Promenade of Bolingbrook up for sale

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Beckoning shoppers from throughout the western suburbs, The Promenade of Bolingbrook, located off of Boughton Road and Interstate 355, is up for sale, placing itself in a unique market.

“We were informed that they would be selling, but who owns the center shouldn’t have any impact on the local tenants or the village,” said Village Attorney Jim Boan.

Owned by Forest City

Management Inc., the Promenade, the outdoor shopping center, is home to some 76 specialty retailers, Pro Bass Shops, iPic Theaters, various upscale restaurants and entertainment. The Macy’s store is not part of the sale, as it is a sub anchor and operated on its own property.

“Our strategic focus as a company is continuing to improve our balance sheet (property sales help us do that) and investing in new opportunities in a limited number of core markets,”

said Jeff Linton, Senior Vice President, Corporate Communication for Forest City Enterprises. “Bolingbrook is a fine market with good demographics. The mall has shown solid growth for us, and we’re confident it will continue to grow and be an important asset for the community under potential new ownership.”

Forest City has opted to sell the approximate 770,000 –square-foot property, listing it with Realtor Cushman and Wakefield Chicago as an

unpriced retail town center.

“There are few trophy assets like this on the market, and we expect a lot of investor interest,” said Evan Halkias, senior director of Cushman and Wakefield.

Halkias said the property is seen as a unique asset with a lot of value that has been trending positively the last few years.

“In the event that there is a sale to a new owner, it will be business as usual for our shoppers and guests.

While the property is being marketed to potential buyers, The Promenade will continue to grown and enhance

its exciting mix of sales promotions, family events, and shopping and dining options,” reported the management of The Promenade in a press release.

The retail center is 91 percent occupied, leaving added value in leasing space for potential buyers, suggesting an impressive net growth, said Halkias.

The property was opened in 2007 at a total cost of $152 million. Since then, a number of outparcels have been sold, said Linton.

The current asking price is yet to be determined and will be market driven, said Halkias.

MEMORIES Continued from page 1 more than a year in the making.

Collected from the society’s archives, the basements and boxes of local residents, some 228 vintage photos have been complied to show the history of Romeoville, marking its beginnings from Romeo Beach and New Avenue and tracing its path to the new modern village hall and the new Romeoville Athletic Event and Sport Center currently under construction.

Digging through stacks of photos and creating countless phone trees to gather more, Hackett, in the end, is impressed herself at how the book turned out and pleased with what she hopes will become a treasure for Romeoville natives and newcomers who “should know the history behind the place they live.”

“It’s all about memories,” said Hackett.“It’s for the people who lived here for years and for those who are just interested in history…I did say,‘Wow,’ when I saw it, especially knowing all the proofs we went through to make sure all was right.”

In painstaking effort, Hackett and a crew of four from the historical society chronicled Romeoville’s history in 10 chapters from its simple beginnings in the ‘50s, then known as Romeo in correlation to nearby Juliet, and a town built for railroad and later farming, stretching only a couple streets wide. Digging created Romeo Beach in Bruce’s Quarry near the I & M Canal, and the Island soon became home to Murphy’s Café, built by Neal Murphy who would become mayor for some 40 years.

It was under Murphy that the birth of Hampton Park came to be in the ‘60s, and the population boom of the ‘90s brought incredible growth to the residential and industrial sectors of town.

“These are the things that make Romeoville unique,” said Hackett.“Isle la Cache, Loven Oven, the Spangler House, White Fence Farm, now three colleges, we have it all in there—our history.’

Hackett said there are future book signings planned.Those interested in purchasing a copy for $21.99 can call 815-886-0273 or email historicalromeoville@yahoo. com.

Rare warbird to take flight at Lewis University

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

In an effort to make history come alive, the Experimental Aircraft Association is bringing one of World War II’s most iconic planes, a restored B-17G Flying Fortress “Aluminum Overcast,” for tours at Lewis University.

Plane and history enthusiasts will have an opportunity at what is called a historic flight experience Sept. 6 through Sept. 8. Hosted by the EAA Warbird Squadron 4, the B-17 Aluminum Overcast will make a tour stop at main terminal ramp at Lewis University.

The fully-restored B-17 has been traveling the world since 1994 and is called more than a plane, but also a traveling museum, offering an opportunity to witness first hand an important relic of history.

Aluminum Overcast carries the colors of the 398th Bomb Group of World War II, which

flew hundreds of missions over Nazi-held territory during the war. Aluminum Overcast commemorates B-17G #42102515, which was shot down on its 34th combat mission over Le Manior, France, on Aug. 13, 1944. Veterans of the 398th helped finance the bomber’s restoration.

The B-17 was donated to the Experimental Aircraft Association in 1983,and an extensive program of restoration and preservation was undertaken to ensure the Aluminum Overcast would be a living reminder of World War II aviation. The restoration took more than 10 years and countless hours of work by EAA staff and volunteers.

