Five-year veteran officer chosen as Police Department Officer of the Year

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Honored for his dedication and passion for police work, five-year veteran officer Thomas Dorsey was chosen as the 2011 Romeoville Police Department Officer of the Year.

“Tom comes to work each day with a positive outlook and a can-do attitude,” said Police Chief MarkTurvey.“Tom is relentless in his pursuit of

criminals and compassionate and sensitive to the needs of victims and the community.

Tom is always willing to assist his fellow officers, and he is quick to respond to the requests of his supervisors.”

But Dorsey says he is simply doing what he enjoys and takes pride in helping others solve their problems, surprised that he was given such an honor.

“I really feel like a rock star—it is a great honor,”said

Romeoville’s

Top Cop Dorsey. “It’s hard to sum up into words how I feel...I like going out there and listening and talking to people. I know that sometimes when people have nowhere else to go, they come to the police. To be able to help them is what motivates me. If I can’t solve the problem, at least I can try to make it better---it’s an awesome feeling.”

Turvey shared a number of incidents that Dorsey handled this past year, including the arrest of an individual connected to a traffic altercation on Romeo Road and Route 53 that resulted in the death of one of the participants involved. Turvey explained that he obtained

After long training, firefighters sworn in as lieutenants

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The Romeoville Fire Department swore in two firefighters as lieutenants, ending and acknowledging a lengthy training process that warranted the honor.

Firefighters Marty Henry and Scott Padilla were sworn in and pinned before family and friends at the past village board meeting.

Fire Chief Kent Adams said this was just the beginning, with four additional lieutenants expected to receive the rank of

lieutenant.

“It is quite an accomplishment with extensive training and programs that each of these firefighters has to go through,” said Adams. “No doubt they earned that.”

Henry has been a member of the Romeoville Fire Department for the past six years. Prior to that he has held a job in the fire service as a part-time member of the Roberts Park Fire Protection district. He attended the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) school at the College of DuPage and Paramedic School at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn. He

is married to Samantha and the pair have two daughters,Ava and Allie.

A full-time member of the department since 2006, Padilla has served in the training division, been a member of the Technical Rescue Team (TRT) and has served as an acting officer. He attended Paramedic School at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet. He began working the Romeoville Fire Department as a paramedic in 2001. Through in-house training, he was able to obtain certification as a Firefighter II. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Phase II of civic center project about to begin

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The second phase of the civic center project designed to enhance the site of the old village hall site with the addition of Murphy Park is set to begin.

The village board recently approved a contract to hiring Hitchock Design Group to design the area. The former village hall and Annex buildings located on Montrose Ave, off of route 53 were demolished

in 2010 to make way for the redevelopment of the Veteran’s memorial and a new community park. The project was to completed in three phases using tax increment financing (TIF) funds and possible grant funds.

The first phase of the project funded the clearing of the space and the reinforcement of the stormwater infrastructure.

The old police department was converted and renovated to house the Romeoville Chamber of Commerce, the

Romeoville Historical Society and the TriCounty SRA. A main component of the first phase was the overhaul of the veteran’s memorial, now named the Edward“Doc”McCartan Veteran’s Memorial, complete with new monuments and memorial pavers honoring the area’s men and women who have served in the military.

With a budget of nearly $1 million, this second phase will include the development of Murphy Park which in

preliminary planning is expected to include a boundless, barrierfree playground, seatwall and rock outcroppings, rubberized safety surfacing, and a picnic shelter. The parking lot will remain and site and shelter lighting and pathways will be included.

Landscape improvements, turf restoration, grading of the pavement and site drainage will also be needed to start the project.

According to Assistant Village Manager Dawn Caldwell,

while initial plans called for a splash pad, certain regulations stipulated when using TIF funds dictate the elimination of the water playground.

The total TIF funding available for the project totals approximately $716,000, which does not cover the cost of the playground equipment or landscape improvements which comes in at about $184,000 for the equipment and $43,000 for landscaping. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Road closures set for Renwick, River roads this summer

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

The intersection of Renwick and River roads is scheduled to close to through traffic from May 29 through mid-August. The existing bridge, built around 1912, will remain open, but detour signs will redirect traffic around the intersection.

The closures will take place in two stages, with the first stage consisting of the closure of the River and Renwick Road intersection north to River Court.

Traffic will be re-directed south

OFFICER Continued from page 1 vital information from witnesses and later obtained a statement from the suspect’s wife, which led to an arrest.

He also was recognized for his work on bike patrol with fellow officer Sergeant Burne, when Dorsey assisted in establishing a perimeter and responded to an incident where an armed man was seen dragging a woman into an apartment building near the Highpoint apartments. Eventually the subject surrendered.

Turvey said in another incidence, Dorsey, along with other patrol officers, developed vital information about a rash of graffiti in the St. Andrew’s area which resulted in a confession and the solving of fifteen separate acts of graffiti.

“Officer Dorsey’s love of his profession and his dedication to duty is evident in in the quality of his work,” said Turvey. “Officer Dorsey displays a true concern

on River to Fraser Road, from which motorists can connect to Rt. 59.

The second stage will begin during the summer months, after the completion of the first stage and will consist of the closure of River Road south of Renwick Road to north of Easy Street.

