Thousands of ducks go for a plunge in the DuPage River at the start of last year’s Ducks 4 Bucks Shorewood Rotary fundraiser. wlast year’s Ducks 4 Bucks Shorewood Rotary fundraiser.
A flock of 5,000 ducks will take a plunge into the DuPage River on Aug. 24. These ducks—the small, yellow, rubber kind—will race through the water as part of the Rotary Club of Shorewood’s annual Ducks 4 Bucks fundraiser. After a 15-minute trip downstream, the lucky ducks that reach the collection point first will win cash or other prizes, up to a potential $50,000 “mega prize.” “The duck race is just a fancy way of drawing raffle tickets,” said Dave Weber, a club member and one of the originators of the event. “About a year after we chartered the club, we asked ourselves, ‘How do we raise money?’” Every organization has a golf outing, he said, so they wanted something different. Having familiarity with other duck events, the club thought it would be something it could handle while also bringing attention to the group. “It gives kids and the community something unique to see,” Weber said. “Five thousand is a lot of ducks. When they pour out, it’s very cool.” Now in its ninth year, the fundraiser, See DUCKS, page 23

Alex Czuczuk’s therapy team and the ATI Shorewood staff join Terry Williams with the ATI Foundation in presenting him with a gift package from Notre Dame.
ATI foundation fundraiser can help kids like Alex Last year, Alex Czuczuk was “just going to physical therapy” for treatment of an inflamed tendon in his leg. A student at Minooka High School, the Shorewood teen was getting ready for football season when he began experiencing pain in his leg. About six weeks into his treatment with ATI Physical Therapy in Shorewood for his injury, Alex’s therapist Brian Murphy became concerned about his progress. “He wasn’t getting better and his pain was unchanged,” Murphy said. “Additionally, I felt something in his leg that just wasn’t right, so I suggested that he go back to his physician for another look.” Additional tests ordered by Alex’s physician confirmed Brian’s suspicions: Alex was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma – a bone cancer most common in adolescents. Following Alex’s cancer treatment, and a surgery that removed the cancerous bone in his leg and replaced it with an orthopedic implant, Alex returned to ATI Shorewood. His physical therapy team – Murphy and Jason Adolph -
were happy to have Alex back, and they began to restore his mobility and function. But, that’s not the only thing that Murphy and Adolph did for Alex. They nominated him as a beneficiary for the ATI Foundation and it helped him with medical and physical therapy expenses. “I think we all see Alex as part of the ATI Shorewood family,” said Murphy. “We want to play an active role in his recovery, because we want him to be able to do everything he was doing before. After what he’s been through and all his hard work, it’s what he deserves from us.” The ATI Foundation is committed to aiding children with physical impairments in need of medical resources and funding to enhance and sustain a better quality of life. Alex was the ideal candidate. Recently, Alex’s friends at ATI and the ATI Foundation had another surprise for him. When others from ATI got wind that Alex was Shorewood’s biggest Notre Dame fan, they placed a phone call to the Fighting Irish. ATI Physical Therapy is an
Official Partner of Notre Dame Athletics, and Notre Dame was happy to help and show their support for Alex. Alex was presented with a box full of goodies . . . directly from the Golden Dome. Now, everyone at ATI Shorewood is looking forward to seeing Alex don is new football jersey and sunglasses in the clinic . . . just in time for the start of the season. “We’re all inspired by kids like Alex,” says Julie Gardner, PR Specialist with ATI. “When we can do a little something extra to help make his time at ATI more special, it’s an incredible feeling!” To help raise funds for cases such as Alex, ATI is sponsoring the 10th Annual Crusin-4-Kids Motorcycle Ride, Celebration and Annual Harley Raffle Saturday, Aug. 24. The event begins at 9 a.m. at Harrah’s Casino Joliet, with the first bike out at 10 a.m. Riders will enjoy a scenic cruise with stops in Wilmington, Morris, Utica, Sheridan and Plainfield - - wrapping it up with a celebration at Joliet’s Heroes West Sports Grill.