A ground tour will be offered, priced at $10 per adult and $20 per family.Active military,veterans and children 8 and under are free. Weather permitting, tours are scheduled from 2 to 5 p.m.

For those who want to take to

the air, flights are being offered.

You can pre-book a flight for $449 for non-members; EAA members, $409; walk-up flights are $475 for non-members; and $435 for EAA members.

The daily flight schedule is set for 10, 11, noon and 1 p.m.

The aircraft is one of only

13 Fortresses still flying and is an icon of the Allied strategic bombing effort that helped turn the tide of battle in World War II. The 65,000 lb. B-17 bomber carried soldiers who were bombardiers, navigators, and waist gunners and is regaled as one of World War II’s most vital

and magnificent aircrafts.

To book a flight or for more information, visit www.b17.org/ reserve or call 1-800-359-6217.

Proceeds from the tour fund the continued restoration, maintenance, and preservation efforts of the EAA and help keep the Aluminum Overcast flying.

Bolingbrook minority businesses helping each other

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

In an effort to help one another navigate the nuances of starting a business, the Minority Business Exchange was formed last year and is now seeking to expand.

Membership is free, and members of the MBE meet monthly to share ideas and opportunities that aid in developing, growing and sustaining local businesses.

The group speared from the Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce in 2012 but membership in the Chamber is not required to participate.

With at least 10 percent of Bolingbrook businesses minorityowned, group chairman Toni Greathouse said it is important to reach out to all minorities and encourage their input to foster the group’s mission of helping such businesses flourish.

The group’s goal is to help ethnic business owners gain access to contacts and information through every stage of business growth and development.

Greathouse said the group is expanding its offerings to include not only networking but real hands-on help in terms of business planning, targeting potential suppliers, securing funding sources and MBE certification.

“So often, we are focused on getting customers and selling, selling, that we don’t always think of the big picture,”said Greathouse.

“Others within the group just might be able to help give you a different perspective. We want to be a local source of support and help them realize what it takes to sustain a business.”

Greathouse explains that a disproportionate number of minority firms operate as sole proprietorships. For example, 82 percent of minority-owned firms are sole proprietorships, versus 71 percent for non-minority firms. To move to the next level, these firms must shift from a “100 percent CEO” model to a model incorporating strong managers who will provide the capabilities necessary for sufficient growth.

“To position minority businesses for dramatic growth, there is an urgent need to pursue more opportunities to employ innovative growth strategies (such as strategic alliances and partnerships) with corporations as well as government agencies,

which is what the chamber seeks to facilitate,” said Greathouse.

The next presentation at MBE meeting will be a presentation

by Accion Chicago. Accion is a small business lender, dedicated to providing financing and business education to small

businesses.

Future meetings plan to center on business planning and the group encourages input from

its members on what is most important to them.

2 Martinez students earn national honors for poetry TwoA.Vito Martinez 7th graders have been named semi-finalists and are under consideration for the Editor’s Choice Award in the American Library of Poetry’s student poetry contest.

The honor means poems written by Emily Hughes and Michelle Jacobo will be published in the organization’s “Discovered: 2013 Poetry Collection” along with poetry written by other students from across the country.

Hughes, an honor student, who calls herself “a bit of an overachiever” admits to having written an 11-page narrative in Amy O’Mara’s sixth grade language arts class last year when all of the other students were turning in two and three page papers.

“I’m nervous about finding out the final winners,” said Hughes, who hopes to be a journalist and an author of children’s stories someday. “At the same

time it’s very exciting because I made it to the semifinals which is an amazing accomplishment already.”

Hughes’ poem “Hope the Dog” was inspired by her American Bulldog named Hope who joined her family as a puppy around New Year’s last year and quickly grew into a dog who is “bigger than everything.”

Jacobo, who is also an honor student, is a member of the Martinez band and readily admits she wants to be a musician someday. Her poem “Piano” relates her memories as she progresses “from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Prelude and beyond” and all the “big improvement” in between.

“This is really special,” she said.

“I really didn’t expect it.”

“I knew when I read these, they were special,” said O’Mara as she recalled having the students in her classroom last year.“When the American Library of Poetry

‘Not gonna take it’

Will County union workers march for fair pay, benefits after year without contract

By Stewart Warren For Voyager Media

Kathy Henderson stood on her tip-toes, trying to get closer to the microphone.

The petite blonde couldn’t reach it. The podium was too tall.

She was feeling really nervous.

There were hundreds of people in front of her, many of them fellow members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 1028.

They had come late Thursday afternoon to the parking lot of the Will County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago St., Joliet, to protest the fact that they had spent the past year working without a contract.

