2019 Bolingbrook and Romeoville saw many changes and improvements, such as a new the announced retirement of James Mitchem the closing of a legendary pizza place and the announcement of Ribfest coming to town. Here is a breakdown of some of the events shaped our community this past year.

Papa’s Pizza Place closes Bolingbrook location

It is said that all good things must come to an end. This was the case Bolingbrook’s Papa’s Pizza Place, which proudly served customers from all different demographics for the past 44 years. The famous pizza shop at 253 North Schmidt Road officially had its last day of service on New Years Eve. Because of the popularity of Papa’s, which opened in 1974, owner Matt Marciniak has received a lot of community feedback as he announced the closing. While the Bolingbrook location has closed its doors, Papa’s is not gone completely. The Woodridge location, located at 8258 Janes Avenue, will remain open and is just eight minutes door-to-door from the previous location.

Joliet Hospice to expand facility

The Joliet Area Community Hospice facility was the first of its kind in the state of Illinois and now that facility will get a much-needed facelift. The renovations are required to serve even more of those in need in Will County and beyond. Currently, the hospice center has 10 beds, but after the $7 million expansion, the facility will have 20 beds and room for four more in the future. The much-needed addition began with a simple conversation. After state representative Natalie Manley got it through the House, the legislation, was sponsored by state senator Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant (D-Shorewood), pushed through the Senate and was signed into law by then-Governor Bruce Rauner in August. For Manley, it was her job — but with intimate knowledge of how JACH works. “My mom came to Joliet Area Community Hospice on July 4, 2017 and she left this world and went to Heaven on July 10 and the more important thing I can tell you is that she got wonderful, compassionate care,” Manley said. “My mom was a single mom for almost as far back as I can remember and she was always our rock and so when you know things are changing, you want her to have the best care possible and the best thing they did while she was here, the staff not only took care of mom, they took care of her children. She would have loved that. My mom was a nurse and she would have loved that. She was able to live the last days of her life with dignity.

The Great Read 2019 spotlights the ‘Wizard of Oz’

Movies and Programs and Books – oh my! Beginning Feb. 1, 2019, students and community members within the seven communities making up Plainfield School District 202 were asked to follow the yellow brick road to learning and join the Great Read as it features L. Frank Baum’s Classic “The Wizard of Oz.” First published in Chicago in 1900, the “Wizard of Oz” is a work that has mesmerized children and adults alike for years. The program – now in its 15th year – began in Plainfield and has grown immensely over the years. The corroboration between District 202 and the surrounding libraries is what makes this program stand apart from others like it. The program kicked off Jan. 31 with Wizard of Oz trivia night at the Joliet Public Library Ottawa Street Branch. The culmination was Thursday, Feb. 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the Plainfield Public Library, where patrons watched the classic film “The Wizard of Oz” starring Judy Garland.

Bolingbrook HS selected to attend Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy

Bolingbrook HS student James Morrissette is one of only 300 students from around the world selected to attend the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy. The unique aspect of this honor is where the Academy is held. James attended the Academy at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville AL, better known as “Space Camp”. The select program is designed for children of Honeywell employees to heighten their interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fields and prepare them for the university experience. James explained what the experience was like, including the multi-axis trainer, which is the apparatus that spins a person on three axes simultaneously.

Romeoville Fire Dept. Engine 23 and Ambulance 23 awarded ‘Run of the

Quarter’ by Edward Hospital

Edward Hospital’s EMS (Emergency Medical Services) “Run of the Quarter” for Oct.-Dec. 2018 has been awarded to Romeoville Fire Dept. Engine 23 and Ambulance 23. Personnel were recognized for their care on Dec. 22 of a 2-year-old girl who was suffering a seizure. The run was also chosen because the parents requested their daughter be taken to Edward Hospital, which was five minutes farther than the nearest hospital. The crew was able to calmly and confidently relay valuable information in order to receive approval for a bypass of the closest facility and bring the patient to the Edward Hospital Emergency Dept. (ED). The patient was treated and released from the ED and scheduled to follow up with the family pediatrician. In the “Run of the Quarter” program, the Edward EMS team reviews ambulance runs by pre-hospital providers and selects one to be recognized every three months based on the following criteria: Excellent communication from the field that resulted in the timely delivery of pertinent clinical information to the Edward ED staff Clear and thorough documentation Superior clinical assessment skills that resulted in accurate recognition of a clinical situation and behavior exceeding the call of duty in the field.

