Despite the gloomy weather outside, Johnson — tall and bespectacled with a sharp suit — is beaming as he rushes in with his planner and a folded-up umbrella. “Sorry,” he says still smiling.“I’m still finding my way around here.” Johnson, 49, deserves a break on his directional difficulties inside USF’s stately Tower Hall.

Valley View 365U School Board recently denied a proposal from the Virtual Learning Solutions Charter School to create an online learning environment for grades kindergarten through 12. School Board President Steve Quigley reported that the Illinois legislature recently passed House Bill 494, which puts a moratorium on virtual charter schools in Illinois for the next 12 months, with the exception of existing charter schools. The Illinois Virtual Charter School @ Fox River Valley (IVCS@FRV) presented its proposal to the school board last month.The online charter school that would open in the fall of 2013 was described as a school that uses technology to connect grade K-12 students, parents, and teachers throughout the Fox River Valley region of Illinois. ILVCS@FRV would partner with K12 Virtual Schools LLC (K12),a for-profit group that delivered online education products. K12 would provide management and curriculum based
on Illinois Learning Standards and Common Core. Quigley explained that the virtual charter school group sought to establish this charter school along with 18 other schools in this area. IVCS@FRV marketed its program, presenting it to schools from St. Charles to Plainfield. In the end, all 18 schools denied the proposal. Groups such as Northern Illinois Jobs with Justice encouraged the denial of such charters, reporting that the project is an attempt to exploit Illinois’ new charter laws and divert taxpayer dollars to the private group. “This is first, the beginning of this,” said Quigley. “If this passes or fails, it will be so noted to the Illinois School Board of Education, which has a charter school component.” The vote to allow the charter still goes before the Illinois Charter Commission. The Valley View school board unanimously denied the proposal with the exception of Liz Campbell, who abstained from the vote.

Touted as one of the best resources in the community by both Bolingbrook and Romeoville officials, the Community Service Council of Northern Will County is available to all residents and is alerting the community of its change of address. Effective May 2, the CSC will be moving out of both of its offices and relocating to 440 Quadrangle Drive, Suite C, Bolingbrook. The CSC was founded in 1973 as a social service agency for residents of Bolingbrook, Romeoville and surrounding communities. CSC was incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit agency in 1978 and its main office was located in Romeoville with a
satellite office for foreclosure prevention at 498 Boughton Road, Bolingbrook Executive Director Robert Kalnicky said now the move comes from a need for additional space. “With the increase of programs offered and counselors on staff we needed to increase our office space,” explained Kalnicky. With the numbers of local residents seeking help to prevent foreclosure continually on the rise, the council is always promoting awareness, urging those who need help to come forward. The CSC is certified by HUD to provide housing counseling, primarily in the areas of mortgage default and rental evictions. CSC receives funds through the Emergency Food and Shelter program to
assist those in need with rent or mortgage payments. In addition to offering housing assistance, services for family and marital counseling are provided by licensed professional counselors on an affordable fee schedule. The staff of 16 is experienced in a full range of counseling,such as marital, depression, divorce, parent-child relations, blended marriage concerns, and other problems at a fraction of the cost, while cutting attorney’s fees, said Kalnicky. The agency offers Anger Managementgroupsforbothadults and teens and a court-approved Domestic Violence program. Licensed CADC counselors conduct DUI evaluations and drug assessments.

JOHNSON Continued from page 1 after all, just two months ago that USF Board Chairman J.D. Ross introduced Johnson as the man who would take the helm when the much-revered Michael Vinciguerra retires May 31, a little more than 10 years after becoming USF’s eighth president. Vinciguerra said he knows he’s passing the torch to a worthy successor. “During my 11 years at the University of St. Francis, I have been committed to the importance of Catholic, Franciscan higher education to progressing our community,” Vinciguerra said in a written statement.“I am gratified that the next president, Dr. Arvid Johnson, will continue that commitment and build on the strong foundation that has made us Joliet’s urban university with a national presence. “I wish Dr. Johnson all the best and know he will very soon come to love USF as much as I do.” The soon-to-be ninth president, Johnson barely contains his enthusiasm as he

Arvid Johnson, incoming USF President, chats with some students in Tower Hall. While running an educational institution is like running a business, he said the main purpose of school is to serve the students so they, too, can learn to serve the community.
speaks of his new post and the greater opportunity he will have to experience a feeling that has driven most of his life: watching as the light goes on in the eyes of teachers he is mentoring, and then as they do the same with their own students. The Oak Lawn native first got that feeling when he tutored
his peers as a National Honor Society student at Brother Rice High School in Chicago. “If you can tutor or teach, you also increase your own understanding,” he said, hands expressive as his face as he makes his point. Rather than head straight into the education field, Johnson instead took his physics degree from Lewis University to industry, designing microwave vacuum tubes for radar devices. “I wanted to see what it was like to get out and work for a living,” he said with a smile.“After five or six years in industry, I started doing some adjunct teaching.” As he moved up in industry, finally with Northrup-Grumman Corp. in Lake of the Hills, Johnson slowly started getting back into teaching, drawn once again by that desire to see students’ eyes light up with epiphanies. Something he saw as well while leading groups in industry. Finally, he was lured into becoming the dean of the Brennan School of Business at Dominican University in River Forest, where he also was a tenured professor of management, teaching undergraduate and graduate business courses. The new job there necessitated a move for the family. So Johnson and wife Anne looked around in the area for the best schools for their three sons. After some thorough research, they found School District 157-C in Frankfort and move there some 10 years
ago.The three boys got great educations there and at LincolnWay High School, Johnson said. He felt that old light go on again when Lincoln-Way’s Stacy Holland invited him to tour Lincoln-Way East in Frankfort as part of a breakfast for local business people. “That event hooked me,” Johnson said, his eyes brightening again.“There were great discussions in the classroom using lots of different (teaching) methods. And, of course, they were getting great results.They are consistently among the lowest spending on each student, and the scores are among the highest. “I asked if there was any way I could help.” Lincoln-Way officials didn’t waste any time, getting him on one of the committees to investigate school district expansion. Residents in the district, enlightened by the information gathered by the committees, passed a referendum allowing for the construction of two new high schools. In late 2008-2009, Johnson again stepped up, taking a Lincoln-Way School Board spot when a current member stepped down. He was elected to the board later in 2009 and again in April. He serves as president of the board. “Since coming on the Board, Arvid has expanded his knowledge of our school district while developing his leadership style, making the board comfortable in electing
him president and the district face when the media is seeking information from the board,” Superintendent Larry Wyllie said.“He is a fine human being, bright, and extremely capable. I have truly enjoyed working with him.” Holland was glad he accepted that initial invitation. “Arvid is a true asset to Lincoln-Way, a fine person and has served Lincoln-Way as an extremely capable school board member and president,” she said. But a higher calling was in the works when he received a call from a search firm late last year suggesting he apply for the position of president. Vinciguerra, who had engineered much of USF’s spiritual and physical growth during the past decade, was retiring to spend more time in Joliet with his wife Grace. Johnson was interested. Asked why he didn’t seek the superintendent’s position at Lincoln-Way, knowing that Larry Wyllie was stepping down after 24 years this year, he said there were two reasons: “The first is practical: I don’t have the state licenses to be a superintendent. And I am really committed to Catholic higher education,” said Johnson, who thought at one time about becoming a Christian Brother. After doing his “due diligence,” Johnson said he met with an interview team from the USF community at a hotel near O’Hare. He was so taken with the group friendliness and camaraderie – their esprit de corps -- that he couldn’t wait to see if everyone at USF was like that. During a following two-day visit to the campus, he found they were … and more. He saw that “the faculty, staff and administration were dedicated to the mission of the school.There is a joy here that makes it a neat place to work.” Going forward, he admits he doesn’t know enough about USF’s day-to-day operations yet to set an agenda. He knows there is nothing critical; Vinciguerra is leaving a tight ship. If anything, he said, they need to find a way to “let USF’s light shine” throughout the community and beyond. And he knows what whatever the course, he will have a lot of help getting there. “People here haven’t been telling me,‘This is what we need to do,’” he said.“They’ve been asking,‘What can I do to help.’That’s the USF way.”

