Remodeled prop room will help ‘bigger and better’ Lukancic productions ‘You can’t believe what a difference this makes’

When “Searching For David’s Heart” opens in the Lukancic Middle School auditorium next month, the stage crew will have a much easier time with props and costumes than in past productions courtesy of a newly remodeled backstage prop area. “We’ve been talking about doing something like this for a long time,” said Lukancic social studies teacher Dave Zucker who serves as a co-director (along with Jessica Wisniewski) for plays at the Romeoville school. “But it came down to Don Worcester (Lukancic maintenance) actually deciding to get it done.” Worcester and fellow maintenance team members Jim Burns and Dave Cichy spent

Flood … of calls … on Kankakee River Sometimes, National Weather Service alerts work a little too well. Harold Damron, Will County’s Emergency Management Agency director, said he got a call last week from a Chicago TV station saying its helicopter was on the way down here. Turns out they had received a NWS flood advisory for the Kankakee River when levels got a little more than a foot over flood stage due to some ice floe jamming on the river. “I told them if they’re coming out to see water in people’s basements, they can save their jet fuel,” Damron said. Not that Phelan Acres residents on the river didn’t get a little antsy one day last week after the river started inching toward their front yards. But Damron said the warmer weather and a couple weeks of using water from the Dresden cooling lake broke up the big chunks, and the river was flowing just fine. “We’re in the clear,” Damron said.

Brent Hassert, former Will County Board member and legislator-turned lobbyist, said he was proud to watch Joliet Junior College Culinary Arts students serve dinner to Gov. Bruce Rauner, and a handful of legislators and JJC trustees March 10 at the Executive Mansion in Springfield. “The meal was as good as anything you could get a Tallgrass,” boasted the JJC alum, referring to the highclass restaurant in Lockport. Hassert said House Minority Leader Jim Durkin, who helped set up the dinner, had the laugh of the night: “He asked the JCC students if their wine cellar was as good as the one at the College of DuPage.” Hassert, who had been working on this or a similar event for several years, said he was glad the students got to do it, and that it turned out to be Rauner’s first formal dinner at the Executive Mansion.

Old-timers scanning local obituaries also may have noticed a familiar name: Shirley Eichholzer. Shirley, a retired Will County Sheriff’s officer, was the smiling face who greeted the press when they came to the old county jail in the basement of the courthouse to inquire about new lodgers.

cover story

Valley View School District and parents deliberate on gifted program By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

For a program that hasn’t been updated since 1979, the Valley View School District 365u’s gifted program, Challenge, is facing an overhaul and that in itself is creating its own challenge. While administration is calling a proposed shift in the program an expansion, parents are seeing it as a possible constraint. The district currently serves gifted/academically talented students in a self-contained program model that is housed in two of the twelve elementary schools in grades two through five. Recently, administration was charged with the task of examining the elementary program and developing recommendations for improvement. An outside consultant was first hired in 2012 and charged with creating a committee to evaluate the merits of the program. The committee membership spans Challenge parents, board members, Challenge teachers, principals, and central office administrators. During the 2013-14 school year, a new consultant was hired to work with the committee who conducted a program evaluation of the elementary Challenge program while working with the committee to create a more formalized review of the research on gifted programming for elementary students. The committee then developed components for expansion to the elementary program, also reviewing gifted/talented programs that are currently operating in Woodridge District 68, Naperville District 203, and Indian Prairie District 204. The districts were chosen based on proximity to Valley View, similar demographic data and/or size, and the type of programs offered. The committee recently came before the school board to propose a new program based on their research and recommended different options to continue a gifted program. The main proposal centered on operating a selfcontained program for the top 5 percent of students in third through fifth grade and push in/push out component for second grade. Three program models were recommended for gifted/ academically talented students

