rhs senior named merit scholarship semi-finalist

ryan Boots hopes to qualify for scholarship By ryan ostry Bugle staff

@RyanOstry_BR18 rostry@buglenewspapers.com Romeoville High School senior Ryan Boots has big goals in mind.

A future bioengineering student, who has always been interested in Stem Cell Research, is currently taking AP Chemistry and AP Physics as a couple of his high school courses.

“I’ve always enjoyed reading about Stem Cell Research and I’ve always been a huge science guy,” Boots said.

“I’ve also been trying to really focus on the last couple year the high end math courses, because that’s obvi-

vvsd administration Proposes 202021 school year Calendar the Pillars of valley view: ms. lori richard, lunch/ Playground aideskoff elementary Ms. Lori Richard has been a lunchroom playground aide at Beverly Skoff Elementary School since the school opened in 2005. Prior to that, Ms. Richard served Valley View Elementary.

Lori’s job title is lunchroom playground aide, but she is so much more than that.

She is truly the face of Skoff Elementary. You will find Ms. Richard at Skoff throughout the summer (on her own time) creating beautiful bulletin boards for our students.

All staff and students enjoy seeing her creations. Lori continuously goes above and beyond expectations with our students, as she is a community member, knows many of the Skoff families personally, and refers to Skoff as her “home”. Lori has a heart of gold and is truly an asset to VVSD.

VVSD Administration presented a proposal for the 202021 School Year Calendar to the Board of Education on Sept. 23, 2019.

The Board also approved a slight change to the 2019-20 School Year Calendar. In addition to being a non-attendance day for students, Tue. March 17, 2020 is also a non-attendance day for VVSD staff members.

romeoville hs homecoming assembly lives up to Big expectations One of the highlights of the school year at Romeoville HS is the annual Homecoming Assembly featuring the RHS Drumline.

Somehow, Drumline Director Mr. Adam Hill and his students always come up with a performance that tops the performance from the previous year.

he had on his PSAT test proved that.

The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which is a standardized test administered by the College Board and cosponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in the United States, must be taken to qualify and become a semifinalist.

“To my understanding they cut off the first 50,000 scores and they go not just off of the PSAT score, but they score your responses to the questions as well,” Boots said. “It gives you your National Merit qualifying index card.”

Of the 50,000 scores, names get broken down to the next highest 16,000 scores, which then separates even more students.

An application still has to be filled out and submitted where another 1,000 students nationwide will get cut off, leaving just 15,000 finalists across the country.

A part of that application process is detailing school performance, leadership skills, community activities, plus honors and awards received.

“That application process also involves a written part from the vice principal saying why they think I would be good for this scholarship and why I’m basically worthy of it,” Boots said. “I’m crossing my fingers.”

Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million, and those who do qualify, scholarships are worth $2,500.

Getting this far in the process Boots said is fulfilling, but with only 50 percent of the students ending up with a college scholarship, Boots said he can’t do much in the meantime besides wait and hope for the best.

“Well when I first found out I was in English class and my phone was blowing up so after I went into the hallway and I couldn’t really scream and shout because people were in the hallway, so I just did in my head,” Boots said. “I know there’s still the application process and it will be awhile until I found out if I qualify for that next round, but I’m just really hoping I’m chosen in April.”

raiders survive early scare, hold off lockport for fifth win

In a game that was a tale of two halves, Bolingbrook came out on top 29-14 over Lockport.

The Porters (2-4,2-2), who are led by first year head coach George Czart, received the ball first in the game and exploded out of the gate with a 40-yard rush by senior running back Colin Schmutzler (33 rushes, 127 yards) that set up a six-yard rushing touchdown by Schmutzler to put the Porters up 7-0 in the first quarter.

On the Porters second drive of the game, backup quarterback junior Riley Pfeiffer extended the Porters lead to 14-0 with a 15-yard rushing touchdown.

Pfeiffer is filling in for injured senior Marcos Voulgaris, who was hurt in the second game of the year With 2 minutes, 20 left in the first quarter, the Raiders showed some life.

On just his second rush of the evening, sophomore running back Jaquan Howard broke free from 61-yards out to cut the Porters lead to just seven points.

For the game, Howard carried the ball 16 times for 200 yards.

A standstill second quarter for both teams with many defensive stops put the Porters up 14-7 at the half.

“This is the first team that’s really lined up and come right at us, right at our heart,” said Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow, “We’ve not had that before.”

In the second half, a completely

antonio king and Bolingbrook moved to 5-1 on the season with a win at lockport. different Raider team showed up on the field.

A 16-yard rushing touchdown by Howard and a two-point conversion put Bolingbrook up 15-14 with 9:30 left in the third quarter.

On the following drive, a 30-yard bubble screen touchdown pass and catch from senior quarterback Devyn Suggs to senior receiver Antonio King extended the Raiders’ lead 23-14.

“Suggs just made a great throw and I made a couple people miss and the rest is history,” King said. “We didn’t play Bolingbrook football in the first half, we got reenergized and came out firing in the second half.”

Bolingbrook took a 23-14 lead into the fourth quarter and the offense didn’t stop there.

A nine-yard touchdown run by Howard, his third touchdown of the game, put the Raiders up 29-14 and

the game out of reach for the Porters late in the contest.

“We made some necessary adjustments on defense,” Ivlow said. “Offensively we had like two possessions in the first half, we had some finesse and then got more into our power game and that’s when I thought we really started clicking then.”

For Czart, he said he knows how close his team was to knocking off one of the better teams in the state

and his team is going in the right direction, but a win is much more important than a close, hard-fought battle.

“We just didn’t sustain anything offensively really in the second half like we did especially - in the first quarter,” Czart said. “We fought hard but it wasn’t enough, give credit to [Ivlow] and their players, they are a very good football team.”

Debt is not a mathematics problem your probability of becoming wealthy is more closely connected to your behavior, than sophistication In this week’s “Dave Says,” individuals ask if paying off debts from smallest to largest is a good theory

and if using savings to purchase rental property is good practice:

dear dave, I’ve heard lots of different theories and recommendations when it comes to paying off debt. Why do you advise paying off debts from smallest to largest?

marlee

dear marlee, A lot of people wonder the same thing when I bring up the debt snowball. Some think paying off the debt with highest interest rate first is the best approach.

This may seem to make sense mathematically, but I realized a long time ago debt is not a mathematics problem—it’s a behavior problem.

Personal finance is 80 percent behavior, and only 20 percent head knowledge. Besides, if all those people were so great at math, they wouldn’t be up to their eyeballs in debt in the first place!

The reason the debt snowball pays off debt from smallest to largest is that

modifying your behavior and providing inspiration to get out of debt is more important than the math.

Your probability of becoming wealthy is more closely connected to your behavior than your financial “sophistication” or academic pedigree.

When you pay off a small debt you experience success, and that gives you hope.

Then, you move on the next debt.

When you pay that one off, and you’ve wiped out two debts, it really energizes you. At that point you start to get excited, and you begin to believe in yourself and in the fact you’re actually on the road to becoming debt-free!