Decorative lighting project in Romeoville hits Murphy Drive

Seventeen new LED decorative light poles will be installed and 24 existing aluminum non-decorative poles will be replaced. “It’s part of a multi-year process that’s a program that we’re slowly upgrading the older lighting especially on Route 53 in the older parts of town,” said Romeoville mayor John Noak. “The redevelopment of the older part of the town and then slowly bringing it through the neighborhoods is our main focus.” Maintenance, update and innovative resolution are all reasons for the new lights, which Noak said, has been much needed. To date, Noak said that the community feedback has been positive, with community member’s eager to see a

continued from page 2 newer and better look for Romeoville. Some of the current lights including wooden lights have caused problems with wires, making more of a mess and being more of a financial burden. To go along with the new lights, there has also been a focus for updating and making larger streets, street curbs and safer neighborhoods. “The reinvesting part of all these projects with the culmination of them coming together for a better Romeoville, I truly think the people really appreciate it,” Noak said. “To continue to stay on top of maintenance, and the reason why we’re doing maintenance is something that the community can be very proud of going forward.” As of now, Noak said this will always be an ongoing process, because there is still a lot of work that has to be done. “If the community is adequately reinvesting in maintenance, you’re always going to be working and doing something,” Noak said. “This is part of a new standard we implemented a few years ago, and it will take a number of years before it’s fully completed.

Ivlow entered Plainfield Hall of Fame

John Ivlow is a man of many talents. Bolingbrook football coach John Ivlow was honored in the District 202 Alumni Hall of Fame for Plainfield High School — Now Plainfield Central. Specifically, Ivlow was awarded for government, military, sports and recreation. Whether it was joining the Bolingbrook Police Department as a patrolman or coaching at Bolingbrook High School, Ivlow said a lot of his success stems from his parents and Bolingbrook Mayor Roger C. Claar. For Claar, Ivlow said it was him who got him the job as both the policeman and a foot in the door at Bolingbrook High School to become the head football coach. Ivlow had success in sports before Bolingbrook. After high school, he attended Northwestern University and Colorado State where he played football at both schools. In 1992, while attending CSU, Ivlow was rated the 39th best rusher in the Western Athletic Conference and No. 5 for rushing yards per attempt. He entered the NFL in 1993 and played for the Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers when they won Super Bowl XXIX in 1995. After his professional football career, the Bolingbrook Police Department hired Ivlow, which is where he first became a patrolmen. In 2000, he was reassigned to Bolingbrook High School as a school resource officer. After then head coach Phil Action retired in 2002, Ivlow took over as head coach of the Raiders and led them to six conference championships and a Class 8A state title in 2011 and an overall record of 133-52. As a police officer for more than 22 years, Ivlow has received 16 Chief’s Commendations and many thank you letters from the public. In addition, he was the Bolingbrook Exchange Club 2009 Officer of the Year and a 2015 candidate for the Bolingbrook Police Department Officer of the year. In 2017, he was also named a “Pillar of Valley View” by the Valley View School District School Board for his dedication to the district.

Naperville Ribfest moving in 2020

The Village of Romeoville was notified by the Exchange Club of Naperville that it is their top choice for the new location of the famous Naperville Ribfest starting in 2020. The club’s board of directors voted to approve their sixmember relocation team’s recommendation that the event, a Naperville ritual for more than 30 years, be moved from Naperville’s Knoch Park to the village located southeast of Naperville. Romeoville will be undergoing discussions with the Exchange Club on the agreement and the details for the event at a later time. For now, Romeoville officials plan to meet with various

Thursday, December 26, 2019 | buglenewspapers.com stakeholders regarding the event. The Village is hopeful in reaching an agreement with the Exchange Club and will work together to support the mission to fund local and regional non-profit agencies. The annual Ribfest fundraiser hosts more than 200,000 people in a span of four days, is run by the Exchange Club of Naperville, with key resources contracted out such as the layout which is coordinated with a professional event management company. Ribfest will not be a replacement for the Romeofest, which the village still plans on having the local festival later in the season.

