West Liberty Foods to build bring jobs to Bolingbrook The Iowa-based company purchased Quantam manufacturing plants in June

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

When Quantum Foods in Bolingbrook closed its doors in May, then sitting vacant for months, there was concern for the number of jobs lost and a unique building that had the potential to sit unoccupied.

Fast forward six months with the addition of West Liberty Foods, the situation has done a complete 180. The Iowabased company purchased the manufacturing plants in June, began hiring nearly 190 employees, starting operations, and has just announced plans to build a 160,000-square-foot cold storage distribution center with room for further expansion in

Bolingbrook, bringing with it a potential for up to 600 jobs.

“We were concerned when Quantum closed—this was a one-of-a-kind building that no one wants to retrofit,” said Mayor Roger Claar. “As luck would have it, West Liberty came along and purchased the building. We heard they wanted to build, and they wanted to keep it in Bolingbrook, too …This is a great project and a great use. We are thrilled they chose Bolingbrook, and we are looking forward to construction.”

Tim Cox of West Liberty Foods said the company has grown and is now proud to bring the cold storage distribution in-house and looking forward to doing so in Bolingbrook.

Cox said the company plans to extend its distribution of meats to

Considering the unique nature of a cold storage plant requiring heated subfloors, it was paramount to build new rather than try to retrofit a warehouse building.

The concept plan shows new

construction to be built upon nearly 15 acres of vacant land at 1310 Remington Boulevard, just west of Weber Road, behind Tilted Kilt and the 7-eleven shopping plaza.

Quantum Foods had filed for bankruptcy earlier in the year, and the facility at 750 Crossroads was

shut down by a court order. In June, West Liberty Food purchased the 220,000-square-foot production facility and the 80,000-squarefoot culinary facility.

Upon purchase, West Liberty Foods said the facility, built in 1990, was in great shape with state-of-the-art equipment the company was already familiar with, making it a natural fit.

Jonathan Willigman, director of meat packaging, processing, and manufacturing, of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1546, said the union and West Liberty worked together to bring back the workers from Quantum with many of its employees from Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Joliet and Chicago.

West Liberty Foods has three manufacturing locations in West Liberty, Iowa, Mount Pleasant, Iowa and Tremonton, Utah. The company is headquartered in West Liberty, Iowa.

After 30 years in law enforcement, Bolingbrook Public Safety Director Kevin McCarthy is set to retire in January.

The Bolingbrook Village Board passed an ordinance appointing his replacement, deferring comment on McCarthy’s retirement until January while offering a preliminary welcome to the new director.

Tom Ross, 27-year-veteran in the department and resident of Bolingbrook since 1969, is slated to take his place Jan. 16, 2015.

Locals say immigration relief is ‘bittersweet’ Bolingbrook-based Southwest Suburban Immigrant Project reflects on President Obama’s immigration announcement

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Long overdue relief for immigrants is on its way, officials say, setting to change the quality of life for many. But the relief offered

by President Obama to the nation Nov. 20 remains bittersweet, they say.

The Bolingbrook-based Southwest Suburban Immigrant Project, whose goal is to strengthen the voices of the immigrant community living in Will and DuPage counties, held a watching party Nov. 20, anxious for President Barack Obama’s announcement on executive action that estimates say will save 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Obama told the nation in a televised report, “If you’ve been in America for more than five years; if you have children who are American citizens or legal residents; if you register, pass a criminal background check, and you’re willing to pay your fair share of taxes -- you’ll be able to apply to stay in this country temporarily,

without fear of deportation. You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law.”

Locally, in DuPage Township alone, SSIP Executive Director Jose Vera, said that will affect anywhere from 5,000 to 7,000 families.

“For us, with school districts that are 21 percent Latino, we know that there are many undocumented immigrants who have children in our schools who are U.S. citizens and now their parents can be, too,” said Vera. “This is keeping families together. They can live free from the fear of deportation.”

But it was a bittersweet moment when for the crowd of grandparents, parents and children gathered to hear the announcement, after an initial cheer, questions came about their likelihood of benefit and the answer came that nearly half wouldn’t be protected by the action.

