According to Village Manager Steve Gulden, public works and clerical employees will receive a 2 percent annual increase for the next three years and keep health insurance at the same level.

Additional minor changes include the

increase of probation time for dispatchers, considering the high-stress level nature of the job, and giving personnel additional opportunities to evaluate an individual.

“This is a status-quo contract and a winwin situation,” said Gulden.

Mayor John Noak thanked the union for working with the village.

“This just goes to show the quality of relationships we have and how important we are to each other,” said Noak. “We need to do right by our employees. In the end, we are all working toward the same common goal. AFSCME should be commended.”

Village Trustee Linda Palmiter agreed saying “this move just shows how dedicated our employees are to our residents.”

Local YMCA looks to future with new leader

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

The Greater Joliet Area YMCA is welcoming a new leader to the helm of its Will County ship.

James Watts has been hired as the organization’s new president and CEO, effective this week.

Watts is a Y veteran, with more than 30 years at the organization, and is working tirelessly to further its cause in a number of communities throughout the Midwest.

Prior to joining the Greater Joliet Area YMCA, Watts served as vice president of the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis. In this role, he provided leadership to four branches and oversaw a budget of $6 million. While in

Indianapolis,he was instrumental in the association’s fundraising initiatives, helping to secure $560,000 in capital gifts to fund an outdoor pool, as well as a $1 million donation from the United Way. Under his leadership, the Greater Indianapolis Y’s membership, program enrollment and retention all reached all-time highs.

Watts also managed the redesign and renovation of two wellness centers, and the development of the Indy Bike Hub YMCA, the first facility of its kind in YMCA history.

Prior to joining the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis,Watts spent more than two decades working for the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee, where he developed

the West Suburban YMCA’s Board of Managers, which was recognized for its excellence in Capital Development.

Additionally, he secured multiple endowment gifts, helped to raise nearly $1 million to fund a renovation of the West Suburban YMCA’s Lifestyle Center, and secured $1 million in grant funding over seven years to fund the Hart Park Senior Center for the City of Wauwatosa.

“We are very excited to welcome Jim to the Greater Joliet Area YMCA family,” said Gregory Peyla, Chairman of the Executive Board of Directors of the Greater Joliet Area YMCA.“We have been very impressed with Jim’s vast knowledge of the Y and his high level of professionalism. After

having conducted an extensive national search, we are confident that Jim’s innovative thinking and passion for our organization make him the ideal leader as we continue to advance the mission of the Y throughout Will and Grundy Counties.”

A native of Melrose Park, Watts began his career with the YMCA in 1981 at the Elmhurst YMCA, where he worked for six years. Originally drawn to the Y because of its mission, he found that it was the perfect job to combine a faith-based focus with his love for health and fitness. A true believer in the spirit of volunteerism, Watts has been active with local chapters of the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs and

volunteered for seven Hurricane Katrina relief trips with local churches and Samaritan’s Purse, an international relief organization.

The Greater Joliet Area YMCA has been serving families regardless of age, income or background - from throughout Will County and its surrounding areas for more than 80 years.

Across the nation,2,687 locations engage 21 million men, women and children to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the nation’s health and well-being, and provide opportunities to give back and support neighbors.

Home kitchens get OK for farmers markets

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff reporter

As the weather warms and village events kick into gear, towns across the area are preparing for the weekly tradition of the farmer’s market.

This year, the array of items for sale could grow, as new laws allow for prepared foods to be sold at the popular seasonal events.

The Cottage Food Operation Law allows for home bakers and jelly makers to sell their wares at farmers markets as part of the cottage food industry. Such prepared items were previously not allowed to be sold by home cooks except at a yard sale or

during a fundraiser.

The measure allows people to sell home-baked “non potentially hazardous food,” like cookies, breads, and cakes, as well as some jams and preserves, all which have been deemed to have a low risk of transmitting a food borne illness.

“The best way to celebrate Illinois’ agricultural strength is by making it easier for Illinois residents to buy fresh foods and support farmers and local economies,” Governor Quinn said. “Farmers’ markets allow us to buy fresh, healthy produce and other homemade goods directly from the people who make them, and this legislation will enable those business owners to

sell directly to consumers while making sure safety standards are consistent for all markets throughout the state.”

Until now in Illinois, baked goods sold as part of a business have to be prepared in a kitchen that passes a state health inspection. In most cases, people who want to sell their own homemade baked goods have to rent or purchase a commercially certified kitchen.

The legislation requires people to have a food sanitation license, and it states that they must clearly label goods that are prepared in a home.

Additionally, income from the cottage food industry is limited by the state law to no more than

$25,000 in gross receipts for the calendar year.

