Yolanda Jordan takes the helm at BHS Jordan was installed as interim principal following resignation of Michael White

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Stability and consistency are a key priority for Yolanda Jordan, who has officially been named principal of Bolingbrook High School.

Jordan was installed as interim principal during an uproar at the resignation of Michael White, who left citing a difference of opinion with district leadership in February.

But that’s in the past, and while Jordan will not comment on the climate of the school at a time when she wasn’t present, she acknowledges the issue it created, a school that has seen three principals in four years.

“Parents and students have been faced with a lot of change and a lack of consistency,” said Jordan.“With consistency builds trust. I want us to move forward toward a common goal. I have been asked how long I am going to be here…I am not going anywhere anytime soon.”

A Bolingbrook resident and a mom to a student within Valley View, she says she has a vested interest in making this work.

“I began my career with Valley View. I work and live in this community,” said Jordan. “What I do at this school will affect my neighbors, my daughter, my friends, my church. It matters to me. Bolingbrook High School is our school. It also puts me in a vulnerable spot and comes with

Stability and consistency are a key priority for Yolanda Jordan, who has officially been named principal of Bolingbrook High School.

“Parents and students have been faced with a lot of change and a lack of consistency. With consistency builds trust. I want us to move forward toward a common goal. I have been asked how long I am going to be here…I am not going anywhere anytime soon.” a lot of responsibility. I am in a very unique situation, and I take it seriously.”

She said she will maintain an open-door policy and encourages parent involvement and community involvement, inviting any tax-paying citizen to enter their doors.

“We must collaborate to be successful. I don’t want parents to just send their kids to school.

Be involved. Help us make Bolingbrook High School the school of choice,” said Jordan.

She asks the students to be respectful of the school and

to be part of the solution, and describes BHS as a place of “great students and great intelligence.”

“I’ve seen firsthand how talented and how diverse our students are, be it academics, arts or athletics,” said Jordan.

“This is a great place to be.”

Her goal is to maintain the rigor put forth by the district and put in place a team that is intent on curriculum and instruction.

She will follow the protocol of the district and further put in place the rules of the handbook, some that may have been put by the wayside in recent years, including bringing back detention.

School spirit is also critical, and she plans to try to rebuild more student-centered events.

Jordan, who was Assistant Principal at Romeoville High School for nearly four years before becoming BHS Interim Principal, came to Valley View as BHS Dean in 2006. She helped found and sponsor a wide variety of student organizations at both RHS and BHS including RIGHT (Really Intelligent Girls Hanging Together), Mr. RIGHT, Guide Right, and Multicultural Club.

She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in biology and a Master’s in educational leadership and administration from Chicago State University and is working toward her Doctorate in administrative leadershipteaching and learning from Walden University.

Jordan has experience as a science teacher at HomewoodFlossmoor High School, Lincoln Park High School and The Harvard School in Chicago, and coordinated the science outreach programs at Chicago State for more than six years.

Despite inconsistent weather conditions, Philippine Festival draws thousands

By Laura Katauskas staff reporter

katauskas@buglenewspapers.com @lkatauskas

Despite a storm threatening throughout the day, more than 4,500 people attended the first Piyesta Pinoy, a Philippine Festival, on the Bolingbrook Village Grounds.

“It was a huge success,” said Ruben Salazar, cultural director and festival chair of the Philippine American Cultural Foundation. “Thanks to all the sponsors, donors, partners, vendors, cultural and workshop participants, performers, volunteers, Chicago Filipino Riders for helping us with security, all of our committee members who worked tirelessly until the end, and the thousands of guests who made it all happen.

“Special thanks to Mayor Roger Claar, Dale McClannahan, Event Production and the staff of the Bolingbrook Public Works and the Bolingbrook Police Department for giving us the opportunity to celebrate our Independence Day and sharing our culture and festival at the beautiful performing arts and town center. Everyone had a lot of fun, and we hope we can do this again next year.”

Mayor Roger Claar came out to support the event held on the Bolingbrook Village Grounds.

It was one of the largest festivals of Philippine culture, formerly held at Navy Pier, highlighting the community’s dedication to the heritage.