Now it was time to address the crowd. Leaning forward, she began her story: For the past 10 years, Henderson has worked in the Will County Circuit Court Clerk’s office, handling legal files and helping the public. Despite a decade of service, she doesn’t make much money. Now county officials wanted to increase the cost of employees’ medical insurance despite the fact that

Will County AFSCME members led by Henry Bayer, former director of AFSCME Council No. 31, Dave Delrose AFSCME Local No. 1028 and Roberta Lynch, State AFSCME council, march to the Will County Building.

AFSCME workers hadn’t had a cost-of-living raise in four years.

“We do the hard, thankless jobs that make Will County work,” Henderson said.“I struggle every day to make ends meet.”

And then she made the crowd roar: “Our choice is clear: We either take what the county wants to

give us, or we can fight back,” Henderson said.

Wearing emerald-green T-shirts proclaiming, “Will County Strong – AFSCME 1028,” the group began gathering before 4:45 p.m. Thursday outside the Will County Courthouse, 14 W. Jefferson St., Joliet. Most of them carried matching signs declaring

their cause, and they chanted loudly while waiting for the march to begin at 5:30 p.m.

“Who are we?” a large man bellowed.

“We’re AFSCME!” “What do we want?” he screamed.

“A fair contract!”

When the Joliet police officers blocked traffic, they began marching through Chicago Street. The crowd was huge, yet orderly. At one point, the mass of people stretched from Jefferson Street north to the main branch of the Joliet Public Library.

“Hey, honk your horn!” they yelled to the drivers of cars idling nearby. And when one motorist made his horn blare, they all screamed.

When they arrived at the Will County Office Building, Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” was playing on a loudspeaker system as the AFSCME workers and their supporters gathered around the stage. Dave Delrose, the union’s local president and a counselor at the Will County Health Department, was the first to speak, explaining he would have to ad lib because his notes had disappeared somewhere on

New web resource for those in need

By Nick Reiher Managing Editor

When you’re overwhelmed and looking for help, the last thing you need is to be overwhelmed by how and where to look.

Representatives from Will County, health professional and dozens of social service agencies in Will and Grundy counties on Aug. 23 launched a new website, www.willfinduhelp.org, that serves as a one-stop shop for those seeking many different kinds of help and don’t know where to go.

Managed by Crisis Line of Will County, the website can serve as a search engine, where those in need can enter a word or phrase such as “seniors” or “mental health” and get a local listing of agencies available to help.

There is even a way to translate the information into one of dozens of languages, said Michele Batara, Crisis Line director.

“This website will offer another

avenue of sharing important information with our residents,” Batara said. “Our priority lies with assisting people who are in immediate crisis. This … will help us maintain a high level of personal service, while making other information available to our residents when they need it.”

The website was borne out of years of research by some 60 agencies in the community through the Will County MAPP (Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships). At the kickoff event, John Cicero, Will County Health Department director, said the county is required to update its resource plan every five years.

They found from a community survey several years ago that many people didn’t know what resources were available to them. Crisis Line may be most noted for suicide prevention, but the volunteers from the local agency in 2012 helped refer 50,000 callers with many types

of needs, including financial, medical substance abuse, shelter and food.

That has been the case since Crisis Line of Will County, which also serves Grundy, took its first call on Aug. 26, 1976, Batara said.

The tough economy drove many of those calls then as it does now, she added.

The website is set up to be interactive so that agencies can add themselves to the site, or update the information already on there. They can add calendars of upcoming events, and any other pertinent information to get out to the public. All entries will be screened before they are posted on the site to make sure they are accurate and appropriate.

Cicero said the website is the culmination of a lot of work by a lot of people. But he and others said they will continue to work to improve it toward the ultimate goal: “A better quality of life for our residents.”

Chicago Street.

“We are here to stand next to each other and say that any harm that is done to any one of us is done to all of us,” Delrose said.

He introduced the local leaders who were there, including Will County Board members Reed Bible, D-Plainfield, and Mark Ferry, D-Plainfield, and Joliet city councilmen Bob O’DeKirk and Larry Hug. Near the end of the rally, Joanne Crowder of Joliet, a registered nurse who works at Sunny Hill Nursing Home, spoke while Kahlia Crowder, her young daughter, stood at her side. The nursing home’s workers truly deserved more money, Crowder said. They cared for the county’s elderly residents, often reaching into their own pockets to buy necessities for them.

“The pay is so low that some of our employees qualify for public assistance, like food stamps,” Crowder said.

After the rally, Delrose said the union’s representatives were meeting Aug. 23 with a federal mediator and county leaders.

“This will hopefully be our kick-off for a fair settlement,” Delrose said.

Battery case continued as defendant needs new lawyer

By Suzanne Baker Enterprise reporter

Peter Steinys is looking for a new lawyer.

