Sidewalk chalk effort spreads positive messages

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

If you wake this morning feeling a little down, you might want take a walk to raise your spirits.And while the fresh air and exercise will do your body good, the youth groups at Christ Community Church will be leaving signs of inspiration, right there on the sidewalk.

Messages such as “Life is a gift” and “You can make an impact,” have been appearing all over town on paths and walkways, parking lots and playgrounds.

StuCo, the junior high and high school student community associated with Christ Community Church of Shorewood, is “chalking the block” over the next month, writing messages of hope, goodwill and inspiration for passersby to read and enjoy.

A similar effort gained fanfare in the City of Chicago earlier this year. The movement, started by a sister church in the Edgewater neighborhood, encouraged others

to chalk messages on public spaces, particularly those well-traveled.

In Chicago, it was often routes to L stations and other public transportation.

Spread by social media such as Twitter and Facebook, members of the Christ Community church post a message for the day, and followers can then write that message on the concrete that are both positive and encouraging. The messages are not typically religious.

StuCo is open to students in middle school and high school and meets in Shorewood at 7 p.m. on Thursdays at various Christ Community church locations.

Some locations host an Art’s service complete with worship, teaching, communion and more. Others host a small group format, with students breaking up into age and gender specific groups, and some are a combination of both.

Architects, residents discuss ShorewoodTroy Library building

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Discussions surrounding a potential new Shorewood-Troy Library building continued last week as architects of the idea met with designers of the structure itself.

“It was really just a ‘getting-toknow-you’ session,” said Library Director Jennie Mills, but added that representatives from Nagle Hartray Architects, the firm chosen to draw up preliminary plans for a modern library building, hope to have a rough draft of it for public comment later this fall.

Mills has cited a lack of space sufficient to serve the library’s 19,000 patrons, as well as limitations on both space and electricity in the current building, which have

“It was really just a

‘getting-to-know-you’ session,” Jennie Mills, library director compromised the library’s ability to meet its patrons’ technology needs. Earlier this year, the library’s building consultants completed research to determine, among other things, the amount of space needed and the technology requirements.

Community focus groups were hosted to get input on the services and accommodations patrons would most like to see in place.

Interested parties can get involved in the process by becoming members of the

Shorewood-Troy Library Citizen’s Advisory Committee.

The citizen’s group will lead the charge of support for an April 2013 referendum to fund completion of a new library building, as well as continue ongoing discussions about the areas of greatest need, the plans the architects put forth, and community fundraising options.

Representatives from Nagle Hartray will be at the general opening meeting of the Citizen’s Advisory committee at 7 p.m.

Sept. 18 at the Troy Township Building.

“They’ll be discussing their process and getting a little feedback from potential Citizen’s group members.” Mills said.

Public information sessions will be scheduled as well, but firm dates have not yet been set.

Preserving Our Past Ogren-Reed Home mixes historical fact, local myth Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

One look at the Ogren-Reed Homestead and it is obvious that the architecture is from a bygone era. Its steeply pitched roof, Oriel window and decorative brickwork are unlike any of the surrounding houses.

And it was that uniqueness which initially prompted Darcy Reed to purchase the home 15 years ago.

“The house was in a neighborhood with a lot of stretch ranches, and what I was really after was one of those,” Reed said. “When we saw that house, we thought it was amazing.”

The house, built in the 1920s, is an example of Tudor Revival architecture, which was popular between 1910 and 1940. The style is reminiscent

Jonathan Samples/Staff Reporter

The Ogren-Reed Homestead’s steep roof, Oriel window and decorative brickwork is representative of early 20th-century Tudor Revival architecture.

of architectural styles of early 16th-century Tudor England, and it is the main reason the home was added to the Will County Register of Historic Landmarks

in 2009.

However, for Reed, the house is much more than a pristine example of a turn-of-the century architectural style. For

her, stories about the home’s original owners, Henry and Selma Ogren, and the house itself offer a glimpse at the eras of prohibition and the Great Depression.

“There’s a tunnel from the Crystal Lawns club house to my basement,” Reed speculated. “It was a little speakeasy during the depression, during prohibition.

What else would it have been used for?”

Of course, Reed admits that those stories have been passed on to her by neighbors who have lived in the area for many years. However, she has uncovered some evidence to suggest there’s something to the tale.

Not long after purchasing the house, Reed was planting a bush in her front yard.That’s when an area of ground gave way and fell into a deep hole.