Motorists will need to use either Renwick Road on the north, or Fraser Road on the south to gain access to smaller streets in the neighborhoods east of the closure.

Detour routes will be posted to guide motorists throughout

for residents of the community and he goes out of his way to provide assistance to the citizens he meets in the course of his duties. He is appreciated by his supervisors, respected by his peers, and admired by the citizens he serves.”

Not only dedicated to patrol work, Dorsey also is a Field Training Officer, an All-Terrain Vehicle Officer, a member of the Bike Patrol Unit, and a Child Safety Seat Technician, recently becoming certified.

Dorsey also volunteered to help with the development of the new and upcoming Youth Police Academy.

It was, in fact, during a high school program that he found his interest in law enforcement.

“It was through the Police Explorers program that I first learned about law enforcement and I always came back to it,” said Dorsey. “...I am proof that if you can capture a kid’s attention in high school, it can stick with them.” katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

the road closures. The closure coincides with the end of the school year in Plainfield.

The route is a popular one for students headed to and from Plainfield High School Central Campus on Fort Beggs Drive, so summer break may prove the least inconvenient time for a closure.

The $9 million River Road widening and Renwick Road Bridge projects began in the fall of 2011, after the township

completed purchase of surrounding properties.

Work on the Renwick Road Bridge Project is moving along as scheduled, according to township officials. Ongoing work includes rebar installation and pouring at Pier 4; excavation and piling work at the west and east side river abutments, storm sewer installation; and asbestos removal from several of the buildings on purchased land.

When completed, the bridge

will span 644 feet over the DuPage River, with two lanes and a bike path. The one-lane bridge will remain open to pedestrians.

The Illinois Department of Transportation is footing the bill for 80 percent of the project, while the remaining 20 percent is funded jointly by the township highway department and Will County.

The project is set for completion by November. sdauskurdas@buglenewspapers.com

Special Hardship program bringing relief to residents

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Will County and Commonwealth Edison officials met with area residents Wednesday to introduce a new assistance program for customers facing financial hardship.

The Residential Special Hardship program provides up to $500 in assistance every two years to ComEd customers who have faced one of several types of recognized hardships.

These include medical, military, senior, and disability hardships; loss of employment; and family crisis.

Cynthia Thomas, manager of customer assistance program for ComEd, said that the energy delivery company is spending $50 million dollars over the next five years for various types of

assistance.The hardship program will receive most of this funding, as ComEd will spend $8 million this year on hardship grants alone.

“We’re looking at the Residential Special Hardship program as one where we are going to spend a majority of those funds,”Thomas said.

Thomas said there are several requirements potential applicants must meet before they can be approved for a hardship grant, however. Their income must be at or below 250 percent of the poverty level, and they must be facing some sort of hardship.

Joliet resident Sherry Ann Wright feels she meets these requirements. She attended the event, which took place at the Will County Center for Community Concerns, to learn

more about the program and apply for a hardship grant.

Wright, 57, took in her niece and her niece’s two daughters in December when they had no option but to move into a homeless shelter.

“That’s my family, and I love her and my great nieces,” Wright said. “They had no place to go but a shelter and I told her ‘no.’”

Wright said that the extra financial strain has put her in a position where she is unable to make her utility payments.

“By using the funds I had to help her, it caused me to deplete,” Wright said.

After receiving a disconnection notice earlier this year, Wright decided to inquire about any available assistance. When she came down to the Will County Center for Community Concerns last Monday, she was informed

about the new ComEd program that was scheduled to begin two days later.

“It was no coincidence,” Wright said with a laugh. “It was God directing our steps.”

Will County Executive Larry Wash joined ComEd officials to address potential applicants and answer questions. He stressed the importance of these types of programs in being able to provide assistance to people in need.

“This is another program where corporate works with government works with social agencies to try and provide needed services,” Walsh said.

“That’s why we’re all here to today; to participate in providing that help,”Walsh said.

The Residential Special Hardship program is part of a larger $50 million customer

assistance program ComEd started as a result of the Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act, which was passed by Illinois General Assembly in October.

ComEd external affairs manager Jeffrey Hettrick said the hardship program,the ComEd Helps Active Military Personnel program, and programs to educate people on lowering energy use are some of the assistance initiatives ComEd has started in the last year.

“All of this was in the bill,” Hettrick said. “It helps with rebuilding infrastructure, but part of that was programs like this. So, there are a number of programs that were passed with the EIMA law.”

For more information about the hardship program, Will County residents should contact the Will County Center for Community Concerns at 815-722-0722.

Students present sustainable energy plans to STEM Caucus Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL3) welcomed seventh and eighth grade students from Lemont to Washington, congratulating them on the sustainable energy plans they presented to members of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education Caucus as part of Project Infinite Green.

Project Infinite Green is a new afterschool program that brings together energy experts from government and the private sector to teach students about renewable energy and help them

to develop plans for its increased use. Joining Rep. Lipinski at the presentations were caucus co-chair Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (MD) and Rep. Judy Biggert (IL13), both of whom serve with Lipinski on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee.