“Our message is, ‘Thank you President Obama and Congressman Foster and others who supported this, this is a huge victory—but it still is not enough,’” said Vera. “This is only a temporary action, and one that has to be renewed and can be

changed by a new president.”

Vera’s own parents, will not benefit from the measure, though they have been in this country for twenty years fleeing from corruption in the police department where his father worked. Jose himself first came to the United States when he was eight-years-old.

“I sat at the table explaining the news to my parents and it broke my heart,” said Vera. “I had to tell them what we had been fighting for was not enough. Their only concern was for me, content that I would benefit from the action. But not me, I am not done yet. ” It is those families and the human nature of the issue that U.S. Rep. Bill Foster wants to remind politicians of in the midst of all the backlash and tension created by the President’s action.

“It was quite moving to sit with everyone at SSIP, there were parents and little kids running about, and when the announcement came on, they were riveted,” said Foster. “…We can never forget the human dimension. When I was watching everyone, it made me realize what it would be like to have your family just ripped apart. ...”

“We have ignored our broken immigration system for too long, and I am pleased that the President

Contentious partisan vote decides 2015 county budget Members voted 14 times to break partisan tie votes on $465 million 2014-15 budget By nick reiher

managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

Even after having to vote 14 times to break partisan tie votes on the $465 million 2014-15 budget, Will County Executive Larry Walsh still had a lot to say to reporters after the Nov. 20 meeting.

Since Democrats won the majority in 2012, the board had been split with 13 Democrats and 13 Republicans. Walsh, a Democrat, broke any ties. Most often, that had been on board leadership issues.

During the 2013-14 county budget vote, Republican Tom Weigel, R-New Lenox, voted with the Democrats to include new housing and increased property assessments when determining how much property taxes the county would seek toward its budget.

This year, Walsh and the

Democrats wanted to do the same thing, with a proposed $66 million sought for property taxes toward a $192 million corporate budget. Republicans had offered a compromise: keep the tax levy where is and just get the bump in assessed valuation from new construction during the past year.

The county then could deduct the $1.5 million difference from the capital budget.

They didn’t buy Finance Committee Chair Steve Wilhelmi’s estimate the increase would mean only an additional $5 a year in county taxes. They did not want to see a tax increase, no matter how small it might seem to some.

“At what amount does a tax increase become significant,” asked a fired-up Jim Moustis after the meeting. The Republican Caucus Chair from Frankfort said there are other ways to raise funds, such as sales taxes and user fees.

This time, Weigel stayed on his side of the aisle, leading to a 1313 split Walsh had to break for the budget and each of the 14 tax levy accounts.

“Unbelievable,” Walsh said to reporters afterward. “I’m astounded they carried the issue of providing revenue for capital projects … that they have talked about for two years and … basically in committee all agreed to. And yet, when it comes time to find funding for them …

Unbelievable.

“In my opinion, when I see this kind of action on $1.5 million, I don’t see how we are ever going to come close to find a doable way of funding a new courthouse.

I don’t see the fire is in their (Republicans’) belly to do it.

“What could have happened if I abstained? County government would have shut down.”

“It was a game of chicken,” said Nick Palmer, Walsh’s chief of staff. “They were depending on Larry to do the right thing.”

Walsh and Palmer wondered why the Republicans hadn’t given any specific directions where to

cut under their proposal, other than the capital budget.

The Finance Committee on Sept. 29 got the first look at the budget when they discussed revenues. At that meeting, several Republicans said they did not favor raising property taxes, even by taking into account all the land and value it could.

Republicans on the committee, including Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, and Mike Fricilone, R-Homer Township, said it was premature to talk about revenues before they took a crack at trimming Walsh’s budget proposal.

They said they would start doing that at the Oct. 7 Finance Committee meeting, but they did not then, nor at any of the other Finance Committee meetings where the budget was discussed.

Moustis said that was because, in part, there was nothing specific in the first year of Walsh’s proposed five-year, $32 million capital budget. Although the County Board through its various committees has discussed a wealth of projects, including a

new Laraway Road campus for the Sheriff’s Office and other county functions, he maintained there was nothing specific to cut.

Walsh said that was ludicrous, considering funds set aside in the first year of the capital plan for extending Joliet water and sewer to the current Laraway campus, “where every time they flush the toilets, it bubbles up outside.”