“All I could think was ‘you heard there was a tunnel here, and if you find it you have to fix it,’” Reed said with a laugh.

“I wasn’t ready for that. So I put the bush there, and I covered it up.”

Regardless of whether the stories about her home are true, they intrigued Reed and prompted her to file an application to have her home placed on the Will County Register of Historic Places.

Not long after she filed the application, it was added.

Staff from the Will County Historic Preservation Commission came out to assess the property. They concluded that the home did not appear to be “reflective of a significant local, state or national event,” but the home’s architecture was See OGREN-REED, page 10

Peterson trial nears end

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Fraught with speculation, numerous spectacles and a bizarre stance by its jury, the trial of Drew Peterson is drawing near an end.

Closing arguments are set for this week as jurors will set out to deliberate on the case that accuses Peterson of killing his third wife Kathleen Savio.

It was no surprise that Peterson himself did not take the stand, however Attorney Harry Smith’s appearance overshadowed even, son Tom Peterson’s testimony who said he believed in his father’s innocence. Smith represented Savio in divorce proceedings against Drew Peterson, and who was also consulted for Stacy Peterson, Drew’s fourth wife who

has gone missing.

“Though defense attorneys initially fought to keep Smith from testifying for the prosecution, they ultimately decided to call him,primarily to demonstrate that Stacy Peterson’s statements that Drew killed Savio were financially motivated,” explained Huma Zia, JD, Director of Paralegal Studies at Lewis University, who is analyzing the case for the Bugle.

It appears the defense’s case is relying on the fact there is no physical evidence tying Peterson to the death of Savio, while prosecutors are relying only on hearsay testimony and circumstantial evidence.

“In fact, the defense may even argue that the prosecutors are speculating on how Kathleen Savio died,” said Zia.“For instance, defense attorneys have tried to

emphasize that Peterson’s DNA was not found under Savio’s fingernails as would be expected if she was attacked. In addition, the defense brought out the fact that Peterson had no defensive wounds, which most likely would occur if Peterson did attack Savio.”

While the prosecution’s case is built on circumstantial evidence, it can be enough to show reasonable doubt and convince the jury to render a not guilty verdict, explains Zia. “Again,physical evidence plays a very important role in convincing jury members of a defendant’s guilt. However, just because there may be no direct physical evidence to show Peterson killed Savio, jury members can certainly See PETERSON, page 5

Biggert, Foster sit down for first debate of new 11th district

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Veteran politicians squared off to represent a new congressional district, in one of the earliest of the local political debates.

Rep. Judi Biggert, R-Hinsdale, and former Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, who once represented the old 11th district, sat down with Fox Chicago News reporters for a debate in August, where they offered up plenty of opinion, though little solution, for the area’s woes.

Both candidates are vying for the seat in the newly formed 11th district, which takes in

portions of the western suburbs including Hinsdale, Woodridge, Bolingbrook, Naperville, Aurora, Plainfield and Joliet.

Biggert, who has served Congress for 13 years, said the biggest problem right now is partisan politics, and touted herself as one of the most willing to reach a hand across the aisle.

“We are not going to be able to solve any problems if we cannot get together for these major, major events happening,” she said. “Social Security, Medicare, energy, even education has become a partisan issue.”

She indicated that priorities

would include economic growth and job creations, as well as a reduction of debt.

Foster, a former Fermilab physicist and member of Congress from 2008-2011 said the biggest problems stem from the “Ryan Budget,” which he insisted would “crush the middle class” by privatizing social security and increasing healthcare costs on seniors.

“It all exists to maintain the tax cuts on the very rich… and asks the middle class to bear all the burden,” he said.

Those tax cuts took center See DEBATE, page 10

Boy faces adult charges in Joliet Central shooting

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The Will County States Attorney’s Office is seeking to charge a 15-year-old Joliet Central High School student as an adult after his alleged involvement in a shooting outside the school Monday.

States Attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie said the severity of the allegations against the juvenile are factoring into their decision to file adult charges. Pelkie said the suspect is facing two counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated discharge of a weapon and two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

PETERSON Continued from page 4 rely on witness testimony instead and find that reliable enough to convict,” said Zia. Zia expects closing arguments to again emphasize the fact that hearsay testimony is central to this case, with the prosecution upholding that their witnesses made credible and compelling statements that illustrated Peterson killed Savio and with the defense stressing this is “just” hearsay testimony.

She believes that the prosecutors will further show

“We have to hold a hearing and present probable cause so that we can transfer him into adult court,” Pelkie said.“The charges are very serious.The allegations are that it is a gang-related incident. There were students around at the time.