Steinys arrived for his rescheduled court day Monday to explain that his attorney Ragan Freitag is no longer with the law offices of Jeff Tomczak, the firm representing him in his battery trial.

The bench trial stems back to an incident involving a volunteer campaign worker prior to the November 2012 election, before Steinys was elected commissioner in the Plainfield Park District.

Steinys, who was elected to the Park Board in April, was charged with battery under the Plainfield village ordinance on Nov. 5 after an altercation with an opposing campaign worker on the eve of Election Day. His trial started July 9 in field court in Plainfield, but there was not enough time to finish the proceedings. The court continued

the trial at the county courthouse, but the date has since been moved multiple times.

And it will be continue once again.

Steinys arrived in court on Monday with Dan Rippy, another attorney from Tomczak’s law firm.

Rippy, however, had to recuse himself from representing Steinys because of a conflict of interest since Rippy is a Plainfield trustee.

Judge Joseph Polito gave Steinys until Sept. 10 to find a new representation. A status hearing is scheduled at 1 p.m. in Plainfield traffic court when all the parties once again will attempt to agree on a new continued trial date.

Michael Carlin, who accuses Steinys of striking him with a car door and grabbing him on the night of Nov. 5, said he is disgusted by the delays and does not understand why another attorney fromTomczak’s law office wasn’t assigned to represent Steinys for Monday’s court date.

“It’s just a little Plainfield

ordinance violation. What’s the big deal?” Carlin asked.

So far the judge has heard opening statements and testimony only from two of the prosecution’s witnesses, Carlin and Glen Marcum, both of whom worked on the state senate campaign of Jennifer BertinoTarrant, D-Shorewood.

Carlin testified he was the person who called police after he was hit by a car door and grabbed by Steinys, who was working on the senate campaign for Garret Peck.

Marcum said he arrived roughly the same time as police and he did not actually see the altercation, though was able to identify Steinys as the possible perpetrator based on Carlin’s description of the man and the car.

The defense maintains that Carlin was the aggressor in the incident, and Steinys was defending himself.

The prosecution is expected to call another campaign worker and two Plainfield police officers as witnesses. The defense is expected to call Steinys.

2nd man found guilty in Lois Place murder A Joliet man has been convicted of murder in connection with the shooting death of a man inside the Lois Place apartment complex in 2009.

A jury deliberated for roughly six hours before finding Jesus Zambrano, 23, guilty of one count of first-degree murder for the killing of Robert Gooch on May 22, 2009. The jury reached its verdict on Tuesday evening.

Another man, Pedro Sanchez, also of Joliet, already has been convicted of first-degree murder in connection with this shooting and is serving a 61-year prison sentence.

Zambrano faces between 35 and 75 years in prison when he is sentenced by Circuit Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak on Oct. 23. He is eligible for an enhanced sentence because the state proved he was armed with a firearm during the commission of this murder.

Zambrano and Sanchez confronted Gooch at the

apartment of Gooch’s girlfriend, Ellissa Hinton, according to trial testimony. Hinton testified she was having sex occasionally with Sanchez, but that she wouldn’t allow their relationship to go further by leaving Gooch.

Hinton testified she and Gooch had watched the NBA playoffs and had gone to bed on the night of the murder.

Later that evening, Gooch answered the apartment’s buzzer while she remained in the bedroom. She testified she heard Sanchez’s voice in the living room and someone saying “my girl” just before she heard a single gunshot.

She went to the living room to find Gooch lying on the floor bleeding from the head. An autopsy later revealed Gooch died from a gunshot wound to the back of the head.Gooch’s two young children were sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room at the time of the murder.

THE BUGLE AUGUST 29, 2013

SPC PREVIEW In what has typically been a balanced conference since its inception in 2006, the Southwest Prairie Conference has been dominated by Oswego the past two years.

The Panthers have gone undefeated in conference play the past two years and last year the only single digit game was against Plainfield North in the playoffs.Oswego has a sophomore quarterback in Steven Frank who played some last year and has high expectations.

Plainfield North has been a fairly consistent competitor in recent years and this year may be no different. While the Tigers are losing a great deal of talent,

especially quarterback Kurt Palandech, they seem to reload every year with talented athletes and strong line play.

Plainfield Central is in a similar boat to its district rival to the north. The Wildcats have to replace several key players, but the good news is that Mike Smiley returns at quarterback as the Wildcats hope to improve on their four conference wins of a year ago.

Minooka was over .500 last year in the conference despite losing both of its nonconference games.

With Morris and Providence again on the nonconference slate, another 4-3 SPC season might not be good enough for

Sports

the playoffs.

Plainfield South returns one of the state’s top recruits in linebacker Clifton Garrett. He won’t be alone on the defensive end and it will likely be that side of the ball that will have to lead the team early with a relatively new quarterback and skill players.