VVSD Superintendent Dr. James Mitchem retiring in 2020 On June 30, 2020, VVSD Superintendent of Schools Dr. James A. Mitchem, Jr. will retire after serving VVSD for nine years as superintendent and more than two decades of service to the VVSD community. Mitchem has been a part of Valley View School District 365U since 1980 serving as a high school physical education teacher, coach, dean, assistant principal and principal before becoming superintendent on July 1, 2011. His VVSD career began as a PE and health teacher at both Romeoville and Bolingbrook high schools. Five years later, he became Dean of Students at RHS, a position he held for nine years before becoming RHS Administrative Dean of Students for one year. When DePaul University, Mitchem’s alma mater, called on him to serve as their Director of Athletic Academic Advising, he left RHS for three years before returning to Valley View in 1999 as Assistant Principal for Student Affairs at BHS. A year later, he became Principal of what was then B.J. Ward Middle School in Bolingbrook. In 2002, he was named Principal of Romeoville High School and in 2006, he took over the principal’s role at Bolingbrook High School, a position he held until becoming superintendent. Throughout his tenure as Superintendent, Mitchem has had the goal to have restorative justice long before his term started along with implementing a standard based grading system, expanding the early childhood center, community outreach program partnerships with the community and has taken pride in seeing state championships for the VVSD high schools, Though Mitchem said he is ready to retire, he said that finding a purpose will be one of his goals he seeks out to obtain after his term is finalized. “I struggle with what my purpose will be after I retire because being the Superintendent has provided a major purpose for my life,” Mitchem said. “I have taken a lot of pride over the years in affecting the lives of children in a positive way.” Mitchem also said that out of everything he and his staff have built over the years, he is most proud of the belief system they have installed. The Valley View Community Unit School District 365U Board of Education has begun the process of hiring Mitchem’s replacement by accepting a candidate search timeline presented to the Board by the firm of BWP and Associates. The timeline suggested to the VVSD Board has the job being posted next month, with focus groups, community surveys and board workshops before interviews begin in early November, with a hire happening in late November and formal approval before Christmas.

Illinois to legalize sports gambling, add casinos

Six new casinos, along with legalized sports betting, are coming to Illinois after Senate lawmakers approved a massive gambling expansion bill. Senate Bill 690, sponsored by Indian Creek Democratic Sen. Terry Link, passed that chamber on a 46-10 vote after being approved by House lawmakers the day before. Gov. J.B. Pritzker has already announced his intention to sign it into law. Link estimated that gambling expansion along with other revenue-raising measures in the bill could net Illinois more than $12 billion in the next six years. That construction would go toward the six new casinos authorized by the bill in Waukegan, Rockford, Danville, South Suburbs, Williamson County and downtown Chicago. Casinos, race tracks and sports facilities that seat more than 17,000 people – such as Wrigley Field or United Center – would also be eligible to buy sports betting licenses under the bill, making Illinois one of about a dozen states to legalize the practice after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year allowed it. Revenues raised from the new casinos, the selling of sports betting licenses, and a higher tax on video gambling machines would go toward funding the vertical components of a long-term capital infrastructure plan, such as state building renovations. Sports betting licenses would range from $3.2 million to $20 million and be offered to both brick-and-mortar facilities and to online operators, with taxes of 15 percent. Under the bill, race tracks in the state would be able to install slot machines and table games, turning them into racinos. A pilot program will also assess sports betting through the Illinois Lottery, a plan that was considered but dropped by lawmakers earlier in the session.

