Flesh eating drug now in Will County New drug reported to rot skin from inside out story By Laura Katauskas | Staff Reporter
ear is a lonely and depressing place and victims of abuse rarely escape. Every nine seconds a woman is assaulted or beaten, national statistics show, and more than half of disabled men and women are victims of abuse. The sobering statistics continue—a parent or a caregiver causes 80 percent of child abuse. Sobering still, these statistics are not on the decline but rather a constant in today’s world.
A deadly,homemade drug known as krokodil has made its way from Russia to the U.S. and is now in the Will County region, according to officials from Presence St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet. “As of late as last week, the first cases – a few people in Utah and Arizona – were reported to have been using the heroin-like drug, which rots the skin from the inside out,” said Abhin Singla, MD, Board-certified Internist, Director of Addition Services at Presence

THE BULLY REPORT BHS grad’s anti-bullying film to make worldwide debut in VVSD schools In coming weeks, many Valley View School District 365U students will mark Bullying Prevention Month by viewing a short film called “The Bully Report.” What makes “The Bully Report” so special is it was written and produced by Bolingbrook High School Class of 1989 graduate Vincent Irby and it was shot in its entirety at VVSD’s Wood View Elementary School. Irby, a former news broadcaster turned film maker, has also submitted the fourminute film to the Sundance Film Festival as well as several other film festivals. “I wanted my first project to be meaningful and I wanted to do something other than boy falls in love with girl.

shutdown Prioritization act brings attention to government ‘perks’ Congressman Bill Foster (IL-11), along with Congressman Patrick Murphy (FL-18), introduced the Shutdown Prioritization Act (SPA) which would force Speaker Boehner to remove the Members only gym and spa from his list of essential House services. “Members of Congress should not enjoy access to their exclusive gym and spa while Capitol police go without pay, children are being turned away from Head Start and veterans are left wondering if their benefits will come in the mail on November 1st,” said Foster. Despite Speaker Boehner’s refusal to allow a majority vote on a clean resolution to reopen the government, Boehner believes Members of Congress deserve to
receive perks like the House gym, sauna and steam room. He has deemed the gym and spa, used exclusively by Members of the House of Representatives to be “essential” during the shutdown. Not only are Members of Congress still able to access the taxpayerfunded gym, sauna and steam room while tens of thousands of federal employees remain furloughed, janitorial staff are still required to clean and maintain the gym and restock it with towels and other “essential” items. The SPA Act would prohibit the Architect of the Capitol from operating the Member gym during a government shutdown. See PERKS, page 5

CMAP’s Bennett a Nowhere Man I was stunned when I first heard what the chairman of a regional planning board had to say about Will County, calling it a “wasteland” and “Nowhere Land” during a recent public meeting on the Illiana Tollway. Then, I kind of chuckled a bit. Gerald Bennett is chairman of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, one of the groups that gets to weigh in on whether the Illiana should be included in the region’s federal funding plans. He’s probably one of those Chicago guys, I thought, like I used to be:Thinks everything south of Division Street is “southern Illinois” and west of 45 just isn’t worth worrying about. Then I looked up Bennett’s bio on the CMAP website: “Serving his seventh term as Mayor of the City of Palos Hills, Gerald Bennett has been an outspoken advocate for uniting cities and villages. He founded and continues to serve as the President of the Southwest Conference of Mayors. He was a co-founder and serves as Chairman of the Board of the Southwest Central Dispatch (an
intergovernmental police and fire 911 service). Bennett has served as past Chair of the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus and is currently a member of the Mayors Caucus Executive Committee. He has also served as the President of the Illinois Municipal League and was the co-chair of the Mayors Caucus 2016 Olympic Regional Coordinating Committee.As the representative from Southwest Cook County, Bennett holds the position of Chair of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and its Executive Committee. A businessman for 40 years, Bennett is President of Bennett Dental Labs, Inc., in Palos Hills. He attended Lewis University and the University of Illinois at Chicago.” Lewis University. Let’s see, last I checked, that’s in that vast wasteland of Will County. Palos isn’t so far off from “Nowhere Land,” either.And surely as President of the Illinois Municipal League, Bennett must have ventured through other parts of the state settled after Lewis and Clark took off. I also would think a “strong advocate of cities and villages”

