White Oak Moves onward Library district continues with renovations

AUGUST 30, 2012

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

T

he White Oak Library district continues to move forward with its renovations, this time in Lockport.

The district has been on a quest to revamp its three libraries in Romeoville, Lockport and Crest Hill ever since voters passed a $23 million referendum in February 2010, allowing the Des Plaines Valley Public Library District, now White Oak, to create new library spaces in the three towns.

The completely renovated Romeoville branch debuted early this summer with much appreciation from its patrons.

The final touches including the self-check out systems are complete.

“As for the Romeoville facility, we are just loving it and so are the patrons,” said Executive Director Scott Pointon.“We have the three self-check machines installed and they are working well. The patrons really like them at the busy times because they don’t have to wait in line to check out their materials.”

The goal for the district’s smallest library in Crest Hill, and in need of most repair, was a new building. The district closed on a deal for three acres

Vol. 7 No. 8

of land on Kubinski Drive located just north of Menards at Caton Farm and Weber Roads. The new facility is now being built with the first of the concrete footings just placed.

Pointon expects a completion date of September 2013.

In Lockport, the library district is expected to break ground for its addition to the facility. Pointon said the Lockport project consists of a complete remodel including an addition. The existing twostory portion of the building will be completely gutted and refurbished. The small, single story wing on the west end of the building will be removed completely, and a new twostory addition will be built in its place.

“With this addition, we can easily and efficiently add an elevator and ADA-compliant restrooms,” said Pointon. “In fact, once completed the entire building will meet all modern accessibility codes.”

Renovation of the Lockport library began earlier this year.

During the renovation, the library was relocated to the historic Gaylord building.

Pointon said he expects the project to get underway this September and finish in October 2013. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Take a walk through time

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

The Plainfield Historical Society is inviting local residents to take a step, quite literally, back in time, by participating in a Historic Downtown Plainfield Walking tour during September.

The tours, led by members of the Plainfield Historical Society, take visitors through the village’s downtown, showcasing the buildings and their history, as well as many of the original businesses and their proprietors.

Original photos from the 1800s will be available for viewing, and the tour will include details about the events that helped to shape the downtown area, from fires that burned on both sides of Lockport Street, to the robbery of the Plainfield State Bank.

Discussion of the Worst Barber Shop and Jones Hardware, two of the longest-operated businesses in town, will be shared.

Each tour will consist of three segments of Lockport Street, and one along Des Plaines Street

to the Village Green. The tours are an offshoot of a current program offered to the students of Plainfield School District 202. Third-grade children study local history as part of their social studies curriculum, and since the children have begun the walking tours, the requests from parents and other adults in the community have increased, local historians said.

The September tours will be offered from 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Sept. 13 and 20; and from 10-11:30 a.m. on Saturdays, Sept. 15 and 22.

Participants will gather at the corner of Lockport and Des Plaines Streets adjacent to Andreasen Travel.

Weather cancellations will be made 90 minutes prior to the start of the program and participants can check the status of the tour by going to the Society’s Facebook page, facebook.com/ plainfieldhistoricalsociety.

The tours are open for anyone ages 18 or older. Cost is $5 for residents and $10 for nonresidents of the Plainfield park district boundaries. For more information, visit http://www. plainfieldparkdistrict.com.

501c3 registered public charity that is run completely by unpaid volunteers. The grass-roots effort within the community has the group hosting a variety of fundraising events to help support their mission to build a center for the society. Currently,

without a building to support their efforts, the group relies on the help of foster care for their animals, completely footing the cost for the care of the animal.

Supplies and dog food donations are also being accepted and can be dropped

Meetings of the Romeoville Humane Society are held 6 p.m. every second Wednesday at Fire Station 3 located on Normantown Road and Birch Lane. Fundraising meetings are held the last Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at Fire Station 3.

Chamber president stepping down

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

With nothing but respect for her fellow business partners and the community, President and CEO of the Romeoville Area Chamber of Commerce Bridget Domberg is stepping down but not out of the picture.

Making a personal decision to spend more time with her husband of 30 years who retired more than 15 years ago, Domberg has opted to dial down

her business work. However she will still be working in town at Carillon Family Dental, where she hopes to remain in contact with the community.

And for Domberg, that’s what it has always been about—the people of the community.

“I have formed so many relationships and have had so much fun meeting so many people,” said Domberg who became president of the Chamber in 2009. “I value my experience with the chamber and

what I believe was an amazing opportunity…what am I going to miss most—seeing all those people who gave me access to their brain from an hour and a half a month. We have so much wisdom here in this community and a tremendous mix.”

