Law bans cell phone use in car

Bluetooth headsets, earpieces, voice-activated commands are permitted

ven as Valley View School District 365U administrators were busy determining whether to close schools because of the dangerous wind chills the area is experiencing, it was business as usual for several groups of dedicated VVSD individuals who must make sure buses are ready to go and facilities are safe

and warm every day for 18,000 students and 2,500 staff members.

“Maintaining the parking lots, sidewalks and indoor building climate takes an incredible amount of diligence and hard work,” said Michael Lopez, VVSD’s Director of Facility Operations.

“We are very fortunate to have an

intensely dedicated group of employees from both Facility Operations and Transportation who work together no matter what the weather to assure the safety and comfort of our students and staff,” added Lucy Harding, VVSD’s Director of Transportation.

Jan. 1 may have come and gone, but a few new laws will be staying on the books.

And motorists in particular need to take heed.

Public Act 98-0506 bans the use of handheld cell phone devices behind the wheel.

Bluetooth headsets, earpieces, and voiceactivated commands are permitted. The only exemptions from this law apply to law enforcement officers or first responders; drivers reporting emergencies and drivers using electronic devices while parked on the shoulder of a roadway.

“As with any new law, officers will use their discretion with enforcement and the main effort will be concentrated on enhancing public safety,” said Bolingbrook Lt. Mike Rompa.

Veterans learn new skills in New tax levy passes approved an approximate $17.7 CDL truck training program Trustees million tax levy for 2013, will be a slight Veterans are able to attend JJC’s grantfunded Driving America: One Veteran at a Time CDL Training Program free

For David Shrum of Bolingbrook, obtaining a CDL license is more than just being able to drive a semitruck;it’s about learning a new skill set to add to his resume. Shrum is a military veteran and thanks to Joliet Junior College’s grant-funded Driving America: One Veteran at a Time CDL Training Program, he is able to attend for free.

Shrum served in the U.S. Marine Corp. for 17 years as a Gunnery Sergeant.During his military career he spent a lot of time overseas with tours of duty in countries such as Japan, Guam, Korea and Philippines. After the military, Shrum worked at a company for nine years. However, when the economy took a downward turn, his position was eliminated and he was laid off. Shrum mentioned that while he was looking for a job, he would continually see help wanted ads looking for CDL drivers. Since he didn’t have that skill set, he would need additional training. Shrum said he believed that having those skills would increase his opportunities for employment.

U.S. Marine Corp. veteran David Shrum of Bolingbrook receives guidance from instructor Ron Swearingen during CDL training at Joliet Junior College. Swearingen is also a United States Navy veteran. As part of JJC’s grant-funded Driving America: One Veteran at a Time CDL Training Program, Shrum is able to attend CDL training at no cost.

Currently, he is working at the Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital.

He explained that in order to advance his career at the facility, he needs a CDL license since it is a requirement for some of the positions that he is interested in.So, when the opportunity presented itself to attend free CDL training, it seemed like perfect timing.

Shrum said, “This is a skill set that I’ll be able to use frequently.”

The CDL training program combines classroom instruction along with hands-on driving.

Shrum stated, “The training has been really good. With all of the

gauges and instrumentation, there is a lot more to driving a semitruck than you would think.There really is a lot of information that you need to know.”

He feels that the training as well as the instructors are preparing him well. He said, “I like that the training is very hands-on.The first time that I got in the truck, I was able to drive it. It’s helpful when you can actually drive the truck.”

University of St. Francis College of Education Alum of the year, Pioneer Elementary School ESL teacher Rita Guzman, works with Pioneer kindergartner Amay Mehta .

Pioneer Elementary School

USF honors ESL teacher Award is given annually to USF graduate who demonstrates strong service leadership both on the job and in the community Pioneer Elementary School English-as-a-Second-Language teacher Rita Guzman has been named Alum of the Year by the University of St. Francis College of Education.

The honor is bestowed annually to a USF graduate who demonstrates strong service leadership both on the job and in the community.

Guzman, who has been with ValleyView School District 365U since the 2002-03 school year, holds three different degrees from USF including a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and Master’s Degrees in both Educational Leadership and in Differentiated Instruction.

She is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Educational Leadership at the Joliet-based higher education institution.