JJC board passes $45 million bond issue By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
Despite opposition from three of its trustees, the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees pushed through the approval of a $45 million bond sale to pursue its plan to build a multipurpose center on its main campus and the expansion of its north campus in Romeoville. In a 4-3 vote, The JJC Board approved a resolution of intent to issue $45 million in bonds to fund both priority projects outlined in the updated 2013 JJC Master Plan. An additional $25 million in bonds was also issued to be used in the future for separate restructuring purposes. These alternate revenue bonds are supported by students through capital assessment fees and will be based on a per credit hour rate. On July 30, the board approved a $4 increase to be used as a funding strategy for these projects. Students now spend approximately $107 per credit hour. The earliest the fee would go into affect would be September 2014. However, in discussing the bond issue, in the spirit of transparency, Board Chairman Andrew Mihelich, divulged new information received from its financial team and bond counsel that recent reports show that the rates would not be as favorable, and perhaps would increase from the estimate given previously. Though no measure was taken to do so, Mihelich equated the

come through. In addition, Markley reported that the Renaissance Center has been losing money since 2007; there are issues with its day care center; money is lost at the fitness center and enrollment is flat. “It’s unfair and irresponsible to continue to build,” said Markley. “…It is irresponsible to move forward with all these unresolved issues.I am absolutely opposed to the multipurpose center and I think we need to have a complete study done for the Romeoville expansion. If anyone else went to a lender to fund a project that’s what would be required. Why should we be any different.” Trustee Robert Wunderlich reported that all those issues are being considered and that they are waiting on reports from each of those departments and is confident those issues will be resolved, pointing to the fact that as a public institution it is paramount they provide those services. “We are not a private institution, we just can’t cut it out,” said Wunderlich. O’Connell said he has always been in favor of the multipurpose center and expansion but has a problem with the amount projected to build the facility. “We are on thin water and need to scale back a little—we don’t need the Taj Mahal,” said O’Connell. “… I’d like us to rethink this through until we are on a little safer ground. It scares me.” Yet May said for trustees to
paint JJC as financially unstable is “ludicrous.” “Overall, our fiscal health is outstanding,” said May. “This is not about the next two years. We know we have to plan for long-term, and we can still get this done. We could wait, but it will only cost us more money.” Student Trustee Keith Bryant also supported the bond sale, reporting students are in favor and agree with the increase with fees for the betterment of the school. Construction is still a long way off, but with the approval of the bond issue, a planning committee will be formed and a schedule set. The multipurpose facility was included in the college’s 2008 master plan but not implemented. This building, planned for construction on the south side of the college’s main campus on Houbolt Road, is envisioned to include athletics, physical education, and conference center and corporate training space. An executive summary of the plan shows the 40-acre site at the Romeoville campus will more than adequately accommodate a needed academic addition(s) to the west of the existing onestory building, as well as an addition to the east for new student development space. While the existing parking capacity is currently meeting the needs of this location, both parking lots could easily be expanded to the west for future capacity needs, according to the plan.

