Districts say students will make up missed days by JonAthAn sAmples| sTaff reporTer Jake Pelenis, of Downers Grove, didn’t listen to Gov. Pat Quinn’s state of the state address Wednesday. But when it comes to increasing Illinois’ minimum wage, the 22-year-old college student said he’s all ears. “I have bills to pay, and they are hard to meet sometimes making 40 cents above minimum wage,” said Pelenis, who makes $8.65 an hour at Family Video in Downers Grove. Pelenis would be one of approximately 1.1 million Illinois workers affected by the $1.75 minimum wage increase Quinn proposed during his annual state of the state address. Currently, minimum wage workers earn $8.25 per hour, and Quinn said he would like to see that number increase to $10 in the upcoming year.

As residents bundle up in preparation for a new winter storm system, area schools are considering options for making up the school days that have already been canceled this year. In what has already been a record setting start to the 2014 winter season, students in Downers Grove and Westmont have missed four days because of dangerously low temperatures and heavy snowfall. Students in District 99, District 58 and Community Unit School District 201 will most likely make up those days at the end of the current school year. “The number of days that have been missed this year is highly unusual,” said Jennifer Waldorf,communications director for District 58.“Typically, you would have one maybe two days missed due to some kind of inclement weather in the course >> see DISTRICT | page 5

>> WAGE, from page 1 “Our minimum wage workers are doing hard work,” Quinn said Wednesday. “They’re putting in long hours. Yet in too many instances, they are living in poverty. That’s not right. That’s not an Illinois value, and that’s not a fair shake.” Quinn made a similar plea last year during his 2013 address but did not have enough support

among the Illinois legislature to pass legislation. However, with Democratic supermajorities in both the House and Senate, the governor is poised to try and push a minimum wage increase through in the upcoming year. Still, many legislators and business leaders are not sold on the idea. State Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, said increasing the minimum wage

News would backfire on its supporters, causing employers to cut jobs and boosting unemployment. “It will produce the exact opposite of what folks in favor of it think it will accomplish,” Sandack said. “Small businesses are going to take defensive postures. They are going to lay people off and stop hiring people.” Citing the semantic differences between a “living wage” and the minimum wage, Sandack said any legislation to make the two one and the same would be “erroneous.” In his opinion, people who depend on minimum wage jobs such as teens and people with disabilities would suffer the most if the minimum wage were increased. Laura Crawford, president and CEO of the Downers Grove Chamber, agreed with Sandack

that minimum wages are not meant to be the primary share of a household’s income. “Minimum wage was never intended to be a familysupportive wage,” she said. Pelenis, who currently lives at home, doesn’t rely on his income from Family Video for housing, but he said some of his coworkers are struggling to make ends meet. Many of the people he works with are in their 20s, and some do depend on those paychecks to pay rent and other bills. He said many of those workers would benefit from a wage increase. “I can’t imagine anyone making what we’re making being upset about a raise,” Pelenis said. “It’s probably a lot harder to make those bill payments for people who have to worry about an apartment as well.”

Pelenis also works as a student journalist at the College of DuPage, where he attends school. Most of his income goes to bills, car insurance, food and gas, and Pelenis said he would like to see the minimum wage be raised to $10 an hour. However, the aspiring arts and entertainment journalist hopes he won’t have to rely on a minimum wage much longer. Although Sandack said he believes the intentions of supporters of the minimum wage increase are pure, he is worried that a pay raise for folks like Pelenis would mean less jobs for other people in a similar situation. “The real minimum wage is zero,” Sandack said. “There are a lot of people who can’t find work right now, who want to work.”

Water rates climb in Westmont, surrounding areas By Jonathan Samples Bugle Staff

Westmont residents will pay slightly more on their water bills in 2014. The average residential customer will see their water rates increase by 65 cents in the new year. Westmont residents were paying $12.36 bimonthly for the first 1,000 gallons of water used. With the increased fees, those customers will now pay $13.01. A fee increase of 65 cents per 1,000 gallons of water by both the city of Chicago and the DuPage Water Commission is causing the rate increase for residents of Westmont and surrounding municipalities. The DWC purchases Lake Michigan water and sells it to DuPage County suburbs. Part of the fee increase is the result of Chicago charging more for water that passes trough city limits, as well as

DWC capital improvements. The 65-cent increase only applies to residential customers who use 1,000 gallons or less. The village charges those customers a $5 fixed connection service fee, which is included in their $13.01 bimonthly bill. Residential customers who use more than 1,000 gallons are charged $8.01 per thousand gallons, making their bimonthly bill $16.02. Commercial customers using more than 1,000 gallons will be charged $9.01 per thousand gallons. Outside village residential customers will be charged $10.54 per thousand gallons and outside village commercial customers will be charged $11.54 per thousand gallons. For more information regarding water rates, Westmont residents should call the village clerk’s office at 630-981-6220.