She believes the diversity of the board members is what makes the chamber successful and has no doubt that success will continue because of the people who remain on the board and those that run the business

in town.

Partners in Education, a program that pairs schools and business opportunities including mentoring high school students and offering $25 college courses for members, is one of Domberg’s proudest accomplishments.

“I think this is truly unique to Romeoville—there is no other town that has such bragging rights,” said Domberg. “We have Lewis University, Joliet Junior College and Rasmussen here— we have so many educational

options right in our own backyard and we were able to tie that into the business community as well.”

As a former board member of the chamber, Larry Randa said, “Bridget has done an outstanding job helping the chamber grow.

Her high level of concern for the community and her ability to maintain customer service at all levels will be sorely missed.”

Domberg will resign as of Aug. 30. The chamber will conduct a search for a replacement.

Valley View School Board approves bus drivers’ contract

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The Valley View School District 365U School Board officially approves the transportation contract that was a point of controversy for the district earlier this year, reaching an agreement that keeps transportation in-house while cutting costs for the district.

According to Assistant Superintendent Gary Grizaffi, the district had negotiations with the drivers and monitors to discuss language only since the financial parameters of the contract were already discussed

and agreed upon. Various details ranging from field trip procedures to bereavement were outlined.

The AFSCME bus driver’s union voted and ratified the contract on August 17 with a 73 to 7 vote in favor of the contract, allowing the board to officially approve the contract.

“We are please to still be able to have transportation in-house,” said school board member Rick Gougis. “I would like to thank the bus drivers and their leadership team for coming to this agreement—it worked out well.”

After earlier months of turmoil and negotiations over

possibly outsourcing bus transportation, the district opted to keep its transportation in-house in February after the union proposed considerable reductions to close the gap lost in transportation funding from the state.

Settled upon at that time, the agreement called for a 75-centan-hour wage reduction for current employees along with lowering the starting pay for new hires. Combined with the elimination of sick leave conversion and three paid holidays the district will save more than $850,000 annually over the next three years with the new contract.

Lewis honored by Princeton Review Lewis University is one of the Best Colleges in the Midwest, according to the Princeton Review, a nationally known education services company.

Lewis is one of 153 institutions the Princeton Review recommends in its “Best in the Midwest” section of its website feature, “2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region.”

“We are pleased to recommend Lewis University to users of our site as one of the best schools to earn their undergrad degree. We chose Lewis as a Regional Best College mainly for its excellent academic programs. From several hundred schools in the region, we winnowed our list based on institutional data we collected directly from schools, our visits to school over the years and the opinions of our

staff and the recommendations of college counselors and advisors. We also took into account student opinions about their experiences at Lewis,” said Robert Franek, senior vice president and publisher of the Princeton Review.

“This designation again signifies Lewis University’s dedication to student success, whether it is achieving 100 percent passage rate on nursing certification exams or getting accepted into graduate school. These honors recognize our commitment to continuous improvement as evidenced in our latest notice of reaccreditation with the Higher Learning Commission,” commented Dr. Stephany Schlachter, provost.

The colleges that The Princeton Review chose

for its “Best in the Midwest” list are located in 12 states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Collectively, the colleges named “Regional Best(s)” constitute about 25 percent of the nation’s 2,500 four-year colleges.

The Princeton Review also rated colleges based on their academics, admissions selectivity, financial aid, campus safety, quality of life, and green initiatives.

More information on Lewis University’s ratings can be obtained at www. princetonreview.com.

The contract is retroactive from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015.

The district operates the Spangler Transportation Center and administers transportation services for approximately 11,000 students. The daily operation provides services for regular and special education students, parochial, out-ofdistrict programs, the Phoenix, Premier, and Wilco Educational

Programs, as well as field trips and after school activities.

The school district currently employs approximately 250 people within its transportation department and has 172 vehicles that transport students to 21 in-district and 34 out-ofdistrict schools covering more than 900 daily routes. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Prosecution set to rest in Peterson trial

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The prosecution in the murder trial of Drew Peterson is set to wrap up their case after both compelling testimony and several mishaps and a quick redirect is expected of the defense.

Director of Paralegal Studies at Lewis University Huma Zia, J.D., said the case continues to be a difficult one to try and will no doubt be even harder for a jury to deliberate. Peterson is accused of killing his third wife Kathleen Savio.

