Teachers to review McMichael candidacy never questioned “This complaint had Valley View contract nothing to do with Steve By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
Working without a contract since last summer, Valley View School District 365u teachers are expected to vote this month on a revised proposal. The majority of certified and classified members of the district voted down the first proposal, marking the first time members rejected a contract in nearly a decade. Both parties continued negotiations, with issues at heart for teachers revolving around salary, higher insurance premiums, and changes to the daily schedule. Teachers say the main issue with the contract was the fact that the salary schedule proposed would not offset the rise in insurance costs. In addition there were proposed
changes being made to daily schedules that members could not agree with. “We are in the process of finishing up reviewing the tentative agreements, getting it out to the members, scheduling information meetings and then taking it to a vote,” said Victoria Sutterlin, president of The Valley View Council, Local 604 of the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO.“Throughout this entire process of negotiating a new contract, the teachers’ and support staff’s main focus continues to be educating the children as well as providing them with experiences and support that go beyond the classroom.” The teacher’s contract expired in August and members will continue to work off this contract until a new contract is approved.
Steve McMichael continues to vie for the Romeoville mayor spot, the question of his candidacy never an issue. The State Board of Elections held a hearing last week based on a complaint revolving around campaign disclosure rules filed by Trustee Ken Griffin, naming the Citizens for Steve McMichael, the Pro arena football team Chicago Slaughter, and Mongo McMichaels Restaurant.However, Steve McMichael, himself, was not included on the complaint. “This complaint had nothing to do with Steve. He was never accused of doing anything wrong and the question of his candidacy was never an issue,” said Lisa Raucci, McMichael’s attorney. Raucci said furthermore what was alleged in the complaint is not true. A number of items were alleged including the fact that the Chicago Slaughter was promoting McMichael. Raucci said McMichael had nothing to

Noak
do with that and that was for the benefit of Slaughter.The value of an ad placed by the restaurant, which bears only his name, was questioned and the campaign staff was alleged to have filed paperwork incorrectly. “Part of the problem is Mr. Michael’s notoriety,” said Raucci. “Some people see an opportunity to put out a T-shirt and market it without conferring with him and decide to pursue this on their own.” The hearing was held to first determine if the complaint was filed on justifiable grounds. The matter will then go before the General Counsel of the Board of Elections whether or not they agree or disagree. If it’s determined that it was filed justifiably, it could require

a public hearing to hash out the details. It is the duty of the plaintiff to provide probable cause that it was not falsely filed and carries the burden of proof. Board of Elections procedures state in the matter of a first violation, if the complaint was upheld, a fine would be issued. McMichael is facing current Mayor John Noak in the upcoming election April 9. Former contender Fred Dewald recently dropped from the race for health reasons.