Obviously it is a very serious incident, and that all plays into the decision.”

According to a Joliet Central press release, a staff member heard gunfire outside the school around 4:05 p.m.At that time, the school went on lockdown and waited for police to arrive. School representatives confirmed that an altercation did take place in front of Joliet Central and that at least one shot was fired.

that the initial cause of death, which was accidental, was made hastily and incorrectly and that the police did not do a good job investigating the death of Savio.

The defense will again emphasize that there is no direct evidence to link that Drew Peterson killed her and will further bring out that their pathologist’s testimony that Savio’s death was accidental is the true cause of death and to suggest otherwise is pure speculation.

The prosecution could not

JolietTownship Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy said she was pleased with the response of Joliet Central Principal John Randich and the Joliet Police Department.

“Working collaboratively, the JTHS staff and Joliet Police Department secured the scene, gathered vital information, and the police department made an arrest before the night’s end,” McCarthy said.

Pelkie said the suspect will be in juvenile court on Sept. 25, and at that time the judge will decide whether or not to transfer him into adult court. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

show that Peterson was present during the time of her death.

However, there were more than 30 witnesses on their side, albeit giving hearsay testimony.

Zia explains that once closing arguments are complete, the judge will set jury instructions which in this case, the judge will need to clarify the concept of hearsay evidence. The jury will then start deliberation. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Fest showcases Christian music

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

It has become an anticipated annual, family-fun Christian musical event that brings the community together as well as draws crowds from throughout Illinois and Indiana. Bolingbrook’s JOYFEST is set to kickoff.

The free event will take place behind Bolingbrook’s Village Hall located at 375 Briarcliff, from noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8.

According to the Chairman of the Planning Committee Sheldon Watts there is a lineup of performers including choirs and praise teams from many of the local churches, with gospel artists such as Bobby Lee, Keshia McFarland, Donald “Buster” Woods & G3,

Biggert said she would, but wanted those cuts to remain in place for everyone, regardless of income level.

“This is not a time to tax anyone,” she said, adding that small business owners are the

In addition, there will be numerous activities for children including two large inflatable bounce houses, a kids zone with games and activities, a climbing wall, and the Fountaindale Library Book Mobile / puppet show.

Originally, before its inception in 1998, the Bolingbrook Christian community sponsored a small indoor concert at James Addams Middle School called Gospel Fest at the time. According to Watts, JOYFEST was founded by local residents, Leroy Brown, Christen Parker and Pastor

ones who create jobs, and they “would really be hurt by this tax.”

Foster, who while in office was reported to be the wealthiest member of congress at some $18 million of net worth, said he would support maintaining the cuts for the middle class, but not the very rich.

“The tax cuts were promised to generate job growth, but did not,” he said. “If you follow the money, when you give a dollar to a very wealthy person, they won’t typically put it back into the local economy.” Rather, he said the tax benefits ended up in overseas accounts and in luxury purchases, and therefore,

“The event allowed Christians within the Bolingbrook area to unite under one banner,” explained Watts. “Support across the community increased as well.

Over the next several years the decision to expand the festival evolved into what we know today as JOYFEST.” In 2000, a committee consisting of Brown, Parker, Delorise Ivy, among others, began planning for the first JOYFEST and the decision to take the festival outdoors was birthed. At the same time a decision to build an outdoor See JOYFEST, page 20

the cuts didn’t accomplish their task.

On the subject of taxes,neither candidate had yet to release their tax records, though both said in the debate they would be more than happy to do so. With Foster not currently seated in Congress, it has been reported that Biggert is the wealthiest member, at a net worth of about $5.5 million.

On the topic of Obamacare, Biggert said she would vote to repeal the plan and replace it with one that offers lowered costs and more access to people.

According to the 2008 staff report, “The house is an excellent example of Tudor Revival Architecture. In its neighborhood, it is the only house of its kind.”

On Jan. 15, 2009, the home was added to the register. Reed was ecstatic.

“I was very glad to get it,” Reed said. “I like keeping a record of the old things. It’s museums and history and all that. It’s important.”

businesses or even individuals could group themselves together as a pool, in order to secure better rates. She also indicated a need for health savings accounts, security for those with pre-existing conditions, and a continuation of coverage across state lines.

Foster, who supported the Obamacare bill while he was in office, said he “didn’t vote for it with the idea that it was perfect.”

