Chamber recognizes local businesses Dedication to community at heart of winners By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
Recognizing businesses both large and small, the Romeoville Chamber of Commerce not only announced its annual awards but also gave a glimpse at what garners success throughout town, where community matters. Chosen for his dedication to the community, Paul Heatherington of At’s A Nice Pizza, took home the Small Business of the Year award. “Paul opened his doors back in 1988 and has been a vital part of the Village of Romeoville ever since,” said Mari Edmondson, Executive Director of the Chamber. “In 2001, when Paul expanded opening his party room, it quickly became the place to go. From hosting wedding rehearsal dinners to baby showers to birthday parties and chamber luncheons. Paul opens his door to anyone and says no to no one, which has been wonderful for the chamber … I am not sure there is an organization or fundraiser that Paul has turned down.” The Medium Business of the Year award goes to a business whose mission statement reads: “To create great times for each
guest with exceptional service on and off the lanes.” “Brunswick Zone takes pride in serving their community,” said Edmondson, acknowledging their efforts to support various organizations like Bowl for Freedom, American Legion, the Veterans Administration and many others. Uniting families within communities to resources, services and education that will provide a positive impact to their daily lives, that is the mission statement of Power Connection… this is basically what Georgia does on a daily basis.”
- Mari Edmondson, Executive Director of the Chamber
“Over the past years, they have partnered with numerous non-profit organizations to build fundraising programs that exceed their goals. Brunswick Zone has donated hundreds of gift certificates to local businesses for use in raffles and auctions,” said Edmondson. “I
can attest to that, since any time I ask, they graciously give. Not only do they donate, they give their time. Whenever I am in need of a volunteer, I know that I can always count on someone from Brunswick Zone being there.” Advantage Chevrolet of Bolingbrook and Jim Galbraith won the Large Business of the Year award. Last fall, Advantage Chevrolet raised $1,300 for the March of Dimes, continually works with DuCap to help support local Romeoville families and sponsored the Fill The Van event to provide these local families with household items and gifts A citizens group defined as one that offers a helping hand to the community to improve the quality of life in Romeoville, CPAAR (Citizens Police Academy Alumni of Romeoville) won the Non-Profit award. Founded in 1997, CPAAR currently has 37 members who assist the Romeoville Police Department and other various organizations in the Village. “From hosting an Easter Egg hunt for the Fire Department to roadside safety checks, they have participated in the Memorial Day wreath ceremony along with the Founders Day Parade and a Veterans Day ceremony, “said Edmondson. “Each year, you will find them at RomeoFest

and doing fundraisers at local businesses such as Culvers, Windy City Grill and At’s A Nice Pizza. “This year at Christmas time, CPAAR presented a local family in need with food, gifts, clothing and a $500 gift card. But most importantly, without the help of Ed Seidel and all the other members of CPAAR, the HalloweenFest put on by the Chamber, would not have been as successful as it was.” With a mile-long list of her dedication to various organizations, Georgia Gilligan was named Volunteer of the Year award. “Uniting families within communities to resources, services and education that will provide a positive impact to their daily lives, that is the
mission statement of Power Connection…this is basically what Georgia does on a daily basis,” said Edmondson. “She serves on the Kiwanis of Bolingbrook/Romeoville as vice president along with Highpoint Underground project in Romeoville, as an Advisor for the Builders Club for Jane Addams Middle School and is on the board for Take Back the Night of Northern Will County. “Georgia is also co-chair for the Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Committee along with many more… Simply put, if you need anything, she is there. I would like to quote one of your fellow chamber members: ‘Georgia deserves to win because her heart is for the community and its youth.’”

Officials try to get ahead of curve on I-55 bridge Last year’s construction was the scene of many accidents, as drivers failed to slow down in time or tried to maneuver around traffic By Nick Reiher Managing Editor
Three people died in connection with construction on the Des Plaines River Bridge on Interstate 55 last year, and state and local officials want to do everything they can to make sure that doesn’t happen again when construction resumes in the spring. The Illinois Department of Transportation last year closed the southbound lanes of the bridge through November as they rebuilt that part of the span. The closure and moving the southbound lanes caused mileslong backups in both directions. The northbound lanes are next this spring and summer. Last year’s construction was the scene of many accidents, as drivers failed to slow down

