Point of no return Area schools exercise zero tolerance with head injuries By Robin Ambrosia and Laura Katauskas Staff Reporters

blow to the head is nothing to take lightly, and as national sports organizations have toughened policies, area school districts are following suit. The days of an athlete “blacking out” on the sideline or field and resuming play after a few minutes came to a close beginning last fall, in the NFL as well as in high schools across the country, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations’ website. Due to the increased education regarding concussions, an athlete getting his or her “bell rung” no

longer can result in getting an order to “shake it off and get back in the game” from the coach. “I wish they would take the word ‘concussion’ out,” said Bob Flynn, longtime athletic trainer for Minooka High Schools.“People hear the word concussion,and they think nothing of it. Just a person getting their bell rung.Then I tell them it’s a traumatic brain injury, and they say, ‘Oh, that’s not good.’” Flynn said there have been as many as 20 concussion cases in the school district since the beginning of the school year. “I’m dealing with two right now,” he said this week.“One in wrestling See CONCUSSION, page 3

Crazy Rock demolished By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The infamous sign of dancing girls is gone and, along with it, the Crazy Rock gentlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club.

The village of Romeoville purchased the club and small apartment complex located just off of Route 53 and Romeo Road for approximately $1.3 million in the fall. The end of 2012 marked the end of the operation, when the structure was completely razed. Plans for the area have yet to be determined. Also highly anticipated is the demolition of an old grocery store within the Spartan Square

shopping plaza off of Route 53 and site of future redevelopment of the downtown area. Demolition of a portion of the strip mall is expected this week. As construction proceeds on the new athletic center adjacent to the strip mall, plans continue for the existing retail center to be demolished completely once all leases have been honored.The new Athletic and Event Center is anticipated to be completed in December 2013.

Romeoville to join Enterprise Zone By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Romeoville recently modified an intergovernmental agreement to allow Midwest Generation to join the Des Plaines River Valley Enterprise Zone allowing the coal-burning plants to reap tax cuts from the state. By joining the Des Plaines River Valley Enterprise Zone, Midwest Generation can qualify for a state sales tax exemption on all building materials associated with rehabilitation and/or new construction. Embarking on a $100 million project to upgrade its facilities to comply with state-regulated environmental policies; the company stands to benefit from the inclusion. Romeoville Village Manager Steve Gulden said the enterprise

Parents, coaches and even student-athletes now are being required to know the signs of a concussion, a traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head or neck that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skill, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Having repeated concussions before the body recovers from the first can slow recovery and increase the chance of long-term damage to the brain. Symptoms include a headache or feeling of pressure in the head, nausea, dizziness or balance problems, sensitivity to light or noise, blurry vision, loss of concentration, memory problems and/or a general not “feeling right.” In the past, the Illinois High School Association’s policy allowed room for interpretation, said Bolingbrook High School Athletic Trainer Mattie Kaminskas.

We want to see that happen as quickly as possible…the loss of this generation plant would be devastating. A facility of this size has a substantial impact to the community.” Scott Perry, representing the Will County Generation Station, confirmed the company filed for bankruptcy due to the challenges of the current economy. He said this partnership would not only help the company meets its environmental modifications but will provide union craft labor and a benefit to the community. The Will County plant alone provides the electricity for

approximately 200,000 homes. Romeoville resident Tomasz Suliga called on the village to ensure that despite the bankruptcy filing, Midwest Generation be held accountable to the original required date for the environmental upgrades—2013, not 2015, which the company has requested. Shorewood resident Robert Schwartz, representing the Will-Grundy Building Council, called on the village to approve the zone agreement. He said the move “would improve the quality of life for all within Will County, as well as create jobs for so many in Romeoville and the area where it is highly needed.” With all communities approving the measure, the Des Plaines Valley Enterprise Zone Board now has final approval.

after suffering a concussion.Within the Valley View School District at both Bolingbrook and Romeoville High Schools, policy dictates that once an athlete has a head injury, an athlete must be symptom free for the same number of days consecutively that they have experienced symptoms. Flynn said coaches and parents have been pretty good about erring on the safe side when it comes to concussions. Even players who may be suffering don’t argue to go back into the game. “Usually, they’re not feeling too good,” He said. The signs to watch for a potential concussion in others include appearing dazed or stunned, or confused about assignment or position. A person can move clumsily and cannot recall events prior to hit or fall and/or loses consciousness, even briefly. A concussion cannot be seen, and sometimes symptoms may not show up until hours or even days after the injury. Anyone who has potential for a concussion, especially if exhibiting any of the symptoms, should discontinue play and be evaluated immediately by a health care professional. RHS Athletic Trainer Anna DiDonna, ATC, explains that a student athlete’s progress is monitored in the athletic training office or by their physician. “Once they have met that guideline, we begin a gradual return to play protocol which involves slowly reintroducing physical activity and then sport

shake it off and then wake up to issues you never dreamed could happen.” With close to 400 athletes in high contact sports such as soccer, football and volleyball, it is not unusual to see 10 to 15 concussions a season—this fall’s total hit 21 at BHS. Many school districts perform baseline testing on their at-risk students at the start of the season, as is the case at Valley View and Joliet Township High School. Baseline testing has become required by many schools, park districts, clubs and other youth athletic organizations. Trained health care professionals conduct pre-season exams to assess an athlete’sbalanceandbrainfunction, including learning and memory skills, ability to pay attention or concentrate, how quickly he or she thinks and solve problems, as well as for the presence of any previous concussion symptoms. Results from these baseline tests are compared to a similar exam conducted after the injury by a health care professional if an athlete has a suspected concussion. JTHS Athletic Director at Christopher Olson reports that the school follows legislation and IHSA protocol and uses ImPact concussion software for baseline testing athletes. ImPact Applications, which stands for Immediate PostConcussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing, is described as a scientifically validated,

