Bolingbrook to cut department heads to save money

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

In an ongoing effort to trim costs, the village is looking to streamline its processes, cutting department heads, combining administrative duties for its largest factions, police and fire and public works and community development.

In reviewing the budget to be adopted in May, Mayor Roger Claar said the village found the

means to save money, pure and simple.

“We continually look for ways to save money and we made the decision to trim and there still will be other changes,” said Claar.

Fire Chief Dave Litton’s position will be eliminated.

Police Chief Kevin McCarthy will take on a new role, covering administration for both the police and fire departments. A new department head will cover

both Community Development and Public Works. It is not been determined who will be in that role as of yet. Public Works Director Mike Drey announced his retirement in January.

The move will garner approximately $300,000 in savings including salary and benefits, but is not a number needed to balance the budget, said Claar.

“The town has matured; we

have very little growth and all of our public service in place,” said Claar. “We have plenty of highlyqualified professional people who can run these departments under one department head.It just makes good economic sense.”

Claar said the police and fire departments will not be crosstrained and can continue to operate on a day-to-day basis as they have all along, with a deputy chief, four battalion chiefs and 17 lieutenants to guide them.

“All of them are more than able to fight a fire,” said Claar. “A chief’s job is about management.

A police chief and fire chief are very similar in those duties.”

McCarthy said he is more than comfortable in handling the new role.

“I know the fire staff and am confident in their ability for the day-to-day operations and I am comfortable with performing the administrative duties as I am in my staff to perform within their duties,” said McCarthy.

Claar said that by no means would the health and safety of the public be jeopardized by the change.

The Finance department is in the process of compiling the 2013-14 budget and the first workshop is scheduled for 8 a.m.

March 23 at village hall.

“I want to take this opportunity to build on what the chamber has already achieved and cultivate it and re-energize the members,” said Carpanzano, whose enthusiastic nature precedes him.

He explains that as the country slowly comes out of the recession, it is time to start bringing businesses back with an enhanced platform for them to succeed. And that’s one of his first goals for his new role as CEO. He believes it is a two-way street for the community at large and the business community to work together, realizing one needs the other.

“It is important to involve the

community and get their support as well as creating the simple awareness of services that is available to them in their own community,” said Carpanzano.

Working with local legislators is also key, he said, with the chamber having a role in advocating for certain principles, strictly pertaining to pro-business topics.

Carpanzano said he plans to use the same skills he used at the bank and working with both profit and non-profit organizations.

“It’s the same principle to invest myself in the local chamber and build teamwork,” said Carpanzano. “I believe the community has come to respect

me, and we will continue to work for that. I think half the battle has been won, and now we are on to the next level, ready to re-energize our efforts.

We have 650 chamber members, but we have 74,000 consumers in Bolingbrook to serve.”

Tom Castagnoli, general manager of The Promenade Bolingbrook and chairman of the Bolingbrook Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, chaired the selection committee.

The selection committee recommended Carpanzano based on his “outstanding accomplishments as well as his integrity, enthusiasm, passion and vision for the Bolingbrook community.”

The story takes place in a small kingdom in the year 1428. The domineering Queen rules the land and controls her teenage son and mute King husband. Although the prince is of age to marry, the Queen has devised tests impossible for each potential mate to pass. No one else in the kingdom is permitted to marry until Prince Dauntless has wed, and this is especially

upsetting to Sir Harry and Lady Larken, who are secretly expecting a child.

When Sir Harry leaves in search of a woman who will pass the test and returns with Princess Winnifred, a rough, brazen, yet charming young lady, to vie for the hand of the prince, the kingdom has hope.

With the help of the King, the Minstrel, and the Jester, Princess Winnifred is able to pass the test and a happy ending occurs for almost all involved.

Studio 300 debuts at Tibbott fifth graders help school get Fountaindale Library head start on new edible garden

By Laura Katauskas Staff reporter

Calling it the reality of new libraries today, the Fountaindale Public Library will be opening a window for patrons to embrace the digital age for personal and business growth.

Studio 300 includes six sound recording studios, two video recording studios, three group collaboration rooms and multiple editing stations to create and perfect content. Library officials boast the state-of-the-art studio will allow patrons to create professional quality work and receive help from expert staff members.

