Lipinski wins 3rd District

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Leader of a newly formed district, but not new to winning, U.S. Representative, D-Western Springs, Dan Lipinski was reelected to a fifth term in the House of Representatives in the 3rd District in a show of overwhelming support.

“I am humbled by today’s victory, and I look forward to representing all of the people of the new 3rd District,” said Lipinski in his speech election night. “Throughout this campaign, I heard from Independents, Republicans and Democrats who are frustrated with partisan bickering that accomplishes nothing. Many told me that they appreciate my independent leadership

and my willingness to listen to them, and do what is right for the district and the country.

“I am hopeful that now that this election is over, we can start working together for solutions to the many issues that we face, beginning with getting people back to work and reducing our mounting debt.”

Making his presence known since the map of the 3rd District was redrawn, Lipinski caught the support of the majority of voters, including the new addition of Will County voters.

Lipinski defeated Republican Richard Grabowski.

Rep. Lipinski, and Christa Fornaotto of the FAA meet at Lewis University last November to discuss future improvements to the airport.

For motorists who find themselves screeching to a halt on Weber Road, where traffic merges to a single lane, relief is in sight—at least for the winter.

Crews will be restoring the section of Weber Road that stretches from Airport Road to Gaskin Drive back to two lanes and completing work that stretches to Renwick Road within time for Thanksgiving.

Weber Road construction has caused traffic delays between Airport Road and Gaskin Drive.

WEBER ROAD Continued from page 1 Highway Department isn’t much further along than when construction first started at the beginning of summer. Will County Engineer Jeff Ronaldson said the two projects along this stretch incurred major delays

waiting for ComEd and AT&T to move their utility lines so that construction could begin.

The construction plan for Weber Road was set to widen the road to three lanes on either side to reduce traffic congestion.That work has yet to begin. Ronaldson said the utilities are just finishing up their work, and the highway department is still working on sewer lines that are behind the

curb area.

“We could not leave the area the way it is now for the winter season,” said Ronaldson. “We lost a whole construction season, and now we have to pave it and put it back to two lanes until the spring.”

Despite work not starting until spring, the project still is slated to be complete in November 2013.

Foster wins 11 Congressional District th

Long-time representative Biggert cedes to Democratic challenger in newly-drawn district

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

In a game-changing race, Democrat Bill Foster ousted veteran Judy Biggert in the l1th Congressional District, calling his victory “a win for the middle class.

“I look forward to working hard for all of you and for all the citizens of the new 11th District,” Foster told a crowd of his supporters at the Bolingbrook Holiday Inn on Election Night.

In one of the most heated campaigns, Foster prevailed over Biggert, who once claimed a stronghold in the area for more than a decade, beginning her reign in 1999.

LIPINSKI Continued from page 1 and has been represented by Lipinski since January 2005.The district had included west and southwest suburbs of Chicago as far as the DuPage County border, as well as a portion of the southwest side of the city of Chicago itself.

The redistricting change of 2011 increased the boundaries of the district stretching from the South Side of Chicago through the suburbs to include all or parts of Chicago, Bridgeview, Burbank, Crest Hill, Hickory Hills, Homer Glen, Justice, La Grange, Lemont, Lockport, Oak Lawn, Palos Heights, Palos Hills, Romeoville, Summit, Western Springs and Worth.

“I have tried to spend my time out here since the map was redrawn—the Will County portion may not be big, but it is an important part of the district,” said Lipinski.

One of his first initiatives in the area, was a big move to increase funding for the repavement of a runway at Lewis University last year. He brought the FAA’s Associate Administrator for Airports to Lewis University Airport to meet with local officials and

“For our district and for our country, the debate on Obamacare is over; the debate over whether our financial system should return to a world of unlimited leverage and zero regulation— that debate is over too…” Foster said.

“What does this election mean?

Our nation faces tough problems that are more than a decade in the making. There will be no doubt that compromise will be required, but there is no doubt that when the elected representatives come to Congress and come to the table to strike that final compromise, that hard-working middle-class families, that small manufacturing businesses like the one my brother and I started and that seniors who depend on the generosity of all

discuss plans for the airport’s future late last year.

“Lewis University Airport is a great asset in Will County and already serves as an economic engine for the area and has the potential to make an even greater contribution to local economic development and job creation, said Lipinski. “I am happy to work with local officials and be an advocate for them in Washington. I will do whatever is needed to promote the airport.”

He also believes the Heritage Corridor is an issue that will affect the area, striving to encourage further Metra service on the line that stretches to Joliet.

Rep. Lipinski has been leading the push to expand commuter service on the Heritage Corridor, which currently offers only three weekday round trips between Joliet and Chicago’s Union Station, with stops in Summit, Willow Springs, Lemont, and Lockport.

He said the Canadian National railroad is stalling the move to allow Metra on track and is adamant about working to change that.

Unemployment is still the biggest issue facing not only this area, but across the board, he said. With a focus on jobs through various efforts he plans to continue, Lipinski vowed

Americans for their retirement security—that they will all get a much better deal if Bill Foster is representing them at the table.”

Foster thanked his supporters for being part of the election and thanked Biggert; saying despite all things said on the campaign trail, Biggert demonstrated a real commitment to the public service and hard work. In addition, he said he and Biggert were friends forced into world of politics that they were deeply uncomfortable with, referring to an onslaught of nasty campaigning.

“It has been a long and hardfought race, but tonight the voters have spoken,” said Biggert in a statement. “… Representing the people of this area has been the great honor of my lifetime. I can never thank them enough for their kindnesses towards me, their generosity with their ideas, their patience when we don’t see eye-to-eye and their deep love of community and

country.”

