East Side concept plan awaits approval By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The concept plan for Romeoville’s historical east side paints a picture of a mixed-used development centered around a new Metra station, but the timing of its actual development is tied to the economy. The village was recently awarded a 2011 Community Planning Grant from the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA). The grant is being used to help spur development and redevelopment around the Metra station and east side of the village, and the Romeoville Eastside and Downtown Plan was created to help guide and shape this development in the years to come.

According to the summary of the plan written by Teska and Associates Inc., an analysis indicates that development of the East Side has major fiscal constraints. In part, the summary states, “the economy and real estate market will be influential factors in determining which redevelopment concepts will be feasible and which may not even bear out in the marketplace. Current constraints to extend municipal infrastructure to the East Side will also tend to delay redevelopment due to the costs needed to provide new infrastructure.” Nevertheless, redevelopment takes planning and through the help of the grant, the village will be looking to approve a concept plan for the future.

A report on the plans states, “The potential inability of the preferred concept to materialize in the near term should not be viewed as an erroneous forecast for the East Side; rather, it underscores the evolving nature of the current economy and presents an opportunity for the village to continually assess how the evolution of the East Side will keep pace with the changing economy while still working towards the community’s goals.” The plan is said to be drafted with enough flexibility to enable the village to entertain other development scenarios as time and the economy will dictate. The preferred alternative concept plan envisions the most intensive uses closest to the future Metra station and generally

along 135th Street towards Smith Road including retail businesses and employment-generating uses, such as offices and business parks, and potential for a vocational school as part of the office/business park concept. Residential types will vary depending on the nature of the land and environment, and can include condominiums, duplexes, and townhouses. A prominent feature of the preferred alternative concept plan, according to Teska, is maintaining a portion of Big Run Golf Club as a nine-hole course along 135th Street, with the remaining nine holes redeveloping as townhouses and single family residential units, taking advantage of the landscaping of the area.

In addition to a portion of Big Run Golf Club, other existing land uses would be maintained, including Bambrick Park and the small residential section along Hidden Ridge Lane. Other than the planned Metra station, the area west of the CN Railroad would remain intact, including the preservation of the designated conservation area for the Hine’s emerald dragonfly. A network of existing and proposed trails is also featured on the concept plan, to connect the East Side with the village’s downtown area and other parts of the village. The plan will go before the village board for approval in late March or early April. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Three arrests made in Nov. 6 residential shooting By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Romeoville Police arrested three individuals involved with the November shooting on the 300 block of McKool that left an innocent woman injured. According to Assistant Chief Steve Lucchesi, after investigation, police learned that three known gang members

were involved with the Nov. 6 shooting, which was determined to have occurred as retaliation after an earlier dispute between gang members at a local bar. Albert Cotto Sr.,38,of Riverside, Angel Rivera, 39, and AnnMarie Rosado, 39, both of Romeoville were arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm and two counts of aggravated discharge of a

firearm. Initial reports indicated that at 1:34 a.m. on Nov. 6, police responded to a call that shots were fired in the 300 block of McKool Ave. in the middle of a residential neighborhood near Irene King Elementary School. Two men were walking on the sidewalk when the offenders fired shots in their direction. One bullet struck a 29-year-old

McAsey hosting program to protect children To help parents better assist law enforcement in the event of a lost child, State Rep. Emily McAsey is partnering with the Illinois Masonic Fraternity for an Illinois Child Identification Program (IL CHIP).This free event will be held on Saturday, March 10th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Romeoville Recreation Center, 900 W. Romeo Road, Romeoville. “Far too often we see reports about missing children in the news,” McAsey said. “As a state representative, one of my top

priorities is protecting our most vulnerable, which includes the children of our community. Though I hope there is never a need to use it, having your child’s identifying information compiled and easily accessible is indispensable to police in their investigation.” At the event, parents will be provided with a child protection kit, including a DNA sample, fingerprints of the child, and a CD containing a color photo and recorded interview.This program,

the most comprehensive of its kind, is offered free to parents. “As a state legislator and former criminal prosecutor, I have worked to make our neighborhoods a safer place to live,” McAsey said. “IL CHIP will provide tools to help families in our community better protect their children and improve public safety.” For more information, contact Rep. McAsey’s full-time constituent service office at (815) 372-0085.

A third bullet was found to have penetrated another house on this block, however no one was injured at that location. Cotto Sr. and Rivera are being held on a $1 million bond and

Rosado is being held a $500,000 bond. Lucchesi said the case is still under investigation and that police suspect that a fourth individual was involved as well. Police are encouraging residents with any information to call the police department at 815-8867219. katauskas@buglenewspapers..com

Joliet Library opens new digital media studio Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