“The prosecution had a tough case, made even more difficult by their own mistakes—namely the fact that they made a series of blunders that compelled the trial court judge to consider approximately three motions

for a mistrial,” Zia said. “This certainly plays into whether the jury will trust the prosecution in providing credible witnesses.”

She explains that the prosecution has a hard case from the start as the case rests on mostly circumstantial and hearsay evidence.

“Remember, the prosecution has no physical evidence or direct witnesses putting Peterson in Kathleen Savio’s house the day she died,” Zia said.

She further explains that the prosecution is relying on hearsay statements from various individuals, including friends and family, making it essential for them to convince the jury that the witnesses were credible.

“The fact that the judge had to admonish the prosecutors

numerous times may lead the jury to doubt the credibility of the witnesses or even the sincerity of the prosecution,” Zia said.

“Once a jury loses trust in the prosecution, it is very difficult to regain that and that may backfire on the prosecution.”

The prosecution called more than 30 witnesses. However, many of them were testifying to allowable hearsay statements, explained Zia. Yet some testimony did prove damaging to Peterson, including a forensic pathologist who conducted the second autopsy on Savio’s body and declared she died as the result of a homicide.

In Zia’s opinion, the most recent witness who gave the most compelling testimony for the prosecution was Jeff Pachter.

Pachter told jurors that Peterson

offered him $25,000 to hire a hit man to kill his wife while riding with him in Peterson’s squad car.

“That is damaging testimony for Peterson,” Zia said.

Next, the defense will present their case in chief and can request a motion to dismiss or a motion for a directed verdict in the case, asserting that the prosecution has not met its burden of proving Peterson guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, Zia explained.

“Such motions are common,” said Zia. “The defense can even rest without calling any witnesses and go straight to closing arguments. Both scenarios appear unlikely and the defense will start calling its witnesses.

From my understanding they plan on wrapping up their case

within two days. In fact, the less time they take may prove to be favorable for the defense as it will again emphasize that the prosecution has only circumstantial evidence and hearsay statements for its case—which the defense will argue is not enough to prove the prosecution met its burden.”

The defense is expected to call witnesses that would include officers who initially investigated Savio’s death in order to counter a prosecution argument that the police acted incompetently.

Zia said the biggest question would be whether the defense calls Drew Peterson himself to the stand, though she says it appears unlikely. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Giving kids the tools to succeed in school

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Nearly 1,250 students were treated to a Back-to-School extravaganza thanks to the DuPage Township Youth Service Department and various donations from local businesses and organizations.

In its last big event of the summer, the township hosted its Tools for School event, nearly doubling the number of students it was able to help out with not only school supplies but essential back-to-school “musts.”

“We take it upon ourselves during these tough economic times to give back to our residents as much as we possibly can,” said Supervisor Bill Mayer.

“In addition, we all know how the prices of school supplies consistently increase year after year and we believe all children, regardless of economic stature should have the right tools to perform in school.”

Mayer says mostly it takes,

Students received school supplies and other “back to school must-haves” at the Tools for School event.

“Partnering, Partnering, Partnering—First, our core group of volunteers for Bolingbrook High School’s NHS works wonders for us by adding service with a sweat on their brow and smile. Also, businesses and agencies such as the village of Bolingbrook, Advantage

Chevrolet, Bolingbrook Park District, Bolingbrook Fountaindale Library,Allegra Print and Imaging, and MB Financial Bank, contribute by volunteering or collecting supplies. With this caring community we were able to serve 1,232 kids in the DuPage Township Community.”

Youth DirectorAnthony Morelli agreed. “DuPage Township takes pride in elevating the bar year after year,” said Morelli. He explained that thanks to local sponsors, the township was able to offer free haircuts, courtesy of Paul Mitchell School in Chicago; free health screenings courtesy of

Bolingbrook Adventist Hospital; free dental exams courtesy of the Will County Dental Van; bookmobile services from Fountaindale Public Library; and entertainment like the trackless train and portable climbing wall from the Bolingbrook Park District.

Biggert job fair draws jobs seekers across Will County

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Nearly 1,250 job seekers came out to a job fair hosted this Wednesday by U.S.Representative Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) who believes economic growth and job creation is the number one issue facing the country.

From the American Bar Association to Walmart, close to 100 employers were on site at the Romeoville Recreation Center to accept applications and meet with prospective employees.

For Plainfield resident Steve Richardson who has been out of

work for almost a year, it was a chance and getting back into the field.

