“I think we will still have to do a small RIF…Most of the teachers will get their jobs back and they should know it. And if they don’t know it, they should know it now.” Steve Quigley, school board president

he plan to potentially lay off more than 400 teachers was shot down by the Valley View School District School Board last week, expecting the administration to come back with far fewer reductions as originally intended. The sometimes slippery slope of contractual obligations such as the Reduction in Force (RIF) process paints a picture far worse than intended, explained School Board President Steve Quigley. At the past board meeting, held March 26, the administration called for the honorable dismissal of first-, second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-year teachers

for reduction-in-force reasons. The RIF process, or layoff process, is a common but complicated occurrence in school districts. The passage of Senate Bill 7 in June 2011 made the process even more cumbersome, said Quigley. In an analysis done by Attorneys and Counselors Franczek and Radelet, teacher layoffs must now be based primarily on performance ratings rather than seniority. The legislation extends honorable dismissal, reduction in force, and recall rights to probationary teachers, and introduces a new procedure for carrying out reductions in force and recall decisions effective for See RIF, page 3

Fire Department reduces response time By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Despite receiving the most calls in its history, the Bolingbrook Fire Department was able to reduce its response time in 2011. Fire Chief David Litton and the department recently released the 2011 annual report, which summarizes the work of the fire department and the services it provides. Response time to incidents— from the time the dispatch center receives a call to the time the responders arrive—improved to 3 minutes, 28 seconds. This is a 5-second improvement from the previous year. Litton reports that the average response time has dropped from 5 minutes, 6 seconds in 2007 to the current 3 minutes, 28 seconds. This is an overall reduction in response time of 1 minute, 38 seconds over the

RIF Continued from page 1 the 2011-2012 school year. According to the review, the legislation creates four specific tasks that districts must complete when making reduction in force and recall decisions, categorizing teachers based on legal qualifications and job descriptions and different groupings based primarily on performance evaluation ratings. School districts must determine the sequence of dismissal within each grouping, with the first grouping’s sequence based on the district’s discretion, the second grouping’s sequence based on performance evaluation ratings, and the third and fourth groupings’ sequences based on straight seniority unless an alternative method is established. This sequence of honorable dismissal list must be distributed to the applicable bargaining representative at least 75 calendar days before the end of the school term, however teachers can be moved from one group to another until 45 days before the end of the school term. What this change essentially does is contractually obligate the district to RIF a larger number of teachers. Quigley explained

four-year period. “In terms of response and for the person in need of assistance, 1 minute and 38 seconds can seem like a lifetime,” Litton said. He attributes the reduction to several factors, including technological improvements and improvements in the department’s process. Litton said that the human factor has also helped reduce overall times, mentioning that dispatch time was reduced from 1 minute, 30 seconds to 49 seconds. “Our personnel take great pride in providing quick,efficient and professional service to the citizens of Bolingbrook,” Litton said.“Our staff is second to none in providing this service, and we look forward to improving this standard in the years to come.” “The addition of the new computer-aided dispatch, electronic mapping, call handling procedures at the

dispatch center and turnout time of our personnel have all improved during the period,” Litton said. “Our average response time continues to be well below the maximum time allowed by the National Standards.” Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital has also played a large part in helping to reduce “in service” time—the time it takes to respond to the scene and deliver victims to hospitals for treatment. Approximately, 94 percent of all patients were transported to ABH, which is a continuing trend since the hospital opened. “Our call to ‘in service’ time has decreased again to just over 9 minutes,” Litton said. “This is a 6-minute improvement from last year and down an amazing 42 minutes since 2007. What this means is that our personnel are

that, by contract, a pink slip must be sent to everyone in that category. The district is looking to revamp its driver’s education department, which may require the district to lay off personnel, contributing to the larger number of RIF notices. It does not mean the entire department would be laid off, but the majority of teachers would receive a pink slip in order to reach the teachers that may need to be laid off. Coupled with the change in driver’s education are lower enrollment projections for next year, leading to the proposal by administration to make the notifications. However, Executive Director of Human Resources Sharon Hawks indicated that of the 400 or more teachers to be sent notices, all but approximately 40 would be rehired. Met with considerable protest from representatives of the teacher’s union, who came out in full force to share their concerns, the school board opted to reject the administration’s proposal and asked them to revisit the proposal. Currently negotiating a contract with the union, Quigley said the board has met with the union and is working on an agreed proposal and is confident a solution will be forthcoming. However, he also said that some