The new 11th District stretches through Chicago’s western suburbs and covers five counties: Kane, Kendall, DuPage, Will and Cook. It includes the following communities:Aurora,Montgomery, North Aurora, Oswego, Plainfield, Darien,Downers Grove,Naperville, Lisle, Willowbrook, Woodridge, Bolingbrook, Crest Hill, Joliet, New Lenox, Romeoville, Shorewood and Burr Ridge.

“I’d also like to thank my incredible volunteers,” Biggert said.“As we all know, this race was never supposed to happen. When the new congressional districts were drawn in Springfield to elect more Democrats, they thought that I would shy away from a tough race in a district tailormade for my opponent. With the help of so many great people, we turned what was supposed to be a Democrat slam-dunk into one of the most competitive races in the country. We made them work for

it, and I will never regret that.”

Naperville resident Foster is a scientist, businessman and former U.S.Congressman who served from March 2008 until January 2011 as the Representative of Illinois’ 14th Congressional District.

His campaign materials state that Foster began his political career in 2007 by challenging former Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert in one of the most famously Republican districts in the nation. Then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama endorsed Foster. In what was described as “A Political Earthquake, “ Foster won that election, becoming the first Democrat to represent the district in more than 60 years. Obama again endorsed Foster for this run.

Foster believes in restoring fiscal discipline to government, rebalancing the economy, improving the health of U.S. manufacturing, and reforming Wall Street to prevent another economic crisis.

to “work with local leaders and residents to take care of issues that are important to communities throughout the 3rd District, He intends to continue to provide service and organize various programs and events, including fairs for area seniors, veterans, and job-seekers.

Last year, Lipinski released a five-point Jobs Plan that aims to foster domestic job growth by strengthening manufacturing, modernizing infrastructure, improving education and

workforce training, restoring fair trade, and investing in innovative research and development.

Lipinski reiterated his fight to rise above Washington’s bickering, moving to work together and get people back to work, acknowledging work needs to begin immediately.

“This work needs to start right away, not wait until next year,” he continued. “We still have big issues to deal with before the end of the year, starting with the fiscal cliff. We are heading back into the lame duck session with four more weeks to try to get it done—I have hope.”

Democrats gain split on County Board

By Nick Reiher Managing Editor

Sixty-five percent of Will County’s 386,172 registered voters turned out Election Night, Nov. 6, to help elect and re-elect many Democrats, from President Barack Obama to local congressional, state and county officials.

Scott Pyles, Will County Democratic chairman, said their candidates won the oldfashioned way Election Night.

“We worked this election,” Pyles said. “Our precinct committeemen worked like they never had before. Our candidates went door to door.”

Later, he told the crowd at the IBEW Local 176 Hall in Joliet, “We’re having a very good night.”

Strong showings by Democratic incumbents and newcomers resulted in a 13-13 split on the Will County Board, the first time in years Republicans haven’t had a majority. This was the first election following the adoption of a newly drawn map with 13 County Board districts, each with two representatives.

Board Chairman Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said there were several districts where Democrats were thought to have a slight edge.

“I thought that one would be close,” he said of the County Board race.

Until very late on Election Night, it looked as though the final count would be 14-12 Republicans. However, some votes from the Aurora portion of Will County’s new Board District 5 arrived late, Moustis said, after being mistakenly sent from the Aurora Election Commission to Kane County instead of Will.

The additional votes allowed Democratic challenger Reed Bible of Aurora to edge incumbent Republican John Argoudelis by 160 votes, Moustis said. Incumbent Republican Lee Ann Goodson retained her seat in that district. Officials warn,

however, that some 15,000 provisional votes still need to be counted, so close races such as this could be affected.

Moustis said he isn’t sure exactly how the County Board will reorganize once the new members are sworn in in December. He says he believes there still needs to be a chairman, but he’s not sure how that person would be chosen. Instead of majority leaders and minority leaders, he said, there could be a Republican leader and a Democratic leader on the Board.

“I don’t know how we’ll (choose) committees,” he said.

“Maybe we won’t have any committees. I think the only one we are statutorily required to have is Land Use.” As for the 13-13 split, Moustis said he doesn’t expect many tie votes. At any given meeting, he said there usually is at least one Board member absent.

Furthermore, Moustis said, with the exception of budget and tax issues, there aren’t many votes that go straight party-line.

County Executive Larry Walsh, who won handily on Election Night, said he doesn’t expect many changes if the Board split remains 13-13. He noted that

he already has had to vote in tie situations when, due to absences, there have been an even number of County Board members voting on an issue.

And, unlike some past years, Walsh added the Board often uses previous roll call votes, meaning there are not a lot of party-line changes on each issue.

Walsh said one issue that may need a legal opinion, if Board members cannot agree themselves, is if he would have to vote if there is a tie for votes on County Board leadership.

Otherwise, he said, it should be business as usual.

County Board Member Walt Adamic, D-Joliet, the current Democratic leader, isn’t sure if he will put his name in for Board chairman. He, too, said the board will have to work together to figure out leadership.

Board member Joe Babich, D-Joliet, has one idea. He wants to be chairman of the Forest Preserve District Board, which has the same membership as the County Board. In 30 years on Republican-dominated boards, he said, he never has had a chairmanship.

Babich already has some ideas of how to tie in the Broadway

Greenway development in Joliet with the Teal Woods Forest Preserve, which he and late Board Member Dick Budde helped foster.

Democrats Sweep Offices Democrats held on to offices for county executive, state’s attorney, auditor, circuit clerk and coroner, the most heated of which was the state’s attorney’s race.

Glasgow said winning the Drew Peterson and Christopher Vaughn murder trials late in the campaign “certainly” helped him in his Election Night win over Republican Dave Carlson.

“I can’t remember the last time we lost a murder trial,” Glasgow said.“But there are so many other things our office does. Our Drug Court is one of the top five in the country. We just started our new Veterans Court. And ever since I donated that van, I hear a veteran has not been late for a doctor’s appointment.”

