Noak challenges McMichael to debate in mayoral election By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Mayor John Noak took to the airwaves during a WIND radio show interview and challenged his lone opponent Steve McMichael to a debate before the upcoming April 9 election. “The contrasts between Mr. McMichael and me couldn’t be clearer, and our residents deserve to see those differences side-byside,” said Noak. “Mr. McMichael has made statements that are raising questions among voters. Debates are the best way to get those and many more questions answered.” In what has fast become a highly contested race between the pair, McMichael said he is taking the challenge under advisement. “I would like to be privy

to the same information the mayor has at his fingertips and need them to open the books for me to see,” said McMichael. “In fact, this whole race has been an open debate already.

We go back and forth in the paper every time an issue comes up.” The election for mayor and other village offices in Romeoville is on Tuesday, April 9, 2013.

Will County Regional Superintendent Shawn Walsh introduces the contestants in Thursday’s Will County Spelling Bee.

Valley View School District 365U once again proved its students are among the best spellers in Will County by placing four 8th grade spellers in the top 13 at the annual Will County Spelling Bee Feb. 14. Defending County champion Kim Belser of Humphrey Middle School, who competed in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. last year, finished fourth at this year’s county bee, missing on the word “striated” in the 17th round. Lukancic’s Elizabeth Zahorick tied for 5th place, dropping out in the 15th round on the word “nonplus.” Rory Richards of A. Vito Martinez tied for 8th place, missing “junta” in round nine. And Edward Owusu of Jane Addams tied for 13th, going out in the 6th round on “hedonism.” Belser, who had gone 195 rounds over the past two

years at the school, district and county levels without missing a word, correctly spelled behest, spherical, prosaic, flamboyant, antipasto, hydrology, metaphor,inselberg,poignant, maelstrom, gynarchy, roodebok, mozzarella, fidgety, and hermetic. Zahorick correctly spelled spectrum, aspen, asterisk, megalopolis, autobahn, staccato, doctrinaire, adagio, gingham, dachshund, ocelot, segue, coloratura and dichotomy. Richards was perfect on deluxe, adobe, hawthorn, gestapo, babushka, schloss, eulogy, and chimichanga. Owusu spelled canary,hosta, buccaneer, and Mikado. In all, 48 spellers from middle schools and junior highs throughout Will County competed. Students from Homer Junior High, Summit Hill Junior High and St. Joseph School in Manhattan finished in the top three.

Romeoville finalizes plans for athletic center Downtown development to include indoor soccer field, athletic courts and multi-purpose rooms By Laura Katauskas Staff reporter

Signing off on a $10.4 million contract to complete the new Romeoville Athletic and Event Center, Romeoville village officials solidified a commitment to the changing face of a new downtown. Designed to be the anchor for the redevelopment of Romeoville’s downtown area, the proposed 76,792-squarefoot center is to include an indoor soccer field with crossfield capabilities, various athletic courts and several multi-purpose rooms. An 1,800-square-foot alternate addition is also being considered for additional court space. Village officials believe the multi-purpose center will attract people as well as conventiontype events and, in turn, bring the traffic to an area in need 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 borders Route 53 on the east, Townhall Drive on the west, Phelps Avenue on the north and Alexander Avenue on the South. Village officials hope construction will help create a downtown look and feel, with buildings such as the center now facing Route 53. “This area will look totally different than what they see today, “said Trustee Joe Chavez. “What’s to come is also very important to us.”

Once completed, the village envisions a village square that will serve as a gathering place as well as space for future community events. “This is really about the total overall redevelopment of the area and always was our plan to revive the area,” said Mayor John Noak.“We are bringing value and a goal of long-term stability to the downtown area.” Trustee Sue Miklevitz addressed some resident concerns she heard regarding the center’s purpose. Various communities she checked with that have such centers say they are successful, but not necessarily revenuegenerators. “I’ve been told such facilities are serving its purpose; it may not be revenue-generating, but it is meeting operating costs,” said Miklevitz. “It is not the purpose to generate revenue, but to bring business to town.”