Walsh added that they have been fiscally conservative during all of this, cutting personnel and consolidating duties. He said, as he did in his initial budget address, Will County maintains a AA+ bond rating.

He said there shelves filled with consultants’ reports on various county plans that cost much more than the $1.5 million the Republicans wanted to cut.

With a new 15-11 majority on the board, Moustis said they will move these plans forward.

“They didn’t raise the money,” Walsh said of the Republicans’ refusal to vote on the budget, “but now they get to spend it.”

Proposed law would help continue electronics recycling House Bill 4042 helps to correct the problem by raising the goal percentages The Will County Board on Nov. 20 approved a Resolution “Supporting Revisions to the Current Electronics Recycling Law.” Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, Chair of the Illinois General Assembly House Environment Committee, has introduced HB 4042 to help Will County and the rest of the State ensure adequate funding of their residential electronic recycling programs.

Will County has a vested interest in this issue due to having provided electronics recycling to its residents for fifteen years, and through its hired recycling company, collecting more than three million pounds of electronics each year over the past several years. However, if the funding goals are not raised to an adequate level and a lower cost alternative to discard/treat heavy CRT leaded glass are not approved during the upcoming veto or lame duck sessions, it is anticipated that many, if not all Illinois residential

electronics recycling

Because there are no electronic manufacturers (or jobs) in Illinois, these positions will not be impacted. For more information about this issue, contact Dean Olson at (815) 774-7891, or dolson@willcountygreen.com. electronic recycling programs will run out of funds by late spring 2015. Some programs have already been lost.

If electronics programs cannot continue, it is very likely that widespread open dumping will then occur, as it has in those areas that have already lost electronics recycling programs.

Local governments and taxpayers then will be paying millions of dollars collectively to get rid of electronics.

Officials Say Proposed Law Would Help Continue Electronics Recycling Programs Statewide. The Will County Board on Nov. 20 approved a Resolution “Supporting Revisions to the Current Electronics Recycling Law.” This begs the question: Why should Illinois taxpayers pay millions again (they already paid manufacturers when they bought the item) to get rid of their electronics?

The Electronics Products Recycling and Reuse Act, as currently written in Illinois State law, requires manufacturers to pay electronics recyclers a negotiated

amount based on a percentage of the sales or weight sold by them in Illinois two years prior (i.e. 2012 sales/weight is used for 2014). The manufacturers are required to set an adequate amount of funds aside when selling an electronic item to cover the cost of recycling and work through legitimate recycling firms to collect electronics for

recycling.

The percentage goals required by law have been too low (e.g. currently 50 percent by weight), which has been further aggravated recently by a large influx of CRT/ TV leaded glass, which is quite heavy and costly to recycle due to limited options. House Bill 4042 helps to correct the problem by raising the goal percentages (funding level) and allowing a cost effective method of CRT/ TV glass treatment/storage in an Illinois landfill for future recycling (approved by IEPA).

It is important to note that in addition to the impacts to Illinois residents as outlined above, many Illinois jobs in the recycling sector have already been lost, and will continue to be eliminated, if legislation is not passed.

Because there are no electronic manufacturers (or jobs) in Illinois, these positions will not be impacted. For more information about this issue, contact Dean Olson at (815) 7747891, or dolson@willcountygreen. com.

I had no skin in the game. Either guy seemed OK. I don’t really know them all that well.

That said, waiting for the final votes to be counted for the Will County Sheriff’s race was pretty exciting, more so than I thought it would be.

You had a race so close on Nov. 4 that Republican Ken Kaupas, appointed Deputy Chief by his cousin Paul nearly four years ago, led by fewer than 300 votes out of a total of nearly 200,000 countywide over Democratic candidate Mike Kelley.

Were this being written on an old typewriter, I would have had to get the Wite-Out out for that last sentence.

I had mistakenly typed “Democratic challenger” for Kelley. “Challenger” usually means someone going up against an incumbent, and, of course, Ken Kaupas is not.

That doesn’t mean it didn’t seem like Ken Kaupas was the incumbent. I had mentioned for several months Cousin Paul seemed to disappear, with Ken taking the media calls and getting a lot of press. Cynics would think that was planned. A group of cynics even started a website during the campaign: kensnotpaul.com. Pretty funny.

