CLAIM JUMPING IN 2013

Winston Churchill once called the old Soviet Union ‘a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma’; and much the same could be said for author ‘B Traven’ - a pen name adopted by . . . ? There is speculation as to what his real name may have been, but that’s it. All of his novels were first published in German, but he claimed that they’d all been written in English. The only real consensus about him is that he lived much of his life in Mexico; and the publication of ‘Treasure of Sierra Madre’ in 1927 marks him as a keen observer of life in a country recovering from political chaos while in the midst of a boom in mineral extraction. Political chaos and mineral wealth! What an opportunity, if you lack a conscience; and as Dobbs (one of Traven’s characters) speaking in Huston’s film version of ‘Treasure of Sierra Madre’ observed, “Conscience. What a thing. If you believe you got a conscience it’ll pester you to death. But if you don’t believe you got one, what could it do t’ya?” And Fred Dobbs could easily have been speaking of Ghana when (Humphrey Bogart, speaking his lines) said, “This is the country where the nuggets of gold are just crying out for you to take them out of the ground and make ‘em shine in coins on the fingers and necks of swell dames.” When it was a British colony, Ghana was known as the Gold Coast. Independence in 1957 led to a change in name, but not in the country’s mineral wealth and it has grown since. In 2008 Ghana was second only to South Africa in Africa’s gold production; and one would think that between its gold, its cocoa and its oil the people of the country would be doing well. Such is not the case; the claim jumpers have moved in. Attracted by seemingly guaranteed profitability, it works this way. To T encourage the spread of mineral wealth, Ghanian law allows a Ghanian in a position of trust, authority or outright ownership to obtain a lease for mining from his government. Even though such a lease is, in theory, solely for Ghanian nationals, the question of a sublease is so open to interpretation that an original lessee can sublet his mining claim to a Chinese mining firm. This starts the ball rolling. The boom in the price of gold (it has increased from about $290/ounce in 2002 to about $1650/ounce today) has made it profitable for Chinese miners to bring in heavy equipment. Once there, many of these formidably equipped miners have extended their operations into some restricted areas, working without a permit and without any care for the land. Commenting on the problem, Ahmed Nantogma, Director of Public Affairs at Ghana’s Chamber of Mines, said “Y “You go where your product is. So that is why they are not going to say, Congo

or Liberia, they come to Ghana. And they know they can take advantage of the situation and hide somewhere in a bush and mine illegally without paying taxes.” Nor does the Ghanian Government have any idea how many unregistered (illegal) Chinese there may be in the country engaged in illegal gold mining. The problem is not only that untrained Ghanians are not employed in Chinese operated mines, it is compounded by ignorance (of the real worth of a lease) and gullibility (sure, we’ll clean up when we’re done.) Ghanian activist OwusuKoranteng put it this way. “Mining goes with a lot of myths, like it creates jobs, it brings development, it makes people’s lives better. That is the first deception: that you are sitting on gold and somebody is going to mine it. You Y cannot imagine for once the person can take the gold away and leave you in a bad state. We also have a situation where our lands are taken over by mining. They (the farmers) lost their jobs, their lands were gone, the river is polluted and the skills they had could not fit into the skills of the mining.” Greed, of course (and as it usually does), keeps wealth from ‘trickling down’; but here in the U.S. the jewelry business has a conscience.

BRYAN BERGMAN

Lyons Township PE teacher wins state award By LLOYD J. NELSON lnelson@shawmedia.com

LA GRANGE — Bryan Bergman started off his teaching career in 2009 at the very same high school he graduated from: Elk Grove High School. The 26-year-old physical education teacher soon moved, though, to teach at Lyons Township High School, a school he said he fell in love with. “It’s a fun place to be every day and I could not see myself anywhere else right now,” Bergman said. His happiness has translated to success. Every year, the Illinois Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance presents the “Young Professional Teacher of the Year” award to a teacher who demonstrates skills that create a positive learning atmosphere for all students. In 2012, the award went to Bergman.

What does this award mean to you? What was your reaction when you found out you received it? I was just honored to be even nominated for the award. Being a teacher of only three years, I feel I have so much to learn and experience. After actually winning the state award, I was very grateful. It means a lot to be recognized for my work within my profession. The award process has been a lot of fun, but it truly would not have been possible if I had not been at LT. Everything I have learned about being a great physical education teacher comes from the teachers I work with, within the physical welfare department. I came to LT three years ago with a basic knowledge of education and teaching high school students. Every day, I continue to learn from my coworkers who have been doing this for a lot longer than I have. They are the teachers of the year and the people that I look up to. Everything I do in my classroom is a direct representation of the great things they have been doing well before I arrived. The physical education department that I work in is no doubt one of the top in the state.