IDOT officials said construction on the northbound lane should begin around April 1, depending on the weather.
in time or tried to maneuver around traffic. The Channahon Fire Protection District handled 22 calls between May 1 and Nov. 23, during which 74 people were treated. Channahon Fire Chief John Petrakis told a blue ribbon committee Jan. 23 that most of the calls they had involved
people from out of the area.The committee, led by state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, met the first time in November to try to find out ways to reduce accidents. Walsh said one of his constituents suggested putting an empty state police car out ahead of construction to slow people down. But state police officials at the Jan. 23 meeting said such “drone cars” generally are ineffective, and, due to drunk drivers slamming into their vehicles, they really don’t have any to spare. But panel member Michael Wiater of IDOT said they are confident a new Intelligent Transportation System plan will help. That system will be able to detect backups immediately and let drivers know via electronic signs to slow down, take caution or take an alternative route due to an accident or lengthy backup. IDOT officials said they had many signs out last year, which
some drivers either ignored or did not realize that construction was as intensive as it was. Some drivers, including truck drivers, tried to avoid some of the traffic backups by taking frontage roads instead. But even though some frontage roads are near homes and on bus routes, IDOT officials said there is really no way to regulate the traffic on those roads with speed limits or “local traffic only” designations. IDOT officials said construction on the northbound lane should begin around April 1, depending on the weather. They hope to have the word out to local drivers, as well as those in other states, making sure they are aware of the construction and any alternative routes. Petrakis said the public will have to be partners on all this. He said they can put up all the signs and use the latest technology, but basically it comes down to slowing down and paying attention.

Who is Robert, why are we torturing him? Mr. Robert and his Rules have been getting stretched lately at the Will County Board meetings I was at a meeting the other day, and our general rowdiness was tempered for a spell when someone said, “Hey, we need to pay attention to Robert’s Rules of Order.” To which, and this was how that particular meeting was going, someone retorted: “Who is this guy Robert, and why do we have to listen to him?” So, I headed to the electronic apple of Gore’s eye and found this on the official Robert’s Rules of Order website. (Yes, there is one): “Henry Martyn Robert was an engineering officer in the regular Army. Without warning he was asked to preside over a public meeting being held in a church in his community and realized that he did not know how. He tried anyway and his embarrassment was supreme. This event, which may seem familiar to many readers, left him determined never to attend another meeting until he knew something of parliamentary law. “Ultimately, he discovered and studied the few books then available on the subject. From time to time, due to his military duties, he was transferred to various parts of the United States, where he found virtual parliamentary anarchy, since each member from a different part of the country had differing ideas of correct procedure. To bring order out of chaos, he decided to write Robert’s Rules of Order, as it came to be called …”
So, since 1876, civilized society has had a manner in which to conduct an orderly meeting. I think it’s hilarious the famous Rules started as the result of a meeting gone bad in a church. I have been a part of a few church meeting where Robert’s Rules, as well as a few commandments, so, since 1876, civiliZed socieTy has had a manner in which To conducT an orderly meeTing. i Think iT’s hilarious The famous rules sTarTed as The resulT of a meeTing gone bad in a church. were stretched to the limit. Mr. Robert and his Rules have been getting stretched lately at the Will County Board meetings as well. The first time wasn’t too confusing. Board Member Judy Ogalla of Monee noticed the board’s legislative agenda came to the full board without language sufficient to protect landowners in the path of the Illiana project. Distressing as it might have been to some of those who saw the item come out of committee following a lot of discussion, what Ogalla wanted was a minor tweak, especially to the fracas at the Jan. 16 County Board meeting. After at least one false start, the much-debated revisions to the
county’s Open Burning Ordinance came to the floor. To make a long story short, there were a couple of amendments offered on the floor that aimed to help, but – even with Robert’s Rules -- wound up confusing just about everyone, including County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots, who has to make sure this stuff makes sense before she records it for posterity … and enforcement. As it turned out, the burning ordinance submitted to the floor had major problems and needed to be revised. At least one person familiar with the ordinance and its incarnations during the past seven months said what was initially presented on the floor wasn’t what came out of committee. During my nearly 30 years covering events in Will County – including several years of County Board fun after the Executive system was adopted – please allow me to offer a suggestion when something comes to the full board that needs work: Succinctly mention the concerns you have, and then, using Robert’s Rules of Order, make a motion to send it back to committee for further work. Of course, the board members, whether they are committee members or not, need to attend those committee meetings then to make sure the concerns are addressed. Making major changes on the floor during a County Board meeting is like replacing a jet’s engine while it’s in flight.

