Troy Schools Approve Budget

Balanced budget down 7 percent from 2011-12.

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

T

roy School District 30-C has approved last week its 201213 budget, balanced at $47.8 million.

The amount represents a decrease of 7 percent from last year, including $42.8 million in operating funds expenses and $5 million in capital projects and debt service payments.

Primary expenditures include instructional services at $21.4 million, support services at $11.8 million, and construction and safety projects at $1 million.

Troy is a small school district, compared to neighbors in Plainfield 202 and Valley View, and of total revenues, nearly 85 percent comes from local property taxes and school fees. Troy receives state support amounting to 12 percent of the

revenues, and the federal government provides just three percent.

Across Illinois, school districts have been making yearly reductions to the budget as tax revenues decreased during the housing slump, and as projected revenues from the state fell short of expectations. Over the years educational cutbacks have reduced staffing, programs and services, and delayed projects at schools across the area.

This year in Troy, operating cuts to the new budget were approximately $1.6 million and non-operating reductions totaled $2.5 million.

In other district news, receipt of a Title I grant is giving the Troy the funds to hire three additional Troy school teachers.These teachers will be providing support and instruction to students who are not meeting expected academic growth at their grade levels. The positions were approved earlier this year, and cost for three slots is estimated at $150,000.

Title I funds, which total more than $400,000 this year in Troy, can be used for buying supplies and hiring staff at designated Title 1 schools.

Trinity Christian event raises $52,000

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Trinity Christian School students helped raise just over $52,000 through a Walk-A-Thon held Sept.

22 at the school.

The recent walk-a-thon drew about 550 students and parents.

Organizers had hoped to raise $52,000 through the fundraiser and students exceeded that goal by $500.

“It was amazing to see our students and families work together to achieve something for the school and help make Christian education available to others,” said Christi Neill, co-chair of the Walk-A-Thon committee.

Half of the money students

raised will be used to pay off building debt for the middle school wing, which opened in 2010. The other half will be used to fund scholarships for families in need.

One student raised more than $1,000 for the walk-a-thon. Three students raised over $500 and 34 students raised at least $250.

Trinity Christian School would like to thank its business sponsors who helped make the walk-athon a success. Business sponsors included Grove Dental Associates, Midland States Bank, Dr. Vince Benig, US. Foods, Great American Bagel, Jewel-Osco, McDonald’s, Culver’s,Target, Ultra Foods, ChickFil-A, Starbucks,Wendy’s,Walmart, Meijer,Walgreens and Staples.

Board approves cost saving initiatives ahead of budget work The Will County Board has approved a voluntary furlough program for the fourth consecutive year and signed off on the purchase of an office building in an effort to cut expenses and save taxpayer dollars.

“Both the voluntary furlough program and the purchase of additional office space represent this Board’s ongoing efforts to practice the highest level of fiscal responsibility,” said Chairman Jim Moustis. “We are thankful to the many county employees that participated in the furlough program in previous years and those that will do so in 2013. As the county has grown, we have had to lease additional office

space. The purchase of this real estate will decrease lease expenses and pay for itself in only a few years.”

The furlough program is completely voluntary and some employees have found the program beneficial in allowing additional time off to care for a child as opposed to arranging and paying for childcare.Additionally, others simply enjoyed taking an extended vacation. Since fiscal year 2010, approximately 340 employees have taken part in voluntary furloughs. Last year the county saved $127,494.

“As we enter the time when tough budget decisions need to be made, everyone plays an important role in holding the line and being fiscally responsible while continuing to provide a high level of service,” said Minority Leader Walter Adamic (D-Joliet). “Everyone is working together now to arrive at a balanced budget that is best for the citizens of Will County.”

The board approved the

purchase of the former Social Security Administration building at 158 Scott St. in Joliet because it will reduce lease expenses and pay for itself within several years. The Board plans to move the land use department into the building and save approximately $230,000 annually in lease expenses. The 12,000-squarefoot building is being purchased for $850,000 and paid from cash reserves.

The county executive submitted his 2013 budget proposal to the board last week.

The board will now work on analyzing and potentially making adjustments to the budget ahead of approving it in November.

“Transparency and public input are two critical keys in drafting a responsible budget,” said Ed Kusta, Jr. (R-Bolingbrook), finance committee chairman.

“Will County practices and encourages both, and this year is no different. We must be prudent and wise with every taxpayer dollar.”

Counseling key to ending domestic violence

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

With little resources or agencies dedicated to counseling services for the youth, a group dedicated to ending the cycle of domestic violence, Bridges to a New Day, is looking for volunteers to help them in their mission.

An anti-violence charitable organization, Bridges to a New Day offers local residents assistance programs related to counseling, domestic violence and parenting. In addition, the agency provides Will County residents with free domestic violence counseling.

“Each year we are seeing an increase in the services we provide,” said Carolyn Khan, executive director of Bridges to a New Day counseling agency. “Due to the challenging economy, people are in stressful living situations. Our agency has stepped up to meet the needs of the people of northern Will County. We are looking for volunteers to help us make a difference.”

