Nickey V brings South Side-style Chicago pizza to Romeoville By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

LAURA KATAUSKAS/STAFF REPORTER

Pizza man Nicky George is opening a Romeoville location inside Leo’s Bar and Grill at 201 East Romeo Road.

Bringing South Side Chicago to the suburbs by means of a traditional thin crust pizza, Nickey George is dishing up his Pa’s pie and honoring a family tradition. Working under his grandfather’s tutelage for some 30 years at the Original Vito and Nicks on Chicago’s South Side (And where his grandfather’s recipe became legend), he hopes to attract followers to Nickey V’s, his Romeoville location inside Leo’s Bar and Grill at 201 E. Romeo Road. Featured on such television shows like “Chicago’s Best” and “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” on the Food Network, the pizza took national status, and Nicky V has brought the recipe with him. A family business, his uncle has opened additional locations,

including one in Plainfield. But Nickey V’s is on his own. The Lockport resident stumbled upon what he called a “great opportunity” to use the kitchen in Leo’s Bar and Grill, hoping to expand to a full kitchen someday. He wants to honor his grandfather’s tradition of working with only quality ingredients, which he says is key to a good pie. Continuing to work with the same suppliers, using only the best cheese he grinds himself and sausage from local vendors, California tomatoes, and an allpurpose flour that makes the perfect cracker crust, George is aiming to please the palates of his customers. “My grandfather did it right, and he taught me a lot of things, one of them bring is to give the customer what they want and don’t stray from what works,” said George.

“It’s simple, if you like good pizza, you have to come.” For regular customers Tim DeMichele of Plainfield and Ray Donahue of Lockport, it appears the job is getting done. Selfproclaimed pizza connoisseurs, the pair say there is nothing like Nickey V’s pizza in the area. “I come here three times a week for this pizza,” said Donahue. “There is nothing like the cracker crust, and he is consistent every time. Every time, we get a good pizza—nothin’ like it. I won’t get pizza from anywhere else.” He is open 5 to 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 5 to midnight, Friday and Saturday, and noon to 9 p.m. Sundays.

Foster: Business sense key to solving major problems By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Newly-elected U.S. Rep. Bill Foster is set to take measures built on what makes the most business sense with independent solutions to today’s problems — even if it means he has to compromise. Foster ousted veteran Republican Judy Biggert in the November election, who once claimed a stronghold in the area for more than a decade.The new 11th District stretches through Chicago’s western suburbs and covers five counties: Kane, Kendall, DuPage, Will and Cook and includes all or parts of Aurora, Montgomery, North Aurora, Oswego, Plainfield, Darien, Downers Grove, Naperville, Lisle, Willowbrook, Woodridge, Bolingbrook, Crest Hill, Joliet, New Lenox, Romeoville, Shorewood, and Burr Ridge. Foster is now making his rounds through the communities he serves, hoping to gauge the largest needs and concerns of

the area. “I’ve been meeting with local mayors and taking a driving tour of their cities—it’s a tremendous way to learn the history and the real politics of the city,” said Foster. “This way, I get to see where all the dead bodies are buried so to speak …

It’s a way to learn the real needs and what they would like first from the federal government. That’s a big part of my job and my staff’s job.”

No newcomer New to the 11th District, but not to politics, Naperville

resident Foster is a scientist, businessman and former Congressman, who served from March 2008 until January 2011 as the representative of Illinois’ 14th Congressional District. He said his focus now will be personally meeting with local mayors and Rotary clubs to listen to their input. In time, he hopes to get back to meetings with his constituents as well. He’d like to revisit his practice of “coffee on the corner,” of years past, where he set up shop at the local grocery store to chat with citizens. But he said he first has to get back to Washington and help correct the mess left by the former Congress, calling the “sequester the final act of the worst Congress we’ve seen in a lifetime. “It has been the least productive Congress in 50 years in terms of the number of bills passed and some decisions like the sequester were unnecessary and lazy-minded,” said Foster. With deep cuts across the board, he feels a need to focus

on finding a balanced alternative to the sequesterian cuts he feels will hurt the local economy. “There are many places where cuts are reasonable and necessary, and, in fact, larger cuts could be justified, but there are places which are already underfunded, where cuts will be felt deeply,” said Foster. ““It’s clear that Americans are fed up with the partisan gridlock and governing by crisis, and so am I.” Believing there’s no other way to resolve critical issues facing the country, he intends to work in a bi-partisan manner to create measures to combat major local issues. He said that includes the housing crisis, one of the biggest issues he sees for Will County. He also intends to keep a watchful eye on the Will County intermodal system – one facility each in Elwood and Joliet, and one being developed in Wilmington -- protecting its See FOSTER, page 4

St. Baldrick’s event to raise money for lifesaving research The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a volunteerdriven charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research, will host one of its signature head-shaving events at Romeoville High School on March 15 where more than 40 students and staff members will shave their heads in solidarity with kids with cancer and raise money to Conquer Childhood Cancers. Participants find that shaving their head in solidarity with the approximately 160,000 children diagnosed with cancer each year and frequently lose their hair as a result of treatment, is a small sacrifice in comparison to what these children endure.