About Bryan Bergman Age: 26 Residence: Oak Park Education: Carthage College Family: Fiancé Kristen Martin

Why did you choose LT? What about the school district appealed to you? I knew nothing about LTHS until an interview I had with Joann Pyritz at the Rosemont Convention Center Job Fair. After my initial interview, I did my research about the school and immediately fell in love with it. The school district is responsible for a large population of students, but is still able to cater so many opportunities and support to everyone and everything. What’s your favorite part about teaching physical education? Why did you decide to make that your career? Physical education is a rewarding class to teach. I have the opportunity to teach students something new every day, as well as challenge them and take them out of their comfort zone. It is the one class that allows students to break away from the desk, the books and the cognitive domain and physically improve their overall well-being. A lot of what we teach at LT can be used again later in life and that is our overall goal: Lifelong fitness. Why do you believe physical education is an important part of a child’s education? Do you believe schools are putting a premium on physical education with the rise in childhood obesity? The childhood obesity epidemic is not going to be solved by physical education in schools. It will take a lot more than that, although physical education is a key component to fighting the obesity problem we face amongst our youth. I am a true advocate for physical education — I feel it is important to get young students active in something, anything. We are swamped with technology and it has been taking away from hands-on

District 102 orchestra director Tom Culver brings rock ‘n’ roll, classics to the classroom By LLOYD J. NELSON lnelson@shawmedia.com

LA GRANGE PARK — Tom Culver remembers when he was a teenager and he first discovered rock ‘n’ roll. “I was studying classical music,” Culver said. “But I was also locking myself in my room at 2 a.m. trying to learn Rush bass lines.” The La Grange School District 102 orchestra director never forgot how important it was to him, a student studying classical music, to learn alongside Led Zeppelin, Rush and Aerosmith. “They’re all important bands to me,” Culver said. “I’m trying to share my musical experience.” That’s why Culver, a 47-year-old Countryside resident, decided to bring the sounds of Steely Dan to go along with Mozart and Beethoven at the La Grange Park-based district, which serves elementary and junior high students at schools in La Grange Park, La Grange and Brookfield. “We do a disservice to students who play violin, viola, cello and bass if we only perform classical music,” Culver said. “Although it’s a fundamental part of their training, there are so many styles of music

that we can play on these instruments, and the opportunities are increasing all the time. ... It’s important for them to have a taste for rock, blues and jazz.” Since 1991, Culver, a classically trained cellist, has been leading a growing orchestra program in the district. When Culver took over the program, there were about 67 students in orchestra. Now, orchestra boasts an enrollment of nearly 280 string players between the fourth- and eighth-grade level. “I do feel very strongly that a musical curriculum needs to be in place,” Culver said. “I don’t think of it as a frill.” Culver said the district’s administration and community have been supportive of the program. The cost varies per student between $80 to $140 a year depending on the grade level and if the participant needs transportation.

“The community has really supported us,” Culver said. Culver said he’s seeing a trend nationally where orchestra directors in school districts are incorporating alternative styles of music to attract students. He said rock, Celtic and Mariachi music is becoming more commonly included. “People are being pretty resourceful when it comes to recruiting,” Culver said. But it’s not just adding different styles of music that’s made orchestra popular at District 102. It’s Culver’s passion. “Tom’s love of many genres of music carries over into his orchestra,” colleague and orchestra teacher Jeff Teppema said. “For the past several years, he has ended the district’s final concert of the year with arrangements of classic rock songs for students.” Music is integral to Culver’s life, even outside of the classroom. As a multi-instrumentalist, Culver has been a working musician for more than 25 years. He’s performed with several popular rock, blues and jazz bands and is a member of the West Suburban Symphony Orchestra, the Harmonia String Quartet and the New Directions Cello Society,

which promotes non-classical cello styles. In 1991, the same year he started teaching at La Grange District 102, he co-founded the popular tribute band The Blooze Brothers and acted as its musical director and bassist for more than 20 years. When he felt the band was getting a little tired, he and a couple of other members started a new group. Strung Out, a classic rock band based in southern Illinois, features Culver on electric cello and violin. “We’re doing songs that everyone knows but that aren’t overplayed,” Culver said. “And using the electric cello really gives us a unique sound because it can sound like an Eric Clapton guitar solo or the string section in ‘Eleanor Rigby.’” Covering material from the late ‘60s and ‘70s, Strung Out has been gaining popularity, Culver said. “We play the Beatles, Steely Dan, Led Zeppelin, The Doobie Brothers and even some of the one-hit wonder bands of the era,” Culver said. “It’s great that we can cover almost anything both instrumentally and vocally. It’s a lot of fun playing the music I grew up with and giving these songs a new twist.”