Romeoville takes care of their own
HERO conference a success
I am inspired again to write about seniors and communities that come together in a very somber need. I am a very proud member of the Romeoville Golden Agers for 14 years. Our club, during any persons need, is always very supportive, I had a phone call to attend a new Carillon member Golden Ager memorial at our local funeral home. As always, many people, of whom I do not know, were comforting each other. Our local funeral home, Anderson and the family go beyond their career with excellent guidance and direction to everyone. I speak because I have had personal experience with their caring expertise. This man, who died, I and most of our local Romeoville Golden Agers
did not know personally. But, because he was “one of us” there was a tremendous turnout. We Golden Agers form a very large circle and hold hands, and recite the Lords Prayer. It is truly “awesome” to watch. I and many other residents are grateful to live in a very helpful and caring community. We all call Romeoville, OUR HOME. All of the old residents (myself included) welcome with open hands and hearts - Carillon, Grand Haven, Lakewood falls, and many new sub-divisions. We are fortunate to call them neighbors and friends. We seniors hope to leave a heritage of values and ethics. We all try to set an example for the younger generation to carry on. these endeavors.

n April 19, several grassroots organizations brought together an impressive array of speakers from the private sector and from every level of government right up to the White House to outline strategies aimed at curbing the epidemic of heroin abuse in our suburban communities. This insidious drug has infiltrated every collar county in recent years and has laid waste to an alarming number of lives. The second annual Hero Helps Community Forum, held April 19 at Lewis University in Romeoville, brought an estimated 700 people – police officers, doctors, nurses, addiction specialists, educators, pastors, public health experts and concerned parents – all of whom are interested in bringing an end to this horrible plague. Our ultimate goal is to develop a statewide protocol to connect patients who have abused heroin with treatment providers and create a mandatory tracking system targeting those who attempt to fill multiple prescriptions for addictive drugs.
We are grateful to the distinguished experts who donated their time to educate our citizens, particularly Deputy Director Michael Botticelli from the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Other speakers from the medical community included Illinois Director of Public Health Dr. Lamar Hasbrouck, Dr. David Mikolaczyk of Silver Cross Hospital, Dr. Steven Aks of Toxicon Consortium of Chicago and Dr. Seth Eisenberg of the Illinois Department of Human Services. James Roache of the FBIChicago Division shed light on the shady business of the heroin trade and why Chicago is a critical link in the distribution chain of this dangerous narcotic. Kathleen Burke of the Robert Crown Center for Health Education demonstrated the heroin prevention initiative that is currently being piloted in several of our Will County schools. We also want to acknowledge John Cicero and Dr. Joseph Troiani from the Will County Health Department, Will County Coroner Pat O’Neil and Judge Ray Nash, all of whom have been educating the public about the dangers of heroin use. We were also pleased to get

We are grateful to the more than 40 organizations that participated in our resource fair and shared information about treatment and education programs to offer solutions to individuals battling an addiction. We are also grateful to the many volunteers who donated their time to make this event a success. Unfortunately, heroin continues to affect Will County.

Great Read closing gala scheduled for May 2 Plainfield-area community members are invited to witness a portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln’s last moments at the White House with his beloved wife, Mary Todd just before his assassination at the 2013 Great Read community literacy program’s Closing Gala at 7 p.m. May 2. Husband-and-wife actors Max and Donna Daniels will portray the 16th American president and Mary Todd Lincoln in a free program titled, “A Night at the Theater” at the Fountaindale Public Library, 300 W. Briarcliff Road, Bolingbrook. Refreshments will be served. This year, the 2013 Great Read celebrates the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, made in 1863. Plainfield-area community members are
encouraged to read any books about the 16th president and take part in the Great Read’s numerous fun, historical and educational programs dedicated to Lincoln. The Emancipation Proclamation is one of Lincoln’s greatest achievements. It led to the passage of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865, which abolished slavery. The winners of the “All About Abe Lincoln Art Contest” will also be announced. The contest features artwork from area students. Several pieces will also be on display at the Plainfield Historical Museum, 23836 W. Main St., in downtown Plainfield. Plus students in preschool through fifth grade are also encouraged to attend the program dressed as Abraham or Mary Todd Lincoln. Prizes
will be given in three age categories: Preschool, K-3 and 3-5. “This year’s Great Read program has been very well received,” said Ceil Carey, Plainfield Public Library Director of Outreach.“Abraham Lincoln’s life continues to fascinate so many people because of his monumental achievements, and we hope as many community residents as possible will come to the Closing Gala for this very special presentation.” The Great Read promotes literacy, conversation, reading and community in the Plainfield area. The program typically focuses on a single book each year that connects to the community, a literary theme or an issue important at the time. However, President Lincoln had such an immense impact
on the country and the world that the Great Read instead decided this year to feature a theme – Abraham Lincoln – rather than a single book. The Plainfield Public Library and Plainfield School District 202 co-founded the Great Read program in September 2004 as Reading Across Plainfield. That year, a panel hosted by the Plainfield School District and Plainfield Public Library debated the theme of government censorship as illustrated in “Fahrenheit 451,” Ray Bradbury’s science fiction classic. In 2008, Reading Across Plainfield became The Great Read, and new partners from Joliet and Bolingbrook joined the program to encourage broader community participation,better reflect the areas served and emphasize the program’s literary focus. This year, The Great Read
added three more community partners: Shorewood-Troy Public Library,Troy Community Consolidated School District and Joliet Junior College. The Great Read 2013 is also presented by the Joliet Public Library; the Fountaindale Public Library; Plainfield Township; Troy Community Consolidated School District and the Joliet-area Barnes and Noble stores. The Great Read is also supported by grants from the Plainfield Foundation for Excellence, the Friends of the Plainfield Public Library; and additional funding from Enterprise Publications and participating member organizations.