The world of communication is going digital. From MP3 files to social media, YouTube to online anime, connecting to the rest of the world is just a few clicks away…so long as you have the right software and equipment. But for many small businesses and individuals, expensive digital equipment and software is out of reach. But no longer, as the Joliet Public Library has the answer. At its main location on Ottawa Street, library patrons can reserve time in the facility’s newest addition, a digital media studio. Featuring such state-of-the-art technology as Adobe Creative Suite and Anime Studio Debut 4 software, Wacom Bamboo Tablets, condenser microphones, cameras, projectors, and even a green wall for advanced video production, this small-space studio can solve some big creative dilemmas for anyone on a budget. Anyone can reserve space at the studio, not just library card holders. That means entrepreneurs, non-profits, students 14 and older, artists, musicians and aspiring politicians can all take advantage of the studio’s offerings, with no more

than a photo ID and a good idea. “We wanted to provide technology training and enhance skills in technology and social media,” said Library Marketing Director Kim Niedermyer.“There is a growing need for these skills, and a lot of people don’t have the money.” Technology Librarian Mary Golden said the placement of digital studios in libraries is rare, but growing, adding that

facilities in Skokie, Barrington, and Chicago all offer studios that are similar. Fountaindale Library is devoting an entire floor of its new building to the concept. When people cut back, their internet service is often the first to go, she added. Cutbacks in schools often affect the libraries and media centers first. “We have had people come in and ask for software access to

the more expensive products,” she said. “We are in the early stages of what I believe is a trend in many libraries.” The $45,000 Digital Media Studio was made possible through a host of grants and donations, and has been in the works at the library for several years. “Equipment has been collected over the past couple of years, since about 2010,” Golden

said, adding that staff members “walked every inch of the library to find the perfect space,” for the studio to be built. And as excited as they are about the studio, they haven’t stopped seeking equipment and software. “Oh, there’s always a wish list,” quipped Golden. Golden’s wish list includes more Apple/ Mac hardware, higher-end video production software, and at least one more Adobe Suite of products for installation. Niedermyer said they are hoping small businesses will come in, and are building awareness of the studio through visits to chambers, non-profit organizations and schools. More than 80 members of the community showed up to check it out during an open house recently, and already, patrons have started to reserve space. “You can think of it this way,” Golden said.“if you’ve paid taxes to the library, you’ve paid for this. It belongs to you, so come in and use it to your advantage.” Use of the studio must be reserved in advance, and charges apply for printed materials.

Show support on St. Patrick’s Day for ALS sufferers Judy Wallin had lived in the Beverly Community most of her 65 years before they moved out of the city. By today’s mortality tables, she should have another 20 years to enjoy retirement with her husband of 31 years, Gordon. Sadly, her life is being cut short by a rare disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a motor neuron disease. Most know it as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. It’s related to muscular dystrophy, and for those who are afflicted, it is a cruel death sentence. For nearly five years she has been suffering from this rapidly degenerative disease for which there is no cure. Now struggling daily with basic motor skills, degenerative muscle function, and needing help with basic biological functions, she and her retired husband are rapidly spending down their assets on medical home care and

medications. With a two-fold purpose of helping Wallin and raising awareness about ALS, family and friends along with the Greater Chicago Chapter of the ALS Association will host a benefit St. Patrick’s Day Dance & Fundraiser at the Friendship Centre, 175 S. Highpoint Drive, Romeoville, IL 60446 on Saturday evening March 17th at 7:00 p.m. As a community-based function, the Institute for Community has contributed their facility, and the dance music has been contributed by The Moonlight Serenade Orchestra, featuring Johnny B. With a $5 donation at the door, the dancing and raffling of prizes will go on from 7 – 11 p.m. Many area businesses are contributing prizes to be raffled and silent auctioned for this fundraiser. Even the Ladies

of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority at Lewis University are volunteering to help at the Event. The public is invited to enjoy food, drinks, live music, and raffles for items like Bulls tickets, Cubs tickets, Rounds of Golf, and a grand prize of a 1954 premier edition of Sports Illustrated valued at $1,000. Wallin has dedicated her life to serving others. After growing up in Beverly and studying in the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), she decided to become a teacher in the CPS. Many years of teaching were in the inner city. She was later assigned by the CPS to Barnard Elementary School in Beverly for the final 15 years of her career. With a Master’s degree in teaching, Wallin’s 34-year career was dedicated to improving the lives of students. As a woman of strong character, she committed

her life to edifying others through teaching. Also a mother of two sons, James and Steven, Wallin has spent her life putting the needs of others before her own. “All I wanted to do was see the kids develop and realize their potential,” she said. “Even if the scores were not really high, as long as they had a measurable improvement. She enjoyed her students, and classroom memories are still vivid and bring a smile. “Little kids thought all I could eat was apples,” Wallin said with a grin. “One time the kids and some parents gave me a birthday cake and brought a basket of apples.” In better times, gardening was a comforting hobby. Vegetables, herbs, or flowers, it didn’t matter. It seemed as though her gardening was a metaphor for her love of the children she

taught. “Flowers, all of them have a place.” Wallin said,“variety, order in nature, something blooming all year round - and nothing talks back.” Having taught kindergarten, primary through secondary levels, Wallin was proud to make a difference. “I was fair; but I pushed them to a higher standard,” Wallin said. “I set higher standards and their gifts were developed. All kids want to excel if they’re allowed to or shown how to.” Professional fulfillment for Wallin came when students succeeded, she said. “Oh, Mrs. Wallin, I finally got it! I finally understand!” They learned the lessons, and they applied them.” For more information about this St Patrick’s Day Dance & Fundraiser, call 708-705-1775.