Illinois legalizes marijuana

The Illinois House passed a bill legalizing adult recreational marijuana in the state. The 66-to-47 vote sends House Bill 1438 to Gov. J.B. Pritzker who campaigned in 2018 on a platform that included legalizing marijuana. The Senate approved the bill on Wednesday, 3817. The vote, however, came after a marathon debate that lasted nearly four hours, leaving lawmakers with less than 10 hours to complete the rest of their business for the session. That forced leaders to announce the House would continue meeting Saturday and Sunday. With passage of the marijuana bill, Illinois is poised to become the 10th state in the nation to legalize its use by adults for recreational purposes. But it would be the first to do so by a comprehensive statute enacted by the legislature rather than through a ballot initiative. Vermont legalized marijuana through legislation in 2018, but that law covered only personal use and cultivation. It did not include retail sales. The Illinois bill would provide for licensing and regulation of marijuana cultivators, processors, transporters and sellers. It also allows Illinois residents over age 21 to possess up to 30 grams, or roughly one ounce, of marijuana for personal use, and it allows people certified to use marijuana for medical purposes to grow up to five plants in their own homes. Sales and possession would become legal under state law on Jan. 1, 2020, although marijuana is still illegal under federal law. The bill also sets out a schedule of licensing fees and excise taxes that Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, said is expected to generate $58 million in the upcoming fiscal year, and as much as $500 million a year when the industry is fully mature. “This is the beginning of the end of the war on drugs,” Cassidy said on the House floor just before the final vote. Indeed, many supporters of legalization said their primary goal was to correct the inequities and social harms they say the war on drugs has had on black and Latino communities, who they argued have been disproportionately targeted for enforcement and incarceration for drug violations. The bill would provide a mechanism under which hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents could have criminal records for minor marijuana-related offenses expunged. It also would direct a significant share of the revenues generated into community reinvestment programs for communities that have been disproportionately impacted by drug enforcement policies.

part 1: a look back at the local sports stories that shaped the area in 2019 from January to June WIN No. 300 Joliet Central never looked back after cruising to a 19-3 first quarter lead en route to a 52-26 win Friday night on the east side of Joliet. The win was the 300th in the career of coach Lawrence Thompson, Jr. His wins came at two schools — Lockport and Joliet Central Central started hot right out of the gate, jumping to an early 11-0 run, with Crete-Monee getting its first bucket at the 2:40 mark in the ball game. With two key players out of the game for the Steelmen (9-5, 1-1), Thompson knew that the next man up mentality was key for a positive outcome. Senior guard Demarta Hill-Holmes and junior guard Dakota Joachim were the two men out for the Steelmen on Friday night, but senior forward Keaton Gregory did not miss a beat, leading the Steelmen with a 26-point performance on 8-17 shooting, with seven 3-pointers. With Crete-Monee inching themselves back into the game after a 9-9 second-quarter battle, the Warriors still had a 28-12 deficit heading into halftime. Gregory and his offensive crew were just a little bit too much for the Warriors, jumping to a 43-17 advantage at the end of the third quarter, led by the high percentage 3-point shooting. With the win, Central remains undefeated on its home floor. Crete-Monee (2-12, 0-2) shot a combined 10-52 from the floor Friday night, while committing 16 turnovers. While the Steelmen were potent

on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, one area of concern for coach Thompson was free throw shooting. Central shot a combined 4-14 from the line.

ANGELS TAKE FIRST Joliet Catholic Academy entered 2019 with 31 state finals, but that wasn’t enough for the venerable JCA athletic program justice. The Angel dance team added to that number when it brought home the IHSA Class 1A Competitive Dance state finals title. It was the 32nd title for the school, but first for the dance program. The big stage is not something that was particularly new for the JCA Dance team, as Coach Shelley Poropats’ squad came in fourth place at last year’s festivities, with an axe to grind in the 2018-19 season. Poropat said with every year having the mindset to get better individually and collectively as a team, it wasn’t a straightforward path to the finals for her girls this year. The Angels featured seven returning dancers from last year’s squad, and the 10-member team featured just two seniors, co-captains Abi Voss and Reese Hafner. For Voss, she said she has always been well aware of the accolades and the high standards her school sets, so brining home a championship was even more incumbent upon her. In order to reach its goals, JCA had to rebound after a subpar performance being behind Morris, who

Not only did JCA win the the state title, it recorded the best score in Class 1A tournament history, topping Highland’s 95.05 mark from a year ago.