A former 1st grade bilingual teacher at bothTibbott and Skoff elementary schools, Guzman came to Pioneer in 2010 as an ESL specialist. She is a member of the VVSD Parent Resource Network team and the VVSD Academic Committee, and has been at the forefront of VVSD Common Core State Standards curriculum development for ESL students. At Pioneer she is a member of the school’s Universal Leadership Team, a mentor for new teachers and one of the organizers of the

Multi-cultural Fair.

Guzman is one of only five teachers in Will County certified to work with both English Language Learners and special needs students.

Named United Way of Will County Volunteer of the Year in 2008 for working with families in the Joliet Diocese, she currently volunteers her time preparing meals for the homeless at the Daybreak Shelter and organizing special events for Will County’s Sunnyhill Nursing Home.

“We try to help out in the low income areas of the Joliet community as much as possible,” Guzman said. “I’m very fortunate to have had the opportunity to go to school. I do whatever I possibly can to support children and families who may not have that opportunity.”

Dealing with this week’s weather issues were a particular challenge because they occurred at the end of the two-week winter break.

Throughout all of last week, a team comprised of bus drivers and vehicle maintenance staff started and ran every bus for up to an hour in an effort to determine and fix any potential issues that would have prevented their use when classes resumed.

On Friday, following the New Year’s Day snow storm, 37 drivers reported at 6 a.m. to clean the snow off buses and move them around the lot so Facility Operations personnel could clear the snow from the parking lot and salt the walking surfaces.

“Whenever it snows, our Facility Operations crews work diligently through the night to keep the Transportation Center and parking areas cleared of snow and salted so that our staff can get to our facility and walk to their buses safely,” Harding said.

Monday morning, despite the dangerously cold temperatures, the Transportation teams were at work early in the morning starting every bus and making sure all is well. Once classes resume, bus drivers will all be asked to report to work an hour early (the first bus leaves the Transportation Center at 5 a.m.) and go through their regular daily routine of using ordinary brooms to clear snow and ice each bus’ eight-way lighting system, the hood, the emergency door, windows and

mirrors.

Meanwhile, throughout winter break, roughly 30 building and 25 district maintenance personnel have been on duty clearing snow and keeping sidewalks safe using snow blowers, 17 pickup trucks and two dump trucks with plows on the front, a tractor and a skid steer.

Because several local churches use school facilities each Sunday,Facility Operations crews were out very early Sunday morning, and kept working throughout the day to battle the snow and drifting.

The Sunday afternoon decision to cancel Monday classes gave them a brief respite over night before they once again headed out early Monday morning to clear lots and sidewalks.

A different Facility Operations crew works around the clock to make sure the proper temperatures are maintained inside all 22 school buildings. HVAC technicians use computers to monitor and adjust temperatures from a central site. In addition, when outdoor temperatures drop below zero building maintenance staff members make visual checks of their facilities.

“We want to make sure we avoid costly pipe freezeups and equipment failure,” Lopez said. “Plus maintaining consistent indoor temperatures throughout a building when outdoor temperatures are minus 10 degrees or more can be difficult.”

Lopez praised his team for its dedication.

“During these winter months in particular, they realize that their tireless efforts result in supporting a safe and warm environment for students and staff,” he said.

THE BUGLE JANUARY 9, 2014

PHONE Continued from page 1 Motorists who violate the law will be fined a maximum of $75 for a first offense, $100 for a second offense, $125 for a third offense and $150 for a fourth or subsequent offense.

Penalties for distracted drivers who injure others or cause fatal

crashes by the use of a cell phone would face a Class A misdemeanor, which could result in fines up to $2,500 and less than a year of jail time. Drivers involved in fatal accidents could be charged with a Class 4 felony, which carries fines up to $25,000 and up to three years of jail time.

“Distracted driving is always a threat to community safety,and the new law aims to make all drivers more cognizant while operating a

vehicle,” said Rompa.

Romeoville Police Cmdr.

Kenneth Kroll agrees reporting that each and every month the stretch of Weber Road from Normantown Road through the I-55 interchange, to Wyndham Parkway is the heaviest traffic crash area, and are namely a lowspeed rear-end collision.

“I know as a policeman that low speed rear-end traffic crashes are very, very, very often the result of

inattentiveness and/or distracted driving,” said Kroll.