He indicated he’d like to see transparency on the provider side, with a requirement to post a price list on the internet, and a solid approach to the dilemma for those with pre-existing conditions.

and if there’s any treasures in there, I’d gladly split them with whoever helps,” Reed said with a laugh.

Regardless of whether the stories are true, the Ogren-Reed Homestead is still a valuable piece of Will County’s past. It is that value that adds to the home’s intrigue and leads Reed and others to wonder: is the house a piece of Will County’s prohibition history, or are the stories about hidden tunnels and tucked-away speakeasies just a great story for residents of the quiet Crystal Lawns community? jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Don’t let the cat out of the bag. Show the trust that you’ve earned has been well founded by keeping confidential information to yourself in the week ahead. Problems won’t be of concern if you keep your cool.

A good cheering section will keep you at your best.

Placing yourself among supportive parties will improve your chances of success this week. Tame urges to spend money on frivolous items.

Optimism can be contagious. Those who see the glass half full may boost your confidence in the week ahead, while pessimism could sap your energy.

Remember to emulate the little engine that could.

Being hospitable is one thing, being a doormat is another.

Don’t let someone take advantage of your kind nature this week by asking for too much. Know when to draw the line - and by all means draw it.

Don’t put your eggs all in one basket. Relying on just one set of events to go your way lowers your chances of success, but having a backup plan improves the odds in the upcoming week. Be sure to spend wisely.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Your recent successes may have you feeling invulnerable in the week to come. Stay focused, but you should avoid taking on tasks that are beyond your abilities.

Not every itch needs to be scratched. The dull grind may have you yearning for high adventure, but keep in mind that boring routines pay the bills. Put fantasies into low gear this week.

Focus on what you can do, rather than what you can’t. No one can do it all. Simply because some tasks are beyond your means does not make you a failure. Play upon your strengths in the week ahead.

Search for the facts. Put money to work for you in the week to come. You can rely on information even when someone has put a spin on it or do some digging on your own to uncover the naked truth.

Be the voice of reason this week. Friends or loved ones may have their heads in the clouds as they pursue a foolish venture. Bring them back to earth with some good old-fashioned sound advice and counseling.

Rewards don’t always outweigh the risks in the week ahead.

Don’t jeopardize your financial security by taking unnecessary gambles. Spend your hard earned cash only on the essentials and let others rely on Lady Luck.

If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it. This week, avoid trying to stir things up just to break up the monotony as you may cause more harm than good. Tried and true methods always work because they’re proven.

Mistakes costly for Joliet West

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor Online @ buglenewspapers.com Video

Joliet West is ready to turn the corner.

That was shown Friday night at Plainfield South. However, mistakes were too much to overcome in a 31-27 loss.

“We just made too many mistakes, that’s the bottom line,” West head coach Jason Aubry said. “You can’t make that many mistakes and think you are going to win a football game.”

The Tigers trailed five different times in the game and came back to answer four of those times.

The lone time they didn’t was at the end of the game when they were stopped on fourth-and-18 from the South 22-yard line.

“I loved the way we battled,” Aubry said. “We were within striking distance of the end zone. We were close to putting the ball in, but we don’t want to be in that position.”

Keeping West in the game was quarterbackAshton McCullough.

McCullough completed just six passes for the game, but he made them count, throwing for 206 yards and two touchdowns.

He threw touchdown passes of 69 yards to Niko Messino (3 catches, 108 yards) and 48 yards to Jordan Brown.

“He absolutely (made some big plays),” Aubry said of McCullough. “He has been there all summer and has done everything we ask him to do. He did the job tonight and made some nice plays. All in all, he played well and we love what he brings with the athleticism and the arm.”

Another big playmaker was Korey Rogers, who had a 76yard touchdown run in the second quarter to tie the game

at 7-7. However, he was held to just 11 yards in the second half and finished with 121 on 19 carries.

“We have big time playmakers,” Aubry said.“We just have to find a way to get the ball in those playmakers hands so they can make things happen.”

While the big plays were in abundance, the ball-control drives weren’t, except for a score at the end of the first half on a 1-yard plunge by Rogers. A two-point pass from McCullough to Rogers made it

15-14 West at the half.

“We made too many mistakes

where we couldn’t continue drives,” Aubry said. “We had the one long drive and the other times we had one big play where we scored on. It goes back to mistakes.”

The Tigers competed well overall with a Cougars team that has been in the playoffs the past two years. They had the lead until South scored with 1:42 left in the game.