in grade kindergarten through grade five including the following: in room support for potentially gifted students in grades K-2; continuation of the self-contained program known as Challenge to serve identified gifted students in grades 3-5; and implementation of a building-based model known as Project EXCEL to serve academically talented students in their home school during the middle of grade 2 through 5. The scenario involving the second grade is what most parents in attendance had concerned, worried that the second-grade gifted child would lose out on valuable instruction geared toward their level. “The second grade Challenge program is the foundation of the elementary education gifted program,” said Romeoville Michelle Gura. “It is a place for academically gifted children to think creatively and work with like-minded kids their own age. They are in a classroom where they final aren’t bored, where the sky is the limit and where teachers are trained to deal with their idiosyncrasies.” Gura explained that it would be a disadvantage to children who need an advanced education to cut the second grade program as it now stands. Parent Karen Hodgson was also concerned, questioning even the start of the proposed secondgrade push in/ pull out program, which would start in the latter half of the school year. “I just have many questions that haven’t been answered—why are we going to let our students sit until January 2016 working on material they’ve already mastered,” said Hodgson. Administration and committee members present were open to input but tried to further explain the program, noting that the reason for the second grade push in/pull out, is to give more time to fully evaluate children to ensure they belong in the gifted program or if they would benefit from proposed further specialist training that will be given to those that are “academically talented” and in the top 11-15 percent of the class. “This would allow us to reach a greater population of high learners,” said Elizabeth Martinez, executive director of educational services PreK-5. Committee members reiterated

that young children in kindergarten and grade one need time to adjust to curricular demands, master the foundations of literacy skills and math, independent thinking and problem solving. They say that it’s by the middle of second grade, high performing students begin to stand out in these areas. However, Guru countered the notion stating, “The only reasoning we’re given in this proposal to drop the second grade challenge is a vague notion that first grader’s skills are difficult to access. This rings particularly disingenuous when I see my own first grader differentiated into math, reading, and vocabulary groups within the first months of the school year.” But the changes in the program outlined emphasized a goal to identify more students that fit the academically talented category, which the district admits may be falling through the cracks. By the start of the 2015-2016 school year, the district would plan to develop a plan for serving those students in mathematics and language arts at each of the elementary schools through a curriculum model based on enrichment. A variety of testing and screening assessments would be used to identify students and parents would receive notification. While school board members applauded the proposal, in hearing from parents, agreed further research as to exactly what the plan would look like was needed. However, it then becomes a game of what comes first the chicken or the egg. Again, parents questioned whether the district would have enough resources and staffing to accommodate the push in/pull out type enrichment programs discussed in the proposal. Yet administration was at a loss because without identifying the students, they are uncertain of the number of students who would need the program thus not being able to accommodate how much staffing they would. The committee did recommend having a full-time coordinator added to the staff as was done in the past. The proposal was introduced as an informational report and no action was taken. The committee was asked to bring further detailed information to the board at another meeting in the future.

We talk a lot about what happens after the fact, and although that is extremely important, I want to put a greater emphasis on prevention, through education. Knowing about what happens to addicts and the programs that we have to help them recover is vital information, but we should be also focus on finding the most effective way to prevent people from using heroin in the first place. It’s less costly both in dollars and lives to stop the problem before it starts. I think we can all agree that the best method of prevention is education. We must, not need, to teach our children, at a younger age what the consequences will be if they experiment with heroin, opioids, and drugs in general. At some point over the years our young people were warned less about the dangers of drug use. In the 1970s, there were many aggressive anti-drug campaigns and commercials.

While Benet Academy made its run to the state tournament this season, it had several standout players, three of which averaged double-digit points this season. Of all those players, however, one was at the center of all that made the Redwings tick – that player was junior point guard Kathleen Doyle. Doyle paced the Redwings to the Class 4A state championship this year, averaging 17.5 points, six rebounds and six assists per game in the two-game run at Illinois State University’s Redbird Arena. This season, Doyle averaged 13.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game and for that was named as the Voyager Media Player of the Year. “She works so hard and creates the whole tempo for us,” said Benet coach Joe Kilbride. “Everything runs off of the way she plays for us. She has been so good at facilitating and getting good looks for other people. She is special.” Doyle knows how special Benet

is when all the parts are working as one. “Our offense can be really dangerous when we all play together,” she said. Although Doyle can light up a scoreboard at any moment, Kilbride said she knows she is at her best when she is playing her complete game. “We talk about it and she understands that we are at our best when she is our third leading scorer and she is fine with that, she doesn’t care” Kilbride said. “All Kathleen cares about is winning the game and when you have players who can score like that, but only care about winning the game, you will win a lot of games.” Kilbride said that not only is Doyle a top player, she is also a great teammate. “She is an outstanding player and a great kid, too,” Kilbride said. “The other kids like her.” Doyle not only gets the respect of her coach and teammates, but of those she plays against as well. “Benet is a great team and Kathleen is what makes that team go,” said Bolingbrook coach Chris Smith. “She is an outstanding player.”

girls hoops All-area team

Spartan duo on Voyager Media All-Area team Here is the Voyager Media All-Area girls basketball team for the 2014-15 season.

