Lukancic thespians prepare to stage fall play ‘Multi-media story arc’ focuses on the children of the Holocaust It’s a tale of hope. And a tale of despair. It’s a tale of children learning how to survive. And a tale of children who didn’t.

When the curtain goes up Nov. 21-23 on Lukancic Middle School’s production of “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” (Finding Hope Through Children’s Eyes), it will be the culmination of an intense “collaborative effort” never before seen on a Valley View School District 365U stage.

Based on a book by Celeste Raspanti, the “multi-media story arc” focuses on the children

of the Holocaust and includes a one-act depiction of one moment in time at the Terezin, Czecholsovakia concentration camp. Terezin was used by Nazis to imprison culturally important people and their children.

Despite horrible conditions in most areas of the camp (only 100 of the 15,000 children who went through the camp survived), Germany used better areas of the camp to fool invited media members into believing conditions were excellent.

The Lukancic production

begins with a series of short readings, poetry, music and a video from an actual survivor from Terezin. And it ends with several more readings and a finale that, according to codirectors Jessica Wisniewski and Dave Zucker, will be “created by the kids.”

“Our characters in the vignettes are real people,” Zucker said. “Then you meet specific characters in the play itself, spending time with them in this one moment.”

“It took us quite a while to put this together,” Wisniewski said, pointing out she and Zucker started planning for the production last summer. “But it has really come together quite naturally. We’re excited.”

“What happened at Terezin is tragic and, in one sense, our kids are really struggling with that,” Zucker added. “But they understand the importance of telling this story.”

“These musicians and writers and teachers at Terezin urged these children to put

their feelings into poetry and drawings. They survived by expressing themselves,” said Wisniewski. “We felt it was important for the audience, the cast, the crew to understand the scope of the experience through children’s eyes so we took the play and put it in the middle of readings that cover this time period.”

Both Zucker and Wisniewski are amazed at how the cast and crew have tackled their roles during rehearsal thus far.

“One of our favorite things through all this has been sharing our vision with the kids and turning them loose,” Zucker said, citing the technical crew in particular “for creating it better than I can dream it up.”

In fact, word is members of the cast have been doing some research on the people who wrote some of the poems from the production helping them to, as Wisniewski put it, “feel for the people who actually experienced this.”

“This is very serious material

but we’re trying to do it in such a way that it’s a tale of hope,” Wisniewski added. “You’re supposed to have fun with drama but at the same time, the kids know this is not a comedy.

It’s something they have taken very seriously.”

The curtain goes up at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 21-23 in the Lukancic auditorium, 725 Normantown Road in Romeoville. Tickets will be available at the door.

crossroad Continued from page 1 State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, recently had a bill passed aiming to cut some of the red tape holding back construction of a new Interstate 55 and Weber Road interchange.

“Weber road is the major corridor in our area, linking our communities and business hubs together,” said Manley. “As Will County grows, we need to make sure that this major roadway can handle our increased traffic flow so that residents aren’t burdened each day with unnecessary congestion, and so that businesses are able to succeed.”

The Will County Board first announced the project in June 2009, approving a Letter of Intent with the Illinois Department of Transportation for the improvement of the I-55, Weber Road Interchange located between Bolingbrook and Romeoville.

Will County funded the initial $6 million necessary to begin Phase I engineering, and the Illinois Department of Transportation agreed to be the lead agency.That first phase was expected to be complete by this summer, but has extended to early 2014, according to information from IDOT. The goal of the study is to identify transportation deficiencies, develop improvement alternatives,recommend preferred improvements, and identify and

THE BUGLE NOVEMBER 7, 2013 evaluate impacts of a preferred transportation improvement for I-55 at Weber Road.

The study area encompasses two miles of Weber Road starting at 119th Street, continuing south past and including the I-55 interchange to 135th Street.

“While Romeoville continues to attract top businesses to locate here and create jobs, the Weber Road Interchange continues to be a problem for growth in the area,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak.

“I am pleased that Representative Manley is advocating on our behalf to move this project forward.”