“I need to find something—I still have a few years ahead of me to work,” Richardson said.

“At least this seems like there is quite a bit of opportunity here.”

And for employers like J. Michael Scheppach of TF Cable Americas, who just opened a warehouse in Bolingbrook, it was an opportunity to meet with candidates face-to-face, instead of hiring through a temp agency.

“We are a growing company and we have a number of positions open from warehouse

to sales,” Scheppach said.

Biggert said she believes the event was successful, offering a wealth of different options for those seeking employment.

However, she also said that she feels government has done a disservice to small businesses and is concerned about looming tax hikes scheduled to occur on Jan. 1, 2013.

She spoke of her recent support for H.R. 8, the Job Protection and Recession Prevention Act, which would prevent automatic tax hikes from taking effect come January.

“Taxpayers in Illinois are under

enough financial pressure -- they need certainty, relief, and jobs,” said Biggert.“This legislation will ensure that middle-class families and employers aren’t blindsided on January 1st with a return of the marriage penalty, the AMT, higher rates on capital gains, dividends, estates and painful tax hikes on income. Some say that the only option is to raise the top two tax rates, which would hit 53 percent of all small business income. That would cost our economy over 700,000 jobs at a time when middleclass families can least afford it.

Congress needs to put politics

aside and give the American people the economic certainty they deserve.”

Biggert said she is still holding on to an optimistic ideal, as she did when she first started office some 14 years ago, that both sides can come together to create a legislation that will serve the people.

“Employers were very enthusiastic and people want to work,” Biggert said. “It goes so far when someone can say, ‘I got a job—it builds people’s self esteem.That’s what we need.” katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

New freshmen at Lewis University ‘soar into the community’ More than 400 new incoming freshmen volunteered Aug. 24 along with other Lewis University staff and peer ministers at various sites including Feed My Starving Children in Aurora and Schaumburg, Campfire USA in Bolingbrook, Morning Star Mission sites, Trinity Services in Will County, United Way agencies

in Will and DuPage Counties and others.

Students volunteered at the local service organizations as part of the university’s annual “Soar into the Community,” a community service opportunity offered to new students during orientation.

Students that volunteered at

the Feed My Starving Children sites hand-packed meals formulated specially for starving children. The prepared meals were then shipped to countries around the world. Student volunteers for United Way agencies also traveled to local communities and helped with activities including gardening

and cleaning.

Other volunteer sites included Campfire USA, Morning Star Mission and Trinity Services, where students assisted with sorting and cleaning thrift store items and maintenance work, among other tasks.

“We are grateful that these agencies are willing to offer

these opportunities to our incoming students. In the spirit of a Catholic and Lasallian education, it is a great way for students to get a feel for the culture of service that is ever growing on campus,” said Sean Fagan, coordinator of Lewis University Student Development and Leadership.

Forum Letter to the Editor

Romeoville-area Historical Society Our village has a great deal of history. Our residents are all very proud of our past - and the future that is now growing with excellent leadership.

Our history (noted in books) date back to 300 B.C. Bones were found near 135th Street east of Romeo Road.

Our village starting date was about 1830. The Potawatami Indians were in Romeoville in the 1700’s.They had their (teepees) around our now Recreation Department. They fished by the Des Plaines River near the Isle of Cache.

Our museum has many artifacts of pioneer days. These objects were stored and saved

by Dorothy Hassert and Mabel Hrpcha. The original founders were Joyce Kinder and Mark Frost and started in February 1980. We now have a devoted and very dedicated Nancy Hackett since 2006.These same people were and are very giving of their time.

The Historical Society was once downstairs of our Romeoville White Oak Library.

Because our Mayor and Village trustees had a vision, we now have a freshly painted (old Police

Dept.) to call our own to display our findings. We had four truck loads to unpack from our former home to our new home.

We are now in the process of writing a pictured book of “Old Romeo.” We have been chosen by a publisher in Chicago for this honor.This will be encompassed in chapters with some of 1. I & M Canal, 2. Isle of Cache, 3.White Fence Farm and farming etc., 4.

45-15 school year, and 5. Romeo Beach and area during this time.

Our committee needs any type of original pictures or newspaper items or any materials that could be used for our book. We need your help... This is an extreme honor for the village and our residents, past and present.

Romeoville residents, have, and had, a true sense of community.

These values from our past take us “over the top.”

As a woman whom I was showing off our display said “you do not know where you are going, if you do not know where you came from.” This Romeoville Area Historical Society is preserving the heart of Romeoville, right now and then.

