5 YEARS AND GOING STRONG Once a dream, hospital is now an integral part of village’s health care By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Building a hospital in Bolingbrook was once thought of as a dream. Now, touting it as an essential part of the community, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital celebrates its fifth anniversary, with village officials praising its existence. Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, 500 Remington Blvd. Bolingbrook, opened

Jan. 14, 2008. At the time, it was the first new hospital in Illinois to be built in more than 25 years. It took three years to complete construction. The all-private-bed hospital specializes in cardiac care, imaging services, pain treatment and management, surgical services and a Women’s Care Center.The 300,000 square-foot hospital includes a Level II Trauma Center and Children’s Emergency Room.

Seminar educates public on Affordable Care Act In DuPage, Plainfield and Wheatland townships, 4,894 people would be eligible for Medicaid coverage if the Illinois Legislature decides to expand the program.

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled, the presidential election is over and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is here to stay. As the country prepares for full implementation of the new health care reforms in 2014, various organizations such as the DuPage County Health Department are taking it upon themselves to educate the community about just what the new law will mean for them. That education initiative ramped up Wednesday, as area non-profits were invited to take part in a special educational seminar with policy experts in a variety of health related issues. The goal of the seminar was to underscore the central role many non-profits play as sources of community outreach and highlight ways they can connect with their clients to ensure they are enrolled in and taking full advantage of the ACA. “Not-for-profits play a whole variety of roles within the community,” said Maureen McHugh, executive director of the DuPage County Health Department. “When I look out in the audience, we have food banks, we have the People’s Resource Center -- which is food, clothing, and social services -- we have Metropolitan Family Services, which, again, is a whole range of services on the community.” McHugh said that with implementation of the ACA already under way, it is important for non-profits to recognize what effects the Act will have on their clients, many of whom are uninsured or on Medicaid. “So when we talk about care coordination, when we talk about enrollment, when we talk about the overall health of the client and linking them into services, nonfor-profits have to get involved.”

What’s the plan?

The speakers at Wednesday’s summit ranged from experts in the health care field to legal advocates who work with people in helping them access health care benefits. They included John Bouman, president of the Shriver Center, Stephanie Altman, program and policy director with Health and Disability Advocates, Stephani Becker, senior policy analyst with HAD, and Kathy Chan, associate director of the Illinois Maternal and Child Health Coalition.

Who’s covered One of the more important aspects of the ACA, according to Bouman, is that it will provide health care coverage to 36 million of the 50 million people currently uninsured in the country. “People need to realize how dysfunctional the current system is,” Bouman said. “While change is scary, the status quo is scary as well.” Census Bureau data from 200809 shows that 1.65 million of those uninsured persons live in

Illinois and 78,312 live in Will and Grundy counties. “What the Affordable Care Act does is it simplifies eligibility,” Becker said One important aspect of Jan. 23 seminar was explaining how the ACA will affect the eligibility of people who are currently uninsured and those looking to change coverage under the new plan.There will be two main ways for currently uninsured people to gain access to coverage: the health benefit exchange and Medicaid expansion. The health benefit exchange, or marketplace, has been advertised as a one-stop shop where individuals and businesses can purchase health coverage on the web. Under the exchange program, benefits must be standardized and meet minimum requirements. In addition to these requirements, the language used by providers must be standardized and easily comparable. People between 133 and 400 percent of the federal poverty line also would be eligible for

a subsidy within the exchange program. In DuPage, Plainfield and Wheatland townships, 21,575 people would be eligible for the exchange and 13,898 of those would receive a subsidy. Along with the health care exchange, Medicaid expansion will allow childless adults who are up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level access to benefits. However, this part of the ACA is no guarantee. Part of the Supreme Court’s decision last June gave states the option of whether or not to expand Medicaid. Bouman said that under the current arrangement, the federal government matches 50 percent of what a state pays into Medicaid. If Illinois were to approve Medicaid expansion, the federal government would match 100 percent of the bill for the first two years. That match would drop to 90 percent by 2020. With Illinois lawmakers currently in spring session, a decision on whether or not to expand the program should come this spring.

Becker said that it is important to note there are minimum benefits that all health plans sold through the exchange and outside of the exchange must cover. These include: ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder services, prescription drugs, rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices, laboratory services, preventative and wellness services, and pediatric services such as oral and vision care. “This is one of the largest consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act because it does set a minimum level of benefit,” Becker said. In addition to these minimum benefits, providers will no longer be able to use health status ratings or deny coverage. “It’s guaranteed issue; it cannot be denied,” said Stephanie Altman, program and policy director for HAD.“The price that you pay will only be based on age, geographic location and tobacco use, and that is outside the exchange, too.” Altman also said that preexisting conditions can no longer be held against potential purchasers, and there will be no annual or lifetime caps on insurance. Illinois has chosen the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Blue Advantage Plan as the benchmark plan for the exchange and is currently working on a Medicaid expansion benchmark. jsamples@buglenewspapers. com

Valley View evaluates schools’ safety In wake of Sandy Hook shootings, new door policies now in place

Silent alarms also will be installed that with a push of a button will alert the alarm company and dispatch police. It will also send a unique audible tone throughout the school that will indicate without a doubt that teachers should go into lockdown. A labor-intensive project, the district is making it its top priority. Locks were among 300 items examiners asked school officials about from a stateprepared list as they looked for areas of strength and weakness. All this before spending an hour walking around both the inside and the outside of the building.