Open house highlights “Green Team” efforts By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The Romeoville Recreation Department is living, working and recreating “green” this year with a focus on green initiatives at its open house to support the work of the village’s Green Team. The Open House will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on March 16 and will focus on “green” initiatives, education and demonstrations for a more sustainable life. The event also will feature recreation program demonstrations, registration for spring programs and information booths from community organizations. Isshin-Ryu Karate, Romeoville Razzlers Dance Team, and Romeoville Tumbleweeds Gymnastics Team will be featured during this event. Fit 4 Life Fitness Center and Jungle Safari Indoor Playground will be open; no admission will be charged. Inflatables, entertainment, “green” activities and giveaways are all part of this event. For more information on this event, please contact the recreation department at (815) 886-6222. The village has its own “green team,” consistently working to advise the village on ways to target environmental goals. The group’s mission is to

build educational campaigns, encouraging schools, non-profit and religious organizations, businesses, and residents to conserve natural resources, alleviating the effects of global warming and promoting urban sustainability. The team recommends practical solutions to ensure a prosperous community that will sustain healthy lives for its citizens and a healthier earth. A few ideas taken from the Green Team include:

impermeable surfaces such as pavement is another way to reduce stormwater runoff and allow water to soak into the ground. If you can’t reduce the hard surfaces you might consider installing porous paving. There are many different types of porous paving materials that can be used in driveways and sidewalk installations and patios such as bricks, flagstones, interlocking pavers, stone, and various types of porous asphalt and concrete.

• Rain garden - Rain gardens are probably the easiest and most cost efficient thing a homeowner can do to reduce their contribution to stormwater pollution. Rain gardens capture rainwater from roofs, driveways and sidewalks by diverting it into an area where it can slowly soak into the ground, filter contaminants and keep quantities of clean water from going down the sewer system. A rain garden is much like a regular perennial garden in that it is designed with deep rooted plants like flowers, grasses, trees and shrubs. In some locations 90 percent of a 1-inch rainfall would be absorbed by the rain garden.

• Rain Barrels- Rain barrels are containers that collect rain water from rooftops via a downspout. The water is used later to water plants inside and outside the home. Rain barrels can be made from new heavyduty plastic garbage cans, food grade plastic containers or can be purchased from rain barrel makers. During a 1” rain, a typical single family roof can move over 300 gallons of water which would fill most barrels 4-5 times. The barrels sell for $85, and can be purchased by contacting the village hall at 815-886-7200.

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Tips to minimize your everyday waste: • Send and store documents electronically instead of on paper • When you must print or copy, do it double-sided • Circulate documents instead of making an individual copy for everyone • Keep windows and doors closed in heated and airconditioned areas. • Turn off computers and printers when they are not in use, especially laser printers. • Don’t use power strips to turn on all computers and desk equipment at once. • When purchasing computers and peripherals, buy low wattage equipment. • Minimize use of screen savers and instead enable power management features. • Try to wash 90% of clothes in cold water. • Conserve water by taking shorter showers and turn off water while brushing teeth, washing face, shaving or washing dishes. • Drive Efficiently - drive a fuel efficient car, (i.e. one which

gets more miles per gallon), and don’t drive it more than necessary • Plastic containers can become food storage, paper can become wrapping paper. The ways in which to reuse things are unlimited. All you need is to be creative. • Reuse envelopes by placing a new label over the old address. • Designate a box for scrap paper and use it for printing all drafts or unofficial documents. • When buying any type of product, see if it is available with post consumer recycled content. • Production of recycled paper uses only half the water and 3/4 of the energy than new paper. • Every ton of recycled paper saves almost 400 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space and seventeen trees. • Don’t buy bottled water. • Buy food produced locally to reduce the impact of shipping foodstuffs around the world. • Buy products made from postconsumer recycled materials • Reuse packaging

Library dedication As a “friend of the library,” I was impressed with 20 caring people who attended our monthly meeting. Scott Painton (Director) of the three White Oak Library District, Romeoville, Lockport and Crest Hill, went into detail about the problems that incurred during the renovations. This has been a difficult time. Work to be done with certain remodeling was not always met as forecasted. This could be discouraging. But Scott and his staff just kept moving along with a positive and encouraging attitude. The patrons and myself admire their continued perseverance. Scott discussed at our meeting that 80% of the labor was provided by the employees of all three libraries. This work was the packing and moving books, shelves, office equipment, etc. This also included the dismantle of the shelves, etc. This director and staff should be applauded. The auction at the Gaylord Building went well. The staff moved 90,000 items in 2 days.All three libraries worked together. The bid for Crest Hill will be in March. Ground breaking will be hopefully in May.