The Cougars have won at least three conference games since the SPC’s inception and have a good chance to do so again.

Oswego East has been a team that has underachieved in recent years. The Wolves are still looking for their first playoff appearance,despite facing a weak nonconference schedule. They will again have a good chance

to go 2-0 in their nonconference schedule, but will need to win three, probably four SPC games to make the playoffs.

Plainfield East is also looking for its first playoff berth. The Bengals have had some solid skill position players, but have struggled at times on the line of scrimmage.

Romeoville will have one of, if not the most experienced teams in the conference this year.

However, the Spartans have a lot of ground to make up after a winless season last year.

TAYLOR’S TAKE 1. Oswego –After a dominating

performance last year, it is hard to pick anyone else here, although I’d like to see one of our Voyager Media teams do so. The Panthers have some holes to fill, but so do all the teams at the top of the conference from last year.

2. Plainfield South – The Cougars aren’t as explosive offensively as they have been in recent years, but the defense should be improved and they have as good a chance as anyone to land in this spot.

3. Plainfield North – The Tigers have a tough SPC schedule with four road games, including trips to Minooka and See SPC, page 17

ROMEOVILLE SPARTANS OFFENSE

Injuries to the varsity quarterbacks last season may have had an impact on Romeoville’s 0-9 season a year ago and while that was disappointin, those injuries also forced then-sophomore Kelvin Jones to get varsity experience.

That will help him as he takes over the reigns of the Spartans this season.

Senior running back Miguel Ford will carry the ball a lot for Romeoville, as will power back Gil Whitaker.

When the Spartans go to the air, Jones will have a huge target to look for in 6-foot, 4-inch, 230 pound tight end Mickey Crnkovich.

Kuna calls him a prototypical tight end, saying he is as good of a blocker as a receiver.

The Spartans will have five solid receiver options, led by Chuck Hunter, who when not catching passes, he will defend them as defensive back.

DEFENSE The defense all starts up front with Division-I recruit Anthony Love at defensive end. The senior has turned heads and earned offers in the offseason, now it is his turn to shine.

Love will be joined on the line

by Caleb Purham, a converted linebacker.

SWSC BLUE PREVIEW It appears every season as if the S o u t h We s t Suburban C o n fe re n c e Blue Division is claimed by either Bolingbrook or LincolnWay East and that looks to be the case again this year.

Both teams will look different on offense, each losing a star quarterback to one Land of Lincoln Big Ten school, as Bolingbrook’s Aaron Bailey is at Illinois and the Griffins’ Tommy Fuessel to Northwestern.

Lincoln-Way East will again reload as it always does and be a contender for the SWSC Blue crown and another deep run in the post season.

Bolingbrook knows a little something about reloading itself and is ready to do just that.

With Bailey being plagued by injury a year ago, Quincy Woods got time at the quarterback position and while he may not resemble Bailey in size and stature, Woods proved he can get the job done on the field.

He will be joined by senior running back Jaden Huff, who is primed for a big season.

Defensively the Raiders are as good as always and feature defensive end Micah DewTredway, linebacker Tuf Borland and the best player in the league, defensive back Parrker Westphal.

After the top two teams, the next few are a crap shoot.

Homewood-Floosmoor has crept closer to the top two in the league over the last few years, but has a tough run to start the season, with Simeon and Stevenson before getting into conference play.

Seniors Bobby Krop (running back) and Seen Leland (quarterback) return at skill positions for Sandburg, but will they be enough to compete with the big dogs?

Joliet West is a team that every year has people waiting for a breakout season that has yet to arrive.

Senior quarterback Anthony DiNardo is back after an injury last season, but will he be able to stay healthy again and if he can, is that enough to earn the Tigers’ first winning season under coach Jason Aubrey.

Lockport is a team searching for

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Joliet Central will look to get their first win in program history this season.

an identity, as the one-time state power fell on hard times as of late, posting a 1-8 record a season ago.

The Porters return several key offensive pieces in hopes to take steps back to their winning ways.

Unlike Lockport, Joliet Central has an identity, but it is one it is desperate to shake, as the Steelmen have yet to win a game since the Joliet split in 2010.

Central has been getting better every season thus far and a win or two seems to be right around the corner.

While it has been a while since Stagg has been in the big school side of the conference, first year head coach Michael Fahey was the defensive coordinator when they last were and is familiar with the teams.

Unfortunately, that means he knows how hard his job will be to rebuild a team that posted three wins total the last two years.

MARK’S PICKS 1. Bolingbrook - The Raiders defense is just too much for a rebuilding Lincoln-Way East to contend with this season.

2. Lincoln-Way East - Finishing second is no slouch in this league, as it usually comes with only one

conference loss.

3. Homewood-Flossmoor The Vikings have slowly pulled away from Sandburg as the No. 3 team in the SWSC Blue, but have yet to reach the level of the top two teams.

