DGS Senior starts sexual assault database for Illinois colleges & universities therese malinowski aims to help protect students from sexual assault By ryan ostry Bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com Every 92 seconds an American is sexually assaulted.

On top of that, one out of every three women are survivors of sexual violence.

Those staggering numbers are something Downers Grove South senior student Therese Malinowski wants to put to an end.

Because one of Malinowski’s friends were sexually assaulted in middle school, she created a sexual assault database in order for Illinois colleges and universities that is named Project Dandelion.

“Since my friend was sexually as-

a reminder about winter weather Cancellation or delay of a school day Now that winter is upon us, this is a reminder of how VVSD informs parents and guardians of a weather-related cancellation or delayed start of a school day.

If the school day is going to be cancelled or delayed, parents and guardians will receive a phone call by 6 a.m. In consideration of parent work schedules and the need for child care arrangements, VVSD will try to make the decision and inform the community earlier whenever possible.

If the decision is made to delay the start of the school day, the school day will start two hours later than scheduled for grades K-12 with regular transportation/ car rider/walker routines in place.

ing a strong team and a mentor while recruiting passionate people from Downers Grove South to work on the concept.

“We had our first meeting to figure out how we wanted our solution to be accomplished,” Malinowski said. “From there we just recruited people to help with research for every college that we discussed earlier.”

This database so far is just for colleges in Illinois, but Malinowski said

there’s a much bigger goal in mind for the future.

Malinowski said she wants other high schoolers to use the database to research colleges more thoroughly before making their decision for there future, and she also said that eventually she wants this database to be used throughout the entire country.

“I corresponded with the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault organization and they agreed to adopt it and grow it in the future,” Malinowski said. “I’m going to be checking in to that all the time to make sure it’s growing, but I anticipate this project will grow to a comprehensive project where it will be at every college in the United States.”

Malinowski is still applying at colleges but her top choice is Purdue University as she plans to major in Aerospace Engineering.

Conversation & Compliments

survey now open to valley view Parents

Wood View Elementary students in Mr. Adam Hague’s class are learning about interaction through conversation and about how compliments build bridges for conversation.

The students created a podcast to show what they have learned. We were invited to witness the recording of the podcast that included a warm-up conversation about favorite animals. Our condolences to Turbo the Turtle. Watch the video to figure out that part of the conversation.

Valley View School District 365U is joining the Illinois State Board of Education in the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, the seventh statewide survey of school climate and learning conditions. The survey provides a unique opportunity for students, teachers and parents to have a voice in improving their schools.

Now through Feb. 14, students, teachers and parents can take a 25-minute research-based survey to help identify strengths and weaknesses in their school’s learning environment. This survey will serve as an opportunity for schools to reflect on progress since the last statewide implementation. Click here to take the 5Essentials Survey

saulted I’ve always been really receptive to sexual assault issues and advocacy,” Malinowski said.

Last year, while in a personal safety and wellness class, Malinowski said her class watched a Netflix documentary called “The Hunting Ground” which showed some colleges that have silenced some student allegations for sexual abuse.

At that moment, in disbelief from what she watched, she realized that students need a sexual assault re-

STEP will begin at 9 a.m. and all Early Childhood classes will be cancelled on a delayed start day.

Communication regarding before/ after care or other activities will be provided when necessary.

In addition to the phone call, information about school closings or delayed starts will be sent via email, posted on the District website vvsd. org, Facebook and Twitter feeds, and shared with the area newspapers, and television and radio stations. Parents and guardians are encouraged to log into their Infinite Campus parent accounts to be certain their phone contact and email information is up-to-date.

vvsd early Childhood online registration for Community Based tuition Program opens feb. 3

Valley View School District’s Early Childhood Program will be offering a limited number of placements for the half and full-day Community Based Tuition pre-school program for the 2020-21 school year.

The Valley View Early Childhood Center offers a diversity of experiences for students, with a focus on pre-academic skills, social and emotional development, and hands-on activities. Music and movement are also key attributes of the curriculum, which focuses on

search database in order to investigate colleges.

Malinowski, who has many concerns about sexual assault, said one of her biggest concerns is campus safety and colleges not completely listening to students when they bring the allegation, so she decided to create the database after the video as well as part of her work as a Girl Scout.

To create the database, Malinowski said the first step was find-

the development of the whole child and their self-esteem.

Full Day Community Based Tuition Program Pre-School students will attend 6 hours and 15 minutes per day at a cost of $600 per month, which includes breakfast, lunch, and a snack. Before and after school care is also available through the Romeoville Recreation Department. Community Based Tuition Half Day Pre-School is for 2 1/12 hours per day at a cost of $245 per month.