>> building, from page 1 The change allows for the current Aryzta (Great Kitchens) facility at 300 Innovation Drive to expand with a future building that will help alleviate its severe overcrowding. The Village Board recently approved concept plans for a number of properties, including the nearly 34-acre Filotto farm. The property includes a house
and barn, located along Airport Road and Southcreek Parkway, and will be annexed to the village with its zoning changed to planned business. The change allows for the current Aryzta (Great Kitchens) facility at 300 Innovation Drive to expand with a future building that will help alleviate its severe overcrowding. “We were here before you nearly six years ago, and what we
News had hoped would happen, has happened. We have grown and now want to consolidate all our business here,” said Wendy Berger Shapiro, representative for Great Kitchens, which makes frozen pizzas distributed to Wal-Mart. The new building would be 229,870 square feet and would include office and freezer space. Plans show an elevated conveyor connecting the old building with the new building and allow product to be transferred without having to be moved by truck. “We are very excited to see this company’s growth trend, and we are very fortunate to have them,” said Mayor John Noak. “They are spilling out of their space and continue to expand in our community. I would love to continue to have this problem.” The site plan shows two future buildings, but there are no tenants as of yet, and their construction will be in later phases of the project. In addition, a future Pinnacle Drive extension will pass through this property and this connection will be the responsibility of the developer. On the other side of town in the Marquette Business Park at 1350 Lakeside Drive, near Fire Station 2, plans show for Duke Realty to redevelop a vacant property and build a new approximate 314,000- square-foot speculative warehouse building. “It is nice to see another spec building especially with its unique value to this site and appreciate their willingness to
help our community,” said Noak. “The I-55 corridor is prime, and absorption is good. It is nice to have the product for when the deals are ready.” Representatives from Duke Realty explained the company has had much success in Romeoville and found an opportunity to redevelop property that will “It is nice to see another spec building especially with its unique value to this site and appreciate their willingness to help our community.” - Mayor John Noak
inevitably sell. Duke Realty has acquired the Panduit building, which is now vacant. The existing building and parking lot will be demolished as part of the proposed site improvements and construction for the new spec building will begin in the spring. Further redevelopment comes with a new manufacturing company of an existing industrial building located at 1300 Naperville Drive. A family-owned business previously located in Chicago, the Magid Glove and Safety Manufacturing Company will be moving its entire operation to Romeoville. “We are knocking down old buildings and rebuilding— these are the examples of how
aggressive we are at getting things done,” said Trustee Joe Chavez. “I think that this is awesome.” Trustee Linda Palmiter agreed. “Very important things are happening in our community, and it goes to show you what this community does,” said Palmiter. We are building and repurposing areas, which is beneficial to all of us.” Magid intends to acquire the 700,000 square-foot property, rehab and reuse the building as a manufacturing and distribution facility for more than 400,000 pieces of personal protective equipment. “We like to see family businesses. It is a great operation, and they are making a huge investment in our community,” said Noak. In order to make the project economically feasible, the village entered into an incentive agreement with Magid, rebating a portion of its sales tax. For the first 13 years, which is the number of years it will be part of a TIF district, 75 percent of the sales tax will be rebated back to Magid. After that term, sales tax will be split 50/50. “I believe in incentives.Twentyfive percent of something is always better than 100 percent of nothing—this is additional revenue,” said Trustee Sue Miklevitz. “I hear people from other towns, say, ‘Wow, look at the business in Romeoville.’ What we do different is that we offer those incentives. Success builds success.”

