Part of Veterans Gateway no longer zoned residential By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

After careful consideration, the Romeoville Village Board opted to no longer classify a section of Veterans Gateway as residential in its future land use plan. The village adopted its Comprehensive Plan in 2001, and within it a future land use map, which dictates the desired uses for each piece of land in the village’s planning area and serves as a living document which changes from time to time, according to village officials. The village passed an amendment that changes the future land use map designation for the Veterans Gateway piece, approximately 9.5 acres,located on Veterans Parkway just west of Hudson and just north of the Misty Ridge Subdivision (12250 Veterans Parkway). A developer is seeking to annex and zone the property as planned business. If the developer goes through with the annexation, the board would review and vote on the annexation and zoning of a planned unit development,

typically allowing for the construction of a warehouse/ light industrial building of smaller size. However, before the annexation can be pursued, the future land use map needed to change. The Planning and Zoning board did not pass the move, but village board members believe the process was not understood properly. Mayor John Noak emphasized that nothing is being constructed now and if there would be a potential building, all committees and the village board would have a chance to vote on the matter. It was the general consensus that the property was no longer viable in today’s economy to serve as residential, and that it would be prudent for the village to map this out now while it has the opportunity before a neighboring village could attempt to annex the village and take the control out of Romeoville. The new designation would match the properties to the north and west of the area.

Police say stabbing victim, suspect knew each other By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Romeoville Police say the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old May 16 in a Jewel Food parking lot was not gang-related, but was a matter of a fight that escalated between two men who already knew one another. “This was not a random victim,” said Deputy Chief Steve Lucchesi.“There was no apparent premeditation for a stabbing to occur. A fight broke out between two people who knew each other, and the offender stabbed his opponent. Nobody at the store

was targeted for any harm.”.” A 17-year-old Joliet boy died as a result of stab wounds after a fight at 8:45 p.m. Thursday, May 16, at the store 20 S. Weber Road. Fabian Almodovar, 22, of Romeoville, was charged with first-degree murder. Lucchesi said neither person is a known gang member. They were acquaintances who were initially riding in the same car together with two other people. The pair started to argue, and it turned physical inside the car. Lucchesi reported that the two exited and started to physically fight outside of the car.

Shortly after the fight ended, Almodovar pulled out a knife and re-engaged the other person who then started backing away. Almodovar then stabbed the person. Officers found Almodovar in a bathroom inside the Jewel store. “I do understand the safety concern,” Lucchesi said. “This was a violent incident that occurred at a business that was open with customers in the area. The only connection that this incident had with Jewel is the subjects were going there to make a purchase. They did not go there to fight. It is safe to continue shopping at Jewel.”

Village moves ahead with projects, purchases By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

With this year’s budget approved last month, the village is moving forward with several projects and purchases. A host of equipment purchases and public works projects were approved and are now in the works for this year including among others a sewer cleaner and portable pump totaling nearly $500,000. In addition, the village entered into a $150,000 contract with Metropolitan Industries for the installation of the Lake Strini Well House Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection Unit that is expected to change operations pending EPA regulations, allowing for instant sanitizing and real-time monitoring. This will be the first time the village will be experimenting with the

Put on hold since 2011, the second phase of the Budler Road bike path will come to reality this year, thanks, in part, to a $50,000 grant. The path will now continue along the Commonwealth Edison easement along Budler Road. In the recreation department, the Thor Guard Lightning Warning System will be integrated for the village’s larger parks including Century, Village, Volunteer, and Wesglen parks. The system can predict if lightning should strike within 2.5 miles. In addition, the recreation department will purchase six portable light towers to be used at various fields and special events.