4. Sandburg - They are ahead of the bottom half of the league at least for now.

Only time will tell if the Eagles move close to H-F or get caught by the teams below them.

5. Lockport - This spot is a toss-up between the Porters and Joliet West, but pride and tradition are on the side of Lockport.

6. Joliet West - The have the talent to be in the top five, or even four, but I drank the Kool-Aid the last few years and was let down.

While I won’t be surprised with a winning season, the Tigers have to earn me back.

7. Joliet Central - The Steelmen will get at least one win this season and I’m going to go on a limb and say two. While I’m looking at Stagg for one win, I think the Steelmen will pull off one other upset.

8. Stagg - Welcome to the Jungle Chargers.

This side of the SWSC is a little different than you are used to. mark@buglenewspapers.com

BOLINGBROOK RAIDERS OFFENSE

2013 Schedule

For the first time in three seasons, the Raiders will go to battle without Aaron Bailey at quarterback. Sure, junior Quincy Woods may not look like Bailey under center, but he will still be a productive weapon under center.Woods was able to get reps last season when Bailey was out with injury and got better every game.Woods has a productive arm and can run the football. As far as running the ball, Bolingbrook will return senior tailback Jaden Huff.

The senior is being recruited by several schools,including Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and Western Illinois. Bolingbrook also returns the bulk of an offensive line in front of Woods and Huff that were able to gain experience on the varsity level a year ago.The Raiders also get kicker Adam Klein back from injury this season. He connected on 80 percent of his extra points as a freshman on the state final game, including hitting bit PATs in the state quarterfinal contest against Naperville Central, which came down to converted extra points.

DEFENSE The defense is usually the anchor of the Bolingbrook team, and that looks to be the case again.

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Quincy Woods will take over at quarterback for the Raiders.

The Raiders return All-State caliber senior defensive back Parrker Westphal. Westphal has offers on the table from nearly two dozen college teams, including most of the Big Ten, Florida and Notre Dame. He will be joined by junior defensive end Micah Dew-Tredway and sophomore linebacker Tuf Borland, who started as a freshman last year.Also returning with varsity

experience are junior twins Julian and Jacob Huff. Julian is a returning linebacker, while Jacob will be at defensive back.

OVERALL In looking at the Raiders this season, they will again compete with Lincoln-Way East for a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division crown. While that is a good step in the right direction, Bolingbrook wants to erase last year’s second-round loss to Neuqua Valley. It was the Raiders’ third second-round exit in six seasons, sandwiched around their Class 8A state title in 2011. Bolingbrook will again face Valley View School District rival Romeoville in week 2.

That game starts a string of five straight games against opponents with losing records from a year ago.They then end the campaign with last season’s winning programs Homewood-Flossmoor, Lincoln-Way East and Sandburg.

“Our first goal is always to get our five wins and qualify for the playoffs,” Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow said. “The way the schedule works is great, we can get our five and qualify for the playoffs before those three and then they won’t matter as much.”

“We knew we were going to have a lot of guys back from last season to this season,” Kuna said. It was a matter of how they got themselves ready for this season and how they prepared and they did that.

“They worked at it and got

TOP TEAM Scott: Bolingbrook Synopsis: There is something about Bolingbrook that I really like this year. With Aaron Bailey gone, many people think the Raiders aren’t a state contender this year. However, Quincy Woods gained some experience last year when Bailey was hurt and that should pay off this year.

There is a lot of talent around him on offense. Meanwhile, the defense was young last year and should be much improved.

Mark: JCA Synopsis: Just like Bolingbrook, everyone is looking at who the Hillmen lost (ie Ty Issac) and not what they gained. Joliet Catholic is now back to their blue collar, lunchpail mentality of pounding the football and that has proven to be successful over the years. A tough ESCC schedule might not produce the best regular season record, but the battles will play off in the post season.

SURPRISE TEAM Scott: Plainfield South Synopsis: Some people may think Clifton Garrett is a oneman show for the Cougars.

However, that is not the case.

The Cougars have become consistently competitive and an off season last year was still good enough for a 4-5 record.

With a lot of attrition throughout the Southwest Prairie Conference, I think the Cougars could bring home six or seven wins this year. The defense looks solid and if the offense can improve a bit, South will be a tough out.

Mark: Minooka Synopsis: It is well documented that the Indians have a tough task to open the season with Morris, Providence and Oswego in their first three games.

Those battles, along with coach Paul Forsyth having a season under his belt, will have the Indians ready for a Southwest Prairie Conference that after Oswego is up for grabs.

Minooka should challenge for that second spot in the SPC and will be battle-tested in the playoffs.

