Peterson murder-for-hire trial could begin in July Randolph County officials glad to have input from Kaupases on what to expect Drew Peterson’s trial on charges of trying to hire someone to kill Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow could begin in July, one of the prosecutors said last week. Randolph County State’s Attorney Jeremy Walker said Peterson’s court-appointed defense attorney, Lucas Liefer, filed a speedy trial demand on Feb. 18. “His attorney has filed a speedy trial demand, which means we have to try the case within 160 days of the filing,” Walker said. “We have a jury availability in July, and we’re going to try for a July trial unless the defendant moves off his speedy trial demand.” Randolph County has jury availability five times per year, with the next coming at the end of March. “At this point, we are planning for July,” Walker said. “Will defense be ready at that point? I can’t comment on that.” Walker said the speedy trial demand isn’t an unusual filing. “It’s a matter of due course in some cases,” he said. Peterson, 61, made his initial appearance at the Randolph County Courthouse on Feb. 9 on charges of one count of solicitation of murder for hire and one count of solicitation of murder, both Class X felonies. The charges are related to an alleged plot to kill Glasgow, who prosecuted Peterson’s murder case. According to the Attorney General’s office, Peterson allegedly tried to orchestrate the plot between September 2013 and December 2014. The next hearing is set for March 3, and with that fast approaching, Randolph County officials held a

meeting Feb. 20 to discuss plans on how to handle the event. They invited former Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupas and his cousin, Ken Kaupas, a retired sheriff’s department chief and Illinois State Police captain, since both have experience dealing with the media from Peterson’s initial trial. “Ken Kaupas was a big part of the planning for the original Peterson trial,” Randolph County Sheriff ShannonWolff said. “They provided us with a lot of useful information to put our plan together for our court proceedings.” “Honestly, the majority of the talk was how to handle and deal with the media,” said Randolph County Commissioner Ronnie White, who attended the meeting on behalf of the county board. “The courtroom isn’t big enough to handle them all, so there will be a lottery.” Back home Saturday, Paul Kaupas said the lottery system helped in Will County, to a certain point. He remembered people sleeping overnight in bushes around the courthouse to make sure they were among the first in line to get pick for one of the seats in the courtroom. “ Peterson is currently serving a 38-year sentence at Menard Correctional Center in Randolph County after being convicted in 2012 for the 2004 murder of his

third wife, 40-year-old Kathleen Savio. He is also a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson. Drew Peterson’s original sentence has him behind bars until he is 93. It is currently on appeal. The solicitation for murder charge carries a penalty of 15 to 30 years, while the solicitation of murder for hire carries a penalty of 20 to 40 years, according to Attorney General Lisa Madigan. For the pretrial in the Savio murder trial, there were 81 media passes and 210 for the trial itself, White said. Randolph County officials are thinking about appointing one person to coordinate the media and to run the lottery. Wolff said that person as well as one to handle the media would come from his office. “This amount of media attention will cause us to adjust our procedures a little

The PARCC test is given in two separate modules, one will be administered in March and another in April. According to PARCC, most students will spend about four hours each on the mathematics and English language arts/ literacy portions of the test, working on writing exercises, reading real passages and solving real-world math problems. Those will be broken down into smaller time blocks that will take most students 40 to 60 minutes, though schools will schedule up to 90 minutes for each unit to make sure that all students have the time they need to show what they know and can do.

School districts weigh in on new state-mandated assessment By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

Rigor. College and career-ready. Accountability. Technology. That’s the language spoken in school districts across the state as they prepare to use a new assessment tool in March; one that is more aligned with the federally mandated Common Core standards. Called archaic and unreliable, the Illinois Standard Achievement Test (ISAT) is out, and the new computer-based assessment tool by Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), is in. Many educators believed there was a disconnect between the ISAT and what was being taught in the classroom, thus not really giving an accurate picture of what knowledge students retain. PARCC’s goal is to help ensure all students -- regardless of income, family background or geography -- have equal access to a world-class education that will prepare them for success after high school. “There is no comparison to ISAT—I’ve seen what we are leaving behind, and I am not sad to see it go,” said Michael LoCascio, director of K-12 assessment and data at Valley View. “With (PARCC), you not only have to know the answer, but you have to explain your reasoning. That is in alignment with common core standards, a much more analytical way of thinking, and it is something our students are becoming more and more familiar with.”