For that very reason, Romeoville Police use a concentrated visible effort to have a police presence every day in that area to deter such actions.

Kroll said he recognizes the need for the cell phone ban or hands-free use only requirement, based on his experience both on the job and personally.

“Can you honestly say that you have never experienced the immediate internal jolt that people feel when they put their eyes back on the road and see the car in front of them has stopped,” said Kroll.“I know I have experienced that instant moment of terror when I have been reading a text or dialing my phone… then I see brake lights in front of me that I didn’t plan on.”

Kroll also recalls a prediction from a traffic court judge who said driving had become a secondary function when in the car.

“Drivers had become so involved in cell phones, GPS, stereo music, mp3 players, etc… that the act of actually piloting the car was secondary to the gadgets and devices available to the driver.

This was the reason he was seeing so many traffic crash citations on his court call. I agree with him,” said Kroll.

In addition, Illinois State Police officials issued new 2014 traffic laws that became effective at the

start of the new year.

Public Act 98-0511 changes the existing legal speed limit from 65 mph. to 70 mph. on all rural interstates. The Act also allows eight counties (Cook, DuPage, Kane,Will, McHenry, Lake, Madison and St. Clair) with heavily congested highways to opt out and maintain the current 55 mph. speed limit.

Speed laws also have been strengthened on all streets, highways, and roads throughout Illinois. Speeding 26 mph. more than the posted limit is now a Class B misdemeanor and speeding 35 mph. or more than the posted limit is a Class A misdemeanor.

Furthermore state Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, held a forum in December to address the changes in the disability-parking program.

“For many years, people have abused the disability parking program to take advantage of free parking designed to help those who truly need it,” McAsey said.“A new law takes effect in January to crack down on these drivers who take advantage of the disabled in Illinois.”

Senate Bill 1929 amends requirements for the issuance of parking decals for disabled persons, limiting free parking at meters and parking structures to permanently disabled persons at meters and other parking areas only.

VETERANS

Administration to help train veterans and military families for jobs in the transportation industry. The $176,427 grant is part of the Commercial Motor Vehicle Operator Safety Training (CMVOST) grant program.

Amy Murphy, director of Corporate and Community Services, said “Since we began the CDL training program in July, we have received an outstanding response.There are still openings available in the program and we want to assist as many military veterans and/or their spouses as we can.” Murphy continued, “Our instructors, who are also veterans, are very dedicated and strive to prepare our students with the necessary skills to become a successful driver in the industry.”

Full-time day classes begin every three weeks. Participants must meet the program entry requirements in order to be accepted into the program.

Westphal chooses, enrolls at, Northwestern

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

While his classmates at Bolingbrook High School were off school Jan. 7 because of the record frigid temperatures, Parrker Westphal was finishing moving his stuff into his dorm room at Northwestern University in Evanston.

See, not only did Westphal announce last week that he will attend Northwestern University to play college football, he will graduated high school early so he could enroll in college for the winter semester and thus will be eligible to participate in spring practice when the Wildcats resume practice in February.

“I decided that freshman and sophomore year of high school,” Westphal said of the early graduation. “It is an advantage because it allows me to compete in spring ball and get an advantage on incoming freshmen. I have the chance to compete for a starting job, now it is my job to get it done.”

Westphal follows the model of former Raider Antonio Morrison who enrolled early at Florida and saw productive minutes his freshman year, even becoming a starter at the end of the year.

NCAA compliance rules allow early enrollees to sign financial aid agreements and join the college program of their choice

provided they have completed the requirements necessary to graduate early from high school.

The 6-foot, 1-inch, 190 pound Westphal tallied 47 tackles, eight pass breakups and three interceptions during his senior season, leading a Raider defense that allowed less than 10 points per game and completed an undefeated regular season.

His numbers skewed a bit by his position and the fact that teams can try and avoid challenging the opponent’s top defensive back.

“We moved him to safety a little his senior year so he was more involved this year,” said Bolingbrook defensive backs coach Todd Howard. “When we played teams with a top receiver, we would put him out there on that guy, but when we felt one receiver wasn’t better than the other, we put him at safety so he was more of a factor. We had fun with him when we played (Hinsdale Central tight end and Michigan commit) Ian Bunting or when we played Joliet West, we just put him on them and he did a good job blanketing those guys. But, he has that opportunity to move between corner and safety because he is a good run stopper.That is a part of his game that is less noticed because he is not a hoorah guy when he makes the big plays.”

