Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville signs autographs during the WGN Radio, Chicago Blackhawks Food Drive at the DuPage Township Food Pantry Nov. 20 in Romeoville.

More than 1,300 families drove up to the DuPage Township Food Pantry and drove into a community ready to give back. In NASCAR-like fashion, cars lined up for the pantryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual food donation event and visited six pit stops where trunks were loaded with all the staples for a Thanksgiving dinner. In addition this year,WGN Radio performed a live broadcast from the pantry encouraging listeners

to come out and donate to keep the pantry throughout the holiday season. In return, members of the Chicago Blackhawks came out to lend their support with Blackhawks Coach Joel Quenneville dolling out autographs, and Eddie Olczyk, Blackhawks television coloranalyst and recent inductee to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame loading up trunks. Blackhawks radio coloranalyst Troy Murray also was on hand. Bolingbrook resident Steve Miller See BLACKHAWKS, page 2

BLACKHAWKS Continued from page 1 said it was a great way to help the community and meet sports favorites. “The DuPage Township has an office in Bolingbrook and I usually try to get involved somehow. And then I heard about the Blackhawks—it’s a win-win, it’s a good cause and a chance for an autograph.” It was a win as well for Quenneville, who said the opportunity was well worth the effort. “We are all here to help out,” said Quenneville.“We have a fine partnership with WGN and are happy to be able to give back to our fans and the community.” The live broadcast by Bill Leff at the food pantry, 719 Parkwood Ave., Romeoville, was part of WGN Radio Hometown Voices Tour presented by Allstate.While the drive was able to support the community, organizer Shirley Grzenia said the levels of donations have dropped over the past few years, at a time when the need is increasing.

Items can be dropped off at the Food Pantry distribution center and at DuPage Township

Valley Views sets tax levy By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Valley View District school officials will be asking for more than a 4 percent increase in the amount of property taxes they receive toward their 2013 budget. Though home values continue to depreciate, and the economy is still in flux, the school district is predicting a tax levy of under 5 percent, 4.21 percent to be exact. Property taxes account for 78 percent of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue, Assistant Superintendent Gary Grizaffi reported to the school board. He explains that by approving the tentative levy, the district will retain the ability to request the maximum aggregate extension allowable under the Tax Cap. The Tax Cap limits the property tax increase for existing property owners to the Consumer Price Index or

5 percent, whichever is less. In the case of the 2012 levy request, that increase will be capped at 3 percent exclusive of existing debt service. The extension request is higher than what the actual extension will be due to the fact the equalized assessed valuation and new property values are unknown at this time. By requesting the higher extension, the school board will reserve the right to adjust the levy in the future until as late as April 1, 2013. It also will allow the levy to be more accurate due to the actual EAV and new property values being finalized. The tax levy is used to determine the tax rate for property owners in each of the cities, towns, or villages that make up a school district. The tax paid by each property owner equals the assessed value (1/3 the market value) less any deductions (such as

homeowners exemption, senior exemption, etc.) times the tax rate (per $100 of assessed value). School districts are left to rely on growth in EAV to meet their budgetary needs and use the EAV to determine the tax levy and bases the 2012 projections from the Will County Supervisor of Assessments, as well as assessors in DuPage and Lockport townships. District statistics show the EAV in Valley View has declined approximately 7.5 percent, or $190 million, marking a steady decline over the past several years. However, they said there is $7 million estimated in new growth. Grizaffi said because the EAV and percentage growth in new construction are estimated, it is impossible to say with certainty what tax rate will be generated. The final levy is expected to be adopted Dec. 10.

Schools

Valley View earns national award Valley View School District 365U is among fewer than two dozen school districts in Illinois and just over 500 school districts across the continent who today were named to the College Board Advanced Placement Honor Roll which recognizes school districts for

