After nearly a year, Valley View teachers accept new contract By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

fter a long process and several proposals, Valley View School District 365u teachers approved a contract allowing for a 2 percent salary increase while accepting higher insurance premiums. In a vote, passed with a margin of 155 votes, the teachers passed essentially a one-year contract that is effective immediately and See CONTRACT, page 2

THE BUGLE MAY 23, 2013

CONTRACT Continued from page 1 will expire June 30 2014. For nearly a year, teachers have been working without a contract. The majority of the 1800 certified and classified

members of the district voted down previous proposals, marking the first time members rejected a contract in nearly a decade. While both union representatives and district officials have said their relationship is open and noncombative, the two groups

News sought mediation. A new proposal was then brought to the teachers May 15 and was accepted. “I want to thank the leaders on the union side and the teachers for coming to an agreement,” said School Board President Steve Quigley.“It was a long drawn out process, but

it is a process. I am excited that the contract has passed and that we are being understood in these financial times. According to Union Representative Vicky Sutterlin, the proposed contract covers two years for salary (2012 thru 2014) and three years for language and insurance (thru

2015). Teachers will receive a $1200 stipend this year and a 2 percent increase for next year. However insurance premiums will change. Members who were hired after 1996, with 5 or more years in the district, do currently pay a premium percentage for family coverage currently and with the proposal will be paying an additional annual contribution of $600. Those with less than 5 years in the district pay a higher premium percentage for family and single. Under the new contract, insurance benefits will be the same across the board for teachers and administrators. Previously, teachers saw a 5 percent increase per year for each of the past four years. “We have extreme respect for our teachers and as a district we have been competitive with salary with surrounding districts—when times are good we are happy to share, but times now are not so good and we have to tighten our belts,” said Quigley.“And the last place we want to do that is in the classroom.”

May 25 deadline for federal flood disaster aid funding On May 10, the president declared 11 counties in Illinois, including Will and Kendall, as federal disaster areas. As part of that declaration, grants to local residents and low-interest loans for small businesses are now available. A declaration for public assistance (local government reimbursement) has not been requested yet, but that request is to be submitted no later than May 25 to the federal government. As outlined by Illinois Emergency Management Agency, the Individuals and Households Program (IHP) provides financial help or direct services to those who have necessary expenses and serious needs if they are unable to meet the needs through other means. Up to $31,900 is available in financial help (adjusted each year), although some forms of IHP assistance have limits. Flood insurance may be required as indicated below. These forms of help are available: Housing Assistance (including Temporary Housing, Repair, Replacement, and Semi-Permanent or Permanent Housing Construction) and Other Needs Assistance (including personal property

and other items). Among the items eligible for housing assistance include temporary housing, repairs (FEMA may provide up to $31,900 for repair), replacement (rare cases), and semi permanent or permanent housing construction (also rare and unusual cases). Generally, more than one type of IHP assistance may be provided to the household, but only FEMA has the authority to determine which type of assistance is most appropriate for the household and the period of assistance to be covered. There a few different ways to apply for disaster assistance. A resident may apply at www.DisasterAssistance.gov, call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362), or visit a disaster recovery center (locations to be determined shortly). Among the items needed when applying for assistance include the address of the damaged property, names of those residing at the residence, a description of the damages, insurance information, and your Social Security number. All compiled information submitted by local governments for their damages will be reviewed and submitted to FEMA by May 25.

17-year-old killed Lawsuits allege sexual abuse in Jewel parking lot in Diocese of Joliet parishes By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

A 17-year-old boy of Joliet died as a result of stab wounds after a fight broke out in the Jewel Food store parking lot at approximately 8:45 p.m. Thursday, May 16. Fabian Almodovar, 22, of Romeoville, will be charged with first-degree murder. Acording to the Romeoville Police Department, police were called to the store located at 20 S. Weber Road for the report of a fight between two males outside the store. Officers found Almodovar in a bathroom inside the Jewel store. The man was transported to Provena Saint Joseph’s Medical Center in Joliet due to injuries he received in the fight. The 17-year-old was unconscious in the parking lot

suffering from an apparent stab wound to the chest. He was later pronounced deceased at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital. Investigators learned the two men began to physically fight and Almodovar allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the 17-year-old in the chest. Almodovar was subsequently released from Provena Saint Joseph’s Medical Center and later transported to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital. “It does not appear to be gang related,” said Deputy Chief Steven Lucchesi. “ I cannot comment at this point on the reason for the fight as we are still investigating that, however is does not appear to be a random meeting. It was a prearranged meeting.” This case remains under investigation.

Five lawsuits were filed in Will County last week accusing the Diocese of Joliet of allowing suspected predators to meet with young boys during the 1970s and ‘80s in nearby parishes, including those in Bolingbrook and Joliet. The cases, filed by the Chicagobased law firm of Hurley McKenna & Mertz, PC, allege that incidents took place when the plaintiffs were ages 8 to 16 in private living quarters, at off-site “retreats,” including a camper parked outside of a home owned by a priest’s parents, and in the back row of a school classroom. According to a release by the law firm, several of them involve priests plying minors with alcohol and then taking advantage of them. In addition, the plaintiffs allege they were sworn to secrecy by their abusers. The plaintiffs were actively involved in the Bolingbrook parishes of St. Dominic and St. Francis of Assisi, the St. Mary Nativity School and St. Charles Borremeo Seminary in Joliet, and St. Boniface Church in Monee. “Lives have been horribly damaged,” said Mark McKenna, who is representing the plaintiffs.