United Raider team hard to stop

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Prentiss Nixon was selected to the All-Tournament team at the McDipper Classic.

When the Bolingbrook boys basketball team is at its best, it is a tough team for opponents to deal with.

Focus on standout Prentiss Nixon? OK, the Raiders will beat you with their host of big men.

Stop the bigs? Nixon and the guards have the ability to score at will.

The problem for Bolingbrook isn’t the ability, it’s the consistency, as it has yet to play at its best every game.

It did show that brilliance in the third place game of the 41st annual McDipper Classic when Bolingbrook defeated SouthWest Suburban Blue rival Joliet Central 91-62. It was the second time the Raiders beat the Steelmen this season.

“That was our team,” Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said. “We just beat a really good team by 30. This is not a time to politic for a team, but I feel our team can beat anybody.”

Nixon knows it the secret to success for the Raiders he rest of this year is not hard to figure out.

“When we all come together and play as one, we can be really, really good,” Nixon said. “We can beat anybody on any day.

That is what will get us through this year, just playing together, playing with heart, playing with fire in our eyes.”

Nixon understands it is not every day a team of this talent is put together.

“It is rare that you get bigs and guards that are Division I and Division II and that is what makes us special” Nixon said.“If I am off, someone else is going to get the job done. If they are off, there is somebody else on.

We win almost every game on the boards because our bigs are so good, teams can’t stop them and that is a real good situation for us.”

Nixon led the team against Central with 19 points, while

Gage Davis added 10 points, Brodric Thomas nine and Devon Sams eight for Bolingbrook.

The Raider big men had their success, as Shakur Triplett tallied 15 points and seven rebounds, while Julian Torres added 12 points and eight rebounds and Kenny Williams scored 11 points and grabbed 10 boards.

Brost enjoys having all the weapons at his disposal as a coach.

“It is fun to coach because we have so many weapons. We have three bigs that can really go,” he said. “But sometime it is tough on some guys because they don’t get the minutes.

We go a solid nine deep and I am cognizant of the minutes I am trying to get them, but every game is different with foul trouble or flow of game and there are times that pretty good players don’t play a lot. To their credit, they all have good attitudes no matter if they are in or out. It makes it great to coach.”

Nixon and Davis were named to the McDipper all tournament team for their efforts.

“It is nice for them to be recognized for their efforts,” Brost said. “I had nothing to do with the selection of the team and didn’t know who it was until it was announced. They are both very good players and we have several good players that could have been picked.”

The Raiders have not played since the Dec. 30 game at the McDipper and won’t play again until they host Lincoln-Way East Jan. 10.

“We have two weeks of practice with only one game and that is huge for us because we have little things we need to clean up,” Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said. “We have to fine tune some things, our mistakes offensively and our breakdowns defensively. We have to keep guys in front of us and follow the (scouting report) when we know what is coming, we have to fix those things.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Lockport’s Zimmer on head coaching radar

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

As the Cincinnati Bengals make their run to the NFL playoffs, they are doing so with the No. 3 ranked overall defense in the league.

The man in charge of that defense is Lockport High School graduate Mike Zimmer.

Zimmer is in his 20th season as an NFL coach and in his sixth with the Bengals as defensive coordinator. This season, the Bengals defense allowed only 305.5 yards per game, behind only Seattle (273.6) and Carolina (301.2). They are fifth in passing yards allowed (209.0) and fifth in rushing yards (96.5).

The defense is anchored by Vontaze Burfict, who tallied an NFL-best 171 tackles this season.

Burfict was undrafted in 2012 out of attended Arizona State University after a sub-par on-field performance and poor pre-draft

workouts deteriorated his draft stock. “(Bengals head coach) Marvin Lewis took interest in him at his workout and gave him a chance and he has really been good,” Zimmer said. “He really has become a team leader for us. It really is a nice success story” With his success as a defensive coordinator, Zimmer’s name is on the tops of lists every season when head coaching jobs come open and this year is no different.

Zimmer is currently on the radar for the open jobs in Detroit and Minnesota.