“opening AP classroom doors to a significantly broader pool of students.” VVSD was also one of only two such honored school districts in Illinois with an enrollment consisting of at least 30 percent African American, Hispanic and American Indian

students. “We applaud the extraordinary efforts of your devoted teachers and administrators,” said David Coleman, president of the College Board. “You have not only expanded student access to AP course work, but have also enabled more students

to achieve on a college level, which is helping to create a strong college-going culture.” “Your dedication to providing rigorous coursework to a growing population of students is commendable,” added Jennifer McDonnell, Senior Director, K-12 Services for The College Board’s Midwestern Regional Office. “Improvement in Advanced Placement results takes a sustained effort.” Qualification for the District Honor Roll is based on examination of AP data from May 2010, 2011 and 2012 data for all students who took AP examinations each of those years. Among the requirements: An increase in participation in/access to AP by at least 4 percent in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at least 11 percent in small districts A steady or increasing percentage of exams taken by African American, Hispanic/ Latino and American Indian/ Alaska Native students; and Improvement of performance levels when comparing the percentage of students in 2012 scoring a 3 or higher (the number necessary for college credit) to those in 2010. Thanks to an increase not only in the number of Advanced Placement courses offered but also in the efforts of both teachers and administrators, both Bolingbrook High School and Romeoville High School have shown significant gains in

the numbers of students taking the exams as well as in the numbers of students scoring 3 or higher (out of 5) on the exams. Five years ago 132 BHS students took 227 exams with 95 scoring 3 or better. Last year 198 students took 336 exams with 140 of them scoring 3 or higher. At RHS, which has a smaller student population, 43 students took 61 exams with 26 scoring 3 or better in 2008. Last year those numbers grew to 103 students taking 155 exams with 80 of them scoring 3 or better. VVSD Advanced Placement teachers include Dr. Mike Moro, Steve Stefanski, Chuck Niebling, Dan Rush, Adam Hill, Rick Dellamorte, Rachel Dieter, Tina Paulus, Adam Rio and Christi Veale at Romeoville High School as well as Brian Castiglia, Amy Kearnes, Anthony Clark, Amber Jirsa, Danielle Speciale, Leticia Wallace, Heather Colombatto, Irene Jang, Barbara Sterner, Jason Nikowitz, Nanette Davies, Stacey O’Connell, Todd Rio, John Flynn, Kwynn Olson, Larry Fisher, Steven Hughes, and Matthew Jones at Bolingbrook High School. “I congratulate your district – students, educators, families, community – on all the hard work and commitment put into opening access and having high expectations for performance in AP courses and exams,” McDonnell said.

Lewis receives $65K grant for rain collection Lewis University has received a $65,000 grant for a rainwater collection system through a grants program sponsored by Hanson Material Service, Midwest Generation and ComEd. The collection system gathers water and stores it in a 200,000-gallon tank previously provided by the Romeoville municipal water system. The project is expected to be completed by spring 2013. The collected rainwater will be used for campus irrigation or cooling towers. The new rainwater collection system will preserve natural water systems since it will reduce Lewis’ use of a well for irrigation purposes.The system will also reduce the use of salt for softening water used for the cooling towers since the collected rainwater doesn’t need to be softened. The project is expected to reduce dependence on

the aquifer and preserve it for the natural habitat in the Romeoville area. The aquifer serves the nearby Lockport Prairie Nature Preserve, which is one of the few remaining habitats for the endangered Hine’s emerald dragonfly and other rare plant and insect species. Hanson Material Service, Midwest Generation and ComEd have been working with state and federal agencies to develop a conservation plan for the endangered Hine’s emerald dragonfly.The partners initiated the grant program, with funds received from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, to support additional projects that further the preservation of the endangered species and its habitat. The Hine’s emerald dragonfly is highly dependent upon groundwater, so Lewis University’s efforts with this project are instrumental to protecting its habitat.

H o ro s c o p e s Pace yourself. There’s nothing you can do today that you can’t do tomorrow. Take advantage of a day off by recharging your batteries for the coming week. Good manners are contagious so be on your best behavior.

If you’re afraid of rotten apples, don’t go to the barrel, pick them from the tree. Sticking to the same antiquated routines may simply result in repeating past mistakes. Try to come up with fresh and original ideas this week.

All work and no play isn’t much fun. Explore your inner child using imagination and taking flights of fancy. Focus on activities you enjoy rather than work. Important decisions should be postponed until later this week.

Don’t take it personally. If you read between the lines and search for insults, you’re likely to find them. Take the chip off your shoulder and try to make the best of every situation in the week ahead.

Don’t be your own worst critic. You shouldn’t torture yourself over shortcomings when you possess so many strengths. Do what you do best in the week ahead instead of trying to do what you can’t.

Every rose has thorns. Don’t let appearances fool you, just because everything appears rosy on the surface doesn’t mean that there aren’t unforeseen pitfalls lurking around the corner. Remain on guard this week.