Enrollment, stability on the rise at area Catholic schools By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
While a few years ago, communities saw a number of Catholic schools closing their doors, the Diocese of Joliet is following a trend of increased enrollment and with it, stability. The diocese covers Will, DuPage, Ford, Grundy, Iroquois, Kankakee and Kendall counties and includes 54 elementary schools, seven high schools and seven early childhood centers. More than 40 percent of the diocese’s schools have seen an enrollment increase during the past year, with some seeing a 12 to 18 percent increase. Poised to take its message out into the community, the diocese embarked on a marketing campaign that struck a chord, “We Teach More,” using the tagline to brand catholic schools as entities that incorporate faith with instruction, holding students to a higher standard both academically and spiritually. And their numbers back it up, said the Rev. John Belmonte, Superintendent. “We wanted to get the facts out there—we are proud of it,”
he said. The diocese boasts a 99 percent graduation rate, compared to 84 percent graduation rate at Illinois public schools; maintains an average score of 24 on the ACT, compared to the 20.9 overall average of Illinois schools; and reading scores rank in the 80 percentile, significantly higher than the 50 percentile national average; and in math, a 74 percentile average, compared to the national average of 50. In addition, “We Teach More,” can equate to the 400,000 hours of religious instruction per year, and what Belmonte says sets catholic schools apart helping students change the world is the 112,000 service hours provided by its high school students and the 64,000 service hours of its elementary students. “I believe in Catholic Education, because I see that our students do learn and achieve more,” Principal Kathy Lifka of St. Andrew the Apostle in Romeoville said. “We go beyond the textbooks to include discussions on faith, morality and ethics, something that is on the decline in our world today. We have small
classes so that teachers can treat your child or grandchild as an individual. I believe that we have the best teachers, not only because they are grounded in the Catholic faith, but because they are dedicated to developing the whole child.” Sister John Agnes, principal of St. Dominic in Bolingbrook, agreed about the role of Catholic education.“Saint Dominic School offers quality Catholic education that is inspired by faith and driven by excellence.” Another key factor playing into the increased enrollment is a focus on the Latino population, where Belmonte said the diocese saw a 20 percent. “The majority of our increases come from the Latino population which we targeted heavily,” said Belmonte. Belmonte said the fate for the diocese has flipped, no longer seeing losses, but gains. The success in large part is the attention to recruitment as well as retainment. “Gone are the days of presuming a Catholic family with eight kids are all going to enroll,” he said. “Families have choices, and we want to continue to
make our message clear.” Catholic Schools week was celebrated the last week of January throughout the nation with its theme “Catholic Schools –Raise the Standard.” U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Willow Springs, introduced a resolution in the U.S. House praising the outstanding work of Catholic schools. Lipinski’s resolution expresses support for “the vital contributions of the thousands of Catholic elementary and secondary schools in the United States” and “the key role they play in promoting and ensuring a brighter, stronger future for the nation.” Lipinski applauded the achievements made by Catholic school students and also called attention to the fact that “in northeastern Illinois, it is estimated that Catholic schools save taxpayers over $1 billion annually by lowering the number of students in overburdened public schools.’”
Belmonte said the diocese does not have the luxury of deficit spending and must produce a balanced budget each year, thus balancing tuition, parish support and fundraising efforts to cover its expenses. Catholic Schools Week allowed local parishes to celebrate their accomplishments, hosting a variety of activities including Math and Science competitions. Groups of grade levels were given challenges ranging from Index Card Sky-risers, Spaghetti Towers and Straw Bridges. In addition, throughout the week, Saint Dominic students challenged St. Andrew to a Souper Bowl. The two schools spent the week serving those in need by collecting more than 2,000 soup cans to be donated to the local food pantry.

Work on new athletic center for downtown to begin soon By Laura Katauskas Staff reporter
Work is set to begin next in March for the new athletic center, designed to be an anchor for the redevelopment of Romeoville’s downtown area. The 76,792-square-feet center is to include an indoor soccer field with cross-field capabilities, various athletic courts and several multi-purpose rooms. The concept plan approved by the board shows the first floor consisting of the indoor soccer field and two cross fields, a mezzanine level that will hold concessions, moveable spectator seating for 180 people and two multi-purpose rooms, and an alternate level will include two IHSA regulation basketball courts or four cross
courts; or four IHSA regulation volleyball courts. “The plan is very detailoriented, and I am sure we will be keeping costs in line,” said Trustee Sue Mickelvitz. The village believes the multipurpose center will attract various events such as boat shows or convention type events, and in turn bring the traffic to the area in search of revitalization for the past decade. The property, a section of 9.5 acres within the Spartan Square Development, was purchased by the village in 2008 and is bordered by Route 53 on the east,Townhall Drive on the west, Phelps Avenue on the north and Alexander Avenue on the south. Once completed, the village envisions a village square that will serve as a gathering place as well as space for future
community events. “Work has been fast and furious, and it is so nice to see people excited about the project,” said Trustee Dave Richards. As construction proceeds on the athletic center, plans continue for the existing retail center to be demolished once all leases have been honored. Phase one of the demolition was completed with the recent razing of the old Ace Hardware store. The Athletic and Event Center is anticipated to be completed in December. Noak noted the project is being funded using TIF (tax increment financing) funds from its downtown TIF district. Residents will soon be able to check for status updates on the downtown project on the village website, www.romeoville.org.