“The scars from child sexual abuse and the secrecy surrounding it take years, even decades to heal properly. The process is extended in the many cases where victims, as a coping mechanism, suppress memories of the abuse. That’s why laws have been passed which protect victims by allowing them to seek damages when their memories are ‘unlocked.’” The complaints allege the Diocese of Joliet knew or should have known about the risk of abuse, or actual incidents of abuse, and yet engaged in a pattern and practice of hiding what it knew, and covertly were transferring pedophile priests around the diocese and out of state. Diocesan spokesman Jim Dwyer said they have not yet been served with the five lawsuits. After receiving copies of the suits and reviewing the specifics of the pleadings, diocesan officials will respond in an appropriate forum, he added. The diocese did however release this statement in response to questions regarding the lawsuits: “Dealing with the tragic history of child abuse is part of the Church’s ministry today. The people of the Diocese of Joliet pray every day for those who have been abused and for those responsible for

it. They ask the Lord for healing for all His people who suffer for what has happened in their midst. With God’s help, the diocese will continue to do its best to assure the safety of its children.” Dwyer said diocesan officials continue to urge anyone who may have been sexually abused as a minor by a member of the clergy, employee or volunteer of the diocese to report the abuse to civil authorities and to the diocese. Reports may be made to any pastor or by contacting the diocese’s Victim Assistance Coordinator at 815-263-6467. The lawsuits filed comes on the heels of a March report by the diocese that released 16 personnel files of priests with substantiated allegations against them.According to the law firm, three of the priests named in the complaints are on the diocese’s recently updated list of Priests with Credible/ Substantiated Allegations of Sexual Abuse; one is on a separate list of priests with credible allegations being investigated. Each has been removed from the ministry, in the years from 1992 to 2012. One is deceased.The teacher or principal named in one complaint is also deceased. At least one priest was convicted of sexual abuse charges and served jail time.

One critical in motorcycle crash A Joliet man remains in critical condition after a motorcycle crash Sunday night near Weber and Taylor roads. Wade Mano, 52, was traveling on a yellow Harley Davidson with a passenger when an accident involving a silver Isuzu Rodeo occurred at approximately 7:17 p.m., according to a report from Romeoville Police. Mano was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital in critical condition. The passenger of the Harley Davidson, Dorothy Taylor, 49, of Romeoville, was transported to Loyola Hospital in stable condition. The driver of the Isuzu, Romeoville resident Joy Adophy, 31, was treated and released on the scene. The crash is still under investigation at this time.

Valley View trims administrative posts

Rasmussen College Graduation

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Rasmussen College celebrated more than 160 graduates during a commencement ceremony on Sunday, April 21, at the Rialto Square Theater in Joliet. The graduates are from the Rasmussen College Romeoville/Joliet, Aurora/Naperville, and Mokena/Tinley Park campuses. Rhon Daguro, Founder and CEO of Nervana, a technology solutions firm gave the keynote address. Rasmussen College is a regionally accredited private college specializing in high-demand educational programs in a supportive, student-centered environment. Rasmussen College offers certificate and diploma programs through associate’s and bachelor’s degrees online and across its 24 Midwest and Florida campuses.

While various factors continue to squeeze the Valley View School District 365u budget, the school board opted to follow a plan that will cut administration and garner more then $560,000 in savings. The cost savings will come in large part from the elimination of one and a half positions, reorganization of staff, and a reduction of professional development. In addition, administrators will now be responsible for paying more into their health insurance, aligning more with what teachers currently contribute. “We are asking that all phases of the organization accept some of the responsibility that the district faces, accepting that our finances are not what they once were in the past,” said Superintendent James Mitchem. The plan includes a reorganization at the Valley View Administration Center with administrative positions being eliminated or reclassified at a lower rate as of July 1, resulting in savings over the next three years. Two assistant superintendent positions will be reorganized to executive directors with a $30,000 reduction in salary. The pre-k-5 and 6-12 assistant superintendent’s positions will be combined into one pre-kthrough 12 position.The assistant director of school community relations and an administrative consultant for pre-K through 12 for principals will be eliminated. “As we move forward with the New View, it is imperative that we focus our energy and financial resources on the classroom, making sure our most important asset, our educators,

have all the tools they need to help our children succeed,” said Mitchem. Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, all administrators will share more in the cost of their own health insurance, as well as their family’s insurance, if applicable. This change will result in savings to the district of roughly $195,000 over three years. In addition, reductions in the professional development budgets for all Valley View building and district administrators, ranging from 5 to 40 percent, will save the district $105,000 over a three year period. Mitchem also indicated that replacing retiring staff over the next three years with staff at lower salary levels will save an additional $220,000. “Given the uncertain history of state funding, it is critical for Valley View to live within our financial means,while continuing to keep our children foremost in our minds,” Mitchem said. Valley View board members questioned how the administrative salary and benefits compare with that of similar districts. Assistant Superintendent Gary Grizaffi reported that the administration has a larger student to administrator ratio than average and that overall spending is comparable to most. Mitchem noted Valley View administrators are paid slightly higher than other districts because of the higher number of students per administrator. However Board Vice President Rick Gougis noted Valley View spends $77 per student on administrative costs where school districts in the county spend on average $214 per student.