But, all’s fair in love and elections.

Speaking of which, I marvel at how Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots keeps things humming during

elections and extended situations like the provisional/absentee count on Nov. 18. I climbed the stairs to the second floor of the Will County Office Building that morning, and outside the boardroom were the most people I had seen there since the union was protesting this time last year.

These were poll watchers and a bevy of attorneys watching the poll watchers.

Thank God no one slipped and fell, or they would have had 50 business cards in their face. All of these people were milling about, hovering over the coffee and one box of donuts. One box.

With law enforcement around, too. I’m surprised lives weren’t lost.

In the midst of all this was a tiny, energetic woman leading the charge with her staff, making sure all of this provisional/absentee stuff was going according to Hoyle, who I think was a state rep. from Bonfield back in the 1930s.

She kept everyone informed as to what was going on and likely how long it would take to get ‘er done. When I heard it wouldn’t be until after 2 p.m., I gave up my seat and headed out to lunch with my Exchange Club homies.

Not long after I returned, I spied both Ken Kaupas and Kelley with pained expressions on their faces. Their fate was getting close. I looked at some of the others around the room supporting their candidates, and they had those pained expressions, too. I silently said a thanks I really didn’t care which one won. I would have to work with either.

Then a strange thing happened.

I wish all the winners in the Nov. 4 election good luck, and I thank all of you – win or lose – for taking the time to run. It’s a lot more than a lot of us would do.

Voots steered the candidates and their entourages downstairs to the county computer room. The ballots had been fed into counters, the flash drives removed and would be uploaded into the computers downstairs.

So we all headed down the stairs and crowded into a corner of the room where one person handed the flash drives to another person to plug into the computer that would count all the votes. After the last one was fed in, the county counter said it would take a few minutes to update.

I had a camera trained on the two candidates, who stood next to each other during the count. They got along. Kaupas is Kelley’s boss in the department.

But within a few minutes, that all turned around. Ken Kaupas shook Kelley’s hand and congratulated him, and they and the entourages headed back upstairs.

I had to admit that even cynical me got a rush out of that.

I wish all the winners in the Nov. 4 election good luck, and I thank all of you – win or lose – for taking the time to run. It’s a lot more than a lot of us would do.

letter to the editor

Hoping elected officials embrace their positions, not abuse them Serving as an elected official should be an honor and a privilege, not a seat to keep warm Although we just completed a vibrant and somewhat divisive election, our problems both state and federal are not only serious, but also immediate. A proper solution is vital to the continued way of life as we know it and the world we will leave to future generations.

Economic, fiscal, immigration, pension, term limits, issue, etc., are

universal to us all and aren’t particular to any political or social group. If we fail to properly resolve these issues, we will all suffer and suffer severely.

A dim future is very close at this time unless we act prudently and expeditiously.

Serving as an elected official should be an honor and a privilege and desire to do the peoples’ work, not a seat to

keep warm. Nor should the position be a forever occupation because a person in the position tends to get stale and/or beholding to influence groups after two terms.

I would hope that all those elected officials embrace their positions, expend the needed energy and talent, work together, compromise, and get these problems resolved. Only then will we the people whom they serve benefit from their work.

Mike Kelley edges Ken Kaupas in sheriff’s race Provisional, absentee ballots boost Democrat to Sheriff’s post By nick reiher

managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

Mike Kelley of Lockport said it was like waiting for his first son to be born 18 years ago. And the end result this time was a big win for him as well.

After six hours of waiting for more than 3,000 the provisional and absentee votes to be counted on Nov. 18, Kelley learned he had won the Will County Sheriff’s race over his boss, Chief Deputy

Ken Kaupas, by a little more than 400 votes.

“At first, I just saw the 2s in the last column, and I thought, ‘Here we go again,’” Kelley said afterward. “But then I saw the 4 (hundred), and I was OK.” While waiting earlier in the day, Kelley said he started getting a case of nerves around 6 p.m. the night before. As the votes were being processed, both candidates walked around the Will County Boardroom looking pretty uncomfortable. Several people joked there must not have been much going on at the Will County Courthouse that day with all the attorneys on hand to watch the proceedings.

