Christmas in July Heart Haven Outreach hosts annual fundraiser By laura katauskas staff reporter

Present time at the Chistmas in July event.

The spirit of Christmas and giving was in the air at the Heart Haven Outreach (H2O) fundraiser, where supporters came out to golf, dine and give a little back.

Golfers took the course for 18 holes and were treated to games along the way. The evening activities included a social hour sponsored

by Gordon Biersch, Nancy’s Pizza and Southern Wine. Guests were able to feast on the many fares of Bolingbrook like Eggs Inc., Olive Garden, Tailgaters Sports-Bar, Bar Louie, Ashbury’s, Longhorn Steak House, The Nest and Andy’s Frozen Custard.

“Christmas in July” would not be complete without presents. Patrons could bid on a plethora of baskets and participate in a silent auction to get their Christmas shopping done early.

All proceeds will go toward supporting the organization whose members have made it their mission to open their hearts, and give their time and resources to Bolingbrook and Romeoville teens. The group provides mentoring and support to those who may not find it anywhere else, organizers said.

Among other programs, support groups are offered every Tuesday. Peers meet to talk about their struggles and are facilitated by trained adult support group leaders.

The 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focuses on supporting teens experiencing challenges at school or in their home lives. The group was organized by community leaders in 2004, opened its doors in January 2005 at 201 Canterbury Lane in Bolingbrook and expanded to Romeoville in 2012, when a grant from the Community Foundation of Will County allowed it to purchase a 12-passenger van, eliminating the barrier of transportation for some.

H2O has been active with community partners, as well, working with the Valley View School District to create the alternativeto-suspension support group, an alternative for students committing 1- to 10-day in-school suspension offenses.

lord stanley

comes to town Area couple weds with cup nearby By laura katauskas staff reporter

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @RomeovilleBugle

It was a standing joke that the Chicago Blackhawks would have to win the Stanley Cup again in order for an area couple to marry.

Two years ago, Jim Anderson of Romeoville proposed to Jeanne Hansen at the Bolingbrook Golf Club in front of the Stanley Cup. When it was announced that Blackhawks Senior Director of Team Services Tony Ommen would bring the cup back, wedding plans for the pair kicked into high gear.

The couple shared wedding vows with their family and approximately 6,000 of their “closest” friends who lined up for hours for their chance to see the cup.

In a rush of excitement, the couple was married, took their photos, compared rings with Ommen and were off to start their life in wedded bliss, having been “blessed” by the Blackhawks.

Despite the rain, fans began lining up as early as 5 a.m. decked out in all their Blackhawks gear.

No one seemed to mind the wait, and people posed for their $20 pictures with the ultimate trophy.

All proceeds were split between two charities, Heart Haven Outreach and St. Baldrick’s Foundation for cancer research.

“It was just the right thing to do,” Ommen said. “It’s great to be here and be able to do this and have an opportunity at the same time to raise money for charity.”

Ommen,aresidentofBolingbrook since 1999, said he was glad to have the opportunity to bring the trophy to a community he is proud to call

Bride and Groom Jeanne Hansen and Jim Anderson with Blackhawks Senior Director of Team Services Tony Ommen show off their rings. home.

“We have a great following of fans, and they deserve to see the hardest trophy to win,” he said.

After the public viewing from 8:30-11:30 a.m., a special viewing was held for the Bolingbrook Police

and Fire departments, which Ommen said he wanted to allow time with the trophy for all they do in the community.

After that, it was on to a private gathering for Ommen and his family.

Molto Properties to annex 15 acres to village Proposal includes 226,000-square-foot warehouse Veteran company Molto Properties is looking to expand and is annexing additional property on the Normantown Road corridor.

The Romeoville Village Board approved the application for annexation, zoning and development by Normantown ECS, LLC (Molto Properties) for the property at 1881 W. Normantown Road.

This is Molto’s second building in Romeoville. In 2014, Molto built a 189,662-square-foot distribution facility at 1485 Normantown Road.

“We always welcome new development in our community, and we look forward to seeing Molto’s project progress,” Mayor John Noak said. “This is a great location, as it provides convenient access to [Interstate] 55.”

The proposal by Molto Properties includes the construction of a 226,000-square-foot warehouse building on approximately 15.4 acres. The new building will complement the existing buildings along the Normantown Road Corridor.

account for the current pension crisis the state is experiencing. How are they “ghost payrolls?”