Shirlee J. Pergler Romeoville Proud Resident

RHS senior receives prestigious Medal of Valor award Romeoville High School senior Daniel Quan has been awarded the prestigious Marine Corps Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement, an honor accorded to only six of the 35,000 Marine Corps Junior ROTC cadets throughout the country.

Quan, who was promoted to the rank of Cadet Colonel at the end of last school year, will serve as the RHS Marine Corps JROTC Battalion Commander during the coming school year.

“He’s a very impressive young man,” said Maj. (USMC Ret.) Mark Placey, the new JROTC Unit

Commander at RHS. In nominating Quan, RHS JROTC faculty member GySgt. Rachele Miller (USMC Ret.) Daniel Quan called him “an exceptional role model to his fellow cadets as well as others in the school and community,” adding “his outgoing personality and organizational skills are hallmarks of his character.”

as a freshman.

“It just got my attention when I came here,” said Quan, whose older brother, Zachary, was involved in JROTC as well. “I knew it was all about leadership education and I wanted to become a better leader.”

An honor student, Quan has been President of RHS Student Council for two years, a position he hopes to keep this year as well.

He is also a member of Student Leadership Club and National Honor Society, and competes on both the cross country and track teams.

Within the JROTC program, he competes on the Drill Team, serving as a captain on several of the competition groups. He also holds an Order of the Purple Heart medal for exceptional leadership.

Quan says he will “most likely” pursue a career in the military but wants to obtain a college degree first, possibly at a military college like The Citadel or West Point.

He is the son of Donna and Sherman Quan of Romeoville.

“I enjoy helping people so I think probably something like a

corpsman or a field medic would be a good career,” he said. “But I definitely want to go to college first so I have that degree by my name.”

Quan, whose philosophy is “go for it,” isn’t resting on his laurels however. He’s right in there helping to recruit incoming freshmen and convince them that JROTC is for them.

Spartans lose Bambule, game

By Matt Le Cren Contributing Writer

Romeoville’s inexperienced football players got a rude welcome to varsity action Friday night.

The Spartans, who have only four returning starters, were throttled 39-0 by host Hinsdale South in Darien.

Things went wrong from the get-go as the Spartans fumbled the opening kickoff and Hinsdale South’s Stephen O’Neill recovered at the Romeoville 25. That set up an eight-yard touchdown run

by Hornet quarterback D.J. Deolitsis and Hinsdale South (1-0) went on to score on its first four possessions.

“We only had four returning starters from last year’s team so we had a lot of guys playing in their first varsity game and I’ll be honest with you, obviously the greenness showed tonight,” Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna said.

It showed on that kickoff, which was a short squib kick that the Hornets ran to perfection.

“We do this one kick where we kick it a little bit shorter to catch them off guard and Justin Ward, our kicker, placed it

perfectly,” O’Neill said. “They just weren’t expecting it.

“I think it fired up the team good. Our offense came out that first drive and they put it in the end zone. What I did was good, but what they did put an exclamation mark on it.

They were able to capture the initiative.”

Amazingly, the Hornets later pulled off the same play, with O’Neill again recovering a short kickoff before any Spartans could get to it. Two plays later, Deolitsis scored his third touchdown, a 31-yard run up the middle to make it 37-0 with 50 seconds left in the first half.

“It’s not like we don’t practice it because I kick that same ball See SPARTANS, page 17

Lewis baseball adds several area players Lewis University head baseball coach Tim McDonough announced his final additions to his 2012 recruiting class on Thursday (August 23), as Marshall Escue (Washington, Ill./Washington Community/ Illinois Central College), Nick Davito (Crest Hill, Ill./Lockport Township), Cory Bonner (Dripping Springs,Texas/Dripping Springs/Northeastern Oklahoma CC), James Burrell (Cottage Grove, Minn./Park/Eastern Michigan), JT Yocum (Lafayette, Ind./ Ottawa Marquette), Alex Slaby (Davenport, Iowa/Davenport West/Blackhawk College), Joel Rotkvich (Crestwood, Ill./ St. Laurence), Kendall Paluch (Joliet, Ill./Joliet Catholic/Pasco Hernando CC) and Jake Murray (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North/Moraine Valley) will suit up for the Flyers in 2013.

LEWIS The one overriding theme from this year’s recruiting class is character,” McDonough said.

“We have made it a point to bring in quality athletes and baseball players who have the highest levels of character and work ethic; and this class exemplifies that point.