“I don’t really think about it until I go into town and people say they hear I am going to be a head coach,” Zimmer said. “I just try and stay loyal to Marvin Lewis and to the coaches and the players that have worked hard and I will just let the chips fall where they may.”

Zimmer never set out to be a

Bengals’ Mike Zimmer.

coach, but he did hope to be in the NFL. “I wanted to be a player, but I got hurt in college and it was a coach then that told me he thought I would be a good coach,” he said.

After graduating from Lockport

in 1973, where he played football, baseball and wrestled. He then went to Illinois State University as a quarterback. He was then moved to linebacker in 1976 after a redshirt year.A neck injury prematurely ended his playing career that same year.

It is no surprise Zimmer flourished as a coach, following in his dad’s footsteps. Zimmer’s dad, Bill, coached Lockport for 34 years, posting a 164-143-5 record from 1960-1994.

After his playing days ended, he took his first coaching job was as a part-time defensive assistant at the University of Missouri from 1979–1980. He then coached at Weber State College from 1981-1988, serving as the inside linebackers coach from 1981– 84, the defensive backs coach from 1985–88 and the defensive coordinator from 1983–88.

From 1989-1993, Zimmer served as the defensive coordinator

and defensive backs coach for the Washington State Cougars In 1993.

In 1994, he joined the Dallas Cowboys as an assistant coach of the nickel defense under Barry Switzer and was promoted to defensive backs coach in 1995 and then was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2000.

Zimmer took the same position in Atlanta in 2007 and was named the defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2008.

Prior to this season, the Bengals hired Zimmer’s son Adam to serve as assistant defensive backs coach under former Chicago Bears Pro Bowl defensive back Mark Carrier.

Adam Zimmer was the assistant linebackers coach for the Saints from 2006-09 and won a Superbowl in 2009 before going to the Chiefs with the same position from 2010-12.

Mike Zimmer said the way he treats Adam is the way he was treated by his dad when he played for him at Lockport.

“Adam doesn’t call me dad on the field,” Mike Zimmer said.“The same way I didn’t call my dad dad on the field. He was always coach.

When we are working, I am his boss. Sometime I am harder on him because he is my son and I told him that I would be. My dad was harder on me and that was OK.” But, having Adam on staff is something Mike enjoys.

“It is great having him here,” Mike said. “He can come over for dinner on Friday nights and it is nice.”

The Bengals lost 27-10 in the opening round of the playoffs.

Zimmer is not the only local product in the NFL playoffs this season.

Joliet Catholic Academy graduate Coby Fleener had five catches for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Colts’ 4645 come-from-behind win over the Chiefs in the AFC wild card opener.

Rob Ninkovich, a Lincoln-Way Central graduate and former Joliet Junior College player is in his eighth season in the NFL and third with the New England Patriots.

The linebacker tallied 91 tackles, and eight sacks.

The Patriots had a bye in the opening round and will host Fleener and the Colts at 7 p.m.

Garrett, a middle linebacker, didn’t start the game and rotated series with Nyles Morgan of Crete-Monee.

“I felt the nerves a little bit when I was standing on the sidelines and coach told me I was going in,” Garrett said.

“It was like, I was on NBC, a national network. But once I got out there it went away and I had fun.”

He is no stranger to appearing on television after competing on The Opening, which took place over the summer on ESPN and featured 7-on-7 games.

However, this was a totally different experience.

“We had the pads on so this

WESTPHAL Continued from page 11 ever had defensively,” Howard said. “As a sophomore, he was under fire because teams went after the little guy. He had a coming out party in that game and produced the way he did.”

He went from that to a top DB recruit.

“He is that kind of corner that everyone is looking for,” Howard said. “He has the 6-1 frame and he has big hands and big feet, so he may get taller. He has the frame to where he can put on weight and still maintain his speed.The ceiling is so high and I think we will see him grow into more of a physical specimen than he already is and he will be able to contribute. With all these receivers getting bigger and stronger, colleges and the NFL are looking for these bigger corners who can move and I think he is that hybrid defensive back everyone is looking for.”

Howard, who was a defensive back at the University of Michigan, said Westphal has all the tools to compete early, but stresses the fact that it is not the end of the world if he is

was an actual football game,” Garrett stated. “Guys can do what they do. They can juke and you can crush someone.