IDOT will host a public hearing on the proposed construction project from 4 to 7 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Romeoville Hall, 1050 West Romeo Road. Manley invites the public to attend and view exhibits and hear more about plans to reconfigure the interchange and widen Weber Road. Residents are encouraged to share their comments and input as well.

Phase II engineering, land acquisition, construction and engineering for this project is included in IDOT’s fiscal year 2014-2019 Multi-Modal Transportation Improvement Program but is contingent upon the sale of approximately 200 acres of unused property currently owned by the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Former state representative Brent Hassert worked to outline proceeds from the sale of the vacant Stateville Correctional Center property be used to fund the project. The sale of the

property has yet to materialize.

“Representative Manley’s legislation removing one of the final stalling points on the Weber Road Interchange project is a huge priority for Romeoville and the entire region, especially as we are working on initiatives to enhance our local economy

and bring in new businesses,” said Don Moran, Will County Board District 3 and Vice Chair of Will County’s Transportation Committee.“Weber Road at I-55 is one of the biggest transportation bottlenecks, and thankfully we will soon be one step closed to resolving it.”

Contingent on future funding for the completion of Phase II engineering as well as land acquisition and construction engineering, construction would first begin in the summer of 2015 and take 24 months. The total project cost has been estimated at $132 million.

IDOT to release Illiana RFQ, hosts outreach event Interested firms or project teams will be asked for a Statement of Qualifications that will be used to determine their eligibility The Illinois Department of Transportation will issue a Request for Qualifications on Friday, Nov. 8, seeking submission of qualifications by private industry partners to design, build, finance, maintain and operate the Illinois portion of the Illiana

Corridor utilizing an Availability Payment structure.

Interested firms or project teams will be asked for a Statement of Qualifications that will be used to determine their eligibility in the upcoming Public Private Partnership (P3)

process.

The Indiana portion of the project will be developed later under a separate P3 project with procurement by the Indiana FinanceAuthority and the Indiana Department of Transportation.

“We’re eager to begin the

We’re really proud to be offering this opportunity to small businesses in Illinois, and we’re excited to be using creative financing sources to get it done.”

- Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider procurement process on the Illiana, which will bring jobs, promote business growth and boost the economy in Illinois,” said Gov. Pat Quinn in a press release.

Private sector participation is being sought to spur innovation that will lead to delivery of the Illiana Corridor more quickly and efficiently, and at less cost, officials say.

To ensure coordination of the multi-state Illiana Corridor Project, IDOT and INDOT are working together to coordinate technical requirements, tolling policy, the federal environmental approval process, and construction schedules.

Following the release of the RFQ, IDOT will host an Outreach Event for Illinois Disadvantaged Business Enterprises and other industry firms interested in bidding on work for the project.

The event will be held Dec. 4, 2013, at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Conference Center in Joliet.

“The Illiana project is a wonderful opportunity for minority, disadvantaged and women-owned businesses in Illinois, which represent the

backbone of our economy,” said Quinn.“The forum is an important step toward connecting our small businesses, laborers, and engineers as they work together on improving our transportation system and fueling our state’s economy.”

The federally mandated DBE Program provides contracting opportunities to small businesses owned and managed by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.

“We’re really proud to be offering this opportunity to small businesses in Illinois, and we’re excited to be using creative financing sources to get it done,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider. “More work for Illinois businesses and employees, and less burden on Illinois taxpayers.”

For more information about the project and Outreach Event and how to register, visit www.

veterans working for veterans Romeoville’s American Legion Post 52 aiming to help the area’s homeless veterans

By Laura Katauskas Staff reporter

Veterans make up 15 percent of the Will County population.

However, research indicates that 50 percent are more than likely to become homeless.

In a continuing effort started in 2010, the American Legion 52 Post is out to change that with its plan to build veteran housing in the name of the Ray Holloway project.

“The American Legion is about veterans serving veterans, and what better way than offering a home to lend a hand to those that need it,” said Post Commander Christopher Benigno.

Romeoville’s American Legion Post 52 is not only

looking to build a home for its organization, but a home to those who sorely need it, aiming to help the area’s homeless veterans.