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

With a click of a switch, a teacher can lock a classroom securing the door quickly from inside, a move the Valley View School District deems the simplest way to keep an intruder out. The shootings in Connecticut brought to light the simple tactic—lock your doors. It was repeated countless times by various experts on the matter. In all cases of similar violence, if a door was locked, the shooter moved onto the next one. Within days of the tragedy’s aftermath, Superintendent James Mitchem issued a mandate that all classroom doors be locked, making no apologies for it, saying it is the best case of defense and one that would be enforced. Now the school district is making good on its promise, making sure that tactic is enforced. Safety and security audits have been standard practice for the district, and in years past, the district has won accolades for its thorough approach. But in light of Sandy Hook, such audits have taken on a higher level of tenacity. The district has begun conducting what will be 22 safety and security audits, during which a team of examiners will spend several hours at each school. The safety audit is no small feat, addressing the following areas for each school: safety and security of site and the building exterior and interior; access control; type and extent of monitoring and surveillance, communication and information of security; and the development of emergency operations and plans.

Securing the doors In one of the first audits, Valley View School Safety Coordinator Leroy Brown and team studied security at Irene King Elementary School. The most vigorous item on the extensive checklist—door locks. Examiners walked through the halls and checked every door and intend to check every door in every school, numbering in the thousands. Brown said the audit is used to provide a snapshot of the school’s safety and identify areas needing of improvement. He believes the proactive process can help ensure students achieve their learning potential within a safe and secure environment. In fact, school districts across the nation are focusing on door locks. Intruder locks, such as those installed at every Valley View school, are hard to come by because of the sudden desire by school districts to

install, spending millions to do so. Intruder locks allow doors to be locked from the inside immediately in case of emergency. Exit is always possible from inside, regardless of whether the door is locked or not. This “anti-panic” feature preserves safety and security by keeping the outside lever locked if the inside lever is activated. Ahead of the curve, Valley View has had the locks in place for more than a decade. Now it is just a matter of putting their use into full practice. Director of Maintenance Mike Singleton explains his department is conducting its own audit just on locks, checking more than a thousand doors in Bolingbrook High School alone. “We will verify physically that they are functioning properly,” said Singleton. “We have had these locks in place for years, but the knowledge of their power hasn’t been relayed through the years. This is a nationally recognized system, and we’ve got the Cadillac of locks.The infrastructure is in place… Personally, it is my goal that every staff member understands. It is

shocking that so many don’t know what it can do and just how very powerful a tool they have at their disposal to protect themselves and their students.”

Buzzer system In addition, as the first point of defense, Valley View will be installing a buzzer system at the front office of each school. Entry to the school will not be allowed without being buzzed in. Currently, district policy mandates the office door to every school be locked at all times. The buzzer allows secretary to buzz someone into the first door. They can then access a potential threat. The second door that leads to the hallway and classroom area will remain locked until a buzzer is pushed. If a threat is indicated, the door will remained locked. Buzzer systems are in place at BHS, Hermansen and Pioneer elementary schools. The pilot program is working well, officials say, and the district will be bringing it up to standards and making it a model for all schools.

Other items scrutinized included: Overall building security — including exits and entrances, the school office, parking lot and playground; Overall condition of the building — the exterior, hallways, restrooms, computer lab, library media center, walls, ceilings, doors, windows, hallways, and mechanical equipment; The school’s emergency response plan — the availability of police and fire notification systems, the availability of classroom notification systems, procedures for handling telephoned threats, evacuation and parent reunification sites,media contact guidelines, and parental contact guidelines; the availability of all necessary emergency response devices including evacuation maps, fire extinguishers, automated external defibrillators, first aid kits, and emergency evacuation kits; Bus transportation procedures — including daily inspections of the vehicles and verification of driver identities and qualifications (both handled by the Valley View Transportation Department), and safety and security procedures during unloading and loading times; Parking lot procedures — including fire zones and staff monitoring during arrival and departure time; and Visitor procedures and student pickup procedures during the school day. The team of examiners will file a short report on the audit with the school administrators and check back with them in a week or so to make sure they have corrected any issues the team may have found. A more formal report of all 22 schools will be presented to the school board and ultimately it will all be submitted to the state. Such a safety and security audit is required by the state a minimum of once every three years. “We were in fine shape before the incident occurred and as we do more research through this audit we are realizing that we are in very good shape as a district as a whole,” said Singleton.