This was real football, so it was better.”

As is customary with all-star games, Garrett split time with Morgan, but with the defense being so strong throughout the game (East had just 131 yards of offense), Garrett was on the field for just four series with them all lasting five plays or fewer. He finished with one solo tackle in the game.

“We split the series, so we had two series each between me and Nyles,” Garrett said. “Every time we went out there it was three-and-outs, so I wasn’t out on the field a lot, but when I was out there it was a good time. I’d rather be out there for three-and-outs and let the offense go out there and make plays.”

The publicity for Garrett has

helped put Plainfield on the football map, along with the recent success of Plainfield North graduate Kapri Bibbs.

“It was huge,” Garrett said. “I had all my teammates and my family and friends and everyone back home watching this game.

I tried my best to represent for Plainfield South and I think I did a good job. It was extremely exciting and a huge honor for me.”

While the game was just one day, it was a whole week of events for the players.

“The whole week was excellent. They set up everything,” Garrett said. “We were busy from the time we woke up to the time we went to sleep. We went out and enjoyed everything and enjoyed Texas.

The practices were fun.”

However, there was one trip that stood out.

“We went to a children’s hospital and that was something

redshirted.

“From a physically capable standpoint, he can compete,” Howard said. “Too many high school athletes get caught up in the term true freshman and they want to compete right away, and I know he wants to get out there and compete right away for Northwestern, but I tell all of them, there is nothing wrong with red shirting. You get the opportunity to learn the defense, lift the weights and get a year under your belt. With his strength and size and speed, he is physically capable but the biggest jump for an athlete is from high school to college. It is a tough transition.”

Westphal said he chose Northwestern over Vanderbilt for a few basic reasons.

“Academics and coaching stability both played a big part in this,” said Westphal, who said he will begin with an undeclared major, but is leaning toward Learning and Organizational Change. “Northwestern has great academics and the position coach (Jerry Brown) has been there for 22 years and is not going to leave.”

Location also played a big role in the decision.

“I wanted my family to be

able to come see my games in person,” Westphal said.

Northwestern is coached

by Pat Fitzgerald, a Sandburg High School graduate and someone who is familiar with Bolingbrook, playing against the Raiders during his prep career.

“It was a special moment for Parrker and I when he informed me over the phone of his decision to come to Northwestern,” Fitzgerald said in a release on the Wildcats’ web site. “Parrker is a tremendous young man from a great family and our football program has really enjoyed getting to know them over the last several years.

I can’t thank head coach John Ivlow and the Bolingbrook administration enough for their assistance throughout this process. Parrker is part of a recruiting class that we here in Evanston are extremely excited to introduce in a few months.”

Coach and player already shared an experience before practice even began.

“I was moving some stuff in my dorm and he helped me unpack some stuff,” Westphal said.“I’ve never heard of a coach doing that.That’s a coach I want to play for.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

THE BUGLE JANUARY 9, 2014 that was life-changing for me,” Garrett said. “Seeing those kids in a down moment and seeing their eyes light up when we walked in, and sign footballs for them, that was huge for me. I liked that a lot.”

In a week of highlights, it was the trip to the hospital and the game itself that was most memorable for Garrett.

“Besides the memorial hospital, it was this game,” Garrett said. “This was huge for me, I had a great time out here. It is 10 times better that we won.”

The bowl game was a great ending to a strong career for Garrett.

He was a two-time Voyager Media All-Area selection and was a big key to a pair of playoff runs for the Cougars in the past three seasons.

pretty good and coming out here was the icing on the cake,” Garrett said. “I got to come out here with the best guys in the country and we got the win.”

Now it is on to Louisiana State University for Garrett, where he verbally committed to and is expected to sign with in February.

“I’m going to go out there and with coach (John) Chavis at LSU, it’s going to be great,” Garrett said. “It’s exciting. I talk to him twice a week and I can’t wait to get that started.

Once I sign those papers and coach (Les) Miles sends me the training book and all that stuff, I’m going to hit that hard. I’ve already started training, but once I get the LSU stuff, I’m going to hit the ground running and give it 110 percent.”

Joliet Central beats West in league battle

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

If he hasn’t done it yet, Joliet Central boys basketball coach Jeff Corcoran may be taking to Craigslist very soon.