Penn Station serving up subs at Bolingbrook locale By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
Made-to-order sandwiches and a quality product---that’s what is bringing customers into the new Penn Station East Coast Subs sandwich shop in Bolingbrook -- and what possessed owner Julie Beckett to commit to the business. Nationally known for its signature Philadelphia Cheesesteak sandwich, Penn Station is not new to success, but it is new to the area. The chain currently only has three locations in Illinois: Lombard, Gurnee, and Grayslake. That is, until now. Since April 9, customers have been lining up during the lunch hour at its newest location on the northeast corner of Weber Road and Lily Cache Lane. “I lived on these sandwiches in college,” said Joe Ooten, a local businessman stopping in for lunch. “They are made to order and are so fresh. It’s pure quality.” Penn Station East Coast Subs is an upscale, fast-casual restaurant that serves a variety of hot and cold subs, as well as fresh, handcut, made-to-order french fries, hand-squeezed lemonade made several times daily and chocolate chunk cookies baked fresh in the restaurant.
Naperville resident Beckett signed on to develop five restaurants in the southwest suburbs over the next three years, opting to make Bolingbrook her first choice. “I fell in love with this location,” said Beckett.“It has a small-town feel to it in an established area that I think will do well.” She said when she was looking for a project to franchise; she simply loved the product, noting that nothing is cooked ahead of time. In fact, she warns, sandwiches take eight minutes to cook—and it’s worth the wait, saying its made-to-order, fresh take on the hot and cold sub is what makes Penn Station stand out from the crowd. The new shop employs 25 people and is now open for operation seven days a week: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday; and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1985, Penn Station has more than 250 restaurants in 13 states, including Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. “We are so excited to bring Penn Station to Bolingbrook

and help grow this brand in the Chicago suburbs,” Beckett said. “Penn Station has a unique menu full of fresh, flavorful products, and the franchising
model is transparent, stable, and incredibly investor-friendly. We know this is going to be a great fit for the community.” The company plans to have 20
to 25 restaurants throughout the Chicago area by 2015. For menu options and email savings check out http://www.penn-station. com.

USF hosts Feed My Starving Children event Many months of planning culminatedApril 6 as the University of St. Francis community pulled off a major event to feed hungry children across the globe. The Twin Cities-based Feed My Starving Children organization partnered with students and community members to successfully execute a MobilePack event on USF’s campus. Led by the University Ministry staff and junior Brandon Collofello(Minooka), the USF student team worked tirelessly for months to make the event a reality. Key participants included Samantha Aguilera(Montgomery), Kristen Anderson(Romeoville), Marisa Dressler(New Lenox), Leslie Durden(Oak Park), Ryan Kalinoski(Oak Forest), Judith Legorreta(Vernon Hills), Kenny Mason(Oak Lawn), Allison Rhodes(Minooka), Mary Kate Sanders, Ashley Sikyta(Normal), Erin Suttman(Joliet), Ketura Taylor(Cary) and Devan Trueba(Chicago). The entire event was overseen by USF’s Director of University Ministry, Julie Krakora, who reported, “Some members of the student leadership team had tears of joy when they heard we packed over 101,000 meals. We were also astounded by the nearly $2,000 in funds which came in that day. While we still need $6,000 to reach our $22,000 goal, this was an absolute success to be celebrated-- born from our students’ passion.” The meals were packed by teams of volunteers from USF and the community, including local high schools, area churches, scouting groups, families and more. Even the Future Teachers Club from Joliet Central attended in light of their special partnership with USF through the MERIT Scholarship Program.

More than 400 volunteers worked in shifts through the day to pack meals for the hungry at a Feed My Starving Children event at University of St. Francis.
Birthday celebration One group of eighth graders from Crone Middle School in Naperville was there to volunteer and celebrate a birthday. Alyssa Metlicka, daughter of USF College of Education professor Donna Metlicka, decided earlier in the month that she wanted her 14th birthday party to happen during the Feed My Starving Children event at USF. Said her mom, “Girls her age usually have parties with roller skating or nail-painting, but Alyssa said she wanted to volunteer. She

realized she’d have family coming to celebrate her birthday with her, and that she’d be getting presents, all while there are kids out there who don’t even have food. I thought it was really sweet for a 14-year old to be so selfless.” When asked what she looked most forward to about volunteering, the birthday girl
said with a humble smile,“A lot of people don’t get the opportunities I do, so I just want to give back. I am excited about packing food and having fun.” Alyssa’s brother, father and grandmother also came to participate in the MobilePack event. The Metlickas weren’t the only
family working together for others. In addition to some alumni and staff family groups and husbandwife teams, USF nursing student Kylie Pommier (Plainfield) had her clan at her side. Included were two best friends from USF, Katie Mitchell(Plainfield) and Megan Tjelle(Coal City); her two younger sisters, Maria and
Taryn Truppa; and her mom, Jennifer Truppa, who joked that she was a mega-volunteer that day. Truppa had started her day by taking kids to track practice, then to softball practice, then helping at “Operation Welcome You Home” in Plainfield to greet a returning Marine, then finishing up by packing meals at Feed My Starving Children. “And after this, it might be time for a margarita!” she laughed. When Pommier was asked how she first became interested in FMSC, she explained, “One day I asked my mom if we could volunteer at a soup kitchen sometime. She looked around and found Feed My Starving Children. We went to the facility in Aurora first and really liked it, and now we’ve done a bunch of their events. I was really excited when I heard there was going to be one at USF.” Seven-year-oldTaryn was having a ball with the meal packing but also seemed to sense the more sensitive issues at hand.“I did this about seven or eight times with my whole family and I really like how all of the people are helping other people who are starving. I really like how everybody cares about each other.”