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and push a little harder to get the information you need. Being assertive will be to your benefit, so don’t hold back in the week to come. Think out loud to overcome the past and prepare for the future.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. You could be in for an unwanted confrontation in the week ahead if you forget to keep your guard in place. Cling to those who’ve proven to be trustworthy and reliable.
Talk may be cheap, but it can be a great bargain. Rather than shoving more irons into the fire this week, spend time with friends and loved ones. You may discover the solution to a problem that has eluded your grasp.
Everything is going to click into place, especially a romantic relationship. Don’t be afraid to help others in the week ahead; you’re at the top of your game and can afford generosity even though you count your personal pennies.
Don’t hang back. You might usually bite your tongue before offering criticism or suggestions, but it might be that someone is simply unaware of a problem and needs your input. This is a week when you can earn appreciation from others.
Behaving like a paragon of virtue is not passe. It isn’t necessary to lord it over your friends that you’re economical and thrifty, but you can still take pride in your ability to handle money sensibly. Remain within the limits in the week ahead.
Tackle the week ahead with gusto and you’ll find a pleasant surprise awaiting you. This is a good time to seek comfort among friends who will surely enjoy your company. Penny-pinching ways can rub some people the wrong way.
Accentuate the positive in the week ahead. The most compelling pressure you’re under is that of your own making. Hook up with a calm, serene, sensible person who will make you forget about your minor deficits.
Learn to walk before you run. Be penny wise, not pound foolish. Someone may seem manipulative and urge you to go ahead with a financial venture in the week ahead. Take things one step at a time to achieve something worthwhile.
Don’t mix business with pleasure in the week ahead. You’re much too passionate about winning and having the best of everything to risk it all by flirting with a business contact.
Pour out your heart. Honest discussions with a trusted friend or advisor will build up your confidence so you can decide what’s truly for the best. Taking the least logical path may offer a solution this week.
Maintain momentum without losing sight of the need to make memories. Remember to schedule time for recreation and relaxation during the week to come. Dinner, a movie, and time with a friend may be just what the doctor ordered.

Vostry heads to state tournament By Scott Taylor Sports Editor
The Spartans had a goal of making it to state for the third time in four years when they arrived at the Andrew Sectional Saturday at Orland Bowl. However, they came up two positions short, finishing eighth with a six-game total of 6,131. The good news is Romeoville will be represented at state this year by senior Dakota Vostry, who finished fourth overall with a 1,372 six-game total. Minooka’s Zach Segatto won the individual title with a 1,503 total, which included a 300 game. “It’s going to be fun down there,” Vostry said of going to state at St. Clair Bowl in O’Fallon. “I missed it last year and I can’t wait for next week. I will miss the team, I had four good years with them.” Vostry and the team were both on the outside looking in the final two games. That is when Vostry came up bug with games of 255 and 257 to qualify for state. “I knew I needed it,” Vostry said. “As a team I knew we needed two big games, too. I
stayed within myself and didn’t get too wild and stayed calm. I threw good shots all day. “The fourth game I threw two bad shots and got two splits. That’s kind of what messed me up. I think I missed a spare there, too. I couldn’t carry the first four games today.” As a freshman, Vostry shot a 2,327 over 12 games, while he finished 31st as a sophomore with a 2,503. He hopes this time at state he can take things to the next level. “I’m going to try to win that singles title,” Vostry said. “I’ve been dreaming about it since I threw my first ball as a high school bowler. I can’t wait to get down there and I can’t wait to bowl. I have to stay within myself, make spares and throw good shots.”

Spartans fall to Wildcats in SPC play By Scott Taylor Sports Editor
Romeoville and Plainfield Central were anxious to get back on the court Friday night after both teams lost their previous game to district rivals by more than 30 points each. The energy level showed the pride both teams had in bouncing back, but it was the host Wildcats who came away victorious, 71-59. “We’re trying to teach the kids it is about how we finish,” Romeoville coach Marc Howard said. “We want to close out the season and not give up. We want to take every game one step at a time and try to get some magic at the end of the year. We want to see the guys go out with a good feeling. They have put in a lot of hard work.” The two teams went back and forth throughout the first half. Both teams were able to score inside as Romeoville’s Josh Krueger scored nine points in the first half and Central’s Logan Velasquez had 15. “It’s been a rough couple weeks so I had to come out and be aggressive,” Velasquez said. “They didn’t have much inside presence, so we had to take advantage of that.” “It got hard for him late,” Howard said of Krueger. “He wasn’t getting the calls down there. It kind of took that away. But he scored a quick (9) points to start the game. He did what we asked him to do and the guys did a good job of feeding it down to him. We would have liked to have more of that in the second half.” With the Wildcats leading 26-21 midway through the second quarter, Romeoville’s Travis Lacey hit three-pointers on three straight possessions to >> see SPARTANS | page 13