There will be 88,000 feet of library space for the patrons when all three library renovations are completed. The Romeoville White Oak library is scheduled to be completed in May. I personally took two beginner computer classes at the Romeoville Library (White Oak). Two of their employees, Austin and Dennis are excellent instructors. At this time, only daytime classes are available. When the renovations are completed, nighttime and Saturday will be offered. Our friends of the library will start Facebook. Also the friends are working on a fundraiser. We need new books for all three libraries. When renovations are completed the libraries will purchase all the books that are needed. As the work continues -I am sure that our three White Oak Libraries will be the very best in the country. The phrase “The More You Know” continues to grow in our villages - thanks to the dedicated employees of these three libraries. Shirlee J. Pergler Friend of the Library

St. Baldrick’s event to raise money for cancer research It takes a community to cure childhood cancer. That’s why the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a volunteer-driven charity dedicated to raising money for childhood cancer research, will host one of its signature headshaving events at Romeoville High School on March 23. More than 50 students and staff members will shave their heads in solidarity with kids with cancer. Worldwide, more than 160,000

children are diagnosed with cancer each year, and it remains the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. With only four percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pediatric cancer research, St. Baldrick’s Foundation grant funds are critical to continue the battle against this devastating disease. The RHS St. Baldrick’s activities will begin with the third annual

RHS “Peg a Cop” Dodge Ball Tournament from 6-9 p.m. on March 21. Romeoville, Joliet and Plainfield police departments will compete against RHS students who will be offered the opportunity to “Peg A Cop” just for the fun of it. Prizes donated by Target of Romeoville, Eterna Med Spa of Shorewood, Back to Basics Chiropractic of Romeoville, and Ats A Nice Pizza of Romeoville will be raffled off at this event

as well. A bake sale will also be held. The main event will take place on March 23 at 1 p.m. in the RHS gym in front of RHS students and invited guests. The RHS “We Baldin”Team will raffle off prizes at the main event. Two years ago, the “We Baldin” Team raised over $8,600 and that number soared to $26,500 which means the 2012 team is already well on its way to meeting a three-year total goal of

$50,000. Members of the community who would like to donate to the event can go to www. stbaldricks.org/search/ everythingresults/searchValue/ romeoville+high+school/ submitEverything/Search/ If you would like to be a part of this event, please contact Romeoville Police Detective Kelley Henson at khenson@ romeoville.org or hensonkd@ vvsd.org.

Romeoville High School gathering focuses on teens’ cultural differences, similarities In an effort to break down linguistic and cultural barriers, students from three Will County schools got together for food, conversation and fun at Romeoville High School. “The goal was to help these kids understand the cultural differences for teenagers in the United States and Latin American countries,” said David Gutierrez, who heads up the RHS Heritage Spanish program. Joining RHS students at the third annual Language and

Cultural Exchange Program were English Language Learners (ELL) from Joliet Central High School, many of whom have recently moved to the United States, and fourth year Spanish students from Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox. Following breakfast in the RHS cafeteria, students met in groups to carry on the conversations entirely in Spanish using their personal knowledge and experience based on where they grew up.

“The Providence and RHS kids mostly talked about what you need to do to survive and be successful as a teenager in school and out of school,” Gutierrez said. “Many of the Joliet Central kids brought their own experiences from Latin American schools where periods are longer but they only go to school two days a week.” Following the conversations, students moved into the auditorium where they relaxed and danced together.

Initiative isn’t something for the uninitiated. Luckily, you can overlook a lack of experience and charge forward fearlessly in the week ahead. Your industry on the job should enrich your bank account.

You can benefit by giving others the benefit of the doubt. Do not waste time trying to see through people but focus on ways to see people through. This is a week to take advantage of every opportunity.

Line your pockets with gold by being bold. You can make proposals in the week to come that will fall on eager ears. When you speak, people listen - so take advantage of any opportunity to air your ideas.

Learn the lingo. By verbalizing your ideas in a way that resonates with others, you can impress others with your knowledge and expertise. Gain trust in the week ahead by speaking to other people’s needs.

Clean up or make up. Whatever has fallen by the wayside can be picked up in the week ahead. An apology will be accepted if you take the time to offer it. Revise your goals and plans for the future.

Prove your mettle and earn a medal. Nothing looks better at the end of a game than having more points than an opponent. Your take-charge attitude will win appreciation in the upcoming week.

The past is but prologue. When one door closes, another opens but in the week to come, be sure that you don’t look so long and regretfully upon the closed door that you do not see the one that has opened.

The simplest solution is often the best. Whatever comes to you effortlessly is beneficial, but you can’t exert your will and force some things into being in the week ahead.

You will want everyone to jump on the bandwagon when you are part of the band. Don’t exclude anyone from your circle, but offer encouragement and educate others in the week ahead.

To move on to the next chapter, you need a blank page. During the upcoming week, you will be filled with useful and creative ideas to create a prosperous future. Gather support to put ideas into motion.

Your life is lived on a stage. You are the star of your own production, but most key events happen without a rehearsal. During the coming week, go ahead and act on impulse; those who hesitate are lost.

Even a reluctant warrior picks up a weapon when necessary. You must learn to accept the necessity of fighting your way to the top of the food chain. Be aggressive in the week ahead.

Booker adds special moment to Spartan’s season By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Murphy’s Law, unfortunately, turned out to be the rule rather than the exception for Romeoville’s boys basketball team throughout the justconcluded 2011-12 campaign.

