Romeoville branch library reopens After months of renovation, the White Oak Library District seeks to enthrall its visitors

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

When the renovation of the Romeoville branch of the White Oak Library District began, Executive Director Scott Pointon claimed patrons wouldn’t recognize the building, hoping to completely change the way the library was viewed.

Mission accomplished—at least in the opinion of those checking out the facility for the first time Monday morning when it officially reopened.

“Wow, I think it is really super amazing,” said Sherri Pena, who brought her two boys to sign up for the summer reading program. “It is so open and so much nicer, kid-friendly and completely different!”

After months of renovation, the $10 million project is complete, nearly doubling

Work on the upper level began in January, creating a space for the children’s department that now rivals the playground.

in to the building to face a circulation desk and offices.

The entire layout of the building was changed, opening up the entire floor to space for library goers. Designed by PSA Dewberry, the library now provides light and spacious areas, complete with reading nooks and computer banks designed for both toddlers and older children.

Painted in bright, primary colors with splashes of detail throughout, the center of the children’s department is set off with a circular-dome ceiling with quotes inscribed from the likes of Walt Disney and Dr. Seuss, calling on the inspiration of childhood reading.

A story-time room flanked by wall-to ceiling windows, is decorated as an artist’s palette, a colorful, bright room for the library’s many programs.

“We wanted to let the outside world in and make this bright and airy,” said Pointon.

The design team played with the 70s architecture of the building, using its angles to create little spaces and nooks for toddlers to settle with a good book.

A “crown-jewel” for the library, says Pointon, is the new community room, which can accommodate 275 people,

twice as many as before the renovation.

An official ribbon cutting with Mayor John Noak and the Romeoville Chamber of Commerce will be held at 11 a.m., today.

Pointon said the project remained on budget and was delayed two months due to some unforeseen minor issues.

During the closure, patrons are asked to visit the Crest Hill Branch at 1298 Theodore Street, or the Lockport Branch, currently located in the Gaylord Building at 200 W. Eighth Street, Lockport.

For more information, contact the Crest Hill branch at 815-725-0234, the Lockport branch at 815-838-0755, or visit www.whiteoaklibrary.org.

In addition, the library district has selected The Lombard Company as the general contractor for the new Crest Hill building. A groundbreaking ceremony is expected for that project at 11 a.m. on June 12 at the site of the future library building located at 20670 Kubinski Drive, Crest Hill, just north of Menards.

The general contractor, the Frederick Quinn Corporation, has been selected for the renovations of the Lockport library. The addition for the Lockport project is hoped to begin within a month of the Crest Hill project’s start. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Crime rates dropping throughout Romeoville

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Reported crimes are down in Romeoville and, though residents should always be aware of their surroundings, Romeoville is a very safe place to be, say officials.

Police Chief Mark Turvey said the police department is consistently seeing a drop in incidents from three to four percent in its overall crime rate.

However, because there is so little crime in certain categories, a slight increase or decrease in any crime can skew the numbers.

Turvey said that, hands down, Romeoville is a safe place to live.

“We are definitely in a safe place—we do not see any violent crimes,”said Turvey.“The most we see are property crimes. It is safe

to walk the streets of Romeoville but you always have to be aware of your surroundings.”

The advent of the police bike patrol, the Citizen Police Academy and new endeavors like the youth police academy go a long way toward getting out into the community, explained Turvey.

“We are doing good; it’s a good sign,” said Turvey. “As long as we don’t go up, we are doing our job and it has to do a lot with various efforts of the police department.

Crime is dictated by a variety of factors including the economy and demographics.”

“One of our philosophy is to get work closely with the community and get involved in many programs, be it DARE, Neighborhood Watch or the police academy,” said Turvey.

He also said the use of the CompStat program,

He reported that drug use was slightly up but he said you can either look at it as a negative or as a positive that the police department is catching it. In 2010, drug arrests numbered 183; in 2011 it reached 196.

While there are isolated reports of gang activity, Turvey said the trend is downward.

“Gangs are not going to go away, but activity is not increasing and we are doing a good job of enforcing our focus on certain areas of gang activity.

We can deter it.”

To sum it up,Turvey said, crime is everywhere but in the end,“we are a very safe community.” katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Crest Hill gains Diocese, loses chance at strip mall tax revenue

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Just two short months ago, Crest Hill had big plans for a Weber Road retail development.

A vacant, brand-new strip mall, boasting three buildings, four out lots and nine additional acres, was up for auction. In bank foreclosure, the property had the potential to bring in a commercial developer for its more than 43,000 square feet of retail space.

Instead, it will become the home of the Diocese of Joliet.

Diocese officials purchased the property last week, and will be moving from their longtime offices in Joliet during the upcoming year.The move comes despite month-long pleas from the mayors of both Joliet and Crest Hill for the Diocese to stay put.

The Diocese closed on the deal, purchasing a vacant strip mall at Weber Road and Division Street just before it was to hit the auction blocks.

