a reminder about winter weather Cancellation or delay of 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 childcare 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.

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.

Library reveals new card design to celebrate 50th anniversary

three winners were chosen from three different categories for the libraries new card design By ryan ostry Bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com

Fountaindale Library in Bolingbrook is celebrating its 50th anniversary and because of that is giving a special gift to its patrons.

In order to commemorate its 50th anniversary, Fountaindale has revealed three new library card designs.

“We’ve made an effort to grow with our community which is why I think we’ve been successful for the past 50 years,” said Communications Manager Melissa Bradley. “Our goal as a staff is to just keep meeting the needs of our community.”

The library district first opened in 1970 in a small classroom inside Park View School, which is now R.C. Hill Elementary School in Romeoville.

In August 2008, the Romeoville building was transferred to the then Des Plaines Valley Library that is now White Oak Public Library District.

In 2009, the groundbreaking for the new Bolingbrook Library was held and the new library opened on March 7, 2011, and the old building was demolished.

To celebrate the milestone, the public had to come to a conclusion about which library card was going to be utilized going forward, and the cards were designed by members of the community during last fall’s library card design contest.

During the fall contest, more than 70 entries for new card designs were submitted, and the staff narrowed down the three best designs to choose from.

The three categories that the designs fell into for choosing the new library card were from ages 12 and younger, ages 13 through 17 and then anyone 18 or older.

After the three designs were narrowed down, they were then put online for public voting where one winner was chosen from each category.

“We have about 36,000 people

The three winners that were eventually chosen from the contest were Alissa Melville, Cara Sortino and Dominic Guidice.

Boe approves rachel kinder as next superintendent mrs. kinder will succeed dr. James a. mitchem, Jr. on July 1, 2020

T

he Valley View School District 365U Board of Education voted tonight to approve Mrs. Rachel Kinder, Ed.S as Superintendent of Schools effective July 1, 2020.

Mrs. Kinder is currently VVSD’s Assistant Superintendent for Educational Services and will succeed current Superintendent Dr. James A. Mitchem, Jr. who will retire at the end of the current school year.

She will be the district’s seventh superintendent and the first female superintendent in the school district’s history.

“We are pleased to have found Dr. Mitchem’s successor within our organization,” said VVSD Board of Education President Mr. Steve

Quigley. “We will benefit from an easier transition of leadership.”

Mrs. Kinder earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Spanish Translation and Business from Northern Illinois University in 2001. She continued her education by earning her Master of Education Degree from the University of Illinois Chicago in 2004 and added a Master of Arts in Educational Administration from Governors State University in

“All three of the designs were absolutely gorgeous and we couldn’t be more excited for the winners and the designs themselves,” Bradley said. “They really all did such a wonderful job on them.”

In one of Fountaindales most recent events to go along with the new

library card design, they hosted a Winter Carnival that featured a performance and meet and greet with “Frozen” princesses Anna and Elsa.

Also with the carnival, there was laser tag, a balloon sculpture live art show, live music and games and prizes.

“The Winter Carnival was a huge success because we had more than 1,000 people in line to not just see the carnival, but see the new library card designs as well,” Bradley said.

Other events that will take place this year because of the 50th anniversary will include a Maker Faire, Summer Adventure and a birthday themed Summer Adventure.

The new library designed cards are free of charge for those who want to see the designs or obtain one. To get a new library card, someone must be resident of the library district and present two forms of ID that shows a current address.

“It’s been so fun to see how everybody has their own favorite design,” Bradley said. “Each design represents something different in the library so I also think that’s why they have been so popular so far too.”

2008. Mrs. Kinder is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Education program at Concordia University Wisconsin.

Mrs. Kinder began her teaching career in 2002 as a Spanish and English as a Second Language teacher in Joliet Township District 204 and then joined VVSD as a Spanish Teacher and Department Chair at Bolingbrook High School in 2007. In July 2009, she was named as Bolingbrook High School Assistant Principal of Curriculum and Instruction and later Interim Principal. She was instrumental in planning and implementing school and instructional improvements annually for more than 3,700 students and nearly 400 staff members.