Glasgow chastised his opponent for negative campaigning, and he said the two high-profile murder cases could

have spelled trouble if they had gone the other way. Still, some even accused him of rigging the court calendar to take advantage of the visibility.

“A lot of people said I was going to lose the Peterson case,” he said.“I knew I would win, but why would I have done that if people thought I was going to lose?”

Glasgow also credited his staff of assistants for his victories in the courtroom and on Election Night.“I have a tremendous staff,” he said.

Officials say a strong Democratic turnout locally, combined with favorable maps redrawn by House Speaker Michael Madigan, helped Bill Foster of Naperville defeat GOP stalwart Judy Biggert in the 11th Congressional District race.

Likewise, Democrat Dan Lipinski defeated Bill Grabowski in the 3rd House District.

“I look forward to working hard for all of you and for all the citizens of the new 11th District,” Foster told a crowd of his supporters after Biggert conceded the race. “For our district and for our country, the debate on Obamacare is over; the debate over whether our financial system should return to a world of unlimited leverage and zero regulation— that debate is over too…”

Biggert issued a statement following her concession call.

“It has been a long and hardfought race, but tonight the voters have spoken,” she said. “… Representing the people of this area has been the great honor of my lifetime. I can never thank them enough for their kindnesses towards me, their generosity with their ideas, their patience when we don’t see eyeto-eye, and their deep love of community and country.”

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. also won handily over GOP challenger Brian Woodworth.

Peterson search ends with no leads

By Laura Katauskas Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

A renewed search for Stacy Peterson,missing wife of convicted Drew Peterson, concluded after a week-long search of the Hammel Woods Forest Preserve in Shorewood with nothing found.

The Illinois State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed that an on-going investigation into the case concluded after the week-long search in a statement release Nov. 9.

The Illinois State Police were offering no official comment on a joint effort with the FBI when the search began. But the presence of Cassandra Cales, sister of Stacy Peterson, had many presuming

the effort was directed at locating the missing Bolingbrook mom.

The search included dogs, a helicopter and personnel from state and federal authorities in the 400-acre Will County forest preserve.

Officials declined to confirm details of the investigation for security reasons.

“The Illinois State Police’s top priority is to preserve the integrity of an investigation and any comments or details released during the investigative process could potentially compromise our efforts,” said ISP Zone 3 Commander Michael Cooke in a press release.

Law enforcement officials confirmed no “tip” was provided, and search efforts were part of the on-going investigation of the

Peterson case. Law enforcement officials also pointed to the unique opportunity to use FBI resources and for agency cross training at the scene.

“Anytime we have the ability to work with other law enforcement and public safety agencies on specialized investigations, we take full advantage of the available resources and expertise to strengthen our techniques and strategies,” Cooke added.

The Plainfield Fire Department was also on the scene and assisted with the search efforts.

The search comes on the heels of a guilty verdict handed down in September for Peterson who was convicted of killing his third wife Kathleen Savio who was found dead in a dry bathtub in 2004.

Her death was originally ruled

accidental until new suspicion arose, when Drew’s fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, went missing in 2007. Drew Peterson was a suspect in her disappearance, but her body was never found.

During the Savio court trial, testimony included hearsay testimony from a lawyer consulted by Stacy Peterson that

said she claimed Drew Peterson killed Savio. Drew Peterson has maintained that she ran off with another man.

At the time of the verdict, Will County States Attorney Jim Glasglow alluded to the fact that the investigation of both Stacy Peterson and Lisa Stebic would continue with new strength.

Schools

Valley View to begin green cleaning initiative While the great efforts put forth

by Valley View School District 365U teachers, paraprofessionals and administrators are playing a key role in “The New View: A Design for Change,” another group of individuals is working equally as hard behind the scenes to make sure VVSD children are able to learn in high performance environments.

“There is a well-documented correlation between air quality and student performance,” said Mike Lopez, Director of Facility Operations for VVSD. That’s why Lopez and his team have partnered with GCA Services in an environmentally-friendly “green cleaning initiative” that Lopez says “goes beyond” the requirements of the fairly new Illinois Green Cleaning Schools Act. GCA Services,which has handled building cleaning chores in VVSD for well over a decade, began using

microfiber cleaning products this year rather than cotton rags.

“Most people aren’t aware of the benefit of microfiber products but using them has a significant impact on the classroom because they are capable of capturing more dust particles than traditional cotton products, which means there are fewer dust particles floating around in the air,” said Jim Wayne, VVSD’s Facility Operations Leadman.

VVSD has also purchased new floor scrubbers that utilize ioncharging ECH2O technology.

In layman’s terms, that means electrically-charged water particles are used to aggressively break down dirt particles and then collect them in the water-only solution, thus eliminating the need to use harsh floor cleaning supplies.

“This is high tech stuff,” said Wayne. “It’s more effective at picking up dirt and a much more sustainable method of doing so.”

Something else that is more

effective at picking up dirt is the new walk-off mats at building entrances. The mats are able to catch and hold more dirt than normal mats. Each year VVSD has been routinely replacing worn mats with the new walk off mats at various schools.

In addition, Wayne said, VVSD is using more green chemicals on a daily basis for desktop and surface cleaning and glass cleaning as well as in bathrooms, including drying towels, toilet tissue and hand washing materials.

VVSD continues to maintain hand sanitizers throughout all of its facilities and is an active recycler of many materials.

“This all contributes to a high performance learning environment,” he said. “When air quality isn’t good and the buildings are not kept clean, there is a real impact on the well being and attendance of both students and staff.

H o ro s c o p e s Let’s get physical. The more energy you expend, the more you have. Take big strides on the jogging path of life this week. You might find out that someone doesn’t trust you as much as you think.

