar while driving, clearly distracted, plowed into the back of Miller’s vehicle, ultimately killing 5-year old Adam Miller in the process. “Adam clearly had a lot to say and contribute, but never got the chance when a driver looked away and plowed into our car leaving Adam brain dead,” said Cheryl Miller. “Harder still, it wasn’t like a DUI that is punishable. Distracted driving is treated like nothing more than a

LAURA KATAUSKAS/STAFF REPORTER

Cheryl Miller urges drivers to concentrate on the road, sharing the story of her 5-year-old son Adam, killed by a distracted driver.

speeding ticket and dismissed with a shrug of the shoulders … Texting, dialing, multitasking … should not happen in the car. It is deadly and life

altering.” Turning grief into action, the Millers sought an outlet to both remember their son and bring awareness to distracted driving. Working with local legislators Adams Law was created and a roadside memorial program created. It started as a pilot program a few years ago through collaboration from Cheryl Miller, state Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, and state Rep., Tom Cross, R-Oswego, and reintroduced by state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet.

Adam’s Law allows families to honor victims of distracted driving by placing markers along roadways. The makers must be ordered through IDOT, and the individual or group who places the order are responsible for all costs associated with placing it. Therefore, there is no cost to taxpayers. Last week’s press conference came on the news that Adam’s Law, House Bill 1345 passed, re-enacting the Roadside Memorial Program which had expired in December 2012. The pilot program was

temporary because the Illinois Department of Transportation was unsure of the demand. Manley picked up the legislation finding IDOT was not opposed to making the program permanent. “The goal of my legislation is to provide families with an appropriate venue for honoring their loved ones, while raising awareness about the dangers of distracted driving,” said Manley. Miller said she believes the law and the program calls attention to the problem, reminding drivers to put down the phone or hands off the radio or to even pull over if they are tired, which has been her ultimate goal. “We can all do better. Shut the phone off. I see moms here today. Model safe driving to your kids. Teach new drivers, and share Adam’s story,” said Miller. “We are here today to celebrate Adam’s life, but boy do I wish I could be buying school supplies today. Distracted driving is a proven killer. We hope to save lives with this.” Other members of families victimized by distracted driving spoke; one whose mom was killed because a driver was painting her nails while driving 50 mph; another a daughter killed because a driver was busy on the phone. The message was clear and simple: Just drive, and leave the distractions at home. Otherwise, the consequences are deadly.

BOLINGBROOK RAIDERS OFFENSE

For the first time in three seasons, the Raiders will go to battle without Aaron Bailey at quarterback. Sure, junior Quincy Woods may not look like Bailey under center, but he will still be a productive weapon under center.Woods was able to get reps last season when Bailey was out with injury and got better every game.Woods has a productive arm and can run the football. As far as running the ball, Bolingbrook will return senior tailback Jaden Huff. The senior is being recruited by several schools,including Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and Western Illinois. Bolingbrook also returns the bulk of an offensive line in front of Woods and Huff that were able to gain experience See RAIDERS, page 17

Sports

SWSC BLUE PREVIEW It appears every season as if the S o u t h We s t Suburban C o n fe re n c e Blue Division is claimed by either Bolingbrook or LincolnWay East and that looks to be the case again this year. Both teams will look different on offense, each losing a star quarterback to one Land of Lincoln Big Ten school, as Bolingbrook’s Aaron Bailey is at Illinois and the Griffins’ Tommy Fuessel to Northwestern. Lincoln-Way East will again reload as it always does and be a contender for the SWSC Blue crown and another deep run in the post season. Bolingbrook knows a little something about reloading itself and is ready to do just that. With Bailey being plagued by injury a year ago, Quincy Woods got time at the quarterback position and while he may not resemble Bailey in size and stature, Woods proved he can get the job done on the field. He will be joined by senior running back Jaden Huff, who is primed for a big season. Defensively the Raiders are as good as always and feature defensive end Micah DewTredway, linebacker Tuf Borland and the best player in the league, defensive back Parrker Westphal. After the top two teams, the next few are a crap shoot. Homewood-Floosmoor has crept closer to the top two in the league over the last few years, but has a tough run to start the season, with Simeon and Stevenson before getting into conference play. Seniors Bobby Krop (running back) and Seen Leland (quarterback) return at skill positions for Sandburg, but will they be enough to compete with the big dogs? Joliet West is a team that every year has people waiting for a breakout season that has yet to arrive. Senior quarterback Anthony DiNardo is back after an injury last season, but will he be able to stay healthy again and if he can, is that enough to earn the Tigers’ first winning season