BOYS BASKETBALL The Spartans struggled through a 6-22 season, which ended with a 64-53 loss to Oswego East in a Downers South regional play-in game early last week. It marked the third time this year that Romeoville had played their Southwest Prairie Conference opponents, and the Spartans were on the short end of all three games. “Anything that could happen to this team happened,” said head coach Jeff Bambule.“It was a tough season, but you play with pride, you play with class, you play until the buzzer and that’s all we can ask.” The team’s trio of senior starters—Uchenna Akuba, Jaylen Nunn and Nate Washington— exhibited versatility and athleticism despite the Spartans’ record. Washington and the 6-5 Akuba are good scorers, and Nunn helped the Spartans get back into the game vs. Oswego

East last week with a one-hand slam towards the end of the first quarter. Ryan Hurtado and Ezekiel Williams (6-5 and 6-4, respectively) join Akuba, Nunn and Washington as the team’s graduating seniors. “Those kids they gave four years to the program and we really appreciate it,” Bambule said. “They’re great kids; three of them are going to move on and play at the next level which is fantastic. Nate is going to Millikin; Jalen is going to Carthage. I don’t know where Uchenna’s going to go but he’s going to play somewhere.” Akuba said he wants to play college basketball; it’s just a matter of where. “No particular college,” said Akuba when asked if there are certain schools in which he’s interested. “I’m looking for any colleges that will want me on their team and be grateful to have me. It doesn’t really matter to me (where he goes). I just love the game of basketball and I’m willing to play anywhere.” Although Romeoville is losing these seniors, Bambule hopes his underclassmen will step up into prominent roles next season. Sophomore guard Christian Diaz started the regional contest, and 6-6 classmate Armari Bonilla, saw

Romeoville’s Maurice Booker scored his lone career basket on senior night.

quite a bit of playing time in the game. “Chris did a great job handling the point for us, and Armani will definitely be a post (player) for us next year,” Bambule said. Bambule also brought up

sophomores Darrion King and James Boyd, along with freshman Josh Krueger, for the regional game. “We had some young guys on the bench that got in there at the end (of the regional game),”

Bambule said. “I hope that they learned a little bit practicing with us the last week-and-a-half. They’re good kids and I think they’re going to be good players See SEASON, page 14

SEASON Continued from page 13 at the varsity level next year.” Bambule said juniors Bobby Leach, Jake Bambule , Jimmy Moon and Jaylon Richardson “will have the opportunity to be significant contributors next year.” “At different times this year, they all stepped up and contributed for us,” he said. The Spartans, who went 2-12 in league play, registered what turned out to be their final victory of the season, 56-49, over Plainfield Central on Jan. 24. Romeoville then dropped its final nine games, which includes the regional loss. But in the midst of this nine-

game skid, the Spartans and their fans experienced a heartwarming moment during a 57-39 loss to Oswego on Senior Night Feb. 17. Bambule dressed senior manager Maurice Booker, a special needs student, and inserted him into the lineup late in the game. “We told him (before the game) that he was going to get in uniform,” Bambule said. “We told him that we didn’t know if he was going to get into the game. We really tried to emphasize that so he didn’t get disappointed.” Booker brought the crowd to its feet when he swished a 15foot jumper in the final seconds. “The crowd just exploded,” Romeoville High School Principal Derek Kinder said. “It was a big roar from both sides for a good

Sports 30 seconds.” “The coach has a good heart,” Booker said. “I love all my teammates.” Prior to making the 15-footer, Booker took a shot from the top of the key, but missed. However, Washington grabbed the rebound as it was going out of bounds and passed the ball to Booker for another attempt. Booker sank the shot from the free-throw line. “It was unbelievable,” Bambule said. “Maurice is a great kid and he’s been with us for four years. He just brings such enthusiasm. To have the opportunity to have him not only get in the game but drain a shot from the free-throw line. “There weren’t too many dry eyes in the house.” mikes@buglenewspapers.com

LEWIS The Flyers (17-11) take on No. 1 ranked and defending national champion, Bellarmine (25-3) on Saturday (March 10) at BU’s Knights Hall. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. (EST). “We’ll take it,” Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost said. “I’m excited for our seniors and I’m happy for our program to be able to do this in the toughest conference in the country, by far.” Saturday’s showdown with Bellarmine will be the fourth meeting between the two teams this year with the Knights winning all three contests. Their most recent victory over Lewis came in the GLVC Quarterfinals on Friday (March 2) night. “(Bellarmine) is the number one team in the country and deservedly so,” Trost said. “They have great players and a great coach. “We’re going to give it our best shot and see what can happen.”

In 2011, Blair recorded two goals and six assists. Prior to his senior campaign, Blair started at

In 2011, Cetera helped the Griffins advance to Class 3A supersectional final where they dropped a 1-0, fourovertime decision to eventual state champion, Morton. A twotime All-Southwest Suburban Conference selection, Cetera led Lincoln-Way East with 17 points (5 goals, team-high 7 assists) as a senior.