“As the co-chair of the STEM Education Caucus, I was really impressed by all the learning, thought, and effort that the students displayed in their presentations,” Rep. Lipinski said. “It’s bright, motivated kids like them that are going to help

lead us toward the sustainable, low-cost energy economy of tomorrow. If our country and our children are going to compete and succeed in the high-tech, global economy, it is absolutely essential that we improve science, technology, engineering, and math achievement. To do that, we need to focus both on classroom education and on getting kids excited about STEM in other ways. Project Infinite Green deserves great credit for doing that with an innovative, collaborative approach.

I

applaud the students, teachers, parents, and mentors for their great work.”

“We are honored that our students had this opportunity to present their energy-based business plans to members of Congress,” said Catherine Greenspon,a Lemont community member and co-founder of Project Infinite Green. “We hope their presentations will spark innovative ideas on how to implement new energy technologies in our nation, and that it will help grow national

interest in STEM education. I want to thank Congressman Lipinski for all his support and for making this event possible for our students.”

The students’ presentations focused on hydroelectric, nuclear, and solar energy use.

Plans included oscillating water columns designed to harness wave power in states bordered by oceans, solar islands to assist solar generation in states that cannot use traditional solar See STEM, page 8

“New View” continuing work over summer break

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Though the school year is fast coming to a close, but work continues to change the look of the Valley View School District 365u.

Construction plans are set for all-day kindergarten; the final MAP (Measurement for Academic Progress) test scores are ready be to sent home; and additional programs set to change the curriculum are ready to be voted upon by the school board. All of these components will lead to the “new view” that Superintendent James Mitchem and the district introduced last summer.

According to School Board member Rick Gougis, the “new view” is working. Some programs are already in place and others are on the way.

“Just take all-day kindergarten—what a model to jumpstart their education,” Gougis said. “The district made it a priority to focus on changes starting early on to give students the best education possible. The research shows that the early you engage students the better and that all-day kindergarten is what is needed and we are doing it.”

In addition to all-day kindergarten for the next school year, school administrators just introduced a new K-5 benchmark for the literacy program. They are looking for board approval of new materials and resources. According to Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum Venus Smith, data indicates that the district’s core curriculum and instruction must be strengthened in order for all students to be on track for

college and career readiness.

The district reviewed programs that align to the common core state standards in English language arts and that provide a more rigorous curriculum.

It is believed that a coherent curriculum that is used across grade levels is the best way to ensure effective learning.

According to Smith, a team of 19 teachers and administrators reviewed and piloted multiple programs, including Good Habits, Great Readers, Comprehension Toolkits, Units of Study for Reading and Writing, Making Meaning, Words Their Way, Jolly Phonics, Write Habits, and Being a Writer. The team is recommending to the board to purchase and implement the K-5 literacy program entitled, “Benchmark Literacy from Benchmark Education.”

The proposed timeframe for implementation would occur for kindergarten and first grade in the 2012-13 school year, and in grades two through five in the 2013-14 school year.

The “new view” also called attention to assessment and accountability, an element that the introduction of MAP testing took into an account.

Kindergarten through eighth grade students were given MAP testing in the fall, winter and spring to track their academic progress. These assessments are adaptive, computer-based tests that present questions at varying levels of difficulty based on student responses. The tests are used to drill down to specific levels to determine how well a student is doing and where a student needs help. The school district is now looking to expand this testing next year for ninth and 10th grade students.

“MAP continues to provide accountability and fantastic assessment,” Gougis said. “...

With MAP you can see how much a child has grown---that’s a level of accountability that we have never had before. It allows teachers to set a growth target and shows where intervention is needed if necessary.”

The district also is looking to add the Children’s Progress Adaptive Assessment, (CPPA), a Spanish version of the MAP to use for those students who are identified as Limited in their English Proficiency.

“If you look at the big picture, the district has made a lot of changes—but that is not to say

there was a problem with the people involved---there was a problem with the system. The system was not set up correctly.

With the right team work, the support of our teachers and a more rigorous curriculum, we are on way to fixing a big piece of the problem,” Gougis said. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Forum Letter to the Editor

The Mother Road Route 66 is known as “The Mother Road.” This name exemplifies the road in all aspects. When you speak of “Mother” it is a symbol of strength and direction. It also signifies courage and values.

There have been many struggles along this road. As a mother it keeps on going.

Route 66 was at one time Route 66A, which is now Route 53.

During the depression, John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” and Route 66 was a symbol of our nation’s struggle.

Many songs were written about Route 66. One in particular was “King of the Road” and many more.

Route 53, at one time Route

66A, runs through our village known as “old Romeoville.” As a very long 50-year resident I am fortunate to have this historic road as a beacon for future homeowners.

This “Mother Road” is now 86 years old. I remember old movies about Route 66.A road that never ends.The road started in Chicago and went to California. The pioneers of the depression years were given hope to continue while traveling.

I salute all of our farmers, pioneers etc. who traveled the road to their destination. Route 66 was given the correct name “The Mother Road.”

Reducing waste with Styrofoam recycling program It wasn’t too long ago that Valley View School District 365U students tossed more than 2 million lunchtime Styrofoam trays into the trash every year.

But these days, thanks to a cooperative effort between two VVSD departments and a Chicago-area company, that number has been significantly reduced.

“A lot of people say you can’t recycle Styrofoam, but we’re proving that’s not true,” Director of Facility Operations Mike Lopez said. “We may not be the only school district doing it, but we’re one of the very few.”