“For many, it is hard to transition back in after coming home from serving, especially if they have no support in their lives,” said Benigno. “We want to be able to help them transition into civilian life; who better to know what they are going through than a fellow veteran?”

Its latest fundraiser will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Nov. 9 at Stone City Saloon, Route 53 and Normantown Road. Blackhawks are on at 7 p.m. Organizers encourage residents to come out and watch the game and support

a good cause with 15 percent of all proceeds for dine-in or take-out being donated to the American Legion. Raffles and prize giveaways, including “Star Wars’” R2D2 will, be awarded.

In 2010, the post presented a concept plan for the Ray Holloway House, a facility for post activities, banquet use and perhaps most importantly, a future home to at least 10 or more that could accommodate a family of five.

The Ray Holloway home would serve as two entities housed under the same four walls.

All the amenities expected at a veteran’s post: bingo, fish fry, community meetings and banquet space for up to 500 would be offered.

At the same time, veterans who would call the place home would also be employed on site.

The legion hopes to provide services to the veterans that would balance self-sustainability, offering

advocacy, therapy and life, job skills training—tools aimed at breeding success.

To date, the group has raised more than $8,000 and recently received a $20,000 donation from Sam’s Club. The total project is estimated at $4.5 million.

The group also is meeting with various leaders to discuss rolling out a statewide campaign to raise funds and solicit additional corporate sponsors.

The facility would be named after former veteran and village clerk Ray Holloway, who passed away in 2010.

“Ray was great guy who wanted to do whatever he could to help people,” said Benigno. “We want to do this in his memory, helping carry on what he couldn’t finish.”

Anyone interested in donating can visit its website at www.americanlegion52. com or contact the legion at 815-823-3907.

‘Our Miss Brooks’ on stage at RHS November 8-10 Romeoville High School will perform the delightful comedy “Our Miss Brooks” Nov. 8 through Nov. 10 in the RHS Little Theatre.

The production focuses on teacher Miss Brooks as she discusses her dream vacation with the basketball coach and realizes the two may just be perfect for each other. Unfortunately, when she is tasked with sponsoring the Senior Play, Miss Brooks and the coach end up at each other’s throats. They have to fight over

gym space for practice and rehearsals, and the coach’s star athlete even gives up basketball to star in Miss Brooks’ play.

Meanwhile, the school board president is unhappy that Miss Brooks isn’t giving her daughter more attention; instead the focus is on sweet and talented Jane, who has some problems of her own when she develops a crush on the star basketball player.

Show times are 7 p.m. Nov. 8 and 9 and 2 p.m. Nov. 10. Tickets will be sold at the door for $7

Horoscopes Drive and determination can carry you far.

Getting organized and being efficient in the week ahead will get you even further. Make it your priority to complete assignments and meet deadlines.

Bake a cake. In the week ahead, you might be preoccupied by business and material matters. It might be a good idea to set aside some quality time to reconnect with your domestic, emotional side.

What seems feasible today could prove impossible by the end of the week; not all the facts are in and conditions may not be ripe. Use business know-how to handle finances with finesse.

In the week to come, stick to routines that have served you well in the past. If you cross all your “T’s” and dot all your “I’s” no one will need to take a red pencil to your work. Hold off making major purchases.

Put a lid on it.

Turn down the heat and don’t let frustrations boil over in the week ahead.

Family commitments may take up a great deal of your time or interfere with your ability to make career progress.

Take pride in careful analysis. To be successful in the week ahead, examine the facts and abide by the rules. Remember to handle your money as though it was all you were going to get.

Sometimes more is less.

In the week ahead, friends may urge you to dive right into a new project or accept a proposal that could prove costly. You’d be wise to take more time to look at all the angles.

Put down an anchor and remain close to shore. This is not a good week to set sail on a new journey or begin anything new. Your best bet is to ride out any pressing urge to make investments or life changes.

Get what you need and need what you get. In the upcoming week, you should be cautious about spending and conscientious about paying bills on time.

Daydreaming could be counterproductive.

Control freaks put on a show. In the upcoming week, you might find it difficult to make headway with your goals because someone else wants to run the show or inject much more than their two cents.