Johnstone to be VVSD Assistant Director of Student Services Carie Johnstone has been named Assistant Executive Director of Student Services for Valley View School District for the 2013-14 school year. Johnstone, currently a district-level Student Services Administrator, started her career in 2001 as a district-wide social

worker primarily handling duties at Bolingbrook High School, Jamie McGee Elementary School and what was then B.J. Ward Middle School. During her seven years as a social worker, she also served as Student Resource Team Leader for Ward.

Our View

Just a really, really bad week By Nick Reiher

nitially when I sat down to write this, the column was going to be about a couple things I saw the past week that made my head spin a bit. One was a county board committee opposing – then having no recommendation at all – on a resolution accepting acknowledgement of its endeavors to be sustainable. One would think such an acknowledgement would make others green with envy. But half the members of the board’s Land Use Committee decided welcoming that acknowledgement would mean linking Will County’s good name with reprobates from the Sierra Club, who of course want to see every power plant replaced with a ten-thousand pinwheels. We need the jobs from those power plants. So, no, we don’t want your designation, no matter how “cool.” The other was the unmitigated hijacking of a park district, by new board members and a village board member. Hijacking a park district board? Isn’t that like sticking up a kid’s lemonade stand? Yet that seemed to be what happened just after the new

Plainfield Park District Board was seated. Led by newly installed president Peter Hurtado (a Republican who ran unsuccessfully against incumbent state Sen. Linda Holmes), the board kicked out longtime Executive Director Greg Bott (who was retiring at the end of June anyway) and replaced him with Garrett Peck, a Plainfield Village Trustee who lost to Democrat Jennifer BertinoTarrant in the newly created 49th Senate District in November. The previous park board had given a contract to deputy director Cameron Bettin to take over for Bott July 1. Now, Bettin will work under Peck. Asked why, Peck said it was time for a change. Asked for clarity, Peck said,“Make an appointment.” Now, there’s transparency. What I really would like to talk about, though, is the death recently of one of my good friends.Tim West battled cancer the way he battled ornery city officials in Naperville: head on; not really caring whether they liked it or not. Tim was a columnist for the Naperville Sun for decades. On the surface, he seemed the antithesis of Naperville: short, rumpled suit, a cherubic face hidden by a scruffy, gray beard

Illustrated Opinion

that became one with his scruffy, gray hair. He reminded me of an Ewok. But I have never, ever met anyone who loved his community more than Tim. I made the mistake one time of joining him in carving up a cherished piece of Naperville, and, well, let me tell you, that was one teed-off Ewok. In fact, the only thing he loved more than Naperville was his wife Kathy. I got a hint of that years ago when we attended an overnight editorial seminar in Peoria. After the session broke up the second day, I asked Tim if he wanted to get a bite for the road.“Nah,” he said.“I want to get home to my wife.” Much later, seeing them together, they were terrific partners who complemented each other so well. Kathy, thank you for sharing Tim with us all these years. Tim, we’ll postpone that Knob Creek toast for now. I know Heaven is no Naperville, but I’m sure you’ll have some suggestions for how to improve. Goodbye, friend.There aren’t enough like you anymore.

This soup will make anyone a garlic lover

orty years ago, I moved from Europe to the United States. I was so excited to be here. I loved everything I’d heard and seen about America, and really did think of it as the land of opportunity.Today, I’m happy to be a citizen. But, I must admit, it was an adjustment at first. In so many ways, I was surprised by American tastes and food habits. I remember the first time I cooked scrambled eggs the soft, creamy way they’re served in France only to have a guest send them back, with the message that they were undercooked! Customers sometimes wanted mint sauce with their (overcooked) lamb, and ketchup with their steaks. It was a learning process both in the kitchen and in the dining room. Another surprise when I first came here was that garlic still seemed a little bit like a novelty. Sure, you expected it in Italian restaurants, and in maybe some other ethnic places. But American home cooks still seemed to rely more on tired jars of garlic salt and garlic powder from the supermarket spice aisle than they did on garlic cloves from the produce department. Unlike in European kitchens, they hadn’t become aware of garlic’s

Don’t be afraid to use fresh garlic to add ﬂavor and rich aroma to your cooking. TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES IMAGE

essential role in adding aromatic complexity to slowly simmered and quickly sauteed dishes alike. And they hadn’t yet learned how to tame garlic’s unruly, sometimes harsh personality. An essential way to make garlic more palatable is first to blanch the peeled cloves. Blanching basically refers to precooking an ingredient, usually cut-up vegetables, briefly in a pan of boiling water, and then draining it. For popular side-dish

over medium-high heat; then, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the garlic and return it to the pan.Add the potato and the chicken broth. Season lightly with salt and white pepper. Return the pan to medium-high heat. Bring the broth to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the potato is tender enough to be pierced easily with the tip of a small, sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Pour and stir the cream into the simmering soup. Over low heat, bring the liquid back to a simmer. Meanwhile, prepare the Basil Oil: In a blender, combine the basil, parsley, and olive oil. Blend until smoothly pureed, stopping once or twice if necessary to scrape down the sides of the container with a rubber

spatula. Pour the puree through a finemeshed strainer set over a bowl. Set the strained oil aside.Wash out the blender container thoroughly. Working in two or more batches to avoid overfilling the blender, transfer the soup into the blender and blend until smoothly pureed, following the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid spattering the hot liquid.Transfer the pureed soup to a clean saucepan. Gently reheat the pureed soup over low heat.Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary, with a little more salt and white pepper. To serve, ladle the soup into heated bowls. Arrange strips of prosciutto on top of the soup and, with a teaspoon, drizzle on some of the Basil Oil. Serve immediately.