Go ahead, make your day. Resolve to be selfish by doing whatever brings you the most enjoyment in the week to come. Your time is usually rationed by your schedule, but you can create your own time slots.

Expect the unexpected. Leave a bit of wiggle room in your schedule to account for unforeseen surprises in the week ahead. It would be to your benefit to make a point of finishing whatever you begin.

Take a break. Spend some time away from that big project you’ve been working on and you’ll be amazed at the fresh perspective you receive. Save decisionmaking until later in the week.

Beware the green-eyed monster. Don’t envy another’s success, especially when their gain benefits you as well. Allow everyone time in the limelight and wish them well this week. Your turn will come soon.

Make your choice count. Don’t just flip a coin when faced with a crucial decision. Take the time to do your homework and figure out which option is best. Business will be the top priority this week.

Fog clouds the path ahead this week. There are many variables that are obscured regarding a new endeavor. It may be better to wait until events unfold and you have more facts, before starting anything new.

Romeoville defends tournament title By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Romeoville was able to defend its own Thanksgiving Tournament title with an impressive four-game performance. The Spartans (4-0) won all four games by double digits. “It definitely means a lot (to win our own tournament),” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “For many years we couldn’t win a game in this tournament. It’s nice to win the tournament back-to-back years and play well.” “We wanted to do what we did last year and take it back and win it again,” Romeoville senior Brianna Harris said. “We believed in each other and thought we could win it and we did.” Romeoville finished the tournament Nov. 19 with a 6744 win over Lockport. It led 4214 at the half and was able to get its bench involved throughout the game. “I told the girls that this would be a big test for us because we didn’t play great the first three games,” Carrasco said. “Defensively we’ve only allowed 30 points to the first three teams, but offensively we’ve been up

and down. Today the girls came out in the first half and took it to them. Lockport changed things up in the second half and frustrated us a little bit, but we managed to get the win.” “It feels really great,” Romeoville senior Kiera Currie said. “Our leaders on the court have done a good job and we have proven that we do have a bench.” Currie led the way with 15 points. Harris was right behind with 14 points, while Angelica Osusky tallied 11 and Abby Smith had 10. The Spartans saw a bunch of zone throughout the tournament, but did a good job of moving the ball around and getting good looks. “We’ve been working on (zone offense),” Carrasco stated. “We knew teams would be collapsing on Kiera. We’ve seen that the whole time. We wanted to make the offense wider and give us some angles to cut. We started attacking the baseline.” “We want to move the ball as quickly as possible,” Harris said. “We wanted to get some open shots and do what we have to do to score.” “We’ve been practicing more See TITLE, page 14

Sports TITLE Continued from page 13 of an inside-outside game,” Currie said. “Especially with working with zones a lot, we can get into the middle.” Romeoville opened the tournament with a 57-30 win over Joliet Central as Harris scored 11 points, while Currie (11), Smith (11) and Osusky (10) also scored in double figures. The Spartans also defeated Lemont 41-28 (Currie 19 points) and Guilford 61-32 (Currie 13, Osusky, Smith, Harris 12 points each). The success in the tournament should help them for the conference season as they hope to defend their Southwest Prairie Conference title in an improved conference. “It really prepares us for conference,” Currie said. “It lets

us see what we have and we know we have a strong bench. We should be really strong this year and hope to have another good season in conference. We know our flaws and what we need to work on for conference.” “It gives us a lot of confidence,” Harris added. “A lot of us listed on our goals to win this tournament. I’m pretty sure that this boosts our confidence a lot. We need to improve on our defense and our passing. We made a lot of sloppy passes.”

Spartans end tournament with a win By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Heading into the final game of the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic Nov. 24 in the seventh-place contest against Joliet Catholic Academy, Romeoville coach Jeff Bambule had worries facing the winless Hillmen. “Playing with no practice and going up against (JCA) coach (Joe) Gura’s match-up zone, I was really worried about that,” Bambule said.“We were fortunate to know some shots down. Rashad Steele came off the bench and hit some shots to get them out of that matchup zone. Steele hit all three of his shots, two from behind the three-point arc, to give the Spartans the 59-42 win, their first of the year.The loss kept JCA winless. “It was a good first victory,” said senior Jimmy Moon.“It was good to get the win as a team.We played good defensively all tournament, but today we shot the ball well. Once we started making shots, it helped us run the offense.”