“Purchasing from and promoting local food producers will not only lead us to healthier eating habits and lifestyles,” said Lt. Governor Sheila Simon, ”but also boost our economy and create sustainable jobs.”

Small business consultant Susan O’Hara says the measure will not only allow current Farmer’s Market vendors to deepen their offerings, and their profits, but also provide budding entrepreneurs a venue to develop a customer base before making a significant investment in overhead.

“Opening a bakery or any food preparation facility can

be an expensive task, not to mention all the inspections and paperwork involved in the process,” O’Hara said. “This new law will let home cooks get their feet wet with a small investment of time and money, and little risk, before deciding if the business is a good choice.”

Farmer’s markets are offered from May through September across the Will County area through villages, cities and chambers of commerce.

Hearings upcoming for electrical aggregation

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The next step in achieving cheaper electric rates begins with the first of two public hearings on the subject to be held on Monday, April 16.

Last month,Will County voters chose to band together in what is the largest aggregate group to come together in Illinois to purchase electricity at a cheaper rate, and approved a referendum to allow communities to pursue such an option.

However, there are still steps each municipality must go through before that savings will be realized, including adopting a

plan of operation and governance and then essentially going out for bid to solicit electrical supply.

Following through with the next step, a joint public hearing will be held by the villages of Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont, and Downers Grove, at 7 p.m. on April 16 at Woodridge Village Hall, 5 Plaza Drive Woodridge.

According to a public notice, under the opt-out program, the villages would procure competitive pricing on behalf of eligible accounts. Once an alternative power company is chosen by bid, all applicable accounts would be moved.

However, individual customers

would have the option to opt out of the aggregation for whatever reason.

The purpose of the hearings is to obtain input on this plan for residents and small businesses within of Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont and Downers Grove. A copy of the proposed plan is available for review at the Village Hall of each community during regular business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Written and oral comments also will be accepted.

Nearly 135,000 households stand to benefit from the passed referendum and there still remains the potential for others

Drop off household hazardous waste

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Looking to unload half-full cans of paints, dispose of leftover fertilizer, and comply with the new law that does not allow for electronics to be placed in the trash?

In a free event open to all Will County residents, a household hazardous waste collection event and electronics collection will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, April 14, in the Spartan Square parking lot located one block south of

Normantown Road and Route 53 in Romeoville.

Bring unwanted household chemicals such as oil-based paint, stains and varnishes, along with oil, antifreeze, old gasoline, brake fluid, pesticides, fertilizers, cleaning products, and more to the one-day collection event.

Mercury and most mercury containing items are accepted.

Other items include: pool chemicals,rechargeable batteries, lead-acid batteries, compact fluorescent lights, aerosol products, and lawn chemicals.

Electronic items such as

laptops, computers, televisions, VCRs, DVDs, speakers, digital clocks, and video game players will also be accepted.

For a complete list of all items, visit www.romeoville.org or www.willcountygreen.com.

Will County offers four or more one-day household hazardous waste collection events each year. According to the county, these events are meant to give residents local options to dispose of toxic or flammable chemicals in a safe and secure manner. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

to come on board.

According to the Will County Government League, electrical aggregation allows local governments to bundle residential and small commercial retail electric accounts and seek bids for a cheaper supply of power. Currently, ComEd customers receive electricity at a price set each year by the Illinois Power Agency, a governmental body that secures electricity on the wholesale market on behalf of ComEd. By bundling residential and small commercial accounts, municipalities can go out into the open market to seek a lower rate for electrical supply.

The sole purpose of electric

aggregation is to save residents money of the supply side of their electric bill. Savings may start to be seen as early as August.

Residents have the opportunity to opt out of the program and will be notified in writing of their options. For those municipalities that passed the referendum, residents who do not opt-out of the program will be automatically enrolled. If a resident wants to participate, he or she does not have to do anything to join.

Another public hearing will be held, at 6 p.m. on April 18, at 1050 Romeo Road, Romeoville, for Romeoville residents. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Forum Guest Columnist

From the Desk of Rep. Jim Sacia How are things in Springfield, Jim? Are we moving in the right direction? If I had a quarter for each time I’ve been asked those questions, I’d have enough money to take Jenny out for a nice dinner. The answers are – good and absolutely. More than any time in my ten years in this office, I see such positive efforts to fix a very difficult situation.

Last week I attempted to simplify the complexity of our $58 billion budget and the income we anticipate from you.

The most important aspect of that column, it was not “pie in the sky.” Both the House of Representatives and our State Senate have agreed that the “line in the sand” is that all the available money coming into our state coffers from you the taxpayers is $33,719,000,000.

This is Amendment 2 to House Resolution 706, and it is identical to House Joint Resolution (HJR) 69 which is concurred to by the Senate.