When an employee with a public pension retires, the cost of some portion of their salary, up to 75 percent of their last year salary average, stays on the payroll as a pension cost. They’re not there anymore, but taxpayers continue Government transparency is to pay for them. In Illinois, that pension more than just a posted agenda, an burden has grown so immense that it open meeting and following the law. threatens jobs, economic growth and basic services because by law It’s an attitude that as an and the Illinois Constitution elected representative in a those pension costs must be representative republic, you paid, no matter what.

More than employees abuse not just transparency, a decade ago when creating a public pension was first mentioned trustees but logic and experience.

Take a look at the June and July regular asked for demonstrable proof that board meeting agendas. No member our current retirement plan wasn’t of the public could know by viewing working. None could be found, despite the agenda that the library board is 13 years of looking and asking. No moving to implement a new public retired employees came forward to pension. The agenda lists a change in complain about their retirement or bylaws, but makes no mention that the impoverishment because of it.

Every time we looked, and we took purpose is to implement a new public pension. It just talks about changing years examining the policy, we found some paragraphs. The agenda serves that it didn’t affect the quality of our to obscure, instead of reveal this major hiring, the quality of our work product or the financial health of our retired change.

That’s the opposite of transparency. employees.

Why transfer what’s been working so Even with a local reporter in the room, nothing’s been mentioned in the local well over to an unelected bureaucracy press. What about the public’s right to whose sole purpose is to collect whatever taxes are needed to pay know?

Since its founding, the Niles Public pensions that aren’t needed?

The move to implement a new public Library hasn’t had a pension. In its place, we’ve funded a generous salary pension at the library is triply bad: it’s and benefits package including a not necessary, you lose local control 401(k)-like retirement program. Not and it’s based on a radical ideology that having a public pension has spared is in direct conflict with reason and real local taxpayers the burden of paying life experience.

It’s ideologically driven government a portion of employee salaries for life. These “ghost payroll” employees that is causing so much destruction

in our modern society. We don’t elect representatives so they can go and do whatever they want. True representatives are supposed to do what we want. Now they cannot know each of our minds and hence must serve the general welfare, not their narrow personal political views. Doing that amounts to a petty tyranny.

If they were honest and felt good about their decisions then they’d be happy to make clear to the public what they were doing. But a new pension doesn’t make more materials available, doesn’t improve the customer experience and therefore it doesn’t improve anything for patrons and puts an enormous burden on working families and senior citizens. People already burdened with existing high taxes driven by the very same ideology on pensions. Keep in mind that these pensions started out promising to ‘save money’ and not be a burden. We know how that lie turned out.

Even if by any stretch of the imagination you believed that the library’s full-time staff deserves more money for retirement, we all already know that public pensions aren’t the way to go. Feel free to be as generous with the retirement match as you want.

Raise it up to 15, 20, 25 percent of their existing salary, but no more unfunded, open-ended liabilities forced on us by an unelected bureaucracy. Keep the local control and make certain it benefits the public welfare in general.

Isn’t that the whole reason we even hold elections in the first place? These people are supposed to be our friends and neighbors. Why are Niles library board members Linda Ryan, Karen Dimond, Barbara Nakinishi, Patti Rozanski and Tim Spadoni ignoring us – their friends and neighbors – and acting in such a secretive way? If you know them, ask them why they’re being so tricky.

Morgan Dubiel is the former president of the Niles Public Library Board. He served on the board for 13 years.

Valley View student hosts pet supply drive Supply drive inspired by summer program By laura katauskas staff reporter

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @RomeovilleBugle

With a love in his heart for animals and a class project centered on kindness, it was a no-brainer for fifth-grader Ayden (A.J.) Burnett to take matters into his own hands to help make a difference for shelter animals.

The “almost 10-year-old,”of Romeoville’s R.C. Hill Elementary School said it was all about Ding, Dong and Bodie — his pet cat and dog — who are both rescue animals.

He has been learning from the CritterKin Tale book study, “Lead with Your Heart,” by Jena Ball. The CritterKin program for summer learning experience has fourthand fifth-graders conversing with the author via Google Hangouts every week since the program began in June.

North Carolina-based Ball spends time with each class reading from her book “Lead With Your Heart,” discussing kindness and ways to show it every day, as well as building a “kindness quilt.”