Why all the shaved heads? Worldwide a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes, and one in five children diagnosed in the U.S. will not survive. With only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pediatric cancer research, St. Baldrick’s Foundation volunteers, supporters and donors are needed to continue the battle against this devastating disease. On March 13, Romeoville High School will host its fourth annual “Peg a Cop” Dodge Ball Tournament. This is a pre-event to the main event on March 15. Police teams from the Romeoville, Joliet and

Plainfield police departments will compete against RHS Students and offer the kids the opportunity to “Peg A Cop” just for the fun of it. Featured raffle prizes will include a Bears helmet, Bulls and Blackhawk tickets, area Spa gift certificates, a bake sale and many more surprises. This event is open to the public and will be held at the Romeoville Recreation Center, 900 W. Romeo Road, Romeoville. The “pegging” will begin promptly at 6 p.m. Admission is a $1 donation to the foundation. Bring an appetite as well as sponsors will have pizza and baked goods for sale. On March 15, 40 Romeoville

High School students and staff members will shave their heads to help conquer kids’ cancer. The event will be held locally at the Romeoville High School, 100 N. Independence Blvd., Romeoville, with an estimated 2000 in attendance. Head-shaving will begin promptly at 1 p.m. The “We Baldin” RHS Team is comprised of 110 volunteers, of whom 40 will be going “bald for the cure.” Performances will include the RHS Cheerleaders, Poms, Band, Madrigals, Drum Line, and surprise shavers and guests. At its first RHS 2010 St. Baldrick’s event, the “We Baldin Team” consisted of 40

students and staff members who went bald for the cure, raising more than $8,600. The group topped that in 2011 when our 144 person team raised over $26,500. The 2013 team surpassed its three-year goal of raising $50,000 for the foundation by raising an additional $22,418. That makes a grand total of more than $57,500 for the foundation. The group is well on its $65,000 goal this year with more than $800 on the board.

Furthermore, her husband and long-time Mayor Roger Claar and daughter Lindsey are equally involved in supporting the community’s youth. “My husband, Roger, has worked tirelessly to build a better community for our children to grow up in; Lindsey’s efforts have focused on youth ministry, child development and marriage and the family, all in an effort to build better lives for our youth, and I have focused on educating and supporting our youth,” said Claar. “Above all, I want the community to know we deeply

care about the future of our youth and are committed to doing whatever we can to build the best community possible for our youth and their families.”

Just back from General Colin Powell’s “America’s Promise: GradNation” youth summit in Washington, D.C., Claar spoke on the focus of the summit and how communities can increase the graduation rate in high schools. A common theme was the need to develop a game plan to help communities advance the graduation rate, and that schools need the community’s help. “Organizations such as H2O are on the right path, but we are only touching the surface,” said Claar. “Corporations understand this,and many appear interested in offering support, pro bono, to tutor, mentor and support our youth. Since we are a small staff, we are in desperate need of tutors and mentors to meet the growing needs of our teen population, and I intend to do a better job of reaching out to the business community to support this need.” People can learn more about H2O by visiting their website, www.hearthavenoutreach.org, or by calling 630-226-8403.

Valley View survey aims to improve student learning By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Rather than base a student’s success solely on test scores, a new state survey has educators, parents and students looking at the entire school environment, a move Valley View School district members find encouraging. Students and teachers were given the first statewide opportunity to weigh in on learning conditions and school climate, indicators that have been proven necessary for strong student outcomes, including better attendance and improved student performance. The Illinois State Board joined UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago Urban Education Institute in providing an online survey, called the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, to help the state’s nearly 4,000 schools better identify their strengths and areas needing improvement. Senate Bill 7, passed in 2011, required the Illinois 5Essentials Survey to be implemented this school year. The survey asks about leadership, collaboration, family involvement, instruction and the school environment, and was administered to all certified K-12 teachers and students in grades 6-12 in Valley View and across the state.

The survey will be expanded to the Valley View parent community next year to help the district ensure a high response rate. “I strongly feel that gathering input from all stakeholders in our school community is an essential component to true school improvement,” said Valley View Assistant Superintendent Rachel Kinder.“As we are all well aware, test scores alone do not tell the full story.” Kinder said the 5Essentials would complement a recent community survey conducted by Valley View last fall that was centered on gathering input to formulate its district strategic plan. “So while that was not focused specifically on the 5 Essential components at a school level, it did provide valuable information on the priorities for improvement at a global level,” said Kinder. “Next year, with the 5Essentials Survey, we will be gathering information at the school level that is very focused in the particular domains, which will allow us to really refine our efforts for even greater improvement.”