The group will be hosting a Volunteer Open House from 10 to 11 a.m. on Thursday at its office, located at 1135 East 9th Street, Lockport. Khan said working with a shoestring budget; the organization

could use any help it can get.

The event is designed to be an opportunity for people to come and learn about volunteer opportunities available including clerical volunteer, data entry volunteer, committee volunteer, community ambassador, intake volunteer and online store volunteer.

According to the 2006 Will County United Way community assessment report, mental health services are not perceived as meeting the needs in Will County.

In 2011, the group provided 967 hours of counseling services for in-school programs, but that number is increasing with 2012 numbers at 1625 hours. Khan explains that based on this pattern, the agency feels the need to expand this component by adding evening hours. In addition, the most dramatic increase in providing services was seen in its free domestic violence services from 2011 to 2012, jumping from 1230 hours of service to 2347 hours.

The charitable organization was opened in 2005 with a mission to provide prevention, intervention, and educational services that foster non-violence in the lives of children and adults.

Khan explains that in many cases, people are struggling with issues that are affecting them

both in their personal and home life. In order to gage progress in these areas, Khan asks clients to report improvements in their ability to cope with their issues and a reduction in the intensity of their symptoms.

With both issues, clients report a 20 percent reduction by their tenth sessions and this reduction improves as session numbers increase. By the tenth session, parents report a 12 percent reduction in school behavior issues. Children are asked to fill out their own questionnaires and the most significant increase is that on average a child reports a 34 percent improvement in their ability to communicate within the family.

“We see these families enter our agency nervous, frustrated, confused and stressed but over their sessions that changes,” Khan reports. “Communication between family members improve, school grades improve, coping skills improve and change occurs in the family and the individual.”

Another way to show their progress is in their own words.

Khan shared the some of those statements from those who have used the organization: “Counseling has helped me so much in so many ways. I now look at myself as a beautiful woman who deserves so much

better;” and “Little did I know that my first day of counseling was the day my life would change.”

It is this emotion and progress, that keeps Khan and the agency motivated to provide help to what she calls an underserved community.

“We will see anyone who needs help and have people come from all over Will County,” said Khan. “We believe that if we can help children with their problems earlier we have a chance to make a difference.

We need to intervene before it becomes a problem. If a child has a problem at a young age and carries it through you do not grow into a happy adult.”

Counselors specialize in providing services for issues such as; school behavior problems,divorce,ADHD,couple counseling, family counseling, teen issues, depression, anxiety, grief, blended family issues,

trauma and more. A program is held at Irene King Elementary School in Romeoville to help children with any issues they may have during free periods.

In addition, the agency offers “Darlene’s Program, ” funded by donors and one that honors a founding member of the organization. If eligible, clients can receive a reduction in their fees.

Community presentations are offered on a variety of issues related to domestic violence and dating violence and educational parenting services are offered through one-on-one parenting consultations as well as through parenting groups. A parenting specialist will work with families to enhance parenting skills and develop an individualized parenting plan.

Lots of laughs Last Laugh Film Fest brings laughs to Joliet

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter October is a month typically reserved for the thrills and chills of Halloween, but at the Rialto Square Theatre, belly-laughs are on the calendar as venue officials offer up the Last Laugh Comedy Festival.

In addition to comedy headliners including Adam Carolla, Kathleen Madigan, and Cheech & Chong, Last Laugh also will feature a film festival screening of the top five comedy films of all time.

“We wanted to branch out and make the festival bigger than just comedians,” said Annette Parker, director of marketing and sales at Rialto Square Theatre. They are “Some Like It Hot,” “Tootsie,” “Dr. Strange Love—How I learned

to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,” “Annie Hall” and “Duck Soup.”

The films have been ranked the funniest films of all time by the American Film Institute.

The Rialto is partnering with the University of St. Francis to provide an alternate venue for the films, as well as to add a bit of scholarly analysis to the festival.

“We want to make this a true film festival experience, where we will have a host who will speak about the films,”Parker said.

“Maybe they will speak about the cinematography, the director, the actors and that type of thing.”

Several USF faculty and staff will host the festival, relating each film to the specific area of expertise of the films’ hosts.

Professors in history and English

will present films five through two, which will screen at the USF campus. Professor emeritus Randy Chilton, Ph.D., will host the number one film, “Some Like It Hot,” at the Rialto on Oct. 26.

Hosted by Randy Chilton, Professor Emeritus at University of St. Francis Chilton will bring his expertise of American and British literature to the forefront during a post-film discussion he will host on this American romantic screwball comedy. Released in 1959, the film’s stars, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, are forced to disguise themselves as female band mates of Monroe’s after witnessing a mob hit.

And if talking about film doesn’t win over the entire audience, then the mob hits, cross-dressing and Marilyn Monroe are sure to turn on the rest.

#1 “Some Like It Hot” 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26 Rialto Square Theater

#2 “Tootsie” 7 p.m.Thursday, Oct. 25 University of St. Francis, Moser Performing Arts Center, Sexton Auditorium Hosted by Terrance Cottrell, Director of Library Services, University of St. Francis Gender dysphoria is again the theme of the Last Laugh Film Festival’s second film, and the role of gender in society is one reason Cottrell feels “Tootsie” offers a topic of discussion for

many academic fields.