TOP OFFENSIVE PLAYER Scott: Chris James, Notre Dame Synopsis: Everyone knows who is going to get the ball

sPorts

for the Dons, but that didn’t seem to matter. The highprofile Division-I recruit led our coverage area in rushing last year as a junior and it wouldn’t surprise mean to top his average per game from last year. I think there is enough balance there to take some pressure off him, and even if not, he will still produce.

Mark: Jack Beneventi, Benet Synopsis: Even though he lost practically his entire receiver corps from last year, Beneventi is too talented not to find someone to catch the football. Only a junior, the 6-6, 190 pound signal caller already has looks from more than a dozen schools, including Stanford, Michigan, USC, Notre Dame and Georgia.

TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYER Scott: Clifton Garrett, Plainfield South Synopsis: It is hard to go against the No. 59 recruit in the nation, according to ESPN. When you are being recruited by the likes of LSU, Florida and Tennessee, you are good. Garrett also got the experience of playing at “The Opening,” Nike’s

summer camp. He also has the motivation of playing well to keep his scholarship since he hasn’t committed yet.

Mark: Parrker Westphal, Bolingbrook Synopsis: I agree completely with Scott that Garrett will be a star this season, but I think he and Westphal are pretty much No.1 and No. 1-A in the area.

Ranked as the No. 17 defensive back in the nation by Rivals. com, Westphal may not generate the numbers as some of the top defenders, because as a topnotch corner back, teams don’t attack his side of the field.

Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow said Westphal took a step forward from last season, comparing his growth to that of Antonio Morrison between his junior and senior seasons. That right there should scare opposing offenses.

BREAKOUT PLAYER Scott: Anthony Love, Romeoville Synopsis: Love has spent time on varsity the past two years for the Spartans. A tight end as a sophomore, Love showcased his athleticism. He played on both sides of the ball last year

and has turned into a defensive player to watch. I expect to see a huge season from Love where he could end up with 100-plus tackles.

Mark: Tim Doll, Westmont Synopsis: A talented, multisport athlete, Doll now has the legendary Otto Zeman calling the plays.

Zeman coached six all-state quarterbacks in his 28 years at Riverside-Brookfield and Doll has all the talent to be No. 7.

SURPRISE PLAYER Scott: Shane Briscoe, Minooka Synopsis: Briscoe, a coach’s son, performed well in limited action with the Indians last year.

It is his team this year and I think he will make a name for himself.

Minooka had a down year last year in missing the playoffs and I think he is a big reason why they get back this year.

Mark: Brendan Reed, Lockport Synopsis: The 6-foot, 2-inch, 175 pound senior wide receiver will be the main target in the Porters’ passing game this season.

He returns along with quarterback Ryan Dalton, who was able to get a rapport with Reed all last season.

Adam’s Law fights back against distracted driving

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Cheryl Miller stood outside Bulita School where her son would have been a first-grader, wishing he could be attending.

Instead, she was sending an emotional plea for drivers to concentrate on the road and nothing else.

On Nov. 15, 2008, Bolingbrook resident John Miller parked his vehicle on the right-hand lane of Plainfield/Naperville Road after he experienced a flat tire. Not long after, a man who was attempting to light a cigar while driving, clearly distracted, plowed into the back of Miller’s vehicle, ultimately killing 5-year old Adam Miller in the process.

“Adam clearly had a lot to say and contribute, but never got the chance when a driver looked away and plowed into our car leaving Adam brain dead,” said Cheryl Miller. “Harder still, it wasn’t like a DUI that is punishable.

Distracted driving is treated like nothing more than a speeding ticket and dismissed with a shrug of the shoulders … Texting, dialing, multitasking … should not happen in the car. It is deadly and life altering.”

Turning grief into action, the Millers sought an outlet to both remember their son and bring awareness to distracted driving. Working with local legislators Adams

LAURA KATAUSKAS/STAFF REPORTER

Cheryl Miller urges drivers to concentrate on the road, sharing the story of her 5-year-old son Adam, killed by a distracted driver.

Law was created and a roadside memorial program created. It started as a pilot program a few years ago through collaboration from Cheryl Miller, state Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, and state Rep., Tom Cross, R-Oswego, and reintroduced by state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet.

Adam’s Law allows families to honor victims of distracted driving by placing markers along roadways. The makers must be ordered through IDOT, and the individual or group who places the order

are responsible for all costs associated with placing it.

Therefore, there is no cost to taxpayers.

Last week’s press conference came on the news that Adam’s Law, House Bill 1345 passed, re-enacting the Roadside Memorial Program which had expired in December 2012. The pilot program was temporary because the Illinois Department of Transportation was unsure of the demand.

Manley picked up the legislation finding IDOT was not opposed to making the program permanent.

“The goal of my legislation is to provide families with an appropriate venue for honoring their loved ones, while raising awareness about the dangers of distracted

driving,” said Manley.