The effort to be more environmentally conscious at lunchtime began earlier this year when VVSD Food Service Director Meghan Gibbons and her staff completely eliminated the use of all 350,000 Styrofoam trays at the middle and high school levels.

Tyler Christopher immerses himself in a few day’s worth of boxes and bags filled with Styrofoam trays bound for recycling at Dart Container Corporation.

But Lopez and Gibbons weren’t satisfied.

“Dart Container Corporation became aware of the volume

of Styrofoam plates we were throwing out and offered us the opportunity to recycle our elementary school plates,” Lopez

said.

Lopez enlisted newly employed Tyler Christopher, a member of the Romeoville High School Class of 2010 and lifelong VVSD student, to oversee the project… and the rest is history.

Christopher has been the driving force in creating the recycling program, doing everything from helping elementary schools educate students on what constitutes a recyclable tray (“ketchup is this job’s worst nightmare”) to picking up 20,000-30,000 old trays a week at all 12 VVSD elementary schools and driving them to Dart’s North Aurora facility.

Dart shreds and grinds the trays and turns them into small polystyrene pellets that are sold to manufacturers for use in such products as the backing for crown molding or in building construction.The pellets are also

used in pens and rulers.

“I wouldn’t consider myself an environmentalist,” he said.“But it makes me feel good seeing how much we’re actually keeping out of the landfill.”

Christopher credits lunchroom aides and school maintenance personnel with being the on-site implementers of the program.

But most of all, he credits the elementary school children with making an effort to help.

“They clean and stack their trays,” he said. “They’re learning about recycling every day.”

District officials pursued several options, including using more expensive biodegradable trays, before making the decision to recycle. The School District estimates it is saving as much as 50 percent in its trash disposal fees because trash bins aren’t filling up as often.

“They tell me it’s made a huge difference,” Christopher said.

Lukancic students gain a new perspective on world If you’ve been to the Field Museum lately, you may have noticed the huge world globe in the geology hall is gone.

Where is it? Sitting in the Lukancic Middle School Learning Resource Center thanks to the efforts of sixth grade social studies teacher Wendy Sifuentes, Principal Trish Rollerson and variety of other staff members.

“It was a team effort,” Sifuentes emphasized as she recalled receiving word as a Field Museum Ambassador that the Museum no longer needed the globe and was looking for a new home for it.

Two other schools responded first but later discovered they had no room for the massive

rotating object created by Rand McNally for the Museum in the early 1990s. Lukancic was third in line and, when LMC Director Sharon Rabovsky found room in her reference section, Museum officials gave it to the Romeoville School.

Lukancic building engineer Jerry Meiners actually made it happen, transporting the globe to Lukancic.

“We are honored to be the new home for the globe,” said Lukancic Principal Trish Rollerson. “It is exciting for our school, as well as the community, to have such a work of art on display.”

The Field Museum ordered the globe when then-Director Mike Spoke wanted to re-position

some dinosaurs from Stanley Field Hall so the hall could be used to show visitors a sampling of what they could expect throughout the museum. The globe was positioned there to represent the Geology Hall on the second floor.

“Over time, exhibit revisions allowed for the globe to be positioned in the moving earth section of geology on the second floor east,”said Michael Paha from the Field Museum’s Exhibition Department. “Most recently, the exhibits department revised geology again and eliminated the globe from the geology story.”

“It’s really exciting,” Sifuentes said. “We have a little slice of history.The students love it.”

Wendy Sifuentes’ tenth period sixth grade social studies class surrounds the new globe the school received from the Field Museum.

STEM

2011 as a joint effort by community residents and teachers, government officials and corporate partners, to offer students in Lemont the opportunity to learn about the science and business of both non-renewable and renewable energy sources. Industry experts from government and private sector entities—including the U.S. Department of Energy, Navigant, CITGO Petroleum Corporation, Exelon Nuclear, the Clean Energy Trust, Edison

Mission Energy, and Argonne National Laboratory—have participated as mentors.

The bipartisan STEM Education Caucus was founded in 2005 to provide a forum for Congress and the science, education, and business communities to discuss challenges, problems, and solutions related to STEM Education. In addition to serving as co-chair of the STEM Education Caucus, Rep. Lipinski is the ranking member of the Research and Science Education

Subcommittee. A former teacher, he is one of the few members of Congress with a degree in engineering.

“One of the biggest challenges we face is finding a way to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and develop energy sources that are not only sustainable but affordable,” Rep. Lipinski said.

“The more talented, motivated, and skilled young people we have who can lead the effort to overcome that challenge, the better off America will be.”

After not qualifying in the 400-meter relay, the 800 relay had one more chance to make it to finals after missing out the previous two years.

It looked like it wasn’t going to happen, but the comeback queen struck again.

Junior Kaitlyn Hammock, who rallied past Bolingbrook to win the sectional the previous week, did it again Friday at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston by edging out O’Fallon by two hundredths of a second (1:42.71 -1:42.73).

“It’s amazing, I don’t know any other words besides that,” Hammock said.“Yesterday coming across the line I had the biggest smile on my face because I had a come-from-behind win where I out-leaned a girl. The girl I beat out, they didn’t make it to finals.

It was amazing. Finally we are AllState athletes. Today I outkicked Minooka too. I just want to win. I want to be the best.”