The movie stars Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange, with a supporting cast that includes Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Geena Davis, Bill Murray, and producer/director Sydney Pollack. In the film, Hoffman disguises himself as a middle-aged woman to land a role opposite Lange, who he ends up falling for romantically.

“I use film all the time when I teach,” Cottrell said. “It’s even the subject of my dissertation research.”

Cottrell, who goes by “Terry,” said that often when he meets people for the first time, the combination of his genderneutral name and his profession are a source of comedy for him, and another way he relates to the film.

“It’s fun to see their reaction,” Cottrell said. “I’d say nine out of 10 times, when people meet me, they never think Terry = Library = Terrance.”

#3 “How I Learned To Stop Worrying & Love The Bomb” 7 p.m.Wednesday, Oct. 24 University of St. Francis,

THE BUGLE/SENTINEL OCTOBER 3, 2012 Donovan Hall, San Damiano Hall Hosted by David Veenstra, Assistant Professor, History, University of St. Francis Veenstra brings his knowledge of history to this 964 black comedy film which satirizes the nuclear scare. It was directed, produced, and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, and featuring Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, and Slim Pickens. The film is loosely based on Peter George’s Cold War thriller novel Red Alert, also known as Two Hours to Doom.

#4 “Annie Hall” 7 p.m.Tuesday, October 23 University of St. Francis, Moser Performing Arts Center, Sexton Auditorium Hosted by Deb Workman, Assistant Professor, History at University of St. Francis As a European historian whose research focuses on women and gender issues, Workman will offer a unique look at this 1977 romantic comedy.

The film is directed by Allen and adapted from his screenplay, cowritten with Marshall Brickman, and produced by Charles H. Joffe.

Allen co-stars as Alvy Singer, who investigates the reasons for the failure of his relationship with the film’s female lead, played by Diane Keaton.

“I am delighted to be hosting Annie Hall, perhaps my favorite

Woody Allen film,”Workman said.

#5 “Duck Soup” 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22.

University of St. Francis, Moser Performing Arts Center, Sexton Auditorium Hosted by Kevin Spicer, Assistant Professor, English at University of St. Francis Though his area of expertise is the Middle Ages and French philosophy, Spicer couldn’t be happier to lead the discussion on a film he considers a part of our comedic cultural archive.

“Every comedic work of art seems to borrow something from the famous ‘mirror’ scene,” Spicer said. ‘“Family Guy’ did a version, ‘The Simpsons,’ the list goes on and on. It’s the very origin of what’s become a kind of comedic trope.”

This Marx Brothers anarchic comedy, written by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby, as first released theatrically by Paramount Pictures on Nov. 17, 1933. It starred what were then billed as the“Four Marx Brothers”(Groucho,Harpo,Chico, and Zeppo) and also featured Margaret Dumont, Raquel Torres, Louis Calhern and Edgar Kennedy.

It was the last Marx Brothers film to feature Zeppo, and the last of five Marx Brothers movies released by Paramount.

Joliet man gets 85 year for slaying of 14-year-old boy A Joliet man has been sentenced to 85 years in prison for spraying a Lockport Township house with bullets and killing a 14-year-old boy in 2011.

Vernon McCormick, 24, was found guilty at the conclusion of a jury trial in July of three counts of first-degree murder for the shooting death of Deont’e Lesley on Jan. 3, 2011.

Lesley was inside his house playing video games when he was murdered.

Two other youths were wounded when McCormick opened fire on the house.

The jury also found him guilty of two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm and one count of aggravated discharge of a firearm in connection with their injuries.

McCormick, a gang member with a long criminal history, fired on the house because he believed rival gang members who had killed his friend were inside. Deont’e Lesley, however, was a local athlete and was not involved with street gangs.

Evidence at the trial revealed that McCormick went to Lesley’s house and opened fire when he saw people moving inside and after someone opened a window for air.

“Deont’e Lesley was an innocent young boy with a bright future who should have been safe in the comfort of his own house,” Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said.

“Instead, he was gunned down by a volatile gangbanger with absolutely no regard for human life. Vernon McCormick shot to

kill when he repeatedly pulled the trigger outside that house with no concern whatsoever for how many people were inside.

Today he was sent to prison to spend the rest of his life staring at the walls of his cell.”

Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupas said, “I want to thank State’s Attorney Glasgow and his prosecution team as well as my detectives for their hard work in the successful investigation and prosecution of this defendant.

This was a highly circumstantial case that involved a high level of cooperation and team work between the Sheriff’s

Department and the State’s Attorney’s Office. Today’s sentence reflects our strong commitment to holding these gangbangers accountable for their violent and deadly acts.”

Project Infinite Green, a community-based education initiative, is expanding to Lockport Township High School District 205.

The program, which was launched in Lemont last year, was designed by community and corporate leaders, teachers and government officials to give students the opportunity to learn about the science and business of both traditional and sustainable energy sources.

Project Infinite Green began with a press conference at LTHS Monday in the front entrance of our East Campus, 1333 E. 7th Street, Lockport. Gov. Pat Quinn and Congressman Daniel Lipinski attended.

