RHS Graduates!

Class of 2012 looks to future

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The Romeoville High School Class of 2012 stood proud, accepting their diplomas and a path for an exciting new future, as they graduated this past Sunday afternoon.

Alex Lurie was named as the Salutatorian and Catherine Ives-Louter as the Valedictorian. The Madrigal Senior Song attempted to sum up the student experience: “We try to take the time to let love grow. Don’t ignore the sands of time. Just let a little love in, yours and mine. Friends come and friends will go. The ones that last a lifetime savor so. Life flows on, so sublime, But only if we stop and take some time. Every season, listen to the rhythm of the earth and sky; the rhyme and the reason of living in today, while thinking of tomorrow.

Days pass and nights unfold. The innocence of youth becomes the wisdom of the old. We must remember love and once again, we’ll learn to live a life we love. Amen.”

Fundraisers continue on run-up to Relay for Life

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Over the past several months, 143 participants have been raising funds for Romeoville’s Relay for Life to support the American Cancer Society.

The official event will be held Saturday, June 30 at Romeoville Municipal Center and is an overnight event that brings the community together in the fight

against cancer. The idea is to celebrate the lives of those that have cancer, remember those lost to the disease, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.

Twenty-two teams of local businesses, schools, churches, community groups and families have already been raised nearly $27,000 in funds with various pre-Relay events such as the Donating Divas & Dudes

fundraiser to be held from 6 to 9 p.m. June 14 at the Mongolian Grill in the Bolingbrook Promenade Mall.

Croon for a Cure will be sponsored by the village of Romeoville team from 7 p.m. to close at Stella’s Bar and Grill on 135th Street and Weber Road. There will be karaoke, pizza, raffles, and silent auctions throughout the event.

In addition, the team will be

selling $5 raffle tickets with a first prize of $500; second and third prize of $250 and fourth and fifth prize of $125. The drawing will be held during the Relay on June 30 at 6 p.m. on the main stage. Winner need not be present.

These funds and those collected at the event will go to support cancer research to help find cures and to provide local programs aimed at helping

people stay well, get well and fight back.

American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life is a 12-hour community and volunteer-based fund raising event. Cancer never stops; therefore, for 12 hours, participants take turns walking around a track to symbolize the life of a cancer patient. Everyone is encouraged to come out and See RELAY, page 4

School District adopts new instruction, assessment programs

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Making good on promises to change the system in whichValley View School District operates, the school board adopted several new programs aimed at changing both instruction and assessment for the following school year.

A new K-5 benchmark for literacy program will introduce new materials and resources that are aligned with new common core standards and the district’s initiative to strengthen its curriculum in order for all students to be on track for college and career readiness.

According to Assistant

RELAY Continued from page 3 support those involved with the relay.

The Relay for Life begins at 2 p.m. with the opening ceremony and the Cancer Survivor’s Victory

Superintendent Venus Smith, a team of 19 teachers and administrators reviewed and piloted multiple programs. The district will be implementing the K-5 literacy program, entitled “Benchmark Literacy from Benchmark Education.”

Implementation will begin in kindergarten and first grade in the 2012-13 school year and in grades two through five in the 2013-14 school year.

The curriculum will cost the district approximately $850,000 and will include various materials and resources for instruction including professional development in the areas of phonemic awareness,

phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, writing, and technology integration; whole group and small group resources for comprehension instruction (Big Books, Leveled Readers, posters, comprehension anchor charts and graphic organizers); phonemic awareness and phonics resources (grades K-2); word study resources (Grades 3-5); fluency and vocabulary resources; writer’s workshop resources; teacher, coach, and administrator toolkits (to support professional development); assessment toolkits with online assessment opportunities; interactive whiteboard resources; talking e-Books; and bilingual

components will be available.

Other programs will take a look at assessment.

Kindergarten through eighth grade students were given Measures of Academic Progress testing in the fall, winter and spring to track their academic progress. These assessments are adaptive, computer-based tests that present test 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 now approved the assessment to expand and be used in the ninth and 10th

grades, where there is currently no such testing.