LA GRANGE — Because of Lyons Township High School’s upset during the recent Chicago International Model United Nations 50school convention, where they earned Best Delegation, LT Model UN is now ranked first in Illinois and ninth in North America. Rankings are determined by Best Delegate, an education company that helps students and teachers worldwide succeed at Model United Nations through workshops, consulting and online resources. LT MUN is gearing up for its next challenge, SILTMUN, a Model United Nations conference jointly hosted by students from St. Ignatius College Prep and LT scheduled for Feb. 2. SILTMUN was started in 2011 with its first conference at St. Ignatius. SILTMUN is a one-day training conference with a focus on cabinets and crises that challenge new and veteran delegates alike. The Model United Nations experience allows participants to represent their assigned country’s position and work toward resolving issues of global importance.

LA GRANGE — La Grange officials advise residents that Commonwealth Edison will be conducting overhead utility line clearance in the village during the next month. Utility line clearance involves trimming of trees and pruning shrubs and other vegetation on both public and private properties, which may interfere with electrical wires. This year, about 40 percent of La Grange has been identified for this cyclical treetrimming work. Tree trimming may or may not be required on an individual’s property, depending on the circuits that are part of this year’s program. Affected residents will receive a postcard explaining the program in more detail. Tree-trimming work will be performed at no charge to the resident by a company hired by ComEd, using qualified arborists specializing in utility work. Branches and other brush created as a result of the trimming work will be removed by the ComEd contractor. For information, call ComEd at 800334-7661 and ask to speak with a vegetation management representative.

The fiscal cliff was averted as of the new year, but here are some changes that may affect you in the upcoming year.

$ Payroll taxes are going up. The 2% reduction in payroll taxes expired as of Jan. 1, 2013. If you make $50,000 per year you will pay about $1,000 more this year in payroll taxes.

$ Two limits on tax exemptions and deductions for higher-income Americans will be reimposed: Personal

Exemption Phaseout (PEP) will be set at $250,000 and the itemized deduction limitation kicks in at $300,000.

$ Tax rates will permanently rise for families with income above $450,000 and individuals above $400,000. $ The tax on capital gains and dividends will be permanently set at 20 percent for those with income above the $450,000/$400,000 threshold. It will remain at 15 percent for everyone else.

$ The estate tax will be set at 40 percent for those at the $450,000/$400,000 threshold, with a $5 million exemption.

$ The 2009 expansion of tax breaks for low-income Americans: the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit, and the American Opportunity Tax Credit will be extended for five years.

$ The Alternative Minimum Tax will be permanently patched to avoid raising taxes on the middle-class.

Topinka must make state comptroller books available to public To the Editor: Our organization, For the Good of Illinois, filed a Freedom of Information Act request nine months ago asking Republican Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka to send us one year of the state’s checkbook. We were simply seeking an accounting of state expenditures so we could share that information with Illinois citizens through our online database. Our request for this information was rejected. The comptroller asserted that See LETTERS, Page 11

Thumbs Up — A local medical professional has demonstrated a true concern for cancer patients. Candice Washilewski, director of surgical services at Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital, worked with the Minneapolis-based Colon Cancer Coalition in 2010 to hold the group’s Get Your Rear in Gear 5k Run/Walk in the Chicago area. She donated $25,000 of the proceeds to the Adventist Cancer Institute, which will be constructed in Hinsdale. The race has become even more popular, with about 800 people participating last year. Washilewski has shown she’s committed to bringing comfort to people with colon cancer and advancing research to find a cure. Thumbs Up — Hollywood inched close to La Grange last month, and local residents were all abuzz. Actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who starred together in “That ‘70s Show,” were seen eating brunch together downtown Dec. 27 at prasino. The sighting lit up Twitter with speculation about what Kutcher and Kunis were doing in the region. News outlets have reported that the two are looking to buy a residence in the Chicago area. Maybe they’ve been perusing the real estate ads for the western suburbs. Have any Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down ideas? Send them to opinions@mysuburbanlife.com.