Set the alarm and don’t oversleep this week. Too much work and not enough play might make Jack a dull boy, but too much play can interfere with work. The boss might not overlook a black mark.

You can ride high on a bubble of inspiration in the week ahead, but don’t neglect mundane tasks.

People will be less forgiving than usual if you make mistakes or don’t hold up your end of a bargain.

Spartans come up just short in playoffs

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When the Romeoville football team left the field Friday night after their season-ending 1814 loss to Rich Central in the first round of the Class 6A state playoffs, they did so with their heads held high.

That is because not only are this year’s Spartans the first team to advance to the state playoffs in 11 years, they also did so following an 0-9 campaign a year ago.

“It was a great season, without a doubt,” said Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna.“Obviously we are all a little dejected right now because we honestly felt we could win this football game and I still feel we could have won the game.

Offense played well in the first half, defense picked it up in the second half.”

All of the game’s scoring came in the first half, as both defenses got stingy after the intermission.

The Spartans were able to move the ball, they just had a hard time cracking the red zone in the second half.

The game ended when Romeoville failed to convert a fourth-and-one from the Rich Central 27 yard line with 1 minute, 20 seconds left on the clock.

Valley View cross country seasons end at sectional

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

For the Bolingbrook girls cross country team, this season was all about progression, as it featured several young runners on the varsity squad.

So, when the team finished competing and they knew they had individuals who were in contention to advance to the state meet - that was a step in the right direction.

Freshman Trianna Rodriguez ran the Class 3A Hinsdale Central Sectional in 18 minutes, 25.68 seconds and placed 24th overall

in the race.

She finished seven places out of the final individual qualifying place, which went to Plainfield South’s Alexis Grigg, who ran the race in 18:13.15.

“I started off a little slower than usual,” Rodriguez.“I thought I was closer to 19th. I saw a lot of people in front of me and just tried to pass them.”

Raider sophomore Marissa Caputo was 40th overall in 18:51.12.

“This was hard with a lot of hills and tough competition, but it was kind of a motivator to have people in front of you to

have people to chase and know who you have to pass,” she said.

“It is hard to go out with a steady pace when you just want to give it your all. You have to be steady the whole race. I wanted to get a personal record and stay in the 18s and I did that. There is no better time to get the PR than in the sectional race. I am very happy with my performance.”

Romeoville’s season ends against WWS

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

The Spartans saw their season come to a close in the regional opener, falling to Wheaton Warrenville South 25-17, 25-5.

“It was sad to see (the season end), but the girls have worked hard all season and they see the changes,” said first-year coach Melissa Zimmer.

A new coach and a young team made it a rebuilding season for the Spartans.

“We learned more technique and a lot of the little things that coach taught us,” said junior Nicoletta Crowley. “We need to put that all together as a team.

Every year we are going to keep stepping it up and playing for success. We all got along. This team had good attitudes and good spirit.”

Although she is listed as a setter, Crowley plays whatever position she is asked.

“We all do whatever coach wants and whatever helps the team,” she said.

Zimmer is excited to have Crowley and a host of other returners back next season with a year of experience in her system under their belts.

“We all learned a lot this year,” she said. “We have a great idea of many things that we need to do for next year and there are several players willing to make the necessary changes and that is promising.”

BOLINGBROOK The Bolingbrook girls volleyball team battled injury all season and because of the rough start to the season, could not wait for the playoffs to begin.

“We had a slow start to the season with injuries and it was just a funky start to the season, so the girls were really, really wanting to get started on the right foot,” said Bolingbrook coach Andrea Bercot. “I told them that the beauty of the playoffs is that everyone is 0-0 and I think they were inspired to be able to start off the way they wanted to.”

The Raiders did just that, as they won the opening game of the IHSA Class 4A Bolingbrook Regional 25-18, 25-14 over Joliet Central.

“We had a great week of practice and we just had the right mindset coming in for this See SEASON, page 14

11 kills, while Megan Beilawski and Olivia Simpson had four apiece.

“Krissa finished her swings and we have been working with her and he whole team on just playing fearless,” Bercot said.

“They practice so hard and we

want to see them translate that hard work onto the floor. It was nice to see that they went out and wanted to take the win and not wait and see what would happen.”

