Its continued effort to serve the community has earned DuPage Township being named Township of the Year.

The township’s mission is to provide and educate its community to help those in need, while enhancing the quality of life for its members.

From youth golf camps to senior outings to breakfast with Santa to the operation of the food pantry, the township touches all aspects of community life. The township covers a variety of roles in the community beginning with general and emergency assistance, but it goes deeper than just a referral or a hand up. Programs like Tools for School delve into what students need, taking an initiative to make a difference in the youth of the community, pooling its resources to ensure more than 600 residents have the correct tools for school.

It’s about keeping a pulse on the needs of the time. As people continue to suffer from today’s economy with unemployment rates still high, the township is tasked with providing opportunities that help in all areas that unemployment inevitably touches. For the past seven years, the township has organized a job fair drawing nearly 1,000 people to meet one-on-one with nearly 50 different employers.

DuPage Township Supervisor Bill Mayer has said the problem is not going away and that the township wants to help solve it.

Mayer believes the goal of the township is to not throw money at the situation, but feels that hosting job fairs and offering housing counseling and other initiatives helps to get people back on track. The township has also hosted a number of budgeting and foreclosure prevention seminars

Every Thanksgiving, cars line up outside the food pantry at 719 Parkwood in Romeoville and are handed the fixings for a complete meal along with a gift card to a local grocery store.

Activities aren’t lost on the seniors of the area either, in fact the township operates out of the Joseph and Sarah Levy Center at 251 Canterbury Lane which serves as a senior center that offers recreation activities, group meetings and hosts senior clubs and trips. The Levy Center is available as a banquet facility during the seniors “off hours” to supplement the operational cost of the facility.

Historical Society seeks information for new book about romeoville Information needed about families and businesses in Hampton Park and Romeoville from the 1950s to the 1990s The Romeoville Area Historical Society would like information about families and businesses in Hampton Park and Romeoville from the 1950s to the 1990s for a sequel to Mabel Hrpcha’s book released last year.

Hrpcha’s book Romeoville covered the history of the town through the beginning of the Hampton Park development.

A short history of your family in this era could include, as appropriate: family history; where you came from, when the family moved here; children and their families; involvement in Village activities; positions on Village staff or Board; elected

or volunteer positions in the Village; activities with local organizations, schools and churches; family business; several family photographs, with each person identified.

The historical society believes memories of family activities and of village events would add insight into the daily life of Romeoville in that era. These memories can be written or listed in outline form. Businesses, churches, and organizations also be highlighted, with their history, location, activities, and photographs. Each family or agency will have from one to three pages of coverage in the book.

Provide the name, phone number, and email address of a contact in case more information is needed. Contact information will not be printed and will be kept confidential.

Group now will include state’s attorney, coroner from Will County By nick reiher

managing editor

nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews

U.S. Senator Mark Kirk, R-Ill. Added representation from Will County to his Anti-Heroin Task Force.

At the second meeting of the task force Dec. 29, Kirk said the group now will include state’s attorneys and coroners from Will, as well as from Cook, Lake, DuPage, McHenry, Kendall and Kane counties.

Will County Coroner Pat O’Neil said federal agencies such as the Drug Enforcement Administration have worked with the county on local programs such as the annual program and smaller events put on by Will County HELPS (Heroin Education Leads to Preventative Solutions).

O’Neil said that work likely helped get them a seat on Kirk’s task force, which he called a significant achievement for combating the heroin epidemic locally. He said raising awareness to the federal level now will help continue to reduce heroinrelated deaths even more.

Will County saw 53 heroinrelated deaths in 2012, he said, followed by a decrease to 38 in 2013. As of Dec. 30, O’Neil said, there were 34 reported in the county, with one more possible before the end of the year.

During the meeting, Kirk stressed the importance of making the naloxone nasal spray device, known as Narcan, accessible to first responders.

Since January 2014, the intranasal spray device was 100 percent successful in DuPage County, saving each of the 32 people the spray was used on.

The DuPage County Health Department pays $16 per unit for the intranasal naloxone, compared to nearly $290 for each unit of the naloxone autoinjector. Senator Kirk sent a letter to the FDA in October urging for the approval of intranasal

“Narcan is one easy solution to the heroin epidemic that is killing the communities of Illinois, making it imperative we all work together in pushing the FDA to make it available for all first responders. The longer the FDA makes us wait, the more lives we will lose as each day goes by ...”