First impressions can be faulty. A misconception may make you overly cautious or too trusting in a social situation. Diplomacy may be taken to extremes early in the week and camouflage the facts.

You are sharper than cheddar cheese. Since you can easily step back to maintain a broad view of future consequences you will be able to avoid problems and misunderstandings in the early part of the week.

Grease the gears of necessity. By acting the part of the consummate professional, you can overcome obstacles. Avoid making new investments or major purchases in the early part of the week ahead.

Make your point crystal clear. Do not leave your motives open to interpretation in the week to come. Explain yourself completely and leave nothing to chance.

Avoid romantic digressions in the first half of the week.

When it rains, it pours.

You may encounter a sticky mechanism in your emotional metabolism early in the week. Hold off on making crucial financial decisions and avoid disputes with loved ones.

Use powers of observation. Some people see more in a walk around the block than others see in a trip around the world. Avoid making financial decisions or commitments in the first half of the week to come.

Chill out. Decisions about love and relationships can wait a little longer. There could be a temporary period early this week when you think the worst of others or they may not reveal true feelings.

Develop dynamic ideas. You might not be able to persuade others in the early half of the week.

Keep notes and start putting them into motion late in the week to demonstrate clear leadership abilities.

Waiting is wise.

Gathering helpful information in advance will make it easier to choose optimum timing. Don’t accept or make promises in the first half of the week, as they may be difficult to honor.

Mull it over. In the first half of the week, seek advice from wiser and more experienced heads before you rush headlong into a new course of action. Expert guidance can prevent mistakes.

Intuitions can trip you up. When in retrograde, Mercury usually doesn’t cause real problems - but nevertheless you would be wise to watch paperwork and communications carefully during the first half of this week.

New-look Spartans ready for action

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Jimmy Moon is the leading returning scorer for Romeoville at 2.6 points per game.

There will be a new look on the court this year for Romeoville.

The Spartans (6-22 last year) lose their top three scorers from last year and will be looking for some players to step up.

“We aren’t returning a lot of experience, so we will have to make up for it in other ways,” Romeoville coach Jeff Bambule said. “We have a lot of new guys, so it will be interesting to see who will step up and where the scoring comes from.

The competition is fierce and everyone is working hard. We enjoy being around them.”

The leading returning scorer is Jimmy Moon at 2.6 points per game last year. Jaylon Richardson will join him as the seniors with the most experience.

“Jimmy is probably our best shooter,” Bambule said. “He had a good summer as far as scoring goes. Jaylon had a good summer and will play inside for us a little bit. He can go inside and outside and will do whatever we need. He worked hard in the summer.”

Bambule will look for those seniors to provide leadership with the younger players.

“These seniors are leaders in a

quiet way,” Bambule said. “We’re still trying to have someone step up to be a vocal leader, but they are leaders by example. They do things the right way in practice, and maybe that’s o.k.”

There will be a trio of juniors who got their feet wet as sophomores last year. Armani Bonilla is a post player who played in 10 games last year, while Christian Diaz played in nine and James Boyd was called up for the playoff game.

“Armani and Christian got some experience last year, which should help them out,” Bambule said. “Christian will probably be our point guard and Armani our post. They both work hard and we expect good things from them. James is a junior guard who is a great kid and a hard worker. He really works hard on his game and I’m expecting big things from him.”

With a lack of scoring punch, the Spartans will look to the defense to keep them in games and help them score points offensively.

“We’re definitely going to have to be strong defensively,” Bambule said. “We’re going to have to play defense with some high intensity and create some things offensively.”

Lewis women’s basketball, volleyball both grab wins Sophomore Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./Bloomington Central Catholic) kicked off the 201213 season with a double-double as she led the Lewis University women’s basketball team to a 70-60 victory over Saginaw Valley State in the GLVC/GLIAC Challenge on Saturday (Nov. 10). Reinhart had 19 points and 16 rebounds in 33 minutes of action.

The Flyers go to 1-0 on the season, while the Cardinals fall to 0-1.

“We did a great job on the glass,” Lewis head women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen said. “When we got back to the basics, we can

rebound and get out and go.”

Lewis out rebounded Saginaw Valley State 56-35, pulling down 20 offensive rebounds.

In the first half, the Flyers took a 6-5 lead at 15:12 when Sam Rinehart (Marion, Iowa/Marion) scored and held the lead until the Cardinals’ Briana Graham tied the game at 18-all at 6:19.

The rest of the first half, the teams battled back and forth, with Saginaw Valley State taking a 30-27 lead into half.

At the start of the second half the Flyers offense stalled a bit, but Carlsen called a time out at 14:46 that led to two straight scoring opportunities to tie the game at

40-all.

The squad was able to pull away late in the game when Kristen Itschner (Metamora, Ill./Peoria Notre Dame) scored to break the 52-52 tie at 7:24. Lewis was able to steadily build a 10-point lead to win the game 70-60.

Sophomore guard Nikki Nellen (New Berlin, Wis./Pius XI) scored 10 points, pulled down four rebounds and dished out four assists.

Senior Labrenthia Murdock (Round Lake, Ill./Round Lake) scored 12 points, including going 3-for-3 at the free throw line, had four rebounds, two blocks and two assists.

Kayla Womack came off the bench to led Saginaw Valley State with 15 points.

“We were able to see Northwood play really well against Saint Joseph’s before our game,” Carlsen said. “Tomorrow will be a good match up for us.”

VOLLEYBALL The Lewis University women’s volleyball team wrapped up the 2012 regular season with 3-0 victories over Kentucky Wesleyan and Urbana on Saturday (Nov. 10). Lewis defeated Kentucky Wesleyan 25-18, 25-12, 25-21, and defeated Urbana 25-20, 25-13, 25-

11.