The rain only lasted 30 minutes, and the fun and music

by No Limits Band and the Samasama Project continued on despite it.

After the rain, the stage reopened and the fun and music continued outdoors with performance by GMA superstar Dingdong Dante. The music did not stop until 11 p.m. with the Above & Beyond 4 band rocking the house for the closing.

More than five dozen Valley View School District 365U high school students spent time in the classroom this month learning how to best prepare for life after high school.

The two-week College and Career Readiness Workshop, co-sponsored by VVSD and the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), featured everything from tips on how to assimilate into high school life for incoming freshmen to information on financial aid and scholarships and writing essays and completing college applications for incoming seniors.

Classes were divided by grade level with activities ranging from large group icebreakers’ to one-on-one and small group encounters, all lead

by ISAC representatives.

“You need to get involved in extra-curricular activities,” ISAC’s Zoe Kudla told freshmen and sophomores in a session Thursday. “You will develop skills that will enable you to be successful in later years.”

Kudla indicated studies have shown being involved at school leads to better grades, higher standardized tests scores, and higher self esteem. Involved students, she added, have better time management skills, and are better communicators and leaders.

“You are more likely to be hired if you have these skills,” she said. “If you know your

future career path, develop skills specific to your career path. If you don’t know what you want to do right now, that’s OK.” Throughout the two weeks, the freshman-sophomore track students also received basic information on the types of colleges, degrees offered, campus life and admissions standards. They also learned about goal setting and how to create a career profile.

Juniors received more specific information about financial aid and scholarships, college admissions criteria and campus life. They created an ACT study plan and learned how to create a professional resume.

Seniors obtained very detailed information on how to search for financial aid and scholarships; examined timelines for,and learned how to complete, college applications, wrote personal statements and created a personalized collegegoing calendar.

ISAC was created in 1957 by Illinois lawmakers to ensure that financial considerations did not prevent Illinois students from realizing their postsecondary educational goals. ISAC acts as a centralized source of information and guidance with a high priority placed on making postsecondary education accessible and affordable for the students and families of Illinois.

Remember safety when grilling in summer

Now that the summer season seems to be here, many of us will be cooking lunches and dinners using our BBQ grills. As with any devices using fire, there is a certain degree of risk involved with their use. However, by simply following some Basic safety precautions, we can enjoy delicious meals cooked outside and keep the risk of any accidents very low.

Whether you are using a propane tank or a natural gas line for your grill, check all of the connections for leaks before Use. You can discover any leaks by applying soapy water to the connections. If there is a leak, bubbles will appear. Tighten any loose joints, but do not overtighten them.

Also check for rusted burners and remove the rust. Clean all

the venturi tubes of the burners to prevent blockages of the gas.

Both natural gas and propane vapor produce a pungent odor.

If you notice this odor, shut the grill off and keep any open flames away from the area. Get the grill repaired and checked before using again.

For charcoal grills, only use the minimum amount of starter fluid to get the briquettes burning.

Never spray starter fluid on to a hot grill from the can. Keep all grills in use At least 10 inches away from your house, and make sure that any flames produced do not impinge on awnings or overhangs.

Use all grills in a well-ventilated area, and never in a garage. All grills produce carbon monoxide, which is poisonous.

When lighting grills, use longhandled matches or mechanical lighters. Always keep children away from grills in use. Keep a bucket of water, a garden hose or a fire extinguisher handy when using any grill. If a fire gets out of hand, call the fire department immediately if you have any doubt as to whether or not the fire is completely out.

Never attempt to move a hot grill.

Many house fires are started every year through the improper use of BBQ grills. By following the above steps and precautions, you will be able to enjoy grilled food and still be safe and keep others around you safe, too.

Judge politicians by their productivity by vote Both the Illinois House and Senate adjourned after another session without effectively resolving any of the serious financial and/or social problems that affect our state.

In the private sector, if an employee fails to do their job, especially after being continually told what their responsibility was, they would be fired. Our legislators are elected employees, elected to do the people’s work. Instead, they continue to kick the can down the road, allowing our state debt to be downgraded, jobs and businesses to leave

the state, and drive us toward possible bankruptcy. When the Governor calls them back into session, they do little but go to court to get extra pay.