Counting provisional and absentee ballots generally takes only a few hours. Provisionals

usually are the ones for residents who came to the polling place, explained that they had registered to vote and asked to vote – but the polling place did not have documentation showing the resident actually was registered.

There were 658 of those type of provisional ballots this year, said Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots, as well as 1,674 absentee votes to be counted. They had to wait a couple weeks for the absentee ballots to be mailed in because they might be coming from as far away as China, Voots said.

But this year, a new law just for the Nov. 4 election allowed people statewide to register to vote that day. In Will County, Voots said, there were an additional 733 of those types of provisional votes, cast in one of five spots chosen by

population: the clerk’s office, the Joliet Park District headquarters, Bolingbrook Village Hall, Wheatland Township Offices and at the City of Naperville.

A deflated Kaupas said after the count he believed those votes were the ones that did him in. Those votes, he said, “played well for the Democrats.”

He said he would talk to his political advisers about challenging the vote. “I’m not a politician,” he said. “But I would say it was unlikely.

“We worked hard. We ran a good race. A clean race. We knew it was going to be close.” It was close after the initial votes were counted Nov. 4, when Kaupas led by fewer than 300 votes out of nearly 200,000 cast countywide.

Kelley said he and Kaupas joked

about that during the past two weeks. “There is no bad blood between him and I,” Kelley said.

“There never was.”

But Kelley also noted Kaupas, the cousin of outgoing Sheriff Paul Kaupas, was appointed Deputy Chief in 2011. Kaupas came from District 5 State Police the previous December to become Director of Media Affairs for the Sheriff’s Department until his appointment a few weeks later.

Kelley said he’ll need to talk to Ken Kaupas about his plans now; whether he will want to continue in the Sheriff’s Department. “And then I’ll have to decide,” Kelley added. After all that, the results – all results – won’t be official until the votes are canvassed on Nov. 25.

Benet’s Fara

tabbed POY Senior paced Redwings to Class 4A state championship

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

This season, Benet senior middle Rachael Fara may not have posted the flashy stats of other players on other teams in other conferences with other schedules.

But what Fara did do is lead her team to a school-best 41-1 season and the Class 4A state championship, her third as a member of the Redwings.

The Northwestern recruit did it all while being the key focus of other teams and being gameplanned for every match.

For her efforts, Fara is the 2014 Voyager Media Volleyball Player of the Year.

“She impacts the game in so many ways not on a stat sheet,” said Benet coach Brad Baker.

“Just her presence at the net changes games. She is big and long and closes blocks so well and makes people hit shots they don’t normally hit.”

Baker said that was the case in the state final tilt, where Benet won 25-10, 25-10, keeping Libertyville to a record-low 20 points in the match.

“They were so committed to her and that is why our pin hitters had a field day,” Baker said. “Every time she goes anywhere, they have two blockers on her and that is the kind of attention she draws and we just recognize that. They don’t want to go toward her. It is so hard

to explain the value of someone when a team game plans that much for her.”

Fara understands the attention she draws and doesn’t worry about how it impacts her numbers, but more how it impacts the team’s chances for success.

“I still have to figure out another way to score or keep that other blocker focused on me and then my teammates have a chance to put the balls down when I can’t,” she said. “Not every match will be my match and our lineup is extremely deep, even bench players could play for us and be starters on other teams.”

She knows however, that post season accolades usually are given to the player that lights up the box score.

“I consider that a huge respect to myself that I get noticed,” she said.

The Rest of the Voyager Media All-Area Team consists of:

NATALIE CANULLI Benet’s standout senior libero signed with Penn State before her junior year, and was instrumental in the Redwings’ march to this year’s Class 4A state championship.

She amassed 409 digs, and had 16 in the state championship match.

“Natalie is one of the best defenders in our state,” said Benet coach Brad Baker. “She has played huge for us in the biggest matches,

All-area | from page 11 especially this year at the state championship.”

TIFFANY CLARK Benet coach Brad Baker calls

Clark, a junior, “The best defensive outside hitter in the state.” Clark had accumulated 161 kills and 363 digs prior to the state tourney for the 41-1 Redwings.