Most school districts add five emergency days to their schedules that can be used throughout the year when classes are canceled. Mary Fergus, spokeswoman at the Illinois Board of Education, said those days are typically added to the end of the academic calendar, but can be inserted anywhere during the school year. With more than a month left in the winter season, school

districts are preparing for the number of days canceled to exceed five. If this were to occur, districts could simply add the additional days to the end of their calendars or apply for what Fergus called an “act of god” day. “Those are days that the district cancels school because they believe there is a threat to the health and safety of their students,” Fergus said. “They would submit the request to the regional superintendent and the Illinois state superintendent of education for approval.” Waldorf said District 58 administrators are waiting until

Life Achievement Award given to Lester teacher who’s all heart Pat Brown receives National PTA award If jumping rope for three hours doesn’t get your heart going, then perhaps a surprise award will. On Jan. 25, physical education instructor Pat Brown was busy hosting Lester’s annual Jump Rope for Heart fundraising event, as she has done for the past 26 years, when Principal Carin Novak, Lester PTA officers, and a crowd of parents and friends gave her a surprise. They presented Brown with the National PTA Life Achievement Award, which is the highest honor from the nation’s largest child advocacy organization. “This award is given to someone who goes above and beyond for all children, and acts as a tireless advocate for children’s education, health and

well-being. No one embodies that more than Pat Brown,”Lester PTA President Ann Cummins said. This award is given to someone who goes above and beyond for all children, and acts as a tireless advocate for children’s education, health and wellbeing. No one embodies that more than Pat Brown.” - Lester PTA President Ann Cummins

Brown has taught for nearly 30 years,26 of those at Lester School. She has brought innovative physical education instruction to the district, instituting “Movin’

in the Morning,” a before-school activity based program; “Motor Club,” an after-school program for first-graders; and an afterschool intramural volleyball program for sixth-graders that culminates with a game against the staff. Through her commitment to the Jump Rope for Heart charity, Lester has raised more than $156,000 for the American Heart Association and remains the only school to devote a weekend day to the program. “Mrs. Brown’s energy, passion and dedication are amazing, “Lester PTA President-Elect Kim Peters said. “We feel so lucky to have her at Lester.” As part of the award, Brown received a certificate of recognition and a10-karat gold lapel pin. She was joined at the event by her husband and her daughter Amy Freitag, who is a third-grade teacher at Lester.

Trojans top Proviso West, grab share of WSS lead By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Proviso West’s star guard, Mikala Boyd, didn’t suit up for Saturday’s West Suburban Silver showdown at Downers North due to a knee injury, but it likely wouldn’t have changed the game’s outcome had Boyd played because the Trojans were on a mission. After losing a tough matchup the previous weekend to the defending WSS champion Panthers—one which they led 37-24 at intermission—the Trojans had payback on their mind. Downers North led 14-9 after one quarter, and then held the Panthers to nine points combined during the second and third quarters of their eventual 51-35 victory. It marks the first time DGN has defeated Proviso West since Costello’s freshman year, but more important, the victory lifted the Trojans to a share of first place with the Panthers, who entered the contest undefeated in the WSS. “I feel bad about her injury,” said Costello, referring to Boyd, a Division I recruit (verbally committed to Toledo) who is believed to have sprained the meniscus in her right knee during the Panthers’ victory over York last Friday. “But with or

without Mikala, I think we could have got it done. We really knew what was at stake here.” TheTrojans (20-3,7-1) have two conference matchups remaining: at Glenbard West on Tuesday and at home vs. Lyons Township Friday night. Meanwhile, the Panthers are scheduled to play three WSS games in four days, starting with Hinsdale Central on Tuesday. Proviso West then takes on Glenbard West Thursday and Oak Park-River Forest on Friday. Hinsdale Central and OPRF figure to be the Panthers’ two toughest games. Without Boyd, whom West coach Kellee Robertson said likely will be out the rest of the year even if pending MRI results reveal no further damage, the Panthers could be hard-pressed to win either game. Boyd had been averaging a triple-double in the three games prior to her injury at York. Thus, the chances are very good that DGN—with victories over Glenbard West and LT— will at least share the WSS crown with Proviso. And winning it outright isn’t out of the realm of possibility, either. “I think we were very prepared and very ready to go,” DGN coach Stephan Bolt said. “Obviously Mikala’s a great player and I have best wishes for her, but I don’t >> see TROJANS | page 13