Miller said she believes the law and the program calls attention to the problem, reminding drivers to put down the phone or hands off the radio or to even pull over if they are tired, which has been her ultimate goal.

“We can all do better. Shut the phone off. I see moms here today. Model safe driving to your kids. Teach new drivers, and share Adam’s story,” said Miller. “We are here today to celebrate Adam’s life, but boy do I wish I could be buying school supplies today.

Distracted driving is a proven killer. We hope to save lives with this.”

Other members of families victimized by distracted driving spoke; one whose mom was killed because a driver was painting her nails while driving 50 mph; another a daughter killed because a driver was busy on the phone.

The message was clear and simple: Just drive, and leave the distractions at home.

Otherwise, the consequences are deadly.

Real Estate & Business

Get the credit you deserve Can’t be too picky about bankruptcy Q. When my boss asks for ideas, I find I will often state a good idea, it will get talked over, and then someone says the same thing and takes the credit. Is there a way I diplomatically can point out that I said it first?

A. Yes, you can use your frustration strategically to point out after your teammate restates your idea that you said it first.

Many quiet, introverted people get accustomed at work to being run over verbally by louder colleagues.

I have clients who have ended up in self-destructive cycles where the more they withdraw, the more others trample them in meetings.

After a while, the members of your team will simply get used to ignoring you or interrupting you.You are going to need to retrain your coworkers if you want the cycle of getting talked over to stop.

Next time you start to articulate an idea and someone starts to talk, pause and neutrally

say,“I know you didn’t know I wasn’t finished.” Carefully watch your body language and tone of voice to be calm. If you say these words in an angry way, your coworkers will respond to feeling criticized and not to your request to finish your statements.

You’ve been storing up a lot frustration.When people finally speak up after experiencing a mountain of anger, they can easily bury coworkers in all that rage. Most people get scared and then enraged back when others express intense fury. Unfortunately, the point gets lost in all this exchange of emotion.

You’ll find that even when you have made sure to finish your statements, your group may still not hear what you said. If you find you’re still not getting credit, there are two explanations: 1.You are quite smart and, without knowing it, you are

talking over the heads of people on your team.You need to dumb down and simplify your idea so everyone can track what you’re saying.When your coworker repeats the idea, people respond because your coworker has simplified it.

2.You are stating your idea without appealing to the needs and agendas of your coworkers.

When your coworker repeats the idea he is restating your basic concept while making the idea attractive to everyone.

In your next meeting, pretend you are in an interpersonal lab trying out different approaches to experiment with results. If you try lots of different strategies and find you are still dismissed, then your group is simply accustomed to ignoring your ideas.

There is another powerful option that fixes the problem of losing credit to the coworker who repeats your good idea.

After your coworker finishes restating your idea, neutrally tag on,“Yes, I agree with (insert coworker’s name).As I said, a few minutes ago (restate what you said in the meeting).” Now expand on your good idea.

You won’t come across as huffy. Everyone will stop ignoring you and you’ll finally get the credit you are due.

Being mad about feeling victimized by people at work can feel gratifying in the short term. Feeling powerful because you changed to get what you want will bring you far more durable satisfaction.

Dear Dave, My husband and I would like to buy a home in the next year or so. My credit is in pretty bad shape, so we’ve decided to work on getting his credit in better shape in order to qualify for a mortgage loan. I have $104,000 in debt, and $92,000 of that is in student loans. He has $13,000 in debt, with $7,000 of that a repossession on a car for which he was a cosigner. Can I file bankruptcy on my debts only?

Latrell Dear Latrell, You can’t file bankruptcy on certain, specific items. By the way, student loans are not bankruptable. Even if you filed, you would still have all that debt hanging around your neck.

I want you to own a home, but I don’t want your home to own you. Neither one of you have done very well with money so far, and at this point I’m afraid a house would be a curse instead of a blessing in your lives. I would encourage you to build a stronger financial foundation before you buy a house. In short, this means you need to get out of debt, save money, and start living on a budget.

Latrell, buying a house when you’re broke and deeply in debt is never a good idea. I’m not

trying to be mean, but I really think you’re asking the wrong question. I don’t want you to try and use bankruptcy as some kind of escape from this situation. Right now, I want you to change your behavior with money and get things cleaned up with a good, organized financial plan in your lives.

—Dave

Ever-changing budget Dear Dave, Should a budget change every month?

Anonymous Dear Anonymous, Yes, it should.Your life changes every month, and your budget should reflect the ebb and flow of your life.

This is part of the reason I urge people to do a budget on paper, on purpose before the next month begins.You may look at the upcoming month and realize the kids have soccer pictures scheduled.There may be a school trip planned, or they may need back-to-school clothes and supplies.

When it comes to a budget, there’s no easy out.Things change from month to month, and you need to think, plan ahead, and itemize so your budget is an accurate reflection of your life!