“She consistently gets us extra

swings and keeps plays alive that no other players in the state can do,” Baker said. “Tiffany also brings an attitude of mental toughness that is rare for high school players.”

ELEXIS COLEMAN Joliet West senior middle hitter tallied 42 aces, 251 kills, 150 digs and 50 blocks.

Coleman is a four-year varsity starter committed to Southern Indiana University. She was named all-conference the last two years.

She was All-tournament this year at Joliet Central, Oswego East and Lake Forest tournaments.

“Elexis developed into our go to player as the year went on,” said West coach Al Mart. “What’s most impressive about Lex is that she became a complete player this year. Her defense and serve receive were areas that she focused on and became a quality player who needed to be on the floor all the time. I’m so proud of the player and young lady she became.”

coach Tracey Marshall said. “As a senior this year she took charge both offensively and defensively with her attacking and blocking.

She was consistently in the top kill leaders each match for us this year.

Off the court Kaitlyn is a stellar student and also is a volunteer in the community.”

DANA GRIFFIN Griffin, a 5-11 senior outside hitter, led Benet with 284 kills; she was one of three Redwing players to record 200-or -kills this season. Griffin also was an effective defensive player, notching 244 digs, and was second on the club in aces with 35.

“Her ability to hit every shot and to do so with power makes her a very effective attacker,” said Baker.

“Every high level volleyball team has a great outside hitter that can score and Dana is that girl for us.”

ELIZABETH HYLAND

The senior outside hitter for Maine East was a four-year starter for coach Anne Bezek’s squad. One of the most dominant and consistent players in the CSL Conference this season, Farley totaled 232 kills with a hitting percentage of 88, and 172 digs. She also had a 2.42/3.00 servereceive average.

“She is not only an amazing front-row player but led the team in serve percentage (94.3 percent) and has been solid in the back row for us as well,” Bezek said.

Plainfield Central’s leader, Hyland, a senior, posted an areabest 363 kills, hit .343, had 18 aces, 68 blocks and 238 digs for the sectional finalist. She signed to continue her career at Lewis University.

“Hyland is the cornerstone of our team,” Central coach Erik Vogt said.

“She has put in a great deal of time and energy to make herself into one of the best hitters in the state of Illinois. She played her best when the best is demanded of her. She is one of the most unselfish people you’ll ever meet and always puts her team before herself.”

KAITLYN FISHER

GRACE LARSON

The senior right side hitter had 322 kills, 191 digs, 28 aces and 73 blocks for sectional champion Plainfield North. She is committed to play at D-I Fairfield University.

“Kaitlyn was voted as a team captain by her peers this year because of her incredible on the court leadership style,” North

A three-year starter for coach Mark Wasik’s Downers North Trojans, the senior outside hitter racked up a team-best 326 kills and also registered 228 digs, 37 aces and an 82 percent dig percentage.

Larson will continue her playing career at Wayne State University.

“What was most impressive

HANNAH FARLEY

about Grace was that she continually delivered for her team while playing one of the most competitive schedules in the state,” Wasik said.

ALLIE LINDROTH The Northwestern recruit from Plainfield North tallied 358 kills, 212 digs, 32 aces and 47 blocks for the Tigers.

“Allie Lindroth embodies what a coach looks for in a studentathlete in that she is coachable, works extremely hard and leads by example on and off the court both athletically and academically,” Marshall said. “On the court, Allie is a tremendous leader for us in her ability to play at a high level consistently. She is a vocal leader as well and is always motivating her team to do their best. Off the court, Lindroth reaches down into the younger age group and mentors through our Big Sister/Little Sister program and volunteers to coach in our youth camp program.

Voted as one of the team captain’s this year she is the player that is highly respected and looked up to throughout the program.”

MARY MURPHY The JCA senior was the leader of the Joliet Catholic Academy volleyball team that placed second in Class 3A and was named to the All-ESCC team.

She paced the team with 327 kills and was second on the team with 356 assists, adding 116 digs, 45 aces and 32 blocks.

“Mary is a true leader and has great knowledge of the game,” said JCA coach Christine Schiebe. “I can put her anywhere and she will get the job done. She has set, played right side and outside for us.”

MADDIE NAAL The senior middle hitter paced the team with 71 blocks, adding

“Maddie has pushed herself this season to become a faster and more dominant player,” Schiebe said.