“We feel we have clearly upgraded or replaced everyone that has left from last year’s NCAA Regional qualifying team and have increased our depth at just about every position which will create a culture of competition this fall.”

A two-time, All-Conference and All-Area pick at Washington Community High School, Escue (IF, R/R, 6-0, 185) played this summer for the Omaha Diamond Spirits. As a junior at Washington, Escue batted .464 with 54 RBI

and 18 doubles. He graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA. Davito (P, R/R, 6-3, 180) was named to the Herald News AllArea Team as a senior. His 1.72 ERA and 7-2 record also garnered him All-Conference and Illinois Coaches Association All-Star accolades. He helped Lockport Township to three conference championships. Davito brings club experience with Southside Express and the Upper Deck Cougars.

“Nick is a pitcher blessed with size and strength that puts his potential as almost limitless over his career at Lewis,” Lewis pitching coach Scott Sobkowiak said.“He is an intense competitor with maturity beyond his years,

and has a solid understanding of what it means to actually “pitch,” which is remarkable for an athlete of his age.

“I expect big things for this young man, they may just occur a bit sooner than any of us expect.”

Bonner (P, R/R, 6-3, 180) amassed a 1.89 ERA in 2012 at Northeastern Oklahoma. He helped the Norsemen to the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship. As a senior at Dripping Springs High School, Bonner earned Second Team All-District honors as a second baseman. He also turned in a 2.37 ERA and 4-1 record on the mound. He helped Dripping Springs to a regional finals appearance his senior year.

Bonner played club ball for the Austin Gold Sox and Grand Slam.

Burrell (OF, R/R, 6-0, 200) enters Lewis with junior eligibility. He played at Morton College before arriving at Eastern Michigan.

He was a First Team NJCAA AllRegion IV and First Team AllSkyway Conference selection in 2011 at Morton. His .580 on-base percentage at Morton led all of NJCAA in 2011.

Yocum (P, R/R, 5-9, 175) played his first three prep years at McCutcheon High School in Lafayette, Ind. He transferred to Marquette Academy in Ottawa, Ill. his senior year where he was a unanimous All-Tri-County and Daily Times All-Area selection.

He was on the honor roll both

semesters at Ottawa Marquette.

Yocum was 10-2 over 71.1 innings with 97 strikeouts and a 1.57 ERA his senior year. As a 17-year old he played for iFungo Revolution National Team out of Lexington, Ky. Slaby (OF, R/R, 5-10, 170) helped Blackhawk to a pair of Arrowhead Conference Championships and a combined two-year record of 88-20. In 2012, he led the team in average (.402), on base percentage (.503) and stolen bases (28). He hit .359 with a .424 on base percentage and 22 stolen bases in 2011. As a senior, Slaby was a Second-Team All-Region performer as he hit .400 with a See LEWIS, page 16

Jimmy Moon is shooting to become a sectional qualifier for the Spartans.

Moon leads experienced cast

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

There is some added hope on the links this season for Romeoville.

BOYS GOLF With many returners from last year, this is the year coach Bill Normand feels the team can make big strides.

“We’re senior heavy,” Normand said. “Jimmy Moon is probably our No. 1 right now. Then we have Ryan Fetzer and Bobby Leach. Mitch LaFond is a junior

and there is Mike Kittle and Brandon Lisak. They are a highenergy group and they want to get better. We aren’t playing as well as we want to, but it’s early.

They are having a lot of fun and that is the most important thing.”

“Everyone knows each other and are comfortable with each other,” Moon added. “We can help each other out.”

The early season is showing the benefit of having several returners as the Spartans had their best total in several years at the Plainfield Central Invite.

Leach had the best score of

the day with a 97, while Moon carded a 99.

“Our scores have been significantly better at this point in the year, so it is encouraging,” Normand stated. “They want to get better and by the end I’m sure they will. We have a couple four-year players and it is starting to show a little bit. They are a very positive group and that is encouraging for a player and a coach, so I’m excited.”

expected to be strong again.

However, after the top few teams, Romeoville can be right in the mix.

“We want to shoot in the 370s and 360s,” Normand said. “We have very tough competition in our conference with Minooka, Plainfield North and Oswego.

Other than those three it levels out a little bit, so it should be exciting. These kids want to play and get better and that’s all you can ask for. I expect three or four guys to hit the low 40s (in duals).

Jimmy has the hunger and desire to make All-Conference.”

Hoping to lead the team this year is Moon, who has been in the program the past four years.