Ford looking to achieve rare feat

By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

Perez Ford completed the first stage of a very rare feat in track and field.

Not only did he qualify again for the 100 and 200-meter dash last Thursday at the Lockport Sectional, but he made also qualified in the shot put, for the first time.

BOYS TRACK The combination of qualifying in sprints and throws is a rare and impressive feat.

“This is three years in a row and I finally made it,” Ford said.“I feel great about it. I never really realized it until now. People keep telling me that this isn’t normal.

I wanted to be one of the first

people to ever qualify in both the 100 and shot put. I’m pretty happy.”

“He had a good day today,” Romeoville coach Scott Harper said of Ford.“He was a little down after the discus, but he came back strong in the shot put and finished second on the last throw.”

Ford won the 200 with a time of 21.97 and finished second in both the 100 (10.85) and shot put (51-11.5).

He medaled last year in the 100 and this year he’s looking for more.

“I most definitely think I can make it in the 100,” Ford said. “In shot put, I have to (medal).That’s my No. 1 priority. It’s been three years where I hit the qualifying mark during the regular season and didn’t make state. I have to get it.”

The only event Ford didn’t qualify in was the discus, which gives him more time to focus on the shot.

“Since I’m not going to state in the discus, it’s not going to take up my time anymore,” Ford said.

“I can focus on shot put. During indoor, all I did was shot put and run. That’s how my shot put got so high. Now I have a week to prepare for three events and by focusing on shot put, I can get back in the 55 range.”

Initially he was upset with not qualifying in the discus, but after thinking about it, he thought it might work out well for him.

“I’m mad that I scratched out and they were qualifying marks, but this is my first year of doing the discus,” Ford said.“Now I can See FEAT, page 18

Junior Megan Naylor defends a Naperville North defender.

Not all of Wallace’s players were there to witness her final game, as several of the Spartan seniors decided not to compete in the game.

“Six of our starting seniors weren’t here, so we pulled up JV players,” Wallace said.

So, where were the seniors?

“You have to ask them,” she said. “It was one of those senior things and they choose not to be here. There are no hard feelings, but it was their choice.

Would the game have been any different? Maybe it would

have been 8-0 instead of 10.

I appreciated the young kids coming up and I was happy with how they played.

“We knew it would be the exact kind of game that it was, we just wanted to go out and

give them a good game.”

As for the her career coming to an end, Wallace has no regrets, despite a losing record the last few years.

Several Flyers earn post-season honors Lewis senior center fielder Mike Bolling (Chicago, Ill./ Guerin Prep/Triton) and sophomore right fielder Ben Albano (West Dundee, Ill./ Jacobs) have been named to the Daktronics and American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-Midwest Region Second Teams.

LEWIS The Daktronics honor is voted on by the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) while the ABCA selection is determined by a vote from the region’s coaches.

Additionally, Bolling was named to the nine-member ABCA Midwest Region Gold Glove Team for his defensive play in center.

“Mike and Ben both had outstanding seasons and it is a real honor to have two players named All-Region,” Lewis head coach Tim McDonough said.

Bolling was an All-Great Lakes Valley Conference East Division First Team selection for the Flyers in 2012. He hit .349 and held a .414 on base percentage for the season.

He had a region-best 34 stolen bases.

Defensively, he compiled a .977 fielding percentage with 10 assists.

Bolling threw runners out at the plate in the GLVC Tournament and NCAA Midwest Regional.

“Mike was an offensive force for us and his ability to get on base, steal bases and score runs gave us a weapon that not many teams have,” McDonough said.“I thought the thing that separated him this year was his clutch

hitting with men on base as he came up with some big hits in key RBI situations.”

Albano led the GLVC with 11 home runs.

He finished the 2012 season hitting a team-high .354 with 42 RBI and a team-high .641 slugging percentage. Albano recorded 20 walks to bring his on-base percentage to .426.

Albano was also an All-GLVC East Division First Team honoree.

On April 23 he earned the D2BaseballNews.com National

Player of the Week and GLVC Player of the Week awards.

“Ben really solidified the middle of our order and became a big time power threat every time he came up,” McDonough said. “It is not easy to lead the GLVC in home runs and he really carried us for a portion of the season. There is no doubt that Ben made the other guys in our lineup better by hitting and producing in the cleanup position.

Ben also was greatly improved

defensively and was a key component to us having so much team success this season.”

Bolling and Albano helped Lewis to a 33-22 overall record and Lewis’ first NCAA Midwest Regional bid since 1996. The Flyers tied a program record with 21 GLVC wins.

“To be able to perform at such a high level in both the classroom and the tennis court is truly a remarkable accomplishment.”

Lanstiak, a sophomore psychology major, owns a cumulative grade-point-average of 3.77.

She played a key role in helping the Flyers win the Great Lakes Valley Conference championship and advance to the NCAA Division II ‘Sweet 16’ with a singles record of 36-2 and a combined doubles mark of 36-3.

For her efforts, Lanstiak was named both the GLVC Player of the Year and selected as the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Midwest Region ‘Player To Watch’.

As of May 2nd, Lanstiak was ranked 25th in the country for

singles play.