“She has been a big threat in the middle for the Angels this season.”

HALLEY PARDY

terminated from the outside and the back row when we needed a big swing,” said Minooka coach Chris Hoelscher. “She was a six-rotation player for the first time this season and solidified our defense and passing. She is definitely a player who gets other teams’ attention.”

ASHLEY SHOOK

GINGER PERINAR

The sophomore setter from Plainfield Central had 746 Assists, 105 kills, a .350 hitting percentage, 29 aces, 81 blocks and 166 digs.

“She is one of the most dynamic setters in Illinois,” Vogt said. “Ashley elevates the level of play of her teammates with her ability to give perfect sets in the most difficult situations. A shutdown blocker with the ability to terminate the ball at will. She is a great teammate and a student of the game.”

The 6-foot, 2-inch junior outside hitter has been a three-year varsity player who is committed to Southern Illinois-Carbondale.

She was the team leader in kills with 330, a .323 hitting percentage.

She was second in digs (158), aces (48) and total blocks (42).

“Ginger was our go-to player. She

She was team captain and named all-conference. She was named all-tournament at Joliet Central, Oswego East and Lake Forest Invites.

She posted 62 aces, 274 kills, 165

Tallied 231 kills and 24 blocks for Westmont’s Class 2A regional championship team.

“She was instrumental in our one of them will be the determining factor in a win,” said Westmont coach Patti Cook. “They both have great experience, a high volleyball IQ and provide confidence and energy on the court.”

LAUREN STEFANSKI

digs and 57 blocks this season.

“Lauren really came on as a player this year. She led us in most statistical categories,” Mart said.

“She is just beginning to reach her full potential. She had a terrific junior year. With continued hard work in the off-season she should have a dominant senior year.”

LINDSEY VISVARDIS Senior libero from Lockport tallied 449 digs, 47 aces and 58 assists on the season. Headed to University of Massachusetts-Lowell.

“Lindsey has proven in every single match this year that teams should serve and hit away from her. Her ability to read hitters is like none that I’ve ever coached, and her strength of character and leadership shine through in her play,” said Lockport coach Erika Lange. “We had a very small inexperienced group of hitters this year, which meant that more pressure was put on her behind a smaller block, and more pressure was put on her to keep balls in play to give our hitters more opportunities. We still designed our serve receive and defense around her to funnel as much as possible her way and she

dominated in this position against the top teams in the area. Her stats show that she was an integral part of all aspects of our play this year, and I do believe her to be one of the top liberos in the state.”

KATIE VONDRA Vondra might be 5-6, but she played bigger than her height, leading Downers South with 222 kills as a six rotation outside hitter.

The senior and two-year team MVP also had a 2.41/3.00 serve-receive average, 17 blocks, and 321 digs this season.

“Katie has been a huge asset in our 21 wins for the season this year and our most relied-on player by all of her teammates,” said Downers South coach Trisha Kurth. “When her teammates need a sideout, they look to her.”

MACKENZIE WELSH Michigan recruit MacKenzi Welsh, a junior from Plainfield East, totaled 487 assists, 153 digs, 140 kills, 39 aces and 56 blocks.

“MacKenzi is a three-year starter on our varsity squad,” Plainfield East coach Emily Tonon said. “She came back into the setting role for us this

13

year and it has been an essential part of our offense this season.

“She has also really stepped up her defense and it show in her digging and blocking stats. As setter, her job on the court is vitally important to our success and she is able to read what is happening on both sides of the court so she can gauge where our most successful play might be.”

MADISEN ZYBURT A senior Libero from Plainfield North, Zyburt had 466 digs, 38 aces and 219 assists for the sectional champs. She will be continuing her career at Carson-Newman University in Tennessee.

