Tibbott students use QR codes to find missing gingerbread men Several hundred kindergarten

through third grade students at Tibbott Elementary School searched far and wide for lost gingerbread men earlier this week. It was all part of a unique QR Code Scavenger Hunt hosted by Tibbott Library Media Center Director Erin Preder who read each class the Monarch Book

The jobs I was looking at would have me as an employee in government or with a company that worked with local government. I enjoy working in local government. … And I enjoy being a problem-solver.” - Sgt. Steve Byland from the Traffic Division

hearing mortgage foreclosure cases in the civil division. “There was some concern about me going in to the criminal division because of my work (as city manager) with police and selecting a new police chief,” Thanas said. “So this was the easiest move.” Thanas said he’s looking forward to getting back on the bench, but he’s not considering running for a fulltime position after this one is up. For one thing, he said, this appointment is outside of the sub-circuit in which he lives. There is one open in his Wheatland Township area, but Thanas isn’t interested in delving back into the political fray. “I did that once, and I didn’t really like it,” he said. “When I start my duties next year, I want to concentrate on being the best judge I can. If I ran for office, I would have to concentrate on being a good politician. I don’t want to do that.”

Award-winning “Gingerbread Man Loose” and then sent student teams armed with Ipads searching for seven gingerbread men hidden throughout the library. The scavenger hunt included at least three different prerecorded Q coded clues for each team that could only be accessed by using the Ipad. Each code sent them to a new QR Code elsewhere in the room. Preder labeled the exercise a success with engaged students not only having fun and learning how to work together, but also continuing to learn more about using tablet computers.

4 Kid’s Sake 4 Kid’s Sake, takes on cases both large and small, from sponsoring a bone marrow transplant to providing Christmas presents for area families By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Striving to catch those that may inevitably slip through the cracks, a newly formed charity, 4 Kid’s Sake, takes on cases both large and small, from sponsoring a bone marrow transplant to providing Christmas presents for area families. Driven by a pure desire to give back, Therese Grzenia started the organization at the age of 17 after hearing of a story of a single mother looking to provide an Easter basket for her daughter. Because the food pantry wasn’t accustomed to offering such items, the basket wasn’t a possibility. “I remember thinking, how unfair,” said Grzenia who has been volunteering alongside her parents since she was three.“Why is providing an Easter basket any less important, it has it’s own impact and importance. What I began to learn was that there are many needs that fall through the cracks because of certain criteria some organizations have to follow. I wanted to change that.” Ever since, Grzenia, now 19, and with an army of friends and supporters behind her, is setting unique fundraisers from garage sales

to contests,to help those that come to them with a need. For instance, the group collected more than $1,000 at the Statesville Haunted Mansion to fund bus transportation for a resident’s 8 year-old relative who was threatened with a gun while traveling through Chicago’s Safe Passage neighborhoods to get to school. Money drop boxes set throughout both Bolingbrook and Romeoville have gone a long way to help raise funds that will allow for 50 children to shop with Santa this past weekend at Meijer.

“It’s a tough economy and not many can afford Christmas,this way we can help,” said Grzenia. “We’d like to help as many families as we can. Every system has its flaws and we hope to be able to pick up the slack in anyway we can.” The group has been operating mainly by word of mouth, email and its Facebook page. But news of its success is beginning to spread, with office space just being donated and a new website in its future. Grzenia reports a growing momentum; proud to say approximately 1,000 children have been helped through 4 Kids Sake. Grzenia said the group has partnered with other organizations like H2O and the Make-A-Wish foundation, adding their services. The group even hosted a bone marrow contest to find a donor for one volunteer’s sister. While Grzenia wasn’t a match for her, she was placed on the list and became a donor for someone else. She says she was born meant to give back. Calling herself a miracle baby she relays the story that she was given very little chance of survival at birth, shocking all when she entered the world healthy and striving. “My mom has always told me how lucky she was to have me and that I am here for a reason,” said Grzenia. “I’ve always found myself searching for that reason—now I’ve found it.” For more information about the organization, call 630-399-1463 or email 4kidssakeorg@gmail.com.