First Team KATHLEEN DOYLE The Voyager Media Player of the Year from Benet tallied 13.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 182 assists and 98 steals. As the leader of the Redwings full court press and fast break offense, this 5-9 junior point guard is highly recruited, with multiple offers from most of the major conferences. A versatile do-it-all point guard, she jumps center for the Redwings, leads her team in assists and steals, and is second in blocks and rebounds. During the state tourney she led the Wings in scoring, rebounds, and assists and was second in blocks and steals, converting on 46% of her 2FGs and 40% of three-point field goals.

NICOLE EKHOMU JCA junior tallied 18.2 points per game, while grabbing 3.4 rebounds, dishing out 5.5 assists and averaging 4.1 steals per game. Ekhomu shot 60 percent from the field. “Nicole is the top junior in the state,” said JCA coach Kenny Battle. “She is a big-time scorer and she can rebound with the best. She is a team player, a good defender, a good passer and a good shooter.”

EMILY ESHOO Benet senior averaged 16.4 points per game, while having 79 assists, 55 three-pointers and 44 steals for the state champs. Shot 59 percent from two, 37 percent from three and 88 percent from the line. Eshoo is a triple threat who can shoot from distance, make the midrange pull up, or finish at the rim. Also a solid defender, Eshoo was second on the team in assists and first in FT attempts.

In three year varsity career tallied 1,383 points, 326 rebounds, 136 assists, while converting 85% of her FTs.

JAIDA GREEN At 6-2, the Downers North junior possesses the height of a forward, yet she’s a point guard and gives foes fits because she can either beat defenders off the dribble or pull up for a threepointer. Green, a three-year starter who verbally committed to Penn State earlier this year, led the Trojans in scoring at 17.4 points per game and averaged 6.6 rebounds. She was

sidelined late in the year with a shin fracture and missed the postseason. “She only continues to get better,” said Downers North coach Stephan Bolt. “I know she will be looking forward to stepping on the floor, confident to have success as a team for her senior year.”

EMILY SCHRAMEK The senior from Benet recorded 15 points and 5 rebounds per game. She also had 44 assists, 28 steals and 72 three-pointers for the state champs. The six foot senior forward with unlimited range led both the ESCC

and the high-scoring Redwings in three pointers made. Four-year varsity player is co-captain of the winningest team in Benet’s history. Schramek is committed to Northern Michigan University.

Second Team NINA ANDERSON Maine South coach Mark Smith described the senior guard—a threeyear varsity player—as the heart and soul of the team. She was the Hawks’ leader in scoring (309 points; nearly 10 per game), rebounding (140), steals (77) and assists (92).

“That speaks to what she does every night: filling up stat sheet,” Smith said. “She’s humble and just worked tirelessly to become who she is.” Anderson will be playing college basketball at Illinois Wesleyan University, where her father, Bill, played baseball.

MONICA BAREFIELD Junior point guard from Joliet Central averaged 17 points, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. She was All-SouthWest Suburban

14 all-area | from page13 Conference all conference and alltournament at Romeoville “Monica has been a great addition to our team, she is still learning the game and should have a better season next year,” said

T hursday, M arch 19, 2015 | romeovi llebug le.com TY BATTLE Sophomore from JCA averaged 12 points per game, shooting 60 percent from the floor. She grabbed eight rebounds per game, while averaging 3.1 assists and 3.1 steals per game.

“She is the best big in the state and she is only a sophomore,” said coach Kenny Battle. “She is a team player and coach’s dream. She is a force on the glass, a shot blocker, a passer, a scorer and a game-changer.”

JORDAN HEBERG

Plainfield North junior averaged 17 points per game in the season and 25 during regional play. “She led us to the regional championship game for the first time in school history,” North coach Reggie Lemon said.

AVA PORLIER The senior and four-year varsity player led Downers South in scoring at 13.3 points per game and also helped a young Mustangs’ squad secure second place in the West Suburban Conference Gold Division. “She is a great athlete and was such a fierce competitor,” said Downers South coach Lyndsie Long. “Ava contributed so much to our team this year both offensively and defensively. She will be missed tremendously.”