Once again this year, and not surprising, the governor’s office is in opposition as they believe that more money will become available. The resolutions are also opposed by the Illinois Policy Institute (which surprises me), the Illinois Association of

Rehabilitation Facilities, Planned Parenthood and SEIU (Service Employees International Union) (which doesn’t surprise me).

Many organizations expect to be fully funded no matter how much money is available. Many of you would like to obtain things, but if no money is available, you know you’ll have to tighten your belt for at least another year.

I’ve arrived at the point I want to make –the house and senate will allocate no more money than $33,719,000,000. If more money comes in we can pay down past due bills (now approximately $8 billion). The real good news is for the first time in many years (at least ten), we stand to spend less than our income.

Recently, walking into the Freeport Farm and Fleet, a gentleman I know well said to me, “Jim, you’ve got to quit writing nice things about Chicago Democrats, I’m starting to think you are going over to the other side.”

I’m just very proud of how so many of us are coming, perhaps begrudgingly, to consensus.

As the old saying goes,“it’s not over until the fat lady sings” on May 31st. It will be a tough two months but it must happen.

Volunteers hitting the streets for Candy Days

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The allure of the jelly bean doesn’t have to disappear with the Easter Bunny. Nor does the giving and peaceful sentiment of the season.

Soon, you will see volunteers handing out Jelly Belly beans in thanks for a donation to Misericordia during the upcoming 27th annual Candy Days from sunrise to sunset on April 27 and April 28 throughout the area.

Founded in 1921,Misericordia— which means “heart of mercy” in Latin—is a community of care for more than 600 children and adults with mild to profound developmental disabilities. They are persons of all races, religions and creeds and socio-economic backgrounds.

Misericordia’s programs include residential placement and day-to-day support, employment opportunities, physical and speech therapy,

social and recreational outings, health and fitness activities, and opportunities for spiritual growth.

State funding only covers a portion of Misericordia’s needs to operate. This year, Misericordia must raise $14 million for program costs not covered by the government. In addition, Misericordia raises funds for construction projects in order to welcome some of the 500 individuals on its waiting list.

To date, Misericordia has completed its seventh home in the neighboring community and four additional homes on its campus in Chicago. The organization has started and with donations hopes to expand an outreach program for children with disabilities and their families.

For volunteers like 91-year-old Chris Kutselas, Candy Days are an opportunity to give back to a place that made a world of difference for his daughter, who needed the

fyi Misericordia is looking for volunteers.To help, visit www.misericordia.org or call 773-273-2768. services of Misericordia.

Misericordia operates on a 31acre campus setting, offering a home for those that need it,offering opportunities while teaching skills for those with disabilities to live as independently as possible.Twenty percent of Misericordia’s residents either come from families living in poverty, or are without a family and are wards of the State.

For Kutselas, the people at Misericordia are family and are why he has been volunteering for more than 25 years, and has become a champion coordinator for Candy Days.

“This is a good cause—you have to visit this place and see what it is like and what they have built,” said Kutselas. “It’s my way of giving back for what they have given my

family. It is a wonderful home.You have to see just how amazing they treat everyone.”

In a time when state services are being cut, and services for the disabled are notoriously circumspect, Misericordia stands out as a leader in its services, lending both compassion and physical support to all that need it, Kutselas explained.

“Anyone that comes to Misericordia gets the care that they are suppose to get, and beyond,” said Kutselas.

A couple of hours are all it takes to make a difference, say organizers. Thousands of volunteers are needed throughout Chicago and its suburbs to work on the streets and in storefronts collecting donations.

“It is important to volunteer for Misericordia Candy Days because it is a win-win for everyone,” said Assistant Executive Director Lois Gates.“The funds raised go directly to the programs to enhance quality life at Misericordia, home to over 600 children and adults with developmental disabilities.

The person volunteering feels good knowing that they are making a significant difference and witnesses to the good people of Chicago and the suburbs that all children and adults have a right to life in a beautiful and loving environment.”

For more information on the organization, how to help or to make a donation visit www. misericordia.org. You also can text “MIS” to 25383 to make a $5 donation. The Jesse Marymont and Lauren Rafferty Families will match 100 percent of all texted donations this year. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Life has no remote control, so you have to get up and change it yourself. You may be inspired by the religious holiday message to do better in the week to come. Follow your dream this week, but not too far.

Fantasies are but tiny rowboats next to ocean liners of reality.

The Easter message of new growth and life may inspire you to begin something new in the week ahead. Be sure your ideas are reasonable.

Don’t keep all your Easter eggs in one basket. You can’t count on any one source of revenue to be the only way to sustain your hobbies and interests. In the week ahead, consider other viable options.