COACH OF THE YEAR On the heels of the Oakton Community College baseball team being ranked No. 1 in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) preseason poll, head coach Bill Fratto was named 2019 Pitch and Hit Club of Chicago College Coach of the Year. Fratto was honored at a ceremony held Sunday, Jan. 27, at the Tinley Park Convention Center. Fratto was among an esteemed group of baseball honorees, including former Chicago White Sox announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, Bren Spillane, Pat Murphy, Dan Plesac, Daniel Palka and Natalie Niekro, among others. The recognition is among several postseason coaching accolades Fratto received after guiding the Owls to a historic 2018 season that culminated with the team’s first national championship and a school-record 44 wins in his 13th season. Previous awards include the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Diamond Sports NJCAA Division III National Coach of the Year, Division III World Series Coach of the Year and Region IV Division III Coach of the Year. In the Owls’ national championship season, Fratto’s squad finished second in the nation in runs scored (503), walks (289) and sacrifice flies (31) and third in hits (632), extra base hits (187), at bats (1,887) and total bases (932). Also, Oakton tallied 425 RBI and 45 home runs while amassing a .335 team batting average. The Owls’ 44-17 record in 2018 pushed Fratto’s career mark to 472256, a .648 winning percentage. Fratto, who attended Oakton, is a three-time Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year, earning that distinction in 2006, 2012 and 2015. During his coaching career at Oakton, his teams won the Skyway Conference championship four times, in 2006, 2012, 2015 and 2016. The Owls also made NJCAA Region IV Championship appearances in 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2015 in addition to winning regional, district and NJCAA Division III World Series championships in 2018. With Fratto’s guidance, dozens of players have been named all-conference and all-region selection and advanced to compete at NCAA Division I, II and III institutions. In addition, several players have gone on to play

ACADEMY OF COACHES On January 26, as part of Alumni Day, Lewis University introduced the inaugural class of the Lewis Academy of Coaches. The 10-member class was announced December 10 by Director of Athletics Dr. John Planek. The class consisted of John Boles, Thomas Dedin, Tony Delgado, Jack Fitzgerald, Robert “Red” Miller, John Morrey, John Ostrowski, Matthew Senffner, Chuck Schwarz and Pat Sullivan

SOUTH TAKES 2ND In 2019, the Plainfield South cheerleading team made history. The Cougars came through, not only for themselves but for their school. South took home second place in the Co-Ed Division of the IHSA Competitive Cheerleading Finals that were held on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 1 and 2 at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington. It was not only the first trophy for the Cougars in the sport, but it was also only the second one ever for the school, which opened its doors for the 2002-03 school year. The only other state trophy in school history was a state championship in boys bowling in the 2009-10 school year. When the coed standings, which is the last of the four cheerleading divisions to perform, were read on Feb. 2, Belvidere North (96.63), which opened as a school in the fall of 2007, won its third straight co-ed division championship by more than three points. It was the fourth consecutive trophy for the Blue Thunder, who placed second in the same division in 2016. Plainfield South (93.43) was second, Grant (93.24) took third and South Elgin (91.77) rounded out the top four teams. The members of the Cougars team were seniors Orlando DeYoung, Madilyn Hall, Kaitlin McCann, and Alyssa Plata. Juniors Fabian Arteaga, Cadey Chartrand, Lillian Goorsky, Jordan Lipowski, Aubry Mikel, Bree Slaby, Ashley Suddreth, and Bria Trenor. Sophomores Jairus Bowman, Tenley Brown, Ellie Grundon, Jazmin Jimenez, David Ochoa, Isabella Rios, Maggie Schoener, and Devin Stapleton. Freshman Emilee Trunnell rounded out the squad. Assistant coaches were Emily Durham, Alyssa Padilla, and Keri Storako.

WRESTLERS EARN MEDALS A season ago when then freshman DJ Hamiti won his first state championship, he did so for Joliet Catholic