Sentinels hold off slumping Lisle By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

With Lisle getting ever so close to overtaking Westmont during the fourth quarter of the two Interstate Eight rivals’ contest Jan. 30, sophomore guard AnneMarie Carlson gave the Sentinels a boost when they needed it most. The Lions pulled to within two of Westmont, 32-30, on a Sierra Birdsell bucket, but Carlson drove to the hoop for a deuce that extended the Sentinels’ margin to 34-30. Carlson tacked on two more free throws for a 36-30 lead with 1:23 to play, and Mara Casper hit three free throws down the stretch, enabling Westmont to knock off the Lions, 39-33. “As the game went on and the pressure increased, I knew our team would respond well as long as we kept talking,” said Carlson, who scored a gamehigh 18 points. “We’ve been

I was just hoping that the team would work together, which we did.” The victory for Westmont (4-4 in I-8 play) improved its overall record to 9-13—quite a turnaround considering that the Sentinels lost seven straight to open the season. “We don’t talk about wins and losses; we talk about improving,” said Westmont coach Mike McCord. “I keep telling them we are getting better and better, and so this is just an example. We looked at the game that we played with them, we looked at the other teams they had beaten, the teams that have beaten us, and we just said, ‘OK we’re getting better.’ ” Leah Reeves’ three-pointer for Lisle with 1:07 left made it a one-possession game at 36-33. The Lions had three good looks from beyond the arc within the next 40 seconds, but couldn’t get any of their attempts to fall. Lisle coach Nick Balaban,

for just over 10 minutes between the second and third quarters. Costello scored 19 points and hauled in 13 rebounds—both game highs.

At one point this season, the Lions (17-8, 7-2) had won 11 straight games. “I don’t know what we can do,” he said. “We’ve got to do some soul-searching, we’ve got to find ourselves again, but there’s nothing happening with this team right now. I’m not going to sugarcoat anything, and there’s no such thing as moral victories.” Balaban said he and the Lions knew they had to pressure Carlson and junior guard Mara Casper right from the outset, but that didn’t happen. Lisle led early 4-0, but Casper, who scored 17, caught fire from the outside and nailed three 3-pointers in the first quarter, lifting Westmont to 13-5 lead. “We decided to take the bus ride over to Westmont,” Balaban said. “We knew the two strengths they had were Casper and No. 15 (Carlson), and we didn’t defend them. We were up 4-0 and we probably felt good about ourselves and nothing after that. There was no sense of urgency, and we are >> see HOLD | page 15

“Sarah is a competitor,” Bolt said. “She wants to win, she’s been on varsity for four years and she knows how our team has evolved through those years.

The first couple people we tried on Casper didn’t do the job.We worked on it in practice that No. 5 (Casper) is their best three-point shooter. In the first half, we weren’t even close to her. That’s disappointing because we pride ourselves in

defending and rebounding, and if we can’t do most things we’re not going to win games.” Casper’s fourth trey of the first half increased the lead to 20-8, but the Lions sliced Westmont’s advantage to 20-14 at intermission after a 6-0 run. “Our coach really relies on the first quarter, how we start the game,” Carlson said. “He really pushes getting (off) to a good start.” Lisle crept to within four points (20-16) on a Kretman basket in the third quarter, but Hailey Lechelt’s three-point play, followed by a layup from

Emma May, put the Sentinels comfortably ahead, 25-16. “They don’t quit, they really don’t,” McCord said. “We have had situations multiple times where all of a sudden things start going bad, but somehow we hang in there.” Birdsell was the only Lisle player in double figures with 13. “Right now, we’ve got to find a way to win a game,” Balaban said. “It’s not happening with the way we’re defending and rebounding.

Bengals rally in fourth, top Cougars By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

It was a tough weekend for the Plainfield South boys basketball team and a conversely great one for Plainfield East. After being atop the Southwest Prairie Conference for a few weeks, the Cougars dropped a pair of games to in-town rivals, including a 60-57 loss Saturday at Plainfield East, which saw the Bengals rally back from double digits in the fourth quarter. The Bengals now sit at 7-2 in league play and are atop the SPC. South is 6-3 and one game back. “I give South a lot of credit, they had a tough loss last night to North and we had a good win and I thought they came in with good energy,” said East coach Branden Adkins. “They are a scrappy team. They have been in first place for a few weeks and no one really talks about it. I give (South coach) Tim (Boe) a lot of credit for what he has done.” East used a 14-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to rally back and take the lead in the closing seconds. The Bengals were not celebrating just yet, as South has made a living on dramatic end-of-game shots this year. In fact, Shane Ritter has four game-winning, three point buzzer beaters on his resume this year and East made sure he was not going to get a chance to tie the game. “I told Nick (Novak) it’s basically like you are asking him for a date,” Adkins said. “I told him to stay on him and not let him touch the basketball.”