would be more well-rounded and take into account the possibility another east-west route through an already busy intersection of two crosscountry interstates just might help.Although one then would have to know that I-80 isn’t a Bingo number. Bennett and another CMAP board member also charge this whole Illiana thing is political, “dropped on us by the governor and IDOT.” Which governor, Mr. Bennett? The one in Illinois or the one in Indiana? This is a two-state project aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in the Chicago region, albeit the southern end of the spectrum. “A truck bypass does not create jobs,” Randy Blankenhorn, executive director for CMAP, bloviated at the meeting.“I don’t feel [the Illiana project] is what that region, which does need economic development, needs.” Does chronic congestion create jobs?

constantly? Or would you want the opportunity to deliver your goods on time, even if it cost you $30 for the privilege of using the Illiana? Speaking of cost, no one at CMAP is saying much about the Illiana being a public-private partnership between the two states and a private investor. If there are no interested investors (and it appears there are), then the project doesn’t go forward. Yet CMAP officials have staunchly stuck to their parochial ways of protecting funds for their own projects with little regard for an area for which they have little regard. Regardless of the “real” vote, which takes place at

At the grand opening of the White Oak Crest Hill Library, I was amazed at the width and length of this beautiful building. The building (inside and outside) is most assuredly a vibrant beam of light that shines for all. It is the star of Crest Hill. As you drive south on Weber Road, to the left, next to Menards is this outstanding library. The “Friends of the Library” (White Oak) have donated about $14,000 for more children’s books and computers. All school age children and adults now have computers. All pre-school children have their own computer with a chair next to them for their guardian. The playroom for the children
has a brilliance with the colors displayed. It is awesome. The former Crest Hill Library was small and therefore the new library needed more books for the children to utilize. This also included the computers. As a former parttime library employee, I saw in all of the employees patience, perseverance and teamwork. The employees of the library worked very diligently during the high heat of the summer to transfer books to Crest Hill and Lockport. The teamwork is shown by the leadership of Scott Pointon, the director. He empowers by example. He is dedicated and so are his many employees. Everyone, young and old, need someone or someplace
to hang onto. Reading and companionship are the answers. Abraham Lincoln, one of our great presidents, became a lawyer and then president. He never had the privilege to attend school. But, he always carried and read books. Knowledge is power. Libraries matter. We applaud Scott and all of his employees. We are proud of our three White Oak Libraries – Crest Hill, Lockport and Romeoville. The future generation and the present of this entity deserve it. Our libraries forge ahead to the future.

While these new, more rigorous expectations for every child in Valley View School District 365U are already starting to show positive results, change is a process that requires that school communities work together to understand the changes that are taking place. That’s why Superintendent James Mitchem and his team have scheduled ten community outreach opportunities over the next six weeks in nine different locations throughout Bolingbrook and Romeoville. “We want our parents and the community to not only understand the tremendous progress the district has made through The New View: A Design for Change,” Mitchem said. “But we also want to provide parents with additional

SILENCE Continued from Page 1
It is important to me to raise awareness in hopes that one day we can all live in a world where
Groups like Citizens Against Abuse desperately want to change that, bringing awareness through its 15th annual Take Back the Night rally and march Oct. 10. It was a chance to stand up and speak out about all forms of abuse, including physical, sexual, and emotional. For Ann Biebly it was a chance to remember her 13-yearold neighbor Rachel Mellon, a suspected victim of abuse allegedly by a family member, who went missing in 1996. She walked carrying a large poster of photos of Mellon, a replica of a prayer card made by her brother. Her father who has since moved from the area will be back this week, holding a memorial service at a nearby park as he does every year on her birthday. “I’ve just never been able to get over it—how does a child just disappear,” said Biebly. Stopping the silence and putting an end to the cycle is an ongoing effort. Joining the fight to bring awareness and help to those that need it is at the heart of the annual Northern Will County’s Take Back the Night, hoping to bring attention to the violence in communities and inspire action that will bring an end to domestic and sexual violence. Take Back the Night was

