Jonas salk elementary named national esea distinguished school Jonas Salk Elementary School in Bolingbrook is one of just 73 U.S. schools named a 2019 National ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act) Distinguished School for the extraordinary success of their students.

“At Jonas Salk Elementary School, we welcome all students,” said Principal Mrs. Alyson Ewald. “We focus on student growth and learning. We make sure every day our students are here to learn and the instruction they are presented is rigorous, but also appropriate for them. Our staff and teachers are also diligent in providing a welcoming and safe learning environment.”

The National Association of ESEA State Program Administrators (NAESPA)—formerly the National Title I Association—has been selecting examples of superior, federally funded school programs for national recognition through the National ESEA Distinguished Schools program (recently renamed from its predecessor, the National Title I Distinguished Schools program) since 1996. Distinguished School designation celebrates the efforts of schools across the country making significant improvements. The program acknowledges the success of schools in one of three categories: Category 1: Exceptional student performance and academic growth for two or more consecutive years Category 2: Closing the achievement gap between student groups for two or more consecutive years Category 3: Excellence in serving special populations of students (e.g. homelessness, migrant, English learners, etc.)

Will County

ecretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White has awarded over $1.2 million in FY 2020 School District Library Grant Program awards to 684 public school districts. More than 1.5 million Illinois students served by school library programs will benefit from the grants.

“As a former public school teacher and administrator, I know our school libraries are very important in helping students learn and prepare themselves for the future,” White said. “Illinois was the first state to implement a school district grant program, and I’m pleased that we can continue to provide school libraries with some of the financial resources they need to produce welleducated students.”

From FY 2020 appropriations approved by the General Assembly and the governor, school library grants were awarded based on a formula of $.75 per student, with a minimum grant award of $750. School libraries can use the funds to acquire fiction and/or nonfiction books, educational CDs and DVDs, and library subscriptions to electronic resources, as well as to improve technology by purchasing new computers or improving Wi-Fi connectivity.

Noak appointed to National League of Cities’ Transportation Committee By ryan ostry Bugle staff

Port District and Will County Center for Economic Development and is on the executive board of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning.

“Being involved in different committees and trying to help anyway that I possibly can is what I try to do,” Noak said. “I’m glad I can help out however I can, to try and make our community and Will County a better place visit and live in.”

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com Romeoville Mayor John Noak was recently reappointed to serve on the National League of Cities (NLC) Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee.

“This is one of the two associations for municipalities on the national level,” Noak said. “It is our national association.”

For this specific committee, Noak will oversee along with other members to have the responsibility for developing NLC’s federal policy positions on issues involving transportation, that includes planning, funding, safety and security of public transit, streets and highways, aviation, railroads and ports.

The advocacy committee that Noak was chosen to are the committees that set and establish the policies for what the association’s national agenda is going to be.

That committee advocates on behalf of all municipalities throughout the entire country on the conference.

“The committee members are the ones who are picked among all of the municipalities in the country,” Noak said.

As someone who was appointed this position, part of Noak’s job description for this committee will also include playing more of a key role in shaping NLC’s policy positions and to advocate on behalf of America’s cities and towns before Congress, with the administration and at home.

two people are chosen to represent the committee every single year.

In the United States alone, there are approximately 20,000 municipalities, and Noak said that to be chosen for the committee is a very high honor that he doesn’t take lightly.

“Transportation Infrastructure is obviously very important to our community and the entire Will County region and all of Illinois,” Noak said.

suggs is top african-american male high school scholar-athlete for the midwest region

By BoB narang for the Bugle

@BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com Bolingbrook senior Devyn Suggs is rapidly carving his own memorable legacy.

Hailing from a family of athletes, Suggs signed a letter-of-intent to play quarterback at Yale on Dec. 21.

In late December, the National Alliance of African-American Athletes selected Suggs as the top African-American Male High School Scholar-Athlete for the Midwest Region for 2020.

Suggs and the other regional honorees will be honored on March 14 at the Crystal City Hilton in Arlington, VA. “I’m beyond grateful to receive an award like this,” Suggs said. “I hold success in academics very close to me. My dad raised me and my sister to value academic excellence. I’m very blessed to receive an award of this magnitude. I’m proud of my work and had a lot of people around me that helped me.”