With the victories, Lewis improves to 24-9 on the season and 15-3 against Great Lakes Valley Conference opponents, which earns the squad a share of the GLVC East Division title.

“Everybody played today and they all were happy to be playing,” Lewis head women’s volleyball coach Lorelee Smith said. “The team treated today’s matches like another match, not the end of the season, and I appreciated that.”

Against Kentucky Wesleyan, Cassidy Parsons (Elkhart, Ind./ Elkhart Memorial) led the Flyers with a double-double with 13 kills and 11 digs.

Seniors ready to lead Spartans

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Kiera Currie returns a 16 point, 10 rebound per game average to the Spartans.

Romeoville has been full of youth the past few seasons, being led by underclassmen.

This year its top four scorers are all back and are all seniors, ready for high expectations after winning the Southwest Prairie Conference championship last year.

“They have high expectations and I know they want to achieve them,” Carrasco said. “They want to go out with a bang.Twenty one or 22 wins is great but they want to accomplish a lot this season.”

Senior Kiera Currie is back to lead the way after averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds a game last year. She has worked on her game in the offseason to develop more of a perimeter game in addition to her post game.

“Kiera has looked phenomenal,” Carrasco said. “She is in the top two or three in terms of quickness. Her shot has gotten a lot better.”

Abby Smith (9.8 points, 4.3 assists, 4.2 assists), Brianna Harris (10.5 points, 6.2 rebounds) and Angelica Osusky (8.2 points, 26 three-pointers) are all back for their senior season.

While the Spartans know what they are getting from the veterans, it will be the supporting cast that will be key for this year.

“We moved up five or six girls from the freshmen and sophomore program and we need to get ready for next year,” Carrasco said.“We’re not going to say we’re going to take this year lightly, we’re playing to win. But we have to have a deep bench.

Last year we didn’t have a deep bench. We didn’t have the depth to compete with Plainfield East at the end. They just wore out our players.We need to get that depth so we can rest our starters.”

Sophomores Jamie Hopper and Perla Gutierrez have been moved up, as is freshman Skye Osborne.

Ivlow, defense carry JCA to semifinals

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When it was determined on the Joliet Catholic Academy sideline that star running back Ty Isaac would not be able to continue due to a reinjured hamstring, the JCA coaching staff went into scramble mode to figure out what to do.

The decision?

Go to the same offense they ran against Niles Notre Dame earlier this year with fullback Mike Ivlow in a running back position and pound the football at the Lincoln Way West defense.

“I was cramping up and (Tyler) Reitz said to go back to the offense we had in the Notre Dame game with me at wingback and Ben Hart at fullback,” Ivlow said. “Ben came in and blocked amazing and I was able to get the yards.”

With the chunks of yards Ivlow was gaining, it made the decision of play calling easy, especially in overtime.

“Mike Ivlow wants the ball every time,” said JCA coach Dan Sharp. “He has a fire and great football IQ. He runs hard and keeps his legs moving. He has a strong lower body. The way he was running, we were just going to keep feeding him. It was not difficult play calling. Even Reitz said to give it to Ivlow. Reitz said he could clear the way. He has no ego, Reitz is a captain and he wanted to do what we needed to win. He wanted to play in the semifinals.”

SENIORS Continued from page 15 and she is a little more physical,” Carrasco said. “She wasn’t as a freshman, which is why we didn’t bring her up. Sky is able to shoot from any spot on the court.

Perla can get some minutes in the middle and led Kiera play on the outside more.”

Defensively, the Spartans hope to mix things up a little more

ACTION Continued from page 13 The offense has a balanced approach, and with good ball movement, could be efficient.

The players have bought into

That fire makes his teammates rally around the junior transfer from Minooka.

“It is fun to block for him because he just runs so hard and he wants to win as much as all of us,” said junior offensive lineman J.B. Butler. “He has the biggest heart on the team and he willed us to win today.”

Ivlow gained the bulk of his 77 yards in the fourth quarter and overtime, and scored the gamewinning touchdown in overtime as the Hillmen defeated LincolnWay West 21-20 to advance to the Class 5A state semifinals.

Ivlow carried the ball three times in the overtime period to get the score.

“I told coach Sharp I wanted the ball every time and I was surprised I got it all three times,” Ivlow said.“This is the best game I have ever been a part of. This is amazing.”

JCA will host nemesis Montini at 1 p.m. Saturday. Montini was a 42-27 winner over Marian Central Catholic in quarterfinal play, and defeated JCA 70-45 in the state finals a year ago.

It wasn’t all Ivlow that helped advance the Hillmen.The defense played well all game, including making the game-winning stop on the Warriors’ two-point conversion.

After Javier Montalvo answered Ivlow’s score, instead of kicking the point after, West decided to go for the two-point conversion and the win.

West quarterback Justin Keuch

tried to get in on a quarterback keeper up the middle, and while Butler, a part-time defensive lineman, and crew had his legs at the bottom of the pile, Keuch fought to lean his upper body over the goal line.

That’s when Joliet Catholic junior linebacker Zach Rezin grabbed Keuch and pulled him back, keeping him from breaking the plane of the goal line and preserving the win for JCA. “I took his legs his out and he was leaning with his upper body and Zach just came and took control,” Butler said.

It was Rezin’s read on the play that helped JCA win.

“I thought they were going to

run to the outside, so I was on my guy and I saw the quarterback take it up the middle,” he said.

“Guys were grabbing his legs, but he still had a chance to get to the end zone, but I just jumped on his back and pulled him.”

The Hilltoppers jumped out early to a 14-0 lead thanks to a pair of TD runs by Isaac (20 carries, 180 yards) before halftime.

The defense, which only allowed 209 yards all game, got a boost early on from a pair of Grant Harrison interceptions.