Mrs. Kinder joined VVSD District Administration in 2011 as Assis-

Foster commends Salk Students Congressman Bill foster visits salk elementary to offer Congratulations

J

onas Salk Elementary School is having quite a year so far.

First, they learned they are 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.

Then they received a congratulatory visit from Illinois Congressman Bill Foster.

Rep. Foster explained to students there are approximately 100,000 schools in the United States and only 73 received the ESEA designation.

To put that in context, he asked the students to picture in their minds a big football stadium with 100,000 people inside, and then, picture the marching band on the field at halftime.

Rep. Bill Foster Rep. Foster said the marching band represents the proportion of the number of people in the stadium that parallels the proportion of schools that have earned this honor.

Watch the video on vvsd.org to see and hear Rep. Foster share with students the proclamation he will be reading into the Congressional Record about Salk Elementary School.

Bolingbrook shoots 50 percent from the foul line in loss to conference rival homewood-flossmoor By drake skleBa for the Bugle

@BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

In Bolingbrook’s (16-6, 3-1), heartbreaking, 47-43, Southwest Suburban Blue showdown defeat at Homewood-Flossmoor (184, 4-0) the Lady Raiders, went to the free throw line 24 times in the game — connecting on only 12 of the attempts.

Add to that, the nine missed layups and it was not too surprising the Raiders could not get out of Flossmoor with a victory over the Associated Press’ Illinois Class 4A No. 9-ranked Lady Vikings.

The Lady Raiders entered the SWSC Blue showdown ranked No. 11 in the rankings.

“Missed free-throws and missed bunnies have been our Achilles heel all season,” Bolingbrook coach Chris Smith said. “Homewood-Flossmoor is too good of a team for us to beat playing as we did tonight.”

The Lady Raiders were led

by LSU-bound senior Treasure

Thompson (11 points, five rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals). .

The two SWSC-Blue powers battled to a 24-24 tie at halftime.

Thompson scored nine of her points in the first half to lead Bolingbrook. H-F was led by 6-foot freshman Alyssa Latham (14 points, six rebounds) who scored half of the Lady Vikings points in the fist half.

The crucial fourth quarter began with H-F up 35-30.

Lady Raider sophomore Kennedi Perkins’ (10 points) old-fashioned three-point play brought the Raiders to within 35-33 in the first quarter.

“We missed too many freethrows. We missed too many layups,” Perkins said. “H-F’s height did not affect us at all. We just missed the shots. That’s been a problem for us all season.”

H-F opened up a 41-35 lead with 5:13 left. Sophomore Miranda Fry scored inside to bring the Raiders

Helicopter in crash that killed Kobe Bryant once owned by state of Illinois

By Ben orner Capitol news

www.buglenewspapers.com The luxury helicopter that crashed Sunday morning in California, killing all nine people on board including former NBA star Kobe Bryant, was once owned by the state of Illinois.

The Sikorsky S-76B helicopter was built in 1991, according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s aircraft registry. The state of Illinois used it from 2007 to 2015, according to helicopter information database Helis.

Under the direction of former Gov. Bruce Rauner, the state sold the helicopter along with four other surplus aircraft in 2015 for $2.5 million. Rauner said selling the aircraft “also avoided an additional $1 million in inspections and repairs,” according to an Associated Press story after the sales.

The winning bid for the helicopter was $515,161, placed by user “Jimbagge1,” according to a listing on the state’s online auction website, iBid. Both the aircraft and its two engines had just under 4,000 hours of airframe time when the copter was sold.

At the time of the crash, the registered owner of the helicopter was Island Express Holding Corp of Van Nuys, California, which registered it a month after it was won at auction.

The state of Illinois previously attempted to sell the helicopter in 2014, but receive zero bids, according to that auction’s iBid listing.

A public information officer at the Illinois Department of Transportation, which maintains state aircraft, did not have any available information regarding the helicopter or its uses for the state.

The copter’s information page on Helis, however, labels it as “VIP Governor.”