layoffs would be inevitable. “We chose not to do it that day, enrollment is still down,” said Quigley.“I think we will still have to do a small RIF…Most of the teachers will get their jobs back and they should know it. And if they don’t know it, they should know it now.” Teachers are recalled one person at a time in order of seniority, meaning that the Valley View Human Resources Department must wait for a response from one individual before moving on to the next name on the list. In 2009, the school district sent 136 RIF notices to first– year teachers, predicting that more than two–thirds would be recalled once the totals were in on voluntary resignations, involuntary transfers and other vacancies. The district eventually rehired all but seven. In 2010, the school district recalled all but five of 157 Valley View School District 365U teachers who received pink slips in April of that same year. Last year, no teachers were sent RIF notices because the number of retirees made up for the loss in enrollment. A decision regarding reduction in force is expected at the next school board meeting on April 16. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

kept in town, and are available for the next emergency much sooner than before, when we were transporting the majority of our patients to Naperville.” According to the report, the department’s call volume in 2011 jumped by nearly 15 percent—a total of 7,923 calls— over 2010. Litton attributes the increase to special incidents such as activated trouble fire alarms and notifications. Service calls, including elevator alarm activations, lift assists for citizens, and unauthorized burning of leaves and refuse, also made up a number of 2011’s calls. The annual report statistics show that the department responded to 144 fires, about 1.81 percent of calls; with the highest number of calls, 47.54 percent, for rescue and EMS incidents. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Waste Management gives 12k to Salvation Army, Community center Waste Management presented a $12,000 check recently to the Salvation Army Joliet and Will County Corps Community Center. The gift is the fulfillment of a pledge toward the recently expanded Joliet and Will County Corps Community Center. In response to the growing population of Will County, one of the fastest growing counties in the country, The SalvationArmy quadrupled the size of its community center, adding a gymnasium, computer lab, teen center and a permanent space for an Emergency Disaster Services mobile canteen. The expanded center opened in September 2011. “We are so deeply appreciative of the corporate support of Waste Management,” Lieutenant Claudia Simmons said. “There is so much we can do with this money.This community center is a safe place for children to have fun and learn. “When we receive support, that investment goes right back to the community in enrichment and character-building programs for young people after school, as well as programs and services for people of all ages who are in need.” Lisa Disbrow, Waste Management’s director of public affairs in Illinois and Indiana, added, “Waste Management operates two facilities, the Prairie View and Laraway recycling and disposal facilities, and collects recyclables and municipal trash in Will County. We believe it is important to support and give back to the communities

we serve. We are pleased to support The Salvation Army and are looking forward to the community center serving as a great recreational and education resource for Will County residents.” In addition to the new gym, computer lab, teen center and mobile canteen, the center offers social services, ESL courses, computer classes, senior programs, GED classes, health and nutrition classes, and more. The Center has a particular focus on programs for youth such as recreational, creative,

character-building and educational activities after school. The proximity of the Joliet and Will County Corps Community Center to local schools and the need for after-school programs was a major inspiration for The Salvation Army’s expansion. The recent community center renovation and addition was a $3.25 million project, made possible by the support of local residents, businessmen and the receipt of several substantial estate gifts to the Army.

Dental patients’ smiles shine for local foundation Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Patients who frequent the Shorewood Family Dental Care Clinic are getting clean teeth for a great cause next week, as the local dental office hosts a benefit event for Joliet OncologyHematology Associates Foundation. On April 13 from 3-7 p.m., the dental hygienists will offer professional cleanings in return for a $30 donation as part of the Wiggin’ Out benefit. JOHA is a multi-physician practice in Joliet with satellite offices in Morris, Flossmoor, Bolingbrook, and Glen Oaks. Currently JOHA has more than 100 employees to provide care to more than 5,000 patients. As an offshoot of the practice, The JOHA Foundation was formed in 2000 to help bridge the gap during treatment and recovery by providing support and education to cancer patients and their families. The hygienists at the center hope to raise enough funds through cleanings and other donations to pay for five wigs for women in need. The wigs range in price from $200-300. Reservations are requested and a donation holds the appointment. According to the clinic, only a few spots remain.

“It’s a really great opportunity to help out some women who don’t have insurance, or who are underinsured,” Hygienist Meredith Holcombe, Joliet Oncology Hermatology Associates Foundation “It’s crazy how much support we are getting,” said hygienist Meredith Holcombe. “It’s a really great opportunity to help out some women who don’t have insurance, or who are underinsured.” Holcombe said the dental center takes part in a variety of charitable activities throughout the year, and that the idea for this one came out of a desire to do something for mothers in need around Mother’s Day. The entire hygiene team at Shorewood Family Dental has been involved in the project, and reservations have hit 45 of 48 appointments they need to fill to hit their goal professional cleanings for the benefit of the foundation.

