Preparing for Concealed Carry State gun owners apply for new Concealed Carry gun license

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

IMAGES COURTESY CARRY SAFELY

Carry Safely students during live fire training.

Over the weekend, Illinois State police began accepting applications for concealed carry licenses.

Currently there are about 360,000 valid Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) cardholders who could potentially apply for Concealed Carry permits in Cook County.

At press time, it was not yet known how many of those had signed up for the license when applications became available Jan. 5.

However NRA Firearm instructor Greg Powell, of Carry Safely, Inc., estimated that at least 10,000 people had probably applied so far. Powell and his wife, Patricia Snyder, have been teaching concealed carry classes for almost six years.

“My wife and I started as NRA inspectors,” said Powell.

“After that, we went out to Utah to become concealed carry instructors.”

Carry Safely,based near Harvey, is one of the many companies that have been offering training for those interested in applying to Illinois’ new concealed carry permit for the past several weeks.

Other locations include Chicago Firearm Training out of Park Ridge and Illinois Concealed Carry out of Oak Brook.

“You need a FOID card to start off; it’s the first step,” said Powell. “You can’t even buy ammo if you don’t have a FOID card.You fill out a form and send in $10 to the state police [to get a FOID].”

Once someone qualifies for a FOID, they must then pay a $150 application fee, pass a background check and complete a total of 16 hours of training focused on Concealed Carry to get the new license.

Also applicants can’t have been convicted of two or more DUI violations within the last five years or completed courtordered addiction treatment; have no active warrants for your arrest and must not have been charged with a misdemeanor

involving the use or threat of physical violence.

After successfully completing the training course and passing the background check, the applicant will be given a five-year concealed carry license. Even with a concealed-carry permit, there about 100 places (such as a school) where gun owners cannot take a firearm. Unless a Our Illinois specific class goes over where you can’t and can carry a gun, and things like transporting a gun, for example.Essentially, you can’t just shoot anyone in the street.”

- NRA Firearm instructor Greg Powell, of Carry Safely, Inc

gun owner has a canceled carry license, they are prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm.

ISP announced Dec. 30 the application process would include a user ID, password, and questions that will serve as a start point for a criminal background check. If there are no problems with the rollout of the application process, ISP should be able to process an application within 90 days and the earliest concealed carry licenses could possibly be issued by the middle of January, said state police.

However Cara Smith, chief of policy and communications for the Cook County sheriff’s office, previously told The Bugle since FOID has been underfunded historically, realistically the first permits in Cook County wouldn’t be fully available until sometime in April.

Additionally ISP launched a new website is intended to

provide a user-friendly portal designed to ease and expedite the application process with as much information as possible in advance of the Jan. 5 opening of the application process. The new website address can be accessed at http://www.isp. state.il.us/.

Most schools offering concealed carry courses are charging between $100 and $200, depending on how many hours a student has already qualified for.

“What they do is you can ‘bank’ up to eight hours of training,” said Powell. What that means is those who have previous NRA training already have a concealed carry permit in another state like Utah, are a military veteran, etc. can usually go into the conceal carry course with at least half of their hours already accounted for thanks to their previous certification.

The rest of the hours needed to qualify for the new license will then be focused on concealed carry in Illinois.

“Our Illinois specific class goes over where you can’t and can carry a gun, and things like transporting a gun, for example,” said Powell. He also said that the training focuses on forcible felony.“Essentially, you can’t just shoot anyone in the street.”

In addition to teaching gun owners how they would fit into Illinois law as a concealed and carry permit holder, there is also gun range training. The live fire test at Carry Safely involves firing ten rounds at five yards, ten rounds and seven yards and ten rounds at ten yards.

“You have to score a least 70 percent at all those stations,” said Powell.

In a similar vein, Illinois law enforcement has begun new training to prepare them for the new environment that concealed carry will create for them while on patrol. Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board will soon release videos to law enforcement agencies that highlight realistic scenarios that officers may face once conceal carry licenses become available. The new training material for police should be available sometime in spring.