“This is a great opportunity for our students,” LTHS Superintendent Dr. Todd Wernet said. “We are proud to be part of such an innovative

and unique program that will afford our students a hands-on learning experience.”

Project Infinite Green was created to promote the ideals of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Coalition, an alliance of more than 500 business, professional, and education organizations that works to raise awareness of STEM education within the government and other organizations.

“One thing that makes this program so special is the local involvement; we hope to use our experience and the curriculum we’ve developed to help other communities create similar for their students,” said Catherine Greenspon, a Lemont resident and co-founder of Infinite Project Green.

Europeans party like U.S. in 1999

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Coming into Sunday at the Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, the United States held what appeared to be a strong lead at 10-6 with 12 singles matches left.

That just so happened to be the same score the U.S. trailed by in 1999 when they made an improbable comeback to beat the Europeans.

The Europeans got one back.

Martin Kaymer sunk a sixfoot putt to clinch his match with Steve Stricker and give the Europeans at least a tie, which is good enough to win the cup.

They went on to win 14.5-13.5.

At one point in time Saturday the score was 10-4 U.S. “It’s a feeling that I’ve never had before,” Kaymer said. “Now I know how it really feels to win the Ryder Cup.” “I am disappointed that I let 11 other players down and the captains,” Stricker said. “I had to get some kind of points and I didn’t, so that’s disappointing.”

Europe won the first four matches Sunday to tie the total at 10-10 and the two sides from there went back-and-forth with Europe taking the lead on Sergio Garcia’s come-from-behind win.

“Amazing, what a day,” Garcia stated.“It was hard but we knew there was a chance. Obviously everything came right.”

“Any Ryder Cup loss is difficult,” U.S. captain Davis Love III said. “Today was not what we expected. We had guys who played well and just got beat.

We’re all kind of stunned. We know what it feels like now from the ’99 Ryder Cup. It’s a little bit shocking.”

Jim Furyk led Garcia by one going into the 17th hole, but Garcia was able to make a

pair of pars to win both of the final two holes. It was another disappointing loss for Furyk this year, who had the U.S. Open and the Bridgestone Invitational in his grasp and let them both slip away.

“It’s been a very difficult year,” Furyk said. “If you had been on this team, I have 11 guys and captains who will pat me on the back and know how I feel.

We came here as a team and we wanted to win the Ryder Cup as a team and we didn’t. I’m pretty sure Sergio would tell you I outplayed him today. As far as team vs. individual, this is the lowest point of my year.”

Phil Mickelson lost a match earlier in the day with the same

lead as Furyk, but in his case it took two clutch birdies from Justin Rose to beat him.

“When Phil made that putt on 16, I thought he did something great for the Ryder Cup,” Love said. “He didn’t lose, he got beat.”

“We are in shock,” Rose said.

“We wanted to believe, we really did, but we had no illusions of how hard that day was going to be, four shots against a team that has played so well this week.”

The hero for the Europeans though was Ian Poulter, who went 4-0 for the tournament.

“This was a team performance,” he said. “What the team has done was an unbelievable job today. We just felt we had that

tiny little chance, and the boys proved that today and made history.”

Dustin Johnson, Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner were the only U.S. singles winners on the day.

Europe got wins from Poulter, Rose, Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, Kaymer, Garcia, Paul Lawrie and Lee Westwood.

Rose and McIlroy also had winning records for the Europeans, both going 3-2.

Dustin Johnson went a perfect 3-0 for the Americans, while Keegan Bradley, Dufner, Zach Johnson and Mickelson all went 3-1. Matt Kuchar was 2-1. Stricker was 0-4 for the week, while Tiger Woods was 0-3-1. Peter Hanson and Francesco Molinari were

non-winners for Europe.

CHICAGO SUCCESS Medinah and Chicago passed with glowing success in hosting its first Ryder Cup. The crowds were out in full force and the support was there for the Americans.

“The atmosphere was tremendous all week,” Stricker said.“It was so much fun.”

Even the Europeans enjoyed the atmosphere.

“You know, Chicago has been incredible,” Poulter said. “They have been loud and they have been, you know, supporting their home team, and rightly so.” staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Isaac returns to form in Hillmen win

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Welcome to the football season Ty Isaac.

While the USC-bound running back came back after only missing one full game following

a shoulder injury suffered in the season opener at Providence, Isaac was not at 100 percent.

Although he is still not at full strength, Isaac showed how close he is as he gained 287 yards on 23 carries and scored four consecutive touchdowns as

he led JCA to a 49-13 rout of East Suburban Catholic foe St. Patrick Saturday at Hanson Stadium in Chicago.

“This is the first game that I feel I can make the cuts and get up the field the way I want to be,” Isaac said.“Everyone blocked really well.”

While Isaac said he felt 90 percent, coach Dan Sharp had him around 60-65 percent of his old self.

“When Ty is at 100, watch out,” he said.

It appeared as if it would be a long day for the Hilltoppers (4-2, 3-1) when John Dabe returned the opening kick-off 96-yards for a score.

JCA answered on a 10-yard touchdown from Michael Ivlow (12 carries, 70 yards).