under coach Jason Aubrey. Lockport is a team searching for an identity, as the one-time state power fell on hard times as of late, posting a 1-8 record a season ago. The Porters return several key offensive pieces in hopes to take steps back to their winning ways. Unlike Lockport, Joliet Central has an identity, but it is one it is desperate to shake, as the Steelmen have yet to win a game since the Joliet split in 2010. Central has been getting better every season thus far and a win or two seems to be right around the corner. While it has been a while since Stagg has been in the big school side of the conference, first year head coach Michael Fahey was the defensive coordinator when they last were and is familiar with the teams. Unfortunately, that means he knows how hard his job will be to rebuild a team that posted three wins total the last two years.

MARK’S PICKS 1. Bolingbrook - The Raiders defense is just too much for a rebuilding Lincoln-Way East to contend with this season. 2. Lincoln-Way East Finishing second is no slouch in this league, as it usually comes with only one conference loss. 3. Homewood-Flossmoor The Vikings have slowly pulled away from Sandburg as the No. 3 team in the SWSC Blue, but have yet to reach the level of the top two teams. 4. Sandburg - They are ahead of the bottom half of the league at least for now. Only time will tell if the Eagles move close to H-F or get caught by the teams below them. 5. Lockport - This spot is a toss-up between the Porters

and Joliet West, but pride and tradition are on the side of Lockport. 6. Joliet West - The have the talent to be in the top five, or even four, but I drank the Kool-Aid the last few years and was let down. While I won’t be surprised with a winning season, the Tigers have to earn me back. 7. Joliet Central - The Steelmen will get at least one win this season and I’m going to go on a limb and say two. While I’m looking at Stagg for one win, I think the Steelmen will pull off one other upset. 8. Stagg - Welcome to the Jungle Chargers. This side of the SWSC is a little different than you are used to. mark@buglenewspapers.com

2013 Football TOP TEAM Scott: Bolingbrook Synopsis: There is something about Bolingbrook that I really like this year. With Aaron Bailey gone, many people think the Raiders aren’t a state contender this year. However, Quincy Woods gained some experience last year when Bailey was hurt and that should pay off this year.

There is a lot of talent around him on offense. Meanwhile, the defense was young last year and should be much improved. Mark: JCA Synopsis: Just like Bolingbrook, everyone is looking at who the Hillmen lost (ie Ty Issac) and not what they gained. Joliet Catholic is now back to their blue collar, lunch-

pail mentality of pounding the football and that has proven to be successful over the years. A tough ESCC schedule might not produce the best regular season record, but the battles will play off in the post season.

SURPRISE TEAM Scott: Plainfield South Synopsis: Some people may think Clifton Garrett is a oneman show for the Cougars. However, that is not the case. The Cougars have become consistently competitive and an off season last year was still good enough for a 4-5 record. With a lot of attrition throughout the Southwest Prairie Conference, I think the Cougars could bring home six or seven wins this year. The defense looks solid and if the offense can improve a bit, South will be a tough out. Mark: Minooka Synopsis: It is well documented that the Indians have a tough task to open the season with Morris, Providence and Oswego in their first three games. Those battles, along with coach Paul Forsyth having a season under his belt, will have the Indians ready for a Southwest Prairie Conference that after Oswego is up for grabs. Minooka should challenge for that second spot in the SPC and will be battle-tested in the playoffs.