Donnally,a 5-foot-11,170-pound midfielder, earned three varsity letters for Plainfield North, where he totaled 33 goals and 11 assists from 2009-11. He was a twotime Team MVP and Southwest Prairie All-Conference selection and finished as the Tigers’ alltime leading scorer. Donnally is a member of the Honor Roll and National Honors Society who has competed for both the Chicago Fire Juniors Development Academy (2008-10) and Naperville Galaxy Blue (2011-12) in the U.S. Youth Soccer National League. Zieba, a 6-foot, 175-pound forward, was a three-year letterwinner for Lockport where he finished his varsity career with 28 goals and 18 assits.

LEWIS Continued from page 17 started the second inning with a solo home run. Albano hit a solo home run in the third before Schroeder hit his second of the game in the third to make the score 4-1. Solo home runs by junior Brian Norwood (Medinah, Ill./Lake Park) in the fifth and senior Mike Bolling (Chicago, Ill./ Guerin Prep/Triton) in the sixth rounded out the scoring. “The wind was blowing out and we took advantage but we had a good game one at the plate all around,” Lewis head coach Tim McDonough said. “Bolling got on base four times, Schroeder was 3-for-3 in his first game at Lewis and Ben was good all day.” While the Lewis bats were celebrating the opening of the 2012 season with some offensive fireworks; Lewis pitcher senior Pat Lahey (Downers Grove, Ill./ Downers Grove South) was keeping the Oilers from doing the same. Lahey allowed one run on five hits with three strikeouts

in a complete game seven inning performance.The Oilers only run came in the second to tie the game up. “It was a tough day to pitch and it was good to see Pat come out of the gates with a good effort,” McDonough said. “He set the tone and was very efficient, throwing around 80 pitches for the complete game.” The Lewis offense started where it left off in game two by tallying a run in the first inning. Bolling began the game with a walk. He stole second and then Albano knocked him home with a two-out RBI single.

Three schools claim regionals By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

The sign of a great team is winning when you aren’t at your best and facing adversity. Plainfield East (27-1) proved that it was a great team Friday night after overcoming a rough night offensively to beat Neuqua Valley at Neuqua Valley 4745 in the Neuqua Regional Championship. The Bengals, the No. 1 seed in the East Aurora Sectional, face No. 4 seed West Aurora Tuesday. The winner advances to Friday’s sectional title. No Plainfield boys hoops team has ever won a sectional game. The win marked the first regional title for East in any sport, and once the buzzer sounded, was more of a relief than jubilation. East held on to narrow leads at the end of each quarter (13-11, 22-20, 37-33). Its biggest lead was 34-27 late in the third quarter.The Bengals held a 42-36 lead in the fourth, but missed free throws (6-of-16 for the game) kept the Wildcats alive. The lead was sliced to one at 46-45 when Dee Brown made one of two free throws with 37.8 seconds left. Neuqua took a lot of time off the clock before a miss and Jawan Straughter was fouled with 6.6 seconds left. He missed the front end of a 1-and-1 and Neuqua grabbed the rebound, but a halfcourt heave was long. Brown led the way with 17 points. Brian Bennett added 13 points and 11 rebounds and Myles Walters contributed 10 points. •As one of four senior starters

playing their final home game for Downers Grove South, Jamall Millison was determined to make sure it wasn’t the last game of their high school careers. Millison scored nine of his 17 points, all on three-pointers, in the decisive third quarter as the Mustangs rallied to beat upsetminded Hinsdale Central 64-51 Friday night to win their second consecutive Class 4A regional championship. Second-seeded Downers South (23-5) advances to the East Aurora Sectional semifinals, where it will face No. 3 seed Metea Valley (24-4), which edged Benet 45-44, tonight at 7:30 p.m. “It means a lot to me as a senior and I know [also for] the rest of them because this is our last time ever playing here,” Millison said. “So we wanted to go out with a win for everybody and give the fans a good show.” The fans got a good show, albeit one a little more nervewracking than it would have liked. The Mustangs had beaten No. 10 seed Hinsdale Central 7156 on this same floor nine days before, but the Red Devils (17-10) came out hustling and stymied Downers South’s offense, forcing the Mustangs into taking tough shots. The Red Devils led 19-11 with 5:17 left in the second quarter before senior Kevin Honn got the rally started by sinking a three-pointer from the right corner. The visitors were still up by seven before the Mustangs tallied the last seven points of the half to forge a 24-24 halftime tie. •Maine South’s boys basketball team advances to sectional play

for the first time in two years this week after handing No. 3-seeded St. Patrick a 43-30 loss on its home court in the regional championship Friday night. The Hawks, who led 20-12 at halftime, took a 27-21 lead into the fourth quarter. St. Patrick cut Maine South’s lead to five twice during the fourth, but the Hawks finished off the Shamrocks with a 9-0 run. John Solari scored 15 points to lead Maine South, while Frank Dounis added 10. Maine South (19-12), seeded sixth, will square off with Niles North (20-8) in the Glenbrook South sectional semifinals at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The Hawks defeated Niles North in late January, 55-53. •Evanston put an end to the Dons’ 2011-12 basketball season at Friday night’s Notre Dame regional title game, holding off a late charge by the host team to win, 51-48. The Dons (20-9) took their only lead of the contest, 33-32, late in the third quarter on threepointers from Justin Halloran and Joe Ferrici. Evanston regained the lead at the end of the quarter and kept it despite Notre Dame coming within two points (4543) and one point (49-48) late in