Diocesan officials have said the move will allow them to consolidate offices with staff of the St. Charles Borromeo Pastoral Center in Romeoville, which was sold to Lewis University for use as classrooms and student housing. Sale of the pastoral center funded the purchase of the strip mall in Crest Hill.

But when mayors of both cities found out last month about the move, they both were less than thrilled. Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante said he wished the Diocese would have stayed in the city, perhaps relocating to existing locations at Rialto Center or the former campus of Silver Cross Hospital.

Diocese spokesperson Doug

Delaney said it was Bishop Conlon’s preference to stay in Joliet as well, but costs were “tremendous.” After a two-year search, the parcel in Crest Hill was offered at a price that would allow the Diocese to both purchase the site and build it out for what it sold its Romeoville space for. Delaney declined to comment on the final negotiated purchase price.

“In the Crest Hill deal, there was no net cost to the Diocese,” Delaney said. “In Joliet, it was going to be several million more.”

But for Soliman, who had planned to sell the strip mall to a commercial developer, the deal is more bitter than sweet.

A commercial development would mean the city could cash in on the tax revenues a potential developer would provide. But with the Diocese being a non-

profit, it would not be required to pay property taxes on the land. It is one of the few vacant sites left along the corridor.

“It’s hard to say, because you don’t know what would have gone there, but we roughly estimate the city will lose $100,000 a year in potential revenue.” Soliman said, adding that not just the city, but all the taxing bodies will suffer, including schools, libraries and township services. “We are all going to take a hit.”

Soliman said that just before the Diocese made its offer, the city had several developers interested and ready for the parcel to go up for auction.

“I had high hopes for the place,” Soliman said.“A Starbucks, an Olive Garden, a Portillos… it would’ve been great.”

Now, the city will depend on revenue from the sales taxes on

spending by Pastoral employees.

Church officials estimate some 90 employees will be relocated to Crest Hill, and future expansion could provide space to include the staff of Catholic Charities, also currently calling Joliet home.

“We’re going to spend millions in the local economy,” Delaney said.

The Diocese of Joliet , while named for its long-time home city, serves 750,000 Catholics in communities and parishes throughout seven counties. The new facility will be known as the Blanchette Catholic Center.

Bishop Romeo R. Blanchette was the second Bishop and a native of the Diocese of Joliet. No decision has been made regarding future uses of the Chancery, Tribunal and Catholic Charities buildings. sdauskurdas@buglenewspapers.com

Lewis Airport receives funding for runway repairs Lewis University Airport stands to receive grant funding to repair an aging runway thanks to legislative and local support.

Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3) announced that legislation he helped write and pass in February will provide funding for the badly needed resurfacing of a runway at Lewis University Airport. The resurfaced runway should help the airport attract more businesses to northern Will County and southwest Cook County, promoting regional job creation and economic growth.

The work is being paid for by a new $2.4 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration under the fouryear FAA reauthorization bill that Congressman Lipinski helped write.

“I’m very pleased to have helped provide this funding for Lewis University Airport so that it can continue to grow and attract new businesses and jobs to Romeoville, Lockport, and the surrounding communities,” Rep. Lipinski said. “This is an urgently needed step in building the airport’s potential as a magnet for economic growth. I’m going to continue working to ensure that the federal government recognizes the need to enhance capacity at Lewis University Airport and invest in its future.”

Lewis University Airport’s first runway dates to 1990 and must be reconstructed to continue accommodating the larger aircraft that use the airport now and will continue to do so as it grows.

“Lewis University Airport has a vital role to play as we work to attract more employers, which is why I’ve been working to assure its current and future health,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak, who serves as a member of the Joliet Regional Port District Board. “This grant is much needed and much appreciated, and I thank Rep. Lipinski for all his efforts on the airport’s behalf at the federal level.”

In an attempt to increase its stature as an executive corporate airport, bringing economic growth to the area, local politicians sought the help of the Federal Aviation Administration in November.

Congressman Lipinski brought the head of the FAA’s Airports Division to the airport to meet with numerous local officials and discuss plans

for the airport’s future and how it can stimulate further economic growth and job creation in nearby communities.The visit by Christa Fornarotto, the FAA’s Associate Administrator for Airports, was the first by such a high-level FAA official in memory.

Owned and operated by the Joliet Regional Port District,Lewis UniversityAirport accommodates 105,000 arrivals and departures annually. Its convenient location near three major interstate highways in a fast-growing area has attracted numerous Fortune 500 and other corporate aircraft users and makes it a key selling point for the region as it seeks to attract jobs.

Lewis University Airport would also like to pursue funding for an air traffic control tower, which the airport currently does not

have.

Each year, the airport plays host to the 100 sponsor, driver, and race team aircraft that are used in the two racing weeks run at Chicagoland Speedway. Other regional events supported by the airport include the National Hot Rod Drag Racing at Route 66 Raceway and the Western Open Golf Championship.

The Lewis University Airport is Will County’s only corporate airport. The Port District operates without the use of a tax levy. It has improved the facility by the use of Revenue Bonds and Municipal investment contributions, supplementing operating revenues collected from airport users/tenants.