H o ro s c o p e s Risky business is not show business. Sometimes you like to walk on the wild side and push your limits but in the week to come, you would be wise to avoid strenuous escapades like rock-climbing.
Party animals on the prowl sometimes growl. With funloving Venus in your sign, you may have numerous opportunities to socialize in the week ahead - but a heavy work load could cramp your style.
Strive to be a voice, not an echo. You might have a tendency to adopt other people’s opinions as your own in the week to come. You can’t take it for granted that those opinions are based on due diligence.
A satisfying job and financial security might be your priority in the week ahead. Family and social life could take a back seat to career, as you focus on realizing your ambitions.
Focus on achieving ambitions, not on group consensus. Interpersonal relationships could be a bit challenging early in the week. Be as straightforward as possible to avoid alienating those you value the most.
Pay attention to what is going on in the outside world. In the upcoming week, tune into the news, the radio or TV, and you will find guidance for your job and career problems right there in plain sight.
You won’t be able to make permanent plans with temporary people. You may be frustrated in attempts to stand up for yourself. The week ahead isn’t a good time to invest your money or your emotions.
Buck up. The more you talk about the drama and demands in your life, the more you reinforce them. In the upcoming week, simply get on with your jobs and refuse to dwell on the nagging negatives.
Beautify your surroundings. Harmony around you will reflect the harmony within during the week ahead. You might take a few minutes to make a difference by improving work conditions.
The secret to success in the week ahead is to focus your energy on building up something new rather than tearing down something old. You may feel that your private space is threatened by others.
Having a few adventures may be good for you. Remain cautious, however, and don’t neglect duties. If you are thinking of beginning anything long-lasting or important, hold off until this week is over.
The love of your life may be difficult to find, but once found, will be impossible to forget. During the upcoming week, you may experience a few trials and tribulations but will be rewarded for your efforts.

Lewis spikers fall in MIVA title game By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
Steve Woltmann/Lewis University
Downers Grove North alum Jay Petty finished his career at Lewis Saturday.
When the Lewis University men’s volleyball team fell in five games to Loyola in the 2013 Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Championship, it not only ended the season for the Flyers, it also ended the career for Flyer standout Jay Petty from Downers Grove North High School “I don’t know that you can say enough about Jay Petty,” said Lewis coach Dan Friend. “Not only what he has done for the team, but what he has done for the program over his time here over five years. He basically carried us to the Final Four last year and this year after shoulder surgery, he found another role passing and playing defense while still managing to score points and block.” In the 23-25, 25-23, 10-25, 2522, 15-7 loss to Loyola April 27, Petty posted nine kills, eight digs three block assists and a solo block. He was also named to the MIVA All-Tournament Team along with teammates B.J Boldog, Geoff Powell and Eric Fitterer. “It is not the way I wanted to end my career, but it is what it
is,” Petty said. “We played up and down volleyball this year and even in this match. It has been fun. The people that I have met here, it has been great.” Petty said he has enjoyed the fact that the majority of the Flyers’ squad is from the greater Chicagoland area, something he did not expect coming out of high school five years ago. “When I started playing club, there was a big emphasis on the California kids being the best players and I got to see that change over my career,” he said. “In a sense I am the last. I was overlooked and I had a chip on my shoulder and Dan (Friend) was the only to take a chance on me and used that chip while I was here.” One of those Chicago area players, Eric Butch, a redshirt sophomore out of Maine South, is happy Petty broke the mold. “Jay Petty did a great job all season,” Butch said. “He is such an inspiration. He raised the level of play every day in practice and in games and we are going to miss that.” Butch, who posted eight digs from his libero position in the See MIVA, page 14

Sports MIVA Continued from page 13 loss, will return next season, along with a lot of other players that should have the Flyers back ready to contend again. One of those returners will definitely keep Jay Petty watching his alma mater, as younger brother Greg is a sophomore on the Flyers. After battling mono for nearly two months this season, Greg did not play as much as he did a year ago, but did get on the floor in the fifth set and record a pair of kills. “It was nice (to be on the floor together to end it),” Jay said.“Last year was great when I got to spend almost the whole season on the floor with him and that
was great.” Greg knows that although his brother will be gone next season, the talent is there to compete for another trip to the Final Four. “The great thing about us is, we are all still pretty raw,” Greg said. “We are all really from the Chicagoland area and a lot of us started playing volleyball late, so we still have a lot we can learn. We are going to work hard and try to get back to the final four again next year.” Lewis ended the season this year with a 20-10 record. In the loss, Lewis came out and won the first set with a .583 hitting percentage, picking up 14 kills on 24 total attempts with no errors and out-blocking the Ramblers, 3.5 total team blocks to zero. Powell paced Lewis with six kills while Fitterer picked up five.
The Ramblers came right back in the second and tied the match a one set each. In the third, it looked like Lewis took control. The Flyers swung at a .529 clip, posting 11 kills and two errors in 17 attempts, while holding the Ramblers to a negative .130 (6 kills, 9 errors, 23 total attempts). Fitterer had four kills and Powell had three. In the fourth, the teams were tied at 17-17 when Loyola took control of the match. The Ramblers took advantage of three late Flyer errors for the set victory and force a fifth set, which was all Loyola. The Ramblers jumped out to a 3-0 lead and never looked back, taking the win. Fitterer led the Flyers with 16 kills, six digs and three block assists while Powell had 15 kills, eight digs and two block assists. Boldog had 44 assists, nine digs and two block assists and freshman middle blocker Bobby Walsh had seven kills while collecting one solo block and four block assists.