The ad will read, WANTED: A point guard to facilitate the Steelmen offense and let the Central scorers concentrate on scoring and not getting the ball up the floor.

“We are in desperate need of a point guard and we have them here. The guys that are here, we are going to grind with them,” Corcoran said. “When Jonah has to bring the ball up the floor, it takes away from what we are trying to do. He can’t come off screens, he can’t get any action.

He has to bring it up, enter it and then it takes two passes to get it back.”

Coble was able to get his shot when it mattered most, however, as he buried a pair of three pointers in the fourth quarter with the score tied 38-38, leading Central to the 60-51 win over its cross-town rivals.

“We talked before the game and it is a different atmosphere here in the sense that it is brighter in here and the backdrop is different behind the baskets,” Corcoran said.“I said to (assistant coach) Brian (Koehne) in the fourth quarter that we hadn’t hit a three pointer all game and at a dead ball or time out, we have to tell them to take the ball to the basket. Then Jonah hits two threes.”

Coble scored nine of his teamhigh 15 points in the fourth quarter.

As a team, Central didn’t shoot well.

Central finished 18-of-60 shooting and made only 22 of 45 free throws.

“They made their free throws and that kept them in the game.

If we make ours, we extend it,” Corcoran said. “They took that early lead in the first quarter and we had a six or eight point lead a few times and talked about

extending it, but we just let them back in.

Jarvis Northington tallied 14 points in his first start of the season, while Antonio Dyson had 12 points for the Steelmen (10-4, 2-1 SWSC).

Northington was inserted into the lineup based on a hunch Corcoran had that his 6-foot, 4-inch frame would be a mismatch with the smaller West team.

“We wanted to go a little bigger with their quickness and

hope we could get the boards and Jarvis did his job,” Corcoran said.

“I was really happy at times they went small because it’s true, we really only have two post players,” said West coach Nick DiForti. “But they gut it out and we know our abilities and we know what we are not.”

The Tigers (4-8, 0-4) dropped their seventh straight contest after opening the season 4-1.

“The past two games we came out with a sense of urgency,”

DiForti said. “We came out 4-1 and we realized teams are going to prepare for us and they know what we do and who to try and stop. We keep telling the kids we are right there and we keep telling the kids that it isn’t going to be the guy scoring 30 or the one great play, it is going to be the little things.”

West was coming off the Pontiac Holiday tournament where it dropped its first two games and were eliminated, while Central fell to Bolingbrook

for the second time this season in the third-place game at the McDipper Tournament at Rich South High School.

“We got what we wanted in the McDipper in the sense that we got to the winners bracket,” Corcoran said. “But then we had a letdown. We just told them we had to come out here and this is conference, it is more important.

Not to downgrade the Dipper, it would be great to win it, but we have to get this first.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Is anxiety friend or foe in the workplace?

Q. I’ve been doing psychotherapy over the last two years. Recently I’m noticing that I just don’t freak out when we get news that would normally scare me. Normally, I’d get scared and run around trying to fix things. Is my lack of anxiety going to hurt my career?

A. No, your lack of anxiety will actually help your career.

We now have decades of research on how anxiety affects the human brain. To summarize the effect, it makes us stupid. Literally, people can have trouble reaching the part of their brain where thinking occurs when they are flooded by anxiety.

The paradox about feelings is it isn’t the feelings that hurt us -- it is how we react to our feelings. For instance, if you hear you might be laid off,

notice your stomach hurts, notice that you feel afraid, and then talk about your fear, your brain will settle down and you’ll make smart choices. If you hear you might be laid off, and numb out or deny you are afraid, your brain becomes paralyzed and good decision making is impossible.

It is ironic that workplace mythology is that you shouldn’t have any emotions if you want to be productive on the job.

The reality is that if you think you shouldn’t have emotions, you deny or numb them, and these same emotions then drive every choice you make.

The only way to have freedom to make good choices is to acknowledge our normal emotional reactions. You are finding out that being aware of fear makes you calm. What an unexpected outcome, eh?

You aren’t going to lose your

WEB LINKS www.interpersonaledge.com “edge,” drive or motivation by not running around scared.

Instead, you’ll find you do less but that your actions will be strategic and targeted for the result you want.