Open Lens photography exhibit captures local, national talent

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

June has quickly become an important month for Gallery 7 Fine Art Photography.

Earlier this month, the downtown Joliet gallery, 116 N. Chicago St., Suite 102, celebrated its five-year anniversary. Now, the gallery is celebrating the talents of local and regional photographers in its exhibit, Open Lens.

Now in its third year, Open Lens showcases the 50 best submissions from photographers throughout the Midwest. On Saturday, a reception for the show recognized many of those local artists and awarded several

of them cash prizes.

Steven Mayer won best in show and received a $150 prize, Owen Murray won first place and received a $125 prize, Robert Nulph won second place and received a $100 prize, and Jim Bodkin won third place and received a $75 prize.

Just like Gallery 7, the annual exhibit has grown consistently throughout the years. “[Open Lens] is by far our biggest show of the year,” Gallery 7 member Richard Ainsworth said. “I’m not sure how it got to be June, but [Open Lens] has made it a busy month for us.”

The 5,000 square foot location started from a humble beginning inside the Rialto

Theatre. Originally part of an ambitious project to fill empty storefronts around the Theatre, Gallery 7 made up just one of four galleries in the Rialto Art District, Ainsworth said. After the University of St. Francis moved into the Rialto, the gallery moved to its current location.

In many ways, Open Lens has helped Gallery 7 grow into what it is today.

“It certainty has helped us,” Gallery 7 member Hank Erdmann said the Open Lens Exhibit.

Ainsworth, Erdmann, and fellow artists decided to direct their energies toward different types of exhibits a few years back.The goal of Open Lens was to attract local photographers

to the gallery and break the conventional judging standards that many photo competitions use.

“With Open Lens, we didn’t want that rigidity of other exhibits, Erdmann said. “We wanted a more open exhibit that was judged on a wider basis.”

In the process, the exhibit has attracted photographers from as far away as Connecticut and become a staple competition in the Chicago area. Ainsworth and Erdman, whom both have taught photography classes, used their connections in the area photography community to spread word of the exhibit in its first year.

“There is kind of a nice

little photo community in the Chicagoland area.Through those connections we get it spread around pretty good.”

Both Ainsworth and Erdmann are members of the Photographic Arts Society, a local photography club that has several of its members represented in the exhibit. Erdman teaches a class at the Morton Arboretum, who’s Morton Arboretum Photographic Society also has a number of photographers represented in the exhibit.

Open Lens runs through July 28. For more information about this or future events, visit www. galleryseven.net. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Lewis University students build homes, hope Brother Tom Dupre, FSC of Romeoville was among the Lewis University students, faculty and staff that recently completed their annual Habitat for Humanity trip.This year’s sixday adventure was in Cookeville, Tenn., where the 12 students along with Brother Tom Dupre, FSC, associate professor of math/ computer science and Steven Zlatic, director of University Ministry, helped at a Habitat for Humanity resale store as well as building a home.

“I think many students,through working with power tools and building a sub-floor, came away with a profound growth in confidence in themselves. Our evenings of sharing helped us all to connect with each other and discuss its connections to our faith and values,” commented Zlatic.

At the resale shop, the Lewis group built ladder racks, a wall and benches.They also prepared for the next part of their trip,

which was helping to build a home. The prep work included preparing poles and painting trim.

At the home, the group assembled the house’s subfloor and constructed a shed. They were preparing the home for a blitz build, a one-week complete house build by Habitat for Humanity volunteers. “Everyone gained many different skills throughout the week learning how to use power tools and learning how to build these things,” said Ryan Snow, a student leader of the trip. Kristen Yarka was the other student leader.

The group’s progress throughout the week impressed Snow, who is an Aviation Security major. He said, “At the beginning everyone was cautious or hesitant to jump in there and try something they had never done before. At the end of the week everyone was doing any and See LEWIS, page 27

Bishop BOOM BRINGS THE

Minooka senior leads All-Area team

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

After playing football from age six, Minooka’s Rick Bishop made a decision to call it quits after his junior year to focus on volleyball – a decision some questioned.

“I was always the tall kid that could go up and catch the ball,” said Bishop, a wide receiver growing up.

However, after Bishop posted 293 kills and 70 blocks to lead Minooka to a fourth-place finish in the state, he proved to Indian nation he made the right choice.

For his accomplishments, Bishop was named 2012 Voyager Media Boys Volleyball Player of the Year.

Bishop said early in his career, the award and the state place seemed far from a reality.

“My dad played church league rec volleyball and I went with him before I was in high school and then I went out freshman year and I was garbage and everyone knew it,” Bishop said.“I was really bad.”

Bishop played summer league in that summer and his future came together.

“Somewhere between freshman and sophomore year, I just started to put the ball down.” Bishop said.

“Something just clicked, I don’t know what happened. After that, everyone told me to play club so I had to quit football.”

13

Looking at his athletic career, Bishop decided if volleyball didn’t bring college offers, he would pick up his lost sports.

“After junior year of volleyball, I decided if I didn’t get offers, I would quit club and play basketball and football,” he said.

But then Lewis University came calling.

