City of Yorkville

With the snow and rain this spring, it's

easy to forget that 2012 was a

drought year for most of our region.

at drought was hard on trees and its

effects may last for years, although they

may not appear immediately. e impact

of the drought of

2012 may take a year or more to show up

in our trees.

Some trees that were overstressed by the

drought and heat may not leaf out this

spring or may

have bare limbs. eir growth may slow

down and they may produce few or no

seeds. Trees

that have been stressed by lack of water

also are oen prey to insects or disease.

What can you do to help? In a word, wa‐

ter, even if it seems that there has been

plenty of rain.

Remember that the whole community

forest needs your help, including trees on

public

property as well as your own. Municipal

staff oen does not have the time or re‐

sources to

water all of the public property trees. So

when you are watering your own trees,

please

consider setting the sprinkler to water

the parkway trees too.

Water the entire area around a tree

trunk, as far as the branches extend-out

to what

professionals call the drip line. Water a

tree every one to two weeks, long

enough for the water

to soak down 12 to 15 inches, where

most of a tree's roots are. In intense heat

and drought you

may need to water more frequently. It is

better to water deeply every at intervals

than to water

more frequently but lightly.

For more information on drought and

watering, visit the following websites:

Let’s go dancing by Evie Givens and Martin Flowers

Well now that all that all the dust has set‐

tled and the NCAA has punch the ticket

for 64 teams in this year’s March mad‐

ness. Who are the favorites and who is

that Cinderella story so bucket up and it

going to be a great ride!

Here is a quick lesson in how to select

the winner

In the MID West Louisville is the top

seat Pittino and company return aer

winning the Big East tournament how‐

ever, there is a long way to Atlanta.

Teams to consider are Duke, St. Louis,

Michigan State are the teams that have

the best chance of unseating the Cardi‐

nals. Duke is led by the tradition are the

number two seat. St. Louis has a team

who is fast and scores in bunches. Michi‐

gan State is ready because of the tough

Big Ten and is the third seat no coinci‐

dence here. However we are picking the

Louisville Cardinals to be our !rst !nal

four pick.

West Gonzaga –is the top seat here how‐

ever Wisconsin, Kansas State, Ohio

State, and New Mexico stand in the way.

is is a tough Regional with teams who

bounced around the top 10 all season.

Gonzaga for the !rst time is the team to

beat in past here they have been the Cin‐

derella team. However here in the West

we are choosing Ohio State because of

their size and quickness and they have

been here before.

South – Kansas is the top seat with

Georgetown, Michigan, and Florida as

possible !nal four materials. On this re‐

gional no doubt Kansas all the Way.

During their conference tournament

they dismantled the completion and are

peaking at the right time.

East Indiana is the top seat with UNLV,

Miami, Marquette to consider here we

are going with the Hurricanes of Miami.

Were ranked number one at one point in

season and have talent in the front and

back court.

Here we are in Atlanta with the !nal four

of Louisville, Ohio State, Kansas, and

Miami

In the !rst !nal four matchup, we have

Louisville defeating Ohio State

Second game will be Indiana knocking

off the Hurricanes

In the Championship game it will be

Louisville bring home its third national

title and !rst since the 80’s.

Like all who fall into the trap we will be

wrong at some point but that is the fun

of it so have a great time and enjoy the

ride.



Hawks Dominate by Dick Kolf

With two losses since breaking the

record, the Hawks still continue to look

like a team with a mission. Patrick Kane

and Marion Houssa still are the dynamic

duo and the team still is 3 lines deep in

terms of being able to continue their

dominance of the NHL. Great teams !nd

a way to win and that has been the

Hawks motto all year long.

Winning games by a lot or a little still

have the same results. Aer the record

setting start, it is normal to see a bit of a

dip however, this team is different. Even

though they are young, they are playoff

tested and have won the Stanley cup.

So moving forward the answer is simple;

the Hawks will continue to push for the

playoffs and will continue to give other

teams !ts in terms of matching up be‐

cause they three deep and they have a

great goalie.