Local harriers look to contend again By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
A year ago when Minooka finished 19th at the state cross country meet it did so with only one senior in the lineup. In fact, the first runner through the chute a year ago was freshman Morgan Crouch, who finished the race in 68th place in 17:49. Crouch is expected to return this season as a sophomore, along with seniors Haley McNamara, Kaitlyn Chetney, Caleigh Beverly and Haley Renison.
LOCKPORT Just like Minooka, Lockport also is expected to return several runners from its 18th place finish in state a year ago. While the Porters saw its top two harriers leave via graduation, they are slated to return senior Bianca Wiemeyer, who was the third Lockport runner through the chute. She is expected to be joined by seniors Madeline Rodriguez and Aubrey Elwood, as well as juniors Taylor Stortz and Emmie Hahn.
JOLIET WEST The Tigers return a pair of seniors to lead this year’s team in Maria Arzate and Sarah Schalk. They will be joined by sophomore Charlotte Youell and junior Jacqueline Rocha. “We have a strong core of runners that are willing to do anything asked of them to succeed to reach team and individual goals,” said West coach Matt Almon. Even with an admitted lack of depth, Almon hopes the Tigers show improvement at all levels and finish in the top three in the SouthWest Suburban Conference on varsity. “We want to stay healthy and finish the season with our best race of the year,” Almon said.“We have to stay on top of how each runner’s body feels and what they are telling each individual runner so they can stay healthy and not overdo it early in the season, thus turning out their best running at the end. We will also need to focus on running as a team and not as seven individuals.”
JOLIET CENTRAL While the Steelmen did not
advance to the sectional level as a team, they made up all five individual spots at the Minooka Regional. Four of those runners are slated to return, as junior Lauren Cernak and seniors Mayte Perez, Brittany Zavala and Erin Menegon are expected to join her.
JOLIET CATHOLIC While none of the Angels qualified for the Class 2A sectional, they are expected to return six of the seven runners from their sectional-qualifying team. JCA is slated to be seniorheavy with Alex Blotnik, Maddie Kennedy, Chloe Korst and Moira McSteen leading the way. They should be joined by juniors Margaret Bannon and Natalie Nemanich.
BOYS While the Minooka boys placed 16th in the state last season, the Indians graduated five of their seven runners from the state meet, including Joey Santillo, one of the program’s best. See LOCAL, page 13

JOLIET WEST Despite losing a host of runners from last year’s sectionalqualifying team last year in Hugo Hernandez, Paul Koerner, Jake Godlewski, Joey Rios and Mike Skora, the Tigers have several runners to fill the holes. West returns DanTreasure,Sean Youell, Sebastian Arroyo, Patrick
O’Connell and Josh Pearson and ads newcomers Dylan Deardurff, Malcolm Hill. West has only three seniors, but coach Brian Newman said they balance that with a positive, team-centered attitude. With Sandburg set to be one of the state’s top teams, most of the SWSC teams are content fighting
for second. “Sandburg has the most depth and Joliet Central has a strong young group this year,” Newman said. “Our core of juniors is looking good and will continue to get better. Our goals are to qualify as a team for sectionals now that one less team will qualify due to new rules and see
THE BUGLE/SENTINEL AUGUST 21, 2013 if we can get some of our runners qualified for state.” Newman said the Tigers have worked hard all summer to achieve their goals. “We had a group of 20-25 guys who committed to summer running, and it will show as we begin the season,” Newman said. “It’s a smart group who works

hard and is really a lot of fun to be around. I can’t wait for the season to begin. We have to get the most out of our hardest workouts, keeping the easy days easy, and paying attention to injuries early on to speed up recovery.” Follow Mark @2Mark_My_Words mark@buglenewspapers.com