computerized system that can be administered by an athletic trainer, school nurse or athletic director after training is completed. “We have certified athletic trainers from ATI at both campuses who are educated on the ImPact testing and concussion recognition,” said Olson. “They follow the IHSA return-to-play policy regarding head injuries. We have not had issues. Parents and athletes are made aware of concussion policy in pre-season meetings and information is also located in our athlete/parent handbook.” Flynn said it is crucial for all concerned to err on the side of caution. “We want to make sure the students have full cognitive function later in life,” he said. Many area schools are part of the SDEAA, which adheres to the guidelines of the National Federation of High School Associations. Recently, the NFHSA announced policy changes on their website regarding concussions. “Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports” is a free, online course offered by the CDC to coaches, parents,and others helping to keep athletes safe from concussion. This course helps recognize a concussion and how to respond. It can be found at www.cdc.gov/ concussion/headsup/online_ training.html.A blow to the head is nothing to take lightly, and as national sports organizations have toughened policies, area school districts are following suit.

At Minooka, Flynn said, that includes starting them out on light aerobics, walking then running on a treadmill.That’s followed by some weight training, all monitored by him or his staff.Then they will do some sport-specific training. If all goes well, he said, the student can be cleared to play.The process can take days, weeks or months, he added. At BHS, a SCAT (Sports Concussion Assessment Tool) II test is performed every other day, checking for concentration levels, memory, balance, upper limb movement and delayed reactions. “We check for anything out of the ordinary and monitor their symptoms,” said Kaminskas. “We stress to students and parents how serious a concussion can be. High school brains are still developing— they can suffer severe damage.” She recalls a story that she uses as an example to her student athletes who may want to rush back into the game—a student who played girls’ soccer who suffered a concussion, never reporting earlier concussions she received. She broke her nose, but returned to the game a week later. She was hurt again, suffering a concussion. Days later, she lost all control of her limbs. She had to relearn how to function. “We have to let students know just how important it is to be honest with their symptoms,” Kaminskas said. “You could

Big Brothers Big Sisters launch nationwide search, reunite campaign Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties will mark January as National Mentoring Month by participating in the launch of a nationwide campaign to locate and reunite with former Bigs, Littles, donors and staff, board and family members. The reunion effort is an extension of Start Something, a national initiative Big Brothers Big Sisters unveiled two years ago in partnership with the Ad Council. The effort invites all adults – not just volunteers -- to support quality mentoring to change the odds for children facing adversity. “Our nationwide search and reunite effort extends Start Something to thousands of people in Will, Grundy Kankakee and Iroquois Counties who have an affinity with Big Brothers Big Sisters, but have not been asked to stay or become re-engaged with the organization,” said Big Brothers Big Sisters CEO Lisa Morel Las. “Our hope is that by bringing our alumni together and showing them how much we appreciate them, we will open avenues for people who are already invested in our work to Start Something [Again] to help kids succeed in school and life.” The alumni search and reunite campaign was developed by Brand Architecture of Boulder, Colorado, headed by Frederic Terral, a former Big Brother, himself, who often wondered why the organization never asked him to donate or re-enroll as a mentor. The program will include

creative elements, social media strategies, and “ReuniteNow. org” guerilla marketing tactics. In addition, Big Brothers Big Sisters will produce a series of public service announcements featuring notable former “Bigs” and “Littles” and celebrity supporters who will tell their stories and invite alumni to Start Something [Again]. Big Brothers Big Sisters carefully matches children of single, low-income or incarcerated parents or sons and daughters of military personnel in long-term, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships. Independent studies find Littles are more likely than their peers to show improvement in school, their behavior and their self-esteem and aspirations. People who register via BigBrothersBigSisters.org to join the alumni network will have opportunities to be recognized in marketing efforts and special VIP events with celebrity supporters and ambassadors. Additionally, corporate partners will offer alumni special offers and discounts. National alumni network members will also be able to reconnect personally with their former Bigs, Littles, staff or board members and friends, and enjoy membership in existing or soonto-be formed local auxiliary or booster clubs to support recruitment and fundraising efforts.

Humane society needs your help By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

A strong grass-roots organization, the Romeoville Humane Society’s mission strives to care for the community’s animals and is looking for help to save a few in desperate need. Never turning away an animal because of medical issues, the society cares for each animal, regardless of its condition. However, the group is faced with three dogs, Rocco, a 5-year old Shar pei pit mix, Miss Molly, a 5-year-old rat terrier; and Shelby, a 6-year-old German Shepherd mix; who all need surgical care that will cost $7,500. “We scrimp and save anywhere we can to be able to afford their care,” said Humane Society Board Member Megan Ziller. “We have asked Trio Foundation for help in the past. We have also asked for help and donations from Petco, Petsmart and Pet Supplies Plus. So far, we have enough to cover these animals and their care, but it will make a huge dent in our funds.” To care for these specific dogs, the group is hosting fundraisers for all three. Through online fundraising the group has raised $865. Rocco, who is described as a gentle-loving goofball, was recently diagnosed with cancer and has already been to see an oncology specialist at VCA Aurora. His biopsy and ultrasound indicate that the cancerous tumor can be removed, but due to the location of the mass, he may experience other issues such as incontinence after the removal. To donate to Rocco’s surgery and cancer treatment, visit: http://apps.facebook.com/ fundrazr/activity/07ab586225 37470db00335800653e9ce#. UN0aGFw9s2o.email. Miss Molly, noted as adorable, well behaved and very sweet, came to the society with a previous eye injury. The eye itself is bulging and will most likely cause further damage if left untreated. Two veterinarians recommend that the eye be removed. To donate to Molly’s