These tests use interactive questions to determine whether students have mastered the fundamentals, as well as higherorder skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and analyzing sources to write arguments and informational essays – skills not easily assessed by traditional multiple-choice tests, as was done with ISAT. Education officials believe these state tests serve students of all achievement levels – advanced, average, and struggling – by identifying where they have areas of need, as well as where they are excelling. In actuality, said LoCascio, the PARCC test is based on the very standards every school district should be teaching. Illinois is one of 45 states that have been replacing their state learning standards over the past three years with the new Common Core State Standards for learning. A consortium of state education and business leaders developed the Common Core standards to provide a more rigorous and uniform set of academic expectations nationwide. Bottom line, educators say PARCC has the potential to be a successful tool for measuring student success, but still expect this to be a transition year. In fact, the ISBE will treat this first test as a baseline year, so there are no consequences for schools or students. The numbers will be used as a baseline in order to measure growth by students, schools and districts in the future.

The first year of data will also be used to establish cut scores that determine the performance levels at which students can be deemed “college and career ready.” The PARCC assessments will be able to be compared directly with their peers across the nations.

Sample 1 Patricia needs to read for 120 minutes each week. She read for 26 minutes on Monday. She ready for 39 minutes on Tuesday. She read for 38 minutes on Thursday. How many more minutes does Patricia need to read this week?

Sample 2 An art teacher will tile a section of the wall with painted tiles made by students in three art classes. Class A made 18 tiles Class B made 14 tiles Class C made 16 tiles Part A) What are the total number of tiles that are to be used?

Technical difficulties The road to the PARCC test was fast and furious, leaving educators balking at its introduction. In November 2012, administrators learned the state would be switching to the new test for the 2014-2015 school year. They knew much needed to be put in place to pull it off. School districts were tasked with ensuring every school had the right technology and staffing in place to administer the test. For school districts grappling with tight budgets, the investment was a big hit to their resources. It cost nearly $1 million to implement in Plainfield District 202 and nearly $400,000 in Valley View. “We have also upgraded our technology network infrastructure,” said Charles Coleman, Joliet Public Schools District 86 superintendent. “The new network is designed to handle the increased bandwidth demands of the 21st century classroom, as well as online student testing.” Over the past year, Astrid Welch, director of technology for Valley View, said the district has added 1,300 desktops, 865 Chromebooks, and furnished 121 rooms throughout the district at its 19 schools to administer the

test. They also increased wireless access points to ensure seamless delivery. “We are ready, but it was a very intense team effort by literally every department in the school district, from technology and data services to building leaders and students,” said Rachel Kinder Valley View Community Unit School District 365u Assistant Superintendent for Educational Services. “It is touching everyone.” While PARCC was certainly the impetus for the increased tech, all of the materials will not be used solely for PARCC. The new equipment also will be used for regular classroom instruction and to support curriculum throughout the year.

Test Prep In addition to knowing the PARCC material, students need to know how to use a computer to take the test. Preparation is key and school districts across

the board have been holding everything from webinars and hands on professional development sessions for teachers to community outreach meetings for parents and weekly sessions for students on how to take the test. In Joliet School District 86, resources for parents and students are listed online to help students familiarize themselves with some of the online tools and navigational skills they will need to know for the upcoming PARCC exam. This exam will be administered online for grades 4-5 and grades 7-8 in District 86. The list includes everything from mouse and keyboarding games to virtual measuring tools and plotting points all in an effort to help their students become more comfortable with online test taking. Across the board, school districts have been providing websites and other resources to staff and parents to assist students with the technology skills needed to successfully navigate the new online PARCC assessment.

We will be reaching out to the media and the public prior to the preliminary hearing to inform them of what the changes will be.” Wolff said he hoped to release those changes soon. “If anybody has any questions regarding parking procedures or security protocols, they can contact the Sheriff’s Office,” Wolff said. “We will get a plan out as soon as we can. “We have limited space around the courthouse, and it’s better to have clear communication to the media as far as where they can be and what they can and can’t do,” he said. “It makes it easier on them and easier on us.” Wolff stressed the only issues regarding the Peterson case his office is handling are security and logistics. “Questions regarding the case need to be directed to the