Students surveyed A.Vito Martinez Middle School Principal Sarah DeDonato said

5 THE

essentials of learning

1. Effective leaders: The principal works with teachers to implement a clear and strategic vision for school success. 2. Collaborative teachers: The staff is committed to the school, receives strong professional development, and works together. 3. Involved families: The entire school staff builds strong relationships with families and communities to support learning. 4. Supportive environment: The school is safe and orderly. Teachers have high expectations. Students are supported. 5. Ambitious instruction: Classes are academically demanding and engage students by emphasizing the application of knowledge.

students were asked different questions about the level of rigor and expectations in the classroom. The survey will provide the perceptual data needed as a building leader to move forward with its school improvement plan. “I look forward to seeing the results so I can identify areas of strength and areas in which we can improve as a building,” said DeDonato.“It is important to gain an awareness of the perceptions of staff and students regarding See SURVEY, page 8

setting high expectations for students. “So far,the questions regarding parental involvement have already given me a chance to think about the opportunities we provide here at Martinez Middle School for parents to voice their opinions and become partners in their children’s education.” Oak View Principal Robert Pinciak agreed the survey is a means to receive information they may not have been privy to before. “This survey is a nice way to collect information that defines the current reality,” said Pinciak. “I’m excited to learn what people think we are doing well in and what needs improvement. It will become a comprehensive tool that will look at effective leadership as a means to collaborate, get involved and support instruction.” The only complaint regarding the survey was Martinez believed it should be open to teacher aides and other non-certified staff as well since their opinion is valuable. The approximately 15-minute-long survey provides a comprehensive assessment of school organizational culture with reports to help drive school improvement on the five indicators or “essentials,”

including questions on effective leaders, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environment and ambitious instruction. The 5 Essentials were based on 20 years of research conducted by the University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research in more than 400 schools, including Chicago Public Schools. Their research indicates that the 5 Essentials have been shown to be strongly predictive of school improvement. Schools strong in three to five of the essentials are 10 times more likely to improve student learning than schools weak in three to five of the essentials. Those differences remain true even after controlling for student and school characteristics, including poverty, race, gender and neighborhood characteristics. Strength on components within the essentials also correlates with increased teacher retention, student attendance, college enrollment and high school graduation, the report indicates. Statewide summary results will be shared with the Illinois State Board of Education this summer. Schools will receive their results this summer, and the ISBE will incorporate results into the 2013 school report cards, typically released by ISBE at the end of October.

H o ro s c o p e s When the going gets slow, just keep in mind that you are gaining valuable experience. Take a much needed break during the first half of the week and spend quality time with a special someone.

Friends fall in love. You are romantic, charming and full of fun. Someone you think of as a merely friend may think you are serious about taking a relationship to the next level in the week to come.

Time has been wasted. You have not accomplished everything you set out to accomplish because you are easily sidetracked. During the week ahead, work hard to gather necessary credentials.

Real success might come from what you do, but whom you know is just as important. Impromptu intellectual conversations and meetings might broaden your social horizons in the coming week.

It doesn’t matter whether the glass is half full or half empty, just be grateful you have the glass and something in it. In the coming week, strive to strike a compromise and accomplish dreams with loved ones.

Never confuse the path with the destination. In the upcoming week, you may cross paths with people who can illuminate the problems, as well as the benefits, of sharing your dreams and plans with others.

To feel rich, just count all the gifts you have that money can’t buy. During the week ahead, you may reap rewards for your efforts and experience a pleasant change or a major improvement in your situation.

Concentrate on inspiration rather than perspiration in the week ahead. Cut an elegant figure while keeping financial plans and arrangements clearly defined. You don’t need to work hard; maintain momentum.

Reassess, re-evaluate and rehabilitate your ideals. This week, you may enter a fresh phase in your reputation and public persona. You can gather valuable insights by studying or traveling.

You can always count on conditions changing. Even if there is a storm now, there can be sunshine somewhere in the forecast. Remain optimistic this week; a phone call can make the difference.

You may be torn between achieving your ambitions and doing what is expected of you in the upcoming week. Measure your success by the size of the smile on a significant other’s face.

Fools and their follies might do just fine. During the first half of the week, you might be luckier than usual. People will be impressed by your skills. Capitalize when others are magnetically drawn to you.