district has been centered on a goal and belief system based on rigor, instruction, assessment and accountability. New this year is a strategic plan that backs up that philosophy, with an objective to continue with current initiatives and strengthen efforts linking student success to programs based on research-based best practices. The strategic plan is to concentrate on four major areas including student learning opportunities that connect to the community; teaching and learning; staff support and development; and policies, procedures, finances and facilities.The plan is expected to align the district’s efforts and create a system of increased accountability. It is meant to be seen as a living document that will be used during the next three to five years. The district plans to embrace technology in the classroom and used various models at the forum to share with the public some avenues of success. What was called its largest achievement, all-day kindergarten kicked off this school year and is already showing a significant impact on student learning. When compared with last year’s half-day kindergarten results, student’s average RIT scores

have increased from 11.3 in Reading to 18.6 for this year’s full-day students, and from 12.6 to 19.9 in Math. District officials say Measures of Academic Progress scores in both reading and math, in grade kindergarten through eighth grade, have steadily increased each year since 2011. Director of Data and Assessment Kelly Gilbert reported the national average for students meeting typical growth is 50 percent.The district is above this benchmark for both subjects in nearly every grade level. In reading, kindergarten is at 74 percent; first grade, 68 percent; second grade, 69 percent; third grade, 68 percent; fourth grade, 65 percent; fifth grade, 66 percent; sixth grade, 60 percent; seventh grade, 59 percent; eighth grade, 60 percent; ninth grade, 59 percent; tenth grade, 49 percent; and eleventh grade, 63 percent. In math, kindergarten is at 76 percent; first grade, 72 percent; second grade, 70 percent; third grade, 73 percent; fourth grade, 66 percent; fifth grade, 69 percent; sixth grade, 64 percent; seventh grade, 60 percent; eighth grade, 60 percent; ninth grade, 62 percent; tenth grade, 59percent; and eleventh grade, 66 percent.

In regard to student learning opportunities that connect the community to the district, it hopes to continue an ongoing plan to develop a culture that is supportive of its diverse community. Plans are for more community and parent outreach and in multiple languages; increased professional development on making content connect to diverse cultures; development of business relationships; and continued partnerships with local colleges and universities. At the heart of teaching and learning, the college and career readiness and common core standards will be implemented, aligning the curriculum across grade levels and content areas and in all assessment and accountability measures. Goals include an annual decrease in the achievement gaps among student groups. School administrators will see 100 percent of teachers using proven instructional practices and engaged learning techniques. Common core state standards implementation includes the 2012-2013 new math curriculum for K-8; new literacy curriculum/ materials for K-5 in 2013-2014; the development of curriculum for 6-12 English/Language Arts, Mathematics 9-12, and

rotating cycle for non-core areas and electives. In addition, curriculum alignment for preK-12 and across content areas; planning for systemic implementation of social emotional learning standards; and the alignment for bilingual and special education students. How students will be taught will also change to some degree, with the development of universal instructional expectations; an increase in professional development to support teachers; online tools; and co-teaching models. Further assessment will continue with MAP and data will be used to directly impact classroom instruction and student achievement. A new-standards based report card for K-3 will be developed to provide more information and be more usable. The district says it is committed to its staff, providing support for its teachers as well as will be hiring highly qualified personnel based on common criteria for all 21 schools and ancillary departments. In addition, a report of the district’s policies, procedures, finances and facilities were given.The entire plan and all reports are posted on the school’s website at www.vvsd. org, including video of both forums.

Horoscopes The week ahead may begin with several serious concerns that occupy either your time or your mind but by the end of it, you will have gained experience and learned that you can handle almost anything.

You can pinch plenty of pennies in the upcoming week, but just be sure you don’t sell yourself short. Don’t let a passing criticism, or a lack of support and appreciation from others, undermine your confidence.

The darkest night may be a bridge to the brightest tomorrow. Although the week might have a slow start that makes you fear you’ve come to a dead end, you will be able to rekindle your enthusiasms.

You will be amazed at what you can accomplish if you do not let other people set limits on your happiness. Watch your pennies and be thrifty in the week ahead, but remain generous with yourself.

The sun sets every night, but rises the next morning. Don’t allow a few setbacks or obstacles in the early part of the week to break your spirit. Rally your energies and look to the future.

Apply mind over matter. During the coming week, you may be challenged to keep your spirits up when subjected to depressing headlines or a barrage of dull routines. You can rise above it all.

Money isn’t everything. In the week ahead, you may learn that simplicity, patience and compassion are the greatest treasures. Attend to the necessities of life, but don’t let them become your sole purpose.