In addition, the district will add the Children’s Progress Adaptive Assessment, the Spanish version of MAP testing, to use for those students who are identified as limited in their English proficiency. Currently there are 2,100 students in limited English proficiency classes and 800 students are taught primarily in Spanish.According to the district, this will now allow teachers and administrators to collect data to guide reading and math instruction as is done in general education.

Lap. Teams begin walking after the Cancer Survivor’s Victory Lap and continue throughout the event.

At 9 p.m., a candlelight Luminaria Ceremony is held to honor cancer survivors and to remember loved ones who have died from the disease. This ceremony is open to the public

and attendees do not have to be a Relay team member to enjoy this part of the event.The closing ceremony will be held at 6 a.m., Sunday, July 1.

According to the American Cancer Society, the Relay for Life event began back in the mid 1980s, proving that one person can make a difference.

In an effort to raise more money for cancer research, Dr. Gordy Klatt, of Tacoma, Washington, started running a marathon. In 1985, he spent 24 hours circling a track for a total of more than 83 miles. Throughout the night, friends paid $25 to run or walk 30 minutes with him.

He raised $27,000 that night.

The following year, 19 teams took part in the first team relay event.

For more information on how to get involved in Relay For Life, Romeoville,contact theAmerican Cancer Society at 708-633-7770 or visit www.relayforlife.org.

Forum Letter to the Editor

Homefront Heroes There are many heroes in the Village of Romeoville. There are many heroes in all villages. The heroes in the background are our public works and maintenance workers. These men and women do everyday jobs that are in the background. When you see them they are in light green vests. They mow all the areas that are vacant. They come out late at night and repair broken pipes even in the freezing cold.

They move along mostly unnoticed. They take good care of our Recreation Department and Village Hall.They also snowplow, do electrical work, and plumbing.

Most of the jobs they do are not seen by the residents, and at times are dangerous.

We also have heroes that are our policemen, firemen, and paramedics. As a homeowner for many years it is comforting to know you are safe and under their protection. They never receive enough “thank you” for all that they do.

In our village we have many “blue collar and white collar” workers. Both are of equal importance. I have a son that is a “white collar” worker and a son that is a “blue collar” worker.They both have jobs that need their expertise. Being an engineer or a maintenance person symbolizes the strength of America with all of the diversities our country embodies. This is what makes our nation great.

These silent“homefront heroes” are a unique “band of brothers-or sisters” that help when needed.

These dedicated workers go beyond the paycheck. As our village continues to grow-it is because of these silent workers that we have become a village that is known to work together.

We are all proud of these heroes.

They go beyond the “paycheck.”

We all can follow and emulate their devotion.

By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

The Will County CrackerJacks are getting serious.

Coming off an inaugural season that included a Midwest Collegiate League championship, the CrackerJacks have taken things to a new level.

They have added an influx of Division I college talent and have been helped out by a pair of former Cubs.

One is Bobby Dernier, who is the Director of Baseball Operations and Associate Head Coach.

Then there is Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, who was the guest speaker of the kickoff dinner last Thursday at Lewis University in Romeoville, the home of the CrackerJacks this year.

Banks was signing autographs for more than three hours and added some words of advice for the college players.

“You have to play really hard, every day, especially in the playoffs,” Banks said. “One play can stay with you forever.

Baseball is a wonderful game.

There is more information than ever before about the game.

There is a lot of analysis. When I played you just ran to first and then to second. There is a lot See BANKS, page 16

Lewis University Director of Athletics Dan Schumacher announced on Tuesday (May 29) that he has resigned and has accepted a position as the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics for Division I Chicago State University, effective June 8th.

LEWIS Lewis Associate Athletics Director / Director of External Affairs Brian Summers will serve as the Acting Director of Athletics.

“It has been an honor to serve Lewis University for the past six years,” Schumacher said.“I would

like to thank the administration, coaches,staff,and student-athletes for their commitment to athletics at Lewis University.