“The offense has picked us up so much this year, so it was nice to come through and play hard in a game they were not at their best,” Rezin said.

This weekend marks the fourth time the Hillmen and Montini have played in the last four years.

Historically, JCA is 2-3 against the Broncos; 1-2 since 2009.

The Hillmen have lost both meetings in the playoffs the last three years, falling last season as well as losing 29-28 in the state title game in 2009. In 2010, JCA defeated Montini at Joliet’s Memorial Stadium 21-7 to open the season.

Montini advanced to the semifinal behind an eight carry, 240-yard, five touchdown performance from quarterback Mark Gorogianis. Dimitri Taylor added 17 carries for 163 yards.

than they have in the past.

“Our defense is going to be a key,” Carrasco stated. “We’ve pressured a lot of teams the past couple years. In the back half of the season last year, teams started to realize what we were trying to do. I think we will need to try a few different things this year.”

The offense will need to finish plays better around the rim as missed layups have been harmful in recent years.

“If there’s anything we

definitely need to work on, it’s finishing our layups,” Carrasco said. “We can’t have all the missed layups anymore.We can’t keep missing those shots.”

If Romeoville can achieve success in these areas, another SPC title is within reach.

However, the SPC will be a lot more competitive this year.

“I think a lot of other teams got better,” Carrasco said. “Plainfield East and Oswego East got better.

Minooka beat us in the summer and they had a good sophomore

team last year. We have to be ready for them.”

What should help the Spartans this year is a much improved scheduled. Not only should it toughen them up for the conference, it could help them come seeding in the sectional, especially if they can win some of those games.

“We want to play the best and that’s why we’re playing at the Montini Christmas Classic this year and the McDonalds Willowbrook shootout,”

Carrasco said. “We got rid of much of our nonconference schedule and picked up a couple more tournaments. I’ve been tired talking about how we got shafted the past couple years with our regional seed. I wanted to play other teams.”

Romeoville opens its season Thursday, November 15, against Joliet Central at the Romeoville Thanksgiving Classic.

Tipoff time is scheduled for 8:15.

the team approach so far in the season.

“We’re trying to get the guys to all be team players and give the ball to the hot hand,” Bambule said. “So far it has been pretty refreshing to have that attitude.

We will see what happens when the lights come on.”

As far as the Southwest Prairie Conference goes, it appears to be headlined by Oswego, but there is plenty of talent around to make it wide open.

“If I had to pick a favorite right now I would say Oswego,” Bambule said.“Oswego East will be good too. Plainfield East lost a

lot of guys but their lower levels were talented. Nick (DiForti) at Plainfield North is a great coach and they have those three sophomores and will be tough.”

Romeoville opens its season at 6:45 p.m. November 19 against Lockport at the WJOL Thanksgiving Tournament at the

University of St. Francis.

“We open up with Lockport and that will be a tough game,” Bambule said.“We play Minooka and Providence, so we will be tested and will get to see Minooka preconference. We’re looking forward to it.”

Benet wins on game’s final play

By Matt Le Cren Contributing writer

Less than six miles separate Benet and Downers Grove North, but the two schools had never met on the football field until Saturday.

They were separated by mere inches in a Class 7A state quarterfinal at Carstens Field in Downers Grove. That was the margin between the foot of Benet receiver Jack Toner and the back of the end zone when Toler came down with the gamewinning touchdown catch as time expired.

The five-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Jack Beneventi to Toner gave Benet a thrilling 26-24 victory and its first state semifinal berth since 1984.

The Redwings (11-1), which tied the school record for wins, will host Lincoln-Way East (12-0) at Benedictine University.

“That was my first time in an ending like that,” Beneventi said.

“It was just crazy with how loud it got and Jack Toner made a great play. I threw the ball a little high and for a second my heart dropped, but he just had his arms all the way out, got his feet in and made a great catch.”

For a minute, there was confusion as no official signaled touchdown and many in the announced crowd of 4,875 assumed Toner was out of bounds, but he knew he got one foot down.

“I knew I had to catch it otherwise my high school career would be over,” said Toner, who made three of his four receptions on the final drive.“I looked down for the line. The defender was in front of me so Jack put it where he couldn’t get it and I could.”

The decisive play started with just three seconds remaining after Beneventi stopped the clock by spiking the ball after keeping Benet’s hopes alive with a 13-yard pass to Toner on fourth-and-five.

The Trojans defended it well but Beneventi threaded the needle.

“It was a slant,”Toner said.“I got jammed by that corner – he did a pretty good job – and I kind of just

slipped behind him. Beneventi rolled out and saw me in the back of the end zone, he threw it up and I went up and got it.”

As the Redwings stormed the field, the host Trojans (7-5) stood in stunned silence as their improbable playoff run came to an excruciating end.

“That last three seconds I’m going to remember for the rest of my life,” Downers North junior defensive lineman Vontae Diggs said. “That ball was put on the money, but if you ask any of us we’ll tell you he was out of bounds. It looked like he was out of bounds but the ref called him in and we can’t take anything back.”

It was Diggs who sparked an amazing rally by the Trojans, who trailed 20-7 after three quarters. First, Diggs blocked a punt and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown with 22 seconds gone in the fourth quarter.

Three plays later, he recovered a fumble at the Benet 37, which set up Brandon Salter’s 24-yard touchdown run that put Downers North ahead 21-20 with 7:39 left.

Kendrick Schultz then recovered a fumble at the Benet 26 on the ensuing kickoff, leading to a 30yard field goal by Gareth Jones that extended the lead to 24-20.

Things looked rosy for North when the Redwings turned the ball over on downs at the Trojans 36 with 1:48 remaining.The hosts needed only a first down to run out the clock, but Benet’s defense forced a punt and the visitors took over at their own 35 with 1:24 to go.