Spartans battle, come up short vs. Huskies By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

It was only fitting that in Romeoville coach Jeff Bambule’s last game as head coach, his team played the brand of basketball the Spartans have been known for throughout the years. They played a hard-nosed, lowscoring defensive battle with Naperville North Monday, Feb. 25, in a Benet Regional quarterfinal. While the No. 23 seed Spartans fell to the 10th seeded Huskies 51-44, they were able to stay in the game throughout and managed to take a lead in the fourth quarter. “These guys went out like teams I’ve had for the past 20 years,”Bambule said.“They played hard, they left it on the floor and they gave themselves a chance. They have no reason to hang their heads. We play like that more often than not, we’d give ourselves a chance to win more. It is what it is. We finished up strong, and that’s all that we can do today. I’m proud of them.” North held an 8-4 lead after one and a 16-10 advantage at the half, as Romeoville senior Rashad Steele scored the only second quarter points for Romeoville on a pair of threes. The Spartans kept the score within six points throughout the

third quarter and five points by Steele to finish the third cut the deficit to one, 23-22, entering the fourth quarter. Steele then made it a personal 8-0 run with another threepointer to give the Spartans the lead.After a North three, Christian Diaz answered with a basket to take a 27-26 advantage. “We knew we could hang with them,” Steele said. “Throughout the season we were underrated. We played hard, worked hard and got better every game. I liked it. We just wanted to make something happen. We tried to make something happen for coach’s last game.” “We wanted to take the game into the last three minutes and give ourselves a chance to win the game,” Bambule said. “They allowed us to keep our pace for most of the game.” However, four straight threepoint plays from the Huskies broke open the game as they took a 40-27 lead. “We left their leading scorer wide open for two threes, and you can’t make mistakes like that against a good team,” Bambule stated. “We got too quick then, and we were too quick early in the game. Our turnovers were unforced.” Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Lewis hoops teams set for GLVC Tournament Four teams punched their ticket to Evansville, Ind., on Sunday following victories in the opening round of the 2013 Deaconess GLVC Women’s Basketball Championship Tournament. No. 5 seed UWParkside, No. 6 Indianapolis, No. 7 William Jewell and No. 8 Missouri S&T captured home wins Sunday and have advanced to the tournament quarterfinals, which take place Friday, March 8. No. 8 Missouri S&T (16-11, 11-7) stopped No. 9 MissouriSt. Louis 60-47 in Rolla, Mo., on Sunday. The Lady Miners earned the right to play in the coming week with the first-round

tournament victory and will now face top-seeded and GLVC East Division co-Champion Lewis (21-5, 14-4) on Friday at 6 p.m. CT. The Flyers, who dropped only four conference games on the season, lost 69-62 to S&T in Rolla back on Jan. 5. • The Lewis women’s basketball team clinched their first Great Lakes Valley East Division title since the 2006-07 season with a 64-60 victory over UW-Parkside on Thursday (Feb. 28) at Neil Carey Arena. Lewis closed out the regular season with a 21-5 record and 14-4 record in the GLVC. UWParkside falls to 18-8 on the year and 12-6 in the conference. Sophomore Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./Bloomington Central Catholic) led the Flyers with 16 points and nine rebounds while seniors Labrenthia Murdock (Round Lake, Ill./Round Lake) and Sam Rinehart (Marion, Iowa/Marion) chipped in 12 points and 11 points, respectively. “Tonight was a dogfight for

the whole 40 minutes,” Lewis head women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen said. “UW-Parkside is a tough defensive team that is hard to keep off the glass. “I thought we did a good job on the defensive end, which allowed us to get things going on offense.” Lewis won the battle on the boards, pulling down 41 rebounds to UW-Parkside’s 34. The Flyers’ bench also outscored the Rangers’, 18 to 9. In the first half, Lewis built a game-high 10-point lead at 29-19, tallied on a Nikki Nellen (New Berlin, Wis./Pius XI) made free throw at the 2:20 mark. Reinhart posted eight points while Murdock added five for the Flyers. After Lewis took a 29-23 lead into halftime, UW-Parkside went on a 15-6 run to take their first lead of the game, 37-35, on a Tara Knapstein lay-up at 13:52. Lewis answered with a 7-0 run as Alexus Grayer (Washington, Ill./Washington) hit a threepointer while Rinehart and

Murdock each scored a basket to help the Flyers retake the lead and go up 42-37. The Rangers gained a 43-42 advantage on a Jenna Endisch three-pointer at the 9:27 mark. Grayer answered with a threepointer of her own on the Flyers’ next possession to go up 45-43. Reinhart scored six points as the Flyers went on a 12-6 run to rebuild an eight-point lead, 5749, with 3:40 to go in the game. UW-Parkside made a late surge to get within two points with 10 seconds left at 62-60, but Rinehart headed to the line and made both free throws to push the score to 64-60. Danielle Slivka led the UWParkside offense with 20 points and 10 rebounds while Sierra West chipped in 15 points. Seniors Hannah Koeneman (New Haven, Ind./Woodlan), Lauren Mead (Wauconda, Ill./ Wauconda), Rinehart and Murdock were honored prior to the start of the Flyers’ last regular season home game. “(The division title) is a great accomplishment,” Carlsen said. “I am proud of the team. They worked hard to get here.”