Academy, who had not had a state wrestling champion since Pat Mudron in 1967. • Matt Ramos and Baylor Fernandes led a quartet of Lockport medalists at the IHSA Class 3A wrestling meet. At 120 pounds, Ramos defeated Noah Surtin of Edwardsville 8-4 for his first state championship, while Fernandes pinned Hunter Yohn of Quincy in a Class 3A 160-pound state final record 1 minute, 10 seconds. Yohn got the first points of the match on takedown right off the whistle, but that did not sit well with Fernandes. After Ramos had won earlier in the evening, Fernandes became the 11th state champion in Porter history, a goal he had always had. To get to the final, Fernandes (35-4) pinned Brock Pfeifer of Lincoln-Way West in 1:48, defeated Barington’s Luke Rasmussen 11-4 and earned a 12-4 major decision over Brad Gross of Marmion Academy. For Ramos, it was his third state medal becoming just the eighth threetime medalist in Lockport history after Anthony Molton reached that mark in the third-place match. The fourth medal for Lockport went to Kaleb Thompson, who as a junior is wrestling for his high school team for the first time after transferring from Montini. At 106 pounds, he won the thirdplace match by disqualification over Jameir Castleberry of Proviso East, however, Thompson was dominating the match up to the point of disqualification. The 2019 tournament is the 12th time in school history that Lockport has placed multiple wrestlers on the medal stand and fifth time the Porters have had at least four medalists. • The last wrestler to medal for Bolingbrook High School was thensophomore Dylan Burnoski, who placed sixth in 2016 at 106 pounds. A year later, Burnoski advanced to the state meet again, but lost in the opening round and did not place. Prior to his junior season, Burnoski transferred from Bolingbrook to Montini Catholic in Lombard and placed fourth as a junior at 126. In Februaury, he made his fourth and final trip to the state to the State Farm Center on the campus of the University of Illinois in Champaign and again came home with a fourthplace medal at 132. • Plainfield South advances three to state and all earn medals — most in school history Jimmy Pierandozzi, Jake Kendall and Andrew Bejarano all placed at state, marking the first time in school history the Cougars have placed three wrestlers on the podium inside the State Farm Center on the campus of the University of Illinois.

It is only the fourth time in District 202 history that three or more wrestlers from the same school placed in the same meet. Plainfield Central has the most with four in 2012. Pierandozzi, a junior transfer from Lockport, earned his first state medal after advancing to state twice as a Porter. This season he finished 35-9 on the season and placed sixth at 145 pounds after a 7-2 loss to Giovanni Cassioppi of Rockton Hononegah in the fifthplace match. Pierandozzi opened the tournament with a 11-6 win over Joaquin Miranda of Huntley and a 4-1 loss to Fidel Mayora of Montini.

GYMANSTIC FINISHES Downers Grove South senior Abby Carlson and Downers Grove North senior Brooke Stocki ended their gymnastics careers a day apart but with similar satisfaction. Carlson scored 9.45 to finish third on uneven bars at the individual event finals of the state meet at Palatine, becoming the second girl in program history to finish her career with medals on two different apparatus. She was second on floor last year. Stocki finished 15th on uneven bars during Friday’s preliminaries, sticking her final routine for a 9.275. The top 10 finishers in prelims advanced to finals, where the top 5 win medals. Carlson, who missed the state meet two seasons ago after surgery for a torn ACL, capped her career with two tremendous bars routines. She tallied 9.525 in Friday’s prelims, which was the third-highest score. As she did Friday, Carlson swung like a whippet on the high bar before dismounting with a double pike,

which she landed flawlessly. Carlson finished seventh in Friday’s all-around competition with a 37.075 total, which included 9.35 on vault, 9.325 on beam and 8.875 on floor, where a fall marked her only blemish of her final meet. That was Stocki’s approach as well. After returning to help the Trojans win a regional championship and advance to sectionals as a team for the third straight year, Stocki contracted stomach flu just two days before the sectional meet, but managed to compete and qualify for state on bars. In other results, Downers North sophomore Gabriella Stellato made her state meet debut and finished last of 38 competitors on balance beam with a 6.725. Downers Grove South freshman Katrina Carlson, Abby’s sister, finished 14th on floor exercise with a 9.125, while senior teammate Andrea Davenport scored 9.0 to place 25th. Katrina Carlson is the third member of her family to qualify at state and said competing with her sister this season helped her ease into high school gymnastics. • Maine South senior Caleigh Pistorius became the first state champion in program history in 2018 when she won the balance beam title while finishing second in the all-around to Glenbard West’s Maddie Diab. Pistorius didn’t win a state title in 2019 at Palatine, but she has never been happier. That’s because Pistorius got to celebrate another historic accomplishment with her teammates. With Pistorius and junior Collette Roth leading the way, the Hawks finished third in