After St. Pat’s (3-3, 1-2) scored on a bubble screen to take the lead, Isaac scored his four scores in a row to put the game away.

“Ty is finally back and it makes it easy when the No. 1 player in the nation is back,” Ivlow said.

“He takes a lot of load off me and (Tyler) Rietz.”

Rietz did not play after the first couples series and it was Ivlow who threw a few huge blocks to spring Isaac’s long runs.

“I am a runner, but Ty is the offense and that is the real Ty Isaac,” Ivlow said.“I am proud to be his blocker. They were really good, but with a 100 percent Ty we are unstoppable.”

The one silver lining to Isaac’s injury is that it forced Ivlow to jump right into the system after transferring from Minooka, making the offense that much stronger at full strength.

“When Ty went down, I had to jump right in and get a lot of carries,” Ivlow said. “Now, I only get maybe 10 carries and that is fine, I just want to win.”

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Ty Isaac returned to form rushing for 287 yards and four TDs.

“This is one of the best things to have,” Isaac said of the balanced offense. “Me and Tyler can break them, we can pass and when Ivlow gets the ball, he is going to get four or five yards a pop.”

Sharp said Ivlow’s impact on the team is still not as good as it will be.

“There is a lot to learn in our offense and he is getting a crash course,” he said. “He still isn’t all the way there yet and as good

as he is doing, when he gets the full grasp of our offense he will really be a force for us.”

Sharp said all-in-all, it was nice to be able to put in some of the JCA offense that it was supposed to look like.

“It is good to get back running what we run in our offense,” he said.“We still need to get healthy, but we are getting there.”

The Hilltoppers host a 3-3 Carmel team that features a potent option offense. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Joliet’s Memorial Stadium. mark@buglenewspapers.com

Herzberger, Indians defend title

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

The Minooka girls golf team had one goal in mind heading into the Southwest Prairie Conference season this year – win.

The Indians, and top golfer Rachel Herzberger, were both defending SPC champions and wanted to keep it that way, which they did last week at Inwood Golf Course in Joliet with a 370.

“Our girls play the same throughout the season,”

Herzberger said of the conference win. “So it is not that surprising.

It is nice knowing that everyone on our team is consistent.”

GIRLS GOLF Plainfield Central finished second with a 385, followed by Plainfield South (387), Plainfield North (410), Plainfield East (412) and Romeoville (429). Oswego East only features individual players and Oswego does not have a team.

In the tournament, Herzberger tied for the title with Plainfield South’s Alex Catalano, as each carded an 82, 10 shots ahead of the nearest competitor.

“I shot a good score for myself and I had a lot of fun playing, so it was over my expectations today,” Herzberger said. “My goal was to defend my title and I did that. It is a great feeling that I was able to have high expectations and achieve my goals.”

Finishing second for the Indians was Ashley Gray, who shot a 95, followed by Gabby Osorio (96) and Deaven Hudson (97).

Rebecca Andreano (99), Sarah Lindmark (104), Michelle Olson (107) and Katie Eaton (110) also played for the Indians, but did not score.

Aside from tying for the win at the SPC tournament, Herzberger won the overall SPC title with 28.5 cumulative points, 1.5 ahead of Catalano.

Minooka takes second in SPC

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Minooka entered Wednesday’s Southwest Prairie Conference Tournament at Wedgewood Golf Course in Joliet as the points leader with 14 after going through the regular season unbeaten.

BOYS GOLF However, the Indians finished in the all too familiar position of second place with 24 points after taking third in the tournament with a 321 total.

Plainfield North (27 points) repeated as SPC champs after shooting a 314. Plainfield Central shot a 319.

“We are pretty disappointed with second because we came in undefeated,” Jason Chobar said. “It is what it is. I think we finished in second place four our sixth straight year. It’s definitely my third year straight, so that kind of hurts. Eventually we will grab first.”

Chobar was the only nonPlainfield top eight finisher in total SPC points, finishing with 21 to take second in the conference to Central’s Mitch Young, who shot a 71 and finished with 24 conference points.

“I’m pretty happy with it,” Chobar said.“I played pretty well today, so I was able to grab some more points. Mitch played really good today. I needed to get two points back on him and we both

played well today. My main goal next year is to win the MVP.” Chobar was able to feed off of the strong round recorded by Young as they were playing in the same group.

“It always helps to play against another player who is good,” Chobar stated. “Then you can stick with him and try to beat him.”

Jake Hogen added an 80 for the Indians, while Ryan Johnson shot an 83 and Grant Barker had an 84.

Ryder Cup 2012 a memorable event The 2012 Ryder Cup will be remembered for many things.

There was the incredible p a s s i o n displayed by both teams and their fan bases, the marvelous shots that were made and the surreal comeback made by the Europeans.

I, for one, will remember all of those things for a long time.

It was unbelievable to be so close to the action and see the players get fired up more than ever before. Then there was the booing done by the gallery, which never occurs during a regular tournament. They were heckling Ian Poulter (who got the last laugh with a 4-0 record) by yelling for him to just hit the ball and booing him when he wouldn’t concede a putt.