The summer learning experience, in its fourth year, is going strong, according to Principal Loretta Furtute.

“I think we have seen really great progress and are turning out quite a few caring citizens in our community,” Furtute said.

She said a perfect example is when Burnett came to her to ask if he could host a pet supply drive because he wanted to help animals like the ones his family adopted.

She agreed, and the next day, he came in with a flier and a plan.

In the book, the dog, Lance, a pit bull, drew a striking resemblance to Barnett’s dog Bodie.

Burnett said he was able to relate to the book, knowing firsthand how pit bulls can get a

from CritterKin, yes, but more importantly they are empowered to use that kindness to make a difference in the world.”

bad reputation and learned from Ball that it is important to never judge a book by its cover.

He said he wanted to take it a step further because he noticed that area shelters are always in need of supplies and thought it would be a good idea to start the drive.

“I just want to help the animals,” he said. “I look at my cats and dogs, and I know what they need. And I know there are more out there that need help, and we can give it to them.”

Currently, every school site

for the SLE has a collection box, asking for donations of pet food, beds, toys, leashes, carriers, treats and cleaning supplies.

Burnett’s message to the public: “Adopt, don’t shop.”

He also reminds others that the Romeoville Humane Society has animals in need of foster homes. Visit www. romeovillehumanesociety.com for more information.

The CritterKin program aims to highlight emotional literacy — the ability to understand and show compassion, empathy and respect — through storytelling and collaboration. Burnett’s story just may indicate success.

“I was thrilled when Ayden told me Lance and the other characters in my book had inspired him to start a food drive for the local shelter,” Ball said. “Whenever students are not only entertained but moved to act, as well, I want to cheer. Kids learn kindness from CritterKin, yes, but more importantly they are empowered to use that kindness to make a difference in the world.”

Bolingbrook resident and Romeoville High School alum Dakota Vostry had a solid showing last week at the USBC Junior Gold competition across the Chicagoland area.

Vostry finished the tournament in 43rd place for the U-20 bowlers, totaling a score of 4,733, a 197.21 average. There were more than 1,400 entries for the division.

After the first day, Vostry sat in 30th place with a 1,040 for five games, which included a 279 game.

He sat in 35th place after the second day, shooting a 977 and had a 796 in four games the third day to move back to 30th and

safely make the top 200 cut to the advancers round.

In the advancers round Thursday at Stardust Lanes in Addison, Vostry shot a 943 to move to 41st place and make the top 63 cut to the final advancers round. Later that day he shot a 977 to finish the tournament.

“I didn’t really bowl too good today,” Vostry said. “I had a lot of missed spares the past two days.”

Vostry missed out on qualifying for the top 16 match play, which would have given him a shot to make Team USA. “I’ve made the cut every year except my first one,” Vostry said. “I’ve made the cut to 64 once before. It would have been awesome to make the top 16. It

A champions’ welcome

A sellout crowd of more than 3,500 people packed the stadium at Benedictine University in Lisle to see the four members of the Women’s World Cup championship team return to Chicago and take their place back with the NWSL-leading Chicago Red Stars.

While not all of the honorees played in the match, U.S. defender-midfielder and Red Stars captain Lori Chalupny tallied the lone Chicago goal in the 53rd minute, as Chicago played to a 1-1 tie with the visiting Boston Breakers.

Joining Chalupny was defender Julie Johnston, forward Christen Press and veteran midfielder Shannon Boxx, who has announced her plans to retire at the end of the season.

The Red Stars also honored their four World Cup players from other countries. The Canadian trio of Melissa Tancredi, Adriana Leon and Karina LeBlanc were recognized, as was New Zealand’s Abby Erceg.

Being her final season, Boxx is soaking in the moments following the Cup championship.

“The ticker tape parade was amazing. Not everyone is allowed to do that, not everyone is given the honor to do that,” said Boxx, who also was a member of the 2012 Olympic silver medal team.

“I have been around for a long time and I think that was one of the coolest events that I have ever been part of.”

Despite having a league-high eight players in Canada for the World Cup, the Red Stars players that were with the team held tough and have the Stars atop the league, giving the four Americans a shot at a second championship in only a couple months.

“When I got back to Chicago and I put all my stuff down, I just felt this rush of emotion again.