Soldier organizes Jingle Bell run/walk Coinciding with the Dec. 14 Chicago Jingle Bell Run/Walk, Goodwin organized fellow soldiers to participate in the event in Afghanistan The Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis took place in Afghanistan thanks to Bolingbrook resident and U.S. Air Force, Staff Sgt. Jennafer Goodwin. Coinciding with the Dec. 14 Chicago Jingle Bell Run/Walk, Goodwin organized fellow soldiers to participate in the event in Afghanistan. Donning jingle bells, Santa hats, and event T-shirts these heroes once again spent their time thinking of others. Even one of Santa’s elves was on hand, proudly carrying the city of Chicago flag. More than $600 was donated for arthritis programs and services. Currently deployed with the 651st Air Expeditionary Group in Camp Bastion/Leatherneck,

Afghanistan, Goodwin wanted to help raise funds to cure arthritis in her hometown. As an Aerospace Medical Service Technician, Goodwin comes in contact with a variety of illnesses. “As a medic I see service members, veterans and retirees that suffer from many diseases and arthritis is often one of them,” said Goodwin. Voted as one of the nation’s “Most Incredible Themed Races” in 2012, the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis is an important way to make a difference in the fight to end arthritis, a serious disease that affects 52.5 million Americans, roughly one out of five adults. Contrary to popular belief, arthritis is not an “old person’s”

disease. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis that affect people of all ages. In fact, two-thirds of people with arthritis are under the age of 65, including 300,000 children. In Illinois, arthritis affects more than 2.5 million people. The number of soldiers medically retired from the United States Army with at least one musculoskeletal condition increased nearly tenfold from 2003 to 2009, according to Army statistics. OA is the leading cause of disability and medical discharge in active service members under the age of 40. Nearly onethird of all medical evacuations from Iraq and Afghanistan, from 2004-2007, resulted from musculoskeletal, connective tissue or spinal injuries. This is more than double the number of medical evacuations from combat injuries.

Horoscopes When you go along with the crowd you often get no further than the crowd. Being independent allows you to go places no one else has ever been before. This week, you should think for yourself.

Anyone can love you and it’s easy to show love toward others when the sun is shining. It’s when you must share an umbrella that love is tested. In the upcoming week, show your true colors.

The best diet for you is not prepackaged “happy” meals available 24 four hours a day at a fast food kiosk but happy thoughts. What you think about today sets the stage for tomorrow.

Look on the bright side. Now that the shortest day of the year (Saturday) has past, every day this week will be fuller! Keep your positive attitude in full gear to cope with last-minute holiday crises.

In the week ahead, devote more energy to achieving your hopes and dreams and less energy to your fears. Try to be less defensive and more understanding if the holiday hustle and bustle becomes briefly exasperating.

Use logic to evaluate financial matters and imagination to consider ways to make improvements. You might see where changes are needed in the coming week, but wait until after the holidays to implement them.

In the week to come, cuddle up with whatever and whoever makes you happy to be alive. There will be plenty of time for social activities, but remember to take care of necessary obligations before the holiday festivities begin.

Sometimes being tested doesn’t show your weakness, but proves your strengths. You may be challenged to find a last-minute gift in the week ahead, but will pass the test with flying colors.

If problems crop up, the situation will change soon, but if you’re experiencing smooth going, things will simply get better. Put your networking skills to work with helpful new acquaintances this week.

An edgy undercurrent may tempt you to take actions you might regret later. Be patient and abide by the rules during the week ahead, even if key contacts push your buttons or challenge your patience.

The itch to fight off what you consider to be senseless traditions could put you at odds with those in charge during the week to come. It might be wise to simply go along with the crowd and avoid confrontations.

Be glad you have some glad rags. There may be numerous occasions to dress up in the week ahead. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to show off your sparkling personality and entertain others.