But like other major sporting events I watch from home, I will remember how I felt when Europe made the comeback

that drove a stake through the Americans’ hearts.

After moving from the fifth hole to the 14th, I was still cautiously optimistic that the Americans would come out on top. But as the day moved on the nerves came up more and more. I was expecting for Europe to make a comeback with its stacked lineup at the top, but I didn’t think it would score five of the first six points to tie it up.

I still liked who the Americans had coming up, but when Phil Mickelson lost his match after having a late lead, I was officially concerned. When Matt Kuchar got three down on Lee Westwood, it was a straight out panic.

I stayed all the way through the players on the 14th and when Martin Kaymer and Francesco Molinari beat Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods on the hole, I knew it would come down to Jim Furyk holding off Sergio Garcia on the 18th to preserve the America win.

TAKE Continued from page 19 Walking back to the 18th, I saw the video board and watched Furyk miss the putt that gave Europe the lead and I knew it was over, even with Woods and Stricker still alive.

While the outcome wasn’t what I wanted, it was still a great weekend and I’ll remember the European celebration on the bridge by the first tee box.

SECOND-GUESSING There will always be second guessing for captains when you lose.When the United States lost there were several questions as to what U.S. captain Davis Love III could have done differently.

TITLE Continued from page 16 Hudson tied for ninth in the SPC with 10 points.

As important as it was to Herzberger and the Indians to

Sports U.S. RESURGENCE?

One of those was sitting out Keegan Bradley and Phil Mickelson Saturday afternoon after winning their first three matches in dominating fashion.

Mickelson stood up for his captain right away.

“On the 10th hole (Saturday morning) I went up to Davis and told him he was seeing our best and you can’t put us in in the afternoon,” Mickelson stated.

“We emotionally and mentally aren’t prepared for it.”We had other guys dying to go out there. You can’t put down him.

If anything, it was me because I said that to him.”

I would also stick up for Love in this situation and in general for the lineup that he put out there. The one thing I disagreed with was having Stricker play at all Saturday, and even in the afternoon Friday.

He was clearly off his game and even though that seems to be the only guy Tiger Woods plays with in these events, putting in Brandt Snedeker at least Saturday afternoon would have been a better option. In fact, the Europeans sat both Martin Kaymer and Peter Hanson Saturday and played Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy all four doubles matches and it appeared to pay off.

I also didn’t like Stricker or Jim Furyk as captains picks to begin with. With all the young talent out there, fresh, exciting players with little Ryder Cup experience is better than aging players with mostly negative experiences. Stricker went 0-4 for the week, so I might as well have been a captains pick because I couldn’t have done any worse.

Speaking of a youth movement, the future does look bright for the Americans.

The 2000s was generally a struggle for U.S. golf. Even the winning Ryder Cup team in 2008 had an interesting range of players. This year’s team had a good balance of youth and veterans. And, everyone has proven itself on the PGA Tour over the years and the only possible one year wonder is Jason Dufner, who, based on his Ryder Cup performance, appears to be here to stay.

Look at the players who didn’t make the Ryder Cup team this year (Bill Hass, Rickie Fowler and Hunter Mahan) and compare it to some of the players who did make the team in the 2000s: Boo Weekley (2

Minooka now travels to LaSalle for the LaSalle-Peru IHSA Class AA Regional.They are matched with teams from Bradley-Bourbonnias, Galesburg, LaSalle-Peru, Metamora, Moline, Rock Island and Sterling and individuals from

Dunlap and Richwoods.

The top three teams and the top 10 individuals not on qualifying teams will advance to the Normal University Sectional.

“This is when it is big,” Herzberger said. “We have to try and keep our regional title and hopefully we can get out

to sectional as a team and my individual goal is to get to state.”

There was even a time where Tiger Woods and Jonathan Byrd were the only Americans in their 20s with multiple Tour wins.

Now, there are several in their 20s with multiple wins. Dustin Johnson, Simpson and Bradley are the future of U.S. golf, along with Mahan and Fowler.

That’s not to say that the U.S. will dominate the Ryder Cup now as there are plenty of talented members of Europe still, as was evident Sunday.

Alviti’s big first half propells Hawks

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The showdown between the CSL South’s two 5-0 football teams, Maine South and upstart Niles West, didn’t last long Friday night.

Matt Alviti and the Hawks saw to that.

Alviti needed only one half of work to accumulate 208 yards through the air, pass for two touchdowns and run for two more as the Hawks took a commanding 44-7 first-half lead en route to a 51-14 homecoming rout of the Wolves.

Wolves head coach Scott Baum has seen Alviti, a Northwestern recruit, work his magic for three years, and marveled at the senior’s effort Friday.

“It’s like you’re playing in Canada (Canadian football) when you play against this kid,” Baum said. “The field seems so big. I like (Northwestern coach) Pat Fitzgerald a lot and I think he’s getting a helluva player. He’s a competitor; he kind of willed them to go today.”

Alviti got Maine South rolling with a 2-yard TD run on the Hawks’ first offensive series.

The Hawks (6-0, 2-0) picked up two more points when a Niles West snap on a punt sailed into the end zone for a safety.

Maine South reached the end zone again following the safety.