Spartans second in SPC By Scott Taylor Sports Editor
For the past few years the Romeoville badminton team has found itself in the bottom half of the Southwest Prairie Conference standings. That all changed this year. Thanks to a strong and committed senior class, the
Spartans went undefeated in the SPC in the regular season and were second at the tournament Saturday,April 27. Romeoville finished with 43 points, while Oswego won with 45. “It shows a lot of character in the kids,” Romeoville coach Chaz Kuhn said. “They continued to buy into what we were selling.
They were good examples for the younger levels. Programs have to be built somewhere and I think this was a huge step forward to solidify us as a contender for years to come. I can’t thank the seniors enough.” “We had a very successful year by taking second in conference,” See SPC, page 16

Lewis’ Carlson wins national award The Illinois Basketball Coaches Association announced that Lewis University head women’s basketball coach Lisa Carlsen has been named the 2013 NCAA Division II Coach of the Year, following the Flyers’ run to the NCAA Tournament this past season. Carlsen guided the Flyers to a 24-6 record, a Great Lakes Valley Conference title and was named the 2013 GLVC Coach of the Year. “This year’s team was able to
accomplish something that was very special,” Carlsen said. “A GLVC championship with the caliber of basketball in this league is something to be proud of. “The credit really goes to our student athletes, my great staff (Kerri James and Kierra McCleary), and the support of many people.”
BASEBALL The No. 12 Lewis University baseball team dropped two Great
Lakes Valley Conference games to Saint Joseph’s, 8-5 and 4-2, on Sunday (April 28) at Gil Hodges Field. The Flyers fall to 26-11 on the season and 20-9 in conference games to drop to second in the GLVC East.The Pumas move to 2613, and take over first in the East Division with 21-9 record against GLVC opponents. “Saint Joseph’s did everything better than us this weekend,” Lewis head baseball coach Tim
McDonough said. “In this league, you have to find ways to win and we didn’t do that.” “We had some chances today to win both games, but we didn’t get the big hits or limit them when we had to. Saint Joseph’s just kept coming and we didn’t respond like we had all season long.” In the first game of the day, the Flyers jumped on the board in the first inning, as junior Kyle Kapka (Mount Prospect, Ill./Prospect) hit a two-RBI double to score junior
Jake Murray (Downers Grove, Ill./ Downers Grove North/Moraine Valley C.C.) and senior Michael Schroeder (Crown Point, Ind./ Triton). The Puma’s answered in the bottom of the first with three runs on two hits. Saint Joseph’s Kolin Connor hit a two-RBI triple before he crossed home plate two batters later on a single by Garrett O’Neill.

better to get first. It’s a good accomplishment still.” “I was very happy with taking second,” Underwood said. “I have really learned some things over the years playing singles and it has really helped me.” Both will move on to compete in the singles bracket at sectionals this week. “I believe I can make it to state,” Underwood said. “I hear coaches talk about me and that gives me a lot of confidence. I have a lot of confidence in myself, but I have to play my game. If I play my game, I feel I have a good chance to make it to state.That is my ultimate goal. I’ve played for four years and to make it to state as a senior, I would feel so accomplished. To have my face on the wall would be a really good feeling.”
“Hopefully I can make it to state and go from there,” Vazquez said. “I’ve been trying to make it to state since sophomore year, so hopefully I will. I have to work hard during practice.” Kuhn feels they are ready to give it a run at becoming sate qualifiers. “The good think about them is they do play other sports so they are competitors,” Kuhn said. “They are peaking at the right time.That will be an advantage for them going forward. Everything is up for grabs and it is who takes advantage of the opportunities given.” Singles champions for Romeoville in the SPC meet were Angeleah Barin (No. 4), Cree Johnson (No.8) and Nikki Crowley (No 9). Finishing second in were Faith Mancol (No. 10), Klaudia Kuklinska (No. 7), Jacqueline Crowley (No. 6) and the No. 5 doubles team of Jacqueline Crowley and Sara Teichman.

We worked hard as a team.” “We started off slow low my freshman year,” Romeoville senior Rosie Vazquez said. “Getting second place and almost winning is a great accomplishment.” Underwood and Vazquez teamed up to place second at No. 1 doubles and they each were second at first and second singles, respectively. “It was pretty good,” Vazquez said. “It would have been

Slaby scored Barajas on a bunt single for the Flyers first run of the inning. Murray advanced the runners on a sacrifice bunt before Schroeder hit a sacrifice fly to left field to score Buddle. Saint Joseph’s again answered the Flyers’ runs with some of their own, getting four runs on five hits, all singles, in the bottom of the second frame.The Puma’s added a single run in the fourth to increase their lead to 8-4. The Flyers picked up a run in the top of the seventh when Schroeder doubled in Murray, who reached base after getting hit by a pitch. Flyers senior pitcher Matt Frahm (McLean, Ill./Olympia) took the
loss, giving up seven runs, six earned,on seven hits in 1.2 innings of work. Frahm (6-1) walked three and struck out two. SJC’s Brett Maus (4-4) pitched seven innings for the victory, as he gave up five runs on 10 hits and fanned seven. In game two, the Pumas carried a 3-0 lead through six innings, picking up the runs on five hits and a Flyer error. Lewis cut into Saint Joseph’s lead in the top of the seventh, as junior Ben Albano (West Dundee, Ill./Jacobs), Kapka and senior Brian Norwood (Medinah, Ill./ Lake Park) strung together threestraight singles. The Flyers base runners put pressure on the Puma’s defense as Albano scored on a throwing error on Norwood’s bunt single. Kapka crossed the plate on a groundout to third by Barajas to make the score 3-2 Pumas. The Pumas’ added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth, as Conner legged out a RBI triple. Lewis’ starting pitcher, junior Tom Helwich (New Lenox, Ill./ Lincoln Way Central) took the loss in 7.1 innings of work. Helwich (72) gave up four runs, three earned, on eight hits while striking out
seven. Saint Joseph’s Jake Harper (4-2) picked up the win, after throwing nine innings. Harper allowed two runs, neither earned, on six hits while striking out six and walking two.
SOFTBALL The Lewis University softball team split their third-consecutive Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader as the host Flyers earned the 4-0 win in the opener against Saint Joseph’s, before falling 5-1 in the nightcap on ‘Senior Day’ at the Lewis Softball Field on Sunday (Apr. 28) afternoon. “I thought this weekend was a good test for us to prepare for the GLVC Tournament,” Lewis head softball coach George DiMatteo said.“I was very pleased with the way we played in game one, but I thought we had a bit of a hangover in the second game because of the ‘Senior Day’ festivities, which is understandable.” With the split, Lewis is now 26-14 overall and 20-8 in GLVC action, while the visiting Pumas move to 26-17 on the campaign and 14-17 in conference play.
THE BUGLE MAY 2, 2013 In the opener, Lewis starting pitcher Kelly Bowler (Lockport, Ill./Lockport) earned the complete-game, three-hit shutout win for the Flyers. Bowler (14-7) struck out six batters. Bowler’s counterpart, Sarah Franklin (10-8) scattered four runs and 11 hits in six innings of work, while fanning four. Lewis senior right fielder Lauren Hanford (Morris, Ill./Morris) went 2-for-3 with three RBI, including a two-run homer, to lead the Flyers offensively in game one. Flyer sophomore second baseman Frankie Rys (Homer Glen, Ill./ Marist) was 3-for-3 with a RBI, while senior shortstop Michelle Vucsko (Chicago, Ill./Marist) collected two hits and scored a run. In the nightcap, Lewis held a 1-0 lead until the fourth inning when Saint Joseph’s center fielder Kristin Paris (2-for-3, 2 RBI, run) put the Pumas ahead, 2-1, on a two-run home run off of Lewis starting pitcher Ali Brems (Kenosha,Wis./Harborside). The Pumas would tack on three more runs in the fifth inning on RBI singles by designated player Caitlin Enright (2-for-4, RBI, run) and left fielder Kylie Weeks (3-
17
for-4, RBI, run). SJC would score another run on a fielding error by Bowler - who came on in relief of Brems. Brems (12-7) allowed five runs and six hits in 4.2 innings of work, while striking out three batters.She, along with senior center fielder Jayme Hefler (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West), each collected two hits at the plate in game two.