“That hard work has translated into unprecedented success both on the field and in the classroom.”

During Schumacher’s tenure, Lewis won nine regular-season Great Lakes Valley Conference championships and 13 GLVC Tournament championships, while making appearances in 22 NCAA Tournaments, including ‘Final Four’ runs for both the men’s soccer (2009) and men’s volleyball (2012) teams.

What Schumacher is most proud of, however, is the

performance of his studentathletes in the classroom. In the past four years, the graduation rate for Lewis student-athletes has risen from 60% to as high as 86%, while the Flyers’ Academic Success Rate (ASR) has peaked at a remarkable 98%.

The biggest highlight of Schumacher’s Lewis tenure came after the 2010-11 school year, as the Flyers captured the GLVC

All-Sports Trophy. The All-Sports Trophy is presented to the GLVC institution that demonstrates the best all-around performance in the league’s 17 sponsored sports. Points are allocated based on overall finish in the league standings and finish in the respective sport’s conference tournament.

Will County features players from schools as far away as the University of Southern California and as close as Northern Illinois University, where Joliet West alum Mike Grindstaff goes. He is listed as a pitcher for the CrackerJacks.

“We still have a few local guys,” President and General Manager Jamie Toole said. “Our goal was to go out and get the best possible players.We believe our program is going to be the closest thing to affiliated baseball

LEWIS Continued from page 14 “Much gratitude is extended to Dan for his leadership, service and dedication, and best wishes in his new role at Chicago State,” Lewis President Br. James Gaffney, FSC said.

A search for Schumacher’s successor will begin immediately.

TRACK Lewis senior Samantha Linck (Kohler, Wis./Kohler) tied for 13th in the high jump with a leap of 1.70 meters at the NCAA Division II Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championship, hosted by Colorado State-Pueblo, at the Neta and Eddie DeRose Thunderbowl on Saturday (May 26) afternoon.

in Will County. It’s fun to watch baseball with a purpose, which is our mission. To get that kind of talent, you have to go around the whole country, and we did.

Those recruiting coordinators believed in our program to send them here. People are going to see some really good baseball.”

Having those big-time players associated with the team is a big help in getting those high major players.

“When you bring in Bobby Dernier and you do things with Ernie Banks, you are building credibility,” Toole stated. “It’s been a work in progress. Last year we started behind the eight-ball and there were no Division I players left.”

After having just four teams last year, the league has eight this

Sports year and the competition and level of play should be improved as well as the CrackerJacks look for their second consecutive title.

“The league has doubled in size,” Toole said. “I think there are 75 to 80 Division I players across the league. The talent level across the league is going in the right direction. We don’t feel like we are defending because it is a new year and a new team. We expect to win, but you never know till you start playing the games.We have some great players who have a high ceiling.”

Dernier has liked what he has seen so far.

“I saw some hungry hitters,” he said. “It looks like they are ready to go. My expertise is

coaching and that’s what I came here to do. I want everyone to get better at what they do.”

As for Banks, the team might be seeing more of him still.

“I want to come back out here and take a look at the team,” Banks stated. “I’ll spend

some time in Joliet and play some golf.”

The CrackerJacks went 1-1 to open the season. They opened with a 6-5 win over the DuPage Hounds before falling to the DeKalb County Liners 6-5. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

LEWIS Continued from page 16 One Academic All-America®Team ballot, where first, second and third-team All-America honorees will be selected in June.

“Phil Hodur and Scott Tanis have definitely put as much effort into their academics as they do into their athletics,” Lewis head men’s track and cross country coach Dana Schwarting said.

“They are a success on and off the track, and that is why they are successful at anything they put their minds to.”

Hodur, the 2012 Lewis ‘Senior Student-Athlete of the Year’, graduated with a 3.81 cumulative grade point average in biology.

He earned All-GLVC Indoor Track and Field First Team accolades

following his NCAA Provisional mark of 4,715 points at the GLVC Indoor Championships.