another benefit: It tames their harshness, adding an aspect of mild sweetness to the still-familiar garlic flavor.The result is garlic that’s easier to digest, and that diminishes (if not eliminating completely) the sometimes dreaded “garlic breath.” You can blanch garlic cloves before you include them in stews, braises, or sautes, whether

whole or sliced. Some recipes might even call for “double blanching” them - simply going through the process twice to make them even milder. For an outstanding example of the remarkable results that come from such a simple kitchen trick, look no further than my recipe for Garlic-Potato Soup. It actually contains as much garlic as it does potato - an impressive 1/3 to 1/2 cup of peeled cloves per serving. But, thanks to blanching, your guests will be only intrigued and delighted by the bulb’s subtle flavor.

Horoscopes There is no reason to be mean if someone thinks the ends justify the means. Group interactions and politics can be challenging in the week ahead, but a trusted partner will be there to add moral support.

Be steadfast and true to your goals in the week ahead. Don’t be sidetracked by small temptations. Even the most awkward situation can’t dampen your enthusiasm for those things close to the heart.

Don’t let excuses put limits on your success. You may be able to talk your way out of any box, but you must be sincere about your promises and resolutions to make it to the big leagues in the week to come.

Grab hold of a situation by the scruff of the neck. Like a mother cat with a kitten, it may be a case of mother knows best. Earn respect from others by being gentle, but firm, in the upcoming week.

Practice what you preach. If you follow your heart and remember to take your own advice, everything will work out for the best this week. Upsets at the workplace could suddenly alter your prospects.

If you really love ‘em, you can’t leave ‘em. Close intimate relationships can grow closer in the week ahead. This may be an excellent day to talk over longterm plans and define joint objectives.

Learn to grin and bear it. World opinion may go against the grain in the week ahead. Focus on personal romance instead. An ill-informed consensus is still wrong - no matter how many people share it.

Know your boundaries and stay within them. The week to come may show you that true love means you must do your duty. You may learn that security in relationships is more valuable than excitement.

You deserve a break today. Plans will move along like clockwork during the upcoming week if you pay extra attention to a special someone. Frankly discuss problems to nip troubles before they bud.

You might not be a very good cook, but even you can manage to bake some humble pie. Situations outside your control might force you to take a back seat or to accept your limits in the week ahead.

Opportunity only knocks once, so listen closely. In the week ahead be on the lookout for a chance to make some extra cash, buy something of beauty, improve your health, or make everyday tasks easier.

Romance might be on your mind in the week to come. Hold off on vows of commitment and everlasting love until at least the middle of the week. Right now, your impulsive actions might backfire.

Kelly All-State in shot put By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Romeoville’s Raven Kelly had a pair of goals when she came into the state meet this past weekend at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. She wanted to finish in the top nine to be All-State and she wanted to hit 40-feet in the shot put. While she was unable to hit 40 feet, she was able to earn AllState honors, taking eighth with a put of 38-11.75. “That was one of my goals,” Kelly said of being All-State. “I’m happy. Not many people can say ‘I’m an All-State athlete.’ I’m proud. I’m the first shot put female to make All-State at Romeoville.” Her distance came from Friday’s preliminary round. Saturday she couldn’t recover from a scratch on the first put. “My first one was really good and then I slipped,” Kelly said. “Then after that it was just (not great). It got to me a lot.”

The senior was nervous in her first trip to state, but she still was able to hit her ultimate goal. “This was the first time in a while that I didn’t hit 40 feet in a meet,” Kelly said. “I was wondering what happened. I think it was me being nervous. My goal was to make it to finals and I did.” In her second trip to state as a junior, Jahsmine Jones finished 21st in the shot put (35-9.5). “I tried my hardest,” Jones said. “I felt really good going into warm-ups, but as we started the meet, I don’t know what happened, but I got really nervous. My experience still helped a little bit because I did better than last time.” On the track, the 4x100 and 4x200 relay squads of Angel Jones, Colleen Lilly, Cierra Pulliam and Kaitlyn Hammock had their top times of the season, but came up short of finals. The 4x100 squad clocked in at 49.31, good for 16th, while See KELLY, page 16

“I really feel like if we had one more week to the season, we would have been even better, considering the type of weather we had to train in this year. “I am really happy for the six individuals and it is great to see them get recognized.” Cook was fifth overall in the Midwest with her first-place triple jump of 11.56 meters at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships on May 3rd.

Ferguson had the third-fastest 200-meter time in the region with a first-place mark of 24.31 at the GVSU Last Chance Meet on May 11th. King was the top performer for the Flyers in the long jump, as she was fourth in the Midwest with a leap of 5.70 meters, set at the Chicagoland Championships.

Polhemus was the fifthfastest in the Midwest in the 400-meter hurdles with a second-place finish and careerbest time of 1:03.11, set at the GLVC Outdoor Track and Field Championships on May 4th.