While the Romeoville-based Flyers are NCAA Division II in most sports, they are a Division-I national powerhouse in men’s volleyball.

This season, in fact, Lewis was the No. 3 seed in the NCAA Final Four and was eliminated by the USC, the top team in the country.

“I watched the games online and I couldn’t believe I am playing there next year,” Bishop said. “Hopefully, I will be playing on that court next year and hopefully starting.”

Bishop said he knows some of the players from high school and club, as well as playing with some of them in open gyms since signing with Lewis.

“It is a whole different game,”he said. “High school is competitive, but that is crazy.”

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 13 player and three-year s t a r t e r , compiled 295 kills, 203 digs and 53 blocks in his first season as an outside hitter for Maine South (he played libero his three previous varsity seasons). He’ll be playing volleyball for NCAA Division III powerhouse Carthage College. Scotty’s older brother, Teddy, led the Hawks to the 2006 state championship. “He’s really stepped it up,” said Maine South coach Gary Granell. “He’s a go-to guy; we counted on him for big points.”

NATHAN CELINSKI Celinski had 198 kills, 80 blocks and a .251 hitting percentage for Niles West.

“Nathan has been a key contributor this season,” Niles West coach Drew Roche said.“He can handle himself well in all facets of the game. With his contributions the team has compiled (more than) 20 wins. After two seasons on the varsity level, Nathan has left his mark in the Niles West record books.

DAVID COLDEA Maine East libero totaled 460 digs and 24 aces on the season. “ L a s t season as a junior David earned the starting Libero position in the first week of the season,” Maine East coach Jon Kulesza said.“David has been spectacular ever since. He was a CSL All-Conference player last year as a junior and has raised his level of play more this year. He has earned All-Tournament Honors at the Libertyville Invite the last two seasons and is now the school record holder in career and season digs.”

JONATHAN COLDEA The senior led the team with 540 assists and 33 aces, while

finishing second with 135 digs for Maine East.

“He can do most anything on a volleyball court,” Kulesza said. “He can pass, set, hit, block, dig, and serve. He is a truly complete player. However, his setting ability has carried our team to its current record. He gets everyone involved in the offense, yet recognizes who the hot hitter is and feeds him.”

BRIAN EDWARDS Joliet West senior totaled 220 kills, 108 blocks and 15 aces on the season.

“He is a senior middle hitter who has led us in blocks and kills the past two seasons,” Joliet West coach Jason Hermann said.“He has been on varsity the past three years and came second in those categories his sophomore year behind Bryan Saunders (now playing Division 1 at IPFW). Brian is an explosive player with great jumping ability and hits a slide like no-one else in our conference. He is a respected

and feared middle by many teams.

He is a great student as well. He is in the top ten percent in our school and received many senior recognitions for academics this year.”

MATT GARVEY G ra n e l l summed up the importance of Garvey’s play throughout the 2012 season this way for Maine South: “The worse we passed sometimes, the better he set,” he said. “He’s a good floor leader and distributes the ball well. He was our quarterback.”

Garvey amassed over 750 assists and added 164 digs and 57 blocks to go along with 45 aces.

MATT GUERRIERI W h i l e starters were injured around him, the Plainfield North senior setter continued to dish out assists, 722 of them this year, to go along with 44 aces for the regional champs.

THE BUGLE JUNE 21, 2012 “He is one of the best volleyball players I have ever coached in my six-year career,” North coach Kevin Vesper said. “He has unquestionably talented court awareness and leadership are qualities you can’t coach.”

“This year he worked hard rehabbing a torn ACL, missing the entire club season, in preparation for the his school season,” North coach Mark Wasik said. “In my opinion, he is one of the best setters, if not the best setter in the state this year. He will continue his collegiate career at Penn State University. Because of his size and power,I have used him as a hitter/setter in a 6-2 offense.

Beyond his playing capability, he has been a strong leader as one of our team captains, and is highly composed and always thinking as a setter should.”

CrackerJacks win 8-1 in Dernier’s debut In Bobby Dernier’s first game as Acting Manager and the CrackerJacks first game ever without Manager Vern Hasty in the dugout, the CrackerJacks cruised to another victory over the Chicago Zephyrs, 8-1.

The first pitcher to pick-up multiple wins for Will County this season did so in commanding fashion. Ben Gullo went seven and one third innings before the game was called due to rain, throwing just 102 pitches, and striking out five batters. Gullo had 76 strikes to only 26 balls.

For the sixth time this season, the CrackerJacks were able to score in the first inning. Center fielder Mitch Elliott drew a walk to lead-off and would eventually score on a sacrifice fly by shortstop Daniel Nevares.

Runners were on second and third, but Derek Brown grounded into a 4-3 play.

The bottom of the second inning really opened up for the CrackerJacks, as they managed to score four runs. Will County nearly worked through the entire line-up. Elliott continued

ALL-AREA Continued from page 16 and finished with 448 assists and 33 aces for the season.

“Matt has demonstrated leadership on and off the court this season,” Bolingbrook coach Andrea Bercot said. “He has put in the work year round and is one of the team’s most consistent players.