Unfortunately the streak could not continue, as Bolingbrook fell

to eventual regional champions Waubonsie Valley 25-15, 32-30.

Waubonsie Valley defeated Wheaton Warrenville South 2516, 19-25, 25-17 for the win.

The 32-20 score in the final game was how the Raiders wanted to end the season,

whenever it had to end.

“The beauty and the curse of the playoffs is that every game could be your last,” Bercot said.

“We want to make sure that if it is our last, we leave it all out there on the floor.”

when we crossed midfield, we stalled a little bit. Coming down to the end, we had the ball, we marched it 80 yards and we gave ourselves a chance to win. Give them credit, they tightened up.

That was a good football team we played and a great football game. In these conditions both

teams played the best we could and unfortunately for us, they were four points better tonight.”

Kuna knows the experience and the way they performed in the playoff game will go a long way toward fueling the returning players for a return trip to the postseason.

“Being the first time in the playoffs, we were ready. We prepared, we played as hard as we could,” Kuna said. “It wasn’t like we came out here and we

were turning the ball over. We showed we belonged in the playoffs and we are going to be back in the playoffs. We have a lot of good things coming back.”

One of those returners, junior Gil Whitaker paced the offense, as he trucked through the mud on the all-grass surface for 170 yards and a touchdown. Senior Miguel Ford added the other Spartan score.

“I am really proud of this

team, “Whitaker said. “We came together since day one. Ever since the last game at the end of last year, we worked hard for this because we all wanted it.We wanted to make the playoffs and we went out and put it all on the line every week. After this game, we are going to jump right back in the weight room and do like we did last year and next year we will come out even harder.

Next time, we will do it right.”

Lewis men’s hoops upsets D-I Loyola Lewis University juniors Julian Lewis (Flossmoor, Ill./ Homewood-Flossmoor) and Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./ Riverside-Brookfield) keyed a 23-10 run over the final 6:46 to propel the visiting Flyers to the 82-70 victory over Loyola at

Gentile Arena on Saturday (Nov. 2) afternoon.

This is the Flyers’ third victory over a Division I team since 2010.

Lewis, who finished with a game-high 24 points, scored nine of his tallies over the final 2:56 of

regulation. He was 10-for-14 from the field and had a team-high eight rebounds and two blocks.

Jackson picked up 22 points, including a 12-for-14 outing from the free throw line, along with four steals and three assists.

For the game, Lewis shot 59.6%

(28-for-47) from field goal range.

Junior forward David Niggins (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central) knocked down 4-of-5 from three-point land to finish with 12 points, as the Flyers shot 64.3% (9-for-14) from beyond the arc.

“I’m proud of our team,” Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost said.“Julian was sensational.

Jack (Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./Riverside-Brookfield)) hit some big shots, as did David and Gabe (Willams).

“I’d like to thank (Loyola head coach) Porter Moser and Loyola for giving us this opportunity,” Trost continued.“We have a lot of work in front of us, but I like this team’s potential!”

Lewis also took care of the ball against Loyola, as they committed just 11 turnovers on the afternoon, including just three in the second half.

Loyola guard Joe Crisman led four Rambler players in doublefigures with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. Rambler forward Christian Thomas had 14 points, while Jeff White and Nick Osborne each added 12 points in the loss.

The Ramblers held a 60-59 lead over Lewis following a lay-up by Thomas at the 7:09 mark of the second half.The Flyers responded with a 12-2 run, led by five points from Jackson, over the next 3:17 to give Lewis the 71-62 advantage that they would not relinquish.

Styles set to clash in 8A second round

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When Bolingbrook and Marist meet up in Friday night’s Class 8A Round 2 match-up, something has to give.

The two teams could not be more opposite as the Redhawks rely on winning games by scoring at a video-game pace, averaging 42.3 points per game this season.

The Raiders are more methodical on offense, as they average 32.9 points per game, they just usually take time to get there.

“That is just the nature of our offense,” said Bolingbrook coach John Ivlow. “We see a different look each week and we get under center and feel them out and feel them out and then we make our adjustments and then we are usually pretty good.”