Facing a fourt-and-10 from their own 30, McCullough picked up a bad snap and found Ronald Banner for a 40-yard

gain. The Cougar defense was able to hold though thanks to a couple of broken up passes and a sack by Clifton Garrett.

“Looking at Plainfield South on film, we knew they were going to be a good team,” Aubry stated. “They went up against a good team in Bolingbrook last week and stayed right in there for the first half. I think Plainfield South would do real good in our conference this year.”

Lewis names AD

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Last week Lewis University announced its sixth Athletic Director in school history.

Dr. John Planek is taking over the post vacated by Dan Schumacher and has plenty of experience that he is bringing with him.

LEWIS “I am confident the athletic department will continue its excellence,” Planek said. “I hope I can add something to this already great program. I am humbled and honored and plan to continue the tradition of Lewis being one of the best Division II schools in the country.”

Planek most recently spent 12 years as the Athletic Director at Loyola University in Chicago, and before that was the Athletic Director at St. Ignatius College Prep and before that was an Associate Athletic Director at DePaul University.

His experiences should help him along at Lewis.

“I think I have a pretty broad area of expertise because I’ve been in the business awhile, Planek said. “I think student athlete academic achievement is probably a good area. I understand the enterprise of higher education and I have been around it a long time.

That’s something I can zero in on and be successful.”

It also helps to have that experience in the Chicagoland area, both collegiately and at the high school level.

“I know a number of high school coaches and I was a high school athletic director, so I know the different high schools,” Planek said. I know the Catholic League well with my experiences with working with them.”

For right now, Planek plans on keeping things as is, especially regarding the coaching staffs.

“My role as I start here is one of observations,” Planek said. “I want to see what’s happening with our programs.

A great athletic director helps his coaches and makes them better. If there are areas of improvement, I hope I can help

those coaches in those areas. It is premature to make wholesale changes without knowing the talent of the staff.”

One of the changes that many are waiting for is the addition of a football team.

However, it may still be a few years away.

“I think there is no secret that there is a football field on our campus,” Planek stated. “It’s hard to hide that green space with the Lewis endzone. That will get done at a pace that makes sense to Lewis and the administration. I think that it is going to be done carefully and it has to make sense. It is going to be done in a prudent, costeffective manner over a period of time.”

Planek will also be looking into growing the facilities as the attendance at the school continues to skyrocket. The most immediate changes may take place with the weight room and coaches offices. He had a key part of some of the facility upgrades while at Loyola.

“As you grow teams and as you grow sports, your facilities then have to be looked at,” Planek said. “There may be a need for X amount of offices for coaches and we are at Y now. Also, I want to see how we measure up against other universities and what we need to do different. It’s always evolving in intercollegiate athletics. We participate in one of the best conferences in our division and we have to figure out how we keep that excellence.”

Lewis remains the lone Chicago-area Division II school, which has benefitted it athletically over the years.

With the growth of the division and the Great Lakes Valley Conference, Planek is ready for that to change.

“I think Lewis already has done a nice job of taking advantage of that,” Planek said.“I also think you will see schools that have participated at the NAIA level go to the Division II level.You have already seen that with schools like McKendree and I think that will continue. The conference has already expanded greatly in recent years and I think you will see that continue.”

Lewis President,Brother James Gaffney, is looking forward to

what Planek has to offer.

“This is our sixth AD in 81 years,” Gaffney said. “We feel (Planek’s) leadership is a great fit for Lewis. His extensive background serving at other fine Catholic institutions, such as DePaul and Loyola, and his dedication to the total development of student-athletes, including their academic success and character growth, makes him a perfect fit for not only our University, but also our mission.” staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Contract signed, Truex Jr. readies for the Chase

By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service

No more Mr. Nice Guy. Team owner Michael Waltrip promised that fans will see a different Martin Truex Jr. once the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup starts two weeks from now at Chicagoland Speedway.

“We’ve had to be conservative over the last few weeks to get into this Chase,” Waltrip said Friday at an announcement of a multiyear contract extension for Truex and his primary sponsor, NAPA Auto Parts. “We’re not going to be that way when the Chase starts.

“Tony (Stewart) proved last year that you can make some special things happen in that 10week run.”

Founded in 2007, MWR has never been part of a previous Chase, but the organization is all but certain to land both Truex (fifth in the standings) and Clint Bowyer (sixth) in NASCAR’s version of the playoffs. Both drivers can clinch Chase spots in Sunday’s Advocare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

“They have a very fine football team. They are fast and physical and did some outstanding things on the field tonight. They have

TENNIS Continued from page 15 carried Minooka, as they won three of four spots.