Patrons can check out the grand opening of Studio 300 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Saturday, March 16.Opening remarks from Library Board President Peggy Danhof and Mayor Roger Claar will

begin at 11 a.m. Tours of Studio 300 will follow. In addition, face painting, balloon and caricature artists, story times, crafts, and a photo booth will round out the activities. Refreshments will also be served.

“We hope to see a big turnout for the grand opening of Studio 300. We are looking forward to unveiling the space to patrons, and I think they will be really excited about it.,” said Chrissy Little, Communications Manager for the Fountaindale Public Library.

Studio 300 is an approximately 7,000-square-foot space in the library’s lower level. Unlike anything in the area, but fast becoming a trend in libraries across the nation, the district is breaking new ground with the advent of this media center that will have a studio-like feel.

Seminar looks at fake vs. real weapons

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Calling it a “must see seminar” for all parents, teachers, youth leaders and kids, DuPage Township is hosting, “Who Lives and Who Dies,” taking a look at the extreme possibilities when trying to decipher if a gun is real or not.

With the misuse of BB and pellet guns in Will County, the question arose as to whether or

not people could identify a real weapon from a fake weapon and just how their reaction can illicit a life-changing decision.

To discuss the matter, for the first of such events, the DuPage Township is partnering with the H.E.A.R.T. organization to offer a seminar at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 20, and the Levy Center, 251 Canterbury Lane, Bolingbrook.

Free pizza and pop sponsored

by Michael’s Pizza will be offered.

Tibbott Elementary School will be ready to hit the ground running when it comes time to plant the new edible school garden that was built last fall.

Students in David Mertes’ 5th grade class have been busy helping every classroom in the school plant seedlings in milk cartons recycled from the Tibbott cafeteria using compost created through a “vermiposting” project.

“Eventually,” said Tibbott Principal Ana Wilson, “our hope is to have a compost bin outside near the garden.”

But for now, a 6-foot-by-3-foot rubber bin sitting in Mr. Mertes’ room filled with thousands of worms will have to do.

Mr. Mertes’ Student Ambassadors, as they are called, are not only showing fellow students how to use the compost to grow such things as radishes, lettuce, basil, carrots

and a whole lot more, but they are also demonstrating how to make simple “greenhouses” using recycled egg cartons to encourage good growth in the

seedlings. They plan on visiting each classroom on a regular basis to water the young plants and to make entries into the journals they’re keeping.

H o ro s c o p e s Two heads are better than one. If there is something to work on or someplace to go, be sure to take along a friend or a special someone. You will achieve twice as much with a partner this week.

People may offer you insincere assurances or promises they have no intention of keeping during the early part of the week, but those close to your heart won’t let you down if you need a helping hand.

For the best results, exert additional effort and make key decisions in the first half of the week. You might not use the best judgment and may rely on luck, but the truth is you are luckier than usual.

As a person born with the sun in Cancer, you are frequently sensitive to the lunar cycles. This week’s new moon in Pisces might ignite a desire for study or travel that shifts your focus for several weeks.

Maintain momentum.

You should be able to coast along during the first half of the week. If someone asks for a favor, be wise and grant it, but don’t become greedy and ask for any for yourself.

Crazy cat ladies dine with dotty dog people. You may be thrown into contact with people who possess endearing foibles in the upcoming week. Maintain a respect for those with different lifestyles.

Don’t lose them at the first hello. In the week to come use your powers of attractiveness and charm to make people stand up and take notice. Crucial meetings should be scheduled early in the week.

When one door closes another one is sure to spring open. In the week ahead, rather than letting yourself become depressed about what has been lost, remember to rejoice in whatever has been found.

Please some of the people, not all of the people. Because of boundless optimism, you may bite off more than you can chew and regret it later this week. Wise planning is the key to success.

Stress free is the way to be. In the week to come, find ways to relax through meditation or a quiet walk.

Don’t complicate a situation by overreacting if and when things don’t go your way.

Extravagance in thought and deed may be just what you need. During the upcoming week, people may urge you on, and drown out your hesitations just when assurance is needed the most.