Solution: Replace them at the ballot box. Ask your local newspaper to publish a simple to read chart on how each legislator voted on bills: yes, no, or no vote. The ones that vote against real pension reform, term limits, reducing the taxes as promised, balance budgets and spending, tort reform, effective gun control, and instead vote for pork, increased borrowing and salaries need to

be voted out. Those that don’t vote also need to go.

Additionally, many of our problems are business problems, so we need to elect former business owners and managers, former military officers, accountants, doctors, lawyers, not politicians who don’t have the experience or desire to handle these problems.

I’m voting in the future for qualified business people, not do-nothing politicians. How about you?

New degree won’t change what Addams Principal Pascavage stands for Pascavage’s philosophy has endeared the young Principal to his students, staff and parents Jason Pascavage loves what he’s doing.

And even though he now has his Doctorate (yes, you can call him DOCTOR Jason Pascavage these days), the Jane Addams Middle School Principal doesn’t see things changing a whole lot.

“I think being a principal in a school is the most noble position you can have when it comes to having an immediate impact on kids,” said Pascavage, who, when asked where he sees himself 10 years from now, responded “Here. Principal at Jane Addams.

I love it. I believe you get in a position and stay in it.”

The Montana native came to Valley View School District 365U in 2006 as an Assistant Principal at Brooks Middle School after spending four years as a middle school math teacher and high school basketball coach in Phoenix and a year as a 6th grade math and science teacher and assistant principal at Columbus Manor Elementary School in Oak Lawn. He became Addams Principal a year ago.

“I knew in high school I wanted to be a teacher and a coach,” he said, proudly pointing out he became the first person on his mother’s side of the family to obtain a college degree when he graduated with a Bachelor’s

“When I got the Doctorate, my mom was the first person who called to congratulate me,” Pascavage said, adding he has given his mom copies of all of his degrees, including his two Masters Degrees in math and administration from Arizona State University.

But his mom wasn’t the only person to congratulate him after defending his dissertation which involved over three years of research on the Odyssey enhancement program at Brooks.

Addams staff members put congratulatory notes on Mylar balloons and filled Pascavage’s office with them on the day he formally became a “doctor.”

“Even the kids here have a different perspective on things now that I have the doctorate,” he said. “It was a lot of work but now that it’s done, this is an accomplishment my kids and

Lotarski named to All-Area team

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

A year ago, Downers Grove North’s Dale Ryndak suffered serious injuries and missed much of the season.

Many were unsure of what to expect from Ryndak this year, including Ryndak herself.

All she did was go 22-2 on the mound with a .52 ERA and 219 strikeouts.At the plate she batted .446 with 15 doubles, 10 homers and 41 RBI. For all her accomplishments, Ryndak joins her sister Kendall as the Voyager Media Softball Player of the Year. Kendall accomplished the feat in 2011.

“Just one award is amazing,” Dale said. “Any award in general is an honor. I’m so thankful to be nominated for any award and winning them is just the cherry on top.”

“Dale is probably the best all-around player in the state,” Downers North coach Eric Landschoot said. “Both her pitching and offensive statistics are staggering. As a team captain,

she has leads by example off the field. She often times dominates competitive teams both on the mound and at the plate.”

Ryndak had many accomplishments this season, including being named the Gatorade Player of the Year.

And to think, none of it nearly happened.

“This time last year I didn’t think I was going to be able to throw as hard or run as fast or be as good as I am now,” Ryndak said. “I thought it was over for a while. My dad told me it can be a pity party or go out and try to do it again. I started throwing with my Godfather, uncle Mike (Johnson) who is one of our coaches. He really helped me get through this. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be doing all this. He really pushed me.”

Ryndak suffered a torn medial meniscus, fractured femur and torn ACL last year, but was able to battle back to have the most impressive performance in the area and perhaps state.