The world sometimes changes so fast that you are challenged to keep up. Use your imagination to overcome obstacles. Be sure to honor your commitments this week to sidestep disapproval.

Judge your level of success by the seeds you can sow, not the harvest you can reap. Unless you exercise self-discipline, you may be challenged to make all the ends meet this week.

The only thing to fear is fear itself. In the week ahead, you could teeter-totter between feeling somewhat insecure and retreating from situations to dynamic micromanagement of all the minute details.

Problems won’t bother you unless you let them. Don’t let criticism or passing unpleasantness get under your skin early in the week. Wear a hard shell like a turtle and protect yourself from troubles.

Diamonds glitter brightest after being polished. Don’t be too concerned about occasional abrasiveness in the world around you this week. Challenges give strength of character a chance to develop.

Romeoville transitions to the future Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

As the season went on this year, the Romeoville baseball team began to transition from now to the future as Dave Haskins and the coaching staff began to infuse young players into the lineup. The season ended May 23 with a 4-0 loss to Neuqua Valley in the Romeoville Regional semifinal. “I am proud of their efforts and the direction we are headed,” Haskins said.“We are competitive against the best teams. We saw a heck of a pitcher and Mitch Zack did a nice job for us and kept us in the ballgame.” The Spartans reached the semifinal after beating Oswego East 8-5 in the regional quarterfinal. In that game, sophomore Josh Krueger earned the win on the mound and also posted a 4-for-4 game at the plate. While Romeoville loses five players from the starting lineup in Zack, Michael Torres, Brian Hurley, Brandon Lisak and Ryan Fetzer, the Spartans have the young talent coming back like Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Sophomore Josh Krueger batted over .400 on the season for Romeoville.

Hefler an Academic All-American For the second-straight year, Lewis University senior Jayme Hefler (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West) has been named to the Capital One Academic AllAmerica Division II Softball Second Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Hefler, a four-year starter at outfield for the Flyers, owned a 3.72 cumulative GPA in athletic training following the Fall ‘12 semester. She led Lewis to a runner-up finish in the GLVC Tournament

and a NCAA regional tournament bid, as she topped the Flyers in batting average (.388), runs (45), hits (57), on-base percentage (.477) and stolen bases (26). “Jayme epitomizes the type of student-athlete that Lewis coaches strive to recruit, which is someone who achieves equal success in both the classroom and on the playing field.” Lewis head softball coach George DiMatteo said.

BASEBALL Lewis University senior pitcher Matt Frahm (McLean, Ill./ Olympia) and junior outfielder Jake Murray (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North) were named to the 2013 NCAA Division II Baseball Midwest Regional All-Tournament Team on Sunday (May 19). Frahm (8-2) threw a complete-

game to earn the 5-4 victory over Ashland on May 17 to advance in the tournament. Frahm gave up four runs, two earned, on 10 hits, while striking out six and walking one. In the 13-1 loss to Bellarmine, Frahm broke up the shutout with his first career hit and RBI with a single to left field. He also earned the save in the Flyers’ 11-8 win over Drury on May 16, throwing two innings in relief while striking out two. With two outs in the top of the ninth inning, Murray hit a tworun home run to give the Flyers the 5-4 victory over Ashland. Starting in all four games in the Regional Tournament in left field, Murray batted .305, hit three doubles and a home run for a .769 slugging percentage. He also drew three walks. The Flyers completed the season with a 33-18 record.

Mayra Moreno and the Spartans finished their 2013 season.

Spartans’ moving in right direction By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

In his first season as head coach of the Romeoville girls soccer team, Philip Wicyk is happy with the way the season went, despite the season coming to an end with a 10-0 loss at the hands of Naperville North, who reached the Bolingbrook Sectional final.

The Spartans posted a record of two wins, 15 losses and one tie, but took a step in the right direction. “Overall, I believe we are moving in the right direction,” Wicyk said. “Though our record doesn’t show it, I believe our team made some great progress towards changing the program. Our possession and aggressiveness were the two

aspects of the season that stuck out the most. Throughout our season, our ability to be able to hold onto a ball and have the confidence to possess the ball grew as a team and I believe we will continue to grow in the coming years.” That team growth came with growth of individual young See DIRECTION, page 18

Skye Osborne got some experience on the mound this year for Romeoville as a freshman.