Moon led all scorers with 15 points on 5 of 11 shooting. He connected on three of his seven attempts from three. James Boyd added nine points for Romeoville, while Christian Diaz, Jaylon Richardson and Anthony Love all contributed six. “It was a group effort,” Bambule said. “Moon is our number one threat offensively at this point, but all the guys are showing us stuff. We learned a lot here. We faced some different styles, we got to see some things and we got to play everybody.” Bambule was happy with the competition the Spartans got to see in the tournament. “Providence, Lockport and Minooka are good teams,” he said. “JCA, they play some young players, but coach does a nice job with them.” Romeoville did see pressure defense and averaged nearly 15 turnovers per game, something they have to work on. “We learned a lot here,” Moon said.“We learned we have to work on our ball handling and handling

the pressure.” Moon paced the Spartans in scoring the entire tournament, averaging 9.25 points per game, but he is happy to see his teammates coming on early in the year. “It helps that more people are contributing overall so if I am not scoring, other guys are able to step up,” he said. “I am trying to be a leader and show the guys that we can do some things this year.” Earlier in the tournament, Romeoville got scoring from different places, as it lost 53-32 to Providence behind eight points from Mitch LaFond, fell 52-36 to Minooka with Diaz leading the way with seven points and 49-34 to Lockport with Moon pouring in 18 points. “These kids are good kids and they work hard,” Bambule said. “We struggled this week at times with pressure. It shows what we have to work on, but the attitude and effort is there, so we will be OK.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Alviti throws, runs to the top By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

“Matt Al-vi-ti … Matt Al-vi-ti.” This chant from the Maine South student section could be heard at regular intervals not only at every home game during Matt Alviti’s stellar senior season, but throughout the brilliant three-year career of the Hawks’ quarterback. “You hear them, and it’s awesome to know that the whole school is behind you,” said Alviti, the Voyager Media 2012 Football Player of the Year. “It’s a great honor,” said Alviti regarding being named Player of the Year. “I had a great career at Maine South playing in a great system. The coaches put me in a great situation and I had great teammates. I can’t get this award without my teammates as well as the coaching staff.” Alviti threw for 2,740 yards this season—completing 68 percent of his attempts—with 28 touchdown passes and only five interceptions. He also was a threat on the ground, rushing for 843 yards and 19 touchdowns. Alviti’s versatility will fit him well as he takes his talents next fall to Northwestern University, a great place for multidimensional quarterbacks. “I think the sky’s the limit for him (at Northwestern) with the offense they run,” said Maine South head coach David Inserra. “They do an incredible job of pulling the best out of the quarterbacks they have. He has the arm strength, the athletic ability and the toughness to play that position.” “I think I’ll be able to succeed well in their offensive system,” Alviti added. “That’s one of the big reasons I picked Northwestern.” Alviti took over as the starting QB his sophomore year and helped guide Maine South to the Class 8A state championship— winning 12 consecutive contests after the team had lost its first two games of the year. The Hawks then rattled off another 10 in a row during Alviti’s junior season in 2011 before falling in the second round of the playoffs (10-1 overall). This season, the Hawks (11-1) won 11 straight and advanced to the quarterfinals. All told, Maine South

compiled a 33-4 record with Alviti under center. But Alviti’s career numbers are even more noteworthy. He finishes with 9,746 total yards, ranking him fourth unofficially in IHSA history. He’s also fifth all-time in passing yardage (7,788) and passes completed (538), and is tied for ninth with 78 career TD passes. “What he’s done just in sheer numbers is phenomenal,” Inserra said. “Leading the team to the state championship as a sophomore, he was definitely the leader of that team. He did everything he could to duplicate that feat his junior and senior years.” The rest of the members of the Voyager Media All-Area Football Team are:

A.J. APIQUIAN S e n i o r linebacker from Plainfield Central led the team with 65 tackles, 11.5 for loss, with two sacks. “Excellent reader, great blitzer and our leading tackler,” Central coach John Jackson said. “He is very versatile and was a free safety last year. He was an impact player and our defensive leader.”

AARON BAILEY Despite missing nearly five games with injury, the University of Illinois-bound Bolingbrook quarterback posted 1,091 yards of total offense and 16 total touchdowns. The 2011 Voyager Media Player of the year, his coach John Ivlow calls Bailey “The best player in state.”