When you are standing at the corner of love and infatuation, you must remember that whichever street you take may involve lasting responsibilities. In the week ahead, you must honor your commitments.

JCA’s Lumpkin is Voyager Media Player of the Year

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When Jasmine Lumpkin decided to leave Montini after her sophomore season where she helped the Broncos win a Class 3A State Championship, she had two directions she could have gone and remained close to home.

Lumpkin could have enrolled in public school and joined a Plainfield East team that already had one budding superstar in Faith Suggs and program that seemed on the verge of winning or she could have gone to Joliet Catholic Academy, where the Angels have had competitive teams, but have struggled to compete with the top teams in the tough East Suburban Catholic Conference.

While her choice to attend JCA was mainly a family preference to attend a private school, Lumpkin also knew she would be joined on the basketball court by incoming freshman Nicole Ekhomu and she knew she had a chance to start something special.

Not since the reign of the Quigley sisters in the early 2000s has the JCA girls team been able to make a name on the state level.

This year, they did just that.

Lumpkin averaged 17.4 points

and 11.6 rebounds a game and helped the Angels to their first regional title since 2006.

“It was a great accomplishment to win the regional that had not been won since 2006,” Lumpkin said. “I was just looking to come in there and do whatever I could to make a big impact on the team, whether it was rebounding, scoring or whatever. I wanted to leave a mark this year, but next year we want to finish what we started as a team.

“The Joliet Catholic students are big on getting behind their sports, but not really girls basketball, but they really supported us this year and that was great.”

For all that she accomplished this season Lumpkin was named to the Illinois Basketball Association Coaches Association Class 3A/4A First team as well as the Class 3A Associated Press AllState first team. Lumpkin finished second in the voting for the Class 3A AP Player of the Year.

Her efforts have also earned her the title of 2013 Voyager Media Player of the Year.

“It is good to get the recognition,” Lumpkin said. “I have been working hard, so it is nice to see it pay off, but I can’t just settle for this. I have to keep working so I can keep winning for my team.”

JCA coach Ed Schodrof is

someone who knows of her selfless attitude on the floor.

“She obviously has skills,” Schodrof said. “But she is an extremely hard worker and she leads by example and that is what sets her apart. She is never arrogant and her teammates always want to play with her. She is very humble. She probably has 25 Division-I offers right now, but won’t talk about it unless you ask her.”

Lumpkin said she is humbled by all the collegiate offers.

“There have been a lot of schools that have entered the mix, so they all wow me,” she said. “I am just looking at every offer as an open door to possibly go there and get better. I am just thinking about all the amazing opportunities in front of me.”

Also on the first team are:

CARLIE CORRIGAN Corrigan, a senior from Plainfield North, totaled 488 points (18.7 per game) and averaged 8.2 rebounds per game for the Tigers. She finished her career with more than 1,200 See ALL-AREA, page 14

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 13 points.

“Carlie Corrigan has been a thrill to watch the four years she has been at North,” North coach Reggie Lemon said. “I watched her from afar the last couple of years and to actually coach her this year, I was even more impressed with her work ethic.

Carlie’s leadership came from her play and her will to win.

Carlie has broken the single game school record with 43 points, a career record 212 steals, a season record 90 steals, a school record in rebounds (518) and the career school points record of 1,128 points. Carlie was a role model for all the student athletes here at Plainfield North.”

KIERA CURRIE Romeoville senior scored 502 points (16.2 per game) and averaged 9.3 rebounds. She also had 64 steals and 43 assists and shot 75.3 percent from the foul line. She is headed to GardnerWebb University.

“Kiera is a tremendous young lady with an unbelievable competitive a t t i t u d e ,” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “Kiera is a great player who can play inside or out, has great body control and outstanding physical abilities.

Kiera coming back and playing with us her last three years was a blessing and she has meant a lot to the young post players in the program, which she took under her wing this year.”

CHRISTEN PRASSE The St. Louis Universitybound senior averaged 16.8 points per game for Benet. She also led the team with 79 assists, averaged 6.1 boards and had 27 blocks. Prasse added 62 steals and hit 37 three-pointers, both second best on the team.