MEN No. 6 Lewis (19-8, 12-6) held off No. 11 seed Quincy on Sunday for a 73-65 win in Romeoville, Ill. The win gives Lewis a trip to the Ford Center and a quarterfinal matchup against No. 3 seed Southern Indiana (20-6, 13-5), the defending GLVC Champion. The Screaming Eagles and Flyers will do battle in Thursday’s nightcap at 8:30 p.m. CT. In the two meetings between the two East Division rivals this season, the road team was victorious on both occasions as USI earned a 65-64 victory at Lewis on Jan. 26, while Lewis scored a 63-59 win in Evansville on Feb. 7. • This senior night was meant for Lewis University guard David Bryant (Batavia, Ill./Batavia). Bryant hit all four of his threepoint attempts and scored 18 of his team-best 23 points in the second half to help the Flyers to the 68-61 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over GLVC East regular-season champion, UW-Parkside, at Neil Carey Arena on Thursday (Feb. 28) night.

Changing of the guard on the courts With the basketball season coming to an end, I was going to talk about the changing of the guard, with the girls’ basketball team losing eight seniors, including four, threeyear starters. Then I found out that boys’ coach Jeff Bambule is stepping down, meaning both programs will be experiencing some major changes in 2013-2014. •A couple years before I joined the Bugle, I witnessed some Romeoville girls basketball games while I was covering the

Plainfield schools. More often than not, the outcome wasn’t good for the Spartans. Three years ago, I began covering Romeoville, and I watched a young Spartans girls’ basketball squad struggle, but show some promise. I was thinking by the time they were seniors, they could be a .500 team, maybe even better. Then, the following year, Kiera Currie transferred in from Bolingbrook and joined Abby Smith and Brianna Harris as a strong sophomore trio. Angelica Osusky was brought up from the sophomore team, and that made it four strong sophomores. Those sophomores would win the Oak Lawn Tournament and go on to win 20 games for

the season. The past two years have gotten better and better, culminating this year with a regional title. Now, the Spartans are left to start all over. But, there is hope. After struggling to get to five wins early in Coach Julio Carrasco’s tenure, the Spartans have managed more than 65 wins the past three years. Even though all of the senior leaders are gone, they have changed the philosophy of the program. Now, I’m not saying they will win 20 games next year, but to think they will go back to a three- or four-win team next year is a little too negative. What the seniors leave behind is a winning tradition, something that hasn’t been felt in the See CHANGING, page 17 Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

James Boyd will be playing under a new coach next year.

Sports SPARTANS Continued from page 13 James Boyd hit three long balls, and Steele added two more down the stretch, but it wasn’t enough.

CHANGING Continued from page 16 program for a while. Now it is up to the younger girls to keep that tradition going.And, I think they are up to that task. They have learned the importance of teamwork, and, more importantly, hard work. The seniors were able to get better every year because they put in the work in the offseason. This year’s underclassmen will have to do the same for next year. While next year’s top players all will have played only reserve roles this year, they were able

“I’m really proud of the way the kids played,” Bambule said. “We gave ourselves a chance, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Rashad had a heck of a day against a good team that’s perfectly capable of winning this thing.” Steele finished his last high

school game with a career-high 23 points, while Boyd added nine. “I wanted to win it for my last organized game of basketball,” Steele said. “My teammates were looking for me because they knew I had the hot hand. I was just trying to make something

happen.” For Bambule and the Spartans, it will be the end of a long, successful era. “I think about a lot of things,” Bambule said.“I think about John Meyer giving me the opportunity to coach. The support I have had over the years has been

tremendous. I love Romeoville High School. I don’t think I’m done coaching forever, but I feel like I have some obligations to my family. It’s been a tough year. I’m going to be watching a lot of basketball.”

to get some experience at the varsity level. That should do wonders for them next year, as should going up against the seniors in practice day in and day out. The Spartans built themselves around their defense this year, which, in my opinion, was their biggest improvement from last. It will be up to the underclassmen to keep that going next year, and, if they do, you can expect them to be in a lot of games. I think next year’s team will end the season with doubledigit wins, and the following year, they should be even better. Of course, a lot of that will depend on how much they

learned from the seniors. •Like with the girls’ team, I watched the boys before covering them. Since that time, there are two things I always take away: Coach Bambule almost always got the most out of his players, and they always seemed to be much improved by the end of the year. Three years ago, they rebounded from a rough regular season to win a pair of regional games and advanced to the regional championship. Two years ago, Romeoville turned the corner in the second half of the season and rallied from 17 points down in the second half of a game at Plainfield Central to beat the

20-win Wildcats in a game I will never forget. This year, they steadily got better throughout the season, and it showed in their regional game when, as a No. 23 seed, took No. 10 seed Naperville North to the wire. Under Bambule the Spartans have been known as a tough, physical defensive team that most years are very scrappy. It will be interesting to see if the new coach can continue that tradition of getting the most out of their players, more often than not. While Bambule will be missed, it will be interesting to see if the players carry over what they have learned from him to the next coach.