Kahne’s Hendrick resume gets better Call it motivation from within. And Rick Hendrick likely wouldn’t have it any other way. Jimmie Johnson’s road to a sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship well might converge with those of one or more Hendrick Motorsports teammates. Dale Earnhardt Jr., in fifth place, headed the standings earlier this year. Now the pressure comes
from Kasey Kahne, who ended the 2012 season with a flourish and has yet to lift his foot from the accelerator of the No. 5 Chevrolet. Kahne’s third top-two finish of the season last Sunday at Kansas Speedway boosted the Washington native to the No. 2 spot in rankings entering Saturday night’s Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway. Kahne trails Johnson by
37 points. A year ago – his first with the Hendrick organization – Kahne had just begun his climb from the purgatory of four finishes of 29th or worse in the season’s opening six races. A fifth-place finish at Richmond was part of a 10-race run of top 10s that included a Coca-Cola 600 victory in Charlotte. Kahne made the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup™ and
finished fourth in points. His current second place matches a career best, and he’s never been this high in the points this late in the season. “I feel like we have a great team and we’re in a really good spot right now,” said Kahne after running second to Kansas winner Matt Kenseth. Statistically speaking,Kahne has been hot and cold at Richmond. He scored his first Sprint Cup
victory at the 0.75-mile track in spring 2005 leading 242 of the 400 laps. Kahne’s Driver Rating of 87.8, however, ranks 12th among current competitors and his average finish is 18.0. Judging a driver’s present with his past can be deceiving. Kahne’s Richmond statistics are a mix of 18 races with Hendrick, Red Bull Racing,Richard Petty Motorsports and Evernham Motorsports.
WEEKLY RACING UPDATE FAMILY BUSINESS

Kasey Kahne is the driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports.
With the Earnhardt name comes lofty expectations from the fans, media and … family. Jeffrey Earnhardt, the son of Kerry Earnhardt and grandson of the late Dale Earnhardt, finished 17th in the the No. 5 JR Motorsports Chevrolet in Friday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Richmond. He drove for 10-time NMPA Most Popular driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., who just happens to be his uncle. The opportunity could be Jeffrey’s last chance to prove that he has the chops to succeed in one of NASCAR’s national series. He’ll be in top-notch equipment as JR Motorsports receives engines and support from Hendrick Motorsports. So, there will be very little room for excuses. In five races this season, the youngest member in the Earnhardt NASCAR lineage has an average finishing position of 24.4, with his best finish (20th) coming at Phoenix. In 15 career starts in the NNS, his best finish was a 19th in the July 2011 event at Daytona International Speedway. In 10 career races in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Jeffrey’s best finish is a seventh in the 2011 season opener at Daytona.