a chance to empower with speeches from Will County States Attorney James Glasglow and the office’s determination to prosecute abusers but also their mission to derail their attempts and reach out to those being abused, encouraging those in need to seek refuge. “It is important to participate in take back the night because it is raising awareness in our community about sexual assault and domestic violence,” said Samantha Trippett, an advocate from Guardian Angels. “It is important to me to raise awareness in hopes that one day we can all live in a world where sexual assault and domestic violence does not exist.” It also was a sense of empowerment that John Dralle and Anne Dralle Huegli offered in showing rally goers how to face their attacker, physically. Trained in martial arts, the pair demonstrated how to fend off a would-be attacker. Most importantly, women need to maintain situational awareness. Dralle offered a few tips for those

situations where a woman is left alone, be it an isolated parking lot or bathroom in the workplace. Dralle said most attackers look for places a victim is vulnerable and told the audience a few seemingly simple, but often times life-saving tips. Be observant. Put down the cell phone and have your keys ready. Lock your car door as soon as you get in. Don’t sit in your car; get in and go. Simple things can become a weapon—your keys, a pen, a lollipop—carry out in the open and if needed aim for the eyes. Though a man may outweigh a woman, he still has sensitive areas—attack the eyes, nose, neck, and groin areas. The idea is to surprise them and then flee, said Dralle. “There also is no shame in going back into that store and asking someone to escort you to your car,” said Dralle. “Don’t be distracted; don’t hang out in these areas, it’s the biggest mistake and don’t forget to use your voice— scream and yell!” Even clothing and hairstyle can play into an attacker’s hands—get
rid of the ponytail or anything that can make it easier for him to grab you. Even loose clothing is a green light for some. Don’t be predictive in your daily routine and do not remain too comfortable in your surroundings. Dralle said these are the areas that most people tend to forget and are the most common reasons women can fall to a predator. “Don’t always take the same path when you run; leave the headphones and keep the hood down,” said Dralle. “Try to change up the daily routine. You never know when someone is watching.” Inspired with tips for survival and with the stories of those lost to domestic violence forefront
in their minds, the group of supporters marched along the streets of Bolingbrook calling on passerbys to simply be aware, chanting, “Citizens Against Abuse unite! Take Back the Night! Stand up! Speak out! Take Back the Night!” Take Back the Night rallies and marches began in Europe in the early 1970s and the first in the Will County area in 1998.The first Take Back the Night in the United States was held in San Francisco in 1978 when the Anti-Rape Movement brought together thousands of women to declare an end of violence. Since that night, it has become an annual event nationwide as well as in other parts of the world.

Horoscopes You could need to see an optometrist because you may mistake the carrot for the stick. In the week ahead, you should avoid giving in to temptations or making changes on the spur of the moment.
Consider what’s best for everyone before you take action in the upcoming week. A generous spirit will act as a shield against competitors and offers an ambitious partner necessary assistance.
You are as good as you think you are. At the same time, your confidence about your abilities might lead you to be overly generous or careless with cash in the week to come. Spread good will but not money.
Rise above petty issues or irrational fears. You could yoyo between optimism and pessimism. Put on your thinking cap later this week to make a wise decision that will have a long-range positive effect.
You might not be a ballerina but you should still stay on your toes. Your ability to act with a creative flair is enhanced in the week ahead. Write down inspirations and ideas, as they may be useful in the future.
Secrecy and trust can work together. Prove your worth to allies by remaining discreet. Sometime after the middle of the week is the best time to launch key strategies and make your move for career success.
Truth and honesty will take you far in the upcoming week. Activities within the community may bring satisfaction. Be cautious about spending, but don’t be bashful about displaying your talents.
Don’t fall prey to unfounded fears. You may worry that too many ears are connected to too many mouths. Put important plans into motion later in the week, when your confidence is at a higher point.
Carry on and carry through on contracts, promises and agreements in the week ahead. Your bank account can move into the black if you play your cards right. New contacts upgrade your social life.
Make yourself into a money magnet. You could be intuitively at the right place at the right time to score big time in the world of commerce if you don’t take unnecessary risks in the week ahead.
Ignore unsubstantiated feelings of discomfort or worry. You could seem too high strung or changeful to others in the upcoming week. Find some quiet time to meditate and return to your solid center.
Look for opportunities to upgrade your public image in the coming week. To do this, concentrate on developing viable and worthy goals rather than trying to be a shrewd business person.