Bolingbrook wants McDipper title By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

For the past three seasons, Bolingbrook has had success at The McDipper Tournament, held at Rich South High School,playing in the consolation championship game the past three seasons, winning last season and losing the two years prior. The Raiders’ first round opponent, Crete-Monee, has also enjoyed success at the McDipper, placing third last season and second the three years prior. The goal for Bolingbrook this season is to play in the final game on the other side of the bracket. “We want to win the tournament,” Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said. “We like this tournament because of the tradition, high level of competition and it has a shot clock.” This year’s tournament again features one of the state’s top teams in Marian Catholic and Kentucky recruit Tyler Ulis. The Raiders bring their own high-powered scoring attack which is paced by junior guard Prentiss Nixon and senior Gage Davis. They are joined by a host of big men, including the recently returned senior Kenny Williams. A win over Crete-Monee would place Bolingbrook against Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Spartans fall to Minooka in overtime By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

For the third-straight game, the young Romeoville boys basketball team could not finish a game in regulation. And for the second of the three games, the Spartans came out on the losing end, falling to Southwest Prairie Conference opponent Minooka 39-37. “We have to do a better job of executing late in the game,” said Romeoville coach Marc Howard. “We left some opportunities out there that cost us in regulation. We missed a couple lay-ups and threw the ball away a few times and missed some free throws. If we could get one of those back,

we win the game in regulation. I thought in overtime, we didn’t let that go. Some of the guys were still thinking about what they could have done and I could tell they weren’t all the way there and I was trying to get them back focused.” The Indians jumped out to a 15-7 lead after the first quarter and held a 21-14 halftime advantage. “In the first half we weren’t ourselves, our defense was sluggish and we weren’t getting in a groove,” Howard said. “We had a pep talk and fired them up and in the second half we were a lot more active and creating some more turnovers and putting more pressure on them.We attacked the

basket and forced them to foul us. We were 0-8 from three point in the first half and we told the kids let’s forget the three pointers and lets get to the basket. We did that and got more aggressive.” Minooka was whistled for nine fouls in the third quarter and picked up its 10th foul thirty seconds into the fourth quarter, putting Romeoville in the double bonus the entire stanza. It also forced the Indians out of what they wanted to do offensively. “All the fouls that were called on us didn’t allow us to play our game and they were able to chip away,” said Minooka coach Scott Tanaka.“I don’t know if we were playing too aggressive, but they were being called and we need to do a better job of moving our feet.” Romeoville was able to then dictate the pace of play, taking Minooka’s 6-foot, 7-inch big man Mark Geers out of the game after he tallied a game-high 13 points, all in the first three quarters. “They sped us up and we allowed them to speed us up,” Tanaka said. “We wanted to speed it up and tire him out and not let them set up,” Howard said. “Minooka is good when they can spread you out and get their back cuts going and do the screening that they like to do. We wanted to take that away and apply pressure and make them do it more so off the dribble than off the pass.” Even when Minooka was able to get open looks at the basket,

their shots were not falling. “We just can’t shoot. We haven’t been able to shoot all year, everything is 30 percent and the three-point line is 10 percent,” Tanaka said. “The shots are all there, we are just not finishing. It is a mental thing now. We were 37 percent from the free throw line, we had one kid go 0-5 and we have to do a better job of that. It is all mental.We are young without a lot of experience. All we did all week is shoot and it didn’t work.” Despite the poor effort shooting the basketball, Tanaka said he was happy to walk away with a conference win. “We have needed a win so bad, so to play as bad as we did and escape with a win is nice. It was a good high school basketball game and it was fun to play in,” he said.

“Marc is doing a great job here at Romeoville. His kids play really hard and we knew it was going to be a battle. Their kids battled hard all game and to come away with a win in their gym is good because Marc really is doing an awesome job here.” Just like Minooka, Howard said the Spartans have to learn to close the games and get over the hump mentally and start winning games. “They are kids and they are learning and we are working on teaching them how to win,” he said.“But, we are competing hard every night.” Romeoville was led by 10 points from Josh Krueger and eight from Diamonte’ Gaston, while Minooka got 10 from Jake Smith and seven from Joe Butler. mark@buglenewspapers.com