Marist will allow Bolingbrook to put points on the board, as it has allowed on average of 30.4 points per game through week one of the postseason.

The key to the game will be if the high-powered Marist offense can score on Bolingbrook’s stingy defense.

Arguably the top defense in the state, the Raiders allow only 6.7 points per game.

In their 48-12 win over Bloom Township in the playoff opener, the Trojans tallied both touchdowns against the Raider reserves, as the starters played only the first series after halftime.

The third quarter Bloom TD was the first points Bolingbrook has allowed in the third quarter this season.

The Raider defense forced four fumbles, recovering two.

Standout defensive back Parrker Westphal added an interception, all of which gave the offense great field position to score.

“We make plays and the offense capitalizes on that,” said defensive back Julian Huff.

Julian was the first of the three Huff brothers to make a big play in the game, as he opened the scoring in the first minute of the second quarter when he recovered a punt that hit the offensive lineman in the helmet and caromed to the five-yard line.

Huff secured it at the three and ran in for the score.

He would add two sacks and a forced fumble.

Brother Jacob Huff would help end the Bolingbrook scoring against the Bloom kicking game, as he blocked a punt with 9:13 left to play in the third quarter that was recovered by Joshua Collins and returned five-yards for the score.

It was Jacob’s second blocked kick of the year, tying Julian for team lead.

In between those scores, oldest brother Jaden had a 27-yard TD run and a 17-yard TD catch from Quincy Woods. Woods added a pair of 1-yard QB sneaks for scores, while Dariel Greer found Mike Valentine for a 33-yard score on the final play of the second quarter.

That TD pass capped off a 42-point second frame for Bolingbrook and put the running clock into effect for the second half.

All involved know the road will

Julian Huff forces a fumble in Bolingbrook’s win over Bloom in the first round of the playoffs.

be tougher against Marist.

“That is a great team coming to town here. It will be a great game. I hope everyone comes out to watch it,” Ivlow said.“They are your typical 8A football team.

They are big and solid, but we are used to playing against the physical teams. We are not very big, but we will go toe-to-toe with the big boys.”

Marist is paced by Notre Damebound receiver Nic Weishar and fellow receiver Flynn Nagel.

Quarterback Jack Donegan makes use of his receivers, while Peter Andreotti is the Redhawks’ leading rusher.

“We are excited,” Julian Huff said. “We watched their game (Friday night). I like their running back (Andreotti). He is fast and

they are physical on the offensive line. Nagel and (Weishar) and good players. A lot of their top guys play defense too, but they are all going to big schools.”

Huff said it will be another chance for the Bolingbrook defense to try and play an even better game.

“We have read all the articles and we have seen the videos and everyone says how good we are, but it is crazy to say, but we can get so much better. People just don’t know how much better we can get,” he said. “We do what we do because we have known each other for a while. People talk about how defenses play well because they have played together for a long time, but we have lived together for a long

time. We have known each other for a while and that is what makes this defense run.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Real Estate & Business

Effective managers deliver bad news with right words Q. I’ve been a manager for 15 years and am puzzled at how badly my employees take negative feedback. I attempt to diplomatically tell them when they are not team players or are rude or inappropriate, but they always end up offended. How do I deliver bad news without getting a bad reaction?

A.You can deliver bad news without a bad reaction if you avoid triggering shame in your employees. People at work feel personally attacked and confused if you use vague labels like “inappropriate.” People feel motivated to listen and change when they know exactly what behavior you want.

Without meaning to alienate others, we trigger shame when we use vague descriptions that imply a person is inadequate or

bad. Shame is different from guilt.When we feel shame we believe another person is making a judgment about our value as a human being. Guilt is remorse over something we have done and can do differently in the future.

If your employees believe you think something is basically wrong with who they are, they will become hostile and demoralized. Next time you provide an employee with feedback, make it clear that you both face a problem and tell them what you need to help with the solution. Make it crystal clear with the words you chose that the employee is not “the problem.”

For instance, if you need accurate reports on your budget, do not tell the employee that he needs to stop being sloppy

or careless.You are just using a negative label that will trigger shame. Instead tell the employee you need his help making sure there are zero math errors on the next budget.