I think Romeoville is built for a much-improved 2013-14 season. It has a returning point guard in Christian Diaz and some size up front in Armani Bonilla. There are several other key pieces returning, although they will have to replace their scoring leaders, Jimmy Moon and Rashad Steele. While there are many unknowns about next year on both sides of the ball, one thing is for sure: Next year will be vital in determining where both programs are headed in the future.

West rallies to win regional By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Three years ago as a freshman, Morris Dunnigan helped the then combined Joliet Township basketball team win the Bloom Regional title. After spending the last two seasons recovering from a torn ACL suffered early in his sophomore year, Dunnigan again took control of the game late and propelled Joliet West to its first regional crown since 1993, as the Tigers defeated T.F. North 40-37. “Our seniors, I love these kids like sons and I wanted to win this game for those seniors that are leaving this program because they have meant everything to me and they have done everything we have asked of them and more and this is their moment tonight,” said West coach Luke Yaklich. North’s Greg McClain was all over Dunnigan for three quarters, not letting him get many good looks at the basket. Then, trailing 36-33 with one minute, 45 seconds left in the game, Dunnigan methodically dribbled the ball up the court, lulling McClain into giving him just enough space as Dunnigan approached the top of the key where he buried the three-point basket to tie the game and shift the momentum to the Tigers. “All night, he had me tired,” Dunnigan said. “He was all over me. That was the first chance I had for an open look and I took it.” After the teams swapped free throws, West had the ball with a minute left and Dunnigan dribbled the time down to 24 seconds left on the clock and West took a time out. The play was set up for Dunnigan to take the final shot in regulation, but that changed when he saw junior Allias Roberts-Burnett open under the basket. “It was originally supposed to be me going to the rim, but I am not a selfish player,” Dunnigan

said. “When I see an open teammate, I get the ball to them. Here, I had to. He was wide open right at the rim. All he had to do was go straight up.” Yalkich said although they planned on Dunnigan taking the final shot, the alternate call came from the timeout as well. “At the timeout, we were going to go 1-4 flat for Morris and told Morris to take the shot with about five seconds to go,” Yaklich said. (Assistant) coach

(Gary) Sonnenberg said they like to double team out of a timeout. It was a great call on his part and we told Morris to be ready and he was and Allias made the perfect cut and Morris found him. “Morris can get a shot for himself any possession he wants. He is that good and can create space for himself, but Morris is a willing passer. He wants nothing more than to see his team win and it doesn’t matter to him if he scores seven or 17 or 27. He is

a competitor and he is someone who understands game pressure and game situation better than any player I have ever coached.” The last minute offensive highlights were the only ones for West, as they struggled offensively all night, however, they did not let that bother them on the defensive end, especially in the fourth quarter, as they forced 10 turnovers and held T.F. North to only four points. “To hold that team to four

points in the fourth quarter is great,” Yaklich said. “When offense isn’t working, we cannot let it affect the defense and our defensive intensity never let down even when we weren’t scoring the ball how we are used to scoring. That is the sign of a mature team and a tough team.” Dunnigan paced the team with 12 points, while Carl Terrell and Brandon McCullum tallied six each. mark@buglenewspapers.com

Real Estate & Business

Living with in-laws no way to resolve debt Dear Dave, I’m 27 and married, and we have two kids. I make $90,000 a year, but we have $80,000 in consumer debt—$48,000 of which is in car loans. The rest is credit card debt. My wife’s parents have offered to let us move in with them so we can get out of debt faster. Do you think this is a good idea? Kevin Dear Kevin, If I were in your situation, I would not move in with the inlaws. You’ve got an absurd amount of money wrapped up in those cars. I’d sell the stupid things, start living on a budget and paying down debt, and keep my dignity. In my mind there are only two scenarios where you’d even consider taking the inlaws up on their offer. One is where they’re absolutely wonderful people and you have a great, non-toxic

relationship with them, where everyone involved knows their boundaries. Even then, I’d only consider this if it were for a very short, agreed-upon amount of time. The second scenario would be if moving in with the in-laws were the only way to accomplish your goal. And you don’t pass that test. You guys can get out of debt pretty quickly if you’ll just lose these ridiculous cars! Think about it. If you had two little paidfor beaters, your lives would be so much different. You could even save a little money on the side while you were paying down debt and buy a better car as soon as the debt was gone. If you can’t tell, I’m pretty big on maintaining dignity. You might love your cars so much that you’re unwilling