Why not extend Christmas?

Keep the spirit of giving going throughout the year, not just during the holidays Why do we let Christmas end? I know it occurs on a date certain, and afterwards isn’t “Christmas,” but we really like the sentiment, don’t we? We call it the Christmas Season and make oft mention of the Christmas Spirit.

Why is that?

The truth is there are those who have a hard time at Christmastime.

They’ve lost a family member or even had a terrible time of it themselves. They might be struggling with their own problems. Why extend that?

The thing that’s special about Christmas isn’t the gift giving, the fact that retailers desperately need those sales to put themselves into the black (profitable) account, nor is it about the miraculous birth of a little babe in Bethlehem.

Many babies were born around then across the world and perhaps right there in Bethlehem, but this baby became not just a savior, but the Savior. Christmas is exciting because we know the end of the story. Jesus Christ grows up to fulfill his task and

give us the chance to fulfill ours.

When we say Christmastime or make reference to the Christmas Spirit, we mean that spirit of mercy and grace that no person is deserving of.

You see, Jesus Christ’s life makes our real life possible. Despite the challenges of mortality, the limitations of our bodies and the troubles we face we’ll get a perfect resurrected body when Christ comes again. All those aches and pains count for naught on the Morning of the Resurrection.

What about our spirits?

Many think that we’re just so much mishmash of chemicals and electrical impulses.

The exciting thing about Christmas is the beginning of the knowledge that we can be free from sin and error despite our best efforts. Christ gives us that gift of our own free well, despite not deserving all that mercy.

What a gift and those that have it act differently or at least they should. Around Christmastime, we hear a lot of talk about angels.

I’ve seen many angels in my life,

The TruTh is There are Those who have a hard Time aT chrisTmasTime.

They’ve losT a family member or even had a Terrible Time of iT Themselves. They mighT be sTruggling wiTh Their own problems. why exTend ThaT?

and they look just like you. Most often, God will respond to our prayers with someone willing to listen and act.

Too many Christians act more like a character in the“Godfather” than a child of Heavenly Father.

The Apostle John describes Jesus Christ thusly: “In the beginning was the Word.” The Son of God is described as the Word. How often do we choose words that hurt or words that foul with filth the spirit around us? As Christians, we’re to be different – gentle, long-suffering, charitable, merciful, forgiving, etc.The world isn’t our master, Jesus Christ is.

You’re reading this in January 2014. The day we celebrate Christmas is passed, and the old year as well. Seventy-eight percent of New Year’s resolutions fail. Why not be part of the one in five who succeeds? Why not extend Christmas all year long?

Hawks bow out at Proviso; Maine E. wins Luther tourney

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

It’s not a stretch to conclude that Maine South could have given defending Proviso Holiday tournament champion Morgan Park an earlier than expected exit from the championship round of the 53rd annual tourney had Kain Harris not put on a three-point shooting clinic at the Hawks’ expense during their secondround game Dec. 27.

Harris rifled in nine threepointers for the game and scored 33 points in a 60-56 victory.

Yet the Hawks played Morgan Park, which featured highly recruited Josh Cunningham, even throughout most of the game despite Harris’ sizzling shooting.

They fought back from a 47-40 third-quarter deficit and pulled to within two points with 1:33 to go in the game on a back-door layup from George Sargeant (14 points).

The Hawks were still within a basket of tying the game until Cunningham’s layup with 16 seconds to go provided Morgan Park with its margin of victory.

Senior Andrew Palucki also had 14 points for the Hawks on 5 of 7 shooting from the field, and Caleb deMarigny finished with 11 points and seven assists.

“It (Morgan Park) was one of top teams in the state,” said Maine South coach Tony Lavorato of the Mustangs, who were the Proviso West tourney runner-up this time around and also are the defending Class 3A state champions. “I’m really happy with how our kids gutted it out and took a really big step in the right direction.”