Going Dutch
ON A DAY TRIP FROM AMSTERDAM
tRibuNe mediA SeRViCeS
Less than an hour away from Amsterdam, the fishing village of Marken is a time-warp trip into old Holland.
W
hen researching my guidebooks, almost by definition I have to revisit the same places. But I also like to take a few day trips here and there to scout out new destinations - both for future editions and for future TV shows. On my last visit to Europe, I explored many places, including the lush lowlands of Holland. In a country as tiny as the Netherlands, daytripping is easy to do. Within a half-hour of leaving Amsterdam’s main train station, you can be deep in the Dutch countryside - awash with tulips, red-brick houses, quaint waterways, and black-andwhite cows. I found canals with reflections that would inspire Monet to set up his easel. While there are lots of day-trip options - such as Haarlem, Delft, the Hague, or Arnhem - I spent my day visiting Edam, Marken, and Volendam - three picturesque villages in a region northeast of Amsterdam aptly called the
Waterland. Edam - known for its famous cheese covered in red or yellow wax - is full of history, charm, great hotels, and ambience. I loved it. This adorable village is sweet but not saccharine, and is just 30 minutes by bus from Amsterdam. If you go, try to visit during Edam’s Wednesday morning market; it’s held yearround, but is best in July and August, when farmers bring their cheese by boat and horse to the center of town.You can watch as the cheese is weighed and traded by Edamers in traditional garb. Although Edam is known today for cheese, it was once an industrious shipyard and port. That’s why, in the 17th century, the town’s specialty became one of the most popular cheeses in the world. Sailors took wheels of Edam on their voyages - the cheese doesn’t spoil easily and could be traded for spices and other riches of the East.
The ships are long gone; today, Edam’s main trade is tourism.The best thing to do is to just wander its storybook lanes and canals. Consider taking a short walking tour; ask for a free tour booklet available at the tourist-info office on the main square. While the town itself is the real attraction, I also checked out the Edam Museum - a 400-yearold historical residence that provides a fun peek at what old canal houses once looked like (www.edamsmuseum.nl).This house is particularly interesting for its floating cellar, designed to accommodate changes in water level without destabilizing the structure. After a cheesy morning in Edam, I traveled to one of the Netherlands’ most traditional fishing communities - Marken. This time-passed hamlet in a bottle - once virtually abandoned - has been kept alive as a tourist attraction. It’s quiet, perfectly quaint, and well-preserved, but not annoyingly crowded. This island town once had a harbor for whaling and herring
fishing, but when the Zuiderzee began to silt up in the late 17th century, it became more and more difficult to eke out a living here. Centuries later, when the Zuiderzee was diked off, Marken became a virtual ghost town. But in 1957, engineers built a long causeway from the mainland to the island hamlet, which allowed easy access for visitors to marvel at its cuteness. Walking around Marken, I was impressed with the town’s unique architecture, adapted to survive the challenging local conditions. Because the tides could be so temperamental, houses here tend to cluster on little hills called werven, or are built on pilings to keep them high and dry.Traditional Marken homes, while dull and blacktarred outside, are painted a cheerful yellow and blue inside. In the extremely charming neighborhood of Kerkbuurt, I found the modest Marker Museum, which celebrates the 16th-century costumes (still worn for special events) and traditional lifestyles of the people of Marken
(www.markermuseum.nl). For sustenance, I nibbled on some kibbeling (local fish-and-chips) at an idyllic eatery on the harbor. Some visitors take a 40-minute walk out to the town’s lighthouse, picturesquely situated at the far end of the island, at the tip of a sandy spit. The third town I visited Volendam - was grotesquely touristic ... mix Killarney and Coney Island and then drizzle with herring juice.The town’s promenade is lined with souvenir shops, indoor/outdoor eateries, and Dutch cliches. For a megadose of kitsch, visit the Volendam Museum’s Cigarband House, where a local artist has glued 11 million cigarbands to big boards to create giant images - from Dutch windmills to a sour-looking Statue of Liberty. Amsterdam can be thrilling, but any native will tell you:To really experience everyday life in the Netherlands, get out of town. In postcard-perfect Dutch villages like Edam, you can mellow out like a hunk of aging cheese.
Business Profile Index Five things you should never say during a job interview
Retire Smart: vs. managed funds By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services
“W
hat does your fund manager do?” screamed the headline of the April 8 edition of Barron’s. All I could think was, “What, indeed!” The article says some superstar fund managers “fly around the world, they crunch reams of data, they dissect industries” - and, for good measure, ultimately beat the index against which their funds are measured. Here’s the problem: Even if there are some diamonds in the rough (and believe me, it’s rough out there in managed mutual fund land!), it may not even be worth trying. The reason is that it is very difficult to beat the index after factoring in costs and fees. A recent survey by the London investment firm Style Research analyzed 425 global equity funds versus the MSCI World index. Without fees, 59 percent of the managers beat the index. However, after investor fees were included, only 31 percent beat the index last year. And it gets harder to beat year after year, because investors tend to pile into the good funds only after they have beaten their relative indexes. Once new money flows into these funds, costs tend to rise and the funds can get too large and cumbersome for the manager, which together make outperformance more difficult to achieve in the future. There has been some good news on fees. According to the Investment Company Institute, mutual fund fees have been trending lower. The average expense ratios for equity funds have fallen from 0.99 percent in 1990 to 0.79 percent in 2011, a 20 percent decline. But a good chunk of that decrease may be attributable to the shift toward no-load (no commission) funds. Actively managed equity funds still have average fees of 0.93 percent, while index equity funds have average fees of 0.13 percent. How do you find the good ones? It will take some work. You will need to identify active investment managers with a proven track record who can consistently stick to an articulated and prudent strategy. You will also want to look for a fund with low investment costs
and administrative and advisory fees; also watch out for costs due to portfolio turnover, commissions and execution. If you prefer to spend your time in other ways and want to make your investment life a little easier, there’s a simple solution. Instead of trying to beat the index, just buy the index! Last month, index fund pioneer Vanguard issued a research report comparing index versus managed funds and noted “persistence of performance among past [managed fund] winners is no more predictable than a flip of a coin ... low-cost index funds have displayed a greater probability of outperforming higher-cost actively managed funds.” Index funds have been around since the early 1970s, but suffered from a definitive “un-cool” status for a long time. It was much more fun to think that some manager held the keys to the investment kingdom than to imagine that all you needed was a few index funds in different asset classes. And there was no massive brokerage sales force and marketing campaign blazing the trail for the stodgy index fund. Of course, the commission-based broker who was touting managed mutual funds had a great incentive - only the expensive, loaded mutual funds would pay them. But in the aftermath of the financial crisis, boring has become more attractive. Many investors dumped their managed funds and decided that they would prefer to start the investing year with the extra 0.80 percent in their own pockets. According to fund-tracking firm Morningstar, assets in U.S. index mutual funds and exchangetraded funds (ETFs) accounted for 34 percent of equity and 18 percent of fixed income funds as of year-end 2012. My hope is to see those levels steadily rise, as do-it-yourself investors wise up or as investors who work with advisers choose feeonly or fee-based professionals who adhere to an indexing strategy.

Are you having trouble landing a job and you’re not sure why? The right skills and an impressive resume may get you an interview, but getting hired is another story. Experts say it’s all about presenting your character, personality, abilities and values in a positive, relatable light that is attractive to employers. “There’s no such thing as the perfect response to any question in a job interview,” says Andrea Kay, career columnist and consultant, and author of the new book, “This is How to Get Your Next Job: An Inside Look at What Employers Really Want,” (AMACOM). “But what you talk about in the interview could cost you the job offer if you aren’t careful. These are the top five things Kay says you should never talk about or say in a job interview: • Don’t talk about things you can’t back up. Before you state your claim to a quality that sets you apart, think it through. Just saying you’re a great team player or terrific problem solver doesn’t make it so, even if it’s true. Discuss where, how, and exactly what you did that made you so effective. Be ready to cite one or two examples of how you’ve done what you say you can do. • Never say “I have good people skills.”The words are so overused they mean nothing. Consider what it is you do that makes you effective when dealing with others.Are you good at working through difficult issues
21
with co-workers? Do you have a knack for writing and talking to customers in a way that explains things? Tell interviewers about that instead. • Never say“I just want to learn.”Employers aren`t in business to teach, but rather to deliver a service or product. An interview is an opportunity to show an employer how you can apply what you know to the business. So rather than focus solely on your eagerness to learn, tell an interviewer how you will use the skills you have begun to develop to solve problems. • Avoid too much personal information that has nothing to do with your qualifications. Don’t talk about why you need the job (even if you do have a hard-luck story about sick children or a spouse whose been laid off). Don’t talk about politics, religion or sexual preferences. When a person can’t leave personal issues at home, it makes an employer wonder: does he lack the necessary maturity and good judgment? Is her personal life such a wreck that she may not be dependable? • Don’t talk about irrelevant things that pop into your head. To be less impulsive, literally practice interviewing. Slow down, count to five, and give yourself a chance to consider how your comment will sound. More job search tips and information from Kay can be found at www.AndreaKay. com. If your search for employment has been frustrating, consider your interviewing technique. A few tweaks to your approach could mean a fantastic job offer.