Joliet Central boys soccer team young, but skilled By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
While the Joliet Steelmen figure to have an inexperienced team coming back this year with only three returning varsity starters, coach Eduardo Contreras still expects the team to compete come post season. “We are young,” Contreras said.
“We have lost a lot of kids to club, transfers and some ineligibility. We have a lot of juniors on the team, but they are willing to learn. Right now, we are not so worried about how we do at the beginning of the season as long as we progress and get better for the playoffs.” The post season has been the Achilles’ heel for Central, as
they have failed to make a deep run despite successful regular seasons. “The last four or five years we have done well and have been snake bitten in the playoffs,” Contreras said. “This year, the focus is just getting better each game and be ready for the playoffs. We have been too good to be floundering in the playoffs like we have the last couple of years.” With little experience back from the previous season, the Steelmen will look to get its scoring from a senior newcomer to the program. “Sergio Clavel will probably be our top goal scorer,” Contreras said.“He is very offensive minded. He transferred in last year in late August from North Carolina and he will be our focal point up top.” The team knows their inexperience will haunt them early, but Contreras is fine with taking losses if the team learns. “We will be inexperienced, but the talent will be there. We may take some lumps early in the year,” he said. “Sure, we want to win every game, everyone does, but if we go in the game and don’t make the mistakes we do in practice or if we do make mistakes in games to learn from them. We have to tell the kids he big picture. Our goal is to go deep in the playoffs. We get paid in the playoffs, everything before that is just on the job training.” Contreras feels he has a schedule in place to help the young team get ready. “We have a schedule that gets us ready for the post season,” he said. “Not only in conference, but in non-conference, we play the Mortons and the Naperville schools. We don’t shy away from anybody. We will play anyone who will play us.” Central is again in the Reavis Windy City Classic, something they have won three of the last six years. That success over the years has created a good problem for the coaches, as the numbers in the program continue to rise. This year, more than 100 players tried out for the freshman and sophomore teams alone. See SOCCER, page 15
Sports SOCCER Continued from page 14 “We had a little over 100 kids for the two lower levels and that is great to see,” Contreras said. “We have kids who have had older brothers come through and we feel we are always a team to beat and there are a lot of kids that want that Steelmen across the chest.”
LOCKPORT
Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff
Armando Pantaja (right) and Edgar Lopez will be two of the key players for Joliet Central this season.
After a season a year ago where the Porters tied as many game as it won, posting a record of 9-1-9 Lockport returns Dan Michalik, Jack Dilger and Sean McCaffrey and adds newcomers Gozie and Kezie Nwachucku. Porter coach Chris Beal said the lack of goal scoring will be a team weakness, while the strength will lie in the midfielders. Beal feels that Sandburg will be the favorites, but that the Porters will compete. “Our goal is to improve all season, finish in the top two of conference and advance to sectional play,” Beal said. “We can achieve these goals with hard work and lot of training.” Follow Mark @2Mark_My_Words mark@buglenewspapers.com

Fall season offers plenty to look forward to With the fall season fast a p p ro a ch i n g , there are a lot of things across the Voyager Media c ove ra ge area that I am looking forward to.
FOOTBALL The most intriguing thing to me this year is to see where the big three recruits end up. Bolingbrook defensive back Parrker Westphal, Plainfield South linebacker Clifton Garrett and Notre Dame running back Chris James are all getting recruited by major Division-I programs. In fact, all are being recruited by my favorite team, the Tennessee Volunteers, which
makes things that much more interesting. Time will tell how good all three play their final season and where they end up playing, as well as when they decide to sign. •I am also looking forward to seeing if a team can return to the state finals after we were shut out last year. Maine South, Benet and JCA all came close last year. Maine South and JCA lose their star players in Matt Alviti and Ty Isaac, respectively, but Benet returns quarterback Jack Beneventi. •Finally, I am anxious to see what team will make a surprise run this year. Last year it was Downers North in both the regular season and the playoffs, as the Trojans went all the way to the final eight. Not many thought they would even make the playoffs.
VOLLEYBALL Coming off back-to-back state titles, all eyes will be on Benet to see if it can three-peat. After losing a bunch of Division-I players from the team two years ago, the Redwings were just as strong last year. They have some big losses again this year but return both middles and will be a tough out in the playoffs once again. •JCA is a team that has also had a lot of success in recent years, but came up short of state last year. The Angels are another team that always seems to reload, but it will be tough for them to get past Wheaton St. Francis. •The Voyager Media volleyball teams have had some playoff success in recent years in addition to Benet and JCA and it will be interesting to see if that will continue again. Niles West has won a pair of regionals, but lost a lot of those players. They do return Olivia Rusek though. Plainfield North won a regional
last year with a very young team and could be a darkhorse to rival Benet in the sectional.
SOCCER The DuPage area has been strong in recent years in boys soccer and I expect to see more of the same this year. I am looking forward to seeing if any of them can make a run at a state title. Lisle has been a contender in 1A, while Benet, Downers South and Downers North have had strong programs in 3A. •Last year the Southwest Prairie Conference got over the hump and got a regional title. However, it was Romeoville who did it. The Spartans have some players coming back as they go for a repeat performance. •Speaking of repeat, Plainfield Central looks for an unbelievable eighth straight SPC title. The Wildcats have proven themselves year after year, but still are looking for a regional title.
OTHER SPORTS The biggest thing in any other sport that I am excited about is to see how high Downers North swimming can finish. With the Sims sisters and others who have had success, the sky is the limit for the Trojans. •Our cross country teams have had some big time success in recent years, especially on the boys side. Last year Maine South was fifth, Plainfield South sixth and Minooka 16th. All three squads suffered some losses, but I will be interested to see if they can match last year’s success. We had four girls teams advance to state in Maine South, Downers South, Lockport and Minooka and time will tell if the total can be matched or surpassed this year. •I am also looking forward to seeing what individuals step up in golf and tennis.