Alyssa Aspan and Lacey Viano teamed up at No. 1 doubles to win 6-1, 6-2, Norton and Muir teamed up again for a 5-7, 6-4, 11-9 win at No. 3.

At No.4 doubles, Kirkpatrick and Jamie Huff won 6-2, 6-2.

The doubles positions are what Minooka coach Jessica Carter said the team is working on.

“We are still tweaking the lineup,” Carter said. “We have a lot of girls around the same talent level, so we are trying to see who plays well in what spots.

The kids are very coachable and I am already seeing them getting better.”

If Truex finishes 14th or better, he’s in. Bowyer can clinch with a finish of 11th. Contract in hand, Truex thinks he can be a factor in the Chase.

“We’re right there,” Truex said.

“We’ve been close. We’ve been capable of winning races all year long. We just haven’t finished the deal.We’ve run second a bunch of times, and and we’ve had the car to beat two or three races, and we didn’t do everything right.”

Having NAPA locked in for a long-term commitment as the only primary sponsor on the No. 56 Toyota is definitely a positive for Truex’s program.

“Maybe this will help,” he said.

“It will be great for the guys on the team to not have to worry about where their job is going to be next year, and we’re very excited about that and are looking forward to what we can do together.”

Truex ran only three laps in Friday’s first practice -- in qualifying trim -- but put the No. 56 Camry on top of the speed chart at 185.220 mph.

good size and speed.”

The test should help them out as they open SouthWest Suburban Conference play Friday at Sandburg.

As long as they can fix the mistakes, Aubry likes what he sees.

“We’re looking forward to going into Sandburg next week and playing a team like that,” Carter said the balanced talent has also left doubles combinations up for grabs.

“We have them fill out papers in the beginning to tell us who they think they should play with or where they think they should play and then we will put them where they really need to play if its different,” she said.

As far as the conference, Carter said the Suburban Prairie Conference will be tough for the Indians this year, as they have a lot of inexperienced varsity players.

“I think the conference will tough because we lost a lot of players last year and we are new as a team,” she said.“We are going to take every team one at a time.

Who knows, we could be the short runners at the beginning and come back and be up there at the end.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

KENSETH: IT’S HUMAN NATURE Matt Kenseth enjoys a good helmet toss as much as anyone else -- as long as it’s not directed at him.

But that was the case last Saturday night after Kenseth and Tony Stewart wrecked while fighting for the lead on Lap 332 of the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Stewart climbed from his car and launched his helmet into the nose of Kenseth’s No. 17 Ford as Kenseth was driving down pit road.

“That stuff is always fun to watch, (but) I hate being involved in it,” Kenseth said Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. “I don’t like that part of it, but I always like watching it. I love watching other people’s conflicts. I mean, everybody does. It’s human nature.”

After the incident at Bristol, Stewart promised to run over Kenseth every chance he got for the rest of the season. At a media event on Tuesday, however, Aubry said. “I think we’re going to be alright. I think we’re going

Stewart backed off those remarks, citing the heat of the moment as the origin of the threat.

For his part, Kenseth doesn’t seemed worried.

“Honestly, last week I was really surprised,” he said.“I wasn’t trying to put our cars in a bad situation, I thought we were going to make it through there, and I thought it was going to be all right, so I’m not sure what all went down there.

“But, actually, Tony and I, in general – 99 percent of the time, at least -- show each other more respect and more room on the track than probably most people have. There have been a couple of instances here and there, but I think, overall, we try to show each other a lot of respect.”

“When we get out (of the car) and do things such as Tony did, the fans really connect to that. They really connect to that emotion. And driving down the road, somebody cuts you off on the highway -- you would love to shoot them the bird or something.

Raiders beat Spartans in rivalry game

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

In the first quarter, Romeoville did what it wanted against Valley View School District foe and defending Class 8A state champion Bolingbrook.

The Spartans held the Raiders to a turnover on downs on its first possession, but on its second possession, Bolingbrook running back Omar Stover ripped off a 91-yard TD run. A missed PAT made the game 6-0.

“We came out and played hard, we did what we prepared for on film,” Stover said. “We came out and executed. We are a talented offense. We are stacked and we work hard.”

The Spartans answered with a field goal and trailed only 6-3 after one quarter.

“We had a great first quarter,” said Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna.