“Christen had a great year for us,” Benet coach Peter Paul said. “She’s going to have a great four-year career at St. Louis. She has been a mainstay. I can’t say enough.

“One of the things I will always remember about her is that all of her friends left (last year to graduation) and we never had to sit down with her, she took the group under her wing and tried to lead them.”

LIZ REHBERGER Resurrection coach Keith Miniscalco admits it’ll be tough to replace R e h b e r g e r, whom he says is a coach’s dream.

“In four years of coaching girls basketball, at the guard position she’s one of best shooting guards that I’ve ever had a chance to coach,” said Miniscalco in reference to Rehberger, who averaged 18.5 points per game her senior year and finishes a See ALL-AREA, page 15

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 14 three-year varsity career with more than 1,000 career points (1,084).

Rehberger and the Bandits posted a 19-12 record during the 2012-13 season and advanced to the sectional semifinals. She also was the team’s leader in steals.

“She’s a smart player and she makes a coach’s job easier,” Miniscalco said.“There’s not a lot of micromanaging you have to do with Liz. She’s an outstanding defensive player. I’ve probably given her so many accolades, there’s not much more I can say about her. She brings it on both ends of the floor.”

Second team AYSIA BUGG A transfer from Oswego East, Bugg e m e r g e d as a bona fide scoring threat for B o l i n g b ro o k this season, leading the team with a 16 pointper-game average. The 5-foot, 9-inch junior totaled 399 points, starting 25 consecutive games before an injury held her out of the sectional championship game against Neuqua Valley.

She shot 48.1 percent from the field and was 27.8 percent from behind the three-point line.

“She had a great year for a kid coming into her first year in the program,” said Bolingbrook coach Tony Smith. “She was supposed to come in and knock down shots and she did what she was supposed to do.”

NIKIA EDOM F o r m e r M o n t i n i standout made an immediate impact with Plainfield East her senior year.

The Murray State recruit averaged 15.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. She also contributed 70 steals and 59 assists and made 48 threepointers.

“Nikia is a stand out type of player and kid,” East coach Missy Mitidiero said. “She is a natural leader on the court, a respected

teammate and demands attention from any opponent and is a necessity to have on the court at all times. Murray State is getting a great shooter, leader and worker.”

NICOLE EKOHMU Freshman standout averaged 16.9 points per game in her first season of varsity basketball for Joliet Catholic Academy. She tallied a seasonbest 38 points in the Angels’ win over Fenwick to go along with 25 points over Benet and 20 against Peoria Richwoods.

“She is a great kid from a great family,” said JCA coach Schodrof.

“The sky is the limit and she has unlimited potential. Once she gets a little stronger in the weight room and gets a little more aggressive, she will be hard to stop.”

JACQUI GRANT G r a n t capped her stellar fouryear varsity career by being name to the Associated Press’ Class 4A first-team AllState squad.

“That’s just a huge, huge honor for her individually and for us as a program,” said Maine South coach Mark Smith. The 6-3 Grant, a University of Illinois recruit, helped lead the Hawks to a threeyear 80-22 record, four straight

regional titles and a third-place finish in the 2011 state finals. She is the second-leading scorer and rebounder in school history with 1,522 points and 819 boards, respectively.

“Each year her skill set increased,” Smith said. “The complexity of our offense and the depth of her skill set makes it a tough matchup for (opposing) kids. Instead of just being able to play back to the basket, she can face the basket, shoot the three, lead the break and her passing has just been phenomenal. She’s been a complete player for us this year.”

FAITH SUGGS A sophomore from Plainfield East, Suggs scored 13.4 points per game and pulled down 5.9 rebounds per game, while making 43 steals.

Faith is the kind of player that has the work ethic, drive and the talent to play any position you need her to,” Mitidiero said.

“She is a multifaceted guard that can drive the lane, shoot the pull up jumper and post up very effectively. Her tireless work ethic will allow her to continually improve.”

Third team REGAN CARMICHAEL Carmichael had been a valuable

THE BUGLE MARCH 14, 2013 performer off the bench for the Hawks each of the past two seasons, but became a full-time starter for the first time her senior year and made the most of the opportunity. She was the Hawks’ second-leading scorer, averaging just under 12 points

per game, as well as their secondleading rebounder. Carmichael also led the Hawks in steals (66) and assists (118). She’ll be playing Division I basketball next season at St. Louis University.