Beneventi, who completed 25 of 46 passes for 236 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, calmly drove his team 65 yards for a score, just as he had at the end of the first half, when he tossed a 14-yard TD pass to Nick McTarnaghan with 25 seconds left and a 20-7 cushion.

“I wasn’t nervous, for some reason,” Beneventi said. “It was a weird feeling. With how loud the stadium was getting, you felt all the support. We have great players out there so there was no way for me to get nervous. I knew

everyone was going to make the plays out there.”

So did Toner, part of a senior class that has led Benet’s remarkable progress from last year’s 1-8 record.

“I had no doubt that we were going to score,” Toner said. “We made a few mistakes in a row and we could have given up. But our team is strong and we came back and we got the win.”

The Redwings needed some good fortune to do it. In addition to Toner’s last two catches, Joe Batina kept Benet’s hopes alive when he made a diving catch on a deflected pass for a 25-yard gain

of third-and-15 from midfield.

“It was a fun game to watch, probably, for the fans,” Downers North coach John Wander said.“I wish it would have gone the other way, but that’s the way things go in life. [The last] three seconds I wish we had back, but you can’t get them back. We should have gotten that first down and we wouldn’t have had that problem.”

The loss ended a turnaround season for the Trojans, who were 2-7 in 2011 but stunned unbeaten Batavia and upset Thornton on the road to reach the quarterfinals.

“I thought it was a great year for us,” said North sophomore

quarterback David Edwards, who rushed for 54 yards and a two-yard touchdown. “We fought extremely hard and they just made a play at the end. All my teammates are great. I love each and every one of them.

“We gave our best effort each and every game and each and every practice and I’m extremely grateful for that.”

Wander was grateful for his squad’s efforts.

“I can’t fault my young men at all,”Wander said.“Their work ethic, their practice habits, everything they did is first class and I think they went out in a first-class way.”

National save for retirement week

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

Happy National Save for Retirement Week! Retirement has become such a hot issue that the Senate passed a resolution “with the goal of increasing the retirement savings and personal financial literacy of all people in the United States.” To help further the Senate’s cause, this week’s column is devoted to outlining the steps you need to take to get your retirement plan on track.

What are the core components of every retirement plan?

- Determine how much money you spend. Whether you use a software program (Quicken), an app (Mint. com), a spreadsheet or an oldfashioned legal pad, it’s nearly impossible to build a retirement plan without determining how much money is coming in and going out these days.

- Pay down outstanding consumer debt. This includes credit cards, auto loans, etc., but not mortgage debt.

- Establish an emergency

cash (or cash equivalent) reserve fund of 6-12 months of expenses (1-2 years if you are in, or within two years, of retirement).

- Crunch your retirement numbers. Use an online retirement calculator like EBRI’s Choose to Save Ballpark E$timate (www.choosetosave. org/ballpark/) to determine where you currently stand.

To be conservative, use 4 to 4.5 percent for an inflation assumption; a 4-6 percent rate of investment return; for life expectancy, use 95 if you are younger than 50, and use 90 if you are over 50 (for a more precise estimate, go to www. livingto100.com and use their Life Expectancy Calculator).

You can also go to the Social Security estimator at http://ssa. gov/estimator/ to review your future benefit.

With those steps completed, let’s break down the next steps by age.

Under 25: About two-thirds of those who earned bachelor’s degrees last year graduated with student loan debt, and

of those, the average amount of debt is about $26,500. With that burden, combined with a tough job market, it’s hard to help young workers focus on retirement. If you are fortunate enough to have a job, now is the time to begin the habit of saving for retirement. The goal is to contribute an amount that will allow you to qualify for your employer’s match into its retirement plan. For many, this will be 6 percent of salary.

Ages 25-40: Those college years are fading fast and now it’s time to increase retirement contributions to at least 10 percent of income. There will always be competing goals during these years, like saving for a house down payment or putting away college money for your kids, but these should occur after your own retirement contribution, or at least simultaneously, if you can afford to do so. Securing your own financial future is paramount during these years.

Ages 40-55: Hopefully, you are entering your prime earning years, which means that your

retirement contributions should be increasing to 15 percent or more. The contribution limit for 401(k) plans will increase by $500 to $17,500 next year, and if you are 50 or over, the catch-up contribution level is $5,500.

Ages 55-70: Retirement is just around the corner, so you may need to begin adjusting your asset allocation to reduce risk. The sooner you need your money, the less risk you should be taking. You may also need to consider purchasing long-termcare insurance to protect your retirement assets.

Over 70: It’s time to reap the benefits of all that hard work!

In addition to the stream of income from Social Security or pension, you will begin tapping your retirement funds.

How much can you safely withdraw from your portfolio without draining it too soon?

This is called the “withdrawal rate,” and it generally should be no more than 4 percent of your total portfolio value, not including your emergency reserve fund. Four percent

is not a hard and fast rule: If you are retiring earlier than age 65, use a 3.5 percent rate.

That means if your retirement funds total $500,000, you could safely withdraw $20,000 to supplement your other streams of income.

Once you reach age 70 1/2, IRS rules require you to withdraw at least a certain minimum amount from your Traditional IRAs and workplace retirement plans each year. This is referred to as your required minimum distribution (RMD).

You can calculate your RMD with a calculator like http:// apps.finra.or g/calcs/1/r md or you can ask your CPA or investment adviser to guide you.

Tips for retirement readiness (StatePoint) In challenging financial times, it can be difficult to pay bills today, let alone save for the future. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Lincoln Financial Group found that 72 percent of Americans say that the state of the economy is making it challenging for them to stay on track with their retirement savings.

“With everything that Americans have on their minds today, the economy can weigh heavily on retirement savings decisions,” says Chuck Cornelio, president of Retirement Plan Services at Lincoln Financial Group. “But it’s important not to take a break from saving.”