The Hawks were ousted from the tourney following a 53-41 loss to Rockford Auburn Dec. 28. Maine South led 20-18 at the break, but Auburn outscored the Hawks 35-21 during the second half. Sargeant tallied 12 points and Palucki 10.

“Rockford Auburn, they’re a

top team (too) so you’re playing some really, really high caliber teams,” Lavorato said.“We needed to expose kids to top level competition. We need to see that and compete with that and not have any fear.”

Last year’s Hawks team went on a 17-game winning streak after losing its final tournament game, but Lavorato pointed out this is a different team and a different year. He and the club are turning their attention to a stretch during which Maine South will play eight games in 10 days, starting with a CSL South contest at Niles West Friday night.

“It’ll be pretty exciting for our kids,” Lavorato said. “We work through some things and put our system in and now we want to start testing ourselves in January and February. We made some mistakes (during the tournament) but got better and we have a lot of growth in us. We still have a good chunk of time left to develop.”

• Maine East limped into the 49th annual Luther North Holiday Classic Tournament with just one victory for the season under its belt. But the Demons caught fire and rattled off four consecutive wins to capture the tourney championship.

It’s the first time Maine East (57) has won the title since it began competing at Luther North five years ago. The Demons finished third last year.

The Demons were in control throughout most of their 62-49 championship game victory over Taft on Monday. Maine East went up by 11 points late in the second quarter and held a double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Travon Jones went a perfect 5 of 5 from the field in the first half—a half in which he scored 14 of his game-high 18 points. Ezeka Omeka scored 12 points, and junior guard Abby George, who was the hero in an earlier tourney game, finished with 10. George sank a jumper with 1.4 seconds

remaining to lift the Demons to a 41-40 victory over Jones College Prep on Dec. 27. He finished with 14 points. Nick Kanjou topped the Demons with 15 points, all coming on three-pointers.

Notre Dame went into this year’s Wildcat Hardwood Classic at Wheeling High School as the defending champion. The Dons, who had their entire 201213 starting lineup gutted by

graduation, weren’t able to repeat, but they did grab the consolation championship, knocking off the host school, 57-44, on Dec. 28.

Ex-Benet teammates meet in Big Ten opener

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Around a foot of lake-effect snow didn’t stop University of Wisconsin fans from making the trek to Evanston last week to support their Badgers, currently ranked among the top five teams in the country.

Badgers’ red-and-white basically washed out the home purple-and-white at Welsh-Ryan Arena for the two teams’ Big Ten opener—a game the Badgers won handily, 76-49.

Red-and-white also happens to be the dominant colors at Benet Academy, and family and friends of former Redwings standouts Frank Kaminsky and Dave Sobolewski—now starters for the Badgers and Wildcats, respectively—came out to support their own.

Redwing pride commenced early as Kaminsky and Sobolewski traded baskets to begin the contest, with Sobolewski hitting a three-pointer to give the Wildcats an early 3-2 edge. That lead, however, was one of only two Northwestern would enjoy the rest of the game over the Badgers, who are off to their best start since 1946.

Wisconsin dominated the remainder of the half and mounted a comfortable 4014 advantage at intermission.

Defense has long been a hallmark of veteran coach Bo Ryan’s teams over the years, and the Badgers were locked in defensively this particular evening, holding the Wildcats to only six baskets in the first 20 minutes. Northwestern shot just 26 percent from the floor during the first half.

“There’s been an increase in

our offense, and our defense has been solid so far,” said Kaminsky, explaining the Badgers’ 14-0 start. “We’ve been able to shut some teams down, some good teams that we’ve played so far and it’s been nice.”

“To hold a team to 14 points in the first half is always a good thing, and I think we did some things to stop them defensively in the first half. We had some things to clean up in the second half, but we played pretty well tonight. It was a good thing.”