eye surgery,visit:http://fundrazr. c o m / c a m p a i g n s / 5 PA r 3 # . UN0Z7SMhXwM.email “Shelby is the cutest thing on four legs, but two of her legs don’t work so well,” said Ziller. Shelby came to the group extremely overweight and almost completely unable to use her back legs. Now down to a very healthy weight, but still unable to walk well using her back legs,she falls frequently and has difficulty getting up from a sitting or laying position. “We do bring her to adoption events on her good days, but even then she lays most, if not all of the time and ‘swims’ across the floor when she wants attention from someone,” said Ziller.“She is quite the attention hog. People are drawn to her when they see her, and she loves the attention and begs for more by offering you her paw as she lays there.” X-rays indicate that neither of Shelby’s hip bones are actually in the socket, with both of her back legs supported by her muscle structure alone, causing the bones to rub against each other leaving Shelby in great pain. The veterinarian has proposed a surgery that would greatly lessen or completely remove her pain and allow her to walk more easily, one hip at a time. To donate to Shelby’s hip surgery, visit: http://fundrazr. c o m / c a m p a i g n s / 4 PA s 4 # . UN0Z15b9Lco.email. All funds used to cover the care of the animals come from funds raised or donated. Though such costs are involved, the society does not change adoption fees because of an animal’s medical care. For instance, Rocco’s adoption fee will remain at $200, as all other dogs ages 1through 7, though his medical bills rack up to $5,000. Ziller worries not only about these three animals but asks the community to keep in mind the ultimate goal of the allvolunteer based group—to raise enough funds to build a facility. Currently animals are cared for through foster homes. “We need to fundraise not only for these animals, but for future animals and to be able

to sustain ourselves,” said Ziller. “We don’t want to run out of money and close up shop! Obviously so many animals in this area need us. We won’t let them down.” You also can donate via the website at http:// romeovillehumanesociety.org/ or you could mail your donations to: Romeoville Humane Society, PO Box 7052, Romeoville, IL 60446.

Time to boycott

Vote ‘em out not shoot ‘em out

When you enter the village of Romeoville on Joliet Road you will notice that from Route 53 to 135th Street there are five gas stations — Citco, BP, Speedway, Shell and Mobil. All are mini marts where you can get gas, coffee, snacks and beers. Nothing really unique, but what is different about them is the price of their gas.The price of their gas seems to always be 15 to 20 cents higher than the gas prices on Weber Road, Lockport, Crest Hill or Joliet. Is it a special blend, a magic gas that makes your car go farther on a gallon of gas? No. It’s a group of gas station owners who set their prices higher than anywhere else in the area, knowing that you the

customer will pay the price. See, most of you don’t shop around for cheaper prices or drive to Crest Hill or Joliet to get lower prices. They know that. They know that most of your won’t take the time, so you end up in their gas stations. And that’s why they keep getting away with the gas gouging. They know the Village of Romeoville and the attorney general’s office won’t do anything to them. That’s why it’s up to the customers to boycott these gas stations until they stop their outrageous acts and stop taking advantage of the people of Romeoville. Richard M. Strom Romeoville

It’s time American society recognizes that a lack of meaningful regulation with respect to the availability of certain types of guns and ammunition is a major contributing factor to shooting deaths. Even the majority of National Rifle Association members favor sensible measures to keep assault weapons; highcapacity magazines; and body armor-piercing, jacketed and hollow-point ammunition out of the wrong hands. Wayne La Pierre’s remedy of more guns is patently absurd! His incessant whipping up of anti-governmental paranoia only obstructs the pursuit of genuine solutions to prevent the slaughter! Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (Columbine/1999), SeungHui Cho (Virginia Tech/2007), Jared Loughner (Tucson/2011) and now Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook) all gained access to legally obtained semi-automatic

weapons and large capacity magazines to commit mass murder and serious injuries. In many instances, “good guys with guns” were already present, but were ineffectual for one reason or another. Firefighters and school teachers cannot be expected to bear arms while performing their duties! Moreover, they did not bargain to become security guards. While the solution is multi-faceted, it is clear that it must include restriction of high firepower weapons from the hands of civilians. Even law enforcement personnel are required to be certified in judgment pistol, accuracy and safety courses before they are permitted to carry weapons. Presently, most civilians are not required to undergo such training, and can evade background checks for criminal history, domestic violence, drug abuse and mental health issues. They can even carry assault weapons concealed on

their persons! Studies have shown that most people in legal possession of any guns for purposes of self-defense are four times more likely to experience an accidental shooting, seven times a criminal assault or homicide and eleven times either an attempted or completed suicide. There are over 30,000 firearms deaths each year in the United States and over 200,000 non-fatal gunshot injuries. In addition, these shootings cost us billions per year in medical expenses and lost productivity. The citizenry of this nation is governed by consent, not coercion. We are the government!