“We didn’t run the ball as well I wanted. I knew we wouldn’t run all over them, but I thought we could get three or four a pop. I saw some areas I thought we could that.”

However, Bolingbrook tallied three touchdowns in less than four minutes to open the second quarter en route to a 46-10 win.

“I kept telling the guys to keep their heads up and stay up,” said Romeoville’s Caleb Bailey. “(Bolingbrook) is number one in everybody’s rankings. We are just going to get better.”

John Hall started the scoring with a two-yard touchdown run. That was followed by a TD pass from Aaron Bailey to John Howard and a 63-yard scamper

by Bailey.

Freshman Tuf Borland added a 45-yard interception return for a

score with less than two minutes added to the Raiders’ lead.

With Bailey on the bench, sophomore reserve Quincy Woods, orchestrated a drive that ended in Stover (7 carries, 141 yards) going in from 11-yards out for his second score of the game.

Woods would get a score of his own to end the Raider scoring, while Miguel Ford capped the Spartan scoring.

Woods wasn’t the only sophomore signal caller to play in the game, as Spartan sophomore Kelvin Jones replaced Jacob Bambule, who suffered his second head injury in as many weeks. Jones played the first half half of the sophomore game and was in street clothes during the varsity game until he was called upon to suit up.

“We won’t know until he sees the doctors, but if I had to bet, I would bet that he is out next week,” Kuna said of Bambule.

“That was why I had Calvin go in at halftime and suit up, because I knew he might have to play. He will get the majority of the reps.

Being a young quarterback, he has some things to learn, but we are working with him and he is getting a lot of coaching.”

Both teams get into conference play next week, as Bolingbrook travels to Joliet West and Romeoville faces Plainfield Central, who they beat to end the season last year.

“We played two very good teams. We learned a lot,” Kuna said. “We knew we had to win five of seven conference games to get in the playoffs and with these games here, even though we lost, we will have enough points. We do need to get one next week.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Will County reports first West Nile Virus infection A Romeoville woman in her 40s became Will County’s first confirmed human West Nile Virus case for 2012 early Friday.

The woman initially reported a wide range of symptoms,including fever, stiff neck, headaches, a rash, acute sensitivity to light, and confusion. She was hospitalized Aug. 7 and discharged Aug. 15.

No other information about her convalescence or current health status is available.

WNV is a potentially dangerous viral disease than can be transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Through noon Friday, the Illinois

Department of Public Health had reported 59 WNV human infections and two fatalities. Will County is one of seven Illinois jurisdictions reporting human WNV activity so far this year.

Since 2005, Will County has totaled 59 human infections and two fatalities.

The Health Department urges area residents to take personal precautions against mosquito bites this Labor Day weekend.

Insect repellent is strongly advised and persons may wish to consider curtailing some outdoor activity between dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes

are most active. Long sleeves, pants, shoes and socks are also recommended.

Mosquitoes that typically carry WNV are being reported in record numbers across the state.Through Aug.30,nearly 3,100 virus-positive mosquito batches were listed from around Illinois, including 80 from Will County.The Will County Health Department operates 15 mosquito monitoring sites, and 12 of them have reported at least one WNV-positive virus sample so far.

THE BUGLE/SENTINEL SEPTEMBER 5, 2012

Managing a micromanager at work Q. My boss is a micromanager.

He needs to control every single detail of any project I am working on, and then he hovers as I work. I’m starting to hide in our conference room to get privacy. How do I get him to trust my skills?

A. You get your boss to trust your skills by realizing he probably has an anxiety disorder.

He is terrified of losing control over a project and believes micromanaging his staff will prevent a problem.

You can’t change the chemical or psychological makeup of your boss’s brain. You can learn how to work with another person’s anxiety in the workplace.

Rule 1: Don’t take his hovering or constant advice about your next step personally.

Rule 2: Ask your boss what his worst-case scenario would be

if the project failed.

Rule 3: Make it clear to your boss that you have a specific plan to avoid this result.

Life and work are inherently unpredictable.

We all laugh at people who are superstitious. If a coworker avoids stepping on a crack in a sidewalk, we think they are eccentric. If our boss can’t let go of control of our project, we inaccurately believe our boss has no faith in us.

The truth is your boss has an awareness that bad things happen. He also has a superstition that smart people can avoid bad things if they are constantly vigilant.

None of us enjoys walking around aware that an asteroid could extinguish all life on Earth or that Yellowstone could blow up and start the next ice age.We human beings get through our day by denying the reality of our puny powerlessness in a great big universe.