CALEB BAILEY Bailey, a linebacker for Romeoville, led the team with 104 tackles and also spent some time on offense, gaining 288 yards with three scores on just 42 carries. “Caleb Bailey is one of the best

football players I have had the pleasure of coaching,” Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna said. “Caleb has been our Defensive MVP the last two years and has set almost every defensive

statistical record in our program. He has a great combination of speed, strength and athleticism which has made his a very versatile defensive player, from playing the run, to pressuring the quarterback or dropping into coverage. Caleb has played great for us over the last two seasons, but I still believe he is learning the game and his best

football is yet to be played.”

NICK BARGIONE Chris James was quick to give credit to the Notre Dame’s offensive line throughout the season for his success, and Bargione was one of those See ALL-AREA, page 17

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 16 linemen who helped spring James for long gains. Bargione started the 2011 season at tackle before moving to guard this year. He also saw plenty of action in the defensive line in 2012. “You always need someone on the offensive line to captain things, take charge and direct traffic, and Nick kind of did that,” said Notre Dame coach Mike Hennessey. “With Chris’ stats, you have to have guys up front that are doing a tremendous job. All five guys did a tremendous job for us.”

JACK BENEVENTI Sophomore quarterback burst onto the scene this season, completing 181 of 303 passes for 2,318 yards and 20 TDs.After only one season, he is 700 yards and four TDs shy of the school record.

“As a sophomore he stepped up and had some spectacular games for us,” said Benet coach Pat New.“He is only going to get better the next two years.”

HERB BETANCOURT Betancourt was one of the Notre Dame’s leaders on defense. His prowess for making big plays helped lift Notre Dame to the Class 6A quarterfinals this season—the Dons’ best postseason finish since 1997. “He took and ownership and leadership on the defensive end,” said Hennessy. “He’s an excellent athlete, and has very good overall speed. Because of that, we were able to put him in a lot of different situations to make him effective, and therefore, make our defense effective.”

J. B. BUTLER No matter who was in the backfield this season, JCA moved the ball on the ground to the

tune of 3,682 yards, a lot of them coming behind Butler. He also posted 20 tackles as a part-time defensive lineman. “To be a two-year starter already by the end of your junior year on our offensive line at left tackle says a lot about his abilities,” said JCA coach Dan Sharp. “He has great feet and great athleticism, and we can also use him as a pulling guard. He has a first-class motor, always making that push forward, and he did a great job blocking field goals and extra points. “When we needed help and physicality in the interior of our defensive line, we knew who to turn to.”

VONTAE DIGGS Downers North junior had 56 tackles, 16 for losses and six sacks. “He will be a Division-I

THE BUGLE NOVEMBER 29, 2012 prospect if he put some meat on for next year,” North coach John Wander said. “He has big play potential every snap he is in the game.”

BRYCE DOUGLAS A powerful defensive tackle, the Illinois recruit was a threeyear starter and was the defensive MVP in the Southwest Prairie Conference for Plainfield Central. Douglas tallied 48 tackles, 12 for a loss, with 3.5 sacks, one interception and a forced fumble. “He is the strongest Player I’ve ever coached,” Jackson said. “His value is in the fact that he demanded double teams from opponent’s offenses yet he still dominated games despite it.”

JORDAN ELLINGWOOD The senior finished his career as the second leading career rusher in Plainfield Central history. This year he tallied 1,066 yards

rushing and 12 touchdowns. “He is one of the toughest (If not the toughest) football player I’ve ever coached and one of the best football players I’ve ever coached,” Jackson said.

JACK EURITT Senior broke the school’s record for receptions in a season, catching 55 passes for 850 yards and 10 touchdowns. “He is a terrific athlete and set the school record for receptions,” New said. “He made some huge plays for us this year.”

BRETT FOX The three-year starter for Plainfield North spent time on both sides of the ball at linebacker and tight end. He had 94 tackles See ALL-AREA, page 18

THE BUGLE NOVEMBER 29, 2012

ALL-AREA Continued from page 17 on defense with 2.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries, and had six catches for 92 yards and three touchdowns. “Brett is a tough, physical two-way player for us,” North coach Tim Kane said. “How he played the game on both sides of the ball raised everyone else’s level as well due to his tenacity and intensity.”