Adelmann Regional History Collection debuts at Lewis The Adelmann Regional History Slide Collection is now available online. The Lewis University History Center collection features almost 500 historic images of the Lockport area and the Illinois and Michigan Canal. Representing the work of almost three years, Lewis University student interns worked closely with university librarians and staff to scan and identify the 35mm slides. “The majority of images are from Lockport, showing businesses, residences, parks, community activities, and the I&M Canal. Most date from the 1970s through the 1990s,” history student Stefany Drabes described. The history major has worked for the last six months as a paid intern under a grant from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation. Dr. John Lamb, professor emeritus and founding director of the ARHC, took the photographs for the slides. “As a long-time resident of Lockport, professor Lamb developed a historical perspective for the region and

began collecting I&M Canalrelated items,” Drabes added. “The photographs include the houses of prominent Lockport figures such as William O’Connell, Bruce Cheadle, and Patrick Fitzpatrick; as well as many local Lockport businesses.” Robert Pruter, librarian, reviewed each slide with Lamb to ensure the most accurate description possible to maximize the searching capability. The slides are an important part of state and local history that is now easily available to the public. The Slide Collection joins other online materials such as the Adele Fay Williams Collection of Drawings and Prints, the H.H. Carter Collection, the Robert Hawley Milne Collection, and the Postcard Collection. Visit http://tinyurl.com/ ajd3rqr to view the collection. “Dr. Dennis Cremin, director of the Lewis University History Center, made the digitization of the various slides in the ARHC a priority project.

THE BUGLE JANUARY 10, 2013

H o ro s c o p e s Stay on top of things. Don’t be overwhelmed by a problem that could snowball in the week ahead. You may feel as if you have too much on your plate to handle, but relief is around the corner.

Stay out of the limelight. Your best bet for success is to work quietly behind the scenes in the upcoming week. Focus on the bigger picture, rather than trying to gain personal glory. Maintain a low profile.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Don’t shy away from challenges in the week ahead, as you can overcome any obstacle. A special someone may need some time before discussing deep issues.

You can’t please everyone. Your accomplishments may have gained recognition, but they also may have stirred up the green-eyed monster. Don’t apologize for doing your job well in the week ahead.

Run a tight ship. It might not matter to anyone but you, but by staying organized, you will function at a much higher level in the coming week. Honor commitments and don’t let responsibilities go unfulfilled.

Break out of the rut. Take a break from routines by exploring your creative side this week. Exert some effort on insignificant pursuits; they will sharpen your mind for more important tasks later.

Little things mean a lot. Loved ones may be difficult to approach due to personal obligations in the week ahead. Brighten their day with a small gift or treat that will bring them out of the doldrums.

Short cuts may cause more harm than good. No matter how arduous it may seem, take the time to make sure the job is done correctly. Do not merely go through the motions in the week ahead.

Motivate yourself. You have the experience and skill to get the job done. Look for inspiration to take you to the finish line in the upcoming week. A friend’s passing comment may turn into a lucrative opportunity.

Success or failure is determined in the planning stages. Charting a sound course is the key to seeing a project through to fruition. The hard work you do this week will allow for ample playtime later.

Keep your feet on the ground. There may be an impulse to shirk responsibilities to pursue some leisure time. This week, staying focused on necessary tasks will yield rewards and security.

Business comes first. In an ideal world, you could do what you want - but when responsibility beckons, you must answer. Work takes precedent in the first half of the week. Make up for lost time later.

Locals enjoy Orange Bowl experience By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

From the moment Northern Illinois University was invited to play in the Orange Bowl, the first-ever BCS bowl game for the Huskies or any Mid-American Conference school, NIU was disrespected by national media. No one gave the back-to-back MAC champions any chance in the game and no one believed in the Huskies except the players and coaches in their locker room. One of the biggest misnomers was that NIU would played scared against a legendary program like Florida State. The Seminoles have won two national championships, produced a pair of Heisman Trophy winners and have their home field named for Bobby Bowden, the winningest coach in college football, who retired only two years ago. Although they lost the game 31-10, the Huskies proved on the opening kick-off that they were not intimidated by the iconic tomahawk on the FSU helmet and it was one of the three players from the Voyager Media coverage area that set the tone. After the returner was brought down on the opening kick-off, See LOCALS, page 18

Flyers bounce back with win The Lewis University men’s basketball team spun its wheels for the first 10 minutes of their contest against Missouri S&T as the Miners held a 17-8 lead over the Flyers with 9:34 remaining in the opening stanza. Lewis, however, kicked it into high gear and outscored Missouri S&T, 62-38, the rest of the way to claim the 70-55 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over the Miners at the Bullman MultiPurpose Building on Saturday (Jan. 5) afternoon. “I thought we came out sluggish in the first half,” Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost said. “The second half was a lot better. “We came out with more purpose and a bigger sense of urgency,” Trost continued. “We just need to find a way to get it done, continue to get better and make progress each game.” Lewis sophomore guard Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./ Riverside-Brookfield) posted a game-high 23 points for the Flyers on 8-for-13 shooting, while backcourt mate Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton) collected 16 points -

and three trifectas - in the win. Lewis sophomore forward Julian Lewis (Flossmoor, Ill./ Homewood-Flossmoor) chipped in 13 points, while freshman forward Kyle Nelson (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) had a teamhigh seven rebounds and five blocked shots in the victory. With the win,Lewis improves to 7-3 overall and 1-1 in conference play, while the host Miners are now 4-6 on the campaign and 0-3 in GLVC action. Missouri S&T junior guard Mudi Eruteya had a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds to top the Miners. The Miners also received 14 points from Nusrath Khan. Defensively, the Flyers were a nuisance, as they held Missouri S&T to 30.4 percent (14-for-46) shooting from the floor and 8.3 percent (1-for-12) shooting from beyond the arc. Lewis also forced 20 turnovers on the afternoon. This is the fifth time in Lewis’ last six contests that they have held their opponents to under 40.0% shooting from the floor.