Travel light. Don’t carry too much emotional baggage around in the week ahead - and don’t be tricked by your own gullibility, either. The lure of a fake carrot gives others a way to use you for their own purposes

You can make key decisions by playing rock, paper, scissors - or you can wait for better timing.

Avoid making major financial decisions or purchases in the week ahead, as the results can be unpredictable.

When the circumstances around you speed up, you need to slow down. By taking your time, you can keep your balance, solve problems, regroup and find peace. Avoid confrontations in the week ahead.

Fake it until you make it. During the week to come, you might be placed in a situation in which people think you are better or more adept than you really are.

Work hard to earn the misplaced admiration.

Put some shine on the apple. If you are going to give a gift to the teacher or share the fruits of your labors, be sure to do it in the most particular way. Be particularly precise in the week ahead.

Keep theories straight this week. Music, mythology, Einstein and astrology, according to a TV show theme song, all started with the big bang theory. Your reality could revolve around other premises.

Dip your toe in the pool of possibilities. In the week ahead, you should pay strict attention to verifiable information. If you take careful notes, you may be able to formulate excellent plans.

Industrial customers may soon see water rate relief

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Progress continues in the attempt for local villages to move away from its reliance on Illinois American Water and form its own water agency in efforts to bring down escalating water rates.

Bolingbrook and the surrounding communities have been involved in a lengthy battle with the company, incensed by what it calls IAW’s unending rate increases. A complicated move

by Bolingbrook and its neighbors continues as legislation is passed that allows the group to pursue a water agency that could push control of the water system out of the hands of IAW. For the past two years, the communities have been studying the feasibility of acquiring the Lake Michigan Water Pipeline from American Water Company, a subsidiary of Illinois American Water.

CALENDAR Continued from page 9 Tuesday of every month. All meetings are open to the public, and visitors are welcome.

The villages of Bolingbrook, Homer Glen, Woodridge, Romeoville and Lemont made an agreement late last year to establish a municipal joint action water agency “to provide adequate supplies of water on an economical and efficient basis for members’ municipalities.”

According to Bolingbrook Village Attorney Jim Boan, the five communities gave IAWC an opportunity to offer a proposal regarding any type of rate freezes, a rollback, or stabilization for the communities that would warrant them to avert the formation of the agency.

“There was no progress,” said Boan.“The group asked for them to address the local rate increase issue. Their solution was to say that they had filed a petition with the ICC to consolidate all of the Chicago Metro rate structures into a single tariff.The group indicated that that would not assist us locally with any rate

relief.”

Key to continuing the push to create its own water system is whether or not the move would be cost effective. Because the feasibility study the group conducted was nearly two years old, the group decided to have the study updated to ensure costs would still be lower.

According to Boan, the “study still indicates that the acquisition could pay for itself without a rate increase.”

Boan said the group asked the consultants to formalize their figures and recommendations for a presentation to be made to the group in May. No May meeting date was set as of yet.

Such a move in Romeoville would affect only a small number, some 24 industrial customers, and does not affect any residential customers within Romeoville. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Ford gearing up for a state title

By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

Perez Ford has been carrying momentum for the past year.

Last year he was a state finalist in the 100-meter dash and he had a strong indoor season in the winter.

BOYS TRACK Now it’s time for him to take it back outside for his senior season, and he is ready to give it his all.

“I signed with NIU and they don’t have a track team, so I decided to go all out,” Ford said.

“I will see where things go. One thing I did was I kept my weight from the end of the year last year and just got stronger.”

“He has trained pretty hard,” Romeoville coach Scott Harper said. “It’s starting to pay off. He’s doing well.”

In the shot put, Ford hopes to continue to improve after missing out on state last year.

“By the end of the year I want to throw 57 (feet),” Ford stated.

“After three years of doing it, I have the form. I just need to put the power into it.”

Making it to state last year in the 100 should help give him the confidence to do it again, and then some, this year. “(Going to state last year) helped give me some experience,” Ford said. “I think I can take a lot of time off. I feel a lot more comfortable at my weight. I’m already on pace and am PRing in a lot of events. My goal is to be state champ in the shot put and the 100 and to place in the 200 and the discus.”

“It’s going to be a very competitive season,” Harper said. “We have guys in our area who are ranked in the nation in sprints and the shot put and he will have to go up against them week in and week out. We’ll see how it plays out.”

Among those strong area challengers in the sprints is Dantrell Wright from Plainfield South.The fellow senior was neckand-neck with Ford throughout the conference season and at sectionals last year.

“I just want to prove that I am faster than him,” Ford said.

“Everyone thinks he’s faster than me, I just want to prove them Scott Taylor/Bugle staff

State returners lead Spartans

By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

Romeoville has some state experience returning to help new coach Ted Rellstab.