Village offers winter weather information vehicles parked on streets designated as parking prohibited after two inches of snow fall will be ticketed and towed immediately WINTER WEATHER INFORMATION With the prediction of snow, ice and freezing temperatures this weekend, the village has prepared a few friendly winter reminders for residents.

The switch over time for odd-even parking is 6:00 am.

The fine for snow related parking violations is $50.00.

Officers will patrol village streets and immediately issue parking citations and a 24 hour tow notice to any vehicles found in violation of the odd-even parking ordinance.

Vehicles parked on streets designated as parking prohibited after two inches of snow fall will be ticketed and towed immediately.

Parking citations for blocking the sidewalk will not be issued until the snow removal operations are complete.

These restrictions do not apply to

Grand Haven, Highpoint, Wespark (Besides Wespark Pkwy, Wespark Circle and Wespark Blvd.), Lakewood Falls (Unincorporated), Carillon, Remington, Malibu Bay Townhomes and Romeo Gardens.

Odd-even parking restrictions do not apply, when there is no parking on one side of the street.

WARMING CENTERS Please also keep in mind that warming centers are available at the Romeoville Recreation Center, 900 West Romeo Road from 9:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday-Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.

Check with these neighbors after a storm to be sure they are okay and ask if they need assistance.

HELP CLEAR FIRE HYDRANTS The Romeoville Fire Department asks residents and businesses to help in keeping fire hydrants clear of ice and snow. It’s important for the Fire Department to have approximately three feet around the hydrant so they have an area to work and to get quick access in case of a fire.

a new decade is time for the u.s.

Census- everybody Counts The U.S. Constitution requires that each decade there is a count— or a census—of America’s population. The census provides vital information for you and your community.

≠ It determines how many representatives each state gets in Congress and is used to redraw congressional district boundaries. ≠ Communities rely on census statistics to plan for a variety of resident needs including new roads, schools, and emergency services. ≠ Businesses use census data to determine where to open places to shop. Each year, the federal government distributes more than $675 billion to states and communities based on Census Bureau data.

The law requires the Census Bureau to keep your information confidential and use your

responses only to produce statistics. The Bureau cannot publicly release your responses in any way that could identify you, nor share your information with immigration enforcement agencies such as ICE, law enforcement agencies such as the FBI or police, or allow it to be used to determine your eligibility for government benefits.

Raider duo nominated for All-American game mcdonald s will announce game selections Jan. 23 By mark gregory editorial director

@Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Of the hundreds of nominees for the 2020 McDonald’s All-American basketball game, 44 combined boys and girl nominees reside in the state of Illinois.

Two of those play for Bolingbrook High School.

On the boys side, Darius Burford is one of only 13 guys from the Land of Lincoln to be nominated for the game, while Treasure Thompson is one of 31 Illinois ladies on the list.

The 2020 McDonald’s All-American Games selections from this nominee list will be revealed on Jan. 23 at 2 p.m. on ESPN’s The Jump. Tickets for the games also go on sale Jan. 23.

The games will be played in Houston, Tx on April 1 with the 19th annual McDonald’s All-American Girls Game will be televised on ESPN2 at 4 p.m. and the 43rd annual Boys Game follows at 6 p.m. on ESPN. “It is an honor,” Burford said. “I really didn’t believe it.

After finding out he made the nomination list, Burford posted three 30plus point games in a row, scoring 102 points in three games combined.

In September, he committed to play next season at Elon University, a Division-I program in Elon, North Carolina.

“We go so hard in practice that the games are nothing for us,” he said.

“When I am open, I want to step up and make shots, but at the end of the day, I want to do anything to help us win games. If that is rebounding, steals, playing defense, whatever I need to do.”

The numbers Burford has put up this season, along with the schedule the Raiders play helped him get the nomination.

“Darius has been through this grind and it always helps to have an all-stater in your back pocket who can

do what he can do,” said Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost. “He is an all-state player for a reason. We have had a stretch of having all-state guards, so we kind of created a monster in a good way.”

For Thompson, she is still working her way back from knee surgery in the offseason to repair a torn meniscus and Anterior Cruciate Ligament in

her knee. She has committed to play next season for Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.

“I was very, very happy when I saw that,” Thompson said. “It is a blessing.

I have been working really hard and it shows with a nomination like this.

I am still trying to get back to where I was, then get better.”

Thompson hopes to join the likes

of Ariel Massengale and Morgan Tuck, two Bolingbrook grads that played in the McDonald’s game.

“It is good to be in a school where I can look up to them,” Thompson said. “I have a lot of players to look up to and I love the game.”