Five years separate the Joliet Curry Greene family’s first two children, Micah and Malcolm. Malcolm was the fifth baby born atAdventist Bolingbrook Hospital when it opened in 2008. His new brother, Emanuel, was born Jan. 14, on the fifth anniversary of the opening of ABH. That was a happy coincidence, though there was no doubt in the mind of either Greene or Dr. Robin Whatley that they would return to Bolingbrook for Emanuel’s birth. “I really had a good experience there with the first birth,” Greene said.“Everybody was also wonderful to us this time around. We had a very good experience.” Five years ago, Greene’s son

This equates to the time the ambulance arrives at the hospital until they are “in service” to answer the next emergency call. “ABH has done an amazing job of receiving the patients immediately and getting our paramedics their supplies so they can be ready within generally nine minutes of arriving at the hospital,” said Litton.“In addition, their Emergency Medical Services Coordinator, Laurie Carroll has helped tremendously in tthe ongoing continuing education of our paramedics.” In addition, Litton said ABH has taken an active role in ensuring the department personnel’s health by administering annual physicals to ensure everyone is fit and maintaining their health for the job. “Bolingbrook did have a dream, and their dream was to someday have a facility like this one,” Bolingbrook Deputy Mayor Leroy Brown said at a Jan. 21 reception marking the anniversary. “Once this hospital was built, we’re talking about a blessing.” State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, presented Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital Chief Executive Officer Rick Mace with a commendation honoring the anniversary. Mace accepted the commendation and said the hard work of everyone at the hospital is what has made the facility a quality institution. “At 5 years old, we’ve learned a lot, and we are going to continue to improve and grow,” Mace said. Medical Staff President Dr. Russell Petrak said that, at five years, Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital has only begun its journey. And that journey looks good on the horizon. “Being around in five years is an incredible accomplishment in health care, no matter what,”

Today, Whatley is chairwoman of the hospital’s Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. “We’re just really excited about the fifth year anniversary, and I think this is a neat little story that goes along with it,” Whatley said. “I’ve been here from the beginning, and it’s kind of nice to see how it’s grown in the last five years.” Village officials agree. Mayor Roger Claar pointed to the accomplishments of the hospital at the State of the Village address, noting its importance to the community and quipped he wouldn’t be sent anywhere else. “We have the best quality of life, because of the hospital we have right here in Bolingbrook,” Brown said.

Brooks seventh grader sings at Presidential Inauguration An exhausted Torian Williams was back at Brooks Middle School in Bolingbrook Wednesday after a whirlwind, but very memorable, trip to Washington, D.C. to sing at the Presidential Inauguration Kids Concert Saturday night. Torian performed at the Washington Convention Center along with The Soul Children of Chicago, a 40-plus member gospel youth choir with which he has been signing for the past two years. The group sang a rendition of the Beatles “Come Together” and “Lift Him Up.” “It was an unexplainable experience,” the seventh grader said.“You’re really in shock at first when you see the First Lady and the President. But you just sing and do what you have to do.” He said it was also exciting to be back stage and see Katy Perry and some members of the Glee cast who also performed. The son of Tamiko and Timothy Williams, Torian has been singing since he was 4,

well as industry changes are dramatically increasing demand for aviation maintenance professionals. Brother James Gaffney, president of Lewis University, highlighted the university’s pioneer aviation program and spoke about the advancements in the field and opportunities for education. “Aviation is a legacy program

here at Lewis University. We are continuously seeking ways to supplement classroom learning by providing our students with hands-on experience to apply what they learn in the classroom,” Gaffney said. In 2009, FedEx also donated a Pratt and Whitney JT8D-15AQM engine. The engine is still in use in the Aviation Maintenance program.

The reception also showcased recent improvements in the Aviation Building where updated furnishings have been added to labs, workshops and classrooms in an ongoing transformation of aviation facilities.

CSC helps those facing foreclosure By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

With the numbers of local residents seeking help to prevent foreclosure continually on the rise, the Community Service Council of Northern Will County is promoting awareness, urging those who need help to come forward. Bob Kalnicky, executive director of the CSC, said the number of foreclosures is on the rise, but the numbers of clients at the CSC is stagnant.The group has seen the number of foreclosure clients climb from 280 in 2009 to 632 in 2012. Yet that number is down from 698 clients in 2011. At the same time, according to RealtyTrac, 1 in every 257 housing units received a foreclosure filing in December 2012. “Our numbers are staying the same,but there is a definite increase in Will County,” said Kalnicky. “We are pushing foreclosure prevention and trying to get the word out that we are to here to help and the program is free.” Kalnicky warns those facing the problem, to be aware of scams.The CSC recently found a Joliet man to be selling his services to help individuals with filling out forms for Illinois’ Hardest Hit program, charging up to $1,500. “We do this for free—know that if you have a problem with the application, you can come to us. You do not have to pay for foreclosure prevention; it is free of charge,” said Kalnicky. The CSC is certified by HUD to provide housing counseling, primarily in the areas of mortgage default and rental evictions. A counselor can help walk a client through the process and will act on their behalf in dealing with a lender.