Lewis duo on All-MIVA team The Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA) announced on Friday (Dec. 20) that Lewis University’s BJ Boldog (Palatine, Ill./Palatine) and Geoff Powell (Claremont, Calif./Claremont) were named to the 2014 Preseason All-MIVA Team, as voted on by the league’s coaches. “It’s great to have two players recognized for their potential for the season,” Lewis head men’s volleyball coach Dan Friend said. “I know they both will use it as motivation to help make our team better.” Boldog, a setter, finished the 2013 season 10th in the country averaging 10.29 assists-per-set. Last year, the redshirt senior garnered American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and Volleyball Magazine All-America Second Team status, as well as CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-America Men’s At-Large Third Team accolades. Boldog, with 3,356 total assists, is 33 assists shy of breaking the Lewis

school record of 3,389 helpers set by Mike Iandolo (2008-10) in the rally-scoring era. Powell, an outside hitter, is a 2013 AVCA All-America Second Team and Volleyball Magazine All-America First Team selection. He led the Flyers in kills (385) and kills-per-set average (3.68), which put him 14th nationally. The Flyers open the 2014 season hosting two-time defending national champion and AVCA Preseason No. 1 UC Irvine on Wednesday, January 1st at Neil Carey Arena. First serve is set for 7 PM.

CROSS COUNTRY The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced that the Lewis University men’s cross country team has been elected as a recipient of the GLVC StudentAthlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Sportsmanship Award by their peers for the 2013-14 fall season as best displaying ‘Good Sportsmanship’. This is the first ever GLVC SAAC Sportsmanship Award for

the men’s cross country team and Lewis’ seventh honor of all time.The Flyers share this award with the Maryville’s men’s cross country team. “It’s nice to see our team recognized for how well they handle themselves as a team, with class and respect for others,” Lewis head men’s cross country coach Dana Schwarting said. The SAAC Sportsmanship Award is determined by a vote of the GLVC member institutions’ campus SAACs. The committees select their top three choices in each sport based on their view of sportsmanship. Each team that received a first-place vote received three points, second place received two points, and third place received one point. The GLVC sponsors the award in each of the league’s 20 championship sports, including six in the fall season. A team trophy will be presented to each of the See LEWIS, page 14

enrollment is down, they are still able to compete at a high level on the court. Looking at the teams, everyone is pretty decent and everyone has a different style. We will play some teams that want to get up and down, some teams that want to slow it up. Lemont plays can play slow or fast. No matter who we play, we will see some good basketball out there.” In game two, Romeoville will meet either host Joliet Catholic Academy or Lincoln-Way West. “We have a quick turnaround when we play in these tournaments,” Howard said. “We are hosting out here for four nights. You don’t have time to think about what happened on the court, It is let it go, come back on the court and compete. That is how it was at the WJOL (Thanksgiving tournament). We have to go out there and be ready.” Howard is happy that

Romeoville is hosting, both for the lack of travel as well as the home court advantage. “These kids love their school and they love playing in front of their peers and hopefully we can give the fans some exciting basketball to watch,” Howard said.“We also don’t have to worry about the bis rides, we just have to come here and compete.” Win or lose, Howard said the Spartans will make teams battle for 32 minutes every night. “We are going to compete,” he said. “There will not be an easy game when teams play us. We are going to make them work.”

and new head coach Chris Smith against his former team.

A lot of people hope to be home for the holidays, and this season, the Bolingbrook girls basketball team is doing just that.

After spending the last few seasons at the Nike Shootout in Arizona, the Raiders are competing this season at the Hillcrest Holiday Tournament, where Bolingbrook is the No. 2 seed as voted by the coaches. Joliet Catholic Academy is the No. 1 seed in the tournament, while Hillcrest is third and Marist is fourth. The Raiders open the tournament at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 26 against Queen of Peace. They then return to the court later that day at 4:30 p.m. against either Rich Central or SouthWest Suburban Conference opponent Lockport. Bolingbrook is on the opposite side of the bracket of Joliet Catholic Academy, the other team in the tournament that is ranked among the top teams in the state. If the teams do meet in the finals, it would place the Raiders