CLIFTON GARRETT The Plainfield South junior linebacker totaled 107 tackles on the season, 10.5 for a loss, and a fumble return for a touchdown. He also contributed four touchdowns on offense. He is being recruited by several top college football programs across the country. “He is an outstanding competitor, and has outstanding talent,” South coach Ken Bublitz said. “Clifton demonstrates tremendous closing speed and impressive finishes on tackles. He was able to get involved in the offense as the season continued demonstrating excellent hands as a receiver, toughness as a runner and aggressiveness as a blocker.”

TY ISAAC In a school that has produced great high school running backs, the USC-bound Isaac passed them all, posting 5,315 yards in his JCA career. Despite battling nagging injuries from the first game of the season this year, Isaac still rushed for 1,500 yards and 22 touchdowns. “I told him after our last game, ‘I never saw anyone run the ball better in a brown jersey than you,’ ” Sharp said. “We finally get Ty healthy and the season is over. He had an amazing career year here, playing in two state championship games and being

our all-time leading rusher, but I what will remember the most is how well he handled all the attention, all the accolades, with such humility and class. And I know USC can’t wait to get him on their campus.”

ZACK JACKOVICH The junior defensive back posted 66 tackles this season and was third on the team with 35 solo tackles. A Johnny-on-thespot player most of the season, Jackovich posted a team-best seven interceptions. “When Grant Harrison went down with an injury before the season opener against Providence, Zach stepped into that hole at free safety and made his mark on our secondary,”Sharp said. “When we were struggling to come up with turnovers at the start of the year, Zach would intercept a pass, or even two, and that’s something every defense is looking for - that timely turnover. And he can only get better for next season.”

CHRIS JAMES James, who led Notre Dame in rushing as a sophomore, took his game to the next level, and then some, during his junior season. James’ combination of power, quickness and speed enabled him to pile up 2,089 yards and 29 touchdowns on the ground, while adding 252 yards and three scores receiving. “Chris did a great job getting himself prepared for this season, getting bigger, faster, stronger, adapting and maturing,” said Hennessey. “He had a better sense and better vision for holes, and better anticipation.”

BLAKE KING T h e Northwesternb o u n d offensive lineman, King was the catalyst for everything Minooka did offensively this season, being able to block for the run or pass.

Joliet West wins own tourney By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Heading into the 2012 season, Joliet West and Bolingbrook were already picked to be at or near the top of the class in the SouthWest Suburban Conference. After their battle Nov. 24 in the title game of the, that was only solidified. West won the game 63-56 in their first time in the title game of its own invite. West rode the hot hand of senior guard Morris Dunnigan, who tallied 13 of his game-high 31 points in the fourth quarter, en route to being tabbed MVP of the tournament. “Morris Dunnigan is a great high school basketball player,’’ said Joliet West coach Luke Yaklich.“He has worked so hard to come back from the ACL injury his sophomore year and finally, he’s back to 100 percent. I am super proud of Morris. He put us on his back and led us to the win. When he plays well, we are always going to play well, that is just the pressure of being the best player.” “This means a whole lot,” Dunnigan said of the win. “We have never had a chance to play in this first place game, so it is important. We came to play. We have players that have been on varsity for three and four years, so we have experience this year.” The game was a battle from the beginning, as the teams were tied 15-15 after the opening quarter and were knotted at 2828 at halftime. West held a slim 41-40 after three quarters before pulling ahead late. “This tournament was won in the first two weeks of our practice,”Yaklich said.“There is a reason we put the guys through so much early on.” Senior Carl Tyrell added 17 points for West, although he was not at full strength. “Carl Tyrell had the flu tonight and he was out there playing at 70 percent,”Yaklich said. Bolingbrook (3-1) was led

by All-Tournament selectees Kendall Guyton, who posted 20 points and Ben Moore (16). “This is only one battle of three against Bolingbrook,’’ Yaklich said. “They have a great team, Rob does a great job with them. I think out seniors played well and their guys just didn’t have it. It’s going to be a different game the next two. This is a precursor to two more great games.” What the win did give West is

confidence. “It means a lot that we already played one of the top teams in our conference,” Dunnigan said. To get to the final game, Joliet West defeated Thornridge 68-49 behind 19 points from Dunnigan. West also defeated Plainfield South 78-49. Dunnigan led the way with 19 points,while Brandon McCullum added 15. McCullum was also named to the All-Tournament