“I saw it and was right here,” Jones said of the photo finish.“The announcer scared me because he was like Hammock didn’t get it and then a second later he said she did.We were just happy. If we didn’t win it we wouldn’t be here today, so we are happy we have Kaitlyn as our anchor.”

“I was really excited,” Fizer said. “When I was down there I was cheering. I didn’t really realize how important that one hundredth of a second was and if Kaitlyn didn’t lean, we wouldn’t be running today. Power to her for pushing and leaning.”

The Spartans took advantage of their opportunity Saturday by finishing sixth in the state with a time of 1:42.32.

“We had the slowest time coming into (finals),” Hammock said. “Then to beat our (school record) again, and finish in sixth place, is awesome.”

“It feels great,” Jones said. “We just beat our school record for the second time and to finish in sixth place today feels good. We wanted to have fun and enjoy it.”

“It’s definitely a great feeling,” Lilly said. “We pushed each other today. We knew what we wanted and it’s an awesome feeling. It was good and it makes up for last year, especially for Latasha, our senior.”

Romeoville was able to

wasn’t the best record-wise, but it was a fun year.”

Wallace has spent 20 years coaching the Spartans at different levels and always had one goal in mind.

“My goal was always to play with integrity and to not only

pole vault for the Spartans, setting a career mark with a height of 12-9 as the youthful squad picked up some valuable experience.

“I had a lot of freshmen and sophomores running today,” Harper said. “Anthony Balderas, Miguel Ford Gio Darciano and Isaac Collie did good in the 4x1 and 4x2. And our 3200 relay with three freshmen and a sophomore did good, placing eighth.”

overcome the hot weather to post its best time ever.

“The key was to not think about the weather too much,” Lilly said. “We just had to go out and do our best. It was one of my best experiences ever.”

“I never thought we would get this far,” Jones said.“We had a goal of getting to state but I didn’t think we would make it to finals.

We wanted to do better than last year and we did.”

Lilly, Jones and Hammock will all be seniors next year, but they will be without Fizer, who ran her final race Saturday at state.

“It’s definitely going to be hard without her,” Hammock said of Fizer. “She’s been with me since my freshman year. For her not to be a part of it next year is going to be tough. But a lot of the other schools have a lot of girls graduating and we have three juniors coming back.”

“I worked hard all four years and it really paid off,” Fizer said.

“I couldn’t ask for a better relay team. We all worked hard and we did a really good job of PRing the last three meets. We never gave up and gave it 100 percent at practice all the time. We took every meet seriously.”

That final race almost didn’t happen as Fizer didn’t start off the season on the team, but joined it and didn’t miss a beat.

“I’m really happy I came back,” she said.“Although volleyball is my primary sport, this is something I definitely would have regretted if I didn’t come back and run my last year. I’m really happy with the decision I made.” staylor@buglenewspapers.com

coach them on the field, but to teach life lessons,” she said. “To me, that was more important.”

The one thing Wallace does wish was different is that she wishes she knew who would be taking over.

“The only thing I am not

happy about is that I don’t know who is taking over for me with all the RIFing going on,” she said. “I would have liked to know who I could pass the baton to and give then all my stuff. I guess I’ll just put it in a box and lock it up.”

If the new coach needs a key, they won’t have far to look as Wallace said she has no plan to retire to a secluded island.

“I will still be around, I have a lot of old people things to do,” she joked. mark@buglenewspapers.com

Western New York is a sportsman’s paradise

By Dan Stefanich

“Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today. I want to be a part of it New York, New York!”

Okay, I realize that Frank Sinatra definitely didn’t have wild turkey, steelhead, and smallmouth bass in mind when he sang that. But nonetheless, that song was going through my mind as I left Chicago towards Western New York for a recent adventure. Organized by the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers and Niagara Tourism, this trip offered us opportunities to hunt wild turkey and fish some amazing bodies of water. As I quickly discovered, the Niagara Falls region is undoubtedly a must-visit destination for sportsmen.

Lewiston, New York was “home-base” for the trip. Located on the majestic Niagara River, this quaint community had friendly people, amazing history, and a quiet downtown shopping district. Our turkey hunting took place south of Buffalo, in the rolling hills about 20 miles from Lake Erie. With large tracts of timber, open grass meadows interspersed between cornfields, the hunting terrain was not much different than Illinois. With only two days to hunt, we had our work cut out. The early spring severely impacted the turkey behavior. Since birds starting gobbling and chasing early, our hunt was near the end of the mating season presenting a much more challenging hunt. The birds were not very vocal, so locating them was extremely difficult. I saw some giant toms but never filled my tag. I figure they will be there next year when I go back.

A FISHERMAN’S DREAM The Niagara Falls region is with a doubt a fisherman’s dream.

Three bodies of water — Lake Erie,Lake Ontario,and the Niagara River offer a variety of species including walleye, smallmouth bass, salmon, sturgeon, steelhead, lake trout, panfish and catfish.

Did I miss anything? Our group did fantastic on the salmon, boating several 18-pound-plus Kings. Although I didn’t have the opportunity to fish the big lakes, I fished the lower Niagara River several miles below Niagara Falls.