Suggs endured a rigorous process to earn the honor.

He had to fill out an extensive application that included an essay and detailed information of his daily academic and athletic life.

Suggs said he spent nearly a week on his application, but didn’t hear about his award until a few months later.

Suggs, a dual-threat quarterback, led Bolingbrook to an 8-4

record this season and has a 3.8 grade-point-average.

“I was surprised and it’s kind of shocking and humbling to receive this kind of award,” he said.

“Growing up, academics was very important in our household. We all took it seriously. My mom and dad instilled in us how important it was. To receive an award, outside of athletics, that recognizes my work as a student is very gratifying.

There will be a day when football ends, and academics will open up many more opportunities for me.”

Family is a key part of Suggs’ life — and success.

At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, Suggs is an imposing and physical player on the football field.

But there was a time in his life when Suggs was more known for being the son of NFL and Ball State star safety Shafer Suggs — and the little brother of former Homewood-Flossmoor and Duke standout guard Faith Suggs.

Shafer Suggs, a member of the Mid-American Conference Hall of Fame, played five years in the NFL (1976-80) for the New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals.

Faith Suggs had a standout career at Duke (2015-19). Shafer Suggs is slated to say a few words about his son’s award in a Bolingbrook board meeting leading up to Martin Luther King Day. “I’m really proud of Devyn,” Shafer Suggs said. “To watch him grow through this years, and watch

Devyn Suggs’ path from younger sibling to star recruit, though, was not an easy one.

His mother, Susan Hoster-Suggs, passed away due to melanoma cancer on October 9, 2011. She was 44.

At the time, Devyn was just 10 years old.

He endured a rough few years, being forced to navigate his early

liam Jewell hit 6 of their first 11 shots to keep the game close. The Flyers extended their lead to eight behind six points from Alyssa Streeter (Chicago, Ill./Jones Prep) with 1:12 left in the opening quarter.

The Cardinals continued to hang around scoring the final four points of the quarter to cut Lewis’ lead in half.

The Flyers opened the second

quarter on a 9-0 run to extend their lead to their biggest of the half at 31-18 on a jumper by Streeter. WJC cut the Lewis lead to 31-26 with eight straight points near the midway point of the frame. The Flyers countered with a 7-2 run to extend their lead back to double digits on three-pointer from Kaitlyn Williams (Homer Glen, Ill./ Joliet Catholic) with 2:02 remaining in

the half. Kiara Bradley answered with a three on the other end before Rachel Hinders (Johnston, Iowa/Johnston) made a layup to put Lewis in front by nine points at the half.

The Flyers doubled up the Cardinals to begin the third third quarter to build its largest lead of the game at 54-38 on a layup from Hinders.

However, William Jewell scored the

final six points of the stanza to cut Lewis’ lead to 54-44 heading into the final 10 minutes. Lewis had four players reach double figures in scoring in the contest led by Hinders with 20.

Kaitlyn Williams (Homer Glen, Ill./ Joliet Catholic) added 19 points while Streeter finished with 11 and Hilber had 10. Williams and Streeter both recorded career-highs in scoring.

teen years without the aid of his loving and supportive mother.

Meanwhile, Shafer Suggs, then 58 years old, had to raise two young teens through a difficult time amid a busy academic and athletic schedule.

“Devyn and Faith have always had a really close connection,” Shafer said. “It’s been truly amazing to watch them navigate the last eight or nine years together.

Their mother would be so unbelievably proud of both of them, and would be so proud to watch him achieve this milestone and all

these awards.

“We had to endure a lot, to be able to get through that rough time was helped because we are very spiritual people. We have all supported each other. We have been through some storms and endured them together. It was rough, just unimaginable what we went through. But our family was able to rise above those adversities because of our faith, our love and by working hard.”

Devyn Suggs, no longer the little one in the family, credited his father and sister for guiding him

through a difficult process of his life and help set him for athletic and academic success.