“I try to be more consistent,” Moon said. “My coach helps me out at the driving range. I’m just trying to follow what he says.”

Moon is trying to take advantage of his last chance in high school and put in a lot of work in the offseason to take his game to the next level.

Paluch played in 2012 at Pasco Hernando Community College where he had a 3.17 ERA in 54.0 innings. In 2011, he competed at NCAA Division III Loras College where he was named to the ABCA All-Region Team. His 1.20 ERA ranked eighth in the nation as he allowed just eight earned runs in 60 innings. He ranked second in the nation in fewest hits allowed per nine innings with a 4.50 average. Paluch threw Loras’ first no-hitter since 1994 on April 9, 2011 against Cornell College.

Paluch was a first-team all-area pitcher at Joliet Catholic who helped his squad to a fourth-place finish in Class 3A as a senior.

“We were extremely excited to get Kendall as he projects as a top of the rotation type of pitcher,” Sobkowiak said. “It has

sPorts to make it to state,” Moon said.

“I have to work really hard. I played for free at Carillon, so I got a lot of work in before I came out here. I need to work on my drives because I slice them a lot, so I need to work on hitting them straight.”

“I expect him to win many games in a Flyers uniform.”

Murray arrives at Lewis with junior eligibility following seasons at Morton College (2011) and Moraine Valley Community College (2012). Murray hit .340 with five home runs during his senior year at Downers Grove North. He brings club experience with the Westmont Redsox and Chicago Suburban Baseball League.

“Jake will bring experience and maturity to the outfield immediately which is something we needed after the departure of Mike Bolling and Andrew Brauer,” McDonough said. “Jake can defend, throw, hit and run the bases well.

“He can play any outfield position and with time in the weight room has the capability of being a gap-to-gap hitter.”

Combined with earlier announced recruits Joe Sparacio (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield Central) and Austin Mastela (Homer Glen, Ill./Lockport Township), the 2012 class stands at 11 members. The group will look to help the Flyers earn their second consecutive NCAA Tournament berth.

Sports SPARTANS Continued from page 13 in practice,” Kuna said. “We’ve gone over it 100 times, but [it is the glare of] Friday night lights.

We make the right decisions in practice [but not here].”

The Spartans committed five turnovers, giving the Hornets great field position each time.

Deolitsis took full advantage, rushing for 94 yards and three touchdowns and passing for 99 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown pass to Shaun Dulleck.

Hinsdale South racked up 358 yards of total offense.

Romeoville was limited to only 79 yards, 63 of which came in the fourth quarter in garbage time.

The Spartans, who managed only one first down in the first three quarters, lost senior quarterback Jacob Bambule to a concussion on the first drive of the game. Running back Miguel Ford, who rushed 14 times for 55 yards, and star linebacker Caleb Bailey did an admirable job filling in but couldn’t get anything going.

“I think Miguel Ford played well on both sides the ball,”

Kuna said. “I thought Caleb Bailey played well. Those are our two key returning players.

“You lose one of your key returning players [Bambule] so that’s going to have a devastating blow on you. So we got put in a bad position early and they created some things and we just never were quite ready to rebound and that’s lack of experience at a lot of positions.”

Even when the Spartans seemingly did things well, everything went wrong.

Romeoville nearly blocked a punt by Ward in the third quarter. The ball went only 15 yards but came down in a crowd and glanced off the back of a Spartan before O’Neill grabbed it.

The Spartans also had a punt snap go out of the end zone for a safety and had a pass intercepted. But junior Anthony Hernandez had a fumble recovery and junior Caleb Purham blocked an extra-point kick.

“They learned a lot tonight and we’ll build off that and get ready for next week,” said Kuna, whose team plays defending state champion Bolingbrook.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

JCA loses game, Isaac at Providence

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter Online @ buglenewspapers.com

It looked as if the Joliet Catholic Academy offense didn’t miss a beat from last season’s Class 5A state title game.

Unfortunately for the Hilltoppers, the defense looked the same as it did in that 70-45 loss to Montini in November.

Even without the services of senior Ty Isaac, who left with just under three minutes left in the first quarter with a right shoulder injury, JCA still put up 34 points, but it wasn’t enough as Providence won the game 40-34 in front on an overflow crowd and an ESPNU television audience.

“If you would have told me Ty would go out in the first quarter and we would still score 34 points, I probably would have laughed,” Joliet Catholic coach Dan Sharp said.“I wish we could have gotten one more stop in there, but this was a great game between two quality teams.