Mark Kirk, R-Il. U.S. Senator naloxone to be marketed as soon as possible.

“Narcan is one easy solution to the heroin epidemic that is killing the communities of Illinois, making it imperative we all work together in pushing the FDA to make it available for all first responders,” Kirk said.

“The longer the FDA makes us wait, the more lives we will lose as each day goes by.”

Will County Executive Larry Walsh, whose office also has been a major force locally in addressing the heroin crisis, said the county’s inclusion on the task force is good news.

In July, the Will County Board approved using a federal grant to implement a Narcan program through the Will County Health Department.

“I applaud Senator Kirk and many of our other legislators at the state and federal levels who are addressing the serious issue of heroin abuse in our communities,” he said in a statement. “In Will County, we are continuing efforts to expand the Robert Crown heroin prevention curriculum in our

schools and implementing other life saving strategies in our fight against heroin.”

O’Neil said the county’s Narcan program will begin shortly, as Bolingbrook Police officers are trained in its use Jan. 7, followed soon after by Will County Sheriff’s personnel and hopefully many others. Use and training for administering Narcan is up to chiefs in the individual departments, he added.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said they expect to be implementing the program early in 2015 as well. He said they have to work out some issues, including where to store the Narcan when not in the squad cars for security and shelf-life concerns.

Kirk launched the task force in October 2014, which is cochaired by DuPage County Coroner Dr. Rich Jorgensen and Lake County State’s Attorney Mike Nerheim. The task force works with suburban counties and community members to fight the spread of heroin use in Illinois’ communities.

Another original member of the task force is Felicia Miceli, whose son Louie passed away from a heroin overdose in 2012 at the age of 24. She feels that if Narcan had been available to first responders, her son’s life may have had a different outcome.

Third at ClASSiC Spartans go 3-1 to place third at their own holiday tournament

By scott taylor SpoRTS EdIToR

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

It was a great home tournament for Romeoville at its Romeoville Christmas Classic after the holiday.

The Spartans went 3-1 in the tournament and claimed third place with a 51-38 win over Reavis Dec. 30.

“We talked about getting on the winning side of the column in this tournament and we accomplished that goal,” Howard said. “Now it is time to build on that and move into the second half of the season and see what we can do from

there. We’re looking forward to Oswego and Plainfield North.”

The lead was just 21-14 at the half after a sluggish opening half, but the Spartans turned up the intensity in the second half.

“We challenged the guys and told them we have been playing really good basketball in this tournament,” Howard said. “I thought we were a little down after coming so close to playing in the championship game.

They came with it in the second half. The guys sucked it up. 3-1 sounds better than 2-2.”

A big key to the success for Romeoville (5-6) is the height

lewis university

Flyers sweep Truman No. 2 Lewis women’s basketball matched the longest winning streak in program history on Sunday (Jan. 4) with a 93-57 victory at Truman State for the Flyers’ 13th straight victory.

In the contest, juniors Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./ Marian Catholic) and Mariyah Brawner-Henley (Skokie, Ill./Niles North) each passed the 1,000 career points plateau.

The duo scored their 1,000th career point at the same place Lewis head coach Lisa Carlsen did during her playing career.

The Flyers never trailed in the game, scoring the first six points of the game.

The Bulldogs cut the lead to three points at 17-14 with 13:02 remaining however Truman State couldn’t keep up with the fast paced Flyers.

Lewis took a 51-27 lead to the break, marking the third time this season Lewis has scored 50 points in the first half.

The visiting Flyers took their largest lead of the game at 39 points with 10:44 remaining (8142) on a pair of free throws by senior Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./ Bloomington Central Catholic).

Johnson finished with 18 points and six assists.

She was the first of the pair to hit 1,000 points thanks to a 3-pointer with 13:04 remaining. BrawnerHenley recorded 27 points, 21 rebounds, four assists, four steals, a block and no turnovers.

Her 1,000th point came on a free throw with 4:25 remaining. “(Mariyah and Jamie) are arguably the best post/guard combo in the league,” Lewis head coach Lisa Carlsen said. “It’s a great accomplishment for both of them but they have their sights set on bigger things as leaders of this team.”

Reinhart, who scored her 1,000th career point last season, recorded 18 points for the Flyers on Sunday.

Senior Kristin Itschner (Metamora, Ill./Peoria Notre Dame) added 15 points.