Spartans lose line of scrimmage battle, game By Scott Taylor Sports Editor
A lot of football games are won on the line of scrimmage. Plainfield East dominated the line or scrimmage, especially defensively, and it paid off in a 21-6 win over Romeoville (3-4, 2-3) Friday night at East. The Bengals (5-2 overall, 3-2 in Southwest Prairie Conference) were in the offensive backfield often and many times it was the young defensive end duo in junior Daniel Jackson and sophomore Donald Manning. East limited the Spartans’ potent offensive attack to 172 total yards and had four sacks. “Their defensive line won the football game,” Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna said. “They were better than us up front. Our offensive line didn’t get it done. Our backs ran hard. They took a lot of hits to earn the yards they got. Unfortunately we didn’t give them enough blocking tonight. They have some fast guys and brought some pressure and we didn’t do a good job of picking it up tonight.” Scott Taylor/Enterprise Staff

THE BUGLE OCTOBER 17, 2013
SPARTANS Continued from page 13 The combination of quarterback Kelvin Jones and receiver Chuck Hunter had
254 yards through the air the previous week against North but were limited to 33 connections for 14 yards. The Bengals scored 21 points in the first quarter and that would be all they would need for the game.
Sports It took them less than two minutes to score as Cole Kotopka hit Shederick Majors for a 67-yard pass on the first play, which set up a 3-yard run for Kotopka. “They hit us on a big play early,” Kuna said. “They are a big play team. We knew that was a big threat we had to worry about and we gave one up on the first play of the game to put ourselves in a hole. It took us some time to settle in, but we played good after that.” A high snap over the punter’s head on Romeoville’s opening possession gave the Bengals a short field and Jake Mayon ran it in from 14 yards out for a 14-0 lead. Mayon turned in a big play on the next possession as he had
a 47-yard run to get into the red zone. Kotopka finished the drive with a 1-yard plunge with 2:14 left in the first quarter for a 21-0 lead. Romeoville’s defense stiffened from there and neither team seriously challenged in the second quarter. “Our defense settled in around the second quarter,” Kuna said. “They were slow to start, but played well after that.” The Spartans had a pair of red zone opportunities in the third quarter, but couldn’t convert either time.They found the end zone with 2:39 left in the game on a 22-yard run by Miguel Ford. East was led offensively by Mayon, who ran 17 times for 99 yards. Kotopka added 43 yards
rushing and was 6-of-14 passing for 126 yards. Ford had nine carries for 73 yards for the Spartans, while Gill Whitaker ran 19 times for 86 yards. The Spartans now have their backs to the wall with two games to go, needing to win both games to become playoff eligible, where it would then come down to playoff points. That process starts Friday night with Oswego East (5-2) coming to town, fresh off a blowout win over Minooka. “We need to win the last two games,” Kuna said. “We’re not in the position we wanted to be in, but we still have an opportunity. As long as you have a chance, there’s hope.” Follow Scott @Taylor_Sports staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Bolingbrook sends three to sectionals By Scott Taylor Sports Editor
Bolingbrook is represented yet again at the sectional level after three players qualified for sectionals Oct. 8 at the Oswego Regional at Blackberry Oaks Golf Course in Bristol. Seniors Adam D’Virgilio (82) and Paul Kramolisch (84), as

well as sophomore Jacob Nagel (87) all finished among the top 10 individuals not on the top three teams to qualify for the Pekin Sectional Oct. 14. “It means the world to me,” Kramolisch said. “Coming out today, I didn’t have the greatest day, but I survived. I made timely shots and got myself to sectionals. When I came in with
the 84 I was kind of nervous because I thought I was on the bubble. I made it through. Having other people control your destiny is kind of shocking. It makes you want to focus on the other scores, but you have to focus on what you need to do.” See THREE, page 16