Third Team JANELLE ALBA-GARNER The lone returning starter from the 2013-14 Maine East team that won the CSL North title, Alba-Garner tallied 12.6 points per game, and averaged 7.4 rebounds and 3.1 steals. A three-year starter, Alba-Garner and her sister, Lauryn—who started as a sophomore and, like Janelle, was an All-CSL North selection—should give the Demons one of the most potent backcourt combos in the division next season. “I think she did a really nice job,” said Maine East coach Karol Hanusiak. “She led team in every single category including rebounding. She was a workhorse this year. It was a whole year of everyone learning just to play without those kids (referring to the

seniors on the 2013-14 team) and she found her role which was pretty much doing everything.”

SYDNEY ARLIS Minooka junior averaged 12 points per game, shooting 59 percent from the field. Arlis grabbed 5.3 rebounds per game and had 107 assists this season. She was named the Most Valuable Player of the Southwest Prairie Conference. “Sydney Arlis was the MVP of our conference because of all the positive things she does on the basketball court,” said coach Ray Liberatore. “Her defense and her decision making on the court are better than anyone I’ve ever coached. She’s a tremendous leader and because she’s such a hard worker, she will continue to get better.”

TYLER EVERETT Plainfield South senior had 14.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 76 assists and 74 steals while leading Cougars to program record for wins. She set school records in career scoring, season scoring, points in a game, career assists and career steals. “Tyler was a significant player for our team this year,” South coach Leah Carter said. “We were able to break many team and individual records because of her. She is a great defender and she is good at getting to the basket. Tyler provided our team with a lot of leadership this year and she contributed to every aspect of the game. Tyler strived every day in

LEXI MARIN Romeoville sophomore point guard led the team with 10.5 points per game, 45 three-pointers and 111 assists. She also had 52 steals. “This young lady really pushed herself this past off-season and the efforts paid off,” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “She developed into a true point guard seeing the floor and getting her teammates involved, leading the team in assists. Defensively she worked hard to get better and came in third in steals. The upside for this young lady is tremendous.”

BRITTANY PATRICK Junior transferred in from DeKalb and averaged 10.2 points a game for Bolingbrook. “She was our Energizer bunny,” said Bolingbrook coach Chris Smith. “She provided the spark both on the offensive and defensive standpoint and she handled the primary ball handling duties for us.”

Fourth Team HENNESSEY HANDY Handy, a junior from Plainfield Central, is a three-year starter for the Wildcats. She finished the year with 14.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. “She was our leading scorer as well as leading the team in rebounds,” Central coach Jennifer Murphy said. “She is an amazing student-athlete who offers so much versatility to any team she plays on. She is definitely a

Division I prospect as we are already receiving inquiries about her. I’m excited to see how her game will progress throughout the off-season as I know she will be at the top beginning her senior year.”

HILMA MEDEDOVIC The senior guard, a native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, made the most of her one and only season playing at Niles West and for coach Tony Konsewicz. She averaged 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds while reaching double figures in 20 games for the Wolves, shooting 45 percent from the field and nearly 80 percent from the free-throw line. “She works tremendously hard at her game and strives to be the best player she can be,” Konsewicz said. “She is a highly skilled player with a high basketball IQ. She totally gives of herself to her teammates to make them all better.”

JAHARI SMITH A freshman from Romeoville, Smith was second on the team in scoring at 9.9 points per game and led the team in rebounds at 9.4. She added 48 steals and 27 blocks. “This young lady impressed me this season,” Carrasco said. “Her attitude and work ethic is not freshman-like. She watches more film than any player I have ever coached. Her winning attitude and hard work helped contribute to the success the team had. Her competitive nature will be a driving force for the future of RHS basketball.”

ELISE STOUT Benet junior was key defensively for

Benet during state-title run. She finished with 7.4 points, 82 assists and 77 steals for the Redwings. During the tourney, she shot 63% FGs and 80% from the FT line, notching a career high 19 points in the regional championship, 13 in the sectional championship and 11 points and 9 rebounds in the state semifinal.