Lewis out-rebounded the defending GLVC Champion Bulldogs 54-35.

The Flyers made 25-of-34 free throws compared to Truman State’s 10-of-17 performance.

Lewis limited Truman State to 30.0 percent shooting (21-of-70).

The Flyers have limited 12-of13 opponents to sub 40.0 percent shooting.

MEN’S HOOPS The No. 23 Lewis University men’s basketball team held off a late surge by Truman State and claimed the 74-64 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over the host Bulldogs at Pershing Arena on Sunday (Jan. 4) afternoon.

With the victory, Lewis extends its winning streak to seven games and improves to 10-1 overall and 2-0 in GLVC action, while the host Bulldogs drop to 9-4 on the campaign and 1-2 in conference play. This is the first time since the 2003-04 campaign that Lewis has won its first two GLVC road contests.

Lewis senior guard Ryan Jackson (Bolingbrook, Ill./RiversideBrookfield) topped all scorers with 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting, while backcourt mate Jeff Jarosz (Lyons, Ill./Morton) added 14 points and seven rebounds.

Flyer freshman guard Max Strus (Hickory Hills, Ill./Stagg) pitched in 12 points, eight rebounds and a team-high four assists and two blocks in the win, while teammate Julian Lewis (Flossmoor, Ill./ Homewood-Flossmoor) tied a team-season high with 11 rebounds.

Truman State senior guard Seth Jackson led the Bulldogs with 18 points, while junior guard Cole Myers added 13 points, including three trifectas. Redshirt sophomore guard Cory Myers had 11 points, five assists and four rebounds in the loss.

Lewis enjoyed a sizeable advantage on the glass, as they outrebounded Truman State, 42-30, including 10 offensive rebounds that led to 14 second chance points for the Flyers.

The Flyers also dominated down low, partly due to Truman State’s 28 three-point attempts, with a 40-16 advantage in points in the paint.

The Flyers held a 52-26 lead over Truman State with 15:44 remaining in the second half, before the Bulldogs went on their run.

The Bulldogs outscored Lewis, 38-16, over the next 14:11 to narrow the Flyers’ advantage to 68-64 with 1:33 left in the game.

During that stretch, TSU hit six three-pointers and were led offensively by Jackson who scored

eight points.

That, however, was as close as the Bulldogs would get.

Forced to foul, Cory Myers sent Jackson to the free throw line for a 1-and-1, but not before TSU senior guard Reed Mells (9 assists) was whistled for a technical foul with 37 seconds left in the contest.

Jackson hit both of his technical free throws to extend Lewis’ lead to 70-64 and drained both ends of his 1-and-1 free throws to push the Flyers’ advantage to 72-64 and out of reach for Truman State.

Lewis head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost credited Truman State’s defense and their timely shooting down the stretch.

“We were up 26 and then their pressure bothered us,” Trost said.

“We panicked a little bit and they hit some huge three’s as well.”

Despite the huge run by Truman State, Trost believes his squad can benefit from the experience.

“We hung together, but we need to learn from this and be better the next time,” Trost said.

MEN’S volleyball No. 9 Lewis men’s volleyball opened the 2015 season on Friday (Jan. 2) evening at Neil Carey Arena with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-17) victory over Windsor in an exhibition contest.

The Flyers out-hit the Lancers .321 to -.031 with the help of a 15.5 to 3.0 blocking advantage.

Senior Greg Petty (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North) hit .545 with seven kills on 11 attempts. Senior Geoff Powell (Claremont, Calif./Claremont) added five kills with three aces and four block assists. Junior Bobby Walsh (Chicago, Ill./Mount Carmel) led Lewis with seven blocks (one solo). Sophomore Jacob Schmiegelt (Lombard, Ill./ Willowbrook) added six blocks of his own.

Both junior Scott Fifer (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg) and redshirt freshman Gert Lisha (Naperville, Ill./Naperville North) saw time at the setter position. Fifer recorded 13 assists while Lisha had eight.

The match featured just six ties and one lead change, which came in the second set. The Flyers won the match on a block by seniors James Hofmann (Cincinnati, Ohio/Archbishop McNicholas) and Eric Butch (Park Ridge, Ill./ Maine South).

Raider captain says team needs to play with emotion

By Mark Gregory

sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

photo by mark gregory

After going 2-2 at the McDipper, senior Prentiss Nixon said the Raiders need to play with more heart.