Fishing a three-way rig, we driftfished bouncing a one-ounce weight along the bottom with a five foot trailer line baited with emerald shiners. Our technique was to drift about a quarter mile, then fire up the motor and boat back up river and start the drift again. Pass after pass we hooked into 3 and 4-pound smallmouth and 5-10-pound steelhead. On our last afternoon, my buddy Don Dziedzina hooked into something big. With the drag screaming and line peeling off the reel, we fired up the motor and chased it down river. After one heck of a fight, we boated a giant 18-pound lake trout.

The Niagara River is unlike any water I have ever fished before. The water is a beautiful bluish-green very similar to Lake Michigan, and crystal-clear due to a granite rock bottom. Combined with vertical solid rock walls that confine the river, the scenery is simply spectacular. It’s pretty cool to drift down a river with Canada on one side and the Unites States on the other.

Dan Stefanich and Matt Yablonsky hold up a steelhead and a smallmouth bass while fishing the Niagara River.

For those that remember the smelt fishing phenomenon in Chicago in the early 80’s this is your chance to step back in time.

The smelt are usually running at the end of April and the city of Lewiston hosts a fantastic Smelt Festival.

The Niagara region is not just for hunters and fishermen. History buffs will enjoy Old Fort Niagara.

Built by the French in 1726, the Fort overlooks Lake Ontario at the entrance to the Niagara River.

With some of the oldest buildings in the region, this “living history”

attraction is complete with actors and tour guides that offer a glimpse of life during the war of 1800’s.

THE BUGLE MAY 24, 2012

Eat your vegetables - and your pasta Just about everybody loves pasta and eats it regularly nowadays. Certainly, pasta dishes - from tagliatelle ribbons in cream sauce, to plump little agnolotti filled with pureed squash or sweet corn, to the fluffy potatoand-ricotta dumplings called gnocchi - remain perennial favorites among our guests at Spago and my other restaurants.

But, when I talk to my friends about what they cook at home, it seems that many people are in a pasta rut. Time and time again, they wind up making spaghetti or fettuccine with tomato sauce or Bolognese or cheese sauce.

And they begin to get a little

bit, well, bored with that popular dish they swear they love.

So please let me shake up your home pasta routine with the recipe I share here, while also adding a generous portion of the green vegetables we all should be eating more of (along with a pleasing and calcium-packed share of fluffy ricotta, creamy mascarpone, and gooey mozzarella cheeses).

I think many people shy away

from filled and baked pasta recipes because, as the familiar words you see on the boxes of complicated children’s toys, there is“some assembly required.”

But this dish is a lot easier to put together than a child’s plaything - and you can do some of the work in advance, not to mention the fact that you get to eat the delicious results.

The recipe starts with sheets of freshly made pasta, for which I include an easy recipe. But you can also find ready-to-use fresh pasta sheets in some Italian delis.

(Ask for pasta sheets if you don’t see it on display; they may have them in the back, displaying

only already-cut noodles for purchase.) If you like, you can mix the filling, fill and cut the pasta rounds, and put them into the individual-serving tart pans up to several hours in advance; just cover each pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until baking time.

For the filling, bags of prewashed baby spinach leaves make preparation extra easy. Feel free to embellish the vegetable mixture, including some sauteed mushrooms, for example, or slivers of sun-dried tomato. It’s OK to use reduced-fat ricotta and mozzarella, too.

The tomato-garlic-basil sauce

that accompanies the pasta rounds may also be prepared ahead of time, awaiting gentle reheating and stirring in of the fresh basil strips shortly before serving time. But here’s another convenient tip: If you don’t want to go to the effort of making that part of the recipe, feel free simply to heat up your own favorite, good-quality bottled brand of tomato-based pasta sauce instead.

It can be that easy. My recipe for Fresh Pasta Rounds with Spinach-Ricotta Mousse will make any pasta lover look at the old favorite with fresh new interest.

FRESH PASTA ROUNDS WITH SPINACH-RICOTTA MOUSSE Serves 8

1 pound ricotta 8 ounces mascarpone 1/2 pound organic baby spinach leaves 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup pine nuts 3/4 pound shredded mozzarella 1 large cage-free egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 ounces freshly grated Parmesan Fresh Pasta Dough (recipe follows) All-purpose flour, for dusting Tomato-Garlic Basil Sauce (recipe follows) Put the ricotta, mascarpone, and half the spinach in a

food processor. Pulse on and off until pureed. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat.Add the remaining spinach and saute until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Chop coarsely and set aside.

In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until light golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Fold the mozzarella, egg, salt, pepper, nuts, spinach, and half the Parmesan into the cheese mixture. Set aside.

Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 piece to a 20-by-4-inch rectangle; trim as needed. Evenly spread a fourth of the filling over the lower two thirds of the rectangle’s length. Starting at the filled edge, roll up lengthwise,

BASIC PASTA DOUGH Makes about 1-1/2 pounds

3 cups all-purpose flour 8 large cage-free egg yolks 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 to 3 tablespoons water All-purpose flour, for dusting In a food processor, combine the flour, yolks,

salt, oil, and 2 tablespoons water. Process until the dough begins to hold together. Stop the machine and pinch the dough; if it feels too dry, pulse in up to 1 more tablespoon to form a moist ball.

Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand into a smooth ball. Loosely wrap in plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour before preparing as directed.