PEYTON WINTERS Opponents drove inside the paint on the Trojans’ senior forward at their own risk. She swatted away 423 shots during her three-year varsity career, and averaged a whopping 5.6 blocks per game this season to go along with averages of 7.3 rebounds and nearly 10 points a game. -compiled by Voyager Media sports staff

LEWIS UNIVERSITY

No. 15 Indy ends NCAA tourney run for Lewis men basketball team It was a physical game that featured 50 total fouls and the No. 15 Indianapolis Greyhounds made the most of their chances. Indianapolis drained 35-for41 of their free throw attempts, as the third-seeded Greyhounds earned the 78-59 win over the seventh-seeded Lewis University men’s basketball team in the NCAA Midwest Regional Semifinals at Bellarmine University’s Knights Hall on Sunday (March 15) evening. UIndy junior guard Jordan Loyd went to the line early and often, as he converted all 16 of his free throw attempts and finished with a gamehigh 24 points. Greyhound senior forward Joe Lawson finished with 20 points, followed by 12 points all three pointers - by senior guard Kendal Vieke. UIndy senior forward Brennan McElroy had a game-high 12 rebounds. The Greyhounds (25-5) move on to the ‘Sweet 16’ and will take on top-seeded Bellarmine on Tuesday night. Lewis ends the 2014-15 campaign with a record of 22-9. While Indianapolis went to the free throw line 41 times, the Flyers

reached the charity stripe just 19 times. Lewis, however, managed to hit just 52.6% (10-for-19) of their attempts. Lewis actually had more field goals made (21) than the Greyhounds (18). Lewis senior guard Gabe Williams (Chicago, Ill./Farragut) topped the Flyers with 13 points, followed by 12 points from junior forward Kyle Nelson (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North). Indianapolis led throughout the contest, building a 55-43 lead with 10:25 remaining following a Vieke trifecta. The Flyers went on a 10-1 run over the next 2:15, led by eight points from Williams, to cut the Greyhound advantage to 56-53 with 8:10 left in the game. UIndy answered with a 13-2 run over the next four minutes, highlighted by a pair of threepointers from Lawson to put the game out of reach for the Flyers. Lewis committed just 10 turnovers on the afternoon, but the Greyhounds made them pay, as they scored 21 points off of the Flyer miscues. UIndy also outrebounded the Flyers, 43-28.

The legislation that I’ve been referring to would require the Department of Human Services and the State Board of Education to get involved and develop a three-year plan to fully educate our young people on the seriousness of this drug. The system we have in place doesn’t seem to be working, and I look forward to the plan that the educators develop. I hope this bill passes the House and that my colleagues in the Senate will support it as well. The heroin problem our state is facing is not a partisan issue, not a socioeconomic, race, gender or even age issue. This affects everyone. Unfortunately, we have lost many lives to heroin overdoses; therefore, it is our responsibility as a state to come together to pass this legislation in memory of those we weren’t able to help.

Dear Lauren, Debit cards are great.

Otherwise, you can still overspend. When I made the decision to get intentional with my money, I just used cash. It’s hard to spend it when you don’t have any on you.

Manley encourages residents to carefully select tax preparers Taxpayers encouraged to research who they hire to help them As a member of the Tax Return Preparation Task Force, state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, encourages her constituents to research who they hire to help them with their taxes this season. “If you plan on hiring someone to do your taxes, I encourage you to do research on any potential tax preparer,” said Manley. “As a certified public accountant I understand the importance of making sure that people’s tax

returns are done correctly.” Manley has been a CPA for nearly 2 decades, and, as a result of her background, she was appointed to the Tax Return Preparation Task Force last November. The purpose of the task force is to determine the best way to regulate commercial tax return preparers. The task force issued an official statement to forewarn taxpayers of the potential issues that could arise from hiring an uncertified tax preparer, which can be found on the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation Website at http://www. idfpr.com/DPRdefault.asp. “This task force provided an opportunity for the committee to review what qualifications

are important for tax preparers,” Manley added. “It is important to hire a preparer who is knowledgeable about the ever changing tax laws so that you do not set yourself up for potential issues with the IRS or the Illinois Department of Revenue. If you are unsure about your tax preparer, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the IRS both allow you to review their recommendations for a qualified preparer.” For more information, please contact Manley’s full-time constituent service office at (815) 725-2741 or e-mail repmanley@ gmail.com.
