SCHOOL BRIEFS >> BENET ACADEMY

Benet Academy alumnus named Best Actor Teen named Best Actor by Illinois High School Musical Theatre Awards BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Bolingbrook resident and Benet Academy graduate Justin Smusz never thought he would be granted a trip to the National High School Musical Theatre Awards. “One of the girls from Benet went last year,” he said. “It was cool to know she did that and to see that talent comes through the program. I’m going to be making my ‘Broadway debut.’ To experience that was so much fun.” Smusz recently won Best Actor at the Illinois High School Musical

Theatre Awards and subsequently earned a weeklong trip to New York City from June 19 to June 26 to receive coaching from Broadway performers in order to compete in the 2017 National High School Musical Theatre Awards. The National High School Musical Theatre Awards, also known as The Jimmy Awards, are named for legendary Broadway theater owner and producer James M. Nederlander. “Obviously, it’s a huge honor,” Smusz said. “[Acting,] it’s something I want to do as a career later in life.” Smusz gained the recognition

of the Illinois High School Music Theatre Awards for his portrayal of Chad in Benet Academy’s production of “All Shook Up.” There, he portrayed a womanizer with a love for music. The storyline followed Chad as he questions his sexuality and tries to get someone who he first thought was girl but actually is a

boy to open up. “Our directors made sure it wasn’t just a juke box musical,” Smusz said. “It has to do with love whether it’s a man or girl. Real love itself comes through.” The similarities between he and his character, Chad, are undeniable, Smusz said. “For someone openly gay, I went through that,” he said. “I channeled it. It was interesting. It’s not something I think about everyday. It was like a rediscovery for myself.” Smusz has a history of acting experience through performing in shows in community theatre, at high school and at North Central College. “I have had many great teachers from a young age all through the

high school years,” he said. “Lauren Condon and Brian Wand, they won Best Directors at the Jimmy’s. They supported me [at Benet Academy]. I know in the future, they’ll be there for me. My parents, I can’t forget my parents. Smusz offered some words of advice to fellow thespians interested in pursuing a life in theatre. “I’ve hear a lot of my friends in the business say rejection is a huge part of the job,” he said. “Majority of it will be a ‘no.’ They’re looking for something. It doesn’t mean you’re not talented. Sometimes people take themselves too seriously.” Smusz plans to take his acting chops to Indiana University where he will study musical theatre this fall.

Your Garage is a Window into Your Home

Use containers to maximize space and accessibility

When your garage door is open, neighbors as well as total strangers catch a glimpse of your home. An organized garage will form a favorable impression on those who see it, and will also allow you to maximize its usefulness. Here are some tips that will allow you to take advantage of a nice summer day and get your garage in order: DETERMINE WHAT YOU WANT TO STORE IN THE GARAGE List broad categories, like garbage and recycling supplies, sporting equipment, gardening equipment, camping gear, beach supplies, car supplies, and tools. If your garage is really loaded with stuff, your goal may include being able to park the car in it! PULL EVERYTHING OUT As scary and overwhelming as this may seem, it’s the best way to sort your belongings. If you can’t tackle the entire garage in one day, focus on a specific area to clean and organize. As you move things from the garage to your lawn or driveway, sort them into the categories identified in the first step.

SORT THROUGH THE ITEMS YOU’VE PULLED OUT Go through one category at a time, and carefully consider whether each item is worth keeping. For each item you want to dispose of, determine whether you will donate it, sell it at a garage sale, consign it to a resale shop, give it to someone else, or toss it. Use a separate box or bag to collect items for each disposal option. Be sure to check with your sanitary district to determine the proper way to dispose of hazardous waste (old paint, motor oil, etc.). DETERMINE WHERE TO STORE EACH CATEGORY It’s best to store things near their point of use or where they’re retrieved easily, and to store all of the items from each category in the same area – this will make it easier to find things, and will also make it easier for all family members to put things back where they belong. MAXIMIZE VERTICAL STORAGE SPACE Your garage walls offer many storage options. You can use pegboards to store tools, as well as yard and gardening equipment. You can install shelves to hold boxes and other containers, and hooks to hold bikes and other

COME TO ORDER By Sue Becker sporting equipment. USE CONTAINERS TO MAXIMIZE SPACE AND ACCESSIBILITY Containers make it easy to retrieve items, and also make it easy to put things away. Use a garbage can or old golf bag to store tall things like rakes, shovels, baseball bats, and hockey sticks. Laundry baskets are a nice storage option for bike helmets, in-line skates and gear. USE LABELS TO IDENTIFY WHERE THINGS BELONG Label containers, cabinets, and shelves with exactly what belongs there to make it easy for you and your family to put things back where they belong.