“They said it would take about a year to get back,” Ryndak said. >> see all-area | page 13

THE BUGLE JUNE 26, 2014

Sports >> all-area, from page 11 “That was really hard to take. I couldn’t blame it on anybody. It was a noncontact injury. I don’t think I would be the player I am without the injury. I’m so grateful now to be playing this sport.”

In the end, Ryndak was awarded for her hard work with her impressive totals on the field.

“I never thought I would have had those kinds of stats,” Ryndak said.“I think with all the work I put in in the offseason, it shows.”

Now Ryndak will look to dominate her opponents at the highest level of softball, in perhaps the toughest conference, the PAC 12 as she will be attending Arizona State University.

“When I signed my NLI, I couldn’t believe I had those colors on,” Ryndak stated. “Every girl wants to play softball at a PAC 12 school. It is insane. I went down there for my official visit and I knew it was going to be my home.”

The rest of the members of the Voyager Media All-Area team are:

STEPHANIE ABELLO The senior catcher from Benet batted .481 with nine doubles, 22 homers and 63 RBI. She is signed

with the University of Illinois.

“She is the most feared hitter in the area,” Benet coach Jerry Schilf said. “Batavia intentionally walked her with the bases loaded.”

JENNIFER AMES Joliet West junior second baseman hit .364 with 29 RBI, 38 runs, 18 stolen bases, five home runs and 12 doubles from the lead-off spot.

“She sets the tone for our offense every game,” said Joliet West coach Heather Suca.“She has led off two games with a home run.

In addition to her power she is fast and aggressive on the bases.

I have never seen a player able to manufacture as many runs as she does off of pure base running. She knows how to take advantage of any little mistake a defense makes.”

JESSICA ANDREE Downers Grove South’s three-year allconference selection, batted .423 with 14 doubles, seven homers, 38 RBI and scored 42 runs.

“She is an outstanding leader and competitor,” Downers South coach Ron Havelka said.“She will attend Belmont University on an athletic scholarship.”

MARIA CONNELL A freshman catcher from Plainfield Central, Connell batted .374 with 14 doubles, five homers and 32 RBI.

THE BUGLE JUNE 26, 2014 “ M a r i a rarely hits singles, she hits the ball hard for d o u b l e s ,” Plainfield C e n t r a l coach Anne Campbell said.

“Behind the plate, she has done

an outstanding job, keeping our pitchers on target. She rarely has a passed ball. She plays the game very naturally.”

review

Treetops resort

Man vs. Golf Challenge is 63 holes in a day When I got an email about a “Man vs. Golf” challenge, I was intrigued to say the least. While I have caddied 36 holes in a day before, I had never played more than 18.

This “Man vs.

Golf” challenge was 63 holes. taylor’s take Yet, when I by scott taylor saw the courses you would play in the 63 holes, I thought a six-hour trip to Michigan would be well worth a review. And, it was well worth the trip. So, Mark Gregory and I challenged ourselves to play the 63 holes at Treetops Resort in Gaylord, MI. The cost to play the challenge starts at $149, which is an absolute steal, since one of the courses itself can cost over $100 and the other courses range from $40-100. That doesn’t even include the cart. So, you can imagine what kind of deal this is to push yourself to the brink.You can also add a hotel package for $89 a night.

When we arrived the night before, we decided to check out the clubhouse, which is home to all four courses we were playing. There is a fifth course, the Masterpiece, which is located a few miles away by the hotels.

It is not part of the 63 holes.

The other 18-hole courses, the Premier, Signature and Tradition, are all rated 4.5 stars by Golf Digest. Then there is the par-3 course, the Threetops, which was home to the ESPN Par-3 Shootout and is ranked as the top par-3 course in the country by multiple publications.

Going to the clubhouse was a good idea as we were able to figure out a plan for the following day, which started at 6:50 a.m. on the Premier course.The two staff members were both friendly (as they all were throughout the trip) and they showed us the plaque our names would go on if we accomplished the feat. We were also told that only four people have accomplished the feat prior to us.

The next morning we got there early to get a head start on the day and it was a good thing we did, as the only negative of the day happened right away. There was an outing on the course we were playing first, so we had to be off the course by 9 a.m. That gave us two hours, 10 minutes to play 18 holes! After playing much of the front nine individually, we played the rest of the holes as alternate shot, not teeing off on a few holes so we could play all the holes, which we did. I’m glad we did because that was my favorite

quick tip: Try to take as little break as possible in between rounds.

course.