The Flyers drop to 32-17 on the season while the Lakers improve to 33-16 on the year. Lewis plays Ashland at 3:30 PM on Saturday (May 18) at Meador Field. “It was a tough game tonight,” Lewis head baseball coach Tim McDonough said. “We just didn’t have enough. We made a push there in the sixth to get back in it but we just couldn’t hold them down.” Grand Valley State jumped on the scoreboard first when they plated three in the second inning and tacked on a single run in the third for a 4-0 lead. The Flyers got within one run in the sixth inning, scoring

three runs on four hits and a GVSU error. Sophomore Mark Kornacker (Lemont, Ill./ Lemont) led off the inning with a single, before advancing to second on a balk. Junior Drew Buddle (Bartlett, Ill./South Elgin) hit a single to right field to score Kornacker for the Flyers first run of the game. After junior Jake Murray (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North) reached base on a fielder’s choice and Buddle took second on an error by GVSU’s shortstop, junior Ben Albano (West Dundee, Ill./ Jacobs) singled to load the bases. Junior Kyle Kapka (Mount Prospect, Ill./Prospect) scored Buddle with a single to right field before senior Brian Norwood (Medinah, Ill./Lake Park) drew a walk to force in Murray as the Flyers got within one run, 4-3 Grand Valley State answered with two runs in the seventh and three in the ninth inning to put the game away.

Romeoville track looking to future with young team By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Although Romeoville did not qualify any events for the state meet, the experience gained at the Downers Grove North Sectional will not go to waste. With only five seniors competing at the sectional and a plethora of freshmen and sophomores in events, the future looks very bright for the Spartans. At the sectional meet, senior Dan Quan paced Romeoville by finishing third in the pole vault, clearing a height of 13-feet, 3-inches. Junior Chris Edmondson was fourth in the 200 dash, running a 23.29 in the prelims and posting a 23.11 in the finals. His seed time coming in was a 23:44. The Spartans had a pair of sophomores compete in the throws, both of whom had a chance coming in for a qualifying throw. Prosper Osin-Loye was seventh in the discus with a throw of 131-04 and was 13th in the shot put with 45-08.25. Fellow sophomore Kelvin Jones was 16th in the shot put with 44-07.50 and was 24th in

the discus in 108-06. Both of the young throwers were happy with the experience they got. “I was having an off day and I just had to throw through it,” Osin-Loye said. “This was a pretty good season for us being that we are so young. Hopefully I can make it to the state meet the next two years. Getting this experience makes me better. Being in an environment with this kind of competition just makes you better no matter what.” Jones is also looking to the future. “We just have to work out and work hard and come out looking forward to next year,” he said. “I have to try my best and hopefully make it to state next year. We are young, but by the time we are juniors and seniors we are going to be a good team. We are all working hard in practice. Being here and seeing this makes me want to work harder to get better.” The Spartans had four relay teams finish in the top 10 in sectional with only one senior on any team. The team of Edmondson, junior Miguel Ford, sophomore

Eric Ibarra and sophomore Bobby Tello placed seventh in the 4x100 relay with a time of 45.64. Ford, Edmondson and Tello teamed with senior Kyle Cafferkey to place seventh in the 4x200 in 1:35.02. The Spartans’ 4x800 relay team of freshman Christian Bonilla and sophomores Mike Samuelson, Armando Cortez and Luis Loza placed ninth in 8:48.42. The all sophomore quartet of Samuelson, Loza and Cortez and Ibarra teamed up in the 4x400 to place 10th with a time of 3:42.09. Not only did Samuelson compete well in the relay events, he was the top individual distance runner, placing 17th in the 1600 run with a time of 1600 4:41.47. Individually, junior Mitch LaFond placed ninth in the high jump, clearing 5-09, while in the long jump, senior Anthony Balderas was 11th with a leap of 19-09.50. Sophomore Marcos Povilaitis placed 14th in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles with a time of 43.96. Follow Mark @2Mark_My_Words mark@buglenewspapers.com

The Flyers eliminated Eagles (37-19) from the tournament and advanced to face Bellarmine in the evening. In the second game, the Knights defeated the Flyers, 13-1, to end the Flyers (33-18) season. “It’s always tough when the season comes to an end,” Lewis head baseball coach Tim McDonough said. “I am really proud of the way we fought for 18 innings today.” “Game one was a great college baseball game in a

great atmosphere,” McDonough continued. “To win that one was exciting but unfortunately, in game two we just didn’t have enough.” In the first game, Ashland took a 4-3 lead into the ninth, putting a single run on the board in the first and sixth inning and pushing two across in the fifth. Lewis plated a run in the third inning when Murray’s groundout scored sophomore Mike Barajas (Chicago, Ill./ Nazareth) from third. The Flyers’ other two runs came in the fourth inning when Barajas doubled in redshirt junior Kyle Thomas (Homer Glen, Ill./Providence Catholic) and sophomore Mark Kornacker (Lemont, Ill./ Lemont). Senior starter Matt Frahm (McLean, Ill./Olympia) threw his fifth complete game of the season in the victory. Frahm (8-

He gave up two runs on two hits while striking out two and walking one. In the nightcap, the Knights quickly jumped out ahead of the Flyers, going up 9-0 in the second. Senior relief pitcher Derek Thomas (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Kennedy) was able to stop the Knights from scoring in the third and fourth innings, but Bellarmine put three more on the scoreboard in the third to push the score to 12-0. The Knights added a run in the seventh on a solo home run by Graham Spencer, who went three-for-four at the plate. The Knights’ Cole Metcalf and Michael Morrisette each had three hits.