TOP OFFENSIVE PLAYER Scott: Chris James, Notre Dame Synopsis: Everyone knows who is going to get the ball for the Dons, but that didn’t seem to matter. The highprofile Division-I recruit led our coverage area in rushing last

year as a junior and it wouldn’t surprise mean to top his average per game from last year. I think there is enough balance there to take some pressure off him, and even if not, he will still produce. Mark: Jack Beneventi, Benet Synopsis: Even though he lost practically his entire receiver corps from last year, Beneventi is too talented not to find someone to catch the football. Only a junior, the 6-6, 190 pound signal caller already has looks from more than a dozen schools, including Stanford, Michigan, USC, Notre Dame and Georgia.

TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYER Scott: Clifton Garrett, Plainfield South Synopsis: It is hard to go against the No. 59 recruit in the nation, according to ESPN. When you are being recruited by the likes of LSU, Florida and Tennessee, you are good. Garrett also got the experience of playing at “The Opening,” Nike’s summer camp. He also has the motivation of playing well to keep his scholarship since he hasn’t committed yet. Mark: Parrker Westphal, Bolingbrook Synopsis: I agree completely with Scott that Garrett will be a star this season, but I think he and Westphal are pretty much No.1 and No. 1-A in the area. Ranked as the No. 17 defensive back in the nation by Rivals. com,Westphal may not generate the numbers as some of the top defenders, because as a topnotch corner back, teams don’t attack his side of the field. Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow said Westphal took a step forward from last season, comparing his growth to that

of Antonio Morrison between his junior and senior seasons. That right there should scare opposing offenses.

BREAKOUT PLAYER Scott: Anthony Love, Romeoville Synopsis: Love has spent time on varsity the past two years for the Spartans. A tight end as a sophomore, Love showcased his athleticism. He played on both sides of the ball last year and has turned into a defensive player to watch. I expect to see a huge season from Love where he could end up with 100-plus tackles. Mark: Tim Doll, Westmont Synopsis: A talented, multisport athlete, Doll now has the legendary Otto Zeman calling the plays. Zeman coached six all-state quarterbacks in his 28 years at Riverside-Brookfield and Doll has all the talent to be No. 7.

SURPRISE PLAYER Scott: Shane Briscoe, Minooka Synopsis: Briscoe, a coach’s son, performed well in limited action with the Indians last year. It is his team this year and I think he will make a name for himself. Minooka had a down year last year in missing the playoffs and I think he is a big reason why they get back this year. Mark: Brendan Reed, Lockport Synopsis: The 6-foot, 2-inch, 175 pound senior wide receiver will be the main target in the Porters’ passing game this season. He returns along with quarterback Ryan Dalton, who was able to get a rapport with Reed all last season.

ROMEOVILLE SPARTANS OFFENSE

Injuries to the varsity quarterbacks last season may have had an impact on Romeoville’s 0-9 season a year ago and while that was disappointin, those injuries also forced then-sophomore Kelvin Jones to get varsity experience. That will help him as he takes over the reigns of the Spartans this season. Senior running back Miguel Ford will carry the ball a lot for Romeoville, as will power back Gil Whitaker. When the Spartans go to the air, Jones will have a huge target to look for in 6-foot, 4-inch, 230 pound tight end Mickey Crnkovich. Kuna calls him a prototypical tight end, saying he is as good of a blocker as a receiver. The Spartans will have five solid receiver options, led by Chuck Hunter, who when not catching passes, he will defend them as defensive back.