Matt Cappelletti and the Spartans fell to Plainfield Central in SPC action.
Sports >> SPARTANS, from page 12 give the Spartans a 30-26 lead. The two teams went into the half tied 32-32. Central had the lead throughout the third quarter and it was 45-39 after three as Velasquez beat the buzzer with a three. The Wildcats were able to open the game up and put the game away in the fourth, despite three more second half threes from Lacey. “I thought we played hard, but we just couldn’t keep the tempo,” Howard said. “We wanted to play up-tempo. We are a little bit quicker than them and can go off the dribble a little bit better, but we couldn’t keep up the pace.” A big key to the Wildcats pulling away was the offensive rebounding. They have five fourth quarter offensive rebounds that led to baskets, one being a three-pointer. For the game the Wildcats outrebounded the Spartans 36-
24 and held a 21-9 advantage on the glass in the second half. “The first half we probably only had one or two (second chance baskets),” Velasquez said. “Coach emphasized that we had to get on that.” Velasquez led four Wildcats in double figures with 21 points on 7-of-9 shooting, to go along with 11 rebounds. Robbie Brooks added 14 points, Windt had 11 and Johnny Kostelz had 10. Brad Hund pulled down eight rebounds. “Logan really hurt us,” Howard said.“He’s a strong kid and he is hard to defend with one player, especially us, we are a little undersized. We tried to put our big guy on him, but (Logan) was a little too quick for him).” Romeoville was paced by Lacey’s 18 points (6-of-10 from beyond the arc) and Krueger chipped in 13 points and seven rebounds. “He is a good shooter,”Howard said of Lacey. “When he gets it going, he is streaky. When he gets in a groove he is hard to
guard. We’re glad to have him back. He’s been unable to play due to some injuries. We need that scoring.” The Wildcats shot 52 percent from the floor and 68 percent from the foul line, while the Spartans were 41 percent from the floor and 55 percent from the line. “We didn’t make free throws and they made theirs,” Howard stated. “We turned the ball over a little bit more in the second half. There’s a few things I wish we could’ve done differently so we could’ve gotten a better result than we did today.”

Lewis upsets a pair of top-10 ranked teams The No. 19 Lewis University men’s basketball team scored 22 of the game’s first 24 points, as the Flyers led from start to finish in the 76-68 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over No. 7 Bellarmine at Neil Carey Arena on Jan. 25. Lewis junior guard Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./RiversideBrookfield) led all scorers with a game-high 23 points and three trifectas, followed by 19 points, six assists and six rebounds from junior point guard Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton). Flyer junior forward Julian Lewis (Flossmoor, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor) and senior guard Nick Valla (Tinley Park, Ill./Marist) each contributed 12 points apiece in the victory. Jarosz (6 points, 3 assists) and Valla (6 points, 2 three-pointers) proved to be the catalysts for the Flyers in the opening eight minutes, as they combined for 12 of the 22 points during the run. The Knights, who entered Saturday’s contest averaging 83.9 points-per-game, were held to 18 points in the first half and shot 22.2% (6-for-27) from the field, as Lewis took a 39-18 lead into halftime. With the win, Lewis improves to 15-2 on the campaign and 7-2 in conference action, while the visiting Knights drop to 13-4 overall and 5-4 in GLVC play. The