“Her physical and mental maturity was off the charts this year,”said Smith.“It was all the hard work she put in the previous two years and her understanding of See ALL-AREA, page 16

She has tremendous athleticism; she can run, jump and shoot; she’s physical and she’s tough.”

AMARAH COLEMAN J u n i o r transfer from Neuqua Valley, C o l e m a n averaged 12.7 points and a team best 127 assists (5.08 per game average) this season for Bolingbrook. Coleman showed the ability to score when needed and also lead the Raider

offense. One of several returners coming back to help the Raiders next season, Coleman helped Bolingbrook to a sectional title, defeating her old teammates.

“She is going to be one of the top point guards in the area next year,” Smith said. “She came into her own, knowing who should have the ball and knowing when it was her time to score and she did a great job of scoring when she needed to.”

SARAH COSTELLO The junior from Downers North tallied 13.3 points and 7.6 rebounds, to go along with 100 steals and 94 assists.

“Sarah is an extremely hard

Sports worker who continues to put in the time to improve her game,” North coach Stephan Bolt said.

“She constantly pushes herself and teammates around her to be become better and with that her confidence continues to grow.

We are very excited to have her coming back for another year.”

LARISSA McLEMEN S e n i o r leader for the Minooka, the University of St. Francisbound center averaged a team-best 11.6 points and 6.5 rebounds for the regional champion Indians. She was named to the All-Conference team as well as All Tournament at Oswego Holiday Tournament and Warhawk Thanksgiving Tournament.

“I have never coached a post player with the non-stop energy that Larissa has,” Minooka coach

Ray Liberatore said. “Through hard work and determination she improved in every aspect of her game to become our most valuable player this year.”

ABBY SMITH A four-year starter for Romeoville, Smith was an all-around player for the Spartans.

She finished with 10.9 points and five rebounds per game, while leading the team with 149 assists and 96 steals.

Smith is headed to McKendree University.

“Abby is the definition of leader, this young lady has been my right hand for the past four years and has been a great influence on how the program has changed,” Carrasco stated. “When she came in four years ago we knew we had a good one and she did

not disappoint. Her hard work and dedication will be missed and I know this young lady will be a tremendous success in whatever path she decides to take. She will definitely be missed by the coaching staff and the program.”

Fourth team BERNASIA FOX Fox came out like gangbusters early in the season, sparking the Joliet Central offense to the tune of 13.8 points per game. The 5-foot, 6-inch senior also averaged 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1-2 assists per game prior to tearing her ACL in late December.

“Bernasia is a really talented player who can play with any guard in the state,” said Joliet Central coach Brian Reed.

“Unfortunately, she tore her ACL during our Christmas tournament.

I really would of liked to see her progression. Bernasia is a good See ALL-AREA, page 17

There are also changes in the roster this year. While the South teams remain the same with Plainfield Central, Plainfield South, Plainfield East, Plainfield South, Minooka, Lockport, Joliet West, Joliet Central, Joliet Catholic Academy and Romeoville, the North team keeps its base of Bolingbrook, Maine South, Maine East, Downers Grove North, Downers Grove South, Benet, Westmont and Notre Dame and

adds Resurrection and Lisle as well as Northridge Prep, which recently joined the Voyager coverage schools.

With all these great schools, fans are sure to see great basketball. The girls game features players like Associated Press Class 4A Honorable Mention Nikia Edom from Plainfield East as well as Kamari Jordan, who won the Class 4A three-point shootout and placed second in the IHSA Queen of the Hill.

Benet falls to West Aurora in final

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Leading by two after three quarters Friday, March 8 in the Bolingbrook Sectional final, Benet was one quarter away from a second sectional title in three years.

However, despite not allowing a field goal in the fourth quarter, the No. 2 seed Redwings (27-6) fell to No. 4 seed West Aurora 4238.

“I thought it was a really hardfought game,” Benet coach Gene Heidkamp said. “Our kids gave it everything they had. It was a struggle for both teams to score down the stretch.They made the plays and they executed down the stretch.”