Your boss is simply trying to avoid circumstances he thinks would ruin his career.You could establish that you are his ally by helping him avoid his worries and become his new best friend.

If instead you buck his control and get hostile, you’ll only make his fear worse.

I know you probably think your boss is the one in charge.

But, surprisingly, he may be more afraid of problems at work than you are. To get your boss to trust your skills, you’ll have to see him as vulnerable rather

than trying to insult you.

You can’t build an alliance with your boss if you’re busy trying to defend yourself or avoid him. You can’t promise your boss a problem-free workplace.You can make it clear you are committed to providing solutions and lowering his anxiety.

When we go to work, we need to see both the head and the heart of the people we work with. When people see we know what’s in their head, they want to hire us. When people know we understand what is in their hearts, they trust our skills, our judgment and our actions.

The last word(s) Q. I want a raise. Any advice?

A. Yes, be visible, effective and profitable.’

London revitalization thanks to Olympics One look at London’s skyline and it’s clear that the city is shifting east.

Once a run-down wasteland, East London now glistens with gardens, greenery, and state-of-theart construction. Skyscrapers punctuate the skyline while a tangle of new Tube lines makes it a quick and easy trip from the center of town.

Much of the revitalization is thanks to the 2012 Olympic Games, which took place from July 27 to Aug. 12. But even now that the summer games are safely tucked away in the record books, their legacy will live on in East London. While definitely not Jolly Olde England, this area stretching from the Olympic Park south to the bustling Docklands district - offers a break from quaint, touristy London and a refreshing look at the British version of a 21st-century city.

The gleaming new Olympic Park is located about seven miles northeast of downtown London in an area called Stratford. Filling the Lea Valley, Stratford was once the site of derelict factories, mountains of discarded tires, and Europe’s biggest refrigerator dump. But in preparation for the Olympics, this area has been gutted and rebuilt. Half a million trees were planted, and 1.4 million tons of dirt cleansed of arsenic, lead, and other toxic chemicals - a reminder of this site’s dirty industrial past.

Olympic Park is huge - bigger than Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens. It’s also quite beautiful, laced with canals and tributaries of the Lea River. At the heart of the complex is a gaggle of ultramodern construction, including the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium, which will host the opening and closing ceremonies; the Aquatics Center, with its swooping wave-like roofline that’s meant to suggest a dolphin; and the 350-foot-tall Orbit viewing tower, made of more than 1,800 feet of spiraling tubular red steel.

Post-Games, Stratford will continue to evolve as both a

tourist destination and a symbol of modern-day London. While some buildings, such as the basketball and water-polo arenas, will be dismantled, others will gain a second life. For instance, Olympic Stadium will be refitted to become a more intimate venue with 60,000 seats while the velodrome will be turned into a center for community use. After the athletes move out of the Olympic Village dorms, contractors will swoop in to install kitchens and turn these units into public housing.

The commercial zone, Stratford City, will serve as the biggest shopping center in Europe, while the Olympic Park area will be converted into a public space called the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The Orbit will remain as a visitor attraction, providing fine views over London from its observation decks. Though some parts of the park will likely be closed over the next year or two while this conversion takes place, you can still get a great view of the area along the Greenway, a 500-yardlong berm that sits at the park’s southern perimeter, and its View Tube, a covered shelter with a lookout tower.

Just south of Stratford the Docklands is another reinvigorated East London neighborhood. Back when Britannia ruled the waves, the Docklands boasted the world’s biggest shipping harbor, with a prime spot on the Thames River.

Then, after being destroyed by Nazi bombers during World War II, the Docklands became a

dangerous no-man’s-land. Until a generation ago, local surveys ranked it as one of the least desirable places to call home.

It’s said that for every Tube stop you lived east of central London, your life expectancy dropped one year.

These days, the Docklands is a thriving center of business and my nomination for Europe’s most impressive urban development. Wandering around this area - filled with skyscrapers, subterranean supermalls, trendy pubs, and peaceful parks with pedestrian bridges looping over canals - is like discovering a slick, futuristic version of Manhattan with an English accent. My favorite time to visit is at the end of the workday, when the area comes alive with office workers finally ready to relax and let loose.

Despite its modern vibe, the Docklands retains remnants of the past. You can still see the 19th-century brown-brick warehouses that were once used for trading sugar and rum. Today they host a row of happening restaurants along with the excellent Museum of London Docklands, which takes visitors on a fascinating 2,000-year walk through the story of commerce on the Thames.