win snaps a nine-game losing streak to the Knights, dating back to January 31, 2009. Bellarmine guard Vance Hall topped the Knights with 13 points, followed by 10 points apiece from reserve forwards Donnie Hale and Josh Derksen. Bellarmine’s leading scorers Keisten Jones (16.3 ppg.) and Jake Thelen (15.6 ppg.) were held to a combined 12 points on the afternoon. With Lewis in control for the majority of the contest, Bellarmine was forced to foul in the second half. Lewis was sent to the charity stripe 34 times in the final stanza and converted 25.The Flyers went to the line so many times in the second half, they only attempted 12 field goals over the final 20 minutes. For the game, the Flyers made 73.8% (31-for-42) of their attempts and their 42 free throws were a season-high. Lewis shot 50.0% (19-for-38) from the field, while the Knights shot 38.3% (23-for-60). Bellarmine did make a late run in the second half, as they drew within four at 70-66 with 20 seconds left following a threepointer by forward George Suggs (5 points). The Flyers, however, hit all six of their free throw attempts in the waning seconds to preserve the victory.
“We were resilient, persevered and hung in there,” Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost said. “We found a way to win against a really good team and we made free throws when we needed to.” A game earlier, the Flyers beat No. 9 Southern Indiana on Jan. 23. Lewis committed a season-low two turnovers and shot 53.3% (16-for-30) in the second half on their way to the 73-63 Great Lakes Valley Conference upset victory over the visiting Screaming Eagles at Neil Carey Arena. That was the fewest miscues by a Flyer team since they had two turnovers against Bellarmine nearly 10 years ago on January 22, 2004. Lewis is one of six teams in the country that have recorded two or fewer turnovers in a game. “I thought we did a really good job of executing our offense in the second half,” Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost said. “We had good shots, made good decisions and maybe put (Southern Indiana) in positions where they weren’t as good defensively. “I’m proud of our guys,” Trost continued. “It was a heck of an effort against a really, really good team.” Junior guard Ryan Jackson had
a game-high 20 points, followed by 15 points, four rebounds and three assists by Jarosz. Lewis had 12 points, three steals and a game-high eight rebounds, while sophomore center Kyle Nelson (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) finished with 12 points on 6-for-8 shooting with six rebounds, two blocks and two steals. With the win,Lewis improves to 14-2 overall and 6-2 in conference play, while the visiting Screaming Eagles fall to 14-2 on the campaign and 6-2 in GLVC action. The victory is Lewis’ first over Southern Indiana at Neil Carey Arena in 10 years and it extends the Flyers’ streak of defeating a nationally-ranked team in each of the last four years.
USI senior forward Aaron Nelson topped the Screaming Eagles with 14 points, six rebounds and four blocks. He entered Thursday’s contest averaging 20.3 points and 14.2 rebounds-per-game. Senior guard Lawrence Thomas knocked down three treys and finshed with 13 points, while junior guard Gavin Schumann added 11 points and six rebounds in the loss. While the Flyers took care of the ball on Thursday, the Screaming Eagles did not. USI committed 14 turnovers, which led to 16 points for Lewis. The Flyers also pounded the glass, picking up 11 offensive rebounds that led to 19 second chance points.