Also present for the meeting were Chester Police Chief Ryan Coffey, a representative from the Attorney General’s office and several different office-holders, according to Wolff. “It was a great meeting,” Wolff said. “It gave us the information we needed to start planning for this. It would have been difficult to know what to plan for if we didn’t have that meeting.” White cautioned that plans are still in the preliminary stages and “nothing is set in stone.” The group is to meet again prior to Peterson’s March 3 court appearance. Paul Kaupas said they asked him to return for another meeting, but he said he would see how the March 3 hearing went before deciding if he was needed again. “It sounds like it will be a combined effort between the

Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, Chester Police Department, Department of Corrections, the Attorney General’s office and the (Illinois) State Police have offered their help,” White said. He added that officials haven’t ruled out charging the media for specific services in order to recoup some of the county’s expenses. “We have to provide employee parking still, so (Will County officials) said they were charging because the media brought their tractor-trailers,” he said, referring to the original Peterson proceedings. “It was $500 a week for the media to park their semis. “Media that was on the list to get a transcription of the proceedings paid a fee for that.” Pete Spitler, Managing Editor of The (Randolph County) Herald Tribune, and Bugle Managing Editor Nick Reiher collaborated on this story.

Sometimes, everyone can use a Hug Someone finally said it. And it was Joliet Councilman Larry Hug’s brother. During the Feb. 17 Joliet City Council meeting, Tom Hug told the members of the council to stop bickering. “All you do is spend your time pointing the finger at one another,” he said. “Shame on you.” He’d come to the meeting to talk about the monster snowstorm of Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. Although the culde-sacs were plowed near his home at 2604 Bayberry Court, no one could drive out of the subdivision, Tom Hug said. “Instead of pointing fingers and making robo calls (urging people to vote for Councilman Bob O’Dekirk in the mayoral election) and blaming it on the mayor -- who then comes up with a plan and says, ‘We will look at subcontractors,’ and people say he is exceeding his authority -so either it is the mayor’s fault or it is not, but the fighting amongst all of you has got to stop,” Tom Hug said. He then took O’Dekirk to task over the lack of a stop sign in his neighborhood. At his councilman’s request, Tom Hug submitted a petition in May with 120 signatures

urging the city to install a stop sign at Bayberry Court and Wake Island Drive, but the sign never went up. “I believe I was told the matter had been taken care of,” O’Dekirk said. “You never followed up with a phone call, but I never followed up by checking for the stop sign.”

And that fork in your pocket? DoesJolietCityCouncilmanTerry Morris have a dangerous habit? O’Dekirk mentioned Tuesday that he recently had visited Cheesecake by James, 20 E. Cass St. While there, he spotted an invoice for Morris. It was for six cheesecakes. “I thought maybe we needed a cheesecake intervention,” O’Dekirk said. Morris explained they weren’t for him – at least not all of them. “My wife sent me down there to pay for them.”

When Donkeys and Elephants fly … The shock was palpable when ultra-right wing County Board Member Steve Balich, R-Homer Township, said he agreed with ultraleft wing colleague Jackie Traynere, D-Bolingbrook, in defeating a

resolution on residential lighting displays. “When I see Jackie and Steve agreeing, it brings a tear to my eye,” said Chuck Maher, R-Naperville, the board’s Republican Caucus Chair. Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said it showed that most of the time, the board can act in a bi-partisan way for the good of the county.

Condolences … To Moustis on the recent death of his mother Rose at age 90. “My Dad was a real SOB,” Moustis said in comments at the end of the Feb. 19 County Board meeting. “My Mom would say, ‘Oh, honey, your father loves you. That’s just the way he is.’ She was a real sweetheart.”

So long … And congratulations to Sharon Lorenz who retires Feb. 27 after 18 years with the county, including the last 10 1/2 as Will County Executive Larry Walsh’s secretary. She’ll have more time to spend with that grandbaby now. Reporter Stewart Warren and Managing Editor Nick Reiher contributed to this week’s article.

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Nielsen autographs one of her books for Vivian Vidad during a visit to A. Vito Martinez Middle School. (Submitted photo)

Author tells Martinez students to ‘dream crazy big’ Ascendance Trilogy author inspires Life is all about taking risks. So says New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Neilsen who paid a visit to A. Vito Martinez Middle School in Romeoville Thursday. “Life is going to want to put you in a box where you are least likely to fail. It is safe. It is predictable,” she told students. “If you want to change that, you must say this is not enough for me.” The author of the Ascendance Trilogy, including The False Prince, as well as the Mark of the Thief series, urged her audience to be creative in whatever they do, whether it’s school work, writing, graphic arts, athletics or music.

