schools to begin using maia learning for career/college search process To our students and families of District 219: Our school district is pleased to announce that we will be transitioning from our current “Naviance” Career and College Platform, to a new platform called “MaiaLearning”.

However during the course of this semester, we will be rolling out the new platform to our juniors first, and then the rest of the student body. After reviewing a variety of products last year, our teams have concluded that the new platform MaiaLearning will clearly benefit our students and their families as they begin their career and college exploration.

Dave Says: Don’t play the timeshare game dear dave, How do you feel about timeshares, and the free trips and dinners they offer as part of their sales pitches? Is it possible to win with these things?

dear dan,

dan

In my opinion, timeshares are a complete waste of time and money.

Lots of folks go into this kind of thing believing they’ll play the game and win. They think they’ll get a vacation weekend and other free stuff, then just say “no” when the time comes.

The problem is, most people aren’t as tough a sell as they think. Besides, do you really want to waste a weekend of your life letting some pushy salesper-

son twist your arm? That’s not my idea of fun.

As a whole, timeshares have an incredibly high dissatisfaction rate.

It’s almost impossible to find anyone who’s happy they bought into one, and there are good reasons for this. Why would you pay thousands of your hard-earned dollars for a

tiny place you may or may not get a chance to visit once a year? Add to this the fact that you have no equity in the place, and you’re stuck paying ongoing maintenance fees.

My advice? Don’t take a chance playing the game, Dan. There are much better uses for your time and money!

notre dame held off by benet defense, looking to learn and move into playoffs a stronger team by mark gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

class 3a no. 1 notre dame fell to benet academy Friday night in lisle.

phoTo by mark gregory

For the Benet Academy boys basketball game, Valentine’s Day was all about winning.

Prior to player introductions, Redwing coach Gene Heidkamp was honored for reaching his 300th career win at the school. He then led Benet to a 45-43 East Suburban Catholic Conference win over Notre Dame, top-ranked Class 3A team in the state.

“We needed a big win,” Heidkamp said. “We have played a very tough schedule and come up short against some very good teams. Notre Dame is an outstanding team and to be able to hold on and beat them is a good win.

I thought our defense was really good. You know they are going to keep coming back – which they did.”

On that final shot, junior twosport standout Anthony Sayles came up short on a three-point attempt as the horn sounded.

The win was the 20th of the season for the Redwings, the 11th consecutive season Benet has hit that standard.

“To get it in a game like this is meaningful,” Heidkamp said.

Almost from the tip, Benet played its style of tough defense and precise offense to score, as well as prevent the Dons from getting into a rhythm of their own.

“Credit to Benet, I thought they controlled the tempo and the game and for us, hopefully, it is a learning experience in regards to execution on offense,” said Notre Dame coach Kevin Clancy. “I don’t think we did a good job screening on offense and therefore, we took a lot of tough, contested shots.

When you play a team like Benet,

Red Stars’ Ertz up for BBC ‘Footballer of the Year’

julie ertz is up for bbc Football of the year.

T

he shortlist for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Women’s Footballer of the Year award was announced, with Chicago Red Stars captain Julie Ertz among the five nominees.

Ertz was a focal point for both the Red Stars and the United States Women’s National Team.

The U.S. WNT went on a 23-game unbeaten streak in 2019 with Ertz earning 22 starts during that run.

She made five starts in six matches during the FIFA World Cup, scoring her first career tournament goal

dons From page 5 every possession is critical. It limits touches and possessions for our offense and that can be a little frustrating for our guys and Benet also did a good job taking away any transition stuff for us.”

Notre Dame (35-4, 7-1) was paced by Troy D’Amico and Anthony Sayles, who scored 12 points each. Sayles tallied 10 in the first half, while all but three of D’Amico’s points came after intermission.

Benet’s Tyler Van Eekeren led all scorers with 16 points.

“They are a great team and

against Chile in the second group stage match. Ertz became a twotime World Cup champion by defeating the Netherlands 2-0 in the final.

Ertz’s outstanding play would earn her a number of international accolades. At September’s FIFA Awards she was part of the first-ever FIFPro World XI, cementing her as one of the best 11 players in the world.

Two months later, Ertz was named U.S. Soccer’s Player of the Year for the second time in her career.

She continued her world-class

play for the Chicago Red Stars, making 16 appearances for Chicago in the 2019 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season.

She commandeered the defense to a franchise-record five consecutive wins to finish the regular season as the defense conceded only two goals in five matches.

Ertz would captain Chicago in the NWSL Semifinal against Portland, helping the defense shutout the Thorns offense en route to Chicago’s first-ever NWSL Championship with a 1-0 victory.

they have some great athletes and great players,” Van Eekeren said.

“We just played really well down the stretch and played great defense all game. We got the ball inside-out and hit some big shots, but defense really drove the whole thing. They are a great team and it meant a lot for us to beat them.”

Both teams have a few regular season games before heading into the postseason.

“We always knew we could compete with anyone, but this is a big confidence booster as we finish the regular season and head to the playoffs,” Van Eekeren said.

Notre Dame can still at least

share the ESCC title, which is not what it was hoping for, but a deep run into the 3A playoffs and a chance at a state title is what would make that all OK. “We had goals as a team to go 9-0 and win conference and that hurts a little bit. We still have an opportunity to tie with Marian Catholic,” Clancy said. “We will have some games in the state tournament where every possession matters and hopefully it is a learning game for us. Our guys are hurt, but when we sit down and reflect on this, we will take some positive takeaways as well as some critical ones.”