Minooka won with a 6,510. “It means a lot,” Bolingbrook senior Gio Montecinos said. “Our goal is fulfilled. We finally got to state. This makes everything worthwhile. It finally happened.” “To be a senior, it means a
lot,” Bolingbrook’s Eric Kramer added. “It is going to be a great experience. The season is not over. It is going to be a fun time.” They were one of just three teams to break 1,000 each game. Despite the consistency, the Raiders were outside of the tip six with just two games to go before posting back-to-back 1,018 games. “We knew where we were
Sports and we knew what we had to do,” Montecinos said. “I don’t think we did as well as we wanted to, but we did what we needed to do.” “We were in eighth place and we talked with the team and everyone was getting down,” Kramer said. “We got everyone to be positive and we came back to shoot a couple 1,000s to end it.” For the second week in a row it was fellow senior Matt
Rycraft leading the way in his return from injury, finishing with a 1,355 total. “It’s all my mental game now,” Rycraft said. “My teammates were with me throughout the season after missing two months of the season. Any struggles, my teammates helped me out with that on my way back.” Kramer (1,322) and Montecinos (1,227) also bowled six games. While it was the seniors leading the way, Bolingbrook also got contributions from junior Matt Strzechowski (940 in 5 games), senior Kurt Messenger (774 in 4), freshman Steve Stropkovic (430 in 2) and freshman Cameron Zulfer (192). “I think our experience gave us the ability to help out anyone who needed it,” Rycraft said. “Without our younger guys, I don’t think we would have been here today.” Now that they are going to state, the goal for the Raiders is to make the final day, which is being in the top 12 of 24 teams.
The tournament opens Friday at St. Clair Bowl in O’Fallon and concludes Saturday. “We want to make it to the second day,” Kramer said. “You never know what could happen though, so hopefully we come out and take first. No matter how far you are out or down, you never give up.” “We want to make it to the second day,” Rycraft said. “We want to show the state what Bolingbrook has to offer. We have to bowl our hearts out, do the best we can and don’t give anything to them, make them work for it.”
GIRLS Bolingbrook finished third overall in the SWSC with 64 points after shooting a 5,075 at the tournament. Joliet West won the SWSC with 111 points and a 6,016 on the day. The Raiders were paced by Annemarie Schwahn (1,134) and Felicia Montecinos (1,101). Follow Scott @Taylor_Sports staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Hawks take fight out of Bulldogs, now 6-0 in CSL South By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter
After playing four competitive games in three days at the Galesburg Martin Luther King tourney, Maine South’s boys basketball team got a bit of an oncourt breather at home against conference opponent Waukegan last Friday. The Hawks led 14-3 after one quarter, 29-8 at intermission, and the Bulldogs didn’t break into double digits until three minutes into the third period. Maine South ended up winning 64-31; the Hawks remain undefeated in the CSL South (6-0) and are 15-5 overall. “After a long weekend, it was great to have us come out as a team and beat them like that,” said senior guard Andrew Palucki, one of three Hawks in double figures with 12 points.“Our guys off the bench are great; they were relaxed. They (Waukegan) still had their starters in and they (reserves) brought it to them so I was really happy for our guys.” Maine South started the game with a 14-0 run, capped by a free throw from junior George Sargeant (13 points). With five minutes to go in the second period, the Hawks upped their lead to 23-4 following a steal and layup by sophomore Jon Arenas, whose 15 points led the team. John Kozak’s putback at the buzzer provided Maine South with its halftime cushion. “I thought we played really well,” said Maine South coach Tony Lavorato. “I thought we rebounded well,and we really got the ball up the floor in transition. Execution is still getting better little by little, but I’m really happy with where we’re at. “Waukegan is a very athletic and well-coached team.It’s one of those (games) where I guarantee you they were off a little bit. We always talk about that you control what you can control, and I was really proud about how our kids kept playing.” Lavorato also is proud of the
way senior Sean Maloney has stepped up in place of starting point guard Caleb deMarigny, who’s been out with mono since mid-January. “He’s been doing it unbelievable job,” Lavorato said “Sean is one of those kids that’s played point guard his whole life. One of the things he’s done is that he’s played more minutes than he’s played all year so he had to get his wind and he had to slow himself down and stay out of foul trouble. Now he’s running it and you’re starting to see him get that swagger back.” Maloney, who’s started the past six games in deMaringy’s absence, said the Hawks’ condensed schedule during the MLK tourney helped him settle into the role. Although the Hawks didn’t win the tourney, they went 3-1 over a 72-hour period. “Right away there was so much going on in my head,” Maloney said. “But after the weekend when we had four games in three days, we were able to see everything that teams run against us, so now I’m calming down, I think, and I’m getting into the sets better.” deMarigny sat on the bench in street clothes last Friday. Lavorato said he may begin taking part in non-contact drills, but that’s all for now. “Mono is a liver sickness, but it also is inflammation of the spleen,” Lavorato said. “The spleen is what the big problem is. If he gets contact on the spleen when it’s swollen and it explodes, now we’ve got major surgery. Anybody with mono has to have no contact until the spleen goes back to normal; it’s usually a minimum of three weeks. “But I think when he starts feeling better, which is now, he may come back. He’s going to shoot, he’s going to do some conditioning, but not contact stuff until his spleen goes down to normal.” The Hawks hosted Highland