“His hard work has earned him a scholarship to DII school, Alderson-Broadus in West Virginia.”

CODY SWANSON Plainfield Central’s senior setter had 445 assists to go along with 88 blocks and 89 kills.

“As a senior captain and setter, Cody has a lot of control over the court,” Central coach Katie Prast said. “He likes to attack the ball and is aggressive at the net with dumps and blocks. His blocks help to get his teammates fired up.”

his excellent start to the season, picking up a two RBI double.

The lead was extended to 5-0 when designated hitter Shaun McGraw was up. Elliott scored when he was able to steal home, which allowed shortstop Daniel Nevares to advance to third base. Then, McGraw picked up a single that permitted Nevares to touch home.

Both teams tacked on a run in the fourth inning. The Zephyrs run came unearned when third baseman Ian O’Connor scored.

The CrackerJacks run came off another McGraw single that brought Elliott around to score.

The game went into a 15-minute delay in the fifth inning when lighting was spotted.

The CrackerJacks added another run in the bottom of the sixth inning when Nevares scored again, this time on a play that involved two errors.

The second error came when Nevares was heading back to third base and the pitcher Kyle Bender decided to throw it.

O’Connor was unable to snag the wild throw and Nevares was

able to score as the ball sailed into left field.

More assurance came in the seventh inning when first baseman Derek Brown had an RBI single with the bases loaded.

Second baseman Michael Vilardo scored on the hit.

Hasty is serving an indefinite suspension for an off field disagreement with an umpire after the CrackerJacks 15-14 loss to the DeKalb County Liners on June 11, 2012.

J.P. TULACKA

He had 321 kills for the season and sported a .567 kill percentage.

“He came out (for volleyball) his sophomore year (for the first time) and just wowed us,” said Van Eekeren.

“He’s absolutely an outstanding player.”

At 6-feet, 6-inches tall, Tulacka was a dominant middle blocker for Downers Grove North, d e s p i t e missing 10 games with an ankle sprain.

He will continue his career at Carthage College.

“He is one of the most dominate middle blockers in the state,” Wasik said. “In fact, I have not seen a more dominant middle than J.P. this year other than possibly, the middle from Glenbrook South.

“I experimented with J.P. as an outside hitter which is a testament of his versatility and overall skill as a defensive player.”

BOBBY WEHRLI Wehrli was a star basketball player for Benet—he’s going to walk on at Dayton—but he was just as much of a force on the volleyball court. With his exceptional leaping ability, the 6-5 Wehrli could pound down kills with the state’s best.

Slammers fall 3-1 The Slammers never got rolling offensively on Sunday afternoon and dropped their series opener 3-1 to the Traverse City Beach Bums at Silver Cross Field.

Like Saturday’s game, the scoring was underway early. In the top of the second, the Beach Bums secured a leadoff double from Chase Burch, and with one out, Sean Gusrang slapped an RBI single to make it 1-0. Joliet tied it up in the bottom of the inning when Erik Lis scored on a Kyle Maunus groundout with

LUKE WILIMITIS A Libero from Plainfield N o r t h , Wilimitis was the anchor of a strong defense, leading the team with 343 digs on the season.

“He is the type of player that is all over the floor and gets to balls that no one else can,” Vesper said. “It is amazing how Luke consistently keeps an offense going with the countless rally saving digs he makes. There are plays he makes on the floor that “wow’s” the crowd.”

Scott Taylor and Mike Sandrolini contributed

runners on the corners.

Traverse City jumped ahead in the third with runners on second and third with no outs.

Jose Vargas, who finished the game with two RBI, came to the plate and brought home Brian Heere from third on a sacrifice fly, making it 2-1.The Bums tacked on another three in the fifth inning on a run-scoring double by Vargas and a two-RBI single from Jeff Flagg.

Jacob Clem earned the win for the Beach Bums, throwing a complete game on just one run and five hits. Joliet’s Wander Alvino was stuck with the loss, surrendering five runs through six innings before Daniel Carela and Geoff Brown completed the effort.

Suite deal The Joliet Slammers announced a special “Sweet Suite” Deal for fans that will be good for any home game, excluding fireworks nights, Sunday through Wednesday for the remainder of the 2012 season.

For $450, fans will be treated to a 22-person luxury suite and delicious food from Levy Restaurants.

Lanstiak tabbed as Scholar-Athlete of the Year The Great Lakes Valley Conference announced on June 15 that Lewis University’s Zsofia Lanstiak (Budapest, Hungary/ Karinthy Frigyes Gimnazium) has been selected as the 2011-12 GLVC Women’s Tennis ScholarAthlete of the Year.

LEWIS Lanstiak, a sophomore psychology major, owns a 3.77 cumulative grade point average and was named to the 2012 Capital One Academic AllAmerica Division II Women’s At-Large Third Team earlier this month.

Athletically, Lanstiak was equally as dominant as she claimed 2012 GLVC Player of the Year honors and helped the Flyers win their first-ever GLVC Women’s Tennis championship and advance to the ‘Sweet 16’ of the NCAA Division II Women’s Tennis Championship.