WOMEN’S HOOPS The Lewis University women’s basketball team suffered their first Great Lakes Valley Conference loss at the hands of Missouri S&T, 69-62, on Saturday (Jan. 5), breaking their five game winning streak. The Flyers fall to 8-2 on the season and 1-1 in the GLVC while the Lady Miners improve to 7-4 on the year and 3-0 in conference play. “Missouri S&T was tougher than us today,” Lewis head women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen said. “We didn’t respond to the challenge and they were able to take us out of our flow offensively.” Both teams struggled to find a rhythm in the first half, tying up each other two times before Lewis took the lead 7-6 on a Mariyah Henley (Skokie, Ill./Niles North) jump shot at the 12-minute mark. The Flyers’ lead grew to six points with just under nine minutes left in the half, helped See FLYERS, page 18

Spartans grab win over Kennedy By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

While most of the Southwest Prairie Conference took the Friday night off before returning to school, the Romeoville boy basketball team took to the court and grabbed a 49-37 win over visiting Kennedy. The win ran the Spartans record to 4-11 on the season, three of those now coming during the winter break, as Romeoville went 2-2 in its own Christmas Classic, placing second in the large school bracket. “After the way we played in the tournament, I am a little disappointed with how we came out today,” Romeoville coach Jeff Bambule said.“But, I’ll take it.” Spartan senior Jimmy Moon paced the team with a game-high 29 points. He connected on seven consecutive three-point attempts and finished 7-of-12 from behind the arc. Overall, Moon was 9-of-15 shots from the floor. James Boyd added nine points for Romeoville. “He carried us today and we needed it,” Bambule said of Moon. “Our defense is what we rely on to put pressure on teams and we didn’t put any pressure on them today. They handled it, give them credit, they attacked it.” Moon tallied 16 points in the third quarter, accounting for all the Spartan scoring in the frame. He hit four straight three’s during the first four minutes of the quarter, giving the Spartans a See WIN, page 17

WIN Continued from page 16 10-point lead, 30-20, their biggest lead of the game. Kennedy (7-6) would battle back and cut the score to four three minutes into the fourth quarter, but Moon’s four-forfour free-throws in the final minute was enough to hold the Romeoville win. Moon going off is nothing new, as he has been one of two perimeter shooters that have found ways to have big games for Romeoville, with the other being senior Rashad Steele. “Jimmy and Rashad have been giving us that the last five or six games, but it seems like it is one or the other,” Bambule said.“If we can get them both going the same day, we can be dangerous.” The way the SPC is shaking out, the Spartans may only need one of the two to be hot on a given night to claw their way back into the conference race.

only Oswego has shown the ability to run away from other teams, leaving the rest all seemingly battling for second place. “Oswego is obviously the class of the conference, but after that, you have a lot of good teams with good coaches,” Bambule said. “After the way we played in the tournament, I am pretty optimistic with the way we can play in the second half of the season.” The Spartans next play Jan. 11 against Plainfield South and then on Jan. 18 against Plainfield East, giving them time to get better before hitting a stretch of playing every Tuesday and Friday for three weeks straight. “We have a stretch where we play three Fridays and that will give us time to get better with practice during the week, so we have opportunities to get better,” Bambule said. “We just have to keep doing that. Are we better now than we were in November? Are we better now than we were Dec. 1? I think we are. We just have to continue.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

LOCALS Continued from page 13 FSU players started pushing and shoving and it was Romeoville’s Perez Ford who jumped in and stood up for his teammates, and drew a 15-personal foul on Florida State. “We went into the game thinking they were another NCAA football program. We didn’t care who came from there or who was playing there right now,” Ford said.“We did like we always did because nobody picked us a lot this year. They picked us to lose to Toledo, they picked us to lose to Kent State, so picking us to lost to Florida

State was no different.” Bolingbrook native and former Plainfield North standout Dominique Ware also said there was no intimidation. “We saw them as a regular team,” Ware said. “Nothing shocked us to the point where it impacted our game. We have played good teams. We played on a big stage when we played Iowa at Soldier Field. We have played teams with star guys, they just had more. We had a good game plan, but that logo didn’t affect us.” He did say, however, that while in high school he never expected to be in the Orange Bowl. “I never saw this coming,” he said.“It was fun to represent our respective towns, the outcome

wasn’t what we wanted, but it was a lot of fun.” Ware will return next year for his fifth year, as he comes back as a red shirt senior. This season, Ware had 29 total tackles, 20 of them solo. He also posted three pass break ups and three pass deflections. Also returning will be Ford and fellow Spartan Cameron Stingily. He will be a red shirt junior next season and will be returning to running back after being recruited as a linebacker. He had one carry this season for five yards. “Now that I learned the position, now I have to execute,” he said. “Hopefully, I will find a solid place to play, but I will do whatever I need to help the team