He was defensive player of the year last year and is well on his way this year. He is the most mentally and physically tough kid I have ever coached. He is a fighter and it takes a lot to bring him down.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Travel

Taking Europe slow, with limited mobility Let’s face it: Compared to the United States, Europe is not very accessible to those with limited mobility. In fact, many of my favorite sights - castles and hill towns - were actually designed to be inaccessible. But I’m inspired by the fact that wherever I go in Europe I see people with limited mobility having a wonderful time on the streets, in the museums, in the restaurants, and on the trains. If you have mobility concerns, consider your own situation thoughtfully when choosing which attractions to visit, where to sleep and eat, and what to avoid. Here are some tips to make Europe more accessible: Packing light is especially important. To lighten your load, take fewer clothing items and do laundry more often. Fit it all in a wheeled carry-on bag (9-by22-by-14 inches). If you do bring a second bag, make it a small one that stacks neatly (or even attaches) on top of your wheeled bag. Bring a friend. It’s good to have helping hands along if you need a quick lift up a curb or if you have trouble handling your luggage. In 30 years as a tour guide, I learned that if people who didn’t walk well brought along a supportive partner, their trip went remarkably well. Think about the pros and cons of where you sleep: Rather than stay near the station, you can taxi from the station directly to your hotel and be in the center of the action. Rather than opt for a characteristic bed and breakfast place, take the modern, businessclass hotel with up-to-date rooms, larger bathrooms and elevators,

and facilities designed with easy access in mind. Many q u a i n t e r places will brag they have an elevator, but because of the nature of their building, you’ll still climb many steps to get from the street to your room. Some cities have some fully accessible buses and subway routes. London’s system is the best in this regard, while Paris disappoints. While subway systems can be efficient, public buses can save you lots of hiking with fewer stairs. With a transit pass (most cities sell day passes and multi-day passes), you can hop on a bus just to get down the street without worrying about the chore and expense of buying an individual ticket. If you simply can’t walk long distances, taxis are essential. Any hotel or restaurant can call one to pick you up. With a cellphone and the local number, you can call one from anywhere. And in many cities, it’s easy to hail a taxi on the street. Museums take care of people with limited mobility. People in wheelchairs can skip the line. If you find you need a wheelchair during your visit, larger museums often have them available. And if the museum lacks a public elevator, they may have a service elevator you can use. Many of the most popular sights come with exhaustingly long lines that are easy to avoid if you make a reservation (good guidebooks explain how) or if you hire a

Some European cities are head of the pack when it comes to travelers with limited mobility. Austria’s Salzburg won the European Union’s 2012 Access City Award for its municipal improvements.

private guide (who generally gets to go to the front). Take full advantage of tours. Every town with tourism has a variety of tours that show you the sights from a comfortable seat. Orientation bus tours give you a 90-minute once over lightly. Longer tours usually do the orientation route with a visit to a couple of major sights (which involves some minimal walking). Hop-on, hop-off bus tours vie for your business in nearly every city. They make a circuit lacing the city’s top sights together and give you a ticket good for a day’s worth of hopping on and off, with buses coming by several times an hour. Nearly any company offering

city tours will offer day trips out from a city, providing an easy way to see blockbuster sights on a joyride through the countryside. Every port city has a harbor cruise that gives visitors a relaxing and delightful angle on that town. Cruise ships offer an array of on-shore excursions that generally include an option for those who don’t walk well. Know your limits. You can opt out of that monastery on the hilltop and simply enjoy it from a cafe on the bank of the river below. And, if you’re a good traveler, that cafe time can come with a memorable conversation with locals and an adventure in literally eating and drinking in the culture.

With the right approach and attitude, you’ll find that because you move more slowly, you’ll see a side of Europe that you may have missed on earlier trips. Consider yourself in the vanguard of the “slow travel” movement. It’s a new world out there, and anyone with a sense of adventure can take advantage of all that Europe has to offer.