THE BUGLE OCTOBER 17, 2013
Sports THREE Continued from page 15 “I’m a little surprised, but I knew I had it in me the whole time,” Nagel said. “When I came in with the 87 I knew I was going to be on the bubble, but I pulled it out. It was kind of stressful because with Oswego not making it, I ended up the 10th score instead of the eighth.” D’Virgilio is a four-time sectional qualifier. He advanced with the team as a freshman and was an individual the past two years. However, he wasn’t overly happy with his round. “I had two doubles that I shouldn’t have had,” D’Virgilio.“I had one shot go out of bounds, which was so bad. A 78 was probably the goal without those two doubles.” His last double was at the par5 11th hole. He rebounded with a solid finish to his round. “After my last double I kept on hitting greens,” D’Virgilio stated. “I kept putting the ball on the green and making pars with one
bogey the rest of the way.” D’Virgilio was alone at sectional the past two years, but welcomes his teammates this year and he hopes it helps him make it to state for the first time. “It’s a great feeling having them coming with me,” D’Virgilio said. “I was by myself the past two years. I think since they are with me I will have more confidence. I’m thinking I will need to shoot in the 70s to have a chance. I’ve hit 73 and 76 in two tournaments. It doesn’t matter what I shoot if I make it to state. I’ve been waiting for it a long time.” Nagel and Kramolisch also hope to find success at sectionals. “I want to make it to state,” Kramolisch said. “That has been my goal from the beginning of the season. I have to strike the ball better.” “Anything under 84 would be good for me,” Nagel said. “That would be pretty satisfying for me. That has been my low score all year, so even if that doesn’t make it to state, it is still a
personal achievement.” Kramolisch used a strong short game to advance to sectional play. “The key to success today was the short game and the putting,” Kramolisch said.“It saved my day a lot. I was comfortable coming out today. I was nervous on the first hole, but settled down from there.” Meanwhile, Nagel had strong iron play to advance to sectionals for the first time. “The key to my round were my irons,” Nagel said. “I hit nine greens today. If you don’t hit greens, you don’t put yourself in position to make birdies and pars. So, that was the key today. It excites me because I know I can do a little better.” Also scoring for the Raiders at the regional was Greg Page, who shot a 99. •Romeoville also competed at the Oswego Regional. The Spartans got scores from Dakota Vostry (98), Jacob Lewis (110), Brian Joy (114) and Brian Davis (133). Follow Scott @Taylor_Sports staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Valley View girls golf sets sights on future By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
In order to find the last Bolingbrook girls golfer to advance to the sectional round, one would have to go back to the 2007-08 season. While that did not change this season, the future is looking bright for the Raiders. At the Oct. 9 Lemont Regional at Broken Arrow Golf Club in Lockport, Bolingbrook was paced by junior Morgan Schultz, who finished two shots off the qualifying mark, carding a 102. “I was hoping to shoot bellow 100 and I ended up shooting two over 100,” Schultz said. “So I am kind of a little bit disappointed with myself because I didn’t go under 100, but I am also happy that I didn’t go completely over.” Schultz is happy with the way her game has improved this season. “I used to be really bad and then I got some lessons and now I am playing better,” she said. “This is my first regional since I started taking lessons and I have improved a lot. Last year I shot like 132. Hopefully next year I will reach my goal and break 100.” It is not only Schultz that leaves hope for the future of the Raiders’ program, as all four scorers at the regional were underclassmen. Freshman Caitlin Walker carded a 123 to place second on the team. “I haven’t really played 18 holes a lot this year, so it got a bit tiring for me,” Walker said. “I did good first on the first few holes and then I got a little shaky, but I
pushed through.” Walker said she plans on working to better her game. “I plan on progressing,” she said. “I shot 115 at conference, so I am hoping to be in the 110 range next year, but really I would like to be better than my expectations. I have three more years, so I have a lot of time to progress.” Fellow freshman Mia Wilson was third on the team with a 129, while junior Haley Provo tied her with a 129 of her own. Jessica Ramos, the lone senior in the lineup, shot a 140 and did not score. Bolingbrook totaled a 483 and placed ninth as a team. Across the district, Romeoville is losing a pair of key seniors in Alicia Vitel and Estefanie Alvarez. “We are losing two good girls and I would have liked to see them advance,” said Romeoville coach Doug Darguzis. Alvarez paced the team with a 121, while Vitel carded a 128. The two were three-year varsity players and the Spartans are looking to get youth in and rebuild using Bolingbrook’s model. “(Bolingbrook coach) Chris (Malinoski) said they had six new players show up and they all had their own clubs and that right there is a start,” Darguzis said.“We have three girls coming back so we have to recruit some players. We have to go get those softball players that have that aggressive swing.” They had one of those players in freshman Bailey Kavalliunas who shot a 148 and along with a 131 from Megan Nunez, made up the team score.
Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff
Caitlin Walker shot a 123 for Bolingbrook at the Lemont Regional at Broken Arrow Golf Club Oct. 9.
“We just have to have these kids bring a friend,” Darguzis said. He said that he hopes more athletes from spring and winter sports see that golf is a game they can play and stay competitive much longer than any other. “That is something a lot of kids don’t realize,” Darguzis said. “Dakota (Vostry, a bowler) on the boys side said he wished he had played all four years, well, I hope we don’t get girls who come out too late and wish they would have.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