After completing the Premier, we were able to get out early for the Tradition course, giving us more time for our next tee time.

The starter was kind and had us go off on the back nine so there would be nobody in front of us.

This worked out perfectly as we cruised through the back nine in 1:40. After a few holes on the front nine, the foursome in front of us let us pass them and we went the final six holes with no one else in our way, so we got done early again.

The next was the beautiful par-3 course that offered a 140foot drop on one hole and an 80-foot drop on another, which was the hole Lee Trevino aced

in competition. Once again, a foursome let us pass them after the second hole and we cruised through the course in less than 1:30.

We were able to start our final 18 holes on the Signature course at 3:20. After cruising through the first few holes, we ran into an outing for the rest of the course, but we still made pretty good time. It was amazing how much we were able to play with no one in front of us the whole day.

Our final putts dropped around 7:10 p.m., which concluded around a 12.5 hour day on the golf course.And, we had a couple of hours of light still left as Gaylord is on the far western end of the Eastern time zone. At the

time, I could have played another nine holes with the adrenaline I had. However, the next couple of days, I was quite tired and a little bit sore.

Despite the soreness, it was well worth it. It is one of those experiences as a golf fan you need to do once in your life. Heck, I would go back and do it again if I had the chance. It was that much fun. For a six-hour drive, I would recommend not only playing the 63-hole challenge, I would encourage playing the other course the previous day. I wouldn’t play it the following day as you will likely be pretty sore.

•Next week I will go into further detail about each of the four courses.

New rules in place for summer football

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

If you head out to watch your favorite local prep football team this summer, you may see something different in most schools – a lack of football equipment.

The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Board of Directors announced the results of a special legislative session vote by the IHSA membership on a by-law modifying allowable summer football activities at their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, April 22, 2014.

The revised version of By-law 3.157, which eliminates full pad football activities in the summer and defines allowable practice activities, passed by a vote of 170-87.

The vote allows football team during the summer contact period, to attend a summer football camp that involves coaches and/or players from another high school under the following conditions: a. Practice limit maximums of equipment and hours per day along with hours per week follow the same limitations as

identified above. b. The maximum number of football camp days with other teams is limited to four (4) days during the summer. c. The maximum number of players from one school in drill work versus another school is five (5) players. Note: 7 on 7 non-padded passing games are allowed during the summer.

“The vote reflects much of what we have heard from coaches on this issue,” said IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman.“We had some individuals who opposed eliminating full contact from summer football activities, but the majority of the people we talked to said this change would not affect them. Given that about half of our football playing schools voted, we believe that many abstained knowing their summer practice plans would not be altered regardless of the result of the voting.”

The rules allow high school teams to wear full pads for the school’s summer football camp. Before wearing full pads, student-athletes must build up to full pads. During the first two days of camp athlete are allowed to wear helmets only. During days three and four helmets and shoulder pads are allowed and

on day five full pads are allowed.

A stated in the previous rules, 7 on 7 pass skeleton (touch only) games are allowed against other schools in the summer, and helmets, mouth pieces, and appropriate footwear may be worn during these 7 on 7 contests.

“We believe this revision minimizes risk to football student-athletes, while allowing for the teaching of appropriate fundamentals,” said Hickman.

“This is another important step in making high school football as safe as possible, while putting all of our schools on an even playing field regarding football activities during the summer.”

Several local teams see no impact from this new rule.

“It will not affect us,” said Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow.

“It is fine with me.”

“The no pad ruling really doesn’t affect us, we never wear lowers in the summer,” said Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna.

“We have always gone with Pro Pads during summer camp and go quick whistle “thud’ during contact drills.”

Some coaches, however, do wish the rule was not as strict.

Joliet Central coach Brett Boyter would like more time in

full pads to teach technique.

“The ruling doesn’t affect what we do at Joliet Central much since our goal is to teach fundamentals and install our systems, but I did believe that allowing some full contact practices was necessary.