Feb. 15 Community Resource Fair open to all By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
In these difficult times, it’s hard to know where to turn for answers:“How do I cope with all this stress? What do I do about my financial problems? What’s happening to my child and how can I make things better?” The answers to these and many more questions will be available at a Community Resource Fair to be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Romeoville Recreation Center, 900 W. Romeo Road. It is open to the general public, and admission is free. Childcare will be available for $1 per child. The annual event is cosponsored by the Valley View Community Unit School District
365U and Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202. Originally, the event was geared toward further educating the school’s social workers. But since 2009, the fair has been open to the public, in hopes the community could benefit from the additional resources. “If you have ever had any fear or apprehension about seeking help, there is no need to worry, because our volunteers and vendors are all here for you,” said Brooks Middle School Social Worker, Mary Davis, a co-chair of the event. “You can visit with one provider, or you can visit with them all.” More than 130 agencies will

Campus Social Worker, Alan Bank, one of the fair’s co-chairs. “There will be representatives that specialize in everything from health and financial issues to summer fun.” Scheduled to be at the fair are representatives of hospitals, park districts, libraries, colleges, afterschool care agencies, summer camps, and recreational facilities, as well as community agencies that specialize in such things as career counseling, financial counseling, chemical addiction, depression, homelessness, physical and mental health, home buying, and senior care. Several food pantries will also be represented. All attendees will receive the 2013 Community Resource
Fair Provider Guide, listing every provider at the fair with summaries of services and complete contact information. “You may not even need any services right now.

Letters to the Editor Studied candidates, still voting for Noak As I started writing this letter, I found myself with a bit of internal conflict. I firmly believe that John Noak is the best choice for mayor of Romeoville, and support him wholeheartedly. But quite frankly, I couldn’t clearly articulate why I didn’t support Steve McMichael. It just seemed shady that anyone, especially a formerly high-profile sports star, would move into a suburban community, and a few months later, decide he was running for mayor. So because I believe in being an informed voter, I decided to try and find out what McMichael feels his qualifications are, and what he plans to accomplish. I had a great deal of difficulty finding anything online. Most everything that I can find is him telling some media outlet how he wants to focus on the expansion of Rt. 53, and that the foreclosure rate in Romeoville is just too high. Oh, and don’t forget the “McMichael’s Bears teammates are in full support of his candidacy” comments.As if being a member of a national champion sports team somehow makes you qualified to run a village. As someone who lives in Romeoville, works in Romeoville, and sends my children to
school in Romeoville, I feel I have earned the right to ask my candidates “What have you done for me lately?” Mayor Noak and the current village council’s record speaks volumes toward their commitment to our village. There is clear progress in crime prevention, village development, attracting businesses, and fiscal responsibility. Home sales increased 29% between October 2011 and September 2012. Progress is being made on the new events and sports center in Spartan Square. Ninety new businesses in Romeoville in 2012 brought 800 jobs to the village. Oh, and don’t forget the $400K midyear budget surplus. I wanted to find substance in McMichael’s campaign. I wanted to read how his leadership of the village government would put Romeoville on a better path than we are now. Unfortunately, from what I can find, he seems to be more interested in reminding people that he “has no financial interest” in the local sports bar that bears (no pun intended!) his name, and that he was a member of the ‘85 Bears. I didn’t find what I was looking for in Steve McMichael. But I’m displaying my “Noak for Mayor” yard signs proudly. Lisa Salazar Romeoville
Dreams and wishes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. His dream did come true. I also have a dream and wish for myself and many people who believe in any church. This dream and wish of mine has kept me awake, and constantly reminds me of my mission and obligation to again write of the quote “faith can move mountains.” As a rule of thumb, no one should discuss politics or religion. There are many views on these subjects. I do agree. But, sometime someone needs to write or speak out about a need that is more important than self-opinion. I write about a church that is needed in our fast-growing village of Romeoville.The church that I write about was right behind my home since 1960.We moved in 1961.This same church was demolished because of the need of larger water retention and village growth.This hurt me and many others. Good Shepherd had many people of different faiths walk through the doors.This church had daily AA, Alanon, Alateen, Scouts, Dart Ball and more. People were helped.These programs are greatly needed. The Alanon program helped me and AA helped my husband. Our village has five vibrant
and wonderful churches.The past and current people of the church I was familiar with, I honor and applaud. Currently they have a church service in their pre-school.They also have a very caring pastor. Good Shepherd needs to be rebuilt.When I discussed this with some of the current members, they say the church is only a building. The world is destructive.A church reminds you of love, hope, peace and forgiveness. I constantly need to hear these words. Our village has many new (more to come) buildings. It demonstrates to all the surrounding communities that we all care about each other and our village. My dream and wish is like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to rebuild Good Shepherd.This would be a re-birth of a building that would stand erect for many years to come.This illustrates a community is dedicated to God and the future of all the residents. Shirlee J. Pergler Romeoville
Time to boycott When you enter the village of Romeoville on Joliet Road you will notice that from Route 53 to 135th Street there are five gas
stations — Citco, BP, Speedway, Shell and Mobil. All are mini marts where you can get gas, coffee, snacks and beers. Nothing really unique, but what is different about them is the price of their gas.The price of their gas seems to always be 15 to 20 cents higher than the gas prices on Weber Road, Lockport, Crest Hill or Joliet. Is it a special blend, a magic gas that makes your car go farther on a gallon of gas? No. It’s a group of gas station owners who set their prices higher than anywhere else in the area, knowing that you the customer will pay the price. See, most of you don’t shop around for cheaper prices or drive to Crest Hill or Joliet to get lower prices.They know that.They know that most of your won’t take the time, so you end up in their gas stations. And that’s why they keep getting away with the gas gouging.They know the Village of Romeoville and the attorney general’s office won’t do anything to them. That’s why it’s up to the customers to boycott these gas stations until they stop their outrageous acts and stop taking advantage of the people of Romeoville. Richard M. Strom Romeoville