First kick is set for 7:30 PM at Lewis Stadium. “We did what we needed to do offensively today and I thought we played well defensively enough to keep a clean sheet,” Lewis head men’s soccer coach Evan Fiffles said. With the victory, Lewis moves to 8-0-4 on the season and 7-0-3 in GLVC action, while the Prairie Stars fall to 5-8 on the campaign and 4-6 in conference play.

Sophomore defender Isaac Sutton (Carol Stream, Ill./
St. Joseph) and freshman midfielder Alexandro Ayala (South Holland, Ill./ Thornwood) assisted on the play. Lewis added an insurance goal in the 65th minute, as Lenin Roa-Tapia (Schaumburg, Ill./Hoffman Estates) scored his first tally of the season. Senior forward Cristhian Ramirez (Wheeling, Ill./Wheeling) and senior goalkeeper Alec Pickett (Mokena, Ill./Providence ) both contributed to the score. Pickett earned his sixth solo shutout of the season, as he stopped six UIS shots on the afternoon. Turanchik made four saves in goal for the Prairie Stars. As a team, Lewis outshot UIS, 9-8, while both teams recorded six shots on goal.
WOMEN’S SOCCER The Lewis University women’s soccer team picked up a 3-1 victory over Illinois Springfield to snap their threegame losing streak on Sunday (Oct. 13) at Lewis Stadium.

Raiders host Griffins with SWSC title on the line By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
It has been the case in most of the past few seasons that the game between Lincoln-Way East and Bolingbrook plays heavily into deciding who wins the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division title. That is the case again Friday night when the Raiders (7-0, 5-0) host the Griffins (6-1, 4-1) with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff. Lincoln-Way East comes into the game with a 5-3 advantage in the series, which dates back to 2006. The Griffins have also claimed the last three consecutive games, including handing Bolingbrook its only loss during its 13-1 state championship season. This season, East comes in with one loss at the hands of Homewood-Flossmoor. Bolingbrook defeated H-F 31-24 in overtime last week to remain undefeated overall and have the upperhand in the SWSC. It also earned Bolingbrook the first-ever Alec Anderson Trophy. In the game, the Raiders allowed more points to the Vikings than they had all season coming into the game. Led by Parrker Westphal, Tuf Borland, Micah Dew-Treadway and Jacob Huff, the Bolingbrook defense has been stingy this season, allowing an average of 7.6 points per game. Lincoln-Way East has averaged 30.3 points per contest this season, scoring more than 20 points in every conference game thus far.
The Lincoln-Way East offense is captained by quarterback Jordan Wirtz, while Paul Gossage ia his prime receiver. The Bolingbrook offense has Quincy Woods back under center and has the running attack of Jaden Huff and Mike Valentine. • At halftime of the contest, Bolingbrook will honor the 1993 team that advanced to the IHSA State Championship. The game lost 7-0 to Belvidere. It marked only the sixth time the Raiders qualified for the IHSA Playoffs. It was the second year of a 21year streak of qualifying for the playoffs that continues today as one of the longest streaks in the state. With seven wins this season, the Raiders have qualified for the post season for the 22nd year. Follow @2Mark_My_Words mark@buglenewspapers.com