win. It has been a blast.” While Stingily moved from defense to offense, Ford will move from running back to defensive end. “I am cool with the move,” Ford said. “The coaches like my aggression, my strength and my speed.” On special teams this year, Ford had six total tackles, including one for loss. One of the coaches on special teams for NIU also has local ties, but will not return next season. Former University of St. Francis head coach Mike Uremovich coached in the Orange Bowl, but now will join departing NIU head coach Dave Doren at North Carolina State. Uremovich will be the

offensive line coach for the Wolfpack. Uremovich had a seven-year tenure as head coach of the Saints. In 2011, he led them to their most successful season in school history, as USF won a school-record 10 games and claimed their first win over an NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) team when they defeated Georgia State. The Saints advanced to the NAIA Playoffs for the first time in 24 years and captured their first playoff victory. Under Uremovich , USF posted seven-win seasons in 2008 and 2010. He posted a 33-45 overall record, but was 27-19 over his last four seasons.

The Lady Miners extended that run into the second half with their lead buoying at six three different times before Sam Rinehart (Marion, Iowa/Marion)

hit the Flyers first field goal of the half at 14:25. Rinehart finished the game with 11 points, eight rebounds and two steals.The Flyers regained the lead on six straight points on a basket from Grayer and two from Henley. Labrenthia Murdock (Round Lake, Ill./Round Lake) added two free throws to push the Flyers lead to four points, 48-

44 at the 10:32 mark. Murdock had a career-high four blocks against the Lady Miners, moving to eighth in program history with 74 career blocks. She added 13 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals for the Flyers. The squads kept the pressure up late in the game, exchanging five ties before Missouri S&T

was able to take and hold on to a seven-point lead for the conference victory, 69-62. Kylie Cooper and Toni Knar, who each scored 15 points in the contest, led the Lady Miners. Cooper also added nine rebounds and four blocked shots. “This is one of those games we can learn from, adjust and get better,” Carlsen said.

Benet edges Notre Dame by one By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

In a game that was destined for a great finish after a 60-59 double overtime win last year for Benet, the Redwings rallied past Notre Dame 42-41 Friday, Jan. 4 in Niles. The Redwings (15-3 overall, 1-0 in East Suburban Catholic Conference) trailed 27-17 at the half and a Dons basket by Duante Stephens to open the second half made it 29-17. But then the Benet duo of Sean O’Mara and Pat McInerney took over, scoring 19 second half points. “I thought we did a good job of establishing Sean in the second half,”Benet coach Gene Heidkamp said.“We were much more poised with the ball. I thought we played much stronger in the second half.” There was never a big run to get back in the game as the Redwings slowly chipped away with a strong defense and a distinct size advantage. “They were hitting some shots in the first half and we just stepped up that much more in the second half,” O’Mara said. “We put more pressure on them and made it tougher to get good shots. We took them out of their sets really well.” “We played much better defense in the second half,” Heidkamp said.“We knew we were going to half to string together stops if we were going to get back in it in the second half.They are a great team and we spotted them a 10-point lead in the second half.We had to grind our way back in the game. We held them to 14 points in the second half and we needed to hold them to every one of them.” A basket by McInerney in the last minute gave Benet its first lead since it was 6-5 in the first quarter as it led 41-40. Matt Mooney had a chance to give Notre Dame (132, 1-1) the lead back, but his shot went in and out. McInerney made one-of-two free throws to set up the exciting finish. The Dons’ Eddie Serrano was fouled with .1 seconds left and had a chance to tie the game. Benet called a timeout and Serrano followed by making the

first free throw. After another timeout, Serrano was long on the second shot, giving the Redwings the win. “Eddie is a mentally strong kid,” Mooney said. “But it isn’t Eddie’s fault we lost, it’s all of ours. It didn’t come down to that play. It was the whole second half.” “With only eight conference games, you can’t afford to make any mistakes,” Notre Dame coach Tom Les stated. “Losing today on our court is a mistake. Every time we play them comes down to the end. They are well coached and that is a good team. It is a fun game.” Notre Dame built its lead in the first half with strong shooting by Mooney with 11 first half points and physical defense on O’Mara. “We know how everyone is going to play in this league,” O’Mara said. “They are all going to want to play football with me. It’s a battle of wills every time in the paint.We just have to execute our plays and be consistent. We just had to keep pounding it and they get tired.” “Matt Mooney made a couple shots in the first half and that opened it up for us,” Les said.“We were able to get to the rim. We didn’t make any outside shots (in the second half) and they packed it in. As big as they are, that is heavy duty in there.” O’Mara’s size (6-foot-9-inches, 240 pounds) took over in the second half. “We don’t have as much size as they do,” Les said. “We had to pressure them on the perimeter as much as possible and make the passes into him as difficult as possible. We did a good job of it in the first half. In the second half they got it to him a lot easier. He’s a pretty good player. He’s unselfish and when he’s doubled he kicks it out to the open player. I thought they did a better job driving the ball and drew the fouls. I don’t know the free throw totals, but they made a lot of them in the second half.” O’Mara finished with 16 points, while McInerney had 11 for Benet. Mooney led the Dons with 14. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Tips to lose weight and keep it off (StatePoint) In the midst of an obesity epidemic, it’s easy to ignore that little bit of extra weight you may be carrying around. But experts warn that any amount of excess fat tissue around the middle can boost your risk for serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes and more. And unfortunately, there are no really easy solutions when it comes to sustained weight loss. “Fad diets promising a quick fix may help you drop weight quickly, but these programs can do more harm than good,” says Dr. Jen Sacheck, Associate Professor of Nutrition at Tufts University and co-author of the new book, “Thinner this Year: A Diet and Exercise Program for Living Strong, Fit, and Sexy.” Sacheck, along with motivational speaker and coauthor Chris Crowley, explain in plain English the science of what goes on inside your body -- both when you’re taking care