Don’t neglect to pay the IRS this tax season Don’t become a blip on the government’s radar screen by being late with payments Dear Dave, My husband has his own business installing windows. As a result, we now have IRS and state tax debt. We’re managing the payments, but where should these debts be placed in the debt snowball plan?

Dear Olivia, I don’t usually cheat on the smallest to largest progression of the debt snowball, but I’d recommend moving these debts to the top of the list.

Check on the checking account Dear Dave, My husband died eight years ago, and I never closed his bank accounts that were opened when we lived in another state. We lived in Florida before
moving to Oregon. I didn’t probate the estate, and he did not have a will. I’m trying to work with the banks to get this settled, but they’re giving me the runaround. Do you have any advice? Melinda Dear Melinda, The first thing you need to do is contact an attorney who handles estate planning. If the accounts were opened in Florida, but you both lived in Oregon at the time of his death, technically the estate would be probated in Oregon. That may be what has to happen. If so, a judge would appoint you as executor. As executor, you can close the accounts and disperse any money to the rightful heir— which is you. Be prepared, though. It may take somewhere between $250 and $500 in attorney fees and court costs to make this happen. If you’re lucky, you might get a simple motion from the

But find a good estate planning attorney who knows Oregon law inside and out. Estate laws and probate laws differ from state to state, and Florida and Oregon both have some weird laws in these areas. This probably seems like a lot of trouble, but you have to remember the banks are simply trying to protect themselves and follow the law. Anyone could walk in with a death certificate (they’re public record), and claim to be an heir. So, they have to have a court document in order to avoid any potential liability.
I’m sorry for your loss, Melinda. I know it still hurts after all this time, but you need to address this as soon as possible. I’m sure it’s what your husband would have wanted. —Dave

Great gifts for current and future college students Here are a few ideas to brighten the bookshelves and desks of your favorite scholars Whether the students in your life are in high school and dreaming about their future majors, or in the middle of their college careers, you can shower them with gifts that quench their thirst for knowledge and foster their academic interests. Stumped? Here are a few ideas to brighten the bookshelves and desks of your favorite scholars: make cramming easier For dorm dwellers, book lights are crucial. When roomies are snoozing, night owls can use a book light that attaches to the pages of the book, or a task light that sits atop the desk, to keep studying in an unobtrusive manner. Consider creating a care package full of snacks. But skip the junk food and instead fill
up on brain food. Nuts, almond butter and popcorn are all great choices containing brain-boosting vitamins and minerals. simplify complex concepTs A standard text book covering weighty subject matter sometimes can make things even more confusing for a student. Help demystify some of the hard-tograsp subjects with a new book series from DK Publishing, ‚Big Ideas, Simply Explained. The fullyillustrated series uses innovative graphics and creative typography to cut through the haze of misunderstanding, untangles knotty theories and sheds light on abstract concepts. There are five books currently available: The Philosophy Book, The Psychology Book, The Politics Book,The Religions Book and The Economics Book, which covers more than 100 economic concepts from Aristotle to the top economic thinkers of today, and is a 2013 Parents Choice Gold Book Award Winner. More information about these books

plans to study or is currently studying, you can round out his or her education with a great dose of classic cinema. Consider a set that features the collected works of a gifted director such as Ingmar Bergman or Akira
Kurosawa. Or opt for a topical box set on a favorite subject, such as World War II or nature. With the right tools, you can enrich and round out classroom learning in fun and interesting ways.

U.S. News & World Report ranks USF programs Highlight included USF being ranked 5th nationally in “Student Engagement Category” According to U.S. News & World Report, online learning is fast becoming an integral part of all types of education, including higher education, and consumers are hungry for information related to online degrees. That is why in addition to ranking schools as it has done for years, U.S. News is now ranking online programs. In its recently-released “Best Online Programs” listing, the University of St. Francis (USF) was once again recognized for top performance.USF’s online graduate programs in both education and business were the top among Illinois private schools ranked, and USF’s online programs in nursing were sixth among Illinois private schools ranked. While this was the second year in a row for high honors for the College of Business and Health Administration (COBHA), it was a first for USF’s College of
Education. A highlight included USF being ranked 5th nationally (of 195 schools) in the “Student Engagement Category,” which includes criteria such as national accreditation, best practices, graduation and retention rates and class size. According to the U.S. News & World Report website, “Much like in a classroom setting, quality online graduate education programs grant aspiring teachers and educational administrators opportunities to readily interact with their instructors and fellow classmates. In turn, instructors are not only accessible and responsive, but they are also tasked with helping to create an experience rewarding enough that students stay enrolled and complete their degrees in a reasonable amount of time.” Deans Chris Clott (COBHA) and John Gambro (COE) were thrilled

about the announcement. “USF was one of the earliest online educators in Illinois.We are proud of our ability to offer top notch online graduate business programs that meet the needs of busy working people in Illinois and around the country,” said Clott. Gambro added, “The College of Education’s online programs are designed to provide students with exemplary learning experiences that provide them with the knowledge and skills necessary to be outstanding educators. Courses challenge and engage the students
in the learning process and offer them an opportunity to interact with other professionals and exceptional faculty members. This ranking validates our efforts and indicates that our programs are meeting the needs of our students and the school districts in which they serve.” The primary online graduate education program at USF is the M.S. in Teaching & Learning. This degree provides the opportunity for a school district or cohort of teachers to select a concentration of courses designed to meet specific areas of interest and academic needs. The program assists teachers and administrators to address the myriad of issues and