How to make more hours in a day Q. We were downsized during the recession and have been short staffed every since. I keep getting asked to do more with less, and I’m pulling my hair out. Is there any way to make more time in a day? A. Yes, despite popular opinion you can make more time by doing three tasks: -Stop wasting time on activities that are not critical. -Negotiate with your boss about what will not get done. -”Waste” time on the front end to negotiate long-term solutions that fix repetitive problems. Start by keeping an activity log of how you spent Monday through Friday. Yes, this will take a little more time. However, as with a diet journal, when you review your log at the end of the week, you’ll notice where you spend time on office “junk food.” As you review your log, highlight the time wasters. People who don’t get to the point, meetings you didn’t need to attend, or traveling for a personal meeting when

How much term do I need? Dear Dave, Should term life insurance be purchased based on your current earnings or future, projected earnings? Dan Dear Dan, I usually recommend people have 10 to 12 times their current annual income in a good, level term life insurance policy. However, if you have a solid reason to project your income jumping significantly in the near future, there’s nothing wrong with basing your amount of life insurance coverage on that figure—as long as you can afford it. Now, when I say a solid reason, I’m not talking about having an attitude of,“I’m smart. So, I’m going to make tons more money
soon.”That’s ego, not reason. But if you’re in a residency finishing your medical degree, you can realistically look at making $40,000 to $50,000 for another year or two then making the jump to $200,000.That’s the kind of logical thinking and planning I’m talking about. In that scenario, a huge jump in income is almost assured.There’s nothing wrong with going ahead and getting more coverage. The purpose of life insurance is to take care of your family if something unexpected should happen to you.You don’t want to go nuts and buy too much unnecessarily, but you should have enough to ensure that they’re well taken care of when you’re not around. —Dave
The last word(s)
Q. I’m leaving my job for a great position. My boss has been a completely jerk and I’d love to tell both him and human resources off before I leave. Since I won’t have to deal with him anymore once I take my new job, is there any big downside to this? A. Yes, unless you expect your boss and former company to move to another planet, no industry is big enough for you to tell people off on the way out the door. Focus on celebrating your future not getting even with your past.

County WIC open despite government shutdown Despite uncertainty generated by the partial federal government shutdown, it’s business as usual for Will County Health Department WIC locations in Joliet, Bolingbrook, and University Park. WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, serves more than 9,000 low-income pregnant women, breastfeeding women and children under the age of five in Will County. Eligible clients receive approved foods to supplement their diets and benefit from oneon-one nutrition education
during appointments with a WIC specialist. Unfortunately, some clients mistakenly believe services have been suspended due to the recent federal government shutdown. “Our WIC staff have been receiving calls from clients concerned about the program closing its doors due to the partial federal government shutdown,” according to John Cicero, Will County Health Department Executive Director. “WIC programs throughout Illinois remain open for business and WIC clients should continue to keep scheduled appointments
until further notice. Funding is in place to support Illinois WIC services through October 31.” Will County WIC offices are located inside Health Department facilities at 501 Ella Avenue in Joliet, 323 Quadrangle in Bolingbrook, and 44 Town Center in University Park. The Health Department has been the home of WIC services in Will County since 1982. Across Illinois,WIC provides services to more than 280,000 women, infants, and children. The program currently serves 53 percent of all infants born in the U.S.

CMAP votes against Illiana Corridor Illiana has been proposed as a public-private partnership project By Nick Reiher Managing Editor Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter
The CMAP Board voted 10 to 4 Oct. 9 against amending its GO TO 2040 plan to include the Illiana corridor project, a nearly 50-mile road from Interstate 55 near Wilmington in Will County to Interstate 65 in Indiana. The project, supported by state officials in Indiana and Illinois, had been on the fast track until CMAP officials late last year chastised the Illinois Department of Transportation for leaving them out of the loop. Since then, CMAP staff have recommended rejecting the plan due to inconsistent financing and economic forecasts. Last week, however, CMAP’s Transportation Committee supported including the Illiana. The Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Policy Committee, chaired by Illinois Transportation
He told board members the days of political pressure being applied to the funding of transportation plans in the region were over, and that the both the integrity and the credibility of CMAP were at risk if the 2040 plan was amended to include the Illiana project. “I’m not going to back down to political pressure,” said Bennett.