Spartans fall in semifinals By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Just when Romeoville found itself in a hole in the regional opener, the Spartans put up three runs to cut the Lockport lead to 8-4, but the Porters roared back and Carly Dundee ended the game and the Romeoville season with a walk-off grand slam, her second homer of the game. “We couldn’t shut down their offense. It was on fire and we couldn’t get them out,” said Romeoville coach Christina Douglas. “We scored when we had some chances, but you can’t defend the long ball.” After three Porter runs in the first, senior Raven Lemon drove in a run to cut the lead to 3-1. After Lockport posted five more, Romeoville came back with three unearned runs in the fifth. Freshman starting pitcher Skye Osborne (2-for2, 2 runs, 2 RBI) hit a two-run double to left field and scored

on an error to make it 8-4. It was the second inning in the first five where the Spartans left the bases loaded. Along with Osborne, sophomore Ashley Beck also had two hits. With the loss, the Spartans (718) bid farewell to their seniors: Lemon, Taylor Chazinski, Abby Smith, Cece Floyd, Brianna Mckinnie, Brianna Floyd and Paige Koranda. “I am losing a great defense,” Douglas said. “The whole outfield is gone, shortstop is gone. Their dedication for myself and for this program is not going unnoticed. I wish them the best of luck.You can’t ask for more from a senior class. It was rough for them and they led by example.” There is a lot of youth coming back, especially freshmen pitchers Osborne and Annamariah Cajigas. Douglas said the young players have to have the dedication to the program that the departing seniors had. “When you get down to the

freshmen pitchers, they have to work,” Douglas said. “It stinks that this had to happen, but maybe this will trigger something and make them work harder because we need it. We have to be able to shut down good teams. Like I said before, you can’t defend the long ball. We need the ball on the ground or routine plays.” The way for those young players to get to the point of their graduating counterparts is simply putting in the hard work, Douglas said. “We have work to do,” she said. “We need to play in the offseason. The kids have to commit to preparing to play at this level. If we don’t put in any work in the offseason, whether it is playing summer ball or coming to our 25 contact days in the summer, we are not going to get anywhere.” Douglas said that desire to improve has to come from each player individually.

Slammers split with Freedom; even record at 4-4 The Joliet Slammers (4-4) split the first two games of the season with the Florence Freedom (44), dropping the second game of the series, 7-5. Joliet starter Brett Zawacki was not on top of his game, as he lasted only four innings, allowing four runs on eight hits. The Slammers tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the first on a Grant DeBruin RBI single after the Freedom took the lead in the top half of the frame. The tie would not last long as Florence retook the lead in the top of the second when Edwin Padua hit a sacrifice fly to right field, driving Jacob Tanis home to make it a 2-1 Freedom lead. The Slammers went quietly in the bottom half of the second and Florence added two more in the third. Eric Groff led the inning off with a single and he was promptly batted home on an RBI double from Byron Wiley. Wiley would come around to score the second run in the inning after Jim Jacquot hit a RBI double of his own to give the freedom a 4-1 lead. In the bottom of the fourth the Slammers would take the lead for the first time. Kyle Maunus led off with a single and Tyler Goodro walked to put two on with one out in the inning. Javan Williams drove in the Slammers’ second run on a RBI single. That would bring up Nate Wilder with two on and still only one out. Wilder hit a hooking fly ball down the right field line that cleared the wall and was ruled fair and a home run by home plate umpire Booter West. The three-run homer for Wilder would not only give Joliet a 5-4 lead, but it’s the first home run for the Slammers this season. The game would remain that way for the next two innings but in the seventh, Lucas Goodgion would surrender a deep threerun homer to right-center field by Byron Wiley to give Florence a 7-5 lead. The Slammers had runners at the corners with the winning run at the plate in the ninth but Marquis Riley would strikeout to end the ballgame. One bright spot however for Joliet was Chase Doremus who pitched two and two third innings of relief. Doremus faced eight batters and he retired