running with them. It was just one of those days to give it your all and I think we did. I’m happy, I’m not disappointed at all.” “It’s bittersweet,” said Hammock, a four-time state qualifier. “I’m really happy we made it here and that’s all that mattered. We knew we weren’t favored to win, so it was a good way to end the season. Our handoffs still weren’t great and we were leaving one or two seconds on the track. Give us one or two more and it may have been different. “We’re very happy to PR,” Lilly stated.“We’ve been through a lot this year. We had some injuries and (Cierra) came in and became a part of the team for us. Our goal was to PR and we did that. We also wanted to make it, but I couldn’t be happier.” Meanwhile, Pulliam was the lone underclassmen and the lone first-time qualifier on the relay. “It’s a great feeling,” Pulliam said. “This was my first year running track in my life. It was fun, especially with these girls. They taught me a lot and I just have to keep pushing forward.” Lilly became the first individual track event qualifier in nine years in the 200 and finished 16th with a time of 26.07. “I think I could’ve done better, but I put everything I had out there,” Lilly said. “I’m definitely happy with my time. I was very nervous, but I found it in my heart to finish.” Follow Scott @Taylor_Sports staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Slammers win two of first three Joliet Slammers’ starter Evan Anundsen received a good birthday present at Silver Cross Field, a 5-2 opening night victory over the Traverse City Beach Bums. The twenty-five year-old, right-handed pitcher was a big reason the Slammers (1-0) came away with the win against the Beach Bums (0-1) as Anundsen received the victory, recording nine strikeouts in six innings of work. The Beach Bums however drew first blood in the fourth inning, after three scoreless innings by both Anundsen and Beach Bums’ starter Jacob Clem. Scott Woodward led off the fourth with a single. One out later he stole second base and went to third on a wild pitch. He would get caught in a pickle on a Chase Burch grounder though and was retired 5-2-51-6-1. Burch went to second on the play and came around to score off an RBI single from Zach Kometani. The Slammers would respond in a big way in the home half of the fourth. With one away, Nate Wilder singled and was moved over to third by a Michael Wing double. Jerod Yakubik tied up the game, driving Wilder home on a RBI single. Seth Schwindenhammer hit a sacrifice fly to make it a 2-1 ballgame and Goose Kallunki drove in the third run of the inning on a RBI single. The Beach Bums would get one run back in the top of the fifth, but the Slammers would add two big insurance runs off the bat of Kallunki in the bottom of the sixth to make it a 5-2 ballgame. The five runs would prove to be more than enough as the Slammers bullpen closed things down in the seventh, eighth and ninth. Shawn Kale picked up three punch-outs in the eighth and Jacob Sanchez recorded his first professional save in the ninth. In the second game of the series, Joliet Slammers’ starting pitcher Chuck Lofgren knew it would be hard to match Evan Anundsen’s seven-inning, nine strikeout performance the previous night. After tossing six and two third innings, while only allowing 2 runs off 5 hits, Lofgren may

not have topped Anundsen’s performance on opening night, but he definitely threw just as well. Lofgren (1-0) was a big reason the Slammers beat the Traverse City Beach Bums (02) for the second straight night at Silver Cross Field. Also Grant DeBruin was equally hot in his professional debut, picking up not only his first career hit but also driving in three runs, going 3-4 on the night. The second game of this opening weekend series started just like the first game, with the Beach Bums striking first. After two quick outs recorded by Lofgren in the first, Jose Vargus hit a two-out single and first baseman Burch followed by driving Vargus home on a RBI double. The 1-0 Beach Bums lead did not last long as the Slammers responded in the bottom of the second inning with three runs of their own. Schwindenhammer and third baseman Kyle Maunus started

the frame with walks, bringing up Grant DeBruin who got his first career hit, loading the bases for Goose Kallunki. Kallunki followed his 2-3, 3 RBI performance on opening night by hitting a two-RBI single in the second which cleared the bases after Matt Howard committed an error in center field, allowing DeBruin to score. The Slammers picked up two more runs in the home half of the third after DeBruin topped his first career hit by driving in two on a two-out single. It was a 5-1 Slammers lead after three innings of play. DeBruin, however was not done. In the bottom of the fifth he would drive in one more run on another two-out, RBI single to give the Slammers a 6-1 lead. The Beach Bums would crawl back into the game, picking up two runs, one in the seventh and one in the eighth, but it would not be enough as the Slammers held on, 6-3 for their second straight victory over Traverse City.

In the final game of the series, the Slammers (2-1) walked a combined eight Traverse City Beach Bums (1-2) and also stranded eight base runners in a 6-2 loss in the final contest of this three game series. In addition to missing the strike zone and dropping offensive opportunities, the Slammers’ second baseman Nate Wilder committed two errors back to back in the top of the sixth inning. Both errors were on ground balls and the first allowed catcher Chris Cowell to score and the second allowed centerfielder Woodward to reach, which brought up last year’s MVP and All-Star Vargus to the plate. On the first pitch he saw, Vargus crushed a ball to left center that bounced off the wall, bringing in two runs, making it a 5-0 ballgame. It was a key turning point in the game and turned out to be insurmountable as Joliet suffered their first loss of the year. Like every game this series,

the Beach Bums struck first, scoring one run in the third. The difference in this game is Traverse City scored a second run in the fifth to extend their lead to 2-0. After picking up the three in the sixth, the Beach Bums added one more run in the seventh on a sacrifice fly to center field from shortstop Andrew Cohn. Starter Scott Dunn for Traverse City also was a big reason Joliet could not pick up their first series sweep over the Beach Bums as he tossed seven shutout innings, striking out five and only allowed four hits. The Slammers would try to climb back into the game, scoring a run in the eighth and one more in the ninth, but it turned out to be too little too late as the Beach Bums limited the damage in both frames, while preventing a series sweep. However, Joliet does earn the series win over Traverse City to start the 2013 campaign, winning the first and second games, 5-2 and 6-3 respectively.