Of primary concern, Kalnicky said is to contact your lender at the first sign of a problem. Representatives from the CSC are on hand to help individuals do so. The CSC was founded in 1973 as a social service agency to serve residents of Bolingbrook, Romeoville and surrounding communities. CSC was incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit agency in 1978 and its main office is located in Romeoville with a satellite office for foreclosure prevention at 498 Boughton Road, Bolingbrook. In addition to offering housing assistance, services for family and marital counseling are provided by licensed professional counselors on an affordable fee schedule. The staff of 16 is experienced in a full range of counseling, such as marital,depression,divorce,parentchild relations, blended marriage concerns, and other problems at a fraction of the cost, cutting attorney’s fees, said Kalnicky. The agency offers Anger Management groups for both adults and teens and a court-approved Domestic Violence program. Licensed CADC counselors conduct DUI evaluations and drug assessments. The CSC will be hosting a benefit brunch and auction to help raise funds for the organization from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sunday, Feb.10, at The Sarah and Joseph levy Center, 251 Canterbury Lane, Bolingbrook. “Company B will provide entertainment” and a short CSC program will follow. Tickets prices are as follows $25/Adult; $15/Senior; $12/Children12 and under. You can purchase tickets at the door or call 815-886-5000. For additional information, visit the CSC at their website at www.thecsc.org.

H o ro s c o p e s Start your engines. You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great. This is a great week to begin any enterprise that depends upon networking or widespread publicity.

Cooperation makes the good times better and the hard times easier. An upfront forgiving nature and sincere approach makes you the go-to person to mend social situations in the upcoming week.

Develop a dialog. Make a point of talking to people directly, rather than talking about people. This is a week in which you will find that your capacity for sympathy and imagination is greater than usual.

Help yourself by helping others. Although you may be focused on your ambitions in the week to come, you may be called upon to help others achieve theirs, as well. All parties will benefit.

Drive and ambition fuel your workweek. You won’t need caffeine-laced power drinks for energy if you concentrate on doing the things that pique your passions. Accept spur-of-the-moment invitations.

In the coming week, you are often reminded that knowledge shouldn’t be mistaken for wisdom. Money may be judiciously spent for what you’ve already determined to be a good cause.

Don’t settle for being someone’s part-time, downtime or sometime love. In the week ahead, you might find that you have mistaken a true friendship for true love - or that someone wants more freedom.

Peace returns when you choose to not allow other people and outside circumstances to control your emotions. In the week ahead, achieve your fondest ambitions by playing to your strengths.

Generosity begets generosity. Even if you are riveted on moneymaking projects in the week ahead, never forget to share with others. People are willing to support you and help you.

When you are pleased by achievements, you are often rewarded by pleasing others, too. In the upcoming week, you may be immersed in material success, but won’t lose sight of spiritual goals.

Treat people well and you’ll help them become what they are capable of becoming. When you are the center of attention in the week ahead, remember to be grateful for the admirers who put you there.

What you perceive as things falling apart might actually be things falling in place. Follow through on promises in the week to come. Focus on following wise advice obtained from partners and friends.

Hardy leads Spartans in SPC By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

While the young Romeoville wrestling team is going through a rebuilding phase, that does not mean the Spartan cupboards are bare. As a team, the Spartans are trying to grow into a yearly powerhouse, but individually, there is talent to help them get by. Four Romeoville wrestlers advanced to medal matches Jan. 26 at the Souhwest Prairie Conference meet held at Minooka High School. All four finished in the top three in the SPC and earned medals. Leading the way for the Spartans was senior Naquan Hardy (31-1), who claimed the league crown at 120 pounds. He defeated Oswego’s Jack Pradel 8-2 in the finals to win the title. To get to the finals, he earned an 8-0 major decision over Minooka’s Shane Mart and he pinned Plainfield North’s Dan Valenzio in 3 minutes, 22 seconds. “This means a lot to me,” Hardy said. “I worked hard.

Underclassmen becoming norm in basketball By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

While there have always been freshmen and sophomores on high school varsity basketball teams, but until recently bringing up young players was done out of necessity. There have always been teams in a rebuilding mode that look a few years down the road and see a possible payday if they start young players. That strategy worked for the Romeoville girls basketball team that three years ago had a pair of freshmen on its varsity team and by their sophomore year, they had four solid sophomores on the team in Abby Smith, Kiera Currie, Angelica Osusky and Brianna Harris. This year, as seniors, that group has paced the Spartans to a 22-3 overall record and a perfect 11-0 mark in the Southwest Prairie Conference. Of course there have always been the superstar underclassmen, like Bolingbrook’s Morgan Tuck, who in 2009 averaged 18.7 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks per game and was the youngest player

to win the Illinois Ms. Basketball award. However, the trend has changed and pulling up young players to help a team win now is the norm. That is because with the advancement of AAU summer leagues and athletes focusing on one sport at an earlier age, freshmen and sophomores are able to contribute to varsity teams immediately. “One of the biggest reasons (more freshmen and sophomores are playing on the varsity) is the opportunities the girls have now,” said Maine East girls basketball coach Karol Hanusiak.“The talent is better because there’s more opportunities for girls. There are more camps, more summer leagues, more and more teams are concentrating on feeder programs so the opportunities are a little bit more.” In fact, in the Voyager Media coverage area, there are several underclassmen are among the tops in on the leaderboards.