“We saw the tape on North from a couple months ago and coach told me to get all over him,” Novak said. “I had to get in his chest and not let him get a shot.” Corey Evers did get off a clean look at a three, but it rimmed out, giving East its fourth-straight win. “Four in a row and 13 wins and from where we were three weeks ago, I don’t know I would have said we would be here,” Adkins said. “We were really in a funk and games like this we wouldn’t have pulled out. This conference on any given night someone can win.” Before holding Ritter from getting off the final shot, Novak had a bigger impact on the comeback, both on and off the floor. He answered an Evers basket with a layup that put East up for good at 58-57. He was fouled on the play and missed the free throw, but chased down the loose ball rebound which led to Jordan Reed’s two free throws with 15 seconds left to put East up three. However, even before he got his game going, Novak was leading the team. “Nick came in at halftime and gave the team a bit of a butt chewing and that is a leader,” Adkins said. “At halftime he did it with his voice and then in the fourth quarter with his actions.” Adkins had his own words for the team in the huddle. “It seemed like for three quarters no bounce went our way, so I challenged them at the start of the fourth quarter and told them they had to find a way

to get it done,” he said. Part of that was getting junior Aaron Jordan, an Illinois recruit, going. Jordan had two fouls in the first quarter and sat the entire second period. He had only two of his team-high 15 points in the first half. “I thought we had him frustrated a little bit,” Boe said. “Our goal was to keep him under

20 and we did that.” Joshua Smith had 14 points for East, as did Myles Ward, while Novak had 10, eight in the fourth quarter. Ritter had game-high honors with 18 points, while Miles Snowden had 14 and Evers added 12. The Cougars will now look to rebound and get back atop the

SPC standings. “If we take care of the things we can control (we will win games),” Boe said. “You can control your effort, your defense, your rebounding and sometime the ball goes in, sometime it doesn’t. I feel good about our effort, I just wish we would have executed a little better.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

What an Italian hill town should be Orvieto has two distinct parts: the old-town hilltop and the dull new town below By Rick Steves Tribune Content Agency

Orvieto is one of the most striking, memorable and enjoyable hill towns in central Italy. Less than 90 minutes from Rome, Orvieto sits majestically high above the valley floor atop a big chunk of “tufo” volcanic stone, overlooking cypressdotted Umbrian plains. A visit here will reward you with a delightful, perfectly preserved and virtually traffic-free world highlighted by a colorful-insideand-out cathedral and some of Italy’s best wine. Orvieto has two distinct parts: the old-town hilltop and the dull new town below. All travelers start at the bottom, where train passengers disembark and drivers can leave their cars for free. Visitors can then drive or take an elevator or escalator to the medieval upper town. But my preferred mode is joining the locals to climb the town’s natural fortress hill on the slick funicular, which deposits riders about a 10-minute walk from the heart of town. Orvieto’s cathedral gets my vote for Italy’s liveliest facade. This colorful, prickly, Gothic facade, divided by four pillars, has been compared to a medieval altarpiece - a gleaming mass of mosaics, stained glass and sculpture. It’s a circa 1330 class in world history, back when no one dared question “intelligent design.” Things start with Creation and end with the Last Judgment. Inside, the nave feels spacious and less cluttered than those in most Italian churches. It used to be filled with statues and fancy chapels until 1877, when the people decided they wanted to “un-Baroque” their church. The nave is also an optical illusion; the architect designed it to be

wider at the back and narrower at the altar, making it appear longer than it is. Windows of thin sliced alabaster bathe the interior in a soft light. The cathedral’s highlight is the Chapel of San Brizio, featuring Luca Signorelli’s brilliantly lit frescoes of the Day of Judgment and Life after Death. Although the frescoes refer to themes of resurrection and salvation, they also reflect