Anthony Mitchell scooted up the middle for a 27-yard score to give the Hawks a 16-0 lead.

Then, defensive back Alberto Rossi picked off a pass and ran it back to the Niles West 10-yard line with 2:48 left in the first quarter.

That set up Alviti’s 6-yard

scoring pass to Daly Guzaldo.

“We were really fired up,”Alviti said.“We prepared well all week.

We knew that with a 5-0 team we couldn’t joke around, so we focused all week and prepared.”

Niles West went three-and-out on its ensuing offensive series, and a short punt put Maine South in business at the Wolves’ 27-yard line.

Mitchell’s second TD run of the quarter, this a 5-yarder, opened up a 30-0 advantage.

In the second quarter, the Wolves (5-1, 1-1) marched down to the Hawks’23-yard line on Mike McGivern-to-Jeremiah Jordan pass that covered 13 yards.

But John Cerniglia cut the Wolves’ drive short by intercepting a pass at the 3-yard line.

Seven plays later, Alviti, while scrambling near mid-field, found Frank Perrone in the end zone and threw a 44-yard bomb to the wideout with 5:18 remaining before halftime.

“It was a broken play and you’ve always got to be ready with Matt,” said Perrone, who caught four passes for 95 yards. “I saw that I could get open. I pointed to Matt and showed him where to throw it and he’s going to put it on the money every time.”

The Wolves got on the board late in the first half after McGivern, who shared quarterback duties with Tommy Galanopoulos, flipped a 2-yard TD pass to Galanopoulos. But the Hawks responded on Alviti’s 4-yard run with 21 seconds left.

Galanopoulos hit Jordan (six catches, 67 yards) for an 11-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

The Hawks’ final TD of the night also occurred in the third

when Trent Orr blocked a punt.

Anthony Perrone picked up the loose ball at the Niles West 31 and ran it in.

The Hawks, who have seven

starters injured, are expecting defensive end Mike Klein and tight end John Solari to return to the lineup for their game at Evanston next week.

“Guys have been stepping up and filling roles and we’ll be that much stronger for it,” said Maine South head coach Dave Inserra. mike@buglenewspapers.com

Finding great art in Europe’s smaller museums

By Rick Steves Tribune Media Services

For many travelers, a visit to one of the great treasurechest museums - Paris’ Louvre, London’s British Museum,Rome’s Vatican - is the highlight of a European trip. But sometimes a march through endless galleries dense with other tourists can be a mood killer, as you battle the throngs to scratch yet another biggie off your to-do list.

At the start of a trip, I’ll seek out every great painting and cathedral I can.After two months, I find myself “seeing” cathedrals with a sweep of my head from the doorway, and I probably wouldn’t cross the street for another Rembrandt. I’m not saying that you should skip the Mona Lisa; but Europe’s great museums can be hard work, and I am rarely good for more than two or three hours at a time.

Luckily,not all art masterpieces are kept in the powerhouse museums. Europe is filled with many fine little museums that amply reward those who venture beyond the monumental sights. Smaller places have their own superstar attractions, and because their collections are rarely encyclopedic, you can see everything in one visit and still feel fresh.

Take, for example, Paris’ Marmottan and Orangerie museums. Fans of Monet and Impressionism gravitate toward the Orsay Museum, with its impressive collection - and inevitable crowds. But savvy sightseers know they can get their Monet fix - with less

competition - elsewhere. Monet himself designed the setting for his great Water Lily paintings at Paris’ Orangerie, where French royalty once grew orange trees for its palaces.

Perched on the edge of Paris and fronted by a lovely park, the Marmottan owns one of the best collections anywhere of works

by Monet, including the painting that gave Impressionism its name (Impression: Sunrise).After a pleasant stroll through the galleries, you’ll still have enough energy to enjoy the museum’s park and to wander along nearby Rue de Passy, one of Paris’ most pleasant and upscale shopping streets.

Europe’s cultural wonders often hide out in fascinating buildings that were never meant to be museums. For instance, one of Michelangelo’s Pietas lives in Milan’s Sforza Castle, itself a Renaissance palace where Leonardo da Vinci was the inhouse genius to the mighty Sforza dukes. The exquisite and famous Lady and the Unicorn tapestries are among the medieval treasures in Paris’ gem-like Cluny Museum, once the mansion of an important church leader.

London’s Wallace Collection features fine 17th-century Dutch Masters and 18thcentury French Rococo pieces inside a sumptuously furnished townhouse. From the rough and intimate Dutch lifescapes of Jan Steen to the pink-cheeked Rococo fantasies of Francois Boucher, a wander through this little-visited mansion makes you nostalgic for the days of the empire (and it’s free). I love

these cultural “two-fers” - great art surrounded and deepened by authentic bits of history.

My favorite small-scale museum is Rome’s Borghese Gallery, featuring world-class sculptures by the Baroque virtuoso Bernini and dazzling paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and Rubens, all displayed within a 17th-century building that gets my vote for the best interior of

any palace in Europe.And best of all, there’s no chance that you’ll be overcome by museum fatigue.

Visits are strictly limited to two hours. (Admission requires a reservation - easy to get by telephone or online).