“Creativity is not something you are born with. It is not luck. It is a choice you make,” she said. “Creativity is taking something that is nothing and making it something.” Emphasizing that creative ideas “are everywhere around us,” the Utah native assured students “you will be able to find your creative spark and the ideas will flow.” “Trust yourself. Trust that you are the kind of person who can create,” she said. “You gotta know you are capable of getting yourself to the place you want to go. “Dream crazy big. Go home and have the dream of your life. People who have little dreams that fit in little boxes live little lives,” Neilsen added. “You are never going to achieve bigger than the biggest dream you have.”

I was proud to be a union member and president of a union that represented nearly 600 newspaper people. I was proud when we stood our ground and got what we felt we needed. I was less proud when I was outvoted and had to do things because they were in the best interest of the union, and not the employees and their customers. Too often during the past 10 years or so, unions have chosen to fight for increasingly higher wages and benefits, only to see the management trim hundreds of jobs they can no longer afford. During tough times, there needs to be a spirit of compromise, on both sides. There needs to be management offering what they can as a fair wage to allow a person to support a family, keep food on the table, a roof over their heads and help with coverage in case of, or to prevent, illness. That, in turn, will help employees to be able to afford the higher prices other businesses likely will have to charge to offset said fair wages and benefits.

T h ursday, February 26, 2015 | rom eovi llebug le.com testing | from page 3 Tom Hernandez, director of community relations for Plainfield School District 202, said the district has been implementing Common Core for the past three years. He said they are confident their students ultimately will do well on PARCC. But they have warned parents initial PARCC scores will be lower than what they are used to seeing on the ISAT/PSAE. “This is to be expected, with the change to a more rigorous set of learning expectations,” the district told parents. “As we publicly predicted, District 202’s scores dropped by about 20 percentage points two years ago on the ISAT/PSAE after the State of Illinois phased in some Common Core content into those tests. “However, our scores improved this past spring after teaching the new Common Core standards for a year. We fully anticipate that our students will continue to score very well on the PARCC once the new Common Core standards are fully implemented into our system.” One educator is anxious about the possibilities with PARCC. “I think the test has merit, but because I have only seen samples of test questions and the students have not taken the test yet, I’m still open on this,” said one elementary school teacher. “I think this test will provide a more accurate measure of where our students stand academically, not only with students in Illinois, but with all states that have adopted Common Core. “Hopefully the feedback we will receive from the PARCC test

will be more specific for both teachers and parents. Yet the first year will be a learning curve for everyone involved since we really don’t know what to expect.”

Opting-out not an option The quick timeframe and cost to get systems switched to the new assessment had some school districts, including the largest, the Chicago Public School District, trying to opt out. That move has area school districts baffled, explaining that state assessments are directly tied to funding. PARCC, and formerly the ISAT, is required by the state as a tool to hold school districts accountable. If school districts do not meet certain scores, funding is cut. If the test is not taken, funding is cut. “I don’t know how they can make that decision—it’s just not wise,” said Kinder. “We choose not to risk what could be substantial dollars. We were given a directive, and we are following through.” Federal and state education officials confirmed in December 2014 there is no waiver to districts that may want to delay administering the PARCC. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA, also known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001) requires states (including Illinois) receiving Title I funds to provide for administration of the state’s academic assessment to all designated students. Additionally, the department confirmed that the same assessment must be used for all students, and if the district does not comply will be subject to the loss of both federal and state funding.

spartans STOPPED Romeoville’s season ends in regional final By scoTT Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_sports

Even though Romeoville’s season came to an end Friday night in a 36-29 loss to Oswego in the Romeoville Regional final, the Spartans showed they will be a tough out consistently. Two years removed from a regional title, the Spartans (2112) had a rebuilding year last year, but came back strong this year to win a pair of regional games. “I feel like we are underdogs,” Romeoville point guard Lexi Marin said. “Nobody thought we would make it this far.” “We had seven wins last year, so to get to 21 this year was fun,”

Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “This was a different breed from two years ago. That team had a lot of experienced players. This team was a lot more inexperienced. I am so proud of them. They bought in.” The Spartans fell behind 11-1 after one quarter in the title game and could never get all the way back in the game as they had more turnovers (14) than field goals (12). However, they did not give in, despite being down 21-10 at the half. A Marin three-pointer cut the lead to three points as they held Oswego scoreless for more than five minutes. The problem was

ROUNDUP

Bolingbrook wins own regional basketball title By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

When the season started, the Bolingbrook girls basketball team was a collection of players who had very little time together and very little time on a varsity floor. As the Raiders moved through their tough schedule, the goal was always the same – be better at the end of the year. “Coming into this season, a lot of these girls didn’t have that quality minute experience at this stage in their careers,” said Bolingbrook coach Chris Smith. “They used this season as the learning curve. From the beginning of November to right now, we are better. We are a different team. This is not

the team that played Montini on Nov. 17.” The Raiders showed that first step last Friday as they defeated Plainfield North 66-48, winning the Class 4A Bolingbrook Regional title. It is Bolingbrook’s 13th regional title since 2001. The Raiders string of 12 consecutive regional titles was snapped last season. “It sounds real good. It is something we sorely needed,” Smith said about the regional title. “We didn’t want to be that team that is 15-0 and playing our best basketball by December 15. I don’t want to play my best basketball then, I want to play the best basketball March 6 and 7 (state finals weekend).” After a slow start in the regional opener forced the

Raiders into a battle with Downers Grove North, Smith said the goal was to get out fast in the final. “We kept the energy, especially on the defensive end. We kept the energy and used the full court man-toman and really played to our strength,” Smith said. “We started jacking threes, but when we move the ball and got the shots we want, we are good. We showed patience and moved the ball on offense when we do that, we do good things.” The Raiders were led by junior point guard Brittney Patrick with 17 points, while Bennita Drain scored 14 points and Karli Seay added 13. Patrick, a transfer in from

Lewis men’s hoops pick up 20th win of year Flyer women clinch GLVC East title The Lewis University men’s basketball team registered season-highs in points, field goals made and field goal percentage as the Flyers won their eighthstraight and 20th game overall with the 98-70 Great Lakes Valley Conference win over McKendree at the Statham Center on Saturday (Feb. 21) afternoon. The Flyers shot a season-best 62.1% (36-for-58) from the field. They were equally as effective from three-point land, as they drained 62.5% (10-for-16) of their attempts. Lewis’ previous seasonhigh of 97 points came earlier this

season against McKendree (Jan. 15). Lewis senior point guard Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton) was responsible for four of those trifectas, as he tied a career-high with 24 points on 9-for-13 shooting and dished out six assists. His four three-pointers also tied a careerbest. Flyer freshman guard Max Strus (Hickory Hills, Ill./Stagg) was 8-for-10 from the field to finish with 19 points along with six rebounds and six assists. Senior guard Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./Riverside-Brookfield) scored

11 points. 12 different Flyers scored in the victory. “I thought we played with great purpose in the second half,” Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost said. “We got stops on the defensive end which led to a few easy baskets. I thought Jeff (Jarosz) and Max (Strus) were sensational. “I’m proud of this team for getting 20 wins (this season) against the quality of competition we have played.” With the win, Lewis improves to 20-6 overall and 12-5 in GLVC action, while the host Bearcats drop to 11-14 on the season and 4-13 in conference play. McKendree’s Matt Holmes led four Bearcats in double-figures with 17 points and a game-high

nine rebounds. Senior guard Logan Carson had 13 points, while junior guard A.J. Schmidt picked up 10 points. Sophomore forward Brian Koch came off the bench to score 11 points. Lewis returns to action on Thursday (Feb. 26) as they head to Kenosha to square off with No. 12 UW-Parkside. Tip-off is set for 7:30 PM. WOMEN No. 2 Lewis women’s basketball out-rebounded McKendree 5031 to pick up a 91-71 Great Lakes Valley Conference road win on Saturday (Feb. 21) afternoon. The win clinches the GLVC East Division Championship for the Flyers. Lewis has now won the GLVC East crown in three

consecutive seasons. The win is also Lewis’ 16th GLVC win of the season. It matches the single season school record last year’s team set when they finished with 16 conference wins. Five Flyers finished in doubledigits with senior Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./Bloomington Central Catholic) leading the way with 17 points. She now owns seventh place in career scoring at Lewis all to herself with 1,580 points. Junior Mariyah Brawner-Henley (Skokie, Ill./Niles North) picked up her 20th double-double of the