sports ‘ yir’ from page 6 the team standings to win their first state trophy. Glenbard West won its second straight title with 149.025 points, while New Trier was second at 147.525 and Maine South third at 147.25. Glenbrook South was .10 back in fourth. When Maine South coach Tessa Robinson took over the program 16 years ago, the Hawks were an afterthought. The possibility of one day winning a trophy didn’t even cross her miind. Indeed, Pistorius dislocated both elbows in a fall off uneven bars in a club meet last May. Except for changing her release move on that event, she somehow managed to regain all of her skills and contended for the allaround title. Pistorius scored 38.075 to again finish second to Diab in the all-around. She had the highest preliminary round score on floor (9.6) and tied Diab for the best score on vault (9.8) to advance to the event finals on both. The Hawks had to battle several injuries this season and didn’t get their full lineup in place until late in the season. Then they won regional and sectional titles. Senior Cristina DeFillippis, a fouryear starter who performed on vault and floor, reflected on that as she held the trophy. Senior Olivia Johnson contributed on bars and beam, while freshman Annie Middendorf performed on vault, bars and beam and sophomore Susie Currey chipped in on beam and floor. But the future team leaders will be Roth and junior Brittany Argaez, who are becoming stars in their own right. Argaez, who broke her finger early in the season, did three events, tying for 18th on vault (9.375) and sharing 21st on floor (9.075). Roth was 11th in the all-around (36.925), which included 9.225 on vault, 9.5 on bars, 9.3 on beam and 8.9 on floor. Like Pistorius, she made two event finals, finishing 7th on bars (9.35) and eighth on beam (8.85 despite a fall). Most of the Hawks have been doing gymnastics as long as they can remember. For Pistorius and DeFlillippis, the ends of their careers brought out some sweet emotions. Neither could Pistorius, who earned tow more medals Saturday when she tied for fourth on vault (9.55) and tied for fifth on floor (9.475). “It was the best ending I could think of,” Pistorius said. “I didn’t really come into this weekend thinking that I was going to win anything. But Maine South’s run might not be over. Pistorius will be impossible to replace, but Roth will be a worthy

STATE SWIMMING Kevin Sullivan wasn’t victorious in his final high school meet, but he still is going out a winner. The Downers Grove North senior’s place in school history was already secured before he attempted to defend his state diving championship Saturday at the state finals at New Trier. While the Penn State recruit came up a hair short in that quest, his legacy will be based as much for what he did outside the pool as in it. Sullivan, who last year became the first diving champion in school history, racked up the sixth-highest point total in the 88-year history of the state meet, but it wasn’t enough to repeat. Homewood-Flossmoor junior Jack Williams, a club teammate of Sullivan’s, captured the title with 531.20 points Sullivan was second at 524.75 and Evanston senior Trevor Nelson a distant third with 501.10. If Sullivan was disappointed afterward, he didn’t show it. • In the history of the Plainfield Coop boys swimming program, Netzel and Tran are the only two surnames that dot the list of individual state medal winners. Ryan Netzel won eight individual medals before graduating last year, while his brother Alex won one. Brandon Tran, who graduated in 2017, took home four medals. The list just got longer. Juniors Alex Dvorak and Marc Avery combined to win three medals Saturday at the state finals at New Trier and they teamed with seniors Ethan Fox and Ryan Crafton to capture Plainfield’s first medal in the 400-yard freestyle relay, which finished 11th in 3:09.05. Avery joined Tran and Ryan Netzel as the only swimmers in program history to win two individual medals in the same year and he is the first to medal in the 50 or 100. • Maine South swimmer Brendan Forrest made his state meet debut at New Trier and did well enough to advance to Saturday’s finals in the 200yard freestyle and 500-yard freestyle. He had the ninth-best prelims time in the 200 and sixth-fastest clocking in the 500. The top six swimmers in each event advance to the championship heat, while the next six qualify for the consolation heat. Everyone in those two heats are awarded medals.

NATIONAL STAGE Plainfield’s Luke Winder wins his fourth indoor national pole vault championship at North Central Drama had become the norm at the NCAA Division III National Championships for the North Central College men’s track and field team recently.

The Cardinals placed second by a single point in both the indoor and outdoor championships in 2018. In no mood to do the same at this year’s indoor championship meet, the Cardinals surged ahead of the field with a series of clutch performances to win their sixth indoor national title and their 12th championship overall at the Reggie Lewis Center. Winder is the first pole vaulter in collegiate history in any division to win four indoor national championships, and, owning a trio of outdoor titles as well, is also the only seven-time pole vault champion collegiate track and field has yet to know.