Rellstab spent the past eight years with the boys track team before taking over this year for Adam Rio.

GIRLS TRACK “I’ve always wanted to be a head coach,” Rellstab said.

“There is a lot of talent on the girls team. I want to share my knowledge to make them better athletes.”

Another change this year is the look of the sprint relay teams that have made it to state the past two years. After the season ended last year, all four were expected to return, but only two are back this

year, as Latasha Fizer and Anna Skowron did not come out.

Still, expect them to compete for another trip to state.

“We have some very quality runners to replace them,” Rellstab stated. “I don’t think we will skip a beat when it comes to our relays. The past few years the relays have carried the team and we have the experience in Kaitlyn Hammock and Colleen Lilly who have run on the relays.

We’re going to look for them to lead the relays.”

“We have Angel Jones from Bolingbrook and she’s pretty good,” Hammock said. “She keeps up with me pretty good.

Josie Bell is another one. She wants to step up for the better of our relay team.We’re looking pretty good. I try to keep the See SPARTANS, page 18

Romeoville looks for SPC improvement

By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

There may be some different faces hitting the courts for Romeoville this spring, but the group appears to be hungry.

BOYS TENNIS

Scott Taylor/Bugle staff

Rich Jett is the leading returner for Romeoville.

“It will be an interesting team,” Romeoville coach George Joyce said. “I have a lot of returning players and a lot of new players.

It’s a mixed group of guys. I’m very pleased with what I’ve seen so far. I think we are a stronger team than we are last year. Rich (Jett) has improved a lot since last year. He will likely move up to first or second singles this year and was 5-0 in conference last year.”

“I definitely have more experience coming into this season,” Jett said. “I practiced a lot over the summer. I think we’ll have a lot better season than we had last year. Everyone is more dedicated this season I want to win more matches than we did last year.”

Moving up in the lineup will

lead to some more difficult competition, but Jett feels likes he is up for the challenge.

“I have to just play my game, just like I did last year,” Jett stated.

“I’m hitting a little harder this year. I just have to do what I know how to do. I know I’m going to have some tough competition this year, but hopefully I can pull out some wins.”

He is going to need to be consistent this year in order to have a successful season.

“Consistency is going to be my big thing this year,” Jett said.

“I have to be consistent every game. I want to come out and play the best tennis I’ve played yet. I think I can finish in the top half of the conference as long as I keep working hard.”

Also returning to the team after not playing last year is Eddie Alfaro.

“Eddie Alfaro is back, he was No. 1 singles two years ago, but didn’t play last year,” Joyce said.

“I know him and Rich will battle out for that top singles spot. We are looking strong at singles.”

Petty named MIVA Player of the Week Lewis University junior outside hitter Jay Petty (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North) was named the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Offensive Player of the Week on Monday (April 9). It’s his third MIVA Offensive Player of the Week honor this season.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL Petty helped the 9th ranked Flyers lock up a pair of pivotal league wins by averaging 5.86 points, 4.57 kills, 1.14 aces and hitting .426 in wins over Quincy and Ball State. In Tuesday’s win over Quincy, Petty dominated all players with a match-high 15 kills and a .667 (15-1-21) attack percentage. He also served up a program record seven aces in the match. On defense he collected five digs, a block and a .917 (11for-12) reception percentage.

In Friday’s win over Ball State, Petty turned in another strong offensive display, racking up 17 kills and a .300 (17-5-40) hitting

The relays aren’t the lone strength of the team as the throwers are set up to have a great year.

“We have a returning state qualifier in Jashmine Jones,” Rellstab said. “She’s off to a pretty good start. We have another shot putter in Shannon Henesly and this is her first year competing. She has already gone 38-2, which puts her as one of the top girls in the state so far. We’re looking pretty good in the throwing events.”

“It was a great week for the guys to get back on track,” Lewis head coach Dan Friend said. “Jay was a big component of helping that process and you saw that in his numbers.”

Petty enters the week ranked fifth in the MIVA with a .311 hitting percentage, while his .339 mark in league-only matches is seventh.

Petty also ranks third in MIVA-only competition with a 4.22 kills-perset average.

The Flyers are 21-6 on the season with a 7-3 record in the MIVA. Lewis hosts Grand Canyon on Friday and Saturday evening at Neil Carey Arena. A pair of wins would give Lewis a share of the 2012 regular season MIVA title.

for 16th on day one.

The Flyers are next in action on April 15-17 at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship held at the Country Club of Paducah in Paducah, Ky.

Lewis men’s golf finished the second and final day of the Great

Lakes Regional #4 on Monday (April 9) afternoon with a team score of 318. Thanks to a first day 321, Lewis’ total score of 639 gave the Flyers a 14th place finish in the 25-team tournament held at Purgatory Golf Club.