Rinehart, Petty earn weekly awards Lewis University senior forward Sam Rinehart (Marion, Iowa/Marion) was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday (Jan. 28). “Sam is playing some of the best basketball of her career right now,” Lewis head women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen said. “She definitely is our emotional leader on the court. “The past couple of weeks, she has been able to take over in games when it has gotten tight to help us get the win.” Rinehart posted her first career double-double on Saturday (Jan. 26) in Lewis’ 71-69 victory over No. 23 Southern Indiana when she scored a career-high 22 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. In the Flyers’ 79-61 victory over Kentucky Wesleyan on Thursday (Jan. 24), Rinehart scored 11 points on 4-for-4 shooting from the field and 3-for-4 from the line and recorded eight rebounds.

In the five-set victory over George Mason on Saturday (Jan. 28), Petty posted his second double-double of the season with a career-high 21 digs and 19 kills. He also recorded three service aces, an error free weekend reception percentage and eight total blocks with two back-toback solo blocks against George Mason’s top attacker.

Senior Brandon Drogemuller (Hollister, Calif./San Benito) tapped the wall first in the 500yard freestyle, posting a time of 4:38.88.

They are looking up to me, so I have to get it done.” Hardy was sidelined last season after an injury suffered during football season, but he worked hard and not only made it back to wrestle this year, but was on the gridiron as well. “It was a lot of dedication,” he said. “I couldn’t quit. It hurt not to wrestle last year, it was

“Jaida can play,” North coach Stephen Bolt said. “She’s a solid freshman and she’s learning too and it’s new playing on the varsity level. It’s more physical out there and she’s done a great job adjusting to that. “We have some talented kids that ended up being in that class (freshman and sophomore), and we felt they should be at the varsity level and they’ve been doing a nice job producing for us. I guess it’s just how it kind of

aligned.” That list does not include sophomores Emily Eshoo and Emily Schramek and freshman Kathleen Doyle, all who are starters for Benet. “The game has changed,” said Benet coach Peter Paul.“They are much more developed when they enter. Teams are getting younger and they are good.” On the guys side, Plainfield East sophomore Aaron Jordan is second in the area in scoring, tied

at 15.3 points per game with Joliet West senior Morris Dunnigan, who was a freshman sensation himself three years ago. “He has unbelievable competitive fire,” East coach Branden Adkins said of Jordan. “He is head and shoulders above where a normal sophomore is as far as being a leader. He is our goto guy and he has hit some big shots.” Bolingbrook sophomore Prentiss Nixon is averaging 14.2,

while Plainfield North sophomore Trevor Stumpe is right behind at 14.1. “We have two kids on varsity (Stumpe and Jake Nowak) and the thing about them is that they have the confidence to be here,” said North coach Nick DiForti. “They are the right mold. There are kids in programs all around that have the talent to play varsity, they just don’t have the mentality to play varsity.”

painful. Most people try and come back slowly, but I say you either go hard or you go home and I came back hard. I’m not going home.” Hardy is not satisfied with winning the conference title. “This is a step to making me hungrier because I know the competition is coming and it is going to get real hard in the next few weeks,” he said.“I just know that I have to step it up because they will be stepping up.” In what was probably the highlight match of the final round, Romeoville’s Caleb Ramos fell 6-5 to Plainfield Central’s Ryan Holzrichter. Ramos was ahead 5-1 in the second period and nearly pulled off the upset. The Spartans had a pair of

third-place finishers, as Lucas Brandlin won via injury default over Dylan Cramer of Plainfield Central at 113. Brandlin was pinned by eventual champion Cody Hughes of Plainfield East. Brandlin then defeated Minooka’s Andrew Potts 5-3. “It doesn’t feel as good as I wanted to because I got the forfeit. I would rather have wrestled for it, but it still feels pretty good,” Brandlin said of the medal. “I still had to wrestle to get there. I can’t wait until next weekend. All I am thinking about is regional.” Also placing third was Evan Stingily at 182 pounds. He defeated Oswego East’s Dan Moran 15-13 in overtime for the medal.

“He was a pretty good kid and I got a nose bleed and had couldn’t breathe, so I had to breathe out of my mouth and I got more tired,” he said. Stingily opened the tournament with an 8-7 loss to Plainfield Central’s Dominic Sterr and then he pinned Plainfield South’s Zach Gonzalez in 49 seconds. Stingily said he was happy he was able to win his final match of the day. “It felt good to get that win,” he said. “I actually think third is better than second because with third place, you win the last match of the day, where second place, you lose and leave mad.” As a team, Minooka claimed the title with 221.5 points, while

Lisle gets some revenge on Westmont By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