To the Editor: Having grown up in St. Hugh Parish, I enjoyed reading Lloyd Nelson’s story about the Rev. Marc Reszel (Suburban Life, Jan. 9). He grew up in La Grange and is now close to home as pastor of my beloved old church in Lyons. Here’s the sequel. My uncle, the Rev. Henry Kricek, also had a homecoming of sorts in July when he was named associate pastor at St. Louise de Marillac in La Grange Park. He grew up in St. Hugh Parish, was ordained a priest in 1980 and now — just like Rev. Reszel — is working close to home. Plus, there are some former Lyons residents who are now parishioners at St. Louise. We’re happy to have Uncle Henry back in the neighborhood, and he’s happy to be at St. Louise.

Continued from Page 9 “review, redaction and arrangement of all 2011 vendor payments would take multiple staff members, dedicated solely to this request, more than three days to complete.” Topinka’s office concluded that fulfilling the request was an “undue burden.” This conclusion is not credible, and her refusal is in fact against both the spirit and the letter of the law. Is the comptroller really going to argue that in this electronic age state government can’t produce a timely and organized checkbook? Is the comptroller’s office really that much of a mess? The fact our FOIA request is being denied by the state’s top financial officer because it’s inconvenient is inexcusable. Or is Comptroller Topinka trying to hide something? Here in Illinois, income tax rates rise as fast as 67 percent overnight and property taxes double every 10 years. You would think citizens should at least have access to detailed information showing how their tax dollars are being spent. The state’s checkbook should be “public information.” If this “business as usual” goes unchallenged, governmental entities

WESTCHESTER Police: Man assaults officer Tyrone Thompson, 45, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault to a police officer after he allegedly attempted to run over a police officer with his car at 6 p.m. Dec. 31 in the 10300 block of Kipling Avenue. Thompson, whom police did not provide an address for, also was charged with biting a woman and violating an order of protection.

DUI charged Hugo Hugger, 40, 131 Forest Ave., Hillside, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and speeding at 2:07 a.m. Dec. 31 in the 1800 block of Mannheim Road.

Vehicle damaged A resident of the 700 block of Cromwell Avenue reported that someone damaged his vehicle while it was parked in the street by knocking off his sideview mirror between 4:30 p.m. Jan. 1 and 11:30 a.m. Jan. 2.

across Illinois will begin denying citizen requests. Providing such information is the essence of the Freedom of Information Act. In fact, no other Illinois governmental entity has denied our similar FOIA requests. We’re not asking Comptroller Topinka to lead the charge for openness and accountability — we are simply asking her to follow the law, as did virtually every other state and local entity. Eight months ago, we asked Democratic Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office of public access counselor to render a legal opinion on Comptroller Topinka’s refusal to release one year’s information of the state’s checkbook. Initially, the attorney general opened a case saying, “further inquiry is warranted.” But after a few perfunctory phone calls and letters, we’ve had five months of silence. That is why, we filed a lawsuit last week to enforce the law: For The Good of Illinois Inc. v. Illinois Office of Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka. Sadly, our suit is the result of two of the biggest names in both political parties refusing to treat Illinois taxpayers and citizens with the respect they deserve and refusing to obey or enforce Illinois law.

Jim’s father joked that he had nine lives as his stories of close calls with infamous Chicago characters and lucky endings on the streets and overseas during wartime were too numerous to count.

and proud and lived his life on his own terms, no matter the cost, up until the end. Tellingly, he was a man who signed up for the Merchant Marines in World War II without knowing how to swim. He stuck around the war for a second stint, this time in the United States Army and found great solace and friendship in his later years in men like him that knew those war stories intimately themselves. Jim had a soft spot for all animals and was beloved by many a dog with an upset stomach but a joyous disposition at family meals. He was a firebrand blue collar democrat with a fierce political tongue, a man with a sharp mind for numbers and perfect recall of the city’s grid system, an indefatigable walker recognized throughout his community, a smart cookie who said more than once that his biggest regret was having to turn down a school scholarship in the post-depression years, and was a warm and tender grandpa who called himself a friend first and foremost to his grandchildren. Jim was a complex character whose warm voice and presence will be sorely missed. James was born in Chicago to Stanley and Margaret Mathews on December 29, 1924. He is preceded in death by his parents, Stanley and Margaret, and siblings Marjorie Ostrowski, Virginia Jensen, Donald Mathews, and Arlaine Cwick. Father of the late Bonnie McNamara and Caryl (Robert) Hodgdon, doting grandfather of Edward (Aziah) McNamara, Elizabeth (Brian) Donovan, Dylan (Carrie) Hodgdon, and Britt Hodgdon, and affectionate great-grandfather to Brendan, Sean, and Maeve Donovan, Christopher McNamara, and Shayla and Kaylin Hodgdon.

