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.
11Kendall Weekly Times
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!

ing! Come check us out at our Open

Due to a growing number of students,
this educational program that provides a
nurturing outdoor learning experience
for children ages 3-5 will be adding more
classes for the 2013-14 school year. is
move not only will allow Natural Begin‐
nings to better tailor educational experi‐
ences for different ages, but also offer
classes later in the day.
is program meets from September
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
– all strongly grounded in a series of en‐
vironmental themes.
Our schedule for the 2013-14 school
year will be as follows:
- Ages 4-5: 9 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. or 12:30
p.m. to 2:45 p.m., Monday, Wednesday,

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.