In a week that for the Bolingbrook boys basketball team was all about emotion, it is that exact thing that is lacking in the team’s play.

“It has been a broken record in the games that we have lost and to be perfectly honest, we have no heart right now, it is something we are lacking right now,” said senior guard Prentiss Nixon. “Everyone has to find that within themselves, we have to dig deep. It is nothing that you can come with and pull it out of your pocket and put it on for the game, it something you have and we need a way to find it.”

Nixon and the Raiders spent a tough four games at the McDipper Tournament at Rich South High School. The games were all played just days after former teammate Chad Cooke died unexpectedly playing a pick-up game at a local gym.

Bolingbrook went out and won the opener 59-50 over University High behind 16 points from Julian Torres, 13 from Prentiss Nixon and 10 from Dimitri Akenten.

Game two saw the Raiders jump out to a 23-8 advantage and coast to a 78-55 win over Leo. Nixon paced four in double figures with 22 points. Brodric Thomas added 15 points and six assists, while Torres and Akenten each had 12.

It was that game that the team came straight from Cooke’s memorial service to the game and played an inspired brand of

basketball.

“The day we went to Chad’s memorial and came and played, you could see the heart and fight in us. We went up big and kept it that way,” Nixon said. “The talent is there and it is just about how bad do we want it and right now, we don’t want it bad enough and that better change over the next few weeks and between me, coach (Rob) Brost and the other captains, we are going to make sure of it.”

In the semifinal game, the Raiders lost 66-53 to eventual champion Hales Franciscian behind contributions from Thomas (12 points), Zach Grady (11 points) and Akenten (10 points, seven rebounds).

In the third-place game, the second game in a row against a state-ranked foe, Bolingbrook was up 11 with three minutes to play and fell to Thornton 58-56.

Thomas tallied 17 points, while Torres had 12 points and five rebounds.

“We are playing with no heart and no will to win and we are losing by three or four points to really good teams, once we find it, we will be hard for people to play with,” Nixon said.

“Hopefully this burns in our mind and we play with a fire and rage all the way through. I know we can make a run, we just have to find it in ourselves to want to make it.”

Brost knows too, that the Raiders can get on track, it has to start soon.

“We have to figure it out. If we do, we can turn this around, if we don’t, it will be a long season,” he said.

12 classic | from page 11 that it played with in the tournament, inserting Armand Archibald (6-feet, 9-inches, 310 pounds) and Jason Sims (6-7, 305) into the rotation.

“Getting that size in the middle has helped us a lot,” Howard said. “We thought we had good perimeter play.

But having those two guys in the middle who can plug up the middle is what really has us competing and playing successful basketball in this tournament.”

T h ursday, January 8, 2015 | rom eovi llebug le.com “A lot of people have stepped up and we’ve had a lot of players come back,” Romeoville junior Matt Cappelletti said. “I think we’re going to keep going from here on out and get better and better.”

The Spartans opened the tournament with a win over Lincoln-Way West and then beat Lemont before falling to Oak Forest in the Small Division final. They then beat the Large Division runner-up Reavis.

“This was huge,” Cappelletti said. “We picked up some big wins against Lincoln-Way West

and Lemont. We had to grind it out. We came together as a family and we feel closer than ever now.”

“We think this is a great tournament,” Howard said. “It is improving every year and we are looking forward to building on the momentum. There has been a lot of tough games in the tournament and there are a lot of teams in that division playing good basketball.”

Freshman London Stamps, who scored 14 points against Reavis, and Cappelletti, who had 10, were named to the All-

Tournament Team.

“I feel better with my team,” Stamps said. “We’ve learned how to play with each other and pass the ball and everything.

We know each other’s role on the team.”

Downers Grove North went on to win the tournament title, besting Oak Forest 51-49 on a last second shot. Lincoln-Way West won the consolation title, running off three straight wins after its loss to the Spartans.

The tournament was a big boost to the confidence for the Spartans, who can now focus on

Southwest Prairie Conference play, where they were 1-2 heading into Tuesday’s tilt with Oswego.

“We’re excited,” Howard said.

“We think we can compete in this conference. We have size, quickness and now we have confidence. We think we’re going to be a problem for even the better teams in the conference. We’re ready. Our guys want the challenge.”