to make the sacrifice. Not me. The money going into your automobiles is insane, and that’s your biggest problem! —Dave Dear Dave, What do you think about the HARP program, and what exactly is it? Ivy Dear Ivy, The Home Affordable Refinance Program is designed for people who have made their payments on time but are underwater on their mortgages. Being “underwater” means they owe more on their homes than the homes are worth. So basically it gives them the opportunity to refinance their home loans. The HARP program is the only part of the Clinton administration’s Making Home Affordable program that actually worked. And to be honest, it has worked well. In contrast, the recent Home Loan Modification program is

a piece of junk and all about political posturing. About 93 percent of the people who applied for a home loan modification didn’t get one. It was just another case of the government pretending to do something. I’d advise looking into the HARP program if you’ve got a good credit history and you’re underwater on your current home. Lots of HARP program applications are being approved, and the deals are closing. That’s what really matters when you find yourself in a situation like this. —Dave Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

Fear can prevent problem-solving at work Q. There have been several business emergencies this year where I’ve frantically worked night and day to fix the problem and instead the problem got worse. On the other hand, for some unknown reason, there were other emergencies I calmly handled and the problem seemed to evaporate. Why isn’t hard work always equaling a solution? A. Hard work isn’t equaling a solution for you because getting stuck in fear prevents effective problem solving. We often run around like a chicken when we are scared, doing everything we can think of to achieve our goal. We don’t sit quietly, observe our situation and see the one thing we can do to get to the root of the problem. The workplace has become an increasingly frightening place to make money and thrive. This may be the year all of us will be challenged to address all the issues we find

most difficult to tolerate. Some of us will break out, grow up and thrive; others feel more like they are drowning. When the workplace was a kinder, simpler place, we could afford to walk around only using the 10 percent of our brains that scientists tell us most of us use. Sure, some days we felt like zombie monkeys working for the corporate Big Brother, but, hey, it was a paycheck. Nowadays, walking around on automatic is less of an option. We can experience this reality as a benevolent opportunity to mature and get powerful, or we can tell ourselves that we are victims of a mean universe. None of us get a deal from our workplace that we will finally arrive at the corporate Shangri-La where nothing bad ever happens. At some point, it occurs to most of us that we really have no control over everything that happens to us.

All payments shall be made in cash or certified funds payable to the Sheriff of Will County. Judgment amount is 169,801.70 plus interest, cost and post judgment advances, if any. In the event the property is a condominium, in accordance with 735 ILCS 5/151507(c)(1)(H-1) and (H-2), 765 ILCS 605/9(g)(5), and 765 ILCS 605/18.5(g-1), you are hereby notified that the purchaser of the unit, other than a mortgagee, shall pay the assessments and legal fees required by subdivisions (g)(1) and (g)(4) of Section 9 and the assessments required by subsection (g-1) of Section 18.5 of the Illinois Condominium Property Act.

Our only safety is if we have high-level skills to cope with what happens to us. Fear is more contagious than the flu in the workplace. When we get frozen in anxiety, every action we take is tainted by the smell of desperation. Other people don’t like fear any more than we do, so they will avoid us when we seem terrified. The problem really isn’t the emotion of fear; it is whether we use the fear to motivate us to break out of our habitual box. Negative emotions really won’t hurt you. They are there to light a fire under you and move you to take risks to tolerate what you have avoided and try what you deem risky. If this year you notice that nothing you come up works when you are frozen in fear, perhaps you will be inspired to let your anxiety drive you to new places you’ve never been at work. As you develop more confidence in your ability to feel afraid and learn breakthrough tools, you may even welcome some of your

workplace challenges. There is always a still, quiet center inside you, no matter what your workplace storm. It is your best ally during times like these, but you can’t find it if you’re frantic. Next time a challenge lands on your desk, breathe deeply, let your fear take you out to the edges of your known universe, and explore a new world of options. You might just look forward to that trip!

The last word Q. Can you force someone at work to understand your point of view? A. No, but you can put the time in to understand their point of view so they have a starting point to understand yours.