them all, striking out six. In the series opener, starter Chuck Lofgren (2-0) stuck out eight; overpowering the Freedom through seven innings, and leading the Joliet Slammers to a 6-4 win in the first victory in franchise history against the Freedom Friday night. Florence got on the board in the first inning after Groff crushed a ball to left field for a solo home run. It was the only lead of the night for the Freedom, as Joliet would respond in the third with three runs. DeBruin led off the third with a single and Goodro followed him to the bases after getting hit by a pitch. Matthew Scruggs would come to the dish and drive in the Slammers’ first run of the ballgame on an RBI single Javan Williams filled the bases after a beautiful bunt down the third base line that would rest inches from the chalk in fair territory. After Wilder popped out to the catcher, Michael Wing drove in two more to make it a 3-1 game on a two RBI single. Florence would get one run back in the sixth, but Joliet would respond in the seventh with three more runs to make it 6-2 Slammers after seven innings. The Freedom made things interesting in the eighth after picking up two runs on a Maunus throwing error, but Shawn Kale would strike out Byron Wiley, Jacob Tanis and Ryan Skellie consecutively to limit the damage and end the inning. Justin Erasmus would then close things down in the ninth for Joliet, picking up his third save of the year and securing the first win over the Freedom in club history. A game earlier, Gateway Grizzlies’ starter Chris Enourato shut out the Joliet offense through seven innings, only giving up two hits and striking out five as the Grizzlieswon the rubber match of the three game series by a score of 8-1. The Slammers had ace Evan Anundsen (1-1) on the mound who only lasted four innings, allowing five runs on seven hits. The Slammers have yet to score first in a contest this year as Gateway again struck first Thursday night in the bottom of the second inning. First baseman Jon Myers hit a solo home run to

make it a 1-0 ballgame. In the bottom of the third the Grizzlies would touch-up Anundsen for three more runs. Michael Pair led off with a home run and Jonathan Johnson would follow with a single. Chris McClendon drove Johnson home on an RBI double and then Jose Flores would follow McClendon by driving him home with an RBI double of his own. It was 4-0 Gateway after three innings. The Grizzlies would add three more runs, one in the fourth and two more coming in the fifth to make it a 7-0 ballgame. Joliet would load the bases in the eighth inning after starter Enourato exited the game. However the Slammers could only bring home one run on a bases-loaded walk to Kyle Maunus. Joliet won the middle game of the series behind starter Corey Kimes who held the Gateway Grizzlies to two runs on five hits. Kimes also struck out four batters, pitching into the eighth inning as Joliet held onto a 3-2 victory over Gateway or the first road victory of the year. The offense also woke up just enough in game number two scoring three runs, after being shutout, 2-0 in the first game of this three game series. The Grizzlies would strike first, but the Slammers would respond and never look back. In the bottom of the first with the bases loaded, right fielder Jet Butler hit a line drive that hit the field umpire, scoring Jonathan Johnson from third and refilling the bases after the dead ball. But Jon Myers followed by grounding into an inning ending double play. DeBruin and Goose Kallunki led off the top of the second with back-to-back singles. Goodro moved both runners over with a sacrifice. After Scruggs grounded out to third, Javan Williams delivered a twoout, RBI single, tying the game. The game would remain tied until the sixth inning. Michael Wing and Maunus led off the inning with back-to-back singles and Seth Schwindenhammer drove in Wing on a RBI single and was thrown out at second trying to stretch the hit into a double. DeBruin would hit a sacrifice fly to drive Maunus home to make it a 3-1 ballgame.

Chuck Lofgren improved to 2-0 on the year by defeating the Freedom.

The Grizzlies would add one run in the bottom of the sixth but the combination of relievers Goodgion, Doremus and Justin Erasmus would carry the Slammers to their first road win of the year. The Slammers fell to the Gateway Grizzlies 2-0 at GCS Ballpark in the first road game of the 2013 season.