Even well meaning managers get frustrated and use negative labels. Instead of calling employees rude, stubborn or lazy, consider the problem you need solved and the behavior you want. Focus on treating your employee as an ally in resolving the problem and be specific about what you want them to do.

You’ll be impressed at what magic specific requests will create.Very few employees get upset at being asked to arrive on time for a meeting. Every employee will be upset if instead you accuse them of being irresponsible, thoughtless and late.

Using the right words at the right time with the right

We take a job because we have to pay bills. But each of us hopes to find a workplace where we feel valuable and competent. person can seem like wizardry when you see the different results you get. I’ve seen teams go from being demoralized and conflict-drenched to cooperative, harmonious environments just because everyone stopped using language that triggers shame.

We take a job because we have to pay bills. But each of us hopes to find a workplace where we feel valuable and competent.

Despite what you learned as a kid, the magic word isn’t just “please”; the magic words include,“Can you help me do this?”

You won’t just transform your team if you change your language; you’ll encourage other managers to make similar

changes.When they see the magic you are working within your department, everyone will want to know your new trick!

Illinois EPA wants investigation at Citgo refinery Large fire Oct. 23 at Citgo’s refinery in nearby Lemont caused significant damage to the facility After a fire late last month, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is seeking an immediate injunctive court order compelling Citgo Petroleum Corporation to provide a root cause analysis

and various information for state review in hopes to avoid a similar situation.

A large fire Oct. 23 at Citgo’s refinery in nearby Lemont caused significant damage to the facility. According to

the Illinois EPA, Citgo employees or contractors were dismantling piping associated with the refinery’s crude unit for maintenance purposes when valves failed to operate properly, causing a release and

subsequent extensive fire,which burned for approximately two hours.

IEPA is now seeking a court injunction that would direct Citgo to perform a root cause analysis of the incident and submit it for state review; provide air monitoring data collected during the incident, calculations about the amount of crude release and

air emissions caused by the incident; a work plan to cleanup the site; and documentation showing all contacts between citizens and local officials about the incident.

IEPA will continue working with state and local officials and members of the community as the situation develops and determine if any environmental violations have occurred.

In German beer halls and beer gardens, drinks are served in huge liter glasses (called ein Mass). Men’s rooms often come with vomitoriums.

European beer basics

By Rick Steves Tribune Content Agency

When I’m far from home, I become a cultural chameleon. I eat and drink regional specialties with gusto, feasting on steak and red wine in Tuscany and stuffing down tapas at midnight in Spain.

So when I travel to countries that are known for their beer, I morph into the best beer aficionado I can be.

Germany is synonymous with beer, and there’s no better place to drink up than in Bavaria.

German beer is regulated by the Reinheitsgebot (Purity Decree) of 1516 - the oldest food and beverage law in the world - which dictates that only four ingredients may be used: malt, yeast, hops and water.

You can order your beer “helles” (light but not “lite”) or “dunkles” (dark). Beer gardens go back to the days when monks brewed their beer and were allowed to sell it directly to the public.

They stored their beer in cellars under courtyards kept cool by the shade of chestnut trees. Eventually, tables were set up, and these convivial eateries evolved.

My favorite beer garden (and German beer) is an hour’s drive outside of Munich at the Andechs Monastery. The stately church stands as it has for centuries,

LABOR Continued from page 1 under the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act.” In the letter signed by Walsh, union members are advised that if they strike, they are not eligible for unemployment compensation, cab be temporarily replaced with a new worker and “in some cases, you can lose your job forever if a permanent replacement is hired to do your job.”

They also are advised striking workers are not eligible to remain on the county’s group health plan.

They could, the letter continues, purchase COBRA coverage for $1,938.71 a month for family PPO

topping a hill at the foot of the Alps.

Its Baroque interior - and its beer hall - stir the soul and stoke the appetite. The hearty meals come in medieval proportions.

Belgians would argue that they, not their German neighbors, have Europe’s best beer.With about 120 varieties and 580 different brands - more than any other country locals take their beers as seriously as the French do their wines.