Benet led 29-27 after three and it was a free-throw fest back-andforth in the fourth quarter. The difference was the Blackhawks were making theirs and took the lead for good, 35-33 on three free throws by Jayquan Lee, who was fouled shooting a three-pointer.

The first field goal of the fourth quarter came with under two minutes left on a Sean O’Mara basket to make it 36-36 West Aurora.

After four more Blackhawk free throws, Eddie Eshoo hit a threepointer with 19.9 seconds left to cut the deficit to 40-38. Lee made one of two free throws on the other end, giving the Redwings a chance to tie, but they threw the ball away. West Aurora was able to clinch the game at the line.

“We were trying to get the best shot available,” Heidkamp said about the final play. “We put the ball in (Pat) McIerney’s hands. I thought we would be able to get Sean (O’Mara) off the roll, but it didn’t materialize. Pat threw the ball to the top of the key and it was kind of a scramble from there. They took away what we were looking for.”

West Aurora was 15-of-20 from the line in the fourth quarter and 23-for-36 for the game. Benet was 4-for-8 in the fourth quarter and 9-of-19 in the game. The Blackhawks shot 9-of-27 from the floor, while the Redwings were 13-for-30.

The score was tied 5-5 after one quarter, the third straight game Benet held a team to five points the opening period. West Aurora led 17-16 at the half.

Benet 6-foot, 9-inch junior O’Mara picked up his fourth foul late in the third quarter on a charging call and that seemed to hurt the Redwings on both sides of the court.

“It hurt us quite a bit to have Sean on the bench for a good period of time and it limited his effectiveness,” Heidkamp stated.

“It hurt us to have him in foul trouble.”

O’Mara finished with 13 points to lead Benet.

It was the final game for several Benet seniors, including McInerney, the do-it-all point guard who was a part of a pair of regional championship teams and a member of the sectional champs two years ago.

“He’s had a great career,” Heidkamp said. “He’s impacted our program in more ways than just his basketball game. He’s a great leader and a great kid all the way around. He’s hard to replace on the court and in the locker room. He’s had an unbelievable career.”

Despite the loss, it was a strong season for Benet, who played one of the toughest schedules in the state.

“We won 27 games against a brutal schedule,” Heidkamp said.

“We won a regional. We won arguably the most competitive conference in the state. We won some big nonconference games.

We played 33 games and only played three teams with losing records. We had 14 opponents win 20 or more games. It would have been nice to finish it off with a sectional title, but you have to give a lot of credit to West Aurora.” *The Redwings withstood a Neuqua Valley rally and were able to come away with a 68-62 double overtime win Thursday, March 7 in a Bolingbrook Sectional semifinal.

Benet led 19-5 after the first quarter, but the Wildcats clawed their way back into the game.

O’Mara had 26 points and

12 rebounds in the win over Neuqua. Pat McInerney added 18 points and 13 rebounds and Robert Haemmerle scored 15 points, including four key free throws late in regulation.

“The game wasn’t going to be lost because of me,” Haemmerle said. “I just wanted to give forth my best effort. I just did what I could to chip in. I tried not to think about (the pressure on

the free throws) and just worry about my stroke. It felt good out of my hand, and I can’t complain about that.”

How to keep your sanity in a workplace gone crazy Q. Seems to me that a lot of people in my workplace appear to be losing their minds these days. I try hard to find logical connections between what is happening and how people are reacting, but both coworkers and customers seem a little crazy. How can I keep my sanity when everybody around me seems to losing theirs?

A. You can keep your sanity by understanding that you may not be able to control what is going on around you but you can definitely control how you react to what is going on around you.

Most of our anxiety at work comes from trying to control situations that we actually have no control over. Some of us seem to believe that if we just worry hard enough, the stuff we worry about will be magically banished.

The question you want to ask yourself immediately if your

Davis will be in charge of strategic oversight for philanthropic initiatives, as well as corporate and individual giving on behalf of the university.

Davis, who will serve on Governors State President Elaine P. Maimon’s cabinet, has also been named Interim CEO of the GSU Foundation, the university’s fundraising arm.