The Chicago, Ill., native also picked up USTFCCCA All-Region honors and All-GLVC Outdoor Second Team accolades following his second-place outing in the decathlon (6,133 points) at the GLVC Outdoor Championships.

Tanis, who owns a 3.89 cumulative GPA in sport management, qualified for the 1,500-meter run at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He was named to both the All-GLVC Indoor and Outdoor First Teams following victories in the 1-mile run (4:16.7) and 1,500-meter run (3:53.54) at the GLVC Indoor and Outdoor Championships, respectively.

The Yorkville, Ill., native has also claimed USTFCCCA Indoor and Outdoor First Team awards.

Wild Turkey harvest up from last year

By Dan Stefanich

Hunters in Illinois took almost 16,000 turkeys this season.

The preliminary total of 15,941 is up slightly from last year.

Biologists and DNR representatives proclaim great weather as a primary success factor.

“Excellent hunting weather made for a strong start to the 2012 season, with a preliminary record of 1,300 wild turkeys harvested during the youth season,” said Paul Brewer, Illinois Department of Natural Resources Wild Turkey Project Manager.

“High early season harvest and progression into the later part of the wild turkey breeding season contributed to harvest declines in the later part of the season.

We are hopeful that the excellent spring weather this year will help turkeys rebound in some areas where populations have declined somewhat.

The long term key in improving wild turkey populations will be habitat management, particularly for nesting and brood rearing habitat.”

For a harvest breakdown by county,visit www.danstefoutdoors.

It’s been determined that walleye do not reproduce well on their own in this river system, so the IDNR is giving them some help.

It will take about four years before the fish are “keepers”.

Hopefully they make it that long.

When Tiger Woods knocked home his chip shot on the 16th hole of The Memorial To u r n a m e n t Sunday, many people insisted that he is back.

When he went on to birdie the 18th hole and clinch his 73rd victory, tying tournament host Jack Nicklaus, he was the talk of the sports world.

However, I don’t think he is “back.”

Being back means that he will once again dominate the sport. I just don’t see that happening. Sure, I see him in contention more often and winning more, but I don’t see him being in the top 10 of every tournament.

People thought that he was back after winning the Arnold Palmer, but then he dipped back in a funk and the same thing could happen again.

It was a great comeback and a great round by Woods, but when you look deeper into it, you realize that it wasn’t as great as it looked.

First off,he hit a rough patch with two bogeys midway through his round.The former Tiger wouldn’t.

Second, it wasn’t like the people he was chasing were top notch.

Of those who finished in the top seven, Rory Sabbatini (six) and Jonathan Byrd (five) were the only former winners on the PGA Tour.

So, while he hit an incredible shot and had a great tournament, lets wait to see what he does in majors before we annoint him as “back.”

Travel

Burgundy: wine, barging, and beyond My favorite corner of France is B u r g u n d y, a region overf lowing with edible, drinkable, scenic, and floatable delights.

Its rolling hills and a handful of sleepy villages have given birth to the superior wines and fine cuisine that say “French.”

The city of Beaune, snug within its medieval walls, makes a handy base for exploring the region. You’ll feel comfortable right away in this prosperous and popular town, where life centers on the prestigious wines grown in the picturesque vineyards all around. Medieval monks and the powerful dukes of Burgundy laid the groundwork that established this town’s prosperity. The monks cultivated wine, while the dukes cultivated wealth.

Beaune’s real charm is the town itself, which is especially vibrant on Saturday, the market day, when colorful stands fill the square. There is one must-see sight in town, the Hospice de Beaune, a medieval hospital. Six hundred years ago, concerned about the destiny of his soul, one of Burgundy’s wealthy sons attempted to buy a ticket to heaven by building this charity hospital. Rich and poor alike came here to die (or occasionally get better). The colorful glazed tiles on its roof established the classic style repeated on ancient buildings all throughout Burgundy.