RECORD SEASON Everything seemed to be breaking the way Joliet Central wanted heading into last week’s Plainfield North Sectional final. A few upsets ahead of them aided the red hot Steelwomen who had won 11-straight games heading into the round of 16 matchup with a conference team they split with during the season. With a 24-7 record, last year’s squad put up the most wins by a Central program since the Joliet Township team’s resplit in 2010. It also claimed the first regional championship in the same period.

FOURTH PLACE Benet Academy was openly disappointed Saturday night after a 49-39 loss to Rockton Hononegah in the IHSA Class 4A third-place game at Redbird Arena on the campus of Illinois State University. In the third-place game, Benet got out to a 12-0 run to open the game, but after cutting the lead to 14-3 with 7 minutes, 26 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Hononegah used a 14-0 run of its own that gave it a lead.

SHOOTING STARS On Saturday, March 16, Joliet Central forward Kendrick Williams announced on Twitter that he had committed to play college basketball at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The next day, Sunday, May 17, he went out and earned MVP honors at the Voyager Media Boys Basketball All-Star Shootout at the University of St. Francis in Joliet. He scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds as the South squad rallied for an exciting 136-133 victory over the North team. Williams is the second straight Joliet Central player to win MVP honors at the all-star event, which started in 2009. Ryan Saunders, who played at Kaskaskia College in downstate Centralia this season, won it last year. • Anyone that walked in right after tip-off of Voyager Media Girls Basketball All-Star Shootout would have thought there was a lot of scoring

in the opening moments since the scoreboard read 18-18. But it was all by design. The 18-18 score to start the game was in honor of Beth Dunlap. The Downers Grove North junior was fatally struck by a car on Feb. 19. She wore No. 18 as a setter on the Trojans volleyball team, helped them to a state runner-up finish last fall and was a member of the Voyager Media AllArea volleyball team. Throughout the end of the basketball season, Dunlap had been honored, so Voyager Media Publications decided to open the scoring at 18-18 in her memory. The 18-18 start meant a higher scoring total than usual as the North team, which included the Downers Grove North players, pulled away for a 91-81 victory at the Voyager Media Prep Shootout All-Star game on Sunday, March 17 at the University of St. Francis in Joliet. Niles West’s Sam Galanopoulos scored a game-high 20 points to lead the North squad to victory, 15 coming in the second half. Jennifer Krizka finished with seven points and five rebounds for the South team. But the multi-athlete at Joliet Catholic Academy has made contributions not only in sports but off the field too. With that in mind, she was awarded the Jeremy Izzo Character Award, which is named after the for-

mer JCA boys basketball coach, who passed away in 2010.

SAM I AM In the second half of the 2019 Voyager Media Prep Shootout All-Star game, Niles West senior Sam Galanopoulos took the game over, scoring 15 of her game-high 20 points, leading her team to the win and grabbing the game’s Most Valuable Player honors. Galanopoulos finished four points shy of the record for the game, but that was not why she put on the performance she did. She subbed out of the game with four minutes left to play, knowing she was close to the mark. Galanopoulos didn’t need an individual record — she needed a win. Admitting as much after the game, the Central Suburban League South Player of the Year was not going to lose the final game of her career in her high school uniform. That was how Galanopoulos played every game of her career that saw her put her name all over the Wolves’ record books that are headlined by WNBA star Jewell Loyd. While leading her team, Galanopoulos averaged 17.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game. For her achievements, she is the 2018-19 Voyager Media Girls Basketball Player of the Year.

Dave Says: Who owes the debt when parents die?

you would only be held liable for any of their debt if you were a co-signer on the loans dear dave,

dear Tammi,

My parents are getting up there in years, and they aren’t really prepared for when they pass away. They can’t afford life insurance at this point, and they also have a lot of debt. When they die, who will be liable for their debt?

Any outstanding debt your parents have upon passing will likely go against their estate. If they have a positive net worth—meaning they owned more than they owed—there will be money left over after the debts are paid, and this could go toward an

inheritance. If they have a negative net worth, which means they owed more than they owned, everything could be sold off to cover as much of the debt as possible. Regardless, you would only be held liable for any of their debt if you were a co-signer on the loans. I’d also suggest getting their permission to buy burial policies on them. If they won’t agree to this, you might have to save up money for their

final expenses yourself. In most areas, $10,000 to $15,000 is enough to cover basic burial costs for two people.