DEFENSE The defense all starts up front with Division-I recruit Anthony

In looking at the Raiders this season, they will again compete with Lincoln-Way East for a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division crown. While that is a good step in the right direction, Bolingbrook wants to erase last year’s second-round loss to Neuqua Valley. It was the Raiders’ third second-round exit in six seasons, sandwiched around their Class 8A state title in 2011. Bolingbrook will again face Valley View School District rival Romeoville in week 2. That game starts a string of five straight games against opponents with losing records from a year ago. They then end the campaign with last season’s winning programs Homewood-Flossmoor, LincolnWay East and Sandburg. “Our first goal is always to get our five wins and qualify for the playoffs,” Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow said. “The way the schedule works is great, we can get our five and qualify for the playoffs before those three and then they won’t matter as much.”

on the varsity level a year ago.The Raiders also get kicker Adam Klein back from injury this season. He connected on 80 percent of his extra points as a freshman on the state final game, including hitting bit PATs in the state quarterfinal contest against Naperville Central, which came down to converted extra points.

DEFENSE The defense is usually the anchor of the Bolingbrook team, and that looks to be the case again. The Raiders return All-State caliber senior defensive back Parrker Westphal. Westphal has offers on the table from nearly two dozen college teams, including most of the Big Ten, Florida and Notre Dame. He will be joined by junior defensive end Micah Dew-Tredway and sophomore linebacker Tuf Borland, who started as a freshman last year.Also returning with varsity experience are junior twins Julian and Jacob Huff. Julian is a returning linebacker, while Jacob will be at

Whitaker will lead the pack. The defensive backfield will also be littered with two-way players, as Ford, Hunter and receiver/backup quarterback Mark Hammond as well as DLante Dawson.

OVERALL While it may look like it is a long way from an 0-9 season to the playoffs, that is not so much the case in the Southwest Prairie Conference. With the usual parity in the SPC, it looks like every team in the league will be fighting for the No. 2 spot behind Oswego. “We knew we were going to have a lot of guys back from last season to this season,” Kuna said. It was a matter of how they got themselves ready for this season and how they prepared and they did that. “They worked at it and got bigger and faster and stronger and put themselves in a good position. Now we have to go out and face another team and see how we compete in someone wearing a jersey other than blue and orange and white.” - Compiled by Mark Gregory

PLAINFIELD NORTH TIGERS OFFENSE

The Tigers will have to replace quarterback Kurt Palandech, running back Jay Roberts and several members of their offensive line from last year. Sophomore J.D. Ekowa has the edge in the quarterback battle over Ben Tegtmeyer and Jared Samms. Junior Quintin Hoosman and senior Robert Baker will look to replace Roberts in the backfield. Chris Mack, Jack O’Connor, Kendall Battle and Samms are competing for wide receiver spots. Peter Krusiewicz got some playing time last year on the offensive line. Jack Kramer and Brian Smith are also competing for offensive line spots, among others. The Tigers are again expected to use multiple formations. “We have to utilize our talent and the guys we have out there,” North coach Tim Kane said.

and Martin Mcgrail are also back. Several will be in different positions this year.

OVERALL Plainfield North has made the playoffs three of its past four years, but is still looking for that first playoff win. “Each year the senior class wants to do something it hasn’t done before,” Kane said. “We haven’t won a playoff game, so it would be nice for us to get into the playoffs and take that step. We are going to be pretty young, especially on the offensive side of the ball, so we’re going to have to take care of the ball.” A nonconference loss in each of the Tigers’ last two playoff appearances may have been the difference between a home and road playoff game. This year they play a pair of new foes in Westinghouse and Pekin. “We have to play well in those non-conference games and be ready to go when we go into conference,” Kane stated. -Compiled by Scott Taylor

senior receivers with some varsity experience.The offensive line will have to replace Northwestern recruit Tyler Lancaster. East coach Mike Romeli feels that the Bengals will have to utilize their speed and get the ball on the outside.

DEFENSE The defensive line will have to replace Lancaster as well and will be led by junior Daniel Jackson. Rompa (74 tackles, 4 sacks) and fellow senior Jovani Urbieta (20 tackles) will lead the linebacker corps and Jordan Dobyne will anchor the secondary from the free safety position. “We are an undersized group that will look to utilize our speed to cause turnovers,” Romeli stated.