Election issue Mayoral candidate Steve McMichael later blasted the center, saying it is based on a fictional movie theme of, “build it and they will come.” He suggested the money would be better spent on a grocery store that residents have been requesting for years. Noak said plans for a grocery store and further prospects are still under way, and those details will be announced once details can be released. 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 complete with the recent razing of the old Ace Hardware store. Noak called attention to the fact that the project is being funded using tax increment financing funds. TIF funds, he said, are used specifically to bring activity levels up in the area through redevelopment. He also noted TIF funds do not come from personal property taxes, but commercial property

taxes only. He also explained TIF funds as a guaranteed revenue source that will allow the village to finance the bonds needed for the project in a bond issue that will be paid off in 12 years, essentially half the time if done without the TIF, resulting in less interest being paid as well. According to state law, TIF funds can be spent only within the TIF district. The law specifically indicates what

the funds can be used for. “New” revenues arise if new development takes place in the TIF district, or if the value of existing properties rises, resulting in higher tax bills. These funds can be spent on public infrastructure projects, or given as subsidies to encourage private development within the specific defined TIF District. The completion date for the new Athletic and Event Center is anticipated in December 2013.

Valley View teaching plan may cut positions By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The Valley View School District is considering replacing reading and special education paraprofessionals with certified teachers resulting in the dismissal of more than 100 personnel. Assistant Superintendent Sharon Hawks said the move is not coming from a cost savings measure but as a means to do what is best for the district’s students. She pointed to research indicating that students perform better under the instruction of reading teachers versus reading aides. In all, 32 reading aides will be replaced by 16 certified reading teachers (one for every two paraprofessionals) and 40 certified teachers would replace 81 special education aides. Superintendent Dr. James Mitchem said the district has made decisions to be student centered,keeping the children’s interest first,yet acknowledging such cuts are troublesome. “It is clear to building

principals and senior leadership that this is the right model to teach out students,” said Mitchem. “…But we can never proceed with systemic change without some gnashing of teeth. That is the process we are in. These changes are significant and uncomfortable but they are not easy, nor made in a vacuum. We feel for those that this impacts but we have make to these decisions with the best interests of students in mind.” Representative for the teacher’s union Victoria Sutterlin called on the district to scrutinize the data, urging them to look at it closely before making a decision and reminding them of how the move would be displacing individuals’ livelihood. In addition, a few parents called on the district to include their input, asking for further information regarding how the initiative would affect special education students. A vote on the matter is expected at the next school board meeting, March 25.

H o ro s c o p e s Two heads are better than one. If there is something to work on or someplace to go, be sure to take along a friend or a special someone. You will achieve twice as much with a partner this week.

People may offer you insincere assurances or promises they have no intention of keeping during the early part of the week, but those close to your heart won’t let you down if you need a helping hand.

For the best results, exert additional effort and make key decisions in the first half of the week. You might not use the best judgment and may rely on luck, but the truth is you are luckier than usual.

As a person born with the sun in Cancer, you are frequently sensitive to the lunar cycles. This week’s new moon in Pisces might ignite a desire for study or travel that shifts your focus for several weeks.

Maintain momentum. You should be able to coast along during the first half of the week. If someone asks for a favor, be wise and grant it, but don’t become greedy and ask for any for yourself.

Crazy cat ladies dine with dotty dog people. You may be thrown into contact with people who possess endearing foibles in the upcoming week. Maintain a respect for those with different lifestyles.

Don’t lose them at the first hello. In the week to come use your powers of attractiveness and charm to make people stand up and take notice. Crucial meetings should be scheduled early in the week.

When one door closes another one is sure to spring open. In the week ahead, rather than letting yourself become depressed about what has been lost, remember to rejoice in whatever has been found.

Please some of the people, not all of the people. Because of boundless optimism, you may bite off more than you can chew and regret it later this week. Wise planning is the key to success.