of yourself and when you’re not. They’re urging those two-thirds of Americans that are overweight or obese to stop searching for magic weight loss solutions. “Preaching a commitment to proper nutrition and regular

exercise may not win us any popularity contests,” quips Crowley, “but at the end of the day, hard work is the only healthful way to lose weight and keep it off for good.” Not only that, eating right and

getting exercise can boost your mood, make you feel younger, and give you an overall better outlook on life. Whether you’re looking to drop those extra pounds, or maintain a healthy weight as you age, keep these guidelines in mind: • Avoidance of entire food groups or excessive consumption of others isn’t healthy, realistic or sustainable.Why? Carbohydrates, fats and proteins play necessary and unique functions within our bodies and supply different nutrients crucial for health. • Ditch wasteful calories that come from foods that are nutritionally void -- think processed and overly packaged foods, refined, flour products, all things fried or covered in creamy goop, sports drinks and other beverages with added sugar. Bottom line: eat real food. • About half of your diet should be fruits and vegetables. Enjoy healthy fats in moderation and avoid saturated and trans fat.

When eating meat, make it lean. • Don’t starve!You need energy to go about your day, especially if you’re physically active. Skipping meals can actually lower your metabolism, making it harder to burn calories and lose weight. • Be prepared to commit to regular aerobic exercise and resistance training. There are no shortcuts. Exercise for forty-five to sixty minutes a day, six days a week, for the rest of your life. • Stay connected with friends and family. “We are built to care deeply about one another. Get isolated and you will literally get sick,” says Crowley. Friends can also offer the best support when it comes to achieving your goals. For more information, or to connect with others, visit www. ThinnerThisYear.com. The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll see positive change. But remember; when it comes to sustainable weight loss, there are no miracles.

‘Amish Mafia’ puts the acting in re-enacting By Brian Lowry Variety

Without sounding existential about it, when does re-enacting become, in fact, acting? The question isn’t just theoretical or academic but actually quite pragmatic given the growth of what networks have come to call “structured reality,” conceding (albeit somewhat vaguely) that meticulous shaping goes into assembling unscripted programs. Several networks have become increasingly overt and unabashed about these practices, which are as old as “The Hills.” Ratings suggest viewers don’t seriously mind. Nevertheless, the proliferation of such fare has led to a spreading gray area between fact and fiction.As evidence, consider the extraordinary disclaimer affixed to the Discovery series “Amish Mafia,” which states the show contains dramatic re-enactments “based on eyewitness accounts, testimonials and the legend of the Amish Mafia.” Remember “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” and the line about separating truth from legend in the Old West? In realityTV’s untamed frontier, amend it as follows: “When the legend didn’t conveniently happen in front of a camera crew, reenact the legend.” All of this would seem to have potential implications for SAG-AFTRA, the union representing performers. The Writers Guild of America, for its part, made a push to organize producers and editors who provide what are tantamount to writing functions on reality shows. As the guild noted, while this offered benefits to underappreciated workers,

organizing reality TV maestros “is in the guild’s self-interest as well. ... Clearly our position at the bargaining table is weakened to the extent that such a significant component of TV programming is not represented by us.” Granted, those efforts didn’t exactly sweep the industry. For SAG-AFTRA, navigating these waters is perhaps even murkier - complicated by the fact that a lot of these programs cast people “playing” themselves, replicating events in which they participated. But think about it: Audie Murphy, a decorated WWII hero, starred in the film version of his autobiography “To Hell and Back,” just as Muhammad Ali and Evel Knievel headlined their own biopics. Nobody would confuse them with Laurence Olivier, but neither could anyone argue they weren’t acting simply because they’d lived through it before, only with real ammunition, punches and jumps. The exec producer for Discovery on “Amish Mafia,” Dolores Gavin, said the network felt it was being responsible in identifying the reliance on reenactments necessitated by dealing with the camera-shy Amish community entails but added, “I would in no way say that this is a scripted show.” Still, she acknowledged not all re-creations are “with the actual individuals” who took part in the original encounters. In other words, the featured characters shot scenes with other people pretending to be someone they’re not. Not to be a stickler, but that sure sounds like acting. This isn’t meant to pick on Discovery.Asked last spring about pervasive staging within TruTV shows, the network responded that its series “feature real people

and are based on real situations. Due to production needs, some scenes are reenacted.” Such a policy creates extensive latitude and cover to mold events, just as the fine print on Showtime’s “Gigolos” reveals nobody was actually paid to have sex, which introduces a second meaning to the notion of “performing.” As always, addressing unscripted TV’s business realities ultimately boils down to money. These shows have prospered because they’re relatively inexpensive to produce, and efforts to recognize the “stars” as actors - or those guiding them (dare one say “directing?”) through reenactments - opens a can of worms and would add to the costs. There’s also the little matter of snobbery and whether trained actors truly want to embrace these amateurs as fellow performers. Still, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has already allowed reality hosts to occupy a prominent seat at its annual prom. Can an Emmy for outstanding performance in a reality show be far behind? According to Gavin, Discovery did whenever possible endeavor to re-enact sequences in “Amish Mafia” involving weapons as a matter of safety, so on the plus side, the network can freely use a disclaimer saying no Amish were harmed in the making of the program. As for the damage done to the general definition of “reality,” that, alas, may be a different story. (c) 2013 REED BUSINESS INFORMATION, A DIVISION OF REED ELSEVIER INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Real Estate & Business