HOT SPOTS

MOVED TO MELT LETHARGY Atypical athletic facilities deliver indoor exercise alternatives

ust the idea of winter makes many want to curl up under a blanket by the fireplace with some good wine, snacks and a classic movie — and forget about going outside, let alone, exercising. When it’s too cold for that normal neighborhood jog, or your kids can’t participate in customary youth leagues with their friends, it’s time to find an alternative. There are plenty of options in the western suburbs for families looking to change up the typical indoor treadmill and elliptical-based gym. Forget tedious, boring exercise. This winter, shake things up at these unique gyms and athletic facilities.

Bounce Sportsplex Address: 3310 Grove Ave., Berwyn Contact: 630-430-0717, bouncesportsplex.com Who needs to battle the ever-changing outdoor weather, when you can get everything you want all year round under one roof? Bounce Sportsplex provides batting cages, basketball, a fitness and lesson area, and an indoor turf field that can be used for baseball, softball, soccer or lacrosse. The complex serves youth baseball and soccer players from all over the suburbs. Whether you’re on a team, or simply want to rent out the space, the Bounce Sportsplex is an indoor facility with ample space to let loose.

Westmont Yard Address: 233 W. 63rd St., Westmont Contact: 630-737-1000, westmontyard.com There’s nothing ordinary about this indoor, multi-sport, rubber-infill, turf field that provides a variety of different indoor sports. At Westmont Yard, there’s something for everyone. Throughout the week, there are open play times for youth soccer, lacrosse, adult soccer, ultimate Frisbee, mom soccer and athletic training. Child care is available, as are adult leagues and athletic-based birthday parties. For unique exercise, Westmont Yard also offers Reball, a paintless paintball session Friday nights. Shake up your winter months with your favorite sports at Westmont Yard.

Oak Brook Aquatic Center Address: 1450 Forest Gate Road, Oak Brook Contact: 630-990-4233, obparks.org/aquatics The Oak Brook Aquatic Center might not be in Florida surrounded by palm trees, but the warm water and beachlike atmosphere will suffice during chilly winter months. The award-winning indoor aquatic center features two pools, zero-depth entry for kids, water playground, a 105-foot slide, whirlpool and six, 25-yard lap lanes. Aside from open swim, the water park offers parent/tot swim lessons, youth swim lessons, private swim instruction and advanced training. And the tide is high for adult fun — from scuba diving certification to swim lessons, fitness training and fluid running in deep water. Daily fees for the aquatic center are $10 for resident adults, $12 for nonresident adults, and $6 and $8, respectively, for both youth and ages 55 and better.

Xtreme Trampolines Address: 485 Mission St., Carol Stream Contact: 630-752-1400, www.xtremetrampolines.com Are your kids bouncing off the walls at home during the cabin-fever months? Let them bounce off trampolines instead at Xtreme Trampolines. The facility has a foam pit, dodgeball trampoline court, and a variety of trampolines (both horizontal and semi-vertical) divided into age groups for safety. The combination makes for a never-ending bounce fest. If you have the urge to get your bounce on too, Xtreme Trampolines offers adult “Airobics” classes at 7 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. Classes cost $8 each, or $60 for 10 sessions. Xtreme Trampolines charges hourly for jumping fun, and prices start at $11 for the first hour, with each consecutive hour priced at $6.

Cantigny Golf Academy Address: 27W270 Mack Road, Wheaton Contact: 630-260-8236, www.cantignygolf.com The beautiful green golf course at Cantigny might be covered with frost, but that doesn’t mean you can’t practice your swing. Staff PGA professional Greg Baresel will lead the Winter Teaching Series at the Cantigny Golf Academy on various Wednesdays. The five-workshop series is open to the public, and can accommodate all skill levels. The series was set to kick off with “True Fundamentals of Golf” this week, continuing with “Fix My Slice!” on Jan. 30; “How to Be More Consistent” on Feb. 13; “Gain More Yards Off the Tee” on Feb. 27; and “The Best Way to Practice” on March 20.

CHIT-CHAT

TONGUES WAG

‘Sylvia’ fetches canine twist for mid-life comedy

In what’s described as a shaggy dog comedy, Jen Torchia of Lombard plays the four-legged title role in “Sylvia,” inventively conceived by playwright A.R. Gurney, and opening Jan. 17 at Theatre of Western Springs. Torchia, who has acting credits for stage, film and television, is about to portray one side of an unusual love triangle between Greg and Kate, who soon becomes jealous of her husband’s adoring, new best friend.