the game. Notre Dame had a chance to tie it, but Matt Mooney couldn’t get a jumper to fall just before the horn sounded. Mooney and Ferrici each finished with 17 points for the Dons. The Wildkits advance to face top-seeded New Trier in a Glenbrook South sectional semifinal game Tuesday night. •For the second time this season, free throws played a big part in a loss for Joliet West. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the 45-41 loss to Thornton came in the regional final and ended their season. West (17-10) finished the game 16-for-30 from the free throw line. “Free throws came back to haunt us,” said West coach Luke Yaklich. “Free thrown hurt us in two games this year, West Aurora and then this one. It came down to free throw shooting. I tip my hat to Thornton, they played hard all game and in a four-point game, it is going to come down to free throws. “We had our opportunities to win, I thought we executed very well down the stretch. We got great looks, but we did not make free throws and we did not make shots in the lane. We missed a lot

of bunnies tonight.” One of those bunnies, was a Marlon Johnson dunk with 27 seconds left to play that would have tied the game. Joliet West was down 17-16 at the intermission and after Johnson picked up his third personal foul less than a minute into the second half. That forced him to the bench for nearly six minutes in which the Wildcats opened the game to a 10-point lead and held a 31-26 lead after three. “As a coach, we wanted to get him a couple minutes,” Yaklich said about Johnson. “We got him a couple minutes and unfortunately those couple minutes let them stretch the lead to a point where we had to work to get back the whole rest of the game.” After the Tigers cut the lead to 40-34 with 2 minutes, 55 seconds left to play, Thornton didn’t connect on another field goal, but unlike West, the Wildcats were 5-for-6 from the free-throw line in the closing minutes. Junior Morris Dunnigan led Joliet West with 16 points, while Johnson tallied 13 points and Brandon McCullum added seven. Matt Le Cren, Mike Sandrolini and Mark Gregory also contributed.

Whatever happened to peptic ulcer surgery? Those of us who are old enough to know who LBJ was or remember when Richard Nixon was president are old enough to remember the epidemic of ulcers in the 1950’s and 1960’s.We all knew someone who had to eat a “bland diet” and swallow liquid antacids by the handful. Many required surgery for control. In fact, during my medical training days, peptic ulcer surgery (known as Bill Roth I, Bill Roth II, and vagotomy) was the most commonly performed surgery. What happened? Are our lives now so perfect that people no longer have ulcers? Hardly. Peptic ulcers, ulcers of the stomach or duodenum, are still very common but our better understanding of their causes and more effective treatments have greatly decreased their impact on public health. Ulcer diets have gone the way of eight track tapes, and ulcer surgeries are now seldom needed. Two major advances are responsible

for this significant change. First, our medicines are much better. The first advance was the development of H2 blockers, such as Zantac and Tagamet, in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. These products block hormonerelated release of acid in the stomach and are reasonably effective. No acid resulted in no ulcers.Thus, the need for surgery declined. In the following decade proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec, Protonix and Nexium became available. These medicines actually block the pumping of hydrochloric acid (yes, your stomach produces hydrochloric acid) into the stomach. These agents have proven to be highly effective and decrease acid production by over 90%.The need for ulcer surgeries became almost non-existent. The second major advancement came from our better understanding of the causes of ulcers. Certain medications such as aspirin and arthritis pain medications are a major cause, but the other major cause is not “stress,” as many believed. Almost all duodenal ulcers and the majority of stomach ulcers are cause by an infection. The

bacterium, Helicobacter Pylori, has found a way to survive in the very acid environment of the stomach.It is the irritation caused by this bacterium that is thought to provoke the inflammation that eventually leads to an ulcer. Our ability to identify this infection and treat it simply with antibiotics and the proton pump inhibitors (PPI’s) mentioned above has significantly decreased the incidence of ulcers. As always, there must be some downside to this advance. Fortunately, there has been relatively few. PPI’s are suspected to decrease the efficacy of Plavix, a medication important to those with coronary artery disease. Stopping PPI’s quickly may result in a surge of acid production. Also, at the same time ulcers have been decreasing, there has been a corresponding increase in the relatively uncommon cancer occurring at the junction of the stomach and esophagus. There is no proven link, but coincidence has raised suspicions.

Doctor’s RX: If you are experiencing stomach problems, there is no good reason not to pursue medical care. The