T h ur sday, February 26, 2015 | rom eovi llebug le.com spartans | from page 11 they were unable to score, missing a 2-on-1 break and multiple looks inside in the closing minutes. “We had ample opportunities, which makes it disappointing,” Carrasco said. “Holding them to 36 points though is an accomplishment. It is hard to win when you can’t score. Every bounce went their way.” Jahari Smith finished with 13 points and Cherish Smith had 10 rebounds. After beating Waubonsie Valley 38-28 in a regional quarterfinal, Romeoville then upset Downers South 52-48 in the semis. Like was the case all week, the Spartans were fueled by the defense. “Defensively I thought the girls played great,” Carrasco said. “We did a couple things differently. We’ve been stressing to leave everything on the court. We didn’t want to be done. They did a nice job today.” “We came together as a team,” Marin said. “We knew we wanted to get this win for the team and for our seniors. Our defense got better and I felt like we had more intensity. Our defense was on and we were up and ready to go.” Romeoville led 27-24 at the half and 35-28 in the third quarter, but a Mustang 13-0 run gave them a 41-35 lead. “We started not running the offense and making one pass and shooting,” Carrasco said. “That’s not us. We have to run an offense. We got a little sloppy.” The Spartans bounced back in the fourth quarter though behind their defense. “Defense made the difference,” Cherish Smith said. “Our defense

Senior Alexus Grayer (Washington, Ill./Washington) came off the bench to add 16 points on an efficient 4-of-7 performance beyond the arc. Junior Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./Marian Catholic) totaled 14 points. Senior Kristin Itschner (Metamora, Ill./Peoria Notre Dame) totaled 10 points with four assists. McKendree’s final lead of the game came at 8-7. The Flyers led the rest of the way. After

in the fourth quarter was terrific. We just wanted to win.” With the score tied at 48-48 with under two minutes left, Smith found Skye Osborne cutting to the basket for a layup on what would be the gamewinning basket. “That play comes from practice,” Cherish Smith said. “Coach gets on me sometimes because I get the ball and I want to take it rather than getting it to the cutters. I got the ball and saw she was open. I had faith in her and knew she was going to make the basket.” “They’re still making mistakes, but they are seeing the floor,” Carrasco said. “That is what it comes down to and we’ve been pushing that someone will get open if we are patient.” Defense and a strong home court advantage finished off the win for the Spartans. “I feel like tonight we wanted to give it our all,” Cherish Smith said. “We played our hardest and came out with the W. It helped us out a lot to play at home. A lot of people came out and supported us and we wanted to show that we wanted to finish as a team.” Marin had 18 for the game, while Cherish Smith had 14 and Jahari Smith tallied 10 points and 10 rebounds. The Spartans lose five seniors, including starters Cherish Smith and Jamie Hopper, but welcome back several key players, including Marin and Jahari Smith. “We lose five seniors, but our sophomore team had a successful season,” Carrasco said. “We need to fill some roles, but our main core is back.”

committing only four fouls on Thursday at UIS, Lewis stayed out of foul trouble once again on Saturday. McKendree never entered the double bonus with four fouls being called on Lewis in the first half and eight in the second half. Of Lewis’ 50 rebounds, 19 were of the offensive variety. Lewis outscored McKendree in the paint 44-36. The visiting Flyers out-shot the Bearcats 48.6 percent to 43.6 percent. Lewis improves to 26-1 (16-1 GLVC). McKendree falls to 2-23 (1-16 GLVC). The Flyers close the regular season on Thursday (Feb. 26) at UW-Parkside. A win would set a new program record for single season conference wins.