Spartans undefeated SPC champs By Scott Taylor Sports Editor
Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff
Romeoville’s Angelica Osusky takes it inside on East’s Nina Maggio in Romeoville’s 60-50 win.
Last year Plainfield East beat Romeoville in the season finale, forcing the Spartans to share the Southwest Prairie Conference title with Oswego East. The Spartans wouldn’t let that happen again. Romeoville (25-3 overall, 14-0 in SPC) jumped out to a 17-7 lead after the first quarter and went on to win 60-50 Thursday, Feb. 7 in Romeoville. “It doesn’t get better than that,” Romeoville guard Abby Smith said.“We’ve been working for that since day one and to achieve that is amazing. We wanted to take it for ourselves and make sure nobody else came close.That was motivation through it all.” “It feels really good, especially with last year and everything,” Romeoville senior post Kiera Currie said. “We did finish out goals all the way and this year we proved that we could accomplish our goals. We just have to get back in the gym and get ready for regionals. It’s a really good feeling for us.” Romeoville entered the game
unbeaten in the SPC, while East had a single loss to the Spartans earlier in the season. Romeoville made it two in a row this time and went undefeated in the SPC season in the process. “It feels great,” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “I thought the girls played really well. I couldn’t be prouder of the girls. They really put in the time. They play the way Spartan basketball should be. I’m very excited for them. It’s an undefeated conference season and I believe only Minooka has done that a few years ago.” After playing five closely contested games with the Bengals (22-4, 12-2) the past two years, Romeovile was able to have control for much of the game. “The difference was our intensity,” Smith said. “Our motivation to win this game was big. East is a good team and we have played them so many times. We know each other pretty well, so our main thing was to get the ball to Kiera and get her shots inside and work as a team, that’s what we’re good See CHAMPS, page 19

Big second quarter aids Romeoville By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
After a normal first quarter, Romeoville held a simple 15-11 lead in their Southwest Prairie Conference showdown with Plainfield South. It was the second quarter that made the game for the Spartans, as they opened the frame on a 16-0 run to go ahead 41-25, a
lead that was able to withstand a furious comeback by South, as the Spartans held on for a 64-63 win. “That was the best first half that we have played, probably all season,” Romeoville coach Jeff Bambule said. “Christian (Diaz) started it off getting to the basket and that made things happen and we hit some shots.” Diaz had half of his team-best 16 points in the second quarter while Jimmy Moon had a pair of three pointers, scoring six of his 11 in the frame. Bambule said he told the Spartans to be ready for a Plainfield South comeback. “Give them credit, we told our guys at halftime that South wasn’t going to lay down,” Bambule said. “They were just going to turn up the pressure
more.” The Cougars did, but Romeoville was able to handle it despite being banged up during the half. “We did a nice job and Christian and James (Boyd) were banged up and they gutted it out,” Bambule said. “We made enough plays to pull it out.” “(Christian) was hurt at the end of the game and he did a really good job of gutting it out and giving us a spark,” Moon said. “He is a great ballhandler. Everyone did a good job handling pressure and I am proud of our guys.” South’s Alonzo Garrett led the Cougar comeback, scoring 12 of his game-high 18 points after the break. See BIG, page 19