GOLF COURSE FEATURE

HIDDEN

GEM

Woodruff is a different play than the other Joliet courses BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

What does a golfer do when they walk up to a tee box with a 350-yard par-4 with an open shot straight down the middle of the fairway staring them in the face? I guess the answer to that question depends – do you trust your driver? If you are a big hitter and can all-but guarantee your driver to go right where you want it, then Joliet’s Woodruff Golf Course will be a cake walk for you. For most, however, that is not the case and the course has many hidden hazards in its short, straight layout. Woodruff is a course that has no par-5s and features eight holes that play 352 yards or less, many of them relatively straight from tee to green. That is where the mind games come in. Most recreational players have had those drives over the course of their game where everything goes perfect and you felt like Bubba Watson as you watched the ball soar blissfully into a clear blue sky and land more than 300 yards from the point you hit it never wavering from the perfect line it started on. Well as you stand at a tee box like No. 3 at Woodruff, a 306yard par-4 that has a beautiful tree-lined tunnel staring you in the face – everything in your

head says play a fairway wood or a long iron, get the ball down to an easy pitch onto the green and leave yourself a makeable birdie putt. Your heart however remembers that perfect drive and you know that if you can just recreate it here, on this one hole, you can easily drive the green and be the topic of barstool stories for years. So, putting everything smart to the side, you grab the driver, swing out of your mind to make sure you get the right carry – and pull it 30-yards off the fairway into the trees that looked so pretty forming a receiving line for the drive you hoped you had and now laugh at you as they swallow your ball into an abyss of timber. Yes, folks, welcome to Woodruff. Of the three Joliet courses, Woodruff is the one that sits more outside the city at 621 Gougar Rd. and is maybe the more forgotten courses of the trio – but that should not be the case. Woodruff is as fun and challenging as any of the Joliet courses and offers golfers scenery and elevation changes not found on the other two. This course plays 5,670 yards from the back tees, plays at a par-68 and is a true test of accuracy. While several holes on the front will test your discipline in club selection, the final 12 holes all bring water into the mix off the tee shots and on approach

If you stay straight on these, the day will start well. If not, you will feel more like Paul Bunyan than Rickie Fowler. The 202-yard par-3 fourth is no break from the mental grind. Number 6 is a 259-yard par

4 and the easiest hole on the course if you play it smart. While the first sight of sustained water may be a good thing if you are stranded on an island, but not so much on a golf course, and that is what you get on No. 7. The 157-yard par-3 plays over a pond and starts a water theme that will be part of the rest of the day.

Number 8 is again a sub-300yard par-4, measuring in at 293 yards and is a nice break before the 385-yard No. 9, the second toughest hole on the course. The back opens with a picturesque 322-yard par-4 that takes you downhill and then back up again. You don’t have to be a huge hitter to clear the SEE GEM PAGE 10

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

‘Helping’ daughter is really no help BY DAVE RAMSEY daveramsey.com DEAR DAVE, My wife and I have been helping our adopted daughter financially for some time. She’s 25, has been married for three years, and we don’t see this cycle stopping anytime soon. The worst part is, they will often throw in that our grandchild will go without something unless we help. We’re certain this isn’t teaching them to stand on their own feet, but we don’t know what else to do. DAVID DEAR DAVID, You’re right about one thing. It’s time they both learned how to handle money like mature, responsible adults. I don’t know how much your tried to teach her about finances when she was growing up, but it sounds like this “needing help” thing is turning into an endless cycle. You’re giving them money left and right, and it’s not working. You’re giving them fish, and you’ve heard that whole saying. You could also teach them to fish and then not give them any fish, but I like a third choice in this scenario — give them fish only if they take fishing lessons. They get no more money from you unless they get financial counseling together and make a serious move toward straightening up their lives. If they try to play on your feelings by saying your grandchild is hungry, tell them to send the child over for a meal. They’ve figured out if they hold your feet to the fire when it comes

to this grandbaby, you’re going to open the wallet. They’re playing you right now, and it’s not to their benefit — or yours! —DAVE DEAR DAVE, I have an opportunity to take a loan against my 401(k) retirement, and pay myself interest. Is this a good idea? SUSAN DEAR SUSAN, Actually, you’ll end up costing yourself interest. Never take a loan against your retirement!