But the best beers are not available from a tap.The only way to offer so many excellent beers fresh is to serve them bottled.

The best varieties generally are available only by the bottle.

Belgian beers come in various colored ales, lagers and white (wheat) varieties and are generally yeastier and higher in alcohol content than beers in other countries. Lambics, popular in Brussels, are the least beer-like and taste more like a dry and bitter farmhouse cider.

Another Belgian specialty is the Trappist beer - heavily fermented, malty and brewed for centuries by monks between their vespers and matins.Try a Westmalle, Rochefort, Chimay or Orval.

Belgians are exacting consumers when it comes to beer. Most special local beers are served in a glass unique to that beer.

Connoisseurs insist that each

beer’s character comes out best in the proper glass. If a bar runs out of a specific glass, the bartender asks if you’ll accept a similar glass.

Many Belgians will switch beers rather than drink one from the wrong glass.

Another devout beer region is the Czech Republic. Czechs are among the world’s most enthusiastic beer drinkers.

Whether you’re in a restaurant or bar, a beer, or “pivo,” will land on your table upon the slightest hint to the waiter, and a new serving will automatically appear when the old glass is almost empty.

After the end of the Cold War, most former communist countries had lots of workers going to Western countries for jobs. But Czechs say their workers mostly stayed in the Czech Republic as they couldn’t imagine living in a place without their beloved local

brews.

And Czechs don’t go from bar to bar like many other Europeans.

They say, “In one night you must stay loyal to one woman and to one beer.”

The Czechs invented Pilsnerstyle lager in Plzen, and the result, Pilsner Urquell, is on tap in many pubs. Other good beers include Krusovice, Gambrinus, Staropramen and Kozel.

“Budweiser Budvar” is popular with Anheuser-Busch’s attorneys; Czech and American breweries for years disputed the name

“Budweiser.” The solution: Czech Budweiser brewed in the city of Ceske Budejovice is sold under its own name in Europe but marketed as “Czechvar” in the United States.

coverage.

Lastly, striking workers would not be able to accrue vacation, sick leave or any other benefits after missing one full pay period.

Walsh also provided phone numbers if employees had questions, and advice if employees who wanted to continue to work during the strike felt threatened trying to enter their workplace.

Walsh’s letter was a “transparent attempt to scare and intimidate” workers“by threatening to illegally fire employees in retaliation for exercising their legal right to strike,” union president Dave Delrose wrote in an open response to Walsh.

“The citizens of Will County are ill-served by your attempt to

provoke a strike,” Delrose told Walsh. “Rather than intimidate AFSCME Local 1028 members ... [y]ou would be better advised to direct the county’s negotiators to return to the bargaining table to reach a fair and equitable settlement.”

The union has asked the Illinois Labor Relations Board to hear the charges and “order Walsh to rescind the threatening letter, post notices acknowledging his illegal threats in county worksites, and return to the bargaining table.”

Bruce Tidwell, the county’s Human Resources Director, said recently they gave the union their “best and final offer after the county “moved significantly” since the beginning of negotiations,

offering step increases, as well as some salary increases.

And, he said, the county has lowered its offer on employee contributions to the health insurance plans,as well as allowing employees to phase in some of the increases.

County officials have said they have to start asking employees to pay more toward insurance because of the increasing cost of health care.

Until now, county employees had paid between 1 and 2 percent of their salaries, pre-tax, toward health care.

The county now wants employees to pay a percentage of the premium based on a salary scale: Those earning under

$30,000 would pay 4.7 percent toward their health insurance; $30,000 to $50,000 would pay 7.2 percent; and those earning over $50,000 would pay 13.2 percent toward their plan.

The union said additional charges were filed over the county’s refusal to continue goodfaith efforts to reach a settlement in long-running negotiations over a new union contract.

AFSCME represents more than 1,200 employees in the county court system, health department, highway department, Sunny Hill Nursing Home, county jail, and in the offices of the sheriff, coroner, recorder, assessor, clerk, chief judge, executive and state’s attorney.

Belgians are exacting consumers when it comes to beer. Most special local beers are served in a glass unique to that beer.