Real Estate & Business

Avoid the ‘fight to be right’ to get results Q. I’m an avid reader of this column and am puzzled by why you so often recommend telling coworkers they are right in an argument. I think the truth is important. I always speak my mind. Do I have to pick between making my point and being effective at work? A. Yes, being right and being effective are mutually exclusive choices. When you fight to be right, you guarantee the other person is now at risk of being wrong. Most normal people will then engage in a power struggle with you that will not end in you getting what you want. Clients are always telling me how enlightening it is to find out they are not the only person on the planet who is emotionally insecure at times. Many people don’t realize that everyone in their workplace is walking around wanting to avoid ever

feeling they are inadequate or bad. W e accidentally trigger these fears in our coworkers when we insist on being right. Unfortunately, most of your coworkers identify being right with being good and adequate. Thus, they will fight to the death to be right. If you understand this dynamic, you will become a black belt at workplace politics. You will probably be the only one in your workplace who can emotionally afford to be wrong ... and then get what you want. Most people around you will actually give away what they originally wanted if you will just let them be right. I’ve had executive coaching

clients who have spent years arguing with me about why it is necessary for them to be right. Then one day, they allow the other person to be right and quickly get what they want. Realize there is a long, long checkout line at work of people who will do just about anything to be right. Consider whether you’d rather be in an area with no line with people who can tolerate being wrong and effective. An excellent phrase to practice when a coworker wants to make you wrong is,“You may be right.” You’ll then be able to return to negotiating the outcome you desire because you allowed your coworker to win the power struggle for self-esteem. If you find it nearly impossible to let coworkers win right/wrong arguments, ask yourself what you hope to gain by winning? Anytime you get to be right,

you’ll still face the insecurity of being wrong in the future. Ask yourself what your long-term benefit is by winning one selfesteem power struggle. Now ask yourself what your long-term gain is when you let others be right and consistently get the result you prefer? Who do you figure has the most power and influence at work, the person who is right or the person who gets results? Yes, you’ll have to give up the emotional dessert of immediate satisfaction when you win an argument. However, as time goes by and you accumulate result over result, being right might seem much less delicious.

The last word(s) Q. I have a job I love and I am paid well. I listen to friends who complain about their jobs. Is it cheating to be making good

money to be paid to do what you enjoy? A. No, we do our best work at an activity that feels like adult play. Enjoying our work puts us in a state of creativity and passion for excellence - and that is exactly what others want to pay us for!

Letting them in on financial secrets Dear Dave, I’m in a very fortunate position when it comes to my finances. I’m 25, and I make $50,000 a year. I’m also completely debt-free. In your opinion, when is it appropriate to let someone you’re dating know about your financial situation? Anonymous Dear Anonymous, Wow, you are in a great position for someone so young. I’m not sure how you got there, but it certainly wasn’t by being dumb or immature. I think it’s only natural in a dating situation to reveal more about oneself as time passes and the relationship gets deeper and more serious. In my mind, people who start throwing around financial information on a first

date are either extremely superficial or just plain weird. But after you’ve been dating a while, and definitely before you’re engaged, you should know everything about the other person.There should be complete disclosure. That’s called intimacy. There’s no room for skeletons in the closet when it comes to a healthy relationship. Just take your time and make sure you’re both committed to being open and honest about things. Then, as the relationship progresses, the depth of intimacy

and the depth of information will progress in all areas of your lives. —Dave

What’s the worst that can happen? Dear Dave, My wife and I want to do a livein/flip real estate purchase. The idea is to buy a fixer-upper and rent out the basement to help with the mortgage payments. What do you think about the idea? Brian Dear Brian, I love real estate. I’ve flipped a few houses too. But the particulars of the deal make me a little nervous. In a situation like this you need

to do a basic business analysis. You’ve got to have a plan and figure out the worst case scenario. Part of this is determining whether or not you can survive if things fall apart. In this case, the worst case is that you can’t get a renter and the house doesn’t sell. It puts your family in jeopardy if this happens, so to me it’s not an option. Honestly, I think you’ve got house fever right now. The possibility I just mentioned isn’t a rare occurrence. Lots of people have had the same idea, with the best of intentions, and still end up in a big mess. But if you and your wife are willing to accept the possibility of things not working out like you planned—and the fact that you might have to take additional jobs for an unknown period of time just to make ends

meet—then it might be a play. Me? I don’t like putting myself into skinof-my-teeth positions intentionally. When I wore a younger man’s clothes, I was willing to do stuff and ignore the risk involved.Going broke years ago knocked that out of me in a hurry.Any deal that runs the risk of leaving you bankrupt, or the victim of a foreclosure, just isn’t worth it! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.