Lump, even without pain, should be checked out DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I’m 71 and recently noticed a lump in my scrotum. It doesn’t hurt, but I am a bit concerned it is cancer. What else could cause this? ANSWER: A lump or swelling within the pouch of skin (scrotum) that holds your testicles, or even near your testicles, may not cause harm or even need to be treated. But it is still important you see your doctor so he or she can determine what’s causing the lump. For older men, it’s not necessarily cancer. It’s uncommon for men over 40 to develop testicular cancer - and even more rare in men over 65. However, numerous other problems can cause scrotal lumps (masses). Diagnosing the cause of a

scrotal mass often can be done based on the signs and symptoms it’s causing and the location and feel of the mass. Additional visualization is usually done with ultrasound imaging, and by viewing the mass while shining a bright light through the scrotum (transillumination). Urine or blood tests may be done to test for a bacterial or viral infection. Causes of relatively painless lumps may include: Varicocele: This is an enlargement of the veins that carry oxygen-depleted blood away from scrotal tissues. Most varicoceles occur on the left side of the scrotum. Less commonly, they occur on both sides. They may not cause symptoms and often don’t require treatment. When a varicocele causes

symptoms, they’re usually felt as a dull ache in the scrotum that’s more noticeable when standing and goes away when lying down. Treatment of problem varicoceles typically involves sealing off the enlarged veins with a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Hydrocele: This occurs when fluid accumulates within the tissue layers that surround the testicle (tunica vaginalis). Typically, hydroceles begin small and fill slowly over time. They’re usually harmless with painless swelling their only sign. However, they can become quite large and tense, leading to discomfort and making it difficult for your doctor to examine your scrotum for other problems. Treatment of a problematic hydrocele involves surgical

removal of the tunica vaginalis. Draining the hydrocele won’t work, as it will quickly refill. Spermatocele: This is a fluidfilled bulge (cyst) that occurs on an area of tissue (epididymis) at the top of the testicle that stores and transports sperm. Surgical removal of the cyst isn’t necessary unless it becomes bothersome. Testicular cancer: Although rare, testicular cancer can occur in older men, usually as a painless lump on the testicle that may be accompanied by a dull ache or sense of heaviness of the scrotum. It’s important to know that pain in this area - with or without a scrotal mass - typically signals the need for emergency care, as certain causes of pain can

begin to cause permanent tissue damage within hours of the start of pain. Even if you’re not experiencing pain or other symptoms, any scrotal mass should be examined by a doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment. - Todd B.

If you want more money, redefine your scope Q. I’m in a field that is not highly paid. I’m tired of working long hours and doing hard work for a small paycheck. Is there any way to take my current skills and make more money? A.Yes, stop thinking of yourself as your job title. Instead, redefine yourself as a professional with a toolkit full of skills. Start by making a list of everything you know how to do and have done. Now make a

list of every job you can imagine that would benefit from these types of skills. If you have trouble brainstorming, do an Internet search or look at occupational handbooks that list skills for different jobs. When you get done with your research, you should have a list of many new job titles other than the one you currently possess to explore jobs with a higher salary. Now consider your life circumstances and your flexibility about where you live and work. The wider the geographic net you can cast, the more job opportunities you will have. Make sure you note jobs that

use your special skills that are more plentiful and often have openings. You’ll increase your chances of getting a better paid job if you know there are more of these types of opportunities. Now do research on the companies that hire people for these jobs. Find out if they have online applications, and start getting your resume out to as many companies as you can identify. Also consider whether there are professional associations for people within these departments and go to some meetings.Personal contacts are always your best entry into a new job.

Some people think making money is simply luck or an Ivy League education. The truth is that neither luck nor a prestigious degree guarantees a higher salary. In today’s economy, every employee needs to see himself or herself as an entrepreneur. Your company may be bought out, and the needs of your industry may change, but your skill set can stay relevant if you don’t rigidly identify with your job title. Even when you are happy with your salary and job, keep your eyes open to changes in your industry. Look for new ways to apply the old tools you already have. Be keenly aware that the

rapid pace of change has created two classes of employees: those who get run over by the wave of change and those who ride the wave of change to the career of their dreams. Be the latter.

Get rid of $7,000 debt, but don’t lose relationship war Dear Dave, I got divorced recently, and have custody of our children who are 12 and 17. I’m lucky enough to be debt-free, and I own the house we’re living in, which is worth about $350,000. I also have $160,000 in savings, and we receive $1,200 in child support every month. People are all telling me I should be investing, but each one tells me to do a different kind of investing. What do you suggest?

Mary Dear Mary, I know going through a divorce has got to be hard on you and your kids. Make sure you spend lots of time hugging on them and letting them know they’re loved. Fortunately, things are still pretty good in your world in a financial sense. Your net worth is a half-million dollars, plus you have no debt. Most ladies don’t find themselves as lucky moneywise after a divorce. Don’t do too much with the $160,000 right now. Just park $100,000 of it in a CD for a year until you get over the shock of everything that has happened. You won’t make much money,

but you won’t lose anything, either. Then, take the remaining $60,000, and invest it in good growth stock mutual funds – ones that are very conservative and have at least a 10-year track record of success. You’ve also got to take a look down the road and decide what you want to do with the rest of your life. You’re going to be an empty-nester is a few years. Do you want to go back to school or maybe start your own business? You’ve got a little learning to do about investing, too.Taking a year or so will allow for education and thinking about what you want out of life. Knowledge has a way of erasing fear. Plus, you’ve

got a responsibility to your kids to invest this money wisely. When everything settles down a bit, just take your time, find a good investment professional with the heart of a teacher, and make sure you don’t put money into anything you don’t

understand. Spend lots of time loving on your kids, too. That’ll help with the healing process as much as anything. —Dave For more financial help please visit daveramsey.com.