“I think we’re going to do good,” Stamps said. “We just have to be consistent with our defense and effort.”

What do you use Twitter for? i like to get the word out whenever we have a game and to let people know how we are doing. i also use it to get stuff off my chest. how often are you on Twitter? i’m probably on 2 or 3 times a week to see what is going on and for big social issues like the missouri situation and to help out people with school in some classes.

Who is your favorite person to follow? i always like the athletes motivation tweets and athlete facts because it lets you know how real it is. i also saw something that told you how to pick your team up after a loss, which is really helpful, being a captain of the team.

As it turns out, our brain Confucius once said, can’t multitask, but rather, “The man who chases it switches back and forth two rabbits, catches between activities, paying none,” or something like attention to only one at that. Multitasking is a bit a time – or in my case, like chasing two rabbits. eventually paying attention We set our sights on one to only one thing for an goal, then shift them to becker extended period of time. another while still trying sue Come To Order The New York Times to keep track of the first reports that, “While goal.

the technology that was supposed to make our lives easier. Phone, email and text messages help make sure we’re never caught up on our communications, and social media soaks up even more of our time. Our attention is being pulled in so many directions that we feel as though we have to multitask just to keep our heads above water.

Ever since my embarrassing phone fiasco, I’ve made a point not to multitask or to stop it as soon as I’m aware I’m doing it.

I’ve found that when my eyes as well as my brain are purposely focused on one thing at a time I feel less frazzled and more in control. Without trying to sound overbearing, I’d like to challenge you to stop whatever multitasking you engage in, just for a day, or even just for an hour, and let me know how it affects your productivity.

Some events have been canceled by Forest Preserve district due to lack of snow

By Stewart Warren staff reporter

stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren

It’s been a worthless winter for The Shovel Boys.

There hasn’t been much snow. And no snow means no money for Nick Pardo, the teenage entrepreneur from Plainfield. But that finally seems to be changing.

Four years ago, Nick, now 16 and a resident of the Heritage Meadows subdivision, started The Shovel Boys, a snow removal service, as a way to make more spending money.

“He wanted stuff that we would not buy him,” said Marlana Pardo, his mother.

After launching a web site and a Facebook page, Nick found regular customers and did particularly well during last winter’s record-setting snow season. But this winter has been wimpy.

“Last year, it snowed every other weekend,” Nick said on Saturday. “It is already January, and there is no snow.

I’m disappointed.” And he admits he’s just the tiniest bit broke.

There really was very little snow in December, said Eric Lenning, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Romeoville.

“We had a trace of snow -you can’t get much less than that,” Lenning said.

The smallest amount of snow measured by the National Weather Service is one-tenth of an inch, and there wasn’t even that much in December.

“It basically means there were flakes but nothing you could measure,” Lenning said.

Although the snow total didn’t set any records, it did tie old ones. In fact, since 1885, there have been just two other Decembers with only a trace of snow: 1889 and 1912, Lenning said. So it’s been 102 years since there was a December

with such a skimpy snowfall.

The month typically sees an average of eight inches of the fluffy white stuff.

While plenty of people probably are happy about the lack of snow – no snow means no hanging around outside in the cold, shoveling and salting while dreaming about snorkeling in the blue-green Caribbean – other people aren’t exactly overjoyed.

Like Nick, they’re missing the income.

Brad Hamilton, owner of Hamilton’s Small Engine Repair, 611 Joyce Road, Joliet, fixes snow blowers for homeowners and commercial salt spreaders and plow trucks for businesses. But he hasn’t done much of that kind of work lately. So he’s been fixing broken lawn mowers instead.

In a more typical winter, Hamilton’s customers use their equipment, and then something breaks. That brings him work. Not this year.

“Everyone is pretty quiet right now,” he said.

Of course, there are other positive points to a wimpy winter. Anyone who needs a new snow shovel or snow blower can probably find one to buy. At Shorewood Home and Auto, 1002 W. Jefferson St., Shorewood, everything is still in stock, said Marc Moyer, owner of the hardware store.

“We are not running out of anything yet. We are still waiting for the big push,” Moyer said.

At the Forest Preserve District of Will County, some events have been canceled because there wasn’t any snow, but many others weren’t, spokeswoman Cindy Cain said.

“It does affect some of our programs, mostly the sledding and snow shoeing,” she said.

“But of the 40 programs we are offering this quarter, only seven will be affected.”