shots. Sophomore guard Alyssa Dengler (Chicago, Ill./Trinity) scored a career-high 10 points, including two three-pointers, and collected two assists and two rebounds in the win. “Lincoln Memorial did a nice job clogging up the lane to make it difficult for us to consistently get the ball to Jess and Mariyah,” Lewis head women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen said. “We did a nice job competing on the glass tonight, which was the difference in the game.” In the up-tempo first half, both teams struggled to gain the upper hand.Lewis redshirt junior guard Angel Brooks (Chicago, Ill./De La Salle) provided the spark off the bench, scoring five straight points, including a three-pointer, to give Lewis a four-point lead at 25-21 at the 5:14 mark. The Flyers then went on a

14-9 run to close out the half as Itschner and Nellen both chipped in five points during the run. Lewis took a 39-30 lead into the locker room. Lincoln Memorial picked up the intensity in the second half, as they chipped away at Lewis’ lead. The Railsplitters were able to get within two points at 4644, on an Aisjah Roan lay-up at the 13:58 mark. Lewis responded and quickly pushed the lead back up to nine points at 53-44, when Nellen led the run when she drained one of her three threepointers of the night at the 12:20 mark. As fouls became an issue for both squads late in the game, Lewis’ lead ballooned to 16-points as Brawner-Henley completed a three-point play at the foul line to go up 72-56. In the second half, the Flyers went

to the line 21 times, connecting on 17 attempts (.810), after shooting 6-of-13 (.462) from the charity stripe in the opening half. The Railsplitters responded with a 7-0 run to get within nine points at 72-63 at 2:16, led by four points from Roan. Lewis shut the door on Lincoln Memorial to wrap up the 77-65 victory. Lincoln Memorial’s offense was spearheaded by Roan’s 25 points, six rebounds and three steals while MaRanda Boddie chipped in 11 points and six rebounds. The Flyers are off for two weeks before opening the Great Lakes Valley Conference slate on Friday, January 3rd, when they host Truman State at Neil Carey Arena. Tip-off is set for 5:30 PM.

Helping others in office a way to help yourself

Q. The advice in your column often seems geared to avoid making other people uncomfortable. My job is hard enough without having to walk on eggshells about other people’s feelings. Since the tools you teach seem to be tricky to learn and take time, how does it benefit me to help other people feel good about their jobs? A. The better you can get other people to feel and act around you, the better your own job will be. You are correct that to reduce the amount of suffering and bad decisions in people around us, we have to be responsible to change our habits. The hardest habit to break is the luxury of blaming everyone around us for our problems at work. If you are part of a situation that is causing you suffering, you are at least in some small way opening a door for someone to treat you badly. It’s not necessarily your fault if people treat you poorly.

However, there are a number of clever strategies to make it nearly impossible for even abusive people to keep hurting you. As satisfying as it is to bite back on someone upsetting us, the longterm consequence is that other people get even. If you don’t enjoy the long-term experience of people seeking revenge on you, then you have to give away the short-lived bliss of telling people off. For instance, next time a customer, coworker, or boss is angry at you, instead of defending yourself or counterattacking, try taking a deep breath and neutrally repeating back in your own words what they just said.You’ll discover that other people have a very hard time staying mad at anyone who so clearly understands their point of view. Once you’ve established that you truly get the other’s point of view, they will be highly likely to be willing to listen to your ideas.

Quick TIP to help in the office: Next time a customer, coworker, or boss is angry at you, instead of defending yourself or counterattacking, try taking a deep breath and neutrally repeating back in your own words what they just said.

Brilliant defenses and counterattacks will never give you a chance to influence others as much as a simple demonstration of listening skills. Most of my clients would tell you that in the beginning they felt like aliens when they focused on the long-term result they wanted rather than venting. They would also tell you it took

longer than they wanted and it was harder than they thought to change their bad interpersonal habits. However, when they come in my office delighted that they are no longer at the center of office wars and almost always have the result they want, they tell me it was more than worth the price.