CMAP Continued from Page 21 “But those ‘nowhere land and ‘wasteland’ comments just show an attitude of how [CMAP] sees the southern area of the region.” He also felt that CMAP and those from Will County had a discrepancy when it came to the kind of traffic that transportation projects should improve. He believes CMAP favors alleviating commuter traffic through already established urban areas, while the proponents of the Illiana project want to improve commercial and freight traffic in order to attract more economic development to the Will County area. “A truck bypass does not create jobs,” said Randy Blankenhorn, executive director for CMAP. “I don’t feel [the Illiana project] is what that region, which does need economic development, needs.” Sean O’Shea, deputy chief of staff for Gov. Pat Quinn, was at the meeting and said that since the Illiana project would be a tollway,
it could to generate revenue to offset its cost. CMAP wouldn’t call their vote to deny the Illiana project an “advisory vote,” but CMAP spokesperson Tom Garritano couldn’t give another name for it when asked by media at the press conference. CMAP board members voting for amending the 2040 plan to include the Illiana project were: Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar of Will County; Rick Reinbold of South Cook County; Ray Rupp Srch of DuPage County; and Tom Weisner of Kane County. Voting against the amendment were: Frank Beal of Chicago; Rita Athas of Chicago; Raul Raymundo of Chicago; Lisa Laws of Chicago; Pete Silvestri of Suburban Cook County; Gerald Bennett of South West Cook County; William Rodeghier of West Cook County; Al Larson of North West Cook County; Elliott Hartstein of Lake County; and Carolyn Schofield of McHenry County. IDOT spokeswoman Jae Miller said they were disappointed with the outcome of the “advisory
vote on an innovative project that will support both short- and longterm economic development and population growth throughout the entire region, state and Midwest.” She said the project is “strongly supported” by more than 40 communities, Will County, the governors of Illinois and Indiana, business owners, labor organizations and thousands of other stakeholders across two states. “The Illiana will create better ways to distribute the region’s goods; welcome new investment from businesses that depend on good transportation; make it easier, safer and more energy-andtime-efficient to travel throughout Illinois and Indiana;and create both short and long-term employment for thousands, all with low risk for taxpayers,” she added. “We will continue to work with the Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Committee to ensure understanding of the huge economic, transportation and quality of life benefits of this project.”

RETIRE SMART By Jill Schlesinger | Tribune Content Agency
After years of political fighting, a Supreme Court decision and lots of confusion, the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA or “Obamacare”) kicked off on October 1. The government has established the website Healthcare.gov to manage all aspects of the ACA, but if you need a cheat sheet, here are some of the most frequently asked questions: Q. What do I need to do? A. If you are an uninsured U.S. citizen or legal resident, you must be enrolled in qualifying health coverage in 2014 or face a penalty. Qualifying coverage includes: employer-provided insurance; government programs like Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP); COBRA; privately purchased insurance; or coverage you purchase in a state or federal marketplace. Q. What are “exchanges” or “marketplaces”?
A. On October 1, online health insurance marketplaces (also known as “exchanges”) launched so that individuals without insurance as well as small businesses with up to 50 employees could shop for insurance coverage. State and federal governments are not providing the coverage, rather they are aggregating the information for consumers through one platform - the marketplace. It’s like using Travelocity to understand the cost of various airlines flying to your desired destination, rather than visiting each airline’s website. Costs of coverage vary by type of coverage, state of residence, age and family situation. Q. What are the penalties for NOT having coverage? A. For each household, the greater of: - 2014: $95 per uninsured adult and $47.50 per uninsured child, capped at $285 per household, OR 1 percent of household income.
- 2015: $325 per uninsured adult and $162.50 per child, capped at $975 per household, OR 2 percent of household income. - 2016: $695 per uninsured adult and $347.50 per child, capped at $2,085 per household, OR 2.5 percent of household income. Q. Are there exemptions from penalties? A. Yes, for economic hardship, religious objections, American Indians, those without coverage for less than
3 months, undocumented immigrants and incarcerated individuals.
of four, credits are available for incomes of $23,550 up to $94,200.
Q. Will Uncle Sam help financially? A. Yes. Beginning in 2014, there will be tax credits for individuals and families making between 100 and 400 percent of the federal poverty level, who purchase insurance through the marketplaces and who are ineligible for coverage through an employer or a government plan.