Imagine you were trying to hit a bullseye painted somewhere on the side of a barn. Imagine that the barn was on fire and the only way to put the fire out was to hit the bullseye. You could panic and run around throwing arrows at the barn. However, if you could settle down and examine the barn, you could aim one arrow, hit the bullseye, and extinguish the fire.

Realize that by learning to make your fear an ally and not an enemy, you’ve dramatically increased your chances of

dave says

Teaching humility, gratitude Dear Dave, Do you have any advice for teaching responsibility and generosity to adult children and grandkids when it comes to money?

Justin Dear Justin, I think there are three key factors when it comes to teaching children of any ageabouttheseconcepts— humility, gratitude and contentment. In my mind, humility is where gratitude comes from, and gratitude leads to contentment.

I’m generous to my adult children, but they have no sense of entitlement.That’s due to their personal humility.They don’t feel that I owe them anything, and they already know that anyone who cops an entitlement attitude gets cut off. You’re no longer qualified for my generosity when you lose your gratitude.

You’ve got to spend time talking to kids about these things.

Otherwise,you run the risk of them counting on the income. Here’s an

example. We coach some family businesses at my company, and the best family businesses are the ones that teach non-employee family members who receive money from the business— dividends from the profits—never to live on those dividends. I’ve seen lots of cases where someone will start living on the business they don’t work in, and they immediately start feeling entitled to the money.

The same principle applies in your situation.

If someone starts saying, “Well, since mom and dad are paying for our daycare, we can use that money we would have spent to buy a car.” That means they’ve started counting on mom and dad’s generosity to live, and that’s a form of entitlement mentality.

None of our kids receive any kind of financial help from us at all, unless they’re already carrying their weight in their own lives.

That’s not being cold. It’s teaching

responsibility and self-reliance.

Now it would be different if one of them developed a serious medical issue or something like that. But the whole idea that mommy and daddy have lots of money, and I can just get some from them? That doesn’t fly in our family.

You have to teach them character and giving in order for them to be valid recipients. Plus, it’s all about the kids’ attitude. But you’ve got to talk about it often and communicate the value system out loud. The gifting and generosity are contingent upon the humility that leads to gratitude that leads to contentment.

The following tips can help parents provide a safer Internet environment: Infants and Toddlers

Multitasking Parents should repeatedly stress to their teenage children the dangers of texting, talking on their cell phone, or using earbuds or earphones while driving. These activities can be dangerous and often lead to deadly results, in addition to being illegal in many states.

Children under two years old have rapidly developing brains and parents should avoid passive screen time. Instead, focus should be on unstructured play and personal interaction to promote creativity and develop motor skills and problem solving.

Judgment Encourage your children to use good judgment and care, not just to protect themselves, but also to be aware of how their online activities can affect others.

Remind them not to bully, gossip, or spread rumors about others.

Limit Screen Time The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends total screen time be restricted to no more that two hours per day. This includes computer, TV, video games, cell phone use and texting. Consider a “Media Curfew” with all devices being put away or recharged during mealtime and at bedtime. Internet and social media addiction is a real and growing problem among adolescents and preteens. Parents should watch for warning signs: dropping grades, weight loss or gain, behavior issues, or skipping activities, meals or school work for screen time.

Cell Phones

Become Net Savvy Take the time to learn about the technologies and the different online forums: Facebook, twitter, instant messaging, e-mail, blogs, etc. Create a profile for yourself.

Many parents struggle with the decision of when their child is ready for a cell phone. For most families, a major factor is the ability for parents and children to easily communicate regarding schedule changes or making sure parents know where their children are and visa versa. Many parents also feel more secure with the knowledge that their kids can quickly and easily call for help should there ever be any sort of emergency situation. However, the ability to access the Internet, make calls and text can result in major distractions that may affect school work, sleep patterns, and lead to other dangerous behaviors.

Call (847) 676-5394.

Monitor the computer Keep the computer in an open access part of your home like the kitchen or family room.

Screens should be kept out of kids’ bedrooms, with no exceptions.

This can help you monitor not just the content of their Internet usage, but also the amount of time they spend online.

Explain to your children, and remind them frequently, that anything sent online can be shared with the whole world. They must really think twice before pressing the send button. Make sure you review their privacy settings on social media.