Hamburg H

amburg is Germany’s second-largest city and its most important port. Like other great European “second cities” - such as Marseille, Glasgow, and Barcelona - this northern port city has a special pride. Popular with Germans (but a rare stop for Americans), Hamburg has a real feel and edgy charm - and an honest grip on where it came from and where it’s going. Travelers looking for quaint, Old World Europe won’t find it in Hamburg.The city’s medieval center was virtually leveled by a huge fire in 1842, and World War II bombing decimated the rest. Today’s city center is a soulless mixture of office buildings and brand-name chain shops. Instead, Hamburg’s allure is around the edges, showcasing reminders of Germany’s industrial prosperity. A century ago, Hamburg’s port was the world’s third largest, and between 1850 and 1930, more than 5 million Germans emigrated to the United States from here.These days, the city’s fishy maritime atmosphere with a constant breeze and the evocative cry of seagulls - gives Hamburg an almost Scandinavian feel that’s worlds away from the sun-drenched, Baroque joviality of Bavaria. One city-center sight that’s worth visiting is the 647-room City Hall. After the previous City TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES PHOTO

Hamburg built its City Hall in the late 19th century to show off the wealth and grandeur of imperial Germany.

Hall burned down in the fire, the city constructed the current building to highlight the wealth and grandeur of turn-of-the20th-century imperial Germany. It shows off Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Gothic, and other thenpopular historicist styles. From City Hall, a short walk north leads to Binnenalster, the first (and smaller) of Hamburg’s two delightful lakes. Lining the lake is the Jungfernstieg, the city’s most elegant promenade boasting top-of-the-line shops. From spring through fall, canal boats take visitors on a sleepy tour around the lake. Just above Binnenalster is the larger lake, Aussenalster. In the past, private gardens tumbled down from mansions lining the lake. But a 1953 law guaranteed public lake access for everyone, and walking and biking paths now parallel its shore, providing Hamburg - one of Germany’s greenest cities with a sprawling parkland.

Gentriﬁed dockyards Cradling the city to the south is another body of water: the Elbe River, site of the city’s former docklands. With the advent of modern container ships that demanded more space than Hamburg’s industrial zone could accommodate, most business shifted to a larger port nearby - and all this prime real estate (just half a mile from City Hall) suddenly became available. Now this area like

The place where Old World charm meets modern Germany

the former docklands areas in London, Barcelona, and Oslo is being gentrified.The result: HafenCity, Europe’s biggest urban development project. The centerpiece of HafenCity is the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall, a towering and wildly beautiful piece of architecture that’s slated to be finished in 2015. When it opens, it will serve as a concert hall, hotel, apartment complex, and shopping mall. The northern part of HafenCity is occupied by Speicherstadt, the old warehouse district.The city preserved the area’s red-brick riverside warehouses as part of the urban landscape, and some of them now house museums and other attractions, including the International Maritime Museum and Miniatur Wunderland, featuring a sprawling model railway and miniature versions of the Alps, Scandinavia, and the United States. Downriver from HafenCity is the St.Pauli Landungsbrucken harborfront area,which locals call“the Balcony of Hamburg.” One of my favorite sightseeing experiences in Hamburg is to hop a harbor cruise and gape at the mighty port.The massive ships,container cranes, and dry and wet docks are breathtaking,and the entire experience is buoyed by fascinating narration. The most interesting place to cap off the day is the Reeperbahn. Home to many of Hamburg’s

Broadway-style musical theaters, this neighborhood is where the Beatles got their start (though the Beatlemania Museum closed recently). The Reeperbahn also contains the tawdry red-light sailors’ quarter. But thanks to a rising tide of affluence, the redlight district is shrinking, and these days, it’s confined to one small block, defined by metal modesty walls erected during Hitler’s rule. Back then, German society didn’t admit to having such districts, but an exception was made for the hardworking and heroic sailors on shore leave. After being surrounded by the seediness of the Reeperbahn, the nearby Shoulderblade district provides a wonderful breath of fresh cultural air.This trendy neighborhood hosts a squatterbuildingturned-artsvenue and a strip of fun eateries booming with hip

professionals.An edgy-yetcharming park has about the only reminder I saw of World War II in all of Hamburg - a bunker that has been painted and converted into a climbing wall. Districts like the Shoulderblade and HafenCity show off modern-day Hamburg at its finest. No longer content to be famous merely for its lusty sailors’ quarter and as the Beatles’ springboard to stardom, the new Hamburg expects to be seen as a cultural capital moving boldly into a promising future.

If you visit Sleeping: Hotel Wedina is a hip, informal, design-conscious place featuring rooms in four renovated townhouses on a quiet street near the train station (splurge, www.hotelwedina.de). Hotel-Pension Alpha is a cheaper choice in an older but wellkept building almost in sight of the station (moderate, www. alphahotel.biz). Eating: Kajute sits on pontoons on the Aussenalster and provides a great view of the sailboats and the setting sun across the lake (An der Alster 10a, tel. 040/243-037). Block Brau, a huge modern beer hall, features local cuisine, its own beer, and rooftop terrace seating with harbor views (Landungsbrucken 3, tel. 040/4440-5000). Getting around: Subways, buses, and public ferries make sightseeing efficient in this spread-out city. Tourist information: www. hamburg-tourism.de.