Junior Brandon White (Sellersburg, Ind./Silver Creek) shot a 78 for the second straight day. His 156 total tied him 28th.

Junior Harrison Carmichael (Bloomington, Ind./Edgewood/ Danville CC) improved his day one 82 by eight strokes to fire a 74 and tie White for 28th.

Freshman Eric Lederman (Downers Grove, Ill./Montini Catholic) tied for 48th with a total score of 158 (76-82).

Sophomore Dan Petrarca (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln Way-East) tied for 114th with a 172 (85-87).

Sophomore E.J. Luna (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield Central) also totaled a 172. He shot an 84 on day two after an 88 on Sunday.

level as freshmen is nice. I know they both played at least two years competitively in club tennis. They are ready for the varsity level already.”

Expectations are tempered for the Spartans until they see just what they can do against fellow Southwest Prairie Conference foes.

“We definitely have smaller goals,” Joyce said. “As a team we

want to finish in the top six in the conference, that would be a two position jump from last year.

Last year we didn’t win any dual matches and this year we would like to win two. We would also like to improve our finishes in some of our tournaments. Small increments from last year is what is realistic and something that the kids would be proud of.”

It helps to be outside quite

often thanks to some great weather so far this spring.

“Going outside and participating in weather we are going to see throughout the year is huge for everybody,” Joyce said. “It has been nice and warm, but it’s also been windy. We’re going to be playing in a lot of win, especially in morning meets. It is all stuff they can use as experience.”

In a triangular to open the

Spartans are to keep the pipeline going for state qualifiers, and it would be an upset not to see a representative there.

“I want to make it to state again,” Hammock stated. “I think it would be cool because we have something to prove since we have a couple new girls. Jashmine and Shannon, the two throwers, look good.

And Skyler Brandlin in the jumps was real close to state last year and I hope this year she makes it.”

While making it to state would be nice, there are bigger goals than that this year for Romeoville.

“We want to try to get as many qualifiers as we can for the state meet,” Rellstab said. “We want to be competitive in our conference meet, but I want to

make bigger aspirations for the girls. They’ve qualified for the state meet, but they haven’t been able to run in the finals.

That’s what we want to do.”

The Spartans got off to a strong start in their outdoor campaign by winning the Stagg Invitational March 31.

Bison may be headed to Wilmington

By Dan Stefanich

Could be in Will County,Illinois in the near future. Officials recently announced a plan that includes the introduction of a herd of bison to the Midewin Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.

The initial herd could include up to 75 bison managed on 1,000 acres. But they could expand the area and the size of the herd over time.

Most of the Midewin property is comprised of open prairie, grassland, savannah and some timber along several creeks — perfect habitat for bison.

According to the plan, they will be completely fenced in for public safety. Eventually there may be observation platforms and a 12-mile tram where the public can come safely view the bison. The plan could take up to 5 years before it comes to fruition.

Located about 40 miles south of Chicago, Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie has over 20,000 acres with 7,200 acres and 22 miles of trails open to the public for hiking, biking, horseback riding and hunting.

The property is also rich in history. It was formerly home to the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant that produced TNT and various munitions during WWII, the Korean War, and Vietnam Conflicts and at one time employed 12,000 people.Certain areas have trails where visitors can actually walk inside the bunkers where the ammunition was once stored. Midewin is actually part of the Federallymanaged National Forest System, and was the very first official

National Tallgrass Prairies to be established in the country. The master plan has always been to restore the property to it’s native state of open grasslands and prairie. What better way to restore a natural prairie than with bison — a majestic symbol of the Great American Prairies.

Spring Turkey Season is Here . . . AT LAST The 2012 Illinois turkey season opens this weekend starting with the Youth Turkey Season, April 7th and 8th. Kids 16 and under are eligible to hunt as youths.

Youth Turkey Hunting Permits are STILL AVAILABLE OVER THE COUNTER! For participating counties only. Get more information here.

The “regular” seasons for permit holders in the Northern Zone are: •1st season- April 14th • 2nd season- April 21st • 3rd season- April 27th • 4th season- May 3rd • 5th season- May10th

Mushrooms are Poppin’ Early Due to a mild winter, morels started growing about three weeks early this year. The little greys have been up for about a week now, and the yellows won’t be far behind.

Get out and start looking NOW, or all you may find are litte cut stumps (where a morel USED to be)!

Bison may soon be grazing at Midewin Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.

Cottonwood stands, dead elms, and apple orchards are some of our favorite places to look.

2012 Illinois Trout Season Opens The 2012Trout season officially opens this Saturday, April 7th, at 5 am. This year, the IDNR has stocked over 60,000 rainbow

Links Report It was a typical Easter Sunday at the Masters.