She finished the season with a singles record of 36-2 and a combined doubles mark of 36-3, as the Flyers finished the campaign with a record of 24-3.

Following the year, Lanstiak was selected as the 2012 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Midwest Region ‘Player To Watch’ and was ranked No. 25 in the nation for singles play.

“I am so proud of Zsofi,” Lewis head women’s tennis coach Brett Bridel said. “She truly exemplifies what it means to be a student-athlete.

“To be able to perform at such a high level in both the classroom and the tennis court is truly a remarkable accomplishment.”

The league selects one studentathlete in each conference sport to be designated the GLVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

This award is based upon athletic accomplishments, both team and individual, and academic performance in the season upon which the award is based.

Each conference member has the opportunity to nominate one individual from its team for the award.

Nominees must have a cumulative grade point average which meets Academic AllAmerican standards (3.30), and freshmen and first-year transfers are not eligible for the award.

The voting is completed by each institution’s Faculty

Volleyball signs three Lewis University men’s volleyball head coach Dan Friend has announced three final additions to his 2013 recruiting class. Jacob Schmiegelt (Lombard, Ill./ Willowbrook), Bobby Walsh (Chicago, Ill./Mount Carmel) and Scott Fifer (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg) have agreed to join the reigning Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Champion Flyers.

“These three guys solidify a great class and it is really good for the community and our support here at Lewis that they are all Chicago natives,” Friend said.

Schmiegelt (6-6, 190, middle hitter) was named Chicago Sun-Times All-Area Third Team, Daily Herald All-Area and West Suburban Gold All-Conference as a senior. He had 325 kills, 125 digs and 49 blocks during his final year. He was chosen to attend the J. Kyle Braid

Athletic Leadership Conference following his sophomore year.

Schmiegelt was selected to the USA Men’s 2012 Junior A2 Program.

“Jacob is a very dynamic middle with great size,” Friend said. “He can close from pin-topin extremely well as a blocker and has a big hitting window for a setter. It will be rewarding to see Jacob develop his potential as he pushes for the available open spots.”

Walsh (6-8, 210, middle/ outside hitter) was named AllChicago Catholic League each of his first three seasons at Mount Carmel. In the classroom, he was named to the honor roll. Walsh played for Ultimate Volleyball Club and placed second at the Junior Olympics.

Like Schmiegelt, Walsh was also selected to the USA Men’s 2012 Junior A2 Program.

“I’m thrilled with the addition of Bobby,” Friend said. “He will bring size and athleticism to the middle position. He terminates See LEWIS, page 19

Wiffleball coming to suburbs

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

In recent years men’s softball leagues have taken off in the summer.

Next up, it might be wiffleball.

No, this isn’t your kids wiffleball, it is fastpitch wiffleball and it has already taken off on the east coast.

Now, former Bolingbrook Raider, Aurora University and Will County CrackerJack player Anthony Buonamici is looking to bring it to the Chicagoland area.

“This wiffleball league was an idea of mine, and now it is ready to go from a dream to a reality,” Buonamici said.“All of the fixings as far as field necessities as ready to go, and I have a rather large following. (There are) 40 to 50 guys alone that are close friends or baseball teammates of mine, and this does not include all of their friends. Anyone who is willing to participate can. We have kids who are 16 willing to play, as well as men in their 30s looking to get a piece of the action as well.“ The official website for the league is currently under construction but they are on Facebook at Facebook.com/ illinoiswiffleballleague.

The games are fast pitch with four to five guys on each team.

There are very specific rules for the game.

As Buonamici said, the equipment used to make the field, such as the backstop and strikezone, are unique as well, and it gives the game special characteristics.

The game has grown on the east coast and there are video clips of it on Youtube and by searching Google, where Buonamici got his idea from.

“What sparked this interest is a league on the east coast,” he said. “They go by the name of Golden Stick Wiffleball. They take wiffleball seriously, and they are the authority when it comes to having fun while being competitive at the same time in the game of wiffleball.

I reached out to their league president and we had talks of possibly having a midwest region be a part of their league, and opening up something really big to the Chicago suburbs, but their demands as far as fees per player were just set too high.

Those guys on the east coast are hungry for money.”

Those high fees are what made Buonamici decide to try and start it up himself.

“On my own, I can bring all the participants the game they love at the intensity they want, without imposing a large fee to do so,” he stated. “I may not see much money, but seeing the looks on these people’s faces is what I really want to gain out of this. There are a couple videos on Youtube through Golden Stick that can give you an idea of what I want this to turn into. Ultimately, I want to put wiffleball on the map, and I want upper Illinois to be the Mecca for that experience.”

Buonamici said his league will charge $45 per player, which includes registration fee and a Boombah jersey.

Mark Gregory/Bugle staff

Bolingbrook’s Anthony Buonamici is looking to bring a wiffleball league to the Chicago area.

Teams wishing to provide their own jerseys will pay only $15 per player, but the jersey must be approved by the league.