In Beaune, every other shop seems to be selling wine. The production and consumption of the famous Cote d’Or (“Golden Hillside”) wines is big business, and a good “nose” is a life skill worth developing. Your visit to Burgundy can include just about every aspect of the wine trade, right down to traditional barrel making. This time-honored craft is kept alive at cooperages, where crafting barrels is a mix of modern efficiency and traditional techniques.Workmen use steam and bands of iron to bend oak staves into wine-

Cruising along the Burgundy canal is the ultimate in stress-free vacationing.

tight casks. The characteristics of the wood contribute to the personality of Burgundy’s wine.

Each bit of land in the region has its own “terroir” - a unique combination of geology, soil characteristics, exposure to the sun, and altitude. Aficionados say that the quality of wine can be different from one spot to another just 200 yards away. Visitors are sometimes surprised by the poor-looking soil. Struggling to survive in the rocky ground, the grapevines manage to produce fruit of wonderful character and aromatic complexity.

To the connoisseur,the lovingly tended fields of Burgundy are a kind of pilgrimage site. For those versed in this drinkable art form, roadside signs read like fine-wine lists. Sightseers are welcome to drop in at many wineries, enjoy a little tasting, and pick up a bottle or two. Drivers enjoy motoring on Burgundy’s lovely tree-lined roads, and bikers are happy here, too. Except for the rare farm vehicle, service roads are the domain of two-wheelers pedaling among the scenic villages.

An even more peaceful way to see Burgundy is by barge.

Like much of France, Burgundy is laced with canals dug in the early industrial age. Two hundred years ago, these canals provided the cheapest way to transport cargo. With the help of locks, you could actually ship

your goods clear across France, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Today, trucks and trains do the heavy hauling, and the canals are for relaxed barging.

In the country famous for super-fast TGV trains, this popular mode of travel has two speeds: slow and stop. Fullservice barges can be hired with a captain and crew who do the navigating, cooking, and guiding.

Boats have fine staterooms with all the comforts you’d expect in a good hotel.You’ll invariably be eating and drinking some of the best that Burgundy has to offer: boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin, escargots, and the celebrated local wine.

The French, who invented our modern concept of a vacation, are on to something good with barging. Whether on a luxury barge or a captain-ityourself boat, the basic barging experience is the same: a lazy, intimate glide by pastoral yards and green fields. Barges come with bikes, and the pace is slow enough to allow for excursions.

But what could be more enjoyable than sitting back in a deck chair and letting the sights come to you?

The Burgundy canal is 145 miles long, with 209 locks. Your barge ride is punctuated by a lock every mile or so. By rising from lock to lock, boats can gently “climb,” step by step, over the rolling terrain. Each lock is a treat. Attendants who live in the

historic lock houses are friendly and always ready to help out.

Some locks are automated, while others involve a little oldfashioned elbow grease to ease the barge through.

In this calm and cultivated region, nature is as sophisticated as the people, and traditions are strong. If you’re looking for quintessential French culture, you’ll find it in Burgundy.

des Arches, in Beaune, are an atmospheric choice for sampling delicious Burgundian specialties at fair prices (10 Boulevard Perpreuil).

La Ciboulette, intimate and family run, creatively presents traditional Burgundian flavors in an array of fine dishes (69 Rue Lorraine).

SLEEPING

Trains link Beaune with Dijon to the north and Lyon to the south; a few make stops in the wine villages. Off-the-beatenpath Burgundy is best explored by car, bike, or barge.

In Beaune, the Hotel des Remparts, built around a calming courtyard, features traditional comfort, with beamed ceilings and big beds (splurge, www.hotel-rempartsbeaune.com). In the little wine village of St. Romain (15 minutes southwest of Beaune), La Domaine de Corgette is a restored vintner’s home with a stay-awhile terrace and cozy common rooms (moderate, www.domainecorgette.com).

Newspapers alive and well in 2012 While pondering a subject for my fifth monthly article, I’ve noticed favorable reports on auto sales. Having been in that business a few years ago, I considered writing on that industry. With unfavorable employment reports, especially considering my political slant, that subject could have been another angle this month. But when I saw that Warren Buffet, the “Wizard of Omaha,” one of the wealthiest men in the world, of whom every move is followed by Wall Street bought a group of newspapers, I knew.