You could cut the tension with a knife as several players had a crack at the green jacket.

The best part of it all was that in the end, the tournament was won, not lost, just like the past few years.

Bubba Watson needed four straight birdies on the back nine to force a playoff and from there used an incredible hook shot off the pine needles to win the tournament on the second playoff hole.

And it wasn’t like Luis Oosthuizen gave it to him.

He had a double eagle on the second hole to take a two-shot lead and made his only bogies of the day shortly after. He made clutch putt after clutch putt on the back nine to stay in the lead.

There were other charges throughout the day as Matt Kuchar and Lee Westwood missed some short putts and Phil Mickelson had a disastrous six on the par-3 fourth hole that he couldn’t recover from.

In the end it was great theatre for the fourth straight year and continues to live up to my billing (and many others) as the greatest tournament of the year.

It was great to see Bubba break through and win his first major of his career and get the monkey off his back as so many others are still looking for their first. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Poor sleep, snoring may indicate sleep apnea We spend a third of our life sleeping but how much do we really know about it? You know if you slept well or slept poorly.

You may recall your dreams.

However, you can relate very little of a night’s sleep. You can vividly tell your doctor about specific pains, concerns, maladies, and troubles that inhabit your wake time hours but the best you can relate about sleep is the indirect effects it has on wakefulness. If you wake up feeling tired and your energy level is low, or if you have frequent daytime drowsiness you can presume that you have a sleep problem.

Unfortunately you probably have no insight into the problem or its causes. Your family and intimates are much more likely to know of your problem than you are. In

fact, they are often aware of an obvious problem to which you are clueless at best, and deny at worst. Do you snore? Does your spouse or partner tell you that you snore?

Sleep Medicine as a medical discipline was established in the late 1970’s. It has become increasingly important in routine medical care over the past twenty years. Over several occasional articles I will discuss some of the current sleep issues.

Of these issues, sleep apnea is probably the best known.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea has two major types. The first type is caused by abnormalities in the brain stem that control sleep and breathing. The second type is caused by factors in the nose and throat that cut off the air supply while sleeping. The second type is more common and is usually referred to as OSA. Twenty six percent of the adult population is thought to be at high risk for OSA. It increases in frequency through your 20’s to

your 50’s and then tends to level off after age 65. There is a racial preference for African-Americans over Whites and Asians whose risks are similar. OSA is twice as common in males than in females.Two other common risk factors are obesity and airway anatomy. Tobacco use increases your risk three-fold.

Sleep apnea occurs when breathing in while sleeping causes negative pressures in the upper airway. The negative pressure results in a collapse of the surrounding soft tissues. The airway closes and air can’t get in. If the collapse is incomplete, some air gets by. The tissues vibrate and snoring occurs.

Snoring is the best-known symptom of OSA but it is not the only one. If no air gets by, you stop breathing and apnea occurs.

Particularly severe apnea episodes will cause a person to awaken abruptly with a sense of choking, gasping for air, or a sense of asphyxiation. This is because the person is actually choking. This

Dealing with adolescent acne QUESTION: Hey Sondra, my 14-yearold daughter is having a problem with acne. The more products we try, her acne seems to get worse.

She seems to be getting very withdrawn because of it. Do you have any suggestions on helping get her acne under control?

ANSWER: Unfortunately, most of us have gone through those dreadful teenage years where a bad breakout of pimples would create a negative self-image.

You must remind your daughter this is only temporary, and with the right skin care regimen, her acne should be manageable.

Luckily, today there is more of an understanding of what causes acne, and techniques to fight acne, through prevention and good skin care.

The first line of defense in

fighting acne is to understand exactly how pimples are formed.

Deep inside your skin are hair follicles. Inside each follicle is an oil gland, which produces sebum.

Should this follicle become clogged a pimple is formed.

Stress is the number one cause of acne, followed by hormones, improper diet and drying out your skin from dehydration and the use of harsh products on the face. These causes don’t actually cause the pimple, but facilitate the oil gland to create more sebum. Creating a better chance for the follicle to become clogged thus creating a pimple.

A good skin care regimen is a must in getting rid of acne. A gentle acne-formulated soap should be used to wash the face both morning and night,followed by a light acne-formulated moisturizer. Make sure to use lukewarm water, and gently pat the skin dry. Every morning after the moisturizer is applied, make sure to apply an SPF of 15 or higher.

It’s important to exfoliate the face at least twice a week after

cleansing. This is important to all skin types. What exfoliating does is to slough off dead skin cells, preventing the follicles from becoming clogged. An inexpensive and effective way to do this is by using a baking soda exfoliate. Simply mix baking soda and water into a paste, gentle massage the mixture in a circular motion on the face.