Explain the plot. I try to tell people it’s a little ‘Family Guy’ and a little ‘Wilfred,’ a television show on FX, except replace the male dogs with a sassy female who comes in as a perfect storm of mid-life crisis that the male character Greg is having, and kind of shakes up things in his life and also in his wife’s and their marriage. I hadn’t heard of the show until (TWS) announced the season. I check out everything that’s upcoming. As soon as I read ‘Sylvia,’ I thought, ‘I hope I get this.’

Is there a special costume for you? There’s a leash and collar, (but) no dog ears or tail. The costume suggests more her mood. People clothes, no dog sweaters — all convey her core emotions. Because she’s found in the park, she’s kind of scruffy. She comes back from the groomers and is very glamorous. When she’s in heat, she’s a little bit sexy.

Are there physical challenges in the role? I’m definitely in constant motion. I am all over the furniture. Especially, when I’m told not to be. I’m running around jumping into people’s arms, basically doing everything a dog would do. Lots of running, dancing. The way a dog tries to worm in between people, or snuggle up to get your attention.

How did you conceive your portrayal? I’ve had dogs all my life. Even though universally … they love unconditionally … they all had their own personalities. I try to give Sylvia a taste of that.

When did you first appear at TWS? I think I enrolled … in 2004. My last show was last season, ‘The Melville Boys,’ also a comedy. I love comedies.

How about your co-stars? They’re really a pleasure to work with. Karen (Holbert of Western Springs as Kate) is unbelievable — so expressive and funny. She can find humor in any gesture and facial expression. Joe (Mills of Westchester as Greg) is so cute and genuine and very, very funny. Mark (Cunningham of La Grange) plays three really different characters. I

watched one of his scenes … and I was falling out of the chair. I’m honored to be beside all of them. Sounds like audiences are in for a treat. As far as getting used to the fact that I am a dog, hopefully, it will come across very quickly. It’s so funny, the metaphor of the mid-life crisis and the new addition to the household — where Greg falls in love with this creature who dotes on him, and his wife (wonders) what is going on here. It will be something really different for audiences. It’s not your typical love affair. — RENEE TOMELL

BREAKOUT

PLAYERS Lyons Township sophomore Harrison Niego puts up a shot during a game earlier this season. Bill Ackerman — backerman@shawmedia.com

BREAKOUT PLAYERS

Veteran stars play a huge role as leaders on the court. But they weren’t always stars — they had to break into the spotlight. These players are experiencing their breakout seasons right now.

Bill Ackerman — backerman@shawmedia.com

GABY GALASSINI School: Lyons Township girls Class: Sophomore Position: Point guard Impact: Galassini is the only varsity newcomer to crack the LT starting lineup. The sophomore had a tall task in filling the spot of current Iona guard Colleen Connors, but she has adapted well. Galassini stands just 5-foot-3, but her quickness and ball handling ability have made her a valuable addition to the Lions this season.

HARRISON NEGO School: Lyons Township boys Class: Sophomore Position: Point guard Impact: Nego stepped right into the starting lineup for the Lions and has been a rock at point guard this season. The sophomore is already attracting interest from big college programs due to his instincts for the game, his work ethic and his shooting touch. “He’s good in all facets of the game,” LT coach Tom Sloan said. “I look at him like a senior on the floor and he’s only a sophomore so that’s a good feeling.”

Bill Ackerman — backerman@shawmedia.com

JANAE DABNEY

DOMINICK ROBY

KAYLA FREEMAN

CANDACE MADISON

AMANDA KUBICKI

School: Riverside Brookfield girls Class: Sophomore Position: Forward Impact: Dabney has been a key addition to the Bulldogs in her first varsity season. The sophomore has joined seniors Hannah Claywell and Brittney JnoBaptiste as the three big statistical leaders for RB. Dabney is RB’s third-leading scorer with more than nine points per game and is just behind JnoBaptiste for the team lead in rebounds at just shy of eight per game.

School: Proviso West boys Class: Senior Position: Forward Impact: The Panthers returned the core of its team from last year, but Roby’s been a more consistent figure in West’s offense this season. The senior forward scored a season-high 22 points against Fenwick in the first round of the Proviso West Holiday Tournament and has been among the team’s top scorers alongside fellow returners Lawrence Moore, Taylor Watkins and Joshua Thompson.