“We just didn’t tackle anyone.

We were in position, we just didn’t tackle well. I think the most frustrating thing is the way they ran the ball on us because we are usually better against the run.”

The Celtics got things going right out of the box, as Brandon Price took the handoff on the game’s opening play and went 77 yards for the score. Price would end the game with 148 yards and two scores on 17 carries.

Isaac would answer on the next JCA possession, as he broke

JCA’s Tyler Reitz had to shoulder the load after Ty Isaac was lost to injury.

a 43-yarder to tie the game.

Isaac would finish with 67 yards on seven carries, and had a 32-yard TD run called back on a holding penalty.

The injury happened two plays later.

“When you look at that penalty, it was two plays later that Ty goes down,” Sharp said.

“He probably doesn’t even get hurt if not for that penalty.

“All we know is that it’s a shoulder injury. Ty left at halftime to get X-rays. He will probably need an MRI this week. We know he will be out

for a while, we just hope it’s a short while.”

Several players stepped up offensively in Isaac’s absence, including all three newcomers to the JCA offense.

Minooka transfer Mike Ivlow (8 carries, 30 yards) plowed in for a 5-yard TD run with 5:04 remaining in the third quarter to make the game 30-27 in favor of the Celtics.

“Ivlow was still sore, he had an infection and was in the hospital for a couple of days, so he wasn’t quite right himself and he was playing in pain,”

Sharp said.

The Hilltoppers then went to the air, as quarterback Craig Slowik completed 13-of-23 passes for 214 yards.

Oswego transfer Jordan Jones caught six passes for 104 yards and senior Chris Tschida, who took last season off to focus on baseball, caught four for 81, including a 28-yard TD. “I wish I never took the year off,”Tschida said.“I loved it. I wish I could play at the next level, but I will be playing baseball. I just committed to Western Illinois.”

Sharp was happy with the air

attack.

“With a kid like Craig Slowik, we can put the ball in the air,” Sharp said. “So, when Ty does come back, have more weapons.”

Slowik agrees.

“We really hope Ty is OK, but we did show what we can do in the passing game,” he said. “We had some guys step up and we still put 34 points on the board.”

On the ground, Tyler Reitz carried the ball 12 times for 98 with scoring runs of one and 75 yards. mark@buglenewspapers.com

Being ignored at work? Speak up!

Q. I work as a traveling teacher spread throughout several districts. My office is in a building where I attend weekly morning meetings. The group that is part of these meetings has frequent lunches that I’m never invited to. Should I even say something or just let it go?

A. You should say something, but don’t assume that anyone is purposely not inviting you.

Typically, when a person’s feelings get hurt in the workplace, it is based on assumptions about the motives of others. Many of us tend to make up what we think that coworkers think, and then we decide that we are hurt about what we have made up.

You’ll notice a dramatic increase in your enjoyment and peace of mind on the job if you just make one change. Before you make any assumptions about what other people think ask them.

Go to the supervisor who sets up these lunches and let him or

her know that you would like to join in.

Tell them you don’t know if these meetings are private or planning meetings for a certain team.

Ask about how these lunches are organized.

When people who feel hurt go to coworkers for an explanation, they tend to make accusations rather than inquiries. You may have been tempted to say things such as “Why don’t you include me?” or “Why am I being left out?” Notice these are not questions but statements about others being rude.

If you come out shooting verbally in the workplace, most people will simply defend or counterattack. People may not have invited you previously because they didn’t think you were interested. After you make

accusations of insensitivity, you won’t be included because they are now hurt.

Most of us are too quick to assume the worst about other people. We scan our workplaces every day because we are just waiting for someone to offend us.

If we were quicker to be inquisitive and slower to take offense, we’d find out that most people most of the time either have benevolent motives or just didn’t think. When we ask the critical question to gather data before we attack, most of the time the attack isn’t necessary.

One thing you can do tomorrow to generate more peace in your workplace is to open your mind to the possibility that other people really aren’t out to get you. They make their own assumptions about us and then make decisions. Most of the time they had no intention to harm you.

Prepare to be pleasantly

surprised that when you approach the supervisor to ask about being included.You’ll likely find yourself most welcome at lunch.

By expressing what you want without assuming malicious intent, you’ll also find you’ve built bridges rather than walls the rest of your workday.

The last word(s) Q. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my career. Is it too late to turn things around?

A. No, good judgment is only developed through bad judgment. Mistakes are those things we trip over on our way to wisdom.