Logano making a case for the Chase Add another name to the Chase conversation. Joey Logano started Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from the pole, and after a convoluted mix of strategy and racing incidents, it was Logano who claimed the victory and established himself as a contender for a berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The victory was Logano’s first of the season, his first at Michigan, his first for Penske Racing and the third of his career. Kevin Harvick ran second, followed by Kurt Busch, Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer. The victory moved Logano from 16th to 13th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings, 17 points out of 10 place.The youngest winner in MIS history also is in play for a Wild Card, with two spots available
to the drivers in positions 11-20 in the standings with the most victories. “This is huge for our Chase hopes,” Logano said. “We needed this to have a shot at getting in the Chase. We’re close now, but we can’t make any mistakes.This sure does help a lot.” Mark Martin took off after a restart on Lap 178, as Kurt Busch, Logano and Harvick battled for the second spot behind him. But Martin was short on field, and after the running order shuffled out with Logano in second and Harvick in third, the pursuers began to close in on the leader. But Logano, 23, who came to the public eye as a 14-year-old with praise from the 54-year-old Martin, couldn’t make the pass for the lead, even though Martin was trying mightily to save fuel. “I noticed he was lifting early,

because I was catching him on entry (into the corners),” Logano said. “He was able to pull me on exit. I wanted to get by him, because I knew the 29 (Harvick) was fast, too… “It is so cool to be here in Victory Lane. It’s crazy racing Mark Martin, my childhood hero. I was able to race against him in Pocono last year for the win. It is so cool racing against a guy like that But when Martin slowed in Turn 3 on Lap 197 and brought
his car to pit road for fuel, Logano shot past him into the lead with Harvick in hot pursuit. Logano held the top spot for the final four laps and took the checkered flag by 1.018 seconds over the No. 29 Chevrolet. To Harvick,the race was decided on the final restart. Harvick lined up inside Martin with Logano’s No. 22 Ford behind the No. 29 Chevy. Series leader Jimmie Johnson couldn’t exorcise his Michigan
jinx. After wrecking his primary car in Saturday’s practice, Johnson started Sunday’s race from the rear of the field in a backup car. He took the lead on Lap 43 during a cycle of green-flag pit stops, but shortly thereafter Johnson exited the race because of an engine failure. After Sunday’s race, the two cars are tied for the final Wild Card spot, with the No. 56, driven by Martin Truex Jr. holding the tiebreaker based on quality of finishes.