TOMATO-GARLIC-BASIL SAUCE Makes about 2-1/2 cups

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, minced 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon tomato paste 2 pounds Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 cup good-quality canned chicken broth, heated 6 to 8 fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips Salt Freshly ground black pepper

In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and saute 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomato paste and then the tomatoes; saute 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in the broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the basil.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.

forming a 20-by-1-inch cylinder. Cut crosswise into 20 equal pieces. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the remaining butter and brush the insides of 8 individual 4-inch tart pans. Inside each, arrange 10 pasta slices, cut side up; it will be a tight squeeze. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Using a potholder, invert each pan onto the tray and lift off to unmold the pasta. Continue baking until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

To serve, spoon some sauce onto 8 warmed plates.

With a wide spatula, transfer the pasta to the plates.

Pass the remaining sauce on the side.

Real Estate & Business

My food, my roof, my account Dear Dave, I’m a single dad with two teenagers at home.

My 15-year-old son wants to open a checking account of his own, but he doesn’t want me or anyone else to have access to it. Should I just let him do this and suffer the consequences I know are coming?

Tim Dear Tim, When it comes to 15-year-olds, as a parent you have every right to say,“My food, and my roof.You do what I say.” With kids this age you never know what you’re getting. Half the time you’re talking to a 35-year-old, and the other half they’re 5 again.

At that age, I think you let them do, or not do, these things based on their ability to perform well in life.To the extent they behave and show some sense, you lengthen then rope and give them more freedom and privileges. If they act like doofuses, you shorten

the rope. Remember, no is a complete sentence.

If it were my son, I’d sit him down and gently explain that he doesn’t have the capacity or knowledge to manage this idea by himself just yet. You wouldn’t turn your child lose behind the wheel of a car the moment they wanted to drive, right? So make yourself a part of the experience by teaching him to handle money wisely. Then, as he matures in financial understanding, you can give him more leeway.

If he wants to go dramatic on you, let him.And remind him that for every minute he’s in drama mode, that’s less leeway he’s getting in this matter and every other one in his life. In other words, the more mature you act, son, the better your existence is going to be.

No, at 15 he’s not opening a checking account on his own.

—Dave Dear Dave, I have a 20-year level term life insurance policy. I noticed the other day that the cost would increase to $4,000 per year at the end of the term. Is that because it’s the end of the policy

coverage or something else?

Tate Dear Tate, Technically, the policy will expire at the end of the term. But most companies that sell term life insurance will let you renew it, if you can’t get any other insurance, at a ridiculously high rate. But let’s face it, 20 years down the road your probability of death has also increased.

The older you are, statistically speaking, the more likely you are to die.

If it were me, and I’m near the end of that policy, I’d go buy another 20-year level term policy, and let the old one run out.The only time you might run into trouble with a policy like that is if you were in the last year of coverage, and were diagnosed with a terminal illness. Then you’re really going to be paying through the nose to keep your coverage intact.

But the real point of a 20-year level term policy is to ensure that your family is taken care of while the kids are at home and your mortgage is covered if you See DAVE, page 27

How to get employee in need into therapy Q. I have an employee that seriously needs some psychotherapy.

He is touchy and defensive, and he alienates his coworkers. He is also brilliant and productive. How do I bring up the topic without making him believe I’m questioning his mental health?

A. You can bring up the idea diplomatically, but you must start by realizing we have a lot of inaccurate myths about what psychotherapy is and what it means if an adult is in therapy. Therapy is simply adult education in emotional and communication issues. If you present it as training, you’ll get further than if you suggest your employee is nuts.

The myth of why adults do therapy is that they are less well adjusted and weaker than the rest of the population.

The truth is when we test the mental health of adults in private psychotherapy, the average mental health of these individuals is much higher than adults who never do therapy.

The theory behind these results is that people who can admit they make mistakes, have room to learn, and are curious about how to improve their interpersonal toolkit are stronger and more resilient than people who believe they need no help.

Start by meeting privately with your employee. Point out the specific situations you’ve noticed where you believe he may be missing some communication skills. Emphasize that you find him brilliant and productive, so he gets the idea you are talking

about his skills with people not his overall value as a human being.

Point out some alternative language or approaches he could use with coworkers. Let him know that you find him a quick study and want to pair him with a “coach” who can teach him some powerful communication tools.

Do research before you talk with him to find a psychotherapist who can also do executive workplace coaching, so you can give your employee a list of names. Make it clear to your employee that you simply want him to learn new interpersonal skills.

Before you leave the meeting, get a commitment from him that he will call the list of professionals you offered and set up at least one meeting. Also, have a list of skills you want him to learn so he has a performance improvement plan.

If possible, offer some training funds to help cover the cost of part of the therapy. Anything you can do to make counseling more like a class and less like a negative judgment about his sanity will help motivate him to pursue therapy.

If you’ve been in therapy

yourself, or had a friend or family member benefit from counseling, find ways to mention what you learned.

Employees who have role models that know the practical results of therapy will be more enthusiastic about seeking help for themselves.

Make sure you stay in touch with your employee and praise his developing skills. Nothing motivates positive change like appreciation for the behavior an employee has already transformed.

The last word(s) Q. I’d like to start a family. I just was offered a great job, but it involves extensive travel. Is there a way to do both?

A. No, you can’t change diapers from a distance.