Ramos, Hardy off to state By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
Romeoville senior Caleb Ramos has worked four years to earn a trip to the Illinois state wrestling tournament. Saturday at the Class 3A Moline Sectional, those four years of work came down to one six minute match. With the top four places advancing from the state meet Ramos, who lost to eventual champion Ryan Holzrichter of Plainfield Central in the second round at 132 pounds, faced Phyllip DeLoach of Alton in the wrestleback semifinals – the match that would determine if all his hard work had paid off. It did, as Ramos defeated DeLoach to seal his trek to the state meet, which takes place next weekend at Assembly Hall on the University of Illinois in Champaign. “There is a point when you realize that everything you have worked for doesn’t matter unless you win that match,” Ramos said. “It is not about records or who has how many wins, it is about who brings the fight to the match and I brought it. It feels great. Everything is coming together and I am feeling great for state.” Losing in the final match a year ago and not making state his first two seasons, Ramos has had his share of loss and heartbreak on the mat, but he said all that loss See STATE, page 18

is what makes tough wrestlers and tough people in life. That is what I am doing, I come back from each loss stronger, but I don’t like losing. It hurts my soul when I lose, but every time, I just get hungrier and I get better at wrestling. I am a very technical wrestler and sometimes I think too much, but here I just believed in myself and let it flow.” Ramos is not the only Spartan senior headed to the state meet this senior.

At 120 pounds, Naquan Hardy will be joining Ramos at the state meet. Hardy’s trek through the sectional wasn’t as dramatic as Ramos’, as he defeated BradleyBourbonnais’ Jim Knapp and Shayne Oster of Lockport in his first two matches, locking up his place at state, as he advanced to face Joliet Central’s Trayvon Zabala in the title match.

but in the third Zabala, who has a 43-0 record this year, turned it on and defeated Hardy 17-3. “I think he is the best wrestler at this weight class in the state,” Hardy said. “He doesn’t get the credit he deserves (Zabala is ranked third my illinoismatmen. com), but in my eyes he is the best. He is in better shape than me, so I have to go back and get my cardio up. I am going to work hard and maybe I will see him next week and if I do, the match will be different. I am not saying he will win or I will win, it will just be different. I will go hard at it. I know I was better than what I showed, so it is a motivation. Sophomore Evan Stingily also

advanced to the sectional meet, but lost in his first two matches and was eliminated. All in all, Romeoville coach Bill Normand is happy with the sectional outcome. “I am very happy for both of them,” he said. “Caleb had a heartbreaker last year and put the time in and had a great offseason and had a great year and he came through. And Naquan had that football injury last year that kept him out and he battled back and had a great season. I am speechless how happy I am for those two kids. They put the time in and they deserve it.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

the one that cut the score to one point in the final seconds were heavily contested. “They hit some tough shots,” Moon said. “We played good defense, so give them credit for getting back in the game.” All the while the Cougars made their comeback, Moon said he was not going to allow his
team to fold under the pressure of the lead slipping away. “I was picked as captain so it is my job to be a leader out there and I have to keep my head up and make sure the other guys keep their heads up,” Moon said. “If we keep our heads up, who knows what can happen in the playoffs. If we keep shooting
well and play good defense, we can compete with anybody.” No matter what happens from here on out, Bambule said he was happy for the Spartans were able to hold on the win they worked so hard for. “The bottom line is they are great kids,” Bambule said. “We have been through our struggles