Thompson’s coach understands the select company nominated players keep. “It is a huge accomplish-

ment,” coach Chris Smith said. “It shows all the hard work she has put up. With her size and athletic ability and what she can do inside and on the perimeter, those are unique attributes that can’t be overlooked by anyone.

“Having the two of them says a lot for Bolingbrook High School to produce these kind of players.”

on a three-pointer from Morgan Glatczak (Mukwonago, Wis./Mukwonago).

UIS countered with an 15-5 run over the next four minutes to cut the Flyer lead to 41-33.

The Flyers stretched the lead back to nine on a three-pointer from Kaitlyn Williams (Homer Glen, Ill./ Joliet Catholic) and a free throw from Rachel Hinders (Johnston, Iowa/ Johnston) with 1:05 left in the half.

The Prairie Stars scored five points in the final minute of the half to cut Lewis’ lead to 45-41 at the intermission. UIS scored on its opening possession of the third quarter but the Flyers answered with a 12-2 run to extend its lead to 57-45.

Katie Gardner (Franklin, Wis./Pius XI) hit a big three with 4:06 remaining to extend the lead back to four and added two more key buckets in the final couple of minutes to keep the Prairie Stars at bay. Gardner scored 15 of her 17 points in the final 10 minutes on 6-of-7 shooting and was 2-for-3 from three.

Hinders lead four players in double figures with a game-high 26 points.

Gardner added 17, Williams finished with 14 and Glatczak finished with 10.

Column >> dave says

Stay away from debt consolidation companies dear dave, My wife and I made a resolution this year to pay off $20,000 in credit card debt we’ve accumulated. I want us to follow your plan, and live on a really tight budget. She wants us to use a debt consolidation company, like some of her friends have done.

I’m really against her idea, but how can I change her mind?

dear Blake,

Blake

I’m glad you two have made the decision to get out of debt, and gain control of your finances. When it comes to this sort of thing, it’s wise to remember there’s no magic pill. No debt consolidation company is going to get you out of debt and help you stay out of debt. The answer is learning how to control yourself and your behavior with money.

Using a debt consolidation company seems appealing, because there’s usually a lower monthly payment or lower interest rate attached.

The problem in most cases, however, is the lower payment or interest rate exists only because the term is extended. You might pay a little less each month, but you end up staying in debt longer.

There are other problems involved in using debt consolidation companies, too. For one thing, it can trash your credit for a long time when it comes to buying a car or a house. For these reasons I sometimes refer to it as a CON-solidation, because the whole thing is basically a con. They make you think you’re really doing something about your debt problem, but the debt—and all the bad habits that caused it — are still there.

My guess is your wife’s friends think using a debt consolidation company is an easy, harmless way to get out of a financial mess. But sometimes you’ve got to be an adult, admit the mistakes you’ve made, and do what it takes to straighten things out. This kind of thing isn’t a math issue. It’s a behavior issue. Making the decision to get out of debt and never go back there again, by living on a really tight budget and making sacrifices, is the best way to fix this mess and learn a lesson in the process. Live like no one else, so that later, you can live — and give — like no one else. Stay away from debt consolidation companies, Blake. Doing this the right way is worth it!

As Super Bowl LIV season Burglaries to motor vehicles begins, remember fans continue throughout county office reminds don’t let fans drive drunk sheriff s residents to lock vehicle doors more info

super Bowl liv falls on sunday, february 2, 2020; plan accordingly

Super Bowl LIV is right around the corner. This year, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is teaming up with the Joliet Police Department to remind football fans and Super Bowl partygoers that designated drivers are the best defense against the dangers of drunk driving. Super Bowl LIV falls on Sunday, February 2, 2020. If your Super Bowl celebration involves alcohol, plan for a ride home with a sober driver.

If you’re hosting the party, take care of the designated drivers. We want to remind everyone that Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.

Whether you’re attending a party, hosting a party, or going out to a bar, keep safety at the forefront of your night. When it’s time to leave, make sure your designated driver is actually sober. Remember that walking impaired can also be dangerous, so designate a sober friend to walk home with you. If you are driving, remember that sober driving isn’t the only law that should be followed: Make sure you — and your driver — wear your seat belts.

If you’re planning to be a desig-

Here are some simple reminders/tips:

nated driver, know that you’re the night’s MVP. No matter what, do not drink any alcohol — people are relying on you. While at the party, enjoy the food, the company, and the non-alcoholic drinks. Encourage other designated drivers on social media using the hashtag #DesignatedDriver. Your positive influence could help keep other designated drivers on the right track.

If someone you know has been drinking and tries to drive, take their keys and help them get home safely.

Even if they make a fuss in the moment, they’ll thank you later.