OVERALL Plainfield East is coming off a 2-7 season, with a 2-5 mark in the Southwest Prairie Conference.The Bengals are still looking for their first playoff appearance. That goal seems to be more in reach this year as in week two they replace Batavia (9-1 last year) with West Aurora (3-6).

Now it’s time for apricots I

’ve always felt a special love for summer fruits, because they’re so delicious and they come and go so quickly. Fresh berries - true local, seasonal ones, not those that arrive after long voyages by land or sea -are around for a matter of weeks.The stone fruits of summer - cherries, then peaches and nectarines, and finally the apricots that arrive later in summer - can seem even more fleeting. Now, in many places, we’re really getting into serious apricot season.Walk through farmers’ markets and you’ll see those deep, plump little orange-golden fruit practically glowing on the stands.You can sometimes smell their sweet, slightly musky aroma from many feet away. If I’m offered a taste, I have to close my eyes to shut out the rest of the world, so rich, sweet, firm, and juicy those ripe, local, in-season apricots taste. I could just stand right there in the farmers’ market and go on eating them. But, to be honest, what ripe apricots really make me want to do is start cooking with them. I’ll slice them and arrange them on top of pie dough or puff pastry to make open-faced tarts. Or I’ll slice them up into fruit salads, or even add them to main-course salads featuring cooked poultry, seafood, or meat. If I have a big bagful of apricots, I might even dry some. I’ll wash, halve, and pit them and then put them in a countertop dehydrator.You could also arrange them skin side down on a big baking sheet lined with parchment paper and then dry them in the oven at its lowest temperature setting with the oven door propped ajar, leaving them there all day - up to 12 hours or more - until they’re leathery but still pliable. (Don’t leave the house while you’re doing this, and keep kids and pets away!) Once cooled, the dried fruit can be stored in an airtight container. Or I might just make an apricot version of one of my favorite classic desserts, Peach Melba. Originally created in the late-19th century by the famed London-based French chef Auguste Escoffier to honor the great Australian opera star Dame Nellie Melba, this dessert usually combines poached peaches with vanilla ice cream and a raspberry sauce. I like the way apricots, with their slightly tart and musky flavors, give the dessert a different personality. In fact, in the recipe I share here, those flavors pair especially well with tangy frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. If you like, you can opt for low-fat or nonfat frozen yogurt and omit the whippedcream garnish to make this a surprisingly light dessert that still feels spectacularly indulgent. And who wouldn’t want to indulge when there’s a sudden, soon-to-vanish bounty of one of summer’s special pleasures?

APRICOT MELBA WITH FROZEN YOGURT AND FRESH RASPBERRY SAUCE Serves 6 POACHED APRICOTS: 2 cups water 1 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Zest of 1 lemon 12 ripe but firm apricots, halved and pitted FRESH RASPBERRY SAUCE: 1 pound fresh raspberries 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice FOR SERVING: 1 pint vanilla frozen yogurt 1 cup heavy cream, whipped, optional Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting, optional 3/4 cup toasted sliced almonds In a medium saucepan, stir together the water, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. Bring to a boil over mediumhigh heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Add the apricot halves to this syrup. Continue simmering until the apricots are cooked through but still firm and with their skins intact, about 5 minutes, gently turning them over about halfway through poaching. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside, leaving the apricots in the syrup until cooled to room temperature. For the Raspberry Sauce, put the berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor fitted with the stainlesssteel blade. Process until smoothly pureed, stopping once or twice as necessary to scrape down the bowl. Set a fine-meshed strainer over a bowl and pour the sauce into the strainer, pressing it through with a rubber spatula to remove the seeds. Set the sauce aside. To serve, scoop the frozen yogurt into individual chilled serving bowls. With a large spoon, remove the apricots from the syrup, arranging 4 halves around each serving of frozen yogurt. (Reserve the poaching syrup in a covered container in the refrigerator for another use, such as serving it over ice cream or frozen yogurt.) With a spoon, generously drizzle the Raspberry Sauce over each serving. Garnish with whipped cream, if you like, and toasted almonds. Or dust with confectioners’ sugar and garnish with almonds.