However, the Spartans scored the final 11 points of the quarter to take a 47-33 lead and the lead remained in double digits the rest of the game. “We made sure we were consistent and kept the lead,” Currie said. “Even when we did get down, we didn’t let it affect our game, we kept pushing hard.” “The first half was kind of shaky, but in the second half
they were switching things up and I had the opportunity to take it,” said Romeoville’s Angelica Osusky, who scored 13 of her 15 points in the middle two quarters.“Then I could pass it out to the outside for shots. We were really connecting and were pumped for this game. We didn’t want to share again.” Currie led Romeoville with 21 points and Smith tallied 13. Faith Suggs led the Bengals with 13. The celebration for
Romeoville was short lived as it played a Lemont Regional semifinal game Wednesday with the possibility of a fourth game this year with Plainfield East. It would be the seventh meeting in the past two years and both teams have won three times. The Spartans have won the past two, which should give them some added confidence. “It’s the rubber match I guess,” Carrasco said. “We’ve each won three times in the past six games in the last two years. Now we
have to see who is going to win the rubber match. I hope the girls are ready.” “We have the confidence, but we have to go in with the mentality that we are 0-0,” Osusky said. “It’s going to be all fresh because you are one and done now. We have to put this win behind us and go out with a bang. They are a great team but I’m glad we did what we did tonight and we’re able to pull it out.”

Two convincing wins put Dons back on track By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter
Senior Night last Friday at Notre Dame turned out to be the right prescription for a Dons’ squad that’s endured injuries to Matt Mooney and Justin Halloran in recent weeks, coupled with suffering back-to-back losses the previous weekend. Seniors Danny Lazarra and Billy Hirsch were in the starting lineup for the Dons Friday, and they made significant contributions in Notre Dame’s 77-50 ESCC victory over Joliet Catholic Academy. Lazarra scored five straight points, including a three-point play, in the second quarter, which put the Dons in front, 15-7. Hirsch topped Notre Dame scorers with 12 points—all coming in the second half on three-pointers. He sank consecutive treys early in the third period that capped an 8-2 run and provided the Dons with a 40-24 lead. “The seniors got a ton of playing time, which they deserved,” said Notre Dame coach Tom Les. “There are a lot of good guys playing well. “In the first half I thought we were a little sluggish, and a lot of it was because they were playing good defense. They caused us a little confusion offensively. In the second half, I think we got some better ball movement. We got some easy looks and the basket got a little bigger and we made a few.” Pat Dillon’s trifecta in the fourth quarter—the Dons netted eight treys during the second half—gave Notre Dame its biggest lead of the game at 6735. All told, Notre Dame had 11 three-pointers on the night. Halloran (three treys) and Eddie Serrano scored 11 apiece, while Serrano snapped down eight rebounds. Lazarra and Duante Stephens each finished with eight. Stephens added four rebounds, four assists and three steals, and Jake Maestranzi collected five assists and five rebounds. “We really needed this to get our momentum going towards the tournament,” said Halloran, who’s back at full strength after
missing six games in December and January with a fractured knuckle on his right index finger. “Hopefully we can continue building on this.When we’re full strength, we’re really good. We really think that we’re one of the top teams in the state.” The Dons are the No. 2 seed in the Glenbrook North sectional and will be at the Glenbrook South regional later this month. Maine South got the top sectional seed. “We were really hurting after this past weekend,” said Mooney, who returned to action for the first time since hurting his back in a 47-42 loss to Carmel Feb. 1. The injury forced Mooney to miss Notre Dame’s game the next day, which Loyola won, 63-54, while hosting the War on the Shore Shootout. “We knew that we fell short,” he said. “We didn’t get the No. 1 seed in the sectional, but we know we deserved it and we’re going to keep fighting.” Mooney said his back is “hurting a little bit,” but he plans on playing through it. “Hopefully it’ll work itself out,” he said. “He was not moving like he normally does,” Les added. “Hopefully tomorrow he’ll feel better and next week.” Les’ “tomorrow” reference was to the Dons’ 75-44 triumph over Providence St. Mel on Saturday night—their 20th victory of the season. Mooney had 21 points and Halloran scored 15 points for Notre Dame (20-4, 5-2), which led comfortably throughout following a 23-8 first quarter. Stephens had 10 and Serrano eight. Les said the team’s mindset after dropping two in a row for the first time this season was positive. “Everybody was disappointed,” he said, “but the one thing about our guys, they weren’t pointing fingers. They were all, ‘What else could I do (to have won)?’ And that’s the approach I want to take. We played a game-and-a-half without one of our best players (Mooney). Guys stepped up, but we really didn’t close the deal.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