Davis said he plans to strategize GSU’s brand to engage alumni, individual donors, foundations, and corporations to invest in “the university’s renaissance.”

workplace seems crazy is, what do you actually have the power to control? Now make sure you get all the information you can and take all the action you can in areas where you have power.

In areas where you don’t have power, ask yourself a different question. The question when you lack influence is, what options do I have if the problems I worry about occur?

Brainstorm as many options as you can, and linger long and hard on ways you could turn some of these problems into opportunities.

We all tend to like our status quo because we feel reality is more controllable when it is

predictable. Problems can often be gifts in disguise, however, because problems force us to expand our thinking to invent solutions.

When you can’t just keep doing the same old thing at work, you’ll be forced to change. As long as you are going through the discomfort of change, you might as well get something good out of it like a cool opportunity.

Problems also force us to grow up. For instance, you may have had a hundred confusing conversations with your boss where she tells you you’re not a “team player.” You may have always felt insulted but never actually known what she meant.

If you realize the power you have is to ask her to describe on

a video screen what she wants, you might finally get that raise you’ve been eying.

Human beings tend to improve, like chunks of coal, when they are put under pressure. Coal turns into diamonds, and human beings turn into resilient and creative adults.

Sometimes the same pressure that makes one individual at work brilliant will crack another. You want to watch your coworkers and customers closely for the choices they make when under pressure.

Get closer to the people who take responsibility and mature.

Create distance from those that get increasingly irrational and self-destructive.

A. Yes, the skill set of being able and enthusiastic to learn.

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: If I’ve taken a bisphosphonate for five years, what will happen if I stop? My physician said a twoyear sabbatical was all right, but I’m wondering if my bones will return to their original osteopenia state.

ANSWER: Taking a bisphosphonate medication (Fosamax, Boniva, others) to treat bones that are thinner than normal (a condition known as osteopenia) can help build your bones back up. If See BENEFITS, page 27

HPV viruses.Two vaccines are currently available: one vaccine contains protection against four types of HPV -- type 6 and 11, the causes of most genital warts, see above, and types 16 and 18, which cause most cases of cervical cancer.The other vaccine protects against two types of HPV -- type 16 and 18.

It is important to remember that these vaccines contain only two to four types of the virus and there are more than thirty types that can affect the genital tract.The vaccine protects against the most common HPV types that cause genital warts and cervical cancer, but it will not protect against all types.Therefore, it is still possible to get genital warts or have an abnormal pap smear. Unfortunately ladies, we can’t forgo that pap smear just yet!

The vaccines are nearly 100% effective in preventing genital warts and cervical cancer caused by the types in that vaccine. But again, they only contain two to four types, depending on which vaccine is received. Both are

recommended for girls and women aged 9 years through 26 years of age, though most often it is given between age 11 and 13.The vaccine is most effective if it is given before a person is sexually active and already exposed to HPV. Boys can be given the vaccine as well.Three doses are given over a 6 month period and the most common side effect is a sore arm. Rarely, a person can develop headache, fatigue, nausea or dizziness and luckily these are generally mild and disappear quickly.

More information can be found at the Centers for Disease Control website, www.cdc.gov.

It is not for me or any doctor to choose what is best for you or your children, only to make sure you are informed enough to feel comfortable making the decision that is right for you.

Consider asking your Ob-gyn or your child’s pediatrician about the HPV vaccine at your next visit.

Doctors Rx HPV is a virus that can cause genital warts or cervical cancer, depending on the type.

There are 30 types that affect the genital tract.There are two vaccines available that are almost 100% effective in preventing the types of HPV that the vaccines contain. One vaccine contains four types (type 6, 11, 16, 18), which are the types responsible for the majority of cases of genital warts and cervical cancer.The other vaccine contains two types (type 16 and 18), which are the types responsible for the majority of cases of cervical cancer. Most common side effects are mild and resolve quickly.The vaccine can be given from age 9 to age 26 years old. Visit www.cdc.gov for more information regarding the HPV vaccine.

How to make healthful eating fit your daily routine

By StatePoint Media

Eating right is essential to keeping your body running at its best. But nutrition advice doesn’t always account for people’s varied lifestyles, health needs and tastes.