The Slammers were their own worst enemy Tuesday night as they committed four errors, as both of the runs the Grizzlies scored were unearned. Gateway starter Tucker Jensen was stellar tonight, throwing seven innings, allowing only four hits and striking out nine. At the end of the game, the Slammers struck out a total of 12 times.

THE BUGLE MAY 30, 2013

Real Estate & Business

Move to new house or set family boundaries? Dear Dave, I live outside Houston with my wife and our 9-monthold daughter. I’ve received a job offer from a company on the other side of the city that would pay, with bonuses, $25,000 a year more than I’m currently making. This would require moving to a new house and away from our extended family. My wife wants to move because my mom can be a little overbearing. I understand how she feels, but I’m not certain I want to move or take a new job.

Altering a baby step

What’s your advice? David Dear David, I’m not so sure this is a job change question as much as it is about the state of your relationships. I know it’s hard to keep the grandparents away when there’s a baby in the house; that kind of goes with the territory. But I can also understand how lots of unexpected visits and unsolicited advice can wear on a person. If it were me, I wouldn’t change jobs just to run from something. My advice is to try setting boundaries in your relationships with your parents instead of installing geographical boundaries. You might want to pick up a copy of Dr. Henry Cloud’s great book Boundaries. Remember, your mom may not realize she’s intruding on your lives.This book is full of insight, and it will give you both some good advice on how to manage relationships in a healthy, loving way. —Dave

Dear Dave, My husband and I are debt-free except for our mortgage, and we make $65,000 a year.At this point, we have only $17,000 left to pay on the house.We haven’t fully gotten into all the retirement planning you say should come before paying off your home. But with so little left on the house, should we attack this last bit of debt and pay it off as soon as possible? We can have it done in five or six months. Nancy Dear Nancy, I don’t see anything wrong with going ahead and knocking out the house, especially if you’re that close to making it happen. Normally, the people I talk to still have $100,000 to $200,000 left on their mortgages.This is a little bit different story. Usually, I’m pretty hardcore about sticking with the proper order while doing the Baby Steps. But I think that’s exactly what I’d do. —Dave

Respect always trumps popularity in the workplace Q. I am very nice at work and starting to suspect that nice is a bad idea as a workplace strategy. I bring goodies for coworkers’ birthdays, volunteer to help people when they are overwhelmed, and stay late if a customer has a crisis. I’ve also been passed over for three promotions and given tiny raises and not much appreciation. Am I doing something wrong? A.Yes, you are failing to realize that the workplace is a contest about respect, not popularity.You can win the popularity award at work and fail to get any of the prizes because people do not necessarily respect the people that they like. At work, what you need to demonstrate is competency, boundaries and authority. Notice that these traits are not about having everyone in your workplace approve of you. Women are more likely to assume that if they are liked, people will promote them, give them raises and promote their “brand” in their workplace. Keep in mind that salary differences between women and men are still about 30 cents on the dollar. Women tending to go for approval may have a lot to do with this ongoing difference. Being able to navigate workplace politics effectively doesn’t mean swinging to the other side of the “nice” spectrum and campaigning to be the office bad ass.The office jerk may win a workplace battle here and there, but in the long run everyone will make sure they get even, not mad. Consider the actual jungle next time you walk into your workplace jungle.The most effective animals are those that command respect, exude

authority but don’t make a point to attack unless provoked. Pin one of these animals up in your cubicle and may it your new role model. Celebrating birthdays and being helpful are fine occasional choices.You do earn interpersonal chips when you are nice that you can spend when you need favors.You may also enjoy the emotional rewards of being nice. However, day to day, it is more important to solve problems, bring in money and make it clear you are not a doormat. Realize it is simply a common belief in business that nice people are synonymous with “people who don’t want anything.”Your coworkers and boss may indeed decide you don’t want or need anything at work beyond what you already have. If you actually want to move up the food chain, make niceness the salt you sprinkle on your work not the main course you present to others.

The last word(s) Q. I’d like to have more authority at work. Is there a way I can confront my boss about not giving it to me? A. No, authority is a byproduct of doing what makes your boss’s job easier not something you demand.