A healthy heart, a happy Valentine’s Day that too much cholesterol is bad for us, but why? Because high cholesterol can cause the ebruary...the month of buildup of a fatty substance love and romance. As called “plaque” within the we ladies look forward walls of the arteries.These to spending February 14th with fatty deposits cause the inside our loved ones and relishing of arteries to narrow resulting all things related to the heart, in a decrease of blood flow let’s remind ourselves through them.Think to take good care of of a kitchen pipe our own hearts. Heart becoming clogged disease has long been over time. Since blood considered a disease supplies oxygen to of men, but it is the our bodies, when number one killer the arteries become of women as well as narrowed then men in the United the amount of oxygen States. While the risk of Medical Memo supplied to the heart may be reduced.This heart disease increases lack of oxygen can with age, women of all cause chest pain and eventually ages should seriously consider a heart attack. A heart attack making the appropriate lifestyle is your heart crying out for decisions and do everything they can to reach their dreams. oxygen. Let’s begin with the basics. Luckily, there are things that What is heart disease? There can be done to reduce the risk are blood vessels, called the of this happening.We cannot coronary arteries, that supply change our family history but we can change our lifestyle blood to the heart.The most and fortunately that can make common cause of heart disease a difference.A woman’s risk is disease of these very arteries, of heart disease is higher if appropriately called coronary artery disease. We all know she is over age 55, has a family
history of heart disease or heart attack, high total cholesterol or LDL, has medical problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes, or has certain lifestyle characteristics such as cigarette smoking, lack of regular exercise, or obesity.The more items on this list a woman has, the higher her risk of heart disease. What can be done? First, stay physicially active. We’ve heard it all before. But it is worth reading it again. Exercise helps maintain a healthy weight, controls blood pressure, and improves cholesterol levels. It can increase good cholesterol levels (HDL) and decrease bad cholesterol levels (LDL).The goal is to be physically active at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week. Do it for yourself, your family, and all of those people that care about you. Second, stop smoking.The sooner you quit, the greater you reduce your chance of developing heart disease.Third, maintain a healthy weight.This benefits much more than your heart. And lastly, try to reduce cholesterol levels by exercising, reducing saturated fat in the
diet (avoid processed food!), and eating more fiber such as beans, oatmeal, popcorn, and nuts. If diet and exercise do not work, there are medications that can reduce cholesterol levels and help reduce your risk of heart disease.This does, of course, mean you will have to see your doctor and have your cholesterol checked. Symptoms of heart disease in women can differ from men and sadly many heart attacks of women can be ignored because of this. Some women will have chest pain, with or without nausea. If the following symptoms last more than 5 minutes, call an ambulance or go to the hospital: sudden, intense pressure or pain in the chest; shortness of breath; chest pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck or arms; or feelings of light-headedness, fainting, sweating or nausea. If you experience any of these symptoms, take an aspirin, lie down and breathe slowly while you are waiting for the ambulance to arrive.This can help decrease or limit the damage to your heart muscle.
Doctor’s Rx: Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. Heart disease is often caused by narrowing of the arteries that supply oxygen to the heart muscle which limits the amount of oxygen to the heart and can cause chest pain or a heart attack. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the best thing women (and men) can do to reduce their risk.This includes increasing physical activity, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight and reducing cholesterol levels. Remember, symptoms of heart attacks in women can be different from men, so be aware of what those symptoms are and have a plan for dealing with them in an emergency.