Rinse thoroughly. Follow by a skin-calming mask. There are two masks great for acne prone skin. The first, being whipped egg whites, with a dash of lemon juice. Do not use if you’re allergic to eggs. Simply apply to face with a cotton ball, leave on for 10 minutes, rinse and pat dry, and proceed with moisturizer. If you’re allergic to eggs, or simply find it to messy, a store bought clay mask can be used.

A healthy diet has a lot to do with keeping the skin in good shape. Vitamins C, E and omega 3’s are important to skin health.

Eating plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts will See ACNE, page 22

always and obviously results in disturbed sleep. Most of the other symptoms of OSA relate to poor sleep: fatigue, daytime drowsiness, poor concentration etc.

The diagnosis of OSA can be made by a sleep study.While you are sleeping, a small monitor on the finger or earlobe measures continuous oxygen levels. Other monitors check for air movement and obstruction. A diagnosis of, as well as the specific type of OSA can usually be made by this technique. However, it can only be done while you are sleeping. The test is usually done in a sleep lab but simpler home monitoring kits have also been developed.

The usual treatment for OSA is some form of positive pressure being administered to the upper airway to hold it open. A facial mask with flowing oxygen is the typical mechanism. Newer apparatus are much less obtrusive and can occasionally be limited to the nose instead of

the nose and mouth.

Doctor’s Rx: If your spouse or partner has moved to another bedroom because of snoring, or if you awaken with a sensation of choking or similar symptoms, please be professionally evaluated. At the minimum, stop smoking and lose excess weight.

Not only will you feel better, be more alert, and have more energy, you will greatly decrease your risk of death.

Sleep apnea increases your allcause risk of mortality by three to six-fold and should be taken very seriously.

Real Estate & Business

Is there a fast track to success in business world?

Q. I’ve been working in my field for about 10 years and am frustrated at my slow progress.

I keep reading in books and magazines about clever people who leaped over obstacles on a fast track to success. Is there a secret to getting to the top quickly?

A. No, the business myth that a journey of a thousand steps starts with one grand, brilliant leap forward is just not true. The truth is that overnight success take years of time and patience.

Of course, the promise of overnight success sells countless books and makes certain

ACNE Continued from page 21 naturally supply the skin with these nutrients. Adding a daily supplement of Cod Liver oil has been known to get rid of acne. Drinking lots of water will prevent the skin from becoming dehydrated.

Avoid foods containing sugar and white flour, fried foods and carbonated drinks.

Here are some other important tips in preventing acne. Don’t touch your face; fingertips have a lot of bacteria on them, which can cause a follicle to become clogged. Wipe cell phones off

speakers very popular on the business lecture circuit. Anyone who wants to appear magical, superhuman and limitless can skip over the “hard work, time consuming” part of their success and brag they zoomed to the top.

The trouble isn’t that people will lie about the reality of how they arrived at their achievement.

The trouble is other people want to believe the lie so badly that they accept these fairy tales about success.

What I see in my executive coaching practice is that new clients have often been profoundly demoralized by hearing these false tales of accomplishment. My clients compare themselves with these tall tales and just give up.

So let me say this once and

with antibacterial cloths. Use water base or mineral powder cosmetics.Always use disposable cosmetic applicators. When showering always shampoo and condition hair first, the coating formulated to condition hair will leave a film on skin.

Should you see that your daughter’s acne is not getting better, or seems to be getting worse make sure to take her to see a Dermatologist.

very clearly: Success takes hard work, tough tradeoffs and a long time to achieve. If you really want to achieve a goal at work, you must know what you want (specifically), you must know the price to obtain it, and you must be willing to pay the price.

There is no magical shortcut to success, no matter how many false stories you might hear.

Once you accept that even talented, smart and inspired human beings have to put their pants on one leg at a time, you can put a realistic map together for your dream. Start out by using what I call the “mosquito strategy” for success. Consider the smallest step you can take and be willing to start there.

If you want to write the great American novel, take a writing class or write for your

neighborhood newsletter. If you want to be a CEO, volunteer to lead a community group with a cause you support. If you want to start your own business, pay the people who are most respected in your field an hourly fee to give you advice.

None of these “mosquito” steps will bring you overnight achievement, but they all will lay the ground work for you to plan an effective campaign to get from where you are to where you want to be.

The ironic secret about success is that people who get realistic, are willing to do the hard work, and think smaller (not grander) are more likely achieve some version of their dreams. There is a personal tragedy for people who stall out in the workplace just because they believed some

blowhard who wanted to look impressive at the expense of the truth.

The last word(s) Q. Is there one top tip you teach your clients to make them successful at work?

A. Yes, learn to behave well when you feel badly.