When you pay interest against your retirement, you cost yourself interest. If you leave the company — which you will someday — the loan against the 401(k) is due within 60 days. —DAVE * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions.

creek that bisects the fairway here, but don’t worry about how much you clear it by. Landing in the fairway here is important and offers you a nice approach shot. Number 11 is the ultimate risk/reward hole on the course. The safe play on this 372-yard dogleg right is to play a long iron or short wood to the landing area straight ahead of the tee box and play a second mid iron to the green. If you want a short wedge in your hand for your second shot, you can risk the big drive and attempt to cut the left corner of the dogleg and try and cleat the trees and fenced-in back yards to give yourself a shorter approach. Next comes Woodruff’s signature hole – the 178-yard par-3 cliff hole. Hitting the ball on the right side of the green will often let the ball funnel to many of the hole locations. The 349-yard slight dogleg right is next. Playing this hole too far right can leave you either in the woods or blinded on your second shot. The best play here is to the left of the fairway – even if you need to lay up in front of the creek and take a longer approach to the green. The final par-3 on the course is next. At 167-yards, choose your 170-yard iron and hit it straight and you will be just fine. The next three holes play 362, 308 and 306 and are playable holes as long and you hit your spots. Creeks and swampy areas make some landing spots tricky – but lay up and give yourself a better second look. Woodruff ends with the hardest rated hole on the course – a 387-yarder that plays downhill to a creek and then uphill where unless you hit a booming drive, you are likely to have a blind approach to the green. Non-residents can ride Woodruff for $56 on the weekends ($40 to walk), while it is $50 on the weekday ($34). Residents of the Joliet Park District pay $44 on the weekend ($28) and $39 on the weekday ($34). Sure, almost $60 is probably a steep price to pay for most Park District courses, if you are going to play any of the three courses in Joliet – this is the one I would recommend.

DUPAGE COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY’S OFFICE >> DOWNERS GROVE

Man sentenced for murdering his mother Michael Bassaly, 30, formerly of Downers Grove, has been sentenced to ﬁfty-ﬁve years for 2013 murder

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced July 11 that Michael Bassaly, 30 (d.o.b. 7/31/1986) formerly of Downers Grove, has been sentenced to fifty-five years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for the 2013 shooting death of his mother Yvonne Zaky Bassaly, 61, also of Downers Grove. Because a jury also found Bassaly guilty of personally

discharging the firearm that killed his mother, he was eligible for an extended prison term in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Judge Daniel Guerin sentenced Bassaly following a three-day-long trial which concluded on February 23, 2017. Bassaly has been held in custody without bond at the DuPage County Jail since the murder. At approximately 12:53 a.m.

on August 29, 2013, in response to a 911 emergency call placed by the defendant, Burr Ridge police were dispatched to St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church. Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered Bassaly’s mother in the backseat of his vehicle. She had been shot once in the head and was gasping for air. Mrs. Bassaly was immediately taken from the scene by ambulance to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead at 1:42 a.m. An investigation conducted by the Burr Ridge Police Department resulted in First Degree Murder charges

against Bassaly as the man who shot his mother in the head. “This afternoon, Michael Bassaly learned that for the execution style murder of his mother, he will spend the next fifty-five years behind bars,” Berlin said. “The senseless murder of Yvonne Zaky Bassaly has touched the lives of so many. It is my sincerest hope that the entire Bassaly family will now be able to move forward with their lives as they close the book on this horrible tragedy that has affected them all. I would like to thank the Burr Ridge Police Department and the Felony

Investigative Assistance Team for their efforts on this very sad case. I would also like to thank Assistant State’s Attorneys Steve Knight and Jennifer Lindt for their outstanding work in proving beyond any doubt that Michael Bassaly murdered his mother.” Judge Guerin sentenced Bassaly to thirty years for the murder of his mother subject to a twentyfive year add on for personally discharging the weapon that killed his mother. He faced a maximum penalty of life in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