If you’re hosting this year’s Super Bowl party, prepare plenty of snacks and non-alcoholic beverages for your guests and the designated drivers. Get creative and try out some Super Bowl-themed snacks and beverages. Support your designated drivers, they’re doing everyone a favor by keeping drunk drivers off the roads.

Ask your guests to designate their sober drivers in advance, or help them coordinate with other partygoers’ designated drivers.

Remind your drinking guests that they have a long evening ahead of them, and encourage them to pace themselves, to eat food, and to drink plenty of water.

The Will County Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents to lock your vehicle doors whenever you are away from it. Together, with municipal law enforcement agencies, the Sheriff’s Office is on high alert to combat the frequent reports that we are receiving for burglaries to unlocked vehicles. Police believe that there are several crews of offenders working in areas throughout the county with no noticeable pattern. Because of the speed in which these crimes happen, it is very difficult for law enforcement to catch them. We would like to reiterate to the public that if you see any suspicious vehicle or suspicious person in your neighborhood, please call the Sheriff’s Office or your municipal police department. Although police have increased their efforts in patrolling neighborhoods, the residents who live there can be a key factor in alerting police early on to potential offenders in their areas.

The Sheriff’s Office would also like to remind citizens not to leave their vehicles running without being inside of them. Several vehicles have been stolen in recent months when the owner started the vehicle to let it warm up and re-entered their home.

Within a matter of seconds, the vehicle was gone. This also means if your vehicle is parked inside your garage with the garage door open.

≠ Lock It Up! Whether your vehicle is outside or inside a garage. Lock It! ≠ Tidy It Up! Thieves do not know what’s inside the bags you have in your car, but they are willing to steal it and anything else that may be inside your vehicle. ≠ Put away phone chargers, electronic cords/cases. These are items that let the thief know that you may have, or do have, valuable electronics inside. ≠ If you are out shopping, put purchased items in your trunk and bring it inside when you get home. ≠ Roll those windows all the way up. ≠ Park in well-lit areas. Keep outside lights on at night.

None of these tips are 100% guaranteed but taking a few seconds or minutes from your day may greatly decrease your risk of becoming a victim. Every vehicle left unlocked is an open invitation to thieves.

FACT: Burglary to a motor vehicle is a crime of opportunity.

That is to say, this crime takes literally seconds, the rewards can be great, and the chances of being caught are low.

FACT: It only takes literally seconds to lock your vehicle in order to

decrease your risk of becoming a victim, keeping your property, and not having to deal with insurance companies and law enforcement.

It seems like common sense yet we continue to receive reports from victims on a consistent basis.

Math teacher & boyfriend charged in attack Joliet west math teacher and boyfriend charged in attack on ex-boyfriend; ashlee Catalani and Ponciano vargas charged in attack By ryan ostry Bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

Thirty-three-year-old Ashlee Catalani and her boyfriend Ponciano Vargas, 40, were charged with six crimes in connection with the Dec.1 beating of Catalani’s exboyfriend.

The couple was charged with aggravated battery, criminal trespass to a vehicle, two counts of criminal

damage to property, criminal trespass to a residence and battery.

At approximately 5:14 p.m., officers responded to the 4300 block of Timber Ridge Court to an unwanted intoxicated subject.

“Vargas beat up the one male victim and Catalani proceeded to pull the hair of the female victim,” said Sergeant Chris Botzum.

During the arrest, officers who responded to the call were able to determine that Vargas and Cata-

lani, a math teacher at Joliet West, were drinking together earlier at a bar with the victims.

The victims left and went to a residence in the 4300 block of Timber Ridge Court, and then Vargas and Catalani at some point gained entry to the residence without the couple knowing.

Vargas and Catalani entered the bedroom where the victims were at, and for an unknown reason, Vargas began to batter one of the victims multiple times.

While Vargas was battering the first victim, Catalani began to pull the other victims hair, and the

victim then got away from Catalani and hid in another area of the house.

As both Vargas and Catalani were leaving the residence, they began to damage property in the victim’s residence.

Following the attack, officers located Vargas at this residence in the 2400 block of Ingalls and took him into custody without incident.

The Will County States Attorney directly indicted Catalani on Jan. 8, and issued a warrant for her arrest, where Catalani then turned herself into custody.

“We didn’t get the warrant for

Catalani,” Botzum said.

“From talking to the detective that worked on this they had enough of what was in front of them at the Grand Jury to indict her also.”

Following Catalani turning herself in, she spent Thursday Jan. 9 in the Will County Jail before posting 10 percent of her $15,000 bail money later that evening.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Catalani and Vargas as co-defendants in last month’s beating of Catalani’s exboyfriend and his current girlfriend.