Stress free is the way to be. In the week to come, find ways to relax through meditation or a quiet walk. Don’t complicate a situation by overreacting if and when things don’t go your way.

Extravagance in thought and deed may be just what you need. During the upcoming week, people may urge you on, and drown out your hesitations just when assurance is needed the most.

When you are standing at the corner of love and infatuation, you must remember that whichever street you take may involve lasting responsibilities. In the week ahead, you must honor your commitments.

Three Spartans on All-Area team; Lumpkin POY By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When Jasmine Lumpkin decided to leave Montini after her sophomore season where she helped the Broncos win a Class 3A State Championship, she had two directions she could have gone and remained close to home. Lumpkin could have enrolled in public school and joined a Plainfield East team that already had one budding superstar in Faith Suggs and program that seemed on the verge of winning or she could have gone to Joliet Catholic Academy, where the Angels have had competitive teams, but have struggled to compete with the top teams in the tough East Suburban Catholic Conference. While her choice to attend JCA was mainly a family preference to attend a private school, Lumpkin also knew she would be joined on the basketball court by incoming freshman Nicole Ekhomu and she knew she had a chance to start something special. Not since the reign of the Quigley sisters in the early 2000s has the JCA girls team been able to make a name on the state level. This year, they did just that. Lumpkin averaged 17.4 points and 11.6 rebounds a game and

helped the Angels to their first regional title since 2006. “It was a great accomplishment to win the regional that had not been won since 2006,” Lumpkin said. “I was just looking to come in there and do whatever I could to make a big impact on the team, whether it was rebounding, scoring or whatever. I wanted to leave a mark this year, but next year we want to finish what we started as a team. “The Joliet Catholic students are big on getting behind their sports, but not really girls basketball, but they really supported us this year and that was great.” For all that she accomplished this season Lumpkin was named to the Illinois Basketball Association Coaches Association Class 3A/4A First team as well as the Class 3A Associated Press AllState first team. Lumpkin finished second in the voting for the Class 3A AP Player of the Year. Her efforts have also earned her the title of 2013 Voyager Media Player of the Year. “It is good to get the recognition,” Lumpkin said. “I have been working hard, so it is nice to see it pay off, but I can’t just settle for this. I have to keep working so I can keep winning for my team.” JCA coach Ed Schodrof is someone who knows of her selfless attitude on the floor.

“She obviously has skills,” Schodrof said. “But she is an extremely hard worker and she leads by example and that is what sets her apart. She is never arrogant and her teammates always want to play with her. She is very humble. She probably has 25 Division-I offers right now, but won’t talk about it unless you ask her.” Also on the first team are:

CARLIE CORRIGAN Corrigan, a senior from Plainfield North, totaled 488 points (18.7 per game) and averaged 8.2 rebounds per game for the Tigers. She finished her career with more than 1,200 points.

KIERA CURRIE Romeoville senior scored 502 points (16.2 per game) and averaged 9.3 rebounds. She also had 64 steals and 43 assists and shot 75.3 percent from the foul line. She is headed to GardnerWebb University. “Kiera is a tremendous young lady with an unbelievable competitive attitude,” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said.“Kiera is a great player who can play inside See ALL-AREA, page 14

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Kiera Currie is on the Voyager Media All-Area first team.

THE BUGLE MARCH 14, 2013

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 13 or out, has great body control and outstanding physical abilities. Kiera coming back and playing with us her last three years was a blessing and she has meant a lot to the young post players in the program, which she took under her wing this year.”

CHRISTEN PRASSE The St. Louis University-bound senior averaged 16.8 points per game for Benet. She also led the team with 79 assists, averaged 6.1 boards and had 27 blocks. Prasse added 62 steals and hit 37 threepointers, both second best on the team.

LIZ REHBERGER Resurrection coach Keith Miniscalco admits it’ll be tough to replace Rehberger, whom he says is a coach’s dream.