It’s usually Katy bar the door when Lisle and Westmont meet for any athletic endeavor no matter what the season. And last Thursday’s I-8 Small Division girls basketball game between the two rivals lived up to its billing. The two clubs haven’t squared off since Westmont eked out a 3130 victory over the Lions to win a regional championship on Lisle’s home court last February. But Lisle was able to exact some revenge by holding on to defeat the Sentinels, 33-31. Seniors Kelly Urban and Kristina Fernette both saw action in last year’s regional title game loss, and they savored getting the better of Westmont this time around. “We’ve been in a lot of tough, close games with them,” Urban said. “To actually pull a win out feels really good. It feels good to beat them on our home court.” “It’s so satisfying,” said Fernette, who had seven rebounds.“Both of our schools are rivals with each other. It was so fulfilling to finally beat them with our home court advantage and our entire crowd with us.” Urban and Fernette, Lisle’s leading scorers, were held to four and two points, respectively, but other Lions stepped up their games to pick up the slack. Senior guard Skylar Tomko scored a teamhigh 10 points, while sophomore Kate Twaddle and junior Sierra Birdsell each netted eight. “It’s fantastic to see some of our kids step up,” said Lisle coach Dan Murray. “Kate Twaddle stepping up and Skylar Tomko breaking down their defense off the top with dribble penetration. Skylar did a phenomenal job for us.” The Lions held a 27-26 lead going into the fourth quarter. Fernette tallied her only basket of the game on a putback to start the fourth and the Lions went up 29-26. Lisle’s biggest lead of the quarter was four points (32-28), but the Sentinels climbed back into it, 3231, on Amanda Anderson’s driving layup, followed by a free throw from Anne Carlson with 2:01 to

go. That, however, would be the closest Westmont would get. Twaddle sank a free throw with1:27 remaining for a 33-31 edge. The Sentinels had opportunities to tie and win the game in the final minute, but senior center Susie Sternard (seven rebounds) missed a layup, and Mara Casper got a good look on a three-point attempt in the closing seconds, yet couldn’t get it to fall. “We can’t complain at all about that shot,” said Westmont coach Mike McCord. “That was a good shot. I have no complaints about this game at all. We said they’re a good team, we’re a good team, and see what happens.” “The good thing that we did is not let her (Casper) get any shots the whole half, so she didn’t get into a rhythm like she did the first half,” Murray said.“I think that was part of the fact that we did such a good job the whole (second) half that obviously aided us a little bit on that last shot.” Casper was on fire during the first half, scoring all of her gameleading 12 points in the half—all from behind the three-point arc. The Lions marched ahead 15-8 early in the second quarter, but the Sentinels went on an 8-0 run—six of those points coming via two Casper threes—to grab their first lead (16-15) since early in the first quarter. The game was knotted at 17 following two Tomko free throws, but Casper launched her third trey of the quarter to put the Sentinels on top, 20-17, at halftime. The victory over Westmont broke a two-game skid for Lisle, which won its 20th game of the year. It marks the second time in the three seasons that Lisle has won 20-or-more games since Murray’s been coach. “It’s good to get back on the winning track and obviously to beat such a quality team like Westmont,” Murray said. “Coach McCord does a fantastic job. He knows every little nuance of us, and I feel we know them well.The players play so hard and it’s just a great environment and obviously we came out on top tonight.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

Graceful exits appealing in TV dramas By Brian Lowry Variety

This may come as a surprise, but the smart people responsible for Showtime’s Emmy-winning “Homeland” could take a lesson from the gang behind “Jersey Shore.” MTV’s signature series will come to an end later this month, a mere three years (seriously, where did the time go?) after its introduction. Explaining the decision, MTV exec VP Chris Linn told the New York Times, “Rather than drive it into the ground or milk it to the very, very end, we wanted to give it a dignified sendoff.” Admittedly, “dignified” was never part of the program;indeed, using the word in connection with “Jersey Shore” is funny enough to qualify for the 10:30 slot on Comedy Central. Still, there is something to be said for the philosophy “The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long,” as articulated by the Replicant creator in “Blade Runner” right before Rutger Hauer squishes his head. Simply put, scripted TV is still rooted in a model predicated on replicating success as long as possible. As a consequence, networks aren’t

very nimble about recognizing when a show paints itself into a corner and, however prestigious or popular, should start working on a graceful exit plan. Enter“Homeland,”a series whose white-knuckled thriller aspects worked terrifically well the first season but have foundered in the second.With only the season finale to come and key missteps behind it - perhaps foremost a tedious subplot involving the teenage daughter - it’s hard to imagine a scenario where the program could run much longer and remain plausible without completely

hitting the “reset” button. Now, there’s no shame in this. Not every series is built to sustain itself for five years (once the “We’ve made it!” benchmark for syndication), much less seven or eight - especially today’s wildly intricate serialized dramas. Why arbitrarily lock even hits into such a template if that ultimately taints the overall experience? It’s a lesson AMC learned the hard way on “The Killing.” Yet as Fox Entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly noted at a recent forum, the industry doesn’t adapt as fast as it should. Yes, there have been welcome