Will Co. represented well at awards By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Every season, the Pitch and Hit Club of Chicago hosts an awards ceremony where it honors baseball successes ranging from amateur all the way to professional baseball. This season, at its 67th annual ceremony, the club inducted Goose Gossage and Tony LaRussa into the Lou Boudreau Hall of Fame, the club’s highest honor. Among the other award winner at the Jan. 27 banquet were several members of the Voyager Media coverage area. The Chicago Area Minor League Player of the Year, was former Minooka pitcher Mike Foltynewicz, who is now with the Houston Astros. Currently, Foltynewicz is 1-0 in seven games with the Corpus Christi Hooks in Double-A. He has a 3.81 ERA in 26 innings with 31 hits allowed, 29 strikeouts and 14 walks. A year ago, Foltynewicz was tabbed South Atlantic League Most Outstanding Pitcher for his work with the Lexington Legends, the single-A affiliate. The No. 7 ranked prospect and No. 3 rated pitcher in the Astros’ system, Foltynewicz posted a 3.14 ERA last season with a strikeout rate of 7.54 strikeouts per nine innings. “This is really nice to be recognized,” he said. “I have put in so much hard work and dedication since being drafted. I just want to make everybody back home proud. They are all rooting for me and I want to give back. All these awards open my eyes and make me realize what I’m doing.” When Foltynewicz does hit the big leagues, he will do so in the American League, as the Astros are moving beginning this coming season. A prolific hitter in high school, Foltynewicz said he won’t miss not batting it the big leagues. “I loved hitting in high school and it was fun then,” he said. “But the last two or three years, I have seen the way the ball moves on those pitches and I am glad I am pitching.” The other two local award winners both came from Joliet Junior College, as JJC manager Wayne King won the Amateur Coach of the Year award and

Luke Andrade won College Player of the Year. The Wolves entered the playoffs last season with a 2828 overall record, the Wolves went 9-1 in the post season and claimed the NJCAA Division III national championship. It was the third title in King’s 26-year career at Joliet Junior College. “It was a pretty average year, but we weren’t as bad as our record,” King said. “Then the kids come out and we win nine of the last 10 in the playoffs, I couldn’t tip my hat enough to them.” Andrade batted .396 with six HR and 67 RBI for the national champion Wolves. “This is pretty surreal,” Andrade said of the award. “I look around and one of my favorite managers of all time, Tony LaRussa is here. I am just taking it all in.” King knows he deserved it. “We don’t do what we did without Luke,” King said. “He threw up some incredible numbers.” The Hit and Pitch Club’s Minor League Manager of the Year was Mike Pinto from the Southern Illinois Miners. Pinto also has local ties as he was the Joliet JackHammers’ third base and bench coach in 2002. In 2003, he was pitching coach for Joliet and head coach of Oakton Community College in Des Plaines and Skokie, which he held until 2005.

Earning the award for the Chicago area Major League Baseball Player of the Year was George Kontos of the World Champion San Francisco Giants. Kontos, a graduate of Niles West High School, was a vital member of the Giants’ bullpen during last season’s run toward the World Series title. He appeared in 44 games, tossing 43.2 innings. He posted a 2-1 record with five holds and had a 2.47 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. “It was very encouraging for me because as the season went on Rags (pitching coach Dave Righetti) and Boche (manager Bruce Bochy) kept putting me in more important situations and my role went from being a mop up guy to once they learned me, they were putting me in one-run situations and showing their trust in me. In turn, that made me more confident.” He appeared in eight post season games, including one game in the World Series. “There are people who have brilliant careers who are amazing players who never get to accomplish what I did in my first year in the big leagues,” Kontos said.“It is really an honor and very special and something I will never forget.” Kontos was originally a fifthround draft choice of theYankees out of Northwestern University and made his pro debut for the Bronx Bombers in 2011, where

he appeared in seven games and recorded a 3.00 ERA in six innings, while striking out six batters. He was traded to the Giants for catcher Chris Stewart before the start of the 2012 season and stated off in the minor leagues, before joining the big club on June 10. “It was very surreal,” Kontos said. “When I first got traded it was a new team and I was the

new guy, but the tunnel vision was on because the goal was still the same and that was to get back to the big leagues and stay there and have success.” Kontos earned his first major league win in relief of Barry Zito, successfully recording seven outs without allowing a baserunner in a 6-4 win over the Astros.

Johnson wins NASCAR All-Star race By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service

The Brothers Busch won the first four segments of Saturday night’s Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but Jimmie Johnson took the one the counted—the 10-lap dash to the finish—and continued to build his legacy, not to mentioned his bank account. Speeding away from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kasey Kahne after a restart on Lap 81 of 90, Johnson won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series allstar exhibition race for a record fourth time, beating charging Joey Logano to the stripe by 1.722 seconds.