Second team AYSIA BUGG A transfer from Oswego East, Bugg emerged as a bona fide scoring threat for Bolingbrook this season, leading the team with a 16 point-per-game average. The 5-foot, 9-inch junior totaled 399 points, starting 25 consecutive games before an injury held her out of the sectional championship game against Neuqua Valley. She shot 48.1 percent from the field and was 27.8 percent from behind

the three-point line. “She had a great year for a kid coming into her first year in the program,” said Bolingbrook coach Tony Smith. “She was supposed to come in and knock down shots and she did what she was supposed to do.”

NIKIA EDOM Former Montini standout made an immediate impact with Plainfield East her senior year.The Murray State recruit averaged 15.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. She also contributed 70 steals and 59 assists.

NICOLE EKOHMU Freshman standout averaged 16.9 points per game in her first season of varsity basketball for Joliet Catholic Academy. She tallied a season-best 38 points in the Angels’ win over Fenwick.

JACQUI GRANT Grant capped her stellar fouryear varsity career by being name to the Associated Press’ Class 4A first-team All-State squad.

FAITH SUGGS A sophomore from Plainfield East, Suggs scored 13.4 points per game and pulled down 5.9 rebounds per game, while making 43 steals.

Third team SARAH COSTELLO The junior from Downers North tallied 13.3 points and 7.6

rebounds, to go along with 100 steals and 94 assists.

REGAN CARMICHAEL Carmichael had been a valuable performer off the bench for the Hawks each of the past two seasons, but became a fulltime starter for the first time her senior year and made the most of the opportunity. She was the Hawks’ second-leading scorer, averaging just under 12 points per game, as well as their secondleading rebounder. Carmichael also led the Hawks in steals (66) and assists (118). She’ll be playing Division I basketball next season at St. Louis University.

ABBY SMITH A four-year starter for Romeoville, Smith was an all-around player for the Spartans. She finished with 10.9 points and five rebounds per game, while leading the team with 149 assists and 96 steals. Smith is headed to McKendree University. “Abby is the definition of leader, this young lady has been my right hand for the past four years and has been a great influence on how the program has changed,” Carrasco stated.“When she came in four years ago we knew we had a good one and she did not disappoint. See ALL-AREA, page 15

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 14 “Her hard work and dedication will be missed and I know this young lady will be a tremendous success in whatever path she decides to take. She will definitely be missed by the coaching staff and the program.”

AMARAH COLEMAN Junior transfer from Neuqua Valley, Coleman averaged 12.7 points and a team best 127 assists (5.08 per game average) this season for Bolingbrook. Coleman showed the ability to score when needed and also lead the Raider offense. One of several returners coming back to help the Raiders next season, Coleman helped Bolingbrook to a sectional title, defeating her old teammates. “She is going to be one of the top point guards in the area next year,” Smith said. “She came into her own, knowing who should have the ball and knowing when it was her time to score and she did a great job of scoring when she needed to.”

LARISSA MCLEMEN Senior leader for the Minooka, the University of St. Francis-bound center averaged a team-best 11.6

points and 6.5 rebounds for the regional champion Indians. She was named to the All-Conference team as well as All Tournament at Oswego Holiday Tournament and Warhawk Thanksgiving Tournament.

Fourth team BERNASIA FOX Fox came out like gangbusters early in the season, sparking the Joliet Central offense to the tune of 13.8 points per game. The 5-foot, 6-inch senior also averaged 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1-2 assists per game prior to tearing her ACL in late December.

KAITLYN O’BOYE Senior from Plainfield North averaged 10.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. O’Boye will be playing at Illinois Wesleyan University next year.

ANGELICA OSUSKY T h e University of St. Francis r e c r u i t averaged 10.8 points per game and had 73 assists and 66 steals for regional champs Romeoville. She also led the team with 32 three-pointers.

“This young lady stepped up the past two years becoming our main three-point threat, this year she added to her game a phenomenal drive to the basket which helped her scoring average and the team,” Carrasco said. “This girl has put in the time and her hard work has paid off. There is never a play this young lady takes off, in practice or the game, and that attitude will push her to great successes in the future.”