School: Nazareth girls Class: Senior Position: Guard Impact: The Roadrunner senior had the task of replacing guard Tricia Masterson from last year’s team and hit the ground running. Freeman began the season hot as Naz’s leading scorer during the team’s 8-0 start and hasn’t looked back. Freeman has made her senior year a memorable one by helping Naz win a tournament at Elgin and share the Thanksgiving tournament title at Riverside Brookfield.

School: Proviso West girls Class: Senior Position: Center Impact: The Panthers have been one of the surprise teams in the West Suburban Silver. West entered last weekend undefeated in conference play. Madison has teamed with junior guard Mikaela Boyd to form a strong inside-outside pair. Boyd is the team’s leading scorer and perimeter threat while 5-foot-10 Madison handles the tough work inside.

School: Morton girls Class: Senior Position: Forward Impact: Morton is much improved from last year’s team mostly due to the strong play of seniors like Kubicki. Fellow seniors Isza Gonzalez and Neriangela Velez are the Mustangs’ leading scorers and most experienced varsity players, but Kubicki is the top inside presence. Kubicki’s post play has given Morton some toughness and another dynamic to the team.

Sarah Minor — sminor@ shawmedia. com

JACK VANDEMERKT School: Riverside Brookfield boys Class: Junior Position: Forward Impact: RB already had two standout players, Miki Ljuboja and Damonta Henry, returning so the question mark coming into the season was the supporting cast. VandeMerkt, a 6-foot-6 forward with three-point shooting range, has been part of the answer. He has worked his way into the starting lineup and has been a key to the Bulldogs’ recent hot streak.

WEISNER PEREZ School: Morton boys Class: Sophomore Position: Forward Impact: Perez joined the varsity team midseason and came off the bench as a freshman last season, but he has become one of the Mustangs’ key players this winter. He has teamed with his older brother, Waller, to form a dominant rebounding pair inside for Morton, frequently recording double-doubles this season. “He’s a great player, great kid and he hustles,” Waller Perez said.

MICHAEL SMITH

KEVIN CONNELLY

SHAAKERA JONES

JORDAN ASH

DEJA CAGE

School: Fenwick boys Class: Freshman Position: Guard Impact: On a team with so many returners back it’s impressive that Smith was able to break into the Fenwick rotation and become a major contributor before long. The Friars had just one contributing senior last year and has just one this year. Smith scored 11 points in the crosstown win at Oak ParkRiver Forest on Dec. 1 and has scored in double figures in five games since then.

School: Nazareth boys Class: Junior Position: Guard Impact: After transferring from St. Ignatius, Connelly has stepped right in as a regular starter for the Roadrunners. Tyler Jackson, John Bonk Jr. and Dan Kienzle have made for a strong returning core for an improved Nazareth team. Connelly has joined them and shown that he is capable of scoring in double figures in almost any game.

School: St. Joseph girls Class: Senior Position: Center Impact: Jones has more than doubled her scoring output from a year ago to take over as the Chargers’ top scorer. The 6-foot-1 center leads the team in points (13.1 per game) and rebounds (6.4).

School: St. Joseph boys Class: Sophomore Position: Guard Impact: The Chargers have a long line of talented players that have gone on to play big time college basketball or even make the NBA. Jordan Ash is the latest Charger with the potential to join that group. Just a sophomore, Ash already has offers from Northwestern, DePaul and Purdue. Despite a talented roster filled with college prospects, the Chargers have failed to match high expectations this season but Ash has been a bright spot. The guard scored double figures in each of St. Joe’s five games at the Proviso West Holiday Tournament.

School: Fenwick girls Class: Freshman Position: Guard Impact: Cage had a coming out party at Dundee-Crown’s Charger Classic. The freshman was named to the all-tournament team after averaging 15.3 points per game in the four games. Fenwick plays fast and shoots lots of threes, both things Cage has no problem doing. Cage is definitely a talent to watch over the next few years.