Being better safe than sorry Dear Dave, My wife and I are 70, and we have $950,000 in annuities in the market, plus $68,000 in our emergency fund. The only debt we have is our mortgage. I’m considering converting our stocks to a money market account to lower the risk. What do you think? Howard Dear Howard, There are two sides to this.One is the asset allocation method, where as you grow older you move away from equities like mutual funds toward safer, more conservative investments like money markets, bonds and certificates of deposit. This is standard financial planning theory. I disagree with that theory, and here’s why. Statistics show that if you make it to 72 years

of age and are in good health, you have a high probability of living into your nineties. If you’re making around one percent on your money market and inflation is four to five percent, then your money isn’t going to be worth a lot. You need to outpace inflation, at least with your investments, in order to break even. You might move some cash over to money markets and CDs for your own peace of mind, but I’d also recommend growth and income mutual funds along with some balanced funds. You want the entire group to be hitting the four to five percent range over the next several

years, so you can at least keep up with the rising costs of gas and bread. In my mind, you’re avoiding one type of risk by moving everything to money markets, but you’re taking on a different kind of risk—the chance you’ll get tackled from behind by inflation. My advice is to balance things out so you can sleep better at night, but at a pace where you and your money stay ahead of the curve! —Dave

Is this an emergency? Dear Dave, My wife just had our first child. As a result, we now have $2,500 in medical bills not covered by insurance. We’ve got $7,000 in our emergency fund, and I make about $25,000 a year. Should we dip into our savings for this or

set up a payment plan with the hospital? Matthew Dear Matthew, Congratulations on your new baby! I know this is going to make the new year extra-special for you. If I were in your situation, I’d write a check today and knock out that hospital bill. This definitely falls under the heading of “emergency” in my mind, so pay the bill and jump back into rebuilding your emergency fund. You’ve done a good job of saving on $25,000 a year, but let’s look around and see what you can do about making more money, too.Additional classroom education or extra training in your field could increase your income pretty quickly. Your emergency fund probably needs

to be a little bit bigger as well, and it’ll be a lot easier to make this happen if you’re bringing in more cash. I’m sure you’re a hard-working guy, but the truth is it’s going to be pretty tough for even a small family to make it on what you’re bringing home now. Life happens, and the unexpected can become a common occurrence when there’s a little one loose in the house! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

The advantages of being low maintenance Q.I have tried to use advice you give in this column to help me get more help at work. However, I keep getting feedback that I’m high maintenance. In every job I’ve had, people seem to like me at first. Then they start avoiding me. I make sure I give everyone a lot of information to be helpful. What am I doing wrong? A. What you are doing is putting people in a position where they anticipate being overwhelmed by information to give you what you want. When people meet us, they quickly assess which of two categories we fall into: Low maintenance: We are concise, clear about outcomes, patient, act in ways that don’t ramp up others’ anxiety, behave calmly, and are predictable. High maintenance: We ramble, provide way too much information, talk in abstract and vague ways about outcomes, are impatient, make others anxious, seem agitated, and are unpredictable. Once coworkers have decided we are high maintenance, they will attempt to limit exposure to us. Remember that most people

are already overwhelmed at work. If they believe we will overwhelm them even more, they’ll go to great lengths to avoid us. Next time you have an interaction with someone at work, ask yourself if you are behaving in a low maintenance or high maintenance manner. If you see you are acting in high maintenance ways, realize you simply have a set of interpersonal bad habits you can change. Seeing the truth about how we operate can liberate us, but in the short run it generally makes us feel offended.Attempt to keep in mind that seeing you need to change your patterns with other people isn’t a comment on your self-worth or value of your soul. The price of effective behavior at work is that we have to remember that we can be our own worst enemy. None of us plans to shoot himself in the

foot, but most of us have some automatic interpersonal habits that are less than charming to other people. The good news is that being able to tolerate our imperfections means we can fix them. Yes, you can stop waiting for other people to shape up and get a better workplace tomorrow because you changed what you were doing. You may even start to look at coworkers who constantly complain about their circumstances and think to yourself,“Wow, if they could just see themselves objectively they would understand why people don’t do what they want.” If you develop just one skill in 2013, make it the ability to tolerate seeing what you do that gets you into trouble. The more responsibility you take for your well-being at work, the more control you’ll have. My clients often tell me they are amazed that their customers haven’t changed, their boss hasn’t changed, and their coworkers haven’t changed but by changing themselves everyone else seems to be acting so much better. Guess who had

the real power all along?

The last word(s) Q. I work with a guy who is underhanded, arrogant and openly rude. My friends tell me I should just give it right back to him. Would that work? A. No. It has been wisely observed that you should never wrestle with a pig (in or out of the workplace). You’ll both get dirty and the pig will have a good time.