EMILY SCHRAMEK Schramek,a sophomore,raised her game in her second year on varsity. She averaged 13.6 points and drained 20 three-pointers on the year on a 39 percent clip, while pulling down four boards per game.

GABBY WILLIAMS Plainfield East senior overcame an early season injury to average 11.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. “Gabby is the type of post player that demands attention in the paint and has dominated in games,” Mitidiero said. “Her drive to fight through an injury throughout the season has helped her team win some big games. Gabby has an ability to help lift her team with energy, rebounds and baskets.” Scott Taylor and Mike Sandrolini contributed

Voyager Prep Shootout set for this Sunday By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

For the fifth consecutive season, the basketball season for many seniors in the Voyager Media coverage area officially comes to an end at the Prep Shootout senior all-star game. As in years past, the girls game tips off at 5:30 p.m. and the boys game starts at 7 p.m. Cost for the game is $4 for adults and $2 for students with school ID. This season’s game moves to the University of St. Francis and will be played in the Sullivan

Center, marking the first time the game leaves a high school gym. There are also changes in the roster this year. While the South teams remain the same with Plainfield Central, Plainfield South, Plainfield East, Plainfield South, Minooka, Lockport, Joliet West, Joliet Central, Joliet Catholic Academy and Romeoville, the North team keeps its base of Bolingbrook, Maine South, Maine East, Downers Grove North, Downers Grove South, Benet, Westmont and Notre Dame and

adds Resurrection and Lisle as well as Northridge Prep, which recently joined the Voyager coverage schools. With all these great schools, fans are sure to see great basketball. The girls game features players like Associated Press Class 4A Honorable Mention Nikia Edom from Plainfield East as well as Kamari Jordan, who won the Class 4A three-point shootout and placed second in the IHSA Queen of the Hill. They are joined by top recruits Carlie Corrigan from

Plainfield North, who is heading to Southern Illinois UniversityCarbondale, Kiera Currie, who signed with Gardner-Webb University and Bolingbrook’s Kennedy Cattenhead who is headed to the University of Illinois. On the guys side, talent runs amuck again in 2013. Bolingbrook’s Ben Moore leads the North class, as he is headed to SMU next season to play for legendary basketball coach Larry Brown. He is joined by Westmont do-it-all athlete Jean Pietrzak and Downers

Grove North swingman Nick Norton. On the South side, Joliet West’s Morris Dunnigan provided arguably the state’s top highlight this season, when he dunked over Chicago Curie’s Cliff Alexander at the Pontiac Holiday Tournament and could bring that thunder to the Voyager Shootout. “He is joined on the South team by a few sharp shooters in JCA’s Ryan Peter and Plainfield South’s Alonzo Garrett.

Lewis women win GLVC basketball title The No. 21 Lewis University women’s basketball team was crowned the 2013 Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament Champions with a 76-61 victory over reining GLVC Champion

Maryville on Sunday (March 10) at the Ford Center.The Flyers earned their first confrence tournament title since the 2010-11 season. Sophomore Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./Bloomington

Central Catholic) and senior Sam Rinehart (Marion, Iowa/Marion) were named to the GLVC AllTournament Team while Reinhart earned Most Outstanding Player honors.

The Flyers improve to 24-5 on the season while the Saints close out the season at 19-10. Freshman Mariyah Henley (Skokie, Ill./Niles North) led all scorers with 18 points and nine rebounds while Reinhart chipped in 14 points and six rebounds. Junior guard Alexus Grayer (Washington, Ill./Washington) scored 13 points as Rinehart recorded her second doubledouble of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds. “I had envisioned that we would be able to run the floor and wear them out,” Lewis head women’s basketball coach Lisa

Carlsen said. “And that is what we did. It’s tough to play back-toback-to-back games and sustain your legs, shooting from the arc like Maryville does. “I think our transition and our ability to run the floor was the difference in the game in the second half.” The second-seeded Flyers take on the seventh-seeded UWParkside in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Midwest Regional, on March 15. Ashland University will host the regional at the Kates Gymnasium in Ashland, Ohio, as start times have yet to be announced.