Now I’m back, now I’m starting this new chapter, but it’s always exciting,” Press said. “This team has done phenomenal while we were gone, and that puts us in a

It I was eager to go back to was almost a par-6 and Chicago and check out the there was fescue off the other Harborside Course – rough, as was the case on the Port Course. many holes.

As Mark Gregory and I Finally getting some help were driving to the course, taylor’s take by scott taylor from the wind, the par-4 we could feel the intense third hole was playing just wind from the highway, so we knew we would be in for a windy 337. However, you have to carry the fairway bunkers on the left or if you hit afternoon near the lake. it right can end up in those bunkers.

And, it was just that.

Throughout the round the wind There are more bunkers on the right came into play and it was more into side of the green.

The fourth hole is a 179-yard parthe face than playing with the wind.

The course started right away with a 3, which has a huge bunker all along hole into the wind with a bit of a cross the right side of a narrow green. The wind. That knocked down my drive to green slants left to right, so a bailout to the 346-yard opening hole (from the the hill on the left makes it a hard upregular tees, 423 from the tournament and-down as the green will slope away tees) to more than 150 yards out for from you.

Several more bunkers come into my approach.

The green has three bunkers to the play on the right on the fifth hole and I short and left, and Mark found that was the one that hit two in succession out the hard way, as he found all three this time off the fairway. There are more bunkers surrounding the green. of them on successive shots.

The sixth hole is a short par-3 at After a morning of rain, the bunkers were hard, making them difficult to 115 yards and played into the wind play on. Unfortunately, there are a and that was followed by a straight lot of bunkers on the course, so in par-4 seventh hole that had a bunker many cases, they played like a stroke guarding the left of the green and a

bunch of tall grass to the right of the fairway.

Hole No. 8 had bunkers nearly the entire way down the left side of the hole, including one that snuck into the fairway, which I found. I managed to get the one on the green, somehow.

The ninth hole is a 485-yard par-5 that has a green on a left angle, making it hard to reach in two as, you guessed it, bunkers are numerous in front of the green.

The back nine begins with a par4 and then moves to a par-5, which has a partially blind tee shot. Bunkers surround the green and one is to the right of the layup area.

The 12th is a long dogleg right where you can cut off some distance if you are a long hitter and can carry the bunkers. The fairway narrows near the green, making the approach shot more difficult.

Another short par-3 follows, which is right over a large bunker. That is followed by a long par-3 that has the bunkers in the form of an anchor in front of the green.

The 16th hole heads to the lake and it goes out into the fairway on the short par-4. You can’t bail out right though as there are bunkers scattered throughout. The water goes right up to the green, so you have to be accurate on your approach shot.

The lake comes into play again on 17 as the fairway is a dogleg left

around the lake. You can try to cut off the dogleg but could end up in the water or another bunker just over the lake. It plays to another narrow green surrounded by bunkers.

The closing hole features Lake Calumet along the left of the narrow fairway. Your third shot plays to a green protected to the left by water and bunkers on both sides. The green is shared with the 18th green on the Starboard Course.

Overall I liked the course, but it wasn’t quite up to the Starboard’s level until the final stretch of holes.

That final stretch rivals the Palmer Course at Lake Geneva for the best closing stretch of holes I have played.

The bunkers and fescue force you to be accurate or you will pay for it. The greens were in good shape and were fairly fast.

Harborside was promoting a special where you could get a membership for $150 and get the first round free. If you play the course 3-5 times a year, it would be a great deal I feel.

As is, the course is the same cost as the Starboard, at $87 during the peak of the day, with a $75 fee in the morning and $56 after 3 p.m.

I would recommend playing both courses and trying to play in the evening if possible as the lowering sun and cheaper cost is a great combination for a pair of nice golf courses.

While they play to win, Press said even the champions play to inspire.

“A lot of us play so that the young girls can look at our team and go ‘I can do that,’” she said.

“That’s why I thought the ticker tape parade was so special, because we looked down in the crowd and there were girls there, and I could see it in their eyes, ‘I want this,’ and they can. That is the future. The future is the fact that they can be better than us and they can push the game.”

“It would have been nice to travel and have a vacation,” Vostry said. “But it is nice to know the lanes at the different centers. It gives me a little bit of an advantage.”

Vostry will be competing in college this year for Robert Morris University in Chicago, which won the NAIA National Championship last year in the Chicagoland area.

“We’re going to have a really nice team next year,” Vostry said.