Self-serving as it may be, it’s time for a positive update on the publishing industry.

On June 25, 63 community newspapers under the Virginia-

based holding c o m p a n y Media General, Inc. will become part of World Media Enterprises,one of billionaire i n v e s t o r Warren Buffet’s businesses. Last fall, he bought his hometown newspaper, the Omaha WorldHerald, but it was dismissed as nostalgic. This month’s purchase quadruples his media holdings.

Small community newspapers are profitable and thriving, even through these challenging economic times.

Another indicator of growth in newspapers is in emerging

markets now considered to be economic powerhouses such as India.

The reason for obvious declines in many newspapers and media companies are primarily in classified advertising versus the internet, which is why the daily newspapers have scaled back so dramatically. Most weekly newspapers don’t rely as heavily on time-sensitive classified advertising.

Local newspaper display advertising can define your target market better than the internet and other media.

Newspaper readers are typically better educated and have higher incomes. Print is tangible and more useful than radio and television, in that it can be re-

reviewed at your audience’s convenience. Similar to the way community banks boast of local lending decisions, community newspapers’ advertising rates are often more negotiable than their large corporate counterparts.

Two final thoughts I feel the need to share on this subject is the emergence of free newspapers and clarification of circulation and distribution methods. While paid subscriptions to newspapers are declining, numbers of free newspapers are rising. There is no regulation about pricing on the masthead of a newspaper.

Just because it reflects a price doesn’t mean that the majority of its circulation isn’t free.

Also, free newspapers are

distributed a variety of ways including, but not limited to racks, also known as “retail drop” or “controlled distribution” and end of driveway, also known as “apron” delivery. Our company, Voyager Media Group has both.

Without boring you with the statistics, my opinion, having received the latter method at home for several years is to prefer picking-up the paper at a convenient location when I want it. What are your thoughts?

Time management for the stressed Q. Our company has gone through major changes the last five years.

Every change seems to mean that I get more responsibility.

I’m so overloaded right now that I could work round the clock and still not get everything done. Do you have any time management tips for the overloaded and unappreciated?

A. Yes, start by realizing that you do not simply have to accept being overloaded and unappreciated. Everything that happens in the workplace is negotiable. If you don’t negotiate, you’ll just be given more work.

The truth is that most bosses don’t overload you because they are plotting to drive you mad.

They keep giving you new tasks because they forget how many you already have. If you don’t want your back to break,you need to remind them diplomatically.

Put together a list of all the tasks you have been given. Now realistically go through the list and attach time frames to each of these tasks. Now assign a number according to what you believe are your boss’s top priorities.

When you are done, make a separate list with the tasks that you believe are low priorities

that you don’t have the hours to do. Be realistic about the hours you will and can work.

The next step is to set up an “efficiency” meeting with your boss. Hand your boss your lists and ask if you’ve accurately numbered the priority responsibilities. Highlight the tasks that will not be completed and ask how your boss would like to handle the overflow.

Whatever you do, don’t offer to become a workaholic to get all your projects done. As you’ve already said,even working around the clock won’t fix the problem of being overloaded.

If your boss insists he is sure you can get everything done, don’t fall into the temptation of being flattered. If you don’t admit to some human limits, he is going to start asking you to pretend you are a superhero. You can either be clear you have limits now or be set up for failure.

Remember to treat your boss like a problem-solving coach, not an enemy.Your boss probably has high expectations for himself.

He may also be under pressure from his management to leap tall buildings at a single bound.

Most of us would like to have people at work believe we can pull rabbits out of hats. We enjoy the shock and awe of people watching us perform workplace miracles. The trap is the miracle ceases to be appreciated and comes to be expected.

If your boss wants miracles, let him know that if you were going to work a miracle for anyone, it would be for him. Then make it clear you don’t want to let him or the team down and go back to negotiating what you know you can deliver. In the end, your boss will be happier with you delivering results than promising him his fantasy.