Keeping sane in a workplace gone crazy Q. Seems to me that a lot of people in my workplace appear to be losing their minds these days. I try hard to find logical connections between what is happening and how people are reacting, but both coworkers and customers seem a little crazy. How can I keep my sanity when everybody around me seems to losing theirs? A. You can keep your sanity by understanding that you may not be able to control what is going on around you but you can definitely control how you react to what is going on around you. Most of our anxiety at work comes from trying to control situations that we actually have no control over. Some of us seem to believe that if we just worry hard enough, the stuff we worry about will be magically banished. The question you want to ask yourself immediately if your workplace seems crazy is, what do you actually have the power to control? Now make

sure you get all the information you can and take all the action you can in areas where you have power. In areas where you don’t have power, ask yourself a different question. The question when you lack influence is, what options do I have if the problems I worry about occur? Brainstorm as many options as you can, and linger long and hard on ways you could turn some of these problems into opportunities. We all tend to like our status quo because we feel reality is more controllable when it is predictable. Problems can often be gifts in disguise, however, because problems force us to expand our thinking to invent solutions. When you can’t just keep doing the same old thing at work, you’ll be forced to change. As long as you are going through the discomfort of change, you might as well get something good out of it like a cool opportunity.

Problems also force us to grow up. For instance, you may have had a hundred confusing conversations with your boss where she tells you you’re not a “team player.” You may have always felt insulted but never actually known what she meant. If you realize the power you have is to ask her to describe on a video screen what she wants, you might finally get that raise you’ve been eying. Human beings tend to improve, like chunks of coal, when they are put under pressure. Coal turns into diamonds, and human beings turn into resilient and creative adults. Sometimes the same pressure that makes one individual at work brilliant will crack another. You want to watch your coworkers and customers closely for the choices they

make when under pressure. Get closer to the people who take responsibility and mature. Create distance from those that get increasingly irrational and self-destructive.

Last word(s) Q. Is there any one skill set that will guarantee me the ability to land a job in our uncertain economy? A. Yes, the skill set of being able and enthusiastic to learn. People who can learn will also find grateful employers. Daneen Skube, Ph.D., executive coach, trainer, therapist and speaker, also appears as the FOX Channel’s “Workplace Guru” each Monday morning. She’s the author of “Interpersonal Edge: Breakthrough Tools for Talking to Anyone, Anywhere, About Anything” (Hay House, 2006).

DAVE Continued from page 17 thinking either.The car payments and the credit card debt are the same thing. They’re both debt payments, and you’re being charged interest on both of them. The only difference is that one is attached to a car and one’s not. It makes about as much sense as saying you like Visa better than MasterCard. Even if she has some strange hang-up about car depreciation, that argument doesn’t hold water either. Cars go down in value whether you borrowed money to buy them or not. A $20,000 vehicle will be worth $10,000 in just a few years no matter what you do. A car payment won’t keep it from depreciating or slow the rate of depreciation. Sometimes people get burned out or tired of paying the price to become debt-free. It can happen when you’ve been working on something for a while,and it seems like you’re never going to get there. Sit down and have a gentle, loving talk with your wife. Find out why she feels that way about the car payments and where the root of the problem really lies. She may just need some support and encouragement from the man in her life. Remind her how far you’ve come together on this journey, how close you are to winning, and how much you love her. You’re too close to making your financial dreams come true to stop now! —Dave

There’s a better option Dear Dave, I’m 23 years old, and I was in the military for five years. While serving I received what is now $2,700 in Series EE bonds. Should I keep them? Tammy Dear Tammy, If it were me, I’d cash them in and do my own investing with the money. Series EE bonds have a very low rate of return. They don’t pay much, and they’re not good long-term investments. They’re almost like keeping your money in a certificate of deposit over the long haul. —Dave Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.