When all is said and done, Buonamici hopes that this is just the start of something special and something popular for

people to do in the summertime for the next several years.

“And at the end of the day, somewhere down the line several years from now, I want people to know where it all started,” Buonamici said.” Right here. And the people who were

there from day one are going to be able to say they were a part of something special.”

Real estate as retirement income

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

Is the real estate market a good investment for retirement?

I haven’t fielded that question in at least five years, but over the past six weeks, I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are reconsidering real estate as a source of steady income.

Let’s start with the numbers.

After experiencing a massive bubble from 2000-’06 (no, it’s not normal for prices to double over the course of seven years), real estate cratered.

Prices dropped almost 35 percent from peak levels, and in some areas, like Florida and Las Vegas, the damage was far worse.

Now, a full six years from the peak, recent housing data indicates that a bottoming process is occurring across the country. Existing home sales in April rose 3.4 percent from the

previous month to the highest level in almost two years and 10 percent above yearago levels. Adding to the case that the market is bottoming, inventory is down 20.6 percent from a year ago. In Econ 101, reduced inventory means less downward pressure on prices.

Similar results were seen in new home sales, which rose 3.3 percent from the previous month, almost 10 percent from year-ago levels and 25 percent from the lows. Still, there’s still a long way to go before we see a “normal” housing market. The total level of sales is historically weak and 2012 will probably be the third worst year on record after 2011 and 2010. However, historically low mortgage rates are helping the market by making the cost of ownership more affordable, assuming that the buyer can qualify.

Sensing this opportunity, many are wondering whether a jump into the rental market

can boost retirement savings and income. The answer is yes, with a few important caveats.

Buyers must have realistic expectations, starting with a long-term time horizon and recognition that the days of “flipping” a house to score a big profit are gone. In fact, in the early going, many properties may just break even.The goal is for the owner to be mortgagefree and to collect a steady stream of income.

Additionally, securing a mortgage for rental property has changed dramatically since the bubble years. “No money down” loans are nonexistent; today, lenders generally require a deposit of 30 percent. Even with that chunk of equity, mortgage rates for rental properties are higher than for owner-occupied residences.

One way to defray some of the cost of owning incomeproducing properties is to use their favorable tax treatment.

Great sleep tips for summer Summer’s here -- the sun is shining and it’s time to relax.

Drifting off to sleep when the heat and humidity kick in can actually be more difficult than it sounds, especially for people who don’t have air conditioning.

Maintaining a cool bedroom temperature is just one of many ways the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) recommends people can get a better night’s sleep. Here are a few other strategies from the NSF report “Recommendations for a Healthy Sleep”: • Make your day work for you: Morning exposure to sunlight, daily exercise and a consistent routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time will help program your body to wind down when it’s time to sleep. Calming activities, such as leisure reading, will also help you relax and ease the transition into deeper sleep.

• Create a sleep sanctuary: Dim the lights in the evening to tell your body bedtime is approaching and sleep in a dark room. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary from all the stresses of the day. Keep

it cool, quiet and free from distractions.

• While room lights, TV, computers and other electronics illuminate our worlds well beyond nightfall and give us the ability to stay active after dark, scientists are now contemplating how this prolonged exposure to light might interfere with our bodies’ naturally-programmed sleep patterns. In other words, computers, cell phones and work assignments should be

out of sight.

• Have a backup plan: Lessen the pressures of trying to fall asleep by selecting a calming activity that’s right for you. If you’re not sleepy, simply get out of bed and do something relaxing in dim light. Return to bed only when you are sleepy.

Talk to your doctor if sleeplessness persists: Sometimes lifestyle changes and behavioral approaches are not enough to correct the issue.

The Internal Revenue Service allows you to claim depreciation on your property over 27.5 years, which is a way to spread the cost of an asset over a period of time. Here’s how it works: You can offset a portion of your rental income by the cost basis of your rental property (what you paid for the property plus improvements, but not the land) divided by 27.5. While this is just one way to defray taxable income, note that depreciation is a way to defer taxation, not escape it.

The IRS imposes taxes on depreciation when you sell the property, which is known as “recapture.” You can defer recapture by using proceeds from the property to purchase a new one via a 1031 exchange but you must follow strict rules to comply. Additionally, if you own the property until death, your heirs will not be subject to recapture.

If the ability to create a

steady stream of income with favorable tax treatment seems too good to be true, it is. Being a landlord requires hard work.

No amount of screening will prevent you from encountering a horrible renter or a midnight call about some problem. If you don’t want to be involved at that level, you’ll have to hire a management company, which will obviously eat into your cash flow.

Finally, remember that real estate is an illiquid asset.

Be sure to have access to sufficient liquid assets before you become a landlord.

THE BUGLE JUNE 21, 2012

Real Estate & Business

Key to successful job hunt is tenacity Q. I’ve been unemployed for about a year and am ready to give up. Most jobs don’t even respond to my resume. When I do get an interview, I rarely get a call back and never get the job. What is the point of continuing to hit my head against the brick wall of constant rejection?