Speak up if you want gratitude Q. No one seems to be noticing all the good work I have done. I am very good at my job, tackle the hard projects, and even help out when my coworkers are swamped. Do I just work for an unusually ungrateful organization? A. No, unless you make coworkers aware of what you do and require a certain level of appreciation, you almost certainly will not get it. Gratitude is a hallmark of high mental health. People who are emotionally well are spontaneously and keenly aware of gratitude pretty much 24 hours a day. They appreciate the extra work you do, the competency with which you do it, and even the fact you just made coffee. On the other end of the mental
health spectrum are people who wouldn’t appreciate it if you just saved their life and their job. In fact, these people might even get mad at you for not doing more. If you want an instant barometer of how emotionally well your coworkers are, simply pay attention to their capacity for appreciation.You’ll have a better assessment of their general mental health than most sophisticated psychological instruments. If you believe that just doing good work will result in workplace appreciation, you’ll be sorely disappointed. If gratitude is important to you, you will have to make what you are doing obvious to all. For instance, if you are giving your customers a break on fees, tell them and tell them more
than once. If you are staying late and missing your child’s soccer game, tell your coworker. If you had to rearrange your family’s vacation schedule, make sure your boss is crystal clear about the inconvenience. Going the extra mile once in awhile (and making sure people realize this is a blue-moon event) will get you gratitude. Being silent and long-suffering will just get you resentment. People simply are too busy at your workplace to slow down long enough to consider that you are doing them a favor. Most folks easily will take what you do for granted unless you are articulate and force them to be aware that you going out of your way for them. Most of us really don’t like feeling dependent, and when you help others at work, you bring up their dependency. You may be shocked to find others
may even have amnesia about all the times you helped them, but this is pretty normal. Being aware of being helped makes people feel weak. Of course, your problem isn’t helping other people avoid their issues with vulnerability. Your problem is getting a well deserved “thank you.” The only way you’ll consistently receive appreciation is to make people around you conscious of exactly what you have done for them. You can always be gracious about the favors you do. Letting your coworker, boss or customer know you think highly of them, and thus you are doing a favor, is effective. They will get to feel special and you will get to feel appreciation!
The last word(s) Q. People in my workplace seem increasingly irritable. Is it
something I’m doing? A. Probably not. The most effective theory for other people’s behavior is that it is never about you. You’ll see a lot more about your workplace if you don’t take everything personally.

Moving forward after a divorce Dear Dave, My divorce will be final in a month, and I’ll have $100,000 when everything is over. I will also have $8,000 in credit card debt, and I’m currently unemployed. Do you have any suggestions to help me move forward? Meryl Dear Meryl, The first thing I want you to do is raise your right hand and promise never to use credit cards again. Then, if you still have any of those awful things, I want you to cut them
up and close out the accounts. The next step is for you to find some kind of income, whether it’s a regular job or just something part-time to get money rolling in on a regular basis. Your credit card debt is a small part of your financial picture right now. I think I’d go ahead and pay off the cards. That way, you’ll be debt-free and still have $92,000 in the bank. But here’s the key. You have to live like that money doesn’t exist. Use just enough to get yourself settled, and go make some money so you can eat and
keep the lights on. A year from now, when you’re past some of this stuff emotionally and looking toward a new future, that money will still be sitting there. As long as you have this mentality, you’ll come through this mess stronger and in good financial shape. God bless you, Meryl! —Dave
Should she have skin in the game? Dear Dave, My daughter has the opportunity to take a trip with her eighth-grade class. The cost is $650. Do you think she
should have to contribute to the cost of the trip, or should I cover it all? Colleen Dear Colleen, This is a really good question. When it came to making these kinds of decisions at our house, we’d take a look at whether the kid was behaving, getting good grades and stuff like that. It can be a challenge at that age, I know. But if they were living like responsible young people, we would pay for this sort of thing as a reward. Still, at that age a kid should definitely have some skin in game. If you can pay for this without breaking the
bank, and she’s fulfilling her responsibilities as a good kid, it would be a good idea to make her come up with her own spending money for the trip. You don’t want her to grow a sense of entitlement, and doing this would force her to work and save a little bit to make this thing happen! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

Lipinski’s Cybersecurity Enhancement Act passes U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (IL-3) announced that the House has overwhelmingly passed the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2013 (H.R. 756) by a vote of 402-16. This bipartisan bill, introduced by Rep. Lipinski and Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX), will increase the security of federal networks and information systems, improve the transfer of cybersecurity technologies to the marketplace, train a cybersecurity workforce, and coordinate and prioritize federal cybersecurity research and development efforts. This legislation, which passed the House twice in previous Congresses, will: · Improve coordination in government, providing for a strategic plan to assess the cybersecurity risk and guide the overall direction of federal cyber research and development. · Update the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) responsibilities to develop security standards to harden our federal networks and
processes for agencies to follow. · Establish a federaluniversity-private-sector task force to coordinate research and development, improve training of cyber professionals. · Continue muchneeded cybersecurity research and development programs at the National Science Foundation and NIST. “All three times this legislation has passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, which is a testament to the importance of the bill and to the quality of work that has gone into it,” Rep. Lipinski said.“Because of the rising threats and the fact that Mr. McCaul and I have worked hard to improve the chances of passage in the Senate, I am very hopeful that we will finally see this piece of the cybersecurity puzzle get put into place during this congress.”