“I’m very blessed to have such a wonderful family,” he said. “I’ve had many people in my life help me, from coaches, my dad and sister and friends and family to guide me to this point of my life. My dad’s experiences in life and being able to show me what important really helped me. My sister has been a very good aid helping me and guiding me by showing me the proper way to about things.”

Faith Suggs, now the director

of basketball operations for the women’s basketball team at Long Island University, said she’s excited to watch her younger brother follow in the family’s footsteps in college.

“It’s so special to see Devyn achieve so much,” Faith Suggs said. “His life has been the definition of overcoming adversity. I admire him every day for how he carries himself, and from the way he has always worked hard in the classroom is what I’m most proud of. I’m so excited for his next four years at Yale.”

Will County votes to fund road repair

impact fee will fix roads, many over 50 years old

T

he Will County Board voted at their December meeting to move forward with a motor fuel tax to improve safety for motorists with repairs to aging roads, many of which are over 50 years old and built to support a county population that was less than half of what it is today.

“We are excited to improve safe-

ty on our roads,” said Will County Board Speaker Denise Winfrey (DJoliet). “Our residents want and deserve improved shoulders and turn lanes, better traffic signals, and much needed road resurfacing.”

The impact fee will apply to all fuel sales conducted in Will County including truck stops along I-80 and I-55). The Will County engineering

department has a list of road improvement projects from Beecher to Braidwood, to Bolingbrook.

Some of these projects are shovel ready but lacked the funding to actually put the shovels in the ground.

“Many of these roads were not designed to support our current population and the high level of use they currently receive,” said Public Works and Transportation Committee Chair Joe VanDuyne (D-Wilm-

ington). “For example, River Road north of Wilmington was constructed around 1980 when our county population was close to 300,000.

Our population is nearly 700,000 today and it will cost close to $25 million to rebuild the entire four mile stretch of that road. We absolutely need this revenue to keep our infrastructure in a good state of repair.”

Republicans were united in their opposition to the motor fuel tax citing widespread opposition voiced by their constituents.

“We will receive nearly $10 million in new revenue for road and

bridge improvements from the state over the next six years,” said Judy Ogalla (R-Monee). “Isn’t that enough? How much do we need to tax?”

The money from the county motor fuel tax can only be used to fund road repairs and improvements.

“This user fee allows Will County to take local control over our infrastructure,” said Winfrey. “Our county is booming with business and new residents and our roads have to keep pace if we want to remain a great place to live, work, and recreate.”

Residents to Give Back on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service martin luther king, Jr. day of service is January 20, 2020

M

artin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is January 20, 2020.

Serve Illinois encourages people across the state to take part in National Day of Service by volunteering in their community.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was designated a National Day of Service

by Congress in 1994. Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’”

“Illinoisans answer this question each day by helping their neighbors and their community.

Volunteerism is the answer,” said Serve Illinois Executive Director Scott McFarland. “We are proud that

Illinois was the first state to honor Dr. King with a holiday, and we are prouder still that Illinoisans make it a day on, not a day off.”

Illinoisans have a rich history of service. People can find volunteer opportunities at www.Serve.Illinois. gov.

Serve Illinois also wants to recognize those who serve their communities throughout the year and is accepting nominations for the annual Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards.

These awards recognize individual volunteers and for-profit businesses. The awards highlight the importance of community service in Illinois.

we are proud that illinois was the first state to honor dr. king with a holiday, and we are prouder still that illinoisans make it a day on, not a day off.

- serve illinois executive director scott mcfarland “Each year, millions of Illinoisans take time out of their busy lives to help their neighbors,” said McFarland. “These volunteers are helping keep children safe, safeguarding the environment, helping people find jobs, and so much more. They improve and save lives each and every

day, and with these awards, we recognize the best of Illinois.”

Serve Illinois will present individual awards to one youth (18 years and younger), one adult (19-54-yearsold), and one senior (55 years and older) in each of Serve Illinois’ five volunteer network regions across the state (Northeast, Northwest, East Central, West Central, and Southern).

Serve Illinois will present National Service Awards to one AmeriCorps member, one Senior Corps member, and one for-profit business in each of the five service regions.

Nominations are due to Serve Illinois by February 21, 2020. Please visit www.serve.illinois.gov for nomination forms and more information.