Bulls continue to improve by Evie Givens

e Chicago Bulls come into this week

with a record of 36-30 and just losing

tough pone to the Nuggets in double

overtime. Currently the Bulls are in posi‐

tion for the 6th seed in the Eastern con‐

ference. With Derrick Rose set to return

for the !nal playoff push. e Bulls have

played good at times and poor in other

stretches. With a win against Minnesota

on Sunday (104-97), this will hopefully

give them a momentum push when they

face Miami on Wednesday.

e Bulls continue to rely on the bench

and the front court to produce the need‐

ed scoring. e guard play has improved

with Nate Robinson. With the return of

Rose this should help to prepare the

Bulls for their upcoming showdown at

the United Center with the Heat. How‐

ever, Miami is on an incredible winning

streak. Also, Noah has been absent for

the past 2 games. I don’t want to be neg‐

ative but I don’t see the Bulls winning

Wednesday night.

e Bulls need to continue to focus in on

how to create scoring opportunities if

they are going to make a run at the title.

Defense continues to keep the Bulls in

contention with Noah and company

holding opponents to below 100 points a

game. Hopefully he will be able to come

back on Wednesday because he will be

greatly needed.

As we begin the !nal push, let’s hope the

Bulls can improve their scoring and

work on better rebounding. Without

these key elements, they will have a hard

time during the playoffs.


Chicago Bears Linebacker Brian

Urlacher

at is the Way it is

Bears say good bye to an old Friend by

Tim Flowers

e Chicago Bears have parted ways

with a corner stone of the franchise this

week in not resigning Brian Urlacher,

the long-time linebacker. rough the

years, Brian has been the one consistent

player in a franchise that has seen turbu‐

lent times in the last decade.

One of the reasons Halas Hall gave for

the departing with Urlacher was the

need to free up cap space. Another rea‐

son was that he would not sign for less

money in order make the team competi‐

tive. At 34, he is at the end of the line in

terms of playoff life. is completes the

transformation of the once proud fran‐

chise into a team of utter lack of talent

and leadership. 10 and 6 was the last sea‐

son and yes they failed to make the play‐

offs so Lovie is gone as are the other

coaches and now the captain of the team

and the corner stone of the franchise.

So Bears fans, here is what to look for‐

ward to next year:

1. A coach who really has no business

coaching in the NFL.

2. Over rated Quarterback who would

rather quit than lead his team.

3. A running back who really cannot !g‐

ure out what a thousand yards is.

4. A defense that held the team together

and not is without its leader.

Embry came to us from Kansas City; a

franchise who has not seen the playoffs

since the Clinton administration and a

Super Bowl Tile or appearance since Wa‐

ter gate.

McCaskey strikes again!! Here is the

man who almost thirty years ago dis‐

mantled the Super Bowl team and con‐

tinues to wreak havoc on the franchise.

So grab some popcorn and your soda as

we approach the dra maybe with the

20th pick we can take an outside

linebacker from some division three

school who was a 2nd string who de‐

clared themselves eligible for the dra.

Hey we got the best athlete that !ts the

new Bears way of doing things. Are you

kidding me?!? And that the way it is!

nurturing outdoor learning experience

for children ages 3-5 will be adding more

classes for the 2013-14 school year. is

nings to better tailor educational experi‐

ences for different ages, but also offer

classes later in the day.

through May and provides the students

with daily hikes, indoor literacy-building

activities, a nutritious snack, and an en‐

gaging variety of skill-building activities

vironmental themes.

year will be as follows:

Natural Beginnings will start on Sept. 9,

2013, and will conclude on May 6, 2014.

As always, we will continue to explore

themes in nature throughout the school

year. Each unit begins with an assess‐

ment of student knowledge of the topic,

such as the life cycle of a frog. en, for

the next three weeks, the curriculum fea‐

tures a variety of interactive and immer‐

sive lessons on that theme. In the past,

students have raised their own butter(ies

from a pupa and made their own dens to

prepare for winter as they study hiberna‐

tion. Teachers and students collaborate

to wrap up each theme in stories, pic‐

tures and drawings in the child’s person‐

al nature journal.