March, which is National Nutrition Month, is an excellent opportunity to review your diet and make positive, sustainable changes.

So what’s the “right” way to eat for you? Experts say it’s not as restrictive as you may think.

“There’s sometimes a misperception that eating properly means giving up favorite foods,” says registered dietitian and President of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Ethan A. Bergman. “But including foods you love in your diet can help you stick to your goals.”

As part of the “Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day” campaign, Bergman suggests that those looking to eat a healthy diet, tailor food choices to meet lifestyle, needs and preferences:

BENEFITS Continued from page 25 you stop taking the medication after several years, research has shown that because bisphosphonates accumulate in your bones, the drugs’ benefits persist for some time.

And, when you’re not taking a bisphosphonate, you can make a number of lifestyle choices that can have a positive effect on bone health.

Bones are in a constant state of renewal because the body continually makes new bone while old bone is broken down. In young people, the body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone, increasing bone density. Bone density is determined by the amount of calcium and other minerals packed within the bones. The denser the bones, the stronger they are and the less likely to break.

As you get older, the process of bone regeneration slows, the bone breakdown process speeds up, and bone density drops. Osteopenia means that bone density is lower than normal and could lead to osteoporosis, a condition in

• Business People: Busy work days can lead to on-thefly meals. For desktop dining, keep single-serve packages of crackers, fruit, peanut butter, low-sodium soup or canned tuna in your desk.

Always on the go? Tuck portable, nonperishable foods in your bag for meals on the run.

Try granola bars, peanut butter and crackers, fresh fruit, trail mix or single-serve packages of whole-grain cereal or crackers.

• Athletes: Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just enjoy working out, what you eat affects your performance. Eat a light meal or snack before exercising, such as low-fat yogurt, a banana or cereal with low-fat milk.

Before, during and after exercise, drink plenty of water or a sports drink, if you prefer.

• Students: For nutritious, budget-friendly snacking, combine protein and carbohydrates, such as apples and peanut butter,low-fat cheese and whole-grain crackers or hardboiled eggs and fruit. These

which bones are weak, brittle and vulnerable to breaking.

Bisphosphonates are used to treat osteopenia because they slow the bone breakdown process, effectively preserving bone density. Taking these drugs can have some drawbacks, though. One side effect that can occur as a result of bisphosphonates is stomach irritation that can cause heartburn or acid reflux.

Long-term bisphosphonate therapy also has been linked to a rare problem in which the upper thighbone cracks or breaks.

Bisphosphonates have the potential to affect the jawbone, too, causing a rare condition known as osteonecrosis in which a part of the jawbone dies, most often after root canal procedures, tooth extractions, or dental implants.

To lower the risk of developing these rare side effects, it is recommended that most people not take bisphosphonates for more than five years. But after you stop taking the medication, its positive effects persist.

That’s because after taking a bisphosphonate for a time, you build up the medicine in your bones and that can have a lasting positive impact on your bone health.

also double as quick grab-andgo breakfasts.

At the cafeteria, salad bars are a great choice -- just go easy on the high-calorie add-ons.

• Families: Family meals allow parents to be role models to ensure kids eat right. And,

just because a meal is made quickly doesn’t mean it can’t be nutritious.

Keep things simple. Choose ingredients you can use for more than one meal. For example, cook extra grilled chicken for salad or fajitas the next day.

Get the kids involved. They can make the salad, set the table or do other simple tasks.

• Vegetarians: A vegetarian diet can include just as much variety as one including meat. For example, nutrient-rich beans are a great choice. Enjoy vegetarian chili, a hummus-filled pita sandwich or veggie burger. Many popular items are or can be vegetarian -pasta primavera, veggie pizza and tofu-vegetable stir-fry.

• Meat lovers: Keep your meaty meals heart-healthy by selecting lean cuts and choosing chicken, turkey and fish more often. Avoid deep fried foods.

Instead, bake, broil, roast, stew or stir-fry your meals.

This month, set yourself up for success. Consider working with a registered dietitian to develop a personalized eating plan. More tips can be found at www.EatRight.org.

Remember, good nutrition isn’t meant to make you suffer.

With exercise and moderation, you can enjoy your favorite foods regularly.