Another good thing for Kaminsky and Sobolewski to see was the contingent of wellwishers from their alma mater among the crowd of 8,117.

“There were a ton of Benet people there tonight sitting all over the place,” Sobolewski said.

“It was good to see that.”

Asked if it felt good to be back in the Chicago area, Kaminsky replied, “Definitely. I had a ton of family and friends waiting out there for me (after the game).”

The former teammates, who were named second-team allstate by the Associated Press during their senior season in

which the Redwings won 29 straight games before falling in the sectional semifinals, get a chance to talk periodically, and of course, they touched base that evening.

Kaminsky certainly has become the talk of Madison so far this season in regard to the noticeable jump in his scoring average. The 7-footer averaged 4.2 points mostly in a reserve role last winter, but so far he’s averaging around 14 points per contest—similar to what he averaged his senior year at Benet.

He scored nine points vs. the Wildcats with eight rebounds.

But Kaminsky cemented his name into the Wisconsin record books with an all-time single-game scoring mark of 43 points in the Badgers’ 103-85 victory against North Dakota on Nov. 19. Kaminsky shot an eyebrow-raising 16 of 19 from

the floor, including a perfect 6 of 6 from three-point range. His record bested the old mark of 42 shared by 15-year NBA player Michael Finley (1994), a Proviso East product, and Ken Barnes (1965).

“I think I beat Michael Finley’s record, another Illinois guy, so it was nice,” Kaminsky said with a grin.

“He’s having a great year for them and it’s really exciting to see,”Sobolewski said.“He’s doing great things for them and he’ll only continue to get better.”

Kaminsky said his uptick on the offensive end this season is a byproduct of an increased role with the team.

“There are some things that are going to be expected of me and I think scoring is one of them and defense, obviously, See BIG TEN, page 14

Garrett represents area in Army All-American Bowl

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

SAN ANTONIO — Clifton Garrett became the first player in District 202 history to compete in the Army AllAmerican Bowl Saturday, Jan. 4 at the Alamodome.

It was the 14th annual game featuring 90 of the top high school seniors in the nation and the Plainfield South senior was on the winning West squad, who defeated the East 28-6.

“It was good, I had a lot of fun,” Garrett said. “I thought it was going to be a lot harder than it was. I just went out there, played and trusted my reads. I had a great time out there and made some plays.”

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 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 threeand-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 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.

“I finished my season at home 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.”

BIG TEN Continued from page 12 is the other,” he said. “I’ve had some opportunities so far this season and tried to make the most of them.”

The day after Kaminsky posted his single game school and career high, Sobolewski netted his career high as a Wildcat—a 25-point performance in the ’Cats’ 93-56 mauling of UIC. Then on Dec. 27 against DePaul, the Northwestern point guard canned a trey in the closing seconds that propelled the Wildcats to what appeared to be a comeback victory over the Blue Demons. However, former Morgan Park star Billy Garrett Jr., now a freshman at DePaul, converted a layup with 0.1 seconds to go, and the Demons ended up winning, 57-56.

Outside of these offensive highlights, Sobolewski has been trying to break out of a season-long shooting slump.

He’s shooting under 30 percent

from the field and under 20 percent from the arc through Northwestern’s first 14 games.

Nevertheless,Sobolewski is trying to move forward, concentrating on his responsibilities running the team for new head coach Chris Collins.

“He wants me to be a point guard, run the team, knock down open shots, defend and all the stuff that a coach often looks for in a point guard,” Sobolewski said.

The Wildcats are hovering around the .500 mark thus far for Collins—an assistant coach at Duke for over a decade and the son of former Chicago Bulls head coach Doug Collins who replaced longtime Northwestern coach Bill Carmody last March.