The wealthy Cardinal Scipione Borghese richly decorated every inch of the place in the overthe-top Baroque style, then filled it with classical, Renaissance,

and Baroque masterworks. In the cardinal’s age, the rich and powerful employed renowned artists to spiff up their homes.

As the pope’s nephew, the cardinal was well-connected and could easily afford the tab. This is a place where - regardless of whether you learn a thing - you can sit back and enjoy the sheer beauty of the palace and its art.

But the Borghese is more than just a wonderful museum. The beautiful villa is set in the lushly green Borghese Gardens, Rome’s version of Central Park. The sprawling open space is perfect for relaxing, unwinding, and letting the kids run wild. After you’ve finished your circuit of the museum, saunter out through the park to the viewpoint over the Piazza del Popolo for prime people-watching, or rent a bike for a spin around the leafy gardens. Even the trip to the museum is fun, especially if you ride the little “elettrico” bus, which winds silently through the narrow lanes of Rome’s medieval core up to the park.

As I’ve discovered over a lifetime of visits, it pays to sightsee smartly and selectively.

Europe’s many wonderful little museums may be less visited than the biggies, but they are no less rewarding.

Want a promotion? Make mistakes Q. I have a job where the same thing never happens twice. I end up making a lot of mistakes. My boss says mistakes are just part of the learning curve, but I get so upset I shake when I realize I messed up. How can I develop more self-confidence?

A. You will develop more selfconfidence by learning how to make mistakes with enthusiasm and grace. Your boss has been trying to tell you that, in any industry, you have to make mistakes to know anything worth paying you for.

The difference between people who get promoted and people that stay at the bottom of the workplace food chain is that the people who get promoted take risks, make mistakes gracefully, and get really good at their jobs. People who don’t get promoted make mistakes, freak out, and can’t think clearly enough to find solutions.

The people who are most

likely to be thrown off the horse by mistakes are bright, competent w o r k e r s who are perfectionists.

I r o n i c a l l y, employees who don’t care as much also don’t get as upset - and tend to be able to think about how to fix a problem.

Notice what you tell yourself the next time you make a mistake. You may find you talk more critically and rudely to yourself than you would talk to anyone else. We often don’t notice these silent dialogues going on inside our head, but they do make us feel awful.

If you find you’re ranting internally about what an idiot you are, no wonder you lose the ability to solve problems. Notice that the real problem isn’t that

you made a mistake. It’s that you treat yourself so badly that you’ve lost your ability to fix anything.

Consider how you’d talk to friends you love dearly when they make a mistake. Now next time you screw up, attempt to take a deep breath, and then give yourself the same pep talk.

Give yourself the room to know that it’s normal to be embarrassed when you make a mistake.If you are a perfectionist, be comforted in knowing that no one in the room is being as hard on you as you are being right now on yourself. People who end up with brilliant careers make as many mistakes as anyone else.

One of the favorite themes in movies and books is the underdog who goes on to succeed. When you make a mistake at work, you are the underdog. If you keep your wits about you, what you do next may just make you the top dog

Picking the right trustee Dear Dave, I’m going through a divorce, and I’m about to buy a $600,000 life insurance policy. My 9-year-old daughter would be the beneficiary.

I need a trustee, but how do I pick a good one?

Marie Dear Marie, First, your daughter wouldn’t be the beneficiary. You would leave it in a trust for her benefit.

And I’m not sure I’d depend on an ex-husband to handle something that requires this much integrity.

You’d be better off hiring a good attorney to execute the trust upon your death, or you can look for a bank that has a trust department.

Once you decide on a trustee, you must remember to clearly and specifically state what you want done with the money. Don’t say to invest the money appropriately, because what a banker views as an appropriate investment and what I view as an appropriate invest are usually very different. A banker might put the money in CDs, or certificates of deposit, while I’d probably look at something like mutual funds, which have a much better rate of return.

In many cases, a trust for a child

is put in place to pay for their first car, a medical situation or their college education, but this is completely up to you.

The balance of the money might go to them when they reach age 21, while they receive a monthly stipend for food and other essentials while they’re younger.

I’m proud of you for thinking ahead, Marie. I know divorce is hard, but your little girl is lucky to have such a good and caring mom on her side!

—Dave

Dave’s thoughts about online banks Dear Dave, How do you feel about using an online bank for your emergency fund?

Jared Dear Jared, I don’t think that’s a problem

at all in most situations. Just make sure you do a little research. Know who you’re dealing with and that they’ve got some strength. A bank that is known as a “click and mortar”—one that has a physical location as well as online—would be my preference. Some of them have great debit card programs that includes debit card rewards and high-interest checking accounts, too.

When it comes to an emergency fund, I like the idea of keeping it in a separate money market account.

That way you get money market rates, plus you can attach check writing privileges to the account.

Then when an emergency comes along, you don’t have to worry about shuffling money around.

You can just write a check out of the account. Problem solved!

at work.

The last word(s) Q.There is a group of people at work who enjoy sitting around snickering and making judgmental comments about everybody else. Are people still this petty after high school?

A. Yes, petty gossip is the tranquilizer of an immature soul.