My coaching staff and I take very seriously the safety of our players, but one of the things that attracts people to play this game is the physical nature of the game. In the past, whether during the season or during the summer we always had one full contact practice per week,” he said. “Our players really enjoyed the drills.The intensity and focus of our practices were greater on those days because the player felt like they really got to play football.Also, I think learning as a defensive player how to properly complete a tackle by taking the ball carrier to the ground is as important to practice as the other defensive techniques you may practice. This cannot be done during the summer while you can take more time to properly practice and teach.

I also believe it is important for ball carriers to learn how to take on tackles as well.”

With fewer players coming to Central with the youth football experience as the Valley View

schools have, Boyter said that practice is needed to help the players retain the skills come game day.

“These techniques can be taught and players can go through the motions, but I don’t believe they can be properly practiced,” he said. “High School players need a lot of repetitions to learn to play the game properly. Many of our players have never played before and need to practice the proper techniques over the summer in order to protect themselves and their opponents. I know we follow the lead of the NFL and college football in many cases, and there is a trend to eliminate as much unnecessary contact as possible, but our players are not at the same developmental level as those players. Again, I am not against the measure, nor do I believe that more than one full padded practice a week is necessary, but I do believe that there are certain fundamental elements of the game coaches will not be able to teach our players when these practices are eliminated. The more practice all players have with the true physical nature of the game, the better and safer the high school game will be.”

“Kelsey’s ability to come up with big hits on offense and big plays on defense kept us in several games,” Landschoot said.

“Kelsey’s calm demeanor and humble attitude (team captain) have allowed her to lead by example. Kelsey’s offensive statistics are great for someone who has been our leadoff hitter

for the majority of the season.”

JORDAN HARBACEK The junior pitcher had a 2.76 ERA and 171 strikeouts on the season.

She batted .405 with eight doubles and 17 RBI. “She helped us get to the regional championship game,” Plainfield South coach Leah Carter said. “We won our last nine games that she pitched.

Prete ended up short of that goal, but not by much; she finished with a school-record 43, and likely would have piled up more if not for a week of games that were rained out.

Food safety will make it a fun, full summer CDC estimates each year 48 million people become ill from foodborne diseases Summer is a great time for outdoor parties. But if you’re not careful, you could send your guests – and yourself – home with intestinal distress … or worse.

Food-borne illnesses are a threat all yearround, but the heat of the summer can increase the risks if food isn’t prepared and/or put out property.

As an example, thousands of people fire up their grills, stoke up the coals and break out the steaks for the start of barbecuing season.

“Although most of the time you’ll be thinking about the delicious food that’s

The 19,275-square-foot facility will house 16 firing lanes and operate from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday and 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday.

A plan commission report indicates that Woodridge Community Development Director Michael Mays questioned the decibel level at the property, and some Woodridge residents expressed concern over whether the facility would be an open-air range or an enclosed facility.

Representatives for the Range at 355 -- Chris Hart of Action Target, Provo, Utah -- reported “there will be no open air range, direct round

“Don’t let foodborne pathogens ruin your cookout,” she said. “You can avoid those uninvited guests by safely packing, preparing, and storing your picnic foods.”

If your church, business, club, or community organization sponsors a fundraiser where food is served – whether it is popcorn or a pig roast -- the Will County Health Department’s Division of Environmental Health is a great educational source to ensure food safety.

and clean, modernized restrooms.”

Action Target is considered a global leader in range development for military, law enforcement, and commercial ranges.

The facility owners will have to comply with all federal regulations and village codes. In addition, the police department will ask for annual reports of compliance with all regulatory requirements.

It is expected the group will follow the village’s Crime Prevention Officer’s requests and code requirements that include a sophisticated alarm system, exterior lighting and landscape material, as well video surveillance.

The range would be designed with Action Target’s “Total Containment Traps and Ballistic

Ceiling Baffle System,” which will be housed within a concrete precast building with additional sound deadening equipment.

Employees will be required to be current or retired law enforcement or ex-military individuals who must pass a thorough background check, drug test, and complete the National Rifle Association’s certificate process.