Making mistake is not the same thing as being wrong Q. I know I misunderstood something one of my employees said and overreacted.We used to have a great relationship. Now he hardly looks at me. I really don’t want to have to admit I was wrong? How can I fix the relationship and still keep my pride? A. You can fix the relationship if you can realize that making a mistake is not the same as being wrong. If you believe that your entire being can be made wrong because you are a human being who
learns through errors, then you’ll be unable to problem solve because you are too stuck in embarrassment. We will all make mistakes in and out of our workplace. If we strive to achieve great goals, we’ll also make grand mistakes not merely small mistakes. Every mistake gives us a chance to start again more intelligently. My clients tell me that using the language I teach them is a great asset in fixing mistakes. For instance, if you talk
to employees about realizing that you may not have listened to them thoroughly, you are not admitting there is something horribly wrong with you. Most of us on a bad day have been less than perfect listeners. Consider the possibility that, instead of limiting yourself categories like right and wrong, you could use categories like effective and ineffective. If you evaluate your behavior based on whether it works or doesn’t work, there is no global assessment of your soul going on. Reality is a great teacher to
all of us in the workplace. We come to a job in our twenties with a lot of theories. We try out our theories and, if we’re wise, notice that some theories don’t seem to be effective. As the boss, you’re in a position to be a powerful role model to your team. What you do will speak much more loudly than what you say. If you can acknowledge that you didn’t listen well and overreacted, then your employees have the room to also admit and fix problems. There have been multiple studies on the concept of a
“learning organization.” The idea can be summed up like this: If people feel free to make mistakes, admit errors and learn, the entire organization makes more money. Productivity really is based on our capacity to see what doesn’t work, not be bogged down in being upset about that, and figuring out a better way. American business in particular has prided itself on innovation on novel problem solving. Ask yourself how you or your team can engage in creativity if you are too embarrassed to admit what doesn’t work?
Base term life insurance amount on income level Dear Dave, I’m looking at buying term life insurance. Currently, I’m in medical school doing my last year of residency and making $35,000 a year.Should I base the amount of insurance coverage on what I’m making now or what I’ll make when I’ve finished medical school? Amanda
Dear Amanda, In most cases, I advise basing the amount of life insurance coverage on the income you’re earning at the moment. After all, that’s the amount your family is used to living on, right? However, if you’re finishing up your medical degree this year, it’s a virtual certainty you’ll earn lots more in
2014. You could easily go from making $35,000 to $135,000. I recommend that people buy term life insurance coverage of about 10 to 12 times their annual income. Considering your situation, I’d say you could afford to buy a little potential. Instead of basing it on your current $35,000 income and buying
a policy in the $350,000 to $400,000 range, you might double that amount. It will still be really cheap coverage as long as you’re in decent health. And once you’re making doctor money you can adjust the amount of coverage according to what you actually make. Good luck, Amanda! —Dave

Stepping up for cancer research with St. Baldrick’s By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
Towns and residents all over the area are gearing up to go bald. In an event, the St. Baldrick’s fundraiser, which spans across 50 states and 20 countries, local communities and countless volunteers are shaving their heads in solidarity for children with cancer. Gordon Biersch at The Promenade Bolingbrook kicked off the fundraising season for St. Baldrick’s Bolingbrook 4 Kids Jan. 29 with a beer tapping event, raising $2,500. St. Baldrick’s is the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. Organizers ask that people throw vanity out the window and dare them to experience the “brilliance of being bald while raising funds for life-saving research.” Being a shavee raises awareness—a bald head, a display of solidarity with children who have cancer who aren’t able to choose how to

style their hair because they lost it to chemotherapy. Each year, teams from throughout the area come together for their event; Bolingbrook 4 Kids to be held this
year, March 16 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m., opening ceremonies start at 6:30 p.m. with shaving starting at 7:15 p.m. Funds will be raised by volunteers
from Bolingbrook, Plainfield, Romeoville and surrounding areas who shave their heads through sales of food and drink purchases, raffle tickets and a silent auction. The event will honor numerous children with cancer along with their families. Families that have lost their children to cancer will also be present and honored. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation makes grants to research institutions to find new cures for childhood cancer, and to find treatments to ensure a better quality of life for patients and survivors. The Foundation funds research projects conducted by established pediatric cancer experts, as well as younger professionals who will be the experts of tomorrow. Funds also enable hundreds of local institutions to participate in national pediatric cancer clinical trials, offering the best available care for every child. The event has collectively raised more than $69 million in the past 10 years to be dedicated
to cancer research. It is the world’s largest such fundraiser and is only second in the amount of donations to the U.S. government. The “Bolingbrook 4 Kids” event is among the top 25 largest St. Baldrick’s events, ranking 25 out of 1,100 events worldwide in 2012. The event has been hosted since 2007 annually by the Bolingbrook Police and Fire Departments andThe Promenade Bolingbrook. Entertainment will be provided by Music Mania, The Weber Irish Dancers and The Bolingbrook Fire Honor Guard Pipes and Drums.