Kyle Busch, who won the second and third segments of 20-laps each, ran third, followed by Kahne and Kurt Busch. The elder Busch brother won the first and fourth segments and was first onto pit road before the final dash but exited fifth with a less-than-stellar pit stop. Despite changes to his pit crew this week, Johnson’s over-the-wall gang performed an 11-second pit stop that got him out of the pits on the front row, beside Kahne, for the final restart. Ultimately, that made all the difference. With the victory, Johnson broke a tie with teammate Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Sr. for most wins in the non-points race, won his second straight

All-Star Race and collected $1 million for his efforts. “To beat Jeff and Earnhardt, two guys I’ve looked up to my whole life—two massive icons of our sport—this means the world to me,” said Johnson, who started 18th after sliding through his pit box and drawing a penalty for a loose lug nut during Friday’s qualifying session. “I really didn’t think we had a shot at winning tonight, starting

(18th), but we had a great race car and worked our way through there and got the job done. Over time, honestly, it’s just dedication and drive from every member at Hendrick Motorsports, every member on this No. 48 team. We’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished, but we know we’ve got to keep pushing harder and pushing one another.” Kyle Busch thought he had the fastest car, but a slower-than-

usual four-tire stop put his No. 18 Toyota on the second row for the final restart. “We just didn’t get the best pit stop there at the end to get us out on the front row, and when you’re back behind cars, you’re getting beat up on,” Busch said. “It is what it is. We’ll just take this as a good learning day and hopefully bring back some speed like this to the (Coca-Cola) 600 (May 26).”

WEEKLY RACING UPDATE STANDINGS

COYNE QUALIFIES 3 FOR INDY Justin Wilson needed only one qualifying attempt on the day as he posted an average four-lap speed of 226.370 mph, which was good enough to put his No. 19 Boy Scouts of America Honda in the middle of row five for the 97th running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 26. Wilson drives for Plainfield-based Dale Coyne Racing. “It was great to qualifying on day one with a great lap time,” said Wilson. “The No. 19 Boy Scouts of America team did great job today and I couldn’t be more pleased with our results. We will start in the middle of Row 5 next weekend, which gives us a great opportunity in the race. We will continue to work on race setup on Sunday and I’m looking forward to a good finish.” First day qualifying sets the top 24 cars for for the Indianapolis 500.Wilson was the second quickest Honda on Saturday. “Justin and the team both performed brilliantly today,” said team owner Dale Coyne.“I can’t say enough good things about what a fantastic job the team and Justin have done all week. Now we can focus on the race and hopefully bring home a top finish next weekend.” Fellow Dale Coyne Racing drivers Ana Beatriz (No. 18 Ipiranga Honda) qualified 31st, while Pippa Mann (No. 63 Cyclops Honda) qualified 33rd.

Real Estate & Business

Long-term crisis-mode ultimately burns out workers Q. My company has been in crisis mode for about three years now, and I am thoroughly burned out. I don’t want to be seen as lazy, but I need a break, vacation and some life balance. At first, I was productive with the long hours, but now I make repeated stupid mistakes. How can I convince my manager breaks are good for productivity? A. The only way you’ll convince your manager that breaks are good for productivity is to demonstrate the effect of the break you are going to plan.You’re

going to have to put together a plan to ask for forgiveness on life balance, not permission. Many companies, as they’ve been coming out of the economic crisis, ended up loading less people up with more work.The idea was never to leave a permanent burden on the remaining staff. The problem is that many people in the short term have been able to remain productive with crazy hours and zero time off. Now is burnout is setting in and the natural exhaustion is stalling productivity. Your manager is going to be aware of the fact the organization has gotten away with the same results with fewer people (less staff expense).Your manager will be less aware that human beings just aren’t wired to remain effective when they are worked

liked dogs. All the research studies on productivity demonstrate that during a short-term crisis, adrenaline kicks in like intense espresso.Then, as when an intense espresso buzz wears off, the human body crashes and needs a period of rest.You have been working on adrenaline for far too long, and there is a physical price to pay for overextending yourself. Let your boss know there is a very good reason that you are going to be gone for a week. Use any reason that will make sense to your manager. Give him enough time to cover your work that week.Then take the time, turn off your phone, and don’t check your email. When you return from your well-deserved break, show your boss how much more effective you can be. Propose time saving new processes, innovative solutions to old problems, and creative ideas about future challenges.

Great inventors have repeatedly observed that sleep, play and just watching the grass grow are essential to making brilliant innovations. Brain scientists suspect that a brain that is continually engaged in trying to solve the same problem eventually jams.A break allows the brain to unfreeze and finally seize upon a solution. In a work culture where no one has seen a beach in three years, you may have to be a trendsetter to get some life balance for yourself. Like the wise advice to put on your own oxygen mask in an airplane emergency, other employees will follow your example as they see the beneficial effect. You are taking the risk that your manager keeps you employed because you are good at the work you do and not because you are a martyr. If you are afraid of returning from your break to find your job is at

risk, remember that your sanity and health are on the line if you don’t take the risk. If you want a long and successful career, working yourself into an early grave will not result in getting the financial or emotional rewards that you deserve. All work and no play will definitely drive any long-term success away!

Last word(s) Q. Is there a way to make a coworker quit acting like a baby in the workplace? A. No, but you can learn how to give your coworker no blankies, no baby food and no rewards when he acts like a baby. 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).