and progressive steps in this area, starting with “Lost,” whose producers realized the tenuous nature of the show’s highwire act and devised an end date, albeit three seasons away. Other programs, like “Breaking Bad,” have followed suit. Reilly, however, also discussed varying the length of episodic orders and escaping the 22-episode-a-year imperative. And what almost nobody has figured out is when to say,“You know, a couple more episodes just to wrap things up would get us out in good shape, without potentially flying off the rails.” Perhaps inevitably, pay cable has led the way in this regard, including the four episodes Showtime will use to conclude “The Big C,” a series about cancer that never quite clicked but which - given the life-and-death premise - cried out for closure. HBO sought to do the same with a truncated season (which then became a couple of movies) to finish “Deadwood,” but creator David Milch was so insulted about the you’re-not-wantedhere implications that those plans never came to fruition. Granted, TV programs are major enterprises, and it’s not

always simple to abruptly hit the off switch. Still, in today’s Netflix-using, have-it-yourway world, negotiating such arrangements should not only be doable but - with the ability to promote mini arcs as “See how it all ends” - marketable as well. Despite how much the TV world has changed, it still flies in the face of conventional logic to discard assets like “Homeland” after two or three seasons and change. But that may be preferable to letting such programs wind up looking as haggard as Snooki and her buddies probably would in “Jersey Shore, Season XXIV.” In the movie “Amadeus,” the tin-eared emperor memorably tells Mozart that one of his compositions has “too many notes.” Incredulous, the musical genius replies, “There are just as many notes, Majesty, as are required. Neither more nor less.” And therein lies the challenge. Showtime once used the slogan “No limits.” But knowing where and when to set boundaries acknowledging this reality tailored to a program’s unique creative needs - might become TV’s new standard for boldness.

‘Django’ actor recalls foxiest ‘Little Fox’ of them all By Liz Smith Tribune Media Services

“I’M LUCKY Horace. I’ve always been lucky. I’ll be lucky again.” So declared Lillian Hellman’s ruthless anti-heroine Regina Giddens in “The Little Foxes.” She announces this to her critically ill husband, after he has foiled her crooked plans to become wealthy. Moments later, Regina does indeed become “lucky” once again. Recently I interviewed veteran actor Dennis Christopher,who has a juicy role in the current Quentin Tarantino Oscar-nominated hit, “Django Unchained.” (He plays Leonide Moguy.) But way back in 1981, Dennis, who had, as he put it, “a kind of ‘happening’ film career,” put it on hold to join the Broadway-bound production of “The Little Foxes.” That revival of Lillian Hellman’s condemnation of allAmerican capitalist greed was

to star Elizabeth Taylor in her stage debut, as the unsatisfied, avaricious, downright fatal Regina. The star of stars had had quite enough of sitting at home in Washington, D.C., or Virginia, while the man she helped elect to the Senate, John Warner,

worked at the Senate. (Taylor had never been married to somebody whose profession and interests were entirely foreign to her. Even hotel heir Nicky Hilton knew all about show biz.) Elizabeth lost weight for “Foxes,” cut back on the Jack Daniels, and put her mind to this latest challenge - which nobody thought she could actually accomplish. Dennis, though impressed that he’d be working with the legendary movie queen, was really more excited about the prospect of being onstage with fabled character actress Maureen Stapleton. (Stapleton played the pathetic “Birdie” in “The Little Foxes” and she was magnificent.) Dennis says:“I thought Elizabeth would be, well - Elizabeth Taylor. I was looking forward to her, but I did not expect a certain degree of professionalism from her - not theater professionalism, anyway. I was wrong. She was shockingly open to every suggestion, never

pulled rank, never ran off in a fit, was perfectly willing to run lines, sit on the floor to mark and highlight the script. There was nothing to suggest she had ever been a pampered movie star with people falling over themselves to please her. It turned out, she was a theater professional! And, she was superb in the role. “Elizabeth was just a doll, and great in the show for months. But then, one day I came to the theater, early as usual - who wanted to sit at home? Even an empty theater is exciting to me! I heard somebody crying. I followed the sound and there was Elizabeth in her dressing room, weeping as if her heart were broken. I was shocked, we’d become close. I said, ‘My God, what is the matter?’ And she looked at me and said, ‘I just saw my friend murdered on television.’ I didn’t know what she meant at first, and then I realized she was talking about Anwar Sadat, who’d been assassinated that day. I had no idea they’d even known each

other. She was absolutely griefstricken. “But that event, for whatever reason, triggered something. Elizabeth was never really the same again. Certain habits resurfaced. This was before she went to Betty Ford and I suppose she had no coping mechanism at that point. If it hadn’t been Sadat it would have been something else. “She was never unpleasant, ever, but things changed and we all saw that the show was suffering, although it remained a huge hit. Most of the cast didn’t follow ‘Foxes’ to London the next year.” (In London, Elizabeth - by then separated from John Warner - reunited with Richard Burton on the occasion of her 50th birthday. The next day he boasted to the tabloids of having slept with her. She was shocked and dismayed,but still undeterred to have him back.This eventually led to the debacle of “Private Lives” and the end of Taylor’s promising stage career.)