We had the drive that we want to succeed, that we want to win. We have played tough teams and all those tough teams just prepared us for playoffs.” In the first game, the Raiders defeated Downers Grove North 44-32. Bolingbrook was led by Patrick with 14 points and Campbell with 12 points and seven rebounds. Both teams were without key players, as Downers Grove North, was missing 6-foot, 2-inch Penn State-recruit Jaida Green and Bolingbrook was without 6-3 senior Parris Bryant. Bryant also missed most

girls BoWling The name of the game in bowling is picking up spares. While that is true, when it comes to the state meet, stringing strikes together is important to compete with the best the state has to offer. Bolingbrook’s Felicia Montecinos had a solid day picking up spares, but struggled to get the strike ball rolling as she came up short of finals, finishing with a 1,1,81 Friday at Cherry Bowl in Rockford. Her total was just 13 pins short of making finals. “I know that I could have done better but I’m proud of myself for making it to state,” Monetcinos said. “I’m happy I didn’t do horrible, but I could have done much better. I missed some easy spares in the 10th frame that killed my

game. I knew where to throw it and where not to throw it, but sometimes the ball just took off. I couldn’t get many strings of strikes together.” Despite coming up short of finals, she was happy with the experience. “I love it,” Montecinos said. “I love having all the girls around. I love when it is loud and the cheering. I love the good bowlers and the competitiveness. I loved it all. It was fun dancing and bowling. Now I know what college will somewhat be like. I’m glad I got the experience. I didn’t expect it to be this loud, but it was nice.” It was also different for Montecinos not having her teammates bowling with her. “It felt weird not having the team cheers,” Montecinos said. “But I bowl singles tournaments, so it isn’t that much different. It is still weird not having my teammates down here.”

Residents to learn Emergency Preparedness Course Romeoville Emergency Management Agency (R.E.M.A.) is offering a free CERT program to Romeoville- area residents who want to learn how to be

better prepared before, during, and after an emergency. CERT Basic Training is designed to prepare you to help yourself and to help others in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Because emergency services personnel will not be able to help everyone immediately, you can make a difference by using your CERT training to save lives and protect property. The course consists of eight different modules. Each

module is three hours long, for a total of 24 hours of training over four weeks. Course will be held Monday and Thursday evenings from April 13 to May 7 at Romeoville Emergency Management Agency, 195 South Old Budler Road. See course schedule below. Participants must be 16 years of age. If students are between 16-18 years old, a parent or guardian must accompany them

Village to install prescription drug collection box Residents can dispose of old or unneeded prescriptions at designated locations The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Lewis University in Romeoville a $613,428 grant for a project entitled “Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Connections.” The project at Lewis University, under the direction of Dr. Jason Keleher and Dr. Joseph Kozminski, will contribute wellprepared graduates to the STEM workforce with advanced training in chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and chemical physics. It is designed to enhance physical sciences education through an experiential learning model based on real-world experiences. The students will be provided with a solid foundation for employment and graduate school in a competitive landscape. Specific emphasis will be placed on skills relevant to pressing issues such as alternative energy, novel materials for information storage, next generation health care materials, and advanced optical technology. The NSF award starts April 15. “This award is terrific news for Lewis University, its students, and the region, and it is welldeserved,” Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3) said. “In 2012, I attended

the dedication of the impressive new Science Center at Lewis and discussed the university’s strong commitment to STEM education. This award will be a great help as Lewis advances its commitment to training students for careers in STEM fields. Not only will the students benefit, but our region will benefit as new and expanding companies are established by and around a skilled STEM workforce.” During the project, Lewis University will leverage its relationships with nanotechnology companies, Argonne and Fermi National Laboratories, and the community to provide students with additional learning opportunities. It will also expand its research collaborations with the labs and both domestic and international companies working in these advanced fields. In the House of Representatives, Congressman Lipinski serves on the Science, Space, and Technology committee. He is the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Research and Technology, and also sits on the Subcommittee on Energy. He has long supported investing in innovation and scientific research at universities, national labs, and other entities that support long-term economic

growth and allow the United States to compete in the global marketplace and grow American jobs. When he was chairman of the Research Subcommittee, Lipinski wrote the bill reauthorizing the National Science Foundation (NSF). As a former teacher and one of only a dozen engineers in Congress, Lipinski has pushed for improvements in STEM education throughout his career. He is a strong believer that improving STEM education at all levels is among the most important steps we can take to ensure that America remains the most technologically innovative country in the world and our children receive an education that will allow them to succeed in the jobs of today and tomorrow. “Our world is much better today because of the investments the United States has made in basic science research,” Rep. Lipinski said. “These investments have resulted in historic breakthroughs in how we understand the world, and have led to advances in medicine and technology that have made possible new products that have created jobs and economic development. That’s why I am committed to keeping the country at the forefront of scientific research and leading the way in developing new technologies and creating new jobs.”