A public information officer for

the governor’s office also did not have available information. A PIO for the Illinois Department of Central Management Services, which operates iBid, did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

Bryant, 41, played for the Los Angeles Lakers from 1996 to 2016. He won five NBA championships, the Most Valuable Player award in 2008 and appeared in 18 all-star games.

One of his four daughters, Gianna, 13, was also killed in Sunday’s crash. Bryant also leaves behind his wife of 18 years, Vanessa.

Also killed in the crash were John

Altobelli, the head baseball coach at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California, his wife, Keri and their daughter Alyssa.

Payton Chester, a 13-year-old basketball player, and her mother Sarah were also on board as well as Christina Mauser, a coach for the girls’ team.

The pilot, Ara Zobayan, also died.

Bell tallies 11 points in Lewis’ loss to Missouri-St. Louis Lewis’ men’s basketball team ran into a hot shooting No. 18 MissouriSt. Louis lineup in its 77-63 loss at Neil Carey Arena on Saturday afternoon. The loss drops the Flyers to 108, 5-5 GLVC while the Tritons improve to 18-2, 9-1 GLVC. The two sides went back-and-forth for the first 10-plus minutes before UMSL began to pull away thanks to an 18-3 run and wouldn’t allow Lewis

to get closer than 13 points the rest of the half. The Tritons would take a 52-34 lead into the locker room at the half.

UMSL at one point in the half was shooting over 90 percent (19-for-21) from the floor as they finished the half shooting at an 81 percent clip (21-for-26).

The Flyers shot a respectable 44 percent (11-for-25) from the floor

and was 7-of-14 from three in the first 20 minutes.

The Tritons extended its lead to as many as 22 points in the second half.

Lewis made a late run to get within 12 after a basket from Vlado Zrnic (Greendale, Wis./Greendale) with 0:37 left but that would be as close as they got.

The Flyers shot nearly 45 percent (22-for-49) from the floor, was 11-

of-21 from three but shot 67 percent at the foul line. They outrebounded UMSL 27-26 but turned the ball over 15 times.

Dre Bell (Detroit, Mich./River Rouge) led Lewis with 11 points while Anthony D’Avanzo (Harwood Heights, Ill./Notre Dame), Brandon McCombs (Jacksonville, Ill./Jacksonville) and Artese Stapleton (Chicago, Ill./Kenwood) had 10 points apiece.

The Tritons dominated in the paint outscoring Lewis 38-22 in the contest. UMSL shot over 57 percent from the floor in the game, was 9-of-20 from three and shot 62 percent at the foul line. Yaakema Rose led all scorers with 26 points.

Jose Grubbs added 16 points, Jason Towery dropped in 13 points and Steve Webb finished with 12.

you off too much in terms of getting out of debt if you budget $20 or so, just to have some cash in your wallet.

I wouldn’t recommend much more than that, though. The idea of having $50, $100, or $200 in walking around money is pretty self-defeating when you’re supposedly saving, budgeting and working hard to get out of debt.

What really matters is the amount of pocket money you allow yourself to have.

Think of it as a safety valve. Sometimes things come up in the course of day-to-day life that are just necessary, unexpected expenses — but not emergencies. Just designate a small amount of cash for it as part of your regular, monthly budget and stick to that amount!

contributions to my 401(k) for a year, so I can save up an emergency fund?

I’m 28, and debt-free, but I don’t have anything saved for emergencies.

Bryan A: If you’re debt-free and making decent money at your job, it shouldn’t take a whole year to set aside an emergency fund. Just make it a priority in your monthly budget. And yes, my advice to you is temporarily stop making contributions to your 401(k) until you have a fully funded emergency fund of three to six months of expenses.

I recommend people stop investing, or wait to start investing, until they are debt-free except for their home and have a fully funded emergency fund in place. In some cases, depending on how much debt they have, it can take two or three years to do all this. I know that seems like a long time, but in the grand scheme of things it’s really not.

If you don’t have an emergency fund, but you’re contributing to a

401(k), there’s a good chance you’ll end up cashing out your 401(k) if a large, unexpected expense comes along. Then, when you cash out a 401(k) early, you get hit with a penalty plus your tax rate. That’s not a wise plan!