Serve Illinois will host a ceremony on

April 21, 2020 at the Old State Capitol in Springfield to honor recipients.

The Serve Illinois Commission is a 40 member (25 voting and 15 nonvoting), bi-partisan board appointed by the Governor and administered by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Its mission is to improve Illinois communities by enhancing volunteerism and instilling an ethic of service throughout the state.

The Commission is accomplishing this mission through the support of local community-based efforts to enhance volunteer opportunities and the administration of Illinois’ AmeriCorps program.

Dave Says: Keep your dignity and work your way out dear dave: My wife and I will both turn 30 next month. We have two young children, and we make a little over $85,000 combined. The problem is we have about $70,000 in debt. Some of it is credit card debt, but nearly $50,000 is in two car loans. Her mom and dad have offered to let us move in with them, so we can save up money and start getting a better handle on our finances, but we’re not sure how we feel about this. What’s your advice?

sell the stupid things, get into a couple of little beaters, and start living on a budget and paying down debt.

In your situation, the only scenario where I’d even consider taking the inlaws up on their offer is one where the stay is for a very short, agreed-upon period of time. They’d have to be absolutely wonderful people, too, and everyone involved would need to know their boundaries.

But you guys can get out of debt pretty fast if you’ll just lose the cars.

You could even save a little money on the side while you were paying down debt, and buy a better car as soon as the debt was gone.

havior in your life. I’m going to be very blunt with you. The lottery is a tax on the poor and people who can’t do math. Your chances of winning are bleak at best. Did you know the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are about 1 in 292,000,000? There are plenty of other very unusual things that are much more likely to happen to you than winning the lottery. Your chances of making a hole-in-one on the golf course are about 1 in 12,500.

Even your odds of having quadruplets are around 1 in 11 million.

When times are tough and you’re strapped for cash, the last thing you need to do is spend what little you have on gimmicks. My advice is to focus on working hard, living on a tight budget that cuts out all unnecessary expenses, and saving every penny you can. Unlike the lottery, this is a plan that works every time. When you start living on a budget and get out of debt, it provides a little bit of breathing room in your life. You might even feel like you got a raise! Don’t let your finances—and your dreams—be hijacked by the lottery.

Durbin calls for Trump Admin to combat domestic terrorism & hate crimes durbin again calls for trump admin to step up efforts to combat domestic terrorism & hate crimes

G

iven the disturbing increase in domestic terrorism and hate crime incidents targeting religious minorities and communities of color, U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) wrote to Attorney General William Barr and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray calling on them to take the initiative in leading a coordinated nationwide effort by federal, state, and local law enforcement and intelligence to disrupt and prevent these violent domestic terrorism and hate crime incidents before they take place.

Durbin met with local community and faith leaders in Chicago to hear about how they have been impacted by domestic extremism.

“Far too many communities across the nation have been touched by domestic terrorism and hate crimes. The Federal government must step up to ad-

U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) dress these threats and ensure that more Americans are not violently attacked because of what they believe or who they are,” Durbin wrote.

In May, Durbin along with Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Chris Coons (D-DE), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Kamala Harris (D-CA), sent a letter to the Trump Administration and called out its shifting approach to tracking domestic terrorism incidents to obfuscate the white supremacist threat.

More than three months later, Durbin and Booker sent a follow up letter to the DOJ and FBI about what they are doing to combat white supremacist violence.

Both letters have gone unanswered.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Director Wray in July, Durbin pressed Director Wray on the Trump Administration’s shifting approach to tracking domestic terrorism incidents, which has obfuscated the white supremacist threat. At that hearing, Director Wray admitted to Durbin that the majority of domestic terrorism arrests last year involved white supremacists.

In March, Durbin reintroduced the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act with Senators Richard Blumenthal (DCT), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Chris Coons (D-DE), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Kamala Harris (DCA), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ed Markey (D-MA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Bernie Sanders (IVT), Brian Schatz (D-HI), and Jack Reed (D-RI); Senators Chris Van Hollen (DMD), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Patty Murray (D-WA), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) also have cosponsored the bill.