“It’s obviously an adjustment when you go from one coaching staff to another,” Sobolewski said, “but we feel pretty comfortable with him at this point. We need to defend and be more efficient on offense—two things that we didn’t do in the first half of tonight’s game.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

TOURNEY Continued from page 11 The Dons limited high-scoring Jeremy Stephani of Wheeling to 12 points. Meanwhile, Notre Dame’s Ammar Becar dropped in a game-high 18 points and reached double-digit totals in rebounds.

All-tournament team member Joe Mooney and Pat Dillon added 11 and 10 points, respectively.

Notre Dame reached the consolation title game by holding off Lake Park, 70-66. The Lancers trailed the Dons 50-36 going into the fourth quarter, and the Dons survived being outscored by Lake Park, 30-20, in the final eight minutes. Mooney set the pace offensively with a 20-point effort while Becar had 17 and Ryan Roycroft nine.

The Dons resumed regular season play on Jan. 3, and Mooney torched visiting Marmion for 30 points, including five threepointers, as Notre Dame even its record at 7-7 with a 62-50

triumph. Becar also contributed 12 points.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Maine South followed a path at this year’s Dundee-Crown Charger Classic similar to that of Notre Dame. The Hawks, like the Dons, came in as defending champions, and, like the Dons, emerged as this year’s consolation titlist.

The Hawks (10-7), behind 15 points and seven rebounds from Kelly Kons, took the crown with a 44-38 victory on Dec. 30 against Burlington Central, which advanced to the Class 3A Elite Eight a year ago. Hailey Schoneman added 11 points and five rebounds, and Nina Anderson pulled down six rebounds.

On Dec. 28, the Hawks advanced to the consolation final after beating Naperville Central, 50-41. Schoneman led Hawks scorers with 13 points, Anderson added 12 points and six boards, and Megan Roberts pulled down eight rebounds.

Resurrection, also playing in the Charger Classic, went 1-3 for

the tourney.

The Bandits lost their opener to Maine West, 50-46. Kate Moriarty was the only Bandit in double figures with 15 points; Madelin Larsen had nine. The next day, Resurrection was defeated by St. Charles North, 56-41. Larsen was Rez’s leading scorer with 12 and Monica Nunez had 11.

Rez notched its lone victory on Dec. 28, blasting Dundee-Crown, 59-26. Nunez scored nine points for the winners. The Bandits concluded play on Dec. 30, falling to Bartlett, 64-54. Nunez netted 15 points, Moriarty 12 and Larsen nine.

Niles West took Libertyville into overtime at the Mundelein Holiday Tournament Dec. 28 before falling, 42-41. The Wolves led 21-18 at intermission and 2923 at the end of three quarters, but Libertyville outscored Niles West 12-6 in the fourth to send the game into overtime.

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.”

Westphal burst on the scene as a sophomore during Bolingbrook’s run to a Class 8A state title. He helped the Raiders shut down a talented Loyola passing defense and win the program’s first-ever championship.

“He went from being the possible weak link of the defense to being one of the most impactful players we have 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 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

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

interpersonal edge

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 “edge,” drive or motivation by not running around scared.

WEB LINKS www.interpersonaledge.com

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 strategic thinking in the workplace. You may do less

than your coworkers but what you do will be highly effective.

You will soon also find another reward to your new relationship with your anxiety.

People around you will tend to be calmer (and thus think better) because you are modeling leaning into fear rather than running away.

The last word(s) Q. I’m thinking of moving my office to another building in my city but concerned clients won’t follow me. Do you think I should stay put?

A. No, your clients come to see you, not your office. If it’s

better for your business, move.

Teaching humility, gratitude and contentment 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 age about these concepts— 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.

My brother has offered to co-sign on a house for us, but rent is pretty cheap in this area. What do you think we should do?

Peter Dear Peter, You need to forget about a house and plan on renting for a while. You just bought a business, and at this point you don’t even know if it’s going to be successful. Plus, if you need a co-signer to buy a house, car or anything else, it means you’re not financially ready for that purchase.

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.

Privacy

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.