A.The point of continuing to put yourself in a position to get a job is that sooner or later you will land a new position. You are correct that the price is a high level of discomfort caused by your feelings of disappointment and rejection.

You have every emotional reason to feel like giving up.

However, if you stop trying, you’ll only guarantee you’ll definitely not get a job.

The upside of failure is that you have a chance to take new approaches you haven’t tried.

Perhaps one of your challenges is

that the way you are applying for jobs could be more efficient.

Job seekers sometimes don’t avail themselves of free government resources that can help them with everything from polishing resumes to identifying job leads.

Don’t overlook the tools available at your unemployment office and resources such as government WorkSource offices.

If you aren’t sure where to turn, do Internet searches in your area for free or government-sponsored services for people who are unemployed. And be willing to accept help.

Another mistake I see my unemployed clients make is

that they are embarrassed to tell everyone they know they are having trouble finding a job. The truth is most people feel like a hero if they can help you find a job. If you hide that you need help, you’re missing the critical resource of your community supporting your job search.

If you don’t have people you can talk to about being demoralized,put up a support group announcement at your unemployment office. Get a few people that you can meet with regularly and vent. You will feel more encouraged when you see other people suffering with the same challenges. You will also get good ideas from each other.

The good news in your situation is that you are actually getting interviews. Make sure when you go on interviews that you use a tool I call “Workplace Theater.” Do not, under any conditions, use the

Working versus learning Dear Dave, My son is a freshman in college.

Do you think he should work during his first year in school or focus all his attention on his classes?

Ben Dear Ben, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either direction during their first year of college. But as a parent, I’d urge you not to fall into the trap of thinking that a kid’s grades will go down if they work while in school. Research shows that kids who work while in college carry higher grade point averages than those who don’t.

To me, the reason for this is pretty simple. If you’re working and going to school at the same time, you have to learn how to manage your life and your time effectively. Lots of kids could pay their way through college, and not have to worry with student loans, if they just used the time they spend on social activities and watching television at a job.

I never required my kids to work during the school year. But they all have good work ethics, and they’re definitely not bums. During the summer, though, there was no such thing as sitting around. They had jobs. My youngest just finished his sophomore year, and he’s already started a job. Being a vegetable for the entire summer is useless, and we don’t do useless in our family.

But the philosophy of not wanting a kid to work so they can spend all their time studying is misguided. For the most part, kids who work while they’re in school will make better grades and develop into more mature and well-rounded individuals. And besides, if they’re working they can’t waste all their time playing beer pong!

—Dave

Hollywood dreams Dear Dave, I plan to move to Los Angeles to chase my dream of working in the television and film industry. I’m not married, have no kids, and I have $2,500 saved to live on until I can pick up a couple of jobs. I may have to finance a car, though. I’m not sure mine will survive the trip. Under these circumstances, how much of an emergency fund should I shoot for?

Cameron Dear Cameron, So, you’re looking at moving to California with $2,500 in your pocket, a car payment, and no job

waiting. This is a disaster waiting to happen, my friend. Don’t get me wrong. I want you to live your dream, but I don’t want it turning into a nightmare.

There’s no way I’d take a car payment to California. And you’re going to need a lot more than just $2,500, unless you have a job lined up. Even if there’s work waiting for you, $2,500 will disappear in about 20 minutes in Los Angeles.

Slow down and take your time.

Plan a trip to the coast and figure out what your living arrangements and expenses are going to look like first.Then, line up a job that will pay you enough to cover your expenses.

In the meantime, save up enough money to fix your car, or if it’s in really rough shape, to buy a good, used one.

Once all this is done, then you make the move—without a car payment. Moving when you’re broke with no job prospects and a car payment hanging around your neck is a recipe for disaster!

interview as a place to express your frustration. Instead, imagine you’ve been hired for a role in a play. The role is a successful job applicant. Now behave exactly as an actor would if he or she was going to get this job.

You won’t do yourself any favors by moping into interviews and acting like you expect this panel will also reject you. If you act well, no one evaluating you can read your mind. If you look demoralized, you’ll create a selffulfilling prophecy. The irony is that it won’t be your skill set that keeps you unemployed but the fact you’re acting dejected.

If you read biographies of most people who have reached exceptional goals in the workplace, you’ll notice one habit they all have in common: tenacity. Successful people cultivate the ability to withstand enormous amounts of

rejection while they keep taking the risk to get what they want.

To comfort yourself in the meantime, remember that once you have your new job, you won’t be focusing on all the jobs that turned you down. You will be grateful you didn’t drop out of the game, and will focus on thriving in your new company.

One of the most rewarding parts of the trip was to meet the homeowners. The students were able to interact with the family and understand how their work would impact them for many years. Zlatic said, “I think many were especially touched by the future homeowner Lisa and her wonderful daughters.”

The success of the trip was evident in many ways. Snow said, “Our goals were to serve the people of Cookeville, and in the process of doing this help everyone to see God within their work, the people of Cookeville, and themselves. I think we were successful with this. All the people of Cookeville we met were grateful for our work and

presence there. It also seemed to me that everyone that went had a powerful experience on the trip.”