The last word(s) Q. I was just hired into a job where the last four managers only lasted six months. Should I be worried? A. Yes. Your first priority should be to find out how each was set

up to fail before they started, and then develop a strategy that avoids repeating history. Those who can learn from the mistakes of their predecessors usually avoid the unemployment line.

WE’RE TALKING

Plan ahead for the ultimate holiday roast beef dinner Stop by your local butcher or supermarket and order the roast as soon as possible Thanksgiving is barely over when you suddenly realize the time has come to start thinking seriously about what you’ll cook for Christmas dinner. And I always wonder: Why do so many people cook another turkey on December 24 or 25? Maybe it’s because memories of the previous holiday’s golden-brown turkey are still so deliciously fresh. Or perhaps that’s the way family tradition has always said the Christmas menu should be. Or, just maybe, our minds are so fatigued by entertaining at this time of year that we find it easier to switch to autopilot and cook the same thing all over again. So I’d like to propose a different main course for your holiday table this Christmas. Try my recipe for Roast Prime Rib of Beef with Garlic-Herb Crust. I find roast beef to be one of the most impressive main courses you could present for a special meal, especially when you start with a bone-in roast. Boldly shaped and deeply browned, with a tempting crust and juicy, rose-colored interior,

the roast seems to me to announce like nothing else that a real feast is about to begin. If your mouth is watering at that description, I suggest you act now. Stop by your local butcher or supermarket and order the roast as soon as possible, just to make sure there will be one on hand and reserved

i find roast beef to be one of the most imPressive main courses you couLd Present for a sPeciaL meaL, esPeciaLLy when you start with a bone-in roast. for you when you shop for the meal. You can keep it in the refrigerator for a good three days before you cook it. Then, simply follow my recipe. The keys to success are simple. To begin, while the oven

preheats, rub the exterior of the roast thoroughly with the seasoning mixture. During cooking, the seasonings will not only subtly flavor the inside of the meat but will also mingle with the juices to form the muchdesired crust, which will add excitement to every serving. The roasting itself happens in two stages. For the first 25 minutes, I like to cook the meat at a high temperature to help the crust form, sealing in the juices. Then, I reduce the temperature and complete the cooking at a more gentle heat that enhances the meat’s tenderness. Finally, once the roast is done to your liking (which you can test easily with an instant-read thermometer), be sure to let it rest, covered, at warm room temperature for 30 minutes before carving. This crucial yet easy step allows the bubbling-hot juices to settle back into the meat, so more of them stay in every bite. Follow these few pointers and you’ll have a roast everyone will love. In fact, you may love it so much that you might even be tempted to make it again for New Year’s Eve! (c) 2013 WOLFGANG PUCK WORLDWIDE, INC. DISTRIBUTED BY TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

roast prIme rIB of Beef wIth garlIc-herB crust Serves 6 to 8

1 bone-in prime rib of beef, 4 to 5 pounds 8 garlic cloves, minced 4 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary 2 teaspoons dried thyme 4 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons kosher salt remove the roast from the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature while you preheat the oven to 450 degrees f. Place the rack in the center of the oven - or, if the roast won’t fit into your oven with the rack in the center, place the rack in the lower position. while the oven is heating, put the roast rib side down on a rack inside a large, heavy roasting pan. in a small bowl, stir together the garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt. spread the garlic-herb mixture evenly all over the surface of the meat, pressing down firmly with your hands to help the mixture adhere. Place the roasting pan on the oven rack. cook the roast for 25 minutes. then, reduce the temperature setting to 250 degrees f. and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer, inserted into the center of the roast without touching bone, reads 120 degrees f. for rare or 125 degrees f. for medium rare, 1-1/2 to 2 hours longer. remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a platter. cover the roast with aluminum foil and leave it to rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes. uncover the roast and transfer it to a carving board. Pour the juices that have accumulated on the platter into a sauceboat for serving. with a sharp carving knife, and steadying the roast with a carving fork, cut the meat across the grain into thick or thin slices, as you and your guests prefer; if guests like, include rib bones as part of their portions, cutting carefully between the bones. Pass the juices at table for guests to help themselves.