Even if you are already enrolled in your employersponsored retirement plan, like a 401(k) or 403(b), there are steps you can take to help better prepare you for retirement.

Here are five tips to help you get you started.

• Enroll in your employer sponsored retirement plan: Participating in your employer-

sponsored retirement plan reduces your taxable income today, while helping to build retirement savings for tomorrow. If you don’t know how to get started, contact your benefits administrator or human resources department to help you enroll.

• Consolidate assets: Consolidating your retirement assets into one account helps to simplify the savings and income planning process and can help your money grow over time.

Getting what you want at work Q. I notice there are two schools of thought about getting ahead at work: the altruistic (if you help others, you’ll get good things) and the aggressive (go ahead and run people over if it gets you what you want).

Neither of these approaches seem right to me. Is there any other alternative?

A. Yes, the third alternative is to recognize that the workplace is big enough for both you and the other person to win.

From the first minute you speak to a customer, coworker or boss, learn to listen to their agenda (what they want).

Sometimes you’ll hear an emotional agenda - for example, they want to be respected.

Sometimes you’ll hear a logistical agenda, such as that they want to learn a software program.

Most of us are so busy thinking about what we want or need that the needs of anyone else are relatively invisible.Any good negotiator will tell you that if you want to have influence with other people, you must

appeal to their agenda.

A f t e r listening to discover what the other party wants emotionally or logistically, you must come up with a plan on how you can help make that agenda happen. When you speak to the other person, you must start by making clear that you can see what they probably want and you can be their ally.

Ironically, the easiest part of a workplace negotiation is to tell the other party what you want. But if you skip the first two parts, where you really listen to the needs of another person and then offer a plan to help them, any need you have will fall on deaf ears.

We may have been given two ears and one mouth because having influence, power and authority in the workplace is more about deep listening than overwhelming your coworkers with a verbal onslaught.

To make matters worse, if your coworker listens to your needs first, he will probably decide you have no interest in his agenda. He’ll then make sure you don’t get what you want either.

The simple truth about workplace negotiation is that people at work are happy to see you get what you want ... but only if they are guaranteed you are also looking out for them.

You will notice in a long career that people who believe they can win through intimidation are in the end brought down by the people they stepped upon on the way up. Unfortunately, the people who think they’ll win by having no needs and taking care of everyone else just get burned out, used and bitter.

In my column and my work, I am simply a fan of what works.

I’ll throw away philosophy or theory any day in favor of results. I prefer my clients and readers to do the same with my advice.Try running over people, and see how that works. Try

Not ready to combine finances Dear Dave, I recently got engaged. Is it okay for us to go ahead and combine finances and start working on a budget before we get married?

Adam Dear Adam, No, it is not okay to combine finances with anyone to whom you’re not married.And by “okay,” I mean wise. I’m happy that you’ve found love, but all kinds of things can happen before the rings are slipped onto your fingers.

I’m not wishing bad things on you, but what if you spend time paying off her debt, or vice versa, and then the relationship doesn’t work out? Bringing finances into

that kind of situation is just asking for trouble. You do not want to go there!

Now, all this doesn’t mean that you can’t begin working together on budgets for the future and goals for your lives.

We’re talking about full disclosure to make this happen. She knows all about your income and debts, and you know about hers too.

You guys need to have some serious discussions about saving, spending and debt, and get on

the same page with your finances before the big day.

But no, my advice is that you each pay your own bills until after you’re married. Once that happens, there’s no “yours” and “mine” anymore. It all becomes “ours.”

sacrificing yourself consistently to help others. Now try hearing what others want, giving it to them, and then asking for what you want.

You’ll discover that when you leave people better than you found them, you’ll end up with a network of cheerleaders that will leave no stone unturned to see you succeed!

The last word(s) Q. I’d like to believe the most people will be nice if I’m nice to them. Do you think I’m being too idealistic?

A. Yes, most people will do

what they perceive to be in their short-term self-interest, whether you are “nice” to them or not.

RETIREMENT Continued from page 20 • Schedule a retirement plan check-up: Make it a habit to schedule an annual plan checkup just as you would your health exam.An annual meeting with a financial professional will help you stay on track of goals.

• Resist the temptation to borrow against your retirement plan: While the best plans can be impacted by unexpected events, avoid borrowing against your retirement plan savings.

When you do that, you may miss out on potential returns when the market recovers.

All the time you spend paying back the loan is time you’re not making contributions, missing out on the ability for your money to grow.

• Increase contributions with income boosts: Whenever you receive extra cash from a tax refund, a bonus, a salary increase or some other pleasant surprise, consider increasing your retirement plan contributions. Even increasing by a percentage or two can make a big difference in the long run. When you hit the maximum contribution level in your employer-sponsored retirement plan, a financial advisor can help you find the right place to invest additional savings.

Although retirement may seem far off when you are in the middle of your working years, getting on track early and saving steadily can help you fund the lifestyle you want to live in your retirement years.

When it rains, it pours.

You may encounter a sticky mechanism in your emotional metabolism early in the week. Hold off on making crucial financial decisions and avoid disputes with loved ones.

Use powers of observation. Some people see more in a walk around the block than others see in a trip around the world. Avoid making financial decisions or commitments in the first half of the week to come.

Chill out. Decisions about love and relationships can wait a little longer. There could be a temporary period early this week when you think the worst of others or they may not reveal true feelings.

Develop dynamic ideas. You might not be able to persuade others in the early half of the week.

Keep notes and start putting them into motion late in the week to demonstrate clear leadership abilities.

Waiting is wise.

Gathering helpful information in advance will make it easier to choose optimum timing. Don’t accept or make promises in the first half of the week, as they may be difficult to honor.