“We have five strong incoming freshmen. It’s going to be a great season, I can’t wait. I want to get that National Championship. It was a great experience to watch them win the NAIA title last year.

“It’s in people’s hometowns and people can come and watch us play,” Chalupny said.

“Hopefully, that’ll continue the momentum.”

Press hopes fans who may have been created by the World Cup continue to come out and support the game.

“I think this is an incredibly important moment for women’s soccer. We have had such a great ride through the summer and we are hoping to continue it. We hope our fans that have supported us continue to come out to the NWSL games and see that there are hundreds of women in this country that play great soccer and it is something worth watching. If the fans continue to support us in the league, it will continue to push women’s soccer forward from the national level to the club level and all the way down. This is a special moment and we want to continue to move forward and never go back. We have worked really hard to get here and the future is bright.”

Tips for a successful school year Family members should share their schedules (StatePoint) When the school year begins, students need to quickly get back into the swing of things. Staying organized from day one can ease the transition.

While every individual needs to tweak his or her routine to best suit personality quirks and study habits, here are a few tried-andtrue organization tricks that will work for most anyone:

Get Scheduled While the word “bedtime” may have no meaning on summer vacation, during the school year, it is vital. A regular sleep schedule can mean better quality sleep and higher alertness at school. Likewise, a morning routine can help students focus and prep for the day.

Family members should share their schedules with each other to ensure

everyone gets to practice, club meetings and other activities on time. Install a household calendar or bulletin board in a central location to ensure everyone stays in the know.

Stomp out Clutter Lockers and backpacks need to stay organized. Whether notebooks, binders and textbooks are arranged by sequence of the day, subject or color isn’t important so long as the system works for you. To create more storage space in your locker, add durable, stackable locker shelving.

For on-the-go book hauling, look for a backpack such as the Five Star Expandable Backpack that features two expanding compartments providing additional space, along with protected storage for laptops.

Its patented zipper allows you to quickly get inside your backpack while it is hanging in your locker. Ergonomic patent-pending straps distribute weight to comfortably support a heavy load.

To cheer up your locker with a boost of color and add a place for quick reminders and mementos, try the Five Star Magnetic

Students need to be able to keep more belongings than ever with them throughout the day, such as school supplies, paperwork, flash drives, calculators and other electronics.

Mirror + Push Pin Board. Its slam-resistant magnets will keep it affixed to the inside door of your locker. There isn’t much time between classes, so a mirror is a welcome locker feature when there isn’t time for the bathroom.

Organizational tools such as these can keep your ducks in a row all year long. Also remember to set time aside weekly to clean out your locker and backpack, throwing out candy wrappers and crumpled notes.

Personal Organization Students need to be able to keep more belongings than ever with them throughout the day -- traditional school supplies, paperwork, flash drives, calculators and other electronics. A binder that can contain it all will give students a chance to make sure their lives are in order, not just a class at a time. For a secure method of carrying supplies, look for the Trapper Keeper Zipper binder, with pockets and dividers to keep items organized, and the Five Star Zipper Binder + Expansion Pocket, which features storage for textbooks and a tablet, and has an adjustable strap that allows you to carry the binder messenger style or on your back.

At home, it’s easy to get distracted from important tasks like studying and homework. Create a dedicated work space away from televisions and other distractions.

Make sure the area is comfortable, well-lit and conducive to great work.

Ease into the Schedule Ease the back-to-school transition by

keeping bedtime and meals scheduled during the summer and adjusting timing as school approaches. If your child has been going to bed later than usual, begin adjusting his or her bedtime earlier toward the end of summer. Depending on age, children and teens need between 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep nightly.

For young children, arranging to see their new classroom and meet their new teacher before school starts can calm first day jitters.

Go over the school schedule with your child, including how she will get to school and what the plans are for after school time.

Schedule a Pediatric Visit The back-to-school season is a good time for scheduling a pediatric exam. Create a list of items you want to discuss with your child’s pediatrician. This list should include ensuring your child is up-to-date on vaccinations, a crucial part of preventive care.

It’s a good idea to build a medical home with a pediatrician by sticking with one doctor or medical practice throughout childhood and adolescence. The doctor will be better informed of your child’s medical history and aware of any emerging problems.

Beyond medical testing, pediatricians are well-equipped to counsel patients and parents on emotional and social issues, as well as issues that often crop up during adolescence, such as smoking, drugs, drinking, sexual activity and depression.