Lions win big on Bulls’ floor By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com

The United Center is the Mecca of Chicago basketball, so when the Lyons Township boys basketball team played there Saturday it was an unforgettable opportunity to play at the house that Jordan built. LT had been there three years ago as part of the Chicago Bulls’ “Preps with the Pros” program and was invited back. The Bulls have high school teams play the day of a Saturday night game when the Next game NBA game later that date isn’t sold out yet. Fans who attend the high Who: Lyons Township school game must buy a Bulls ticket. at Proviso West The Lions already had a game with What: West Suburban Silver Prospect scheduled for December, but Conference game moved it to play at the UC. When: 6:00 p.m. The players got to shoot around on Friday the court and were allowed to dunk on Where: 4701 W. the NBA rims for those who are able to. Harrison St., Hillside LT spent time in the locker rooms and even saw Derrick Rose preparing for his return from injury. “We’re in the underground dungeon of the building and it’s not really a big deal, but as you walk out from the tunnel and onto the floor the kids are wide-eyed,” LT coach Tom Sloan said. “It was funny watching them because we did it three years ago and I’ve been in big arenas before but for a lot of the kids I think it was the first time.” The Lions not only enjoyed the surroundings, but had one of their best games of the season. LT won 65-36 against a Prospect team that is undefeated in the Mid Suburban League East. “Thankfully the kids channeled that energy and played very well,” Sloan said. “It definitely is going to give us some momentum heading into this week.”

RIVERSIDE BROOKFIELD The Bulldogs pulled out a nail-biting 61-60 win in a playoff-caliber atmosphere at Ridgewood Friday night. Damonta Henry (17 points) gave the Bulldogs a two-point lead in the final minute on a pair of free throws and RB survived when Ridgewood’s Igor Cirkovic missed a potential gametying free throw with no time on the clock. Cirkovic drew a foul as time expired and made the first free throw, but couldn’t convert the second. Will Kincanon scored a career-high 21 points for RB, including 15 in the second half. The Bulldogs (13-4, 5-0) are now two games ahead of the trailing pack in the Metro Suburban Conference. LYONS TOWNSHIP Chris O’Reilly’s 10 points weren’t enough in the Lions’ 55-39 loss to rival Hinsdale Central on Friday. LT got back on the winning trail with a 65-36 demolition of Prospect Saturday at the United Center. Sophomore Harrison Nego scored 20 points at the home of the Bulls. Connor Onion and Jarryd Heath scored eight each for LT (7-9, 1-4). MORTON Jarvis Cannon scored 22 points, but the Mustangs still couldn’t stay with Proviso East Friday in Maywood. The Pirates came away with a 68-43 win. Both teams entered undefeated in the West Suburban Gold. Morton picked up its 10th win of the season on Saturday by beating Schaumburg 61-55. Greg Carter led the way with 16 points. Weisner Perez (15), Cannon (13) and Rodrigo Nava (11) also scored in double figures. FENWICK The Friars pulled out n 42-35 overtime win over Gordon Tech on Friday. Scott Lindsey scored 11 points and freshman Michael Smith had 10 points.

Hannah Claywell scored 27 points and Janae Dabney added 18. The Bulldogs (16-3, 6-1) host Lyons Township on Friday and Timothy Christian on Saturday. LYONS TOWNSHIP The Lions knocked off neighbors Nazareth 53-27 on the road last Tuesday. They hosted West Suburban Silver leader Proviso West on Saturday and fell in a close game to the Panthers for the second time. LT lost 51-46. The Lions (11-7, 3-5) travel to Riverside Brookfield on Friday. FENWICK Three players scored in double figures to give the Friars a 72-55 win over Benet in East Suburban Catholic Conference action. Maya Garland and Deja Cage scored 16 points each. Maggie Reilly contributed 12 points. The Friars are 15-2 and 4-1 in the ESCC. NAZARETH Tetre'annah Cross scored 14 points and Kayla Freeman added 13 to help the Roadrunners pick up their first conference win of the year on Friday as Naz beat St. Viator 43-41 on the road. Three days earlier the Roadrunners fell to Lyons Township 53-27. ST. JOSEPH The Chargers lost a pair of games last week. On Thursday Resurrection topped St. Joseph 60-34. Chanel Brown led the Chargers with 10 points. Brown and Shaakera Jones each scored 11 in a 38-36 loss to De La Salle on Saturday. PROVISO WEST The Panthers picked up a pair of big wins in the West Suburban Silver to move all alone at the top of the league standings with a 6-0 record. West beat Hinsdale Central 54-46 on Friday in a meeting between two conference unbeatens.

a positive employment report for December. The economy added 155,000 jobs, above the consensus market forecast, and November’s job growth was revised upward by another 24,000 workers. This helped keep the unemployment rate steady at 7.8 percent, the lowest since December 2008. For all of 2012, 1.86 million jobs were created and represented the largest annual gain since 2006.” Get the latest information from Freddie Mac’s Office of the Chief Economist on Twitter: @FreddieMac Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation’s residential mortgage markets. Freddie Mac supports communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to lenders.