Is coworker a liar or just unrealistic? Q.I work with a person who was just promoted to lead. My problem is he always promises to get tasks I need done and then makes excuses. We just had someone quit, and I know he has a lot on his plate, but I am tired of him lying. Is there a way to get him to deliver what he promises? A.Yes, but you have to find out what is realistic for him to promise.Your coworker sounds like a classic case of over promise and under deliver. The problem is he can’t stand to disappoint anyone, including you. I know it seems counterintuitive that a person who doesn’t want to disappoint others ends up breaking so many promises. From
your coworker’s perspective, immediate approval is much more powerful than long-term conflict. When people ask him to help, he keeps saying “You bet!” and thus feels popular. In his mind he probably thinks he can do everything he promises. Then he ends up facing a stack of work even Superman would find daunting. Right up to the moment he fails to deliver, he most likely tells himself he’ll get it done. Unfortunately, if you try to get him to apologize after he drops your ball, you’ll discover he is full of more excuses than accountability. Remember this is a guy who doesn’t want anyone to
be mad at him. Keep in mind, he doesn’t intend to lie to you, he is just bad at judging his limits. Instead of accusing him of lying, you need to help him be realistic if you want to avoid disappointment. Next time you ask him for help, tell him point blank you need him to evaluate what else he has on his plate. Make it clear that you’ll be much less upset if he sets a realistic but longer time frame than if he fails to deliver. You’ll find that a little empathy with him will go a long way.Think of times you also were overly optimistic about your promises. Make it clear you appreciate that his heart is in the right place when he offers to help. Make it equally clear that you know he doesn’t want to get a reputation for not following through on promises.
Many adults simply don’t do what psychologists refer to as causal thinking. They are unable to see that if they do action A, they will set in motion a chain of events where B, C and D logically follow. The ability to see the consequences of our actions in the future is actually a mature skill that few adults possess. Most adults think in younger and more emotional ways about the future. Your coworker thinks, “If I tell everyone I would help, everyone will like me and that makes me feel good right now.” He doesn’t think long-term about the consequences of constantly disappointing his team. Many of my clients that have learned causal thinking get upset with people at work and ask me during sessions, “What are
Buying a house with 403(b) money Dear Dave, Should I take advantage of a 403(b) withdrawal in order to buy a house? Bryan Dear Bryan, I wouldn’t do that because it really doesn’t accomplish anything. The only money you can take out is what you’ve put in, and any growth you’ve experienced has to stay in there. Basically, it’s a retirement plan, and I wouldn’t monkey around with retirement money to buy a
home. My advice is to make sure you’re debt-free and have three to six months of expenses set aside in an emergency fund. Once you’ve taken care of those issues, you can pile up some cash in a money market account toward purchasing a home. You won’t earn a lot, but it’s a safe place to park your cash when you’re saving up for a big purchase.
When it comes to saving and investing, I’m a big fan of mutual funds. The problem in this scenario is that if you start sticking money in mutual funds, then the market is down when you’re ready to buy, you could’ve
lost some money. That’s not the route I’d want to go if I’m in your shoes, Bryan. I’d forego the opportunity to make money in order to keep it safe for this goal. —Dave
they thinking to act like this?” I point out that the reality is their coworkers aren’t thinking. When you point out the negative consequences to your coworker’s behavior, his need for approval will help him become realistic. You’ll enjoy being able to count on him. He’ll learn that long-term trust beats short-term popularity any day!

Rotary Club of Shorewood Treasurer Brian Cook and his family sold ducks at this year’s Crossroads Fest Parade.
DUCKS Continued from page 1 held from noon to 3 p.m. at Seil Road Park, is a family event that includes music, food, bags and more before the duck drop, slated for 2:12 p.m. “Expect some family fun,” said Diane Lambert, a co-chair for this year’s event. “We’ll have festivities for the kids, like face painting and games. It’s mostly kid-orientated.” All 5,000 ducks are up for adoption both online and at a number of locations throughout Shorewood. Individuals can purchase a duck for $5 or a “Quack Pack” of five ducks for $20. All proceeds raised from the event benefits the charities and community projects supported by the Rotary. Projects include providing underprivileged youth with backpacks, school supplies and healthy snacks, Lambert said.
Each Rotary member is trying to sell 200 ducks, and Lambert recently enlisted the help of her twin 6-year-old granddaughters. They sold ducks outside of the Shorewood Home Depot. The cute and outgoing salesgirls were hard for people to resist, she said, adding the community is responding well to the club’s mission. “They want to know where the money is going, and it stays local,” she said. “A lot of people’s responses have been, ‘anything for the kids.’ That’s what has helped me sell a lot of tickets.” To adopt a duck as part of the Rotary Club of Shorewood’s Ducks 4 Bucks fundraiser, visit www.ducks4bucks.com or visit a Duck Adoption Center, which includes First Federal Savings Bank and the Shorewood-Troy Public Library in Shorewood and Voyager Media Publications, 23856 Andrew Road (east of Route 59 and north of 127th Street) in Plainfield. Ducks also can be adopted during the event itself.