Real Estate & Business

Get the credit you deserve Can’t be too picky about bankruptcy Q. When my boss asks for ideas, I find I will often state a good idea, it will get talked over, and then someone says the same thing and takes the credit. Is there a way I diplomatically can point out that I said it first? A. Yes, you can use your frustration strategically to point out after your teammate restates your idea that you said it first. Many quiet, introverted people get accustomed at work to being run over verbally by louder colleagues. I have clients who have ended up in self-destructive cycles where the more they withdraw, the more others trample them in meetings. After a while, the members of your team will simply get used to ignoring you or interrupting you.You are going to need to retrain your coworkers if you want the cycle of getting talked over to stop. Next time you start to articulate an idea and someone starts to talk, pause and neutrally

say,“I know you didn’t know I wasn’t finished.” Carefully watch your body language and tone of voice to be calm. If you say these words in an angry way, your coworkers will respond to feeling criticized and not to your request to finish your statements. You’ve been storing up a lot frustration.When people finally speak up after experiencing a mountain of anger, they can easily bury coworkers in all that rage. Most people get scared and then enraged back when others express intense fury. Unfortunately, the point gets lost in all this exchange of emotion. You’ll find that even when you have made sure to finish your statements, your group may still not hear what you said. If you find you’re still not getting credit, there are two explanations: 1.You are quite smart and, without knowing it, you are

talking over the heads of people on your team.You need to dumb down and simplify your idea so everyone can track what you’re saying.When your coworker repeats the idea, people respond because your coworker has simplified it. 2.You are stating your idea without appealing to the needs and agendas of your coworkers. When your coworker repeats the idea he is restating your basic concept while making the idea attractive to everyone. In your next meeting, pretend you are in an interpersonal lab trying out different approaches to experiment with results. If you try lots of different strategies and find you are still dismissed, then your group is simply accustomed to ignoring your ideas. There is another powerful option that fixes the problem of losing credit to the coworker who repeats your good idea. After your coworker finishes restating your idea, neutrally tag on,“Yes, I agree with (insert coworker’s name).As I said, a few minutes ago (restate what you said in the meeting).” Now expand on your good idea. You won’t come across as huffy. Everyone will stop ignoring you and you’ll finally get the credit you are due. Being mad about feeling victimized by people at work can feel gratifying in the short term. Feeling powerful because you changed to get what you want will bring you far more durable satisfaction.

Dear Dave, My husband and I would like to buy a home in the next year or so. My credit is in pretty bad shape, so we’ve decided to work on getting his credit in better shape in order to qualify for a mortgage loan. I have $104,000 in debt, and $92,000 of that is in student loans. He has $13,000 in debt, with $7,000 of that a repossession on a car for which he was a cosigner. Can I file bankruptcy on my debts only? Latrell Dear Latrell, You can’t file bankruptcy on certain, specific items. By the way, student loans are not bankruptable. Even if you filed, you would still have all that debt hanging around your neck. I want you to own a home, but I don’t want your home to own you. Neither one of you have done very well with money so far, and at this point I’m afraid a house would be a curse instead of a blessing in your lives. I would encourage you to build a stronger financial foundation before you buy a house. In short, this means you need to get out of debt, save money, and start living on a budget. Latrell, buying a house when you’re broke and deeply in debt is never a good idea. I’m not

trying to be mean, but I really think you’re asking the wrong question. I don’t want you to try and use bankruptcy as some kind of escape from this situation. Right now, I want you to change your behavior with money and get things cleaned up with a good, organized financial plan in your lives. —Dave

Ever-changing budget Dear Dave, Should a budget change every month? Anonymous Dear Anonymous, Yes, it should.Your life changes every month, and your budget should reflect the ebb and flow of your life. This is part of the reason I urge people to do a budget on paper, on purpose before the next month begins.You may look at the upcoming month and realize the kids have soccer pictures scheduled.There may be a school trip planned, or they may need back-to-school clothes and supplies. When it comes to a budget, there’s no easy out.Things change from month to month, and you need to think, plan ahead, and itemize so your budget is an accurate reflection of your life! —Dave