Real Estate & Business

Acceding to unreasonable customer demand risky Q. My organization has very, very clear spelled out and discussed rules and boundaries for how we work with customers. We have a written customer contract, and we even verbally review each point before we work with a new customer. Customers still expect me to give them extras that no one in our industry provides. How can I deal with this? I’m sick of repeating myself. A. The way you can deal with this is to realize that people’s behavior is controlled by their emotions. All your customers are trying to find out if they are “special.” If you break the rules for them (and them alone) then they get to feel special. I realize your problem is having rules that help you provide superb service and receive payment for this service during business hours. Your

organization would simply have to close its doors if it wasn’t profitable or couldn’t manage the time of its employees. If you give special treatment to multiple customers, there will be other customers who get poorer service. Customers need you to set up rules whereby every customer gets consistent baseline quality from you. Special treatment creates highs and lows in the delivery of your service, which will badly affect all your customers. You may think your customers should understand that you are in business to make money. Yet you need to know that your customers do not care about your needs. People may like you, but they are focused only on getting what feels good to them. What feels really good to many customers is to put you a position to prove to them that you love them better than all your other customers. When you provide

free service, give special breaks, or are available after business hours, the customer will feel great that one time. The problem is that every single customer you have is vigorously fighting with you to get the exact same deal. Your customers are not aware that you truly cannot give them “special” treatment without allowing your other customers to have this same goodie. Obviously, the high demand of constant special treatment at unknown points for each customer is a surefire recipe for burnout for you. The other problem is that the minute you break the rules for your customer, that customer has decided that this rule now does not apply to them and what you just did is your new commitment to them. Now not only will they expect the same break again but they will also think your other rules are negotiable. Most people do not go to their job thinking, “OK, today I will give away income and have

no personal life so I can make other people feel special,” unless they are martyrs. Martyrs in the workplace always will end up getting even with their customers by venting resentment. Since any rule you change will open up the “take an inch, get a mile” problem, you are best off just sticking with your original rule. What you communicate by sticking with the original rule is that business guidelines are not negotiable. To help your customer feel “special,” you can paraphrase their emotional reactions to your rules. You can also express your appreciation and enjoyment of the relationship you have with each customer. Also, when you start out a new business relationship, have a discussion that it is normal for customers to agree to these rules on the front end and feel upset when they apply to that customer on the back end. Businesses who allow customers to negotiate all rules provide poor quality. Your

customers will feel disappointed when you decline dismantling your business guidelines. However, they will benefit greatly when your organization stays in business and consistently provides high-quality work.

Last word(s) Q. I can’t retire because of the economy. The hardest part of work is dealing with people being jerks. Does the battle ever get easier? A. Yes, the hardest part of work (and life) isn’t what is happening but rather how we handle what is happening. Study tools to deal with people and the battle will be easier.

Don’t be overly dependent on government Dear Dave, I’m a single mom with three young children. I quit my nursing job a few years ago to be a stay-at-home mom, and one year later my husband filed for divorce. The state isn’t keeping him accountable for child support, but now I qualify for food stamps. Do you feel it’s morally wrong to be on government assistance? Rebecca Dear Rebecca, There’s nothing morally wrong with receiving food stamps, as long as you’re not lying about your income or situation in order to receive them. The biggest problem with food stamps, and other forms of government assistance, is many times a person becomes dependent on someone else to take care of them. I don’t want you and your kids to develop a victim mentality and become trapped in a cycle of substandard

living. You said you were a nurse before you came home to be with the kids, right? I’d suggest updating your nursing certification, if necessary, and going back to work in your field—maybe even as an emergency room nurse. I know the hours can be weird, but the pay is great. It would really get your income rolling again, plus you could afford to pay someone to look after the kids when necessary. You’ve been through a lot, Rebecca. Life has knocked you around lately, so it’s okay if you need to take food stamps for a little while. But I’d encourage you to start thinking from a long-term perspective as to what it’ll take to move forward and generate a good, livable income for you and your kids. Get into attack mode, take your

nursing degree, intelligence and experience, and create a quality life for your family. I know you can do it! — Dave

Not feeling the love Dear Dave, I made a huge mistake and allowed my sister to use my credit card. She said she’d pay back what she charged, but now she won’t pay the bill. The total was $5,500. Do you have any advice? Marie Dear Marie, I’m afraid I don’t have anything to give you that will make your sister grow some integrity and character. I used to tell my kids when they were younger not to bust the trust, because that kind of thing is very hard to put back together. I’d be pretty upset about this too. Still, obsessing over it isn’t going to solve anything. And really, when it comes right down to it, you opened the door for

this to happen. You really have no one to blame but yourself. If it were me, I’d do whatever it took to pay this off quickly. Put in additional hours at your job or find some part-time work at night and on weekends for a few months. Somewhere along the line I’d also leave my sister a message saying I know she’s not going to pay this, but that everything is forgiven. I call something like this “paying your stupid tax,” and it’s something that all of us have had to pay at one time or another. Learn from the experience, Marie. Loaning money to family or friends can damage the relationship. Keep in mind, too, that she’s probably going to come back around wanting money at some point again. But I’m guessing you won’t make the same mistake twice, will you? The First National Bank of Marie is closed! — Dave