“Maddie was voted program captain of the squad this year because of her incredible leadership qualities,” Marshall said. “She had a record-breaking season this year shattering the dig’s per season and overall career dig record in the program. She is more than a leader on the court, as with the other two captains listed Maddie worked as a volunteer in our youth program as a mentor and she volunteered with the school’s special needs program” Scott Taylor and Mike Sandrolini contributed

Dave Says

Protecting a loved one’s finances from them I appreciate the fact that you and your wife aren’t being greedy or opportunistic By dave ramsey dave says

www.daveramsey.com @DaveRamsey

Dear Dave, My mother-in-law is in poor health and doesn’t have a lot of money. She has been giving us a lot of her earnings over the last couple of years as a kind of early inheritance, because she’s afraid she’ll spend it all. We’re setting it aside in a savings account in case she needs it, but I still feel strange about the situation. What do you recommend we do?

Andrew Dear Andrew, This is an odd scenario. It’s

relief | from page 5 is taking action to improve our immigration system and provide temporary relief for some families,” he added. “These actions which are long overdue, will prevent millions of families from being torn apart, provide visas for highly-skilled workers, and give many immigrants relief from the fear of deportation.”

With Will County being a center for high-tech companies, Foster hears often of the fear of local businesses that their employees or their families could face deportation. He said, though all details have yet to be released, part of the executive action addresses the issue.

As part of the executive action, a report from the Department of Homeland Security outlines that it “will take a number of administrative actions to better enable U.S. businesses to hire and retain highly skilled foreignborn workers and strengthen and expand opportunities for students to gain on-the-job training. For example, because our immigration system suffers from extremely long waits for green cards, we will amend current regulations and make other administrative changes to provide needed flexibility to workers with approved employment-based green card petitions.”

Foster calls the President’s action a common sense move that will only benefit the economy.

“The President’s decision to issue work permits, so that immigrants

like taking donations from poor people because they refuse to address their own issues.

My recommendation is pretty simple. She needs to learn how to properly handle her own money. Obviously, it wouldn’t be a good idea for you to say that to your mother-in-law, so your wife should be the one who attempts to lovingly and carefully deliver the message. The conversation still may not be pleasant, but there’s a better chance she’ll listen to a daughter than to you.

I appreciate the fact that you and your wife aren’t being greedy or opportunistic about this situation. Setting the money aside

with strong ties to America, who pass criminal background checks, can work legally and pay their taxes is a common sense solution that will benefit our economy,” said Foster.

He also believes the move could spark an uptick in real estate, referencing statistics that estimate three million new home owners as a result, with the fear of deportation gone, opening the world of home ownership.

Foster agrees with Vera more needs to be done, calling for comprehensive immigration reform like that of a Senate-passed bipartisan bill introduced more than a year ago.

“To those who say this should not be done with executive action, the answer is simple: bring comprehensive immigration reform up for a vote in the House.

Like similar actions taken by his predecessors, including Presidents Reagan and Bush, President Obama’s actions will provide temporary relief, but what we really need is comprehensive immigration reform.

“Have the House bring it up for a vote, and then we can all see business owners smiling, church leaders smiling, and millions of Americans smiling.”

Verasaidwhiletheyarecelebrating a huge step in the right direction, the SSIP is ready to “continue the struggle until every immigrant doesn’t have to face the worry of detention or deportation and all immigrants in this country have a clear path to full citizenship.”

and earmarking it for your mother-in-law later on is an honorable thing.

If your wife can’t convince her mom to start taking care of her own finances, at least you can protect her from herself.

You’d still be treating the symptom instead of the problem, but if she won’t listen it may be the best you can do.

not, during which Baby Step do you recommend setting aside money for this?

Carrie Dear Carrie, I don’t have a Baby Step for weddings, but in Dave Says my mind it would come money advice by after Baby Step 5, which dave ramsey is putting aside a college fund for your children.

Once you have education savings, —Dave retirement and extra house payments underway, then you Wedding bells times could start putting aside a little three! extra for weddings.

This may not make me popular Dear Dave, We have three daughters with some young ladies or their under the age of 5, so we may be moms, but an education is more spending quite a bit on things like important than a wedding. Maybe weddings in the years to come. Is this is the dad in me coming out, there a Baby Step for weddings? If but if I had to choose between

paying for college educations and paying for big weddings, I’m going to pay for school. In my mind, anyone who disagrees with that is kind of a twit.

Weddings are wonderful, and you should mark these kinds of milestones with celebration.

But a wedding is only a one-day event. Plus, there’s absolutely no statistical correlation between the size and expense of the wedding and the success of the marriage!