Torture museums in Europe always a big hit

Y

ou may think that the endless security lines at the airport are torturous - but they are child’s play compared with what heretics and criminals faced in the Middle Ages. Medieval torture was used both to extract confessions and to punish the convicted prior to execution. Torturers had a huge toolkit with which to practice their bleak black art. Nowadays, ridiculous torture exhibits are cleverly marketed all over Europe.They’re equipped with scary and gory gear - but most of it isn’t genuine.The purveyors make lots of money by appealing to the lowest desires of dumbeddown travelers willing to pay $15 to ponder the creative ways in which people have maimed and mutilated others through the ages. But in a handful of places, more thoughtful displays can be an insightful (if creepy) window into medieval criminal justice. At the Tower of London, for example, instructive exhibits recreate the Tower’s bloody history of torture and execution. Standing high above the rest of old London, the Tower was a gleaming reminder of the monarch’s absolute power over his subjects. If you made the wrong move here, you could be feasting on roast boar in the Banqueting Hall one night and chained to the walls of the prison the next.

The limb-stretching rack was a favored device in the Tower. Like many instruments of torture, the threat of the device could be almost as effective as actually using it. Just the sight of the rack intimidated many a prisoner (guilty or not) into making a full confession. If you visit the Tower of London, be sure to take one of the included tours, led by a Beefeater guide who tells the Tower’s history with macabre enthusiasm. The Medieval Crime Museum in Rothenburg, Germany, specializes in everything connected to medieval criminal justice: the police, criminal law and instruments of punishment and execution. In the Middle Ages, European courts considered torture to be a legitimate way of extracting confessions, names of accomplices or the details of a plot - typically relating to the crime of treason against a king or nobleman. When it came to the Inquisition, the Church saw deviations from its doctrines as treason against God - the King of Kings - and in that way justified its own use of torture. In southwest France, the fortress called Maison Forte de Reignac is scenically tucked into a rock face high above the Vezere River. Seen from the outside, you wouldn’t suspect that its rooms catalogue more than 60 instruments of torture. On view is an “iron maiden,” a coffin-shaped box lined with iron spikes. A variant was the torture chair, covered in spikes. This harsh medieval justice was tinged with superstition. Petty sinners were publicly humiliated: Bakers who turned out undersized loaves were

consigned to ridicule in the baker’s chair - a too-small metal chair. An iron mask with a mouth clamp stilled the tongues of libelers and nags. Drunkards were outfitted in a barrel and made to parade up and down the streets to proclaim their sorry ways. More serious offenders would be dragged to the churchyard to face a “trial by ordeal.” To decide their guilt or innocence, alleged criminals might be forced to grab a red-hot iron or pull a stone from a cauldron of boiling water. If they were unharmed, they were innocent. If it hurt like heck, they were really punished - whipped, tortured, locked into wooden stocks or pillories, or simply executed. Today’s tourists will encounter

stocks and pillories set up as props for photo ops - a far cry from their original punitive purpose. A fortress, Belgium’s grim and sturdy Gravensteen, was designed in 1180 by its prince to intimidate the citizens of Ghent. Today, visitors to this torture museum can view instruments of “persuasion,” some of which were employed at the castle and even on the road. Because it’s small and portable, the finger screw was a favorite of traveling medieval interrogators. Another display shows how waterboarding was practiced in the Middle Ages. Jailers poured liquid down the throat of the prisoner. The modern variation could be described as “slow-motion drowning.”

What do these displays (and our fascination with them) say about humankind? Medieval or modern, human cruelty and torture haven’t gone away. Today, although 146 members of the United Nations have ratified an international convention against torture, it is practiced around the globe. When we visit medieval torture museums in Europe, we can marvel at how far civilization has progressed since the Dark Ages, but we also see how much farther we still have to go.