ThE ToWn SITS AToP A vAST unDERGRounD nETWoRK of ETRuSCAn-ERA CAvES, WEllS AnD TunnElS. the turbulent political and religious atmosphere of Italy in the late 1400s. Signorelli’s ability to tell stories through human actions and gestures, rather than symbols, inspired his younger contemporary, Michelangelo, who meticulously studied Signorelli’s work. Behind the Duomo, a complex of medieval palaces called Palazzi Papali shows off the city’s best devotional art. Not to be missed is the marble Mary and Child, who sit beneath a bronze canopy, attended by exquisite angels. This protoRenaissance ensemble, dating from around 1300, once filled the niche in the center of the cathedral’s facade (where a replica sits today). Orvieto also boasts a rich underground world. The town sits atop a vast underground network of Etruscan-era caves, wells and tunnels. Guided tours of the medieval caves offer a glimpse into how these ancient Italians lived, from the

remains of an old olive press to a pigeon coop where the birds were reared for roasting. Even now, you’ll still see pigeon (“piccione”) dishes featured on many Orvieto menus. St. Patrick’s Well - 175 feet deep, 45 feet wide, and 496 steps down - impresses modern engineers to this day. Thanks to its natural hilltop fortification, Orvieto served as a 16thcentury place of refuge for the pope. Wanting to ensure he had water during a time of siege, he built this extravagant well, with two spiral stairways leading down to a bridge from which people could scoop up water. The double-helix design was crucial for allowing efficient traffic flow (imagine if donkeys and people, balancing jugs of water, had to go up and down the same stairway). Digging this was a huge project. Even today, when faced with a difficult task, Italians say, “It’s like digging St. Patrick’s Well.” Of course, no visit to Orvieto is complete without trying its famous Classico wine. One of my favorite places to do this is at the Tenuta Le Velette winery, just outside Orvieto, where Cecilia and Corrado Bottai welcome visitors who make an appointment. As the volcanic soil is very rich in minerals, grape vines thrive here, as they have since Etruscan times. In fact, the Bottais still keep bottles in the same cellar where the Etruscans used to store their wines. Dug from “tufo” stone, the cellar provides the perfect conditions for aging wine. While Orvieto is busy with tourists during the day, the town is quiet after dark. The back streets feel oblivious to the crush of modern-day tourism. Evocative lanes seem to keep the mystery of the Middle Ages alive. I like to close the evening with an after-dinner stroll, when the town is lamp-lit and romantic, then find a perfect spot to sit and simply savor the quiet thrill of a hill town after dark.

come to order

Pare down that reading pile Information is meaningless if you don’t take the time to read it From health updates to decorating ideas to news items, magazines contain a wealth of information. Sue Becker However, that Come to Order information is meaningless if you don’t take the time to read it. Here are some ideas on how to keep your reading pile under control.

Set aside reading time Maybe you’ve told yourself you’ll read when you have time, but you never do have time. One solution is to actually schedule reading time on your calendar. Another is to get into the habit of reading at a particular time each week (e.g., Thursday nights from 9 to 10 p.m., or every day for 15 minutes before you go to bed). At a minimum, make time to read whenever your reading container is full. Carry unread articles with you to make use of otherwise wasted waiting time (at the doctor’s office, in line at the grocery store, on the train or bus, etc.).

Sort your reading pile Recognize that you may be able to skim articles from “fun” publications (e.g., a hobby magazine), while those of a

more serious nature (e.g., a news magazine or something work-related) may require more thorough reading. In addition, you may be able to read the fun stuff just about anywhere, while the more intense reading needs to take place in a quiet setting. Tear out articles of interest. When you discover an article you want to re-read or maybe even save, don’t set the entire publication aside for later; tear the article out right then and there. This will help you avoid the frustration of coming across a Maybe you’ve told yourself you’ll read when you have time, but you never do have time. One solution is to actually schedule reading time on your calendar. periodical you’ve saved for some reason but you don’t remember why. If you feel you have to save an article once you’ve read it, file it where you’ll actually be able to find it again. Give yourself a deadline. If you receive a new issue of a magazine but you haven’t yet read the previous one, give yourself a deadline to read the old issue and then get rid of it. Otherwise, the magazines will continue to pile up, and you may never get

caught up. And after a while, the information in the older issues may become outdated. Another option would be to recognize that you might never catch up on the backlog, so let go of all old periodicals and keep only the current issues.

Evaluate your reading pile If you seem to consistently fall behind on reading certain periodicals, determine why. Maybe your tastes or interests have changed, and magazines on topics you previously enjoyed are no longer relevant to you. It may be time to cancel some subscriptions.

Donate old magazines Contact local establishments to see if they might be interested in your old magazines. Some hospitals, nursing homes, medical offices, and beauty/ barber shops will accept them, as will some resale shops. Just be sure to remove your address label to protect your privacy. Best wishes as you try to keep that reading pile under control.