From the desk of Rep. Jim Sacia The Illinois Budget. - This is an effort to simplify a very complex problem involving billions of dollars. Our annual budget this next fiscal year is approximately $58 billion - of that amount, you the taxpayers are expected to send us $33 billion 719 million in tax dollars. The difference between those two numbers is money we receive as reimbursement from the federal government and some other sources. It is predominately motor fuel tax that is specifically designated for such things as roads and bridges. It is tax money that you pay each time you pull up to the pump and put gas in your car. It is not part of what

we call GRF or General Revenue Fund. Of the $33,719,000,000 GRF that you will send us, here is the breakdown of how it will be spent. First and foremost is non discretionary spending.These are obligations that must be made. Number 1 - Our pension obligation is $5.1 billion (this is the state’s portion of the pension expense not including the employee contributions). Number 2 is statutory transfer out money equaling $2.1 billion. This is money that we have collected and we owe a percentage back to local governments such as sales tax revenues.

Number 3 is our group insurance obligation totaling $1.2 billion. This is the state’s portion of the state workers’ insurance programs not including the employee contributions. Number 4 is our debt services or our obligation for money we have borrowed, both principle and interest, totaling approximately $2.2 billion. Number 5 is Medicaid. You the taxpayer are on the hook for $6 billion 638 million. (Our total Medicaid obligation this year is approximately $15 billion including federal reimbursements). Yes, you are right – tax payers are on the hook for all of it.

The above five “must be made” expenditures total approximately $17.2 billion. There is another $219 million in non-discretionary expenditures bringing the total to $17.419 billion. If you do the math that leaves $16,300,000,000 for the five appropriations committees to divide which is close to $1 billion less than available funds last year. If your eyes haven’t yet glazed over here is how it allocates out. Elementary and Secondary Education Appropriations receive 39.8 % of funding totaling $6 billion 491 million, a cut of $363 million.Higher Education receives 12.1% totaling $1.978 billion,a cut of $110 million. General Services

receives 7.1% or $1 billion 165 million dollars, a cut of 65 million. Human Services appropriations (Medicaid removed) receives 31.2% of funding totaling $5 billion 87 million, a cut of 284 million dollars. Public Safety appropriations receives 9.7% of funding or $1 billion 576 million, a cut of $88 million.

The Rotary Club of Bolingbrook is now seeking applicants to host an international exchange student from Denmark for the 20122013 academic school year. Families are being sought to host this outstanding young man for three 3-month periods from mid August 2012 to midJuly 2013. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience another culture and share a valuable exchange of ideas and languages. Youth exchange is a rewarding opportunity to make a lasting impact on our planet and in our community. Any family structure from empty nesters to households with young children to single parents is invited to apply. There is no strictly predefined “ideal” structure for a host family.The main criterion is the ability to provide a nurturing environment. An informational guide and pre-application can be found by visiting www. bolingbrookrotary.org. The only financial obligation a host family is undertaking is the food and shelter for the student. All other expenses, such as clothing and education are paid either by the student’s natural parents or by Rotary. Rotary even covers the student’s

pocket money (monthly allowance). The Rotary Club of Bolingbrook is very active in the student’s activities and has been facilitating youth exchanges in Bolingbrook for the past three decades.

About the Rotary Club of Bolingbrook Founded in 1975, Rotary Club of Bolingbrook meets each Tuesday at 12:15 p.m. at Ashbury’s on Boughton Road.

Tuck ends career as All-American By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

After ending her career at Bolingbrook and before her departure to the University of Connecticut, Morgan Tuck played in a pair of the most elite all star games in the nation.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Tuck first played her final prep game in the state of Illinois when she competed in the McDonald’s All-American Game at the United Center in Chicago. “The only time I really see the United Center is when I am watching the Bulls play and when I watch Derrick Rose play on that floor, so to get to play where he plays is a great honor,” Tuck said. “It was a pretty good game out there, I was really nervous at first and I think that is how a lot of us were. But talking to everyone on the bench, we were able to calm down.” In that game, Tuck tallied 18 points and sparked the West team in a second-half rally that saw them fall 79-78 when University of Tennessee-bound Bashaara Graves hit one of two free throws after she was fouled

with 0.3 seconds left. Tuck and fellow Voyager Media standout Jewell Loyd combined for a key basket late in the second half that pulled the West to within two points at 66-64. Loyd came up with a steal on the defensive end and fed Tuck for an basket inside hoop. “You just have to go out there and play,” Tuck said. “I am on a team with the best players in the country and we can go out there and play and do what we do best and just play the game.” It was only the second time in the history of the McDonald’s All-American Game that no male players from the state of Illinois were selected to compete, leaving the Illinois torch in the hands of Tuck, Loyd and Janee Thompson from Whitney Young, the team that eliminated Bolingbrook from the state playoffs in a four-overtime supersectional game.Thompson was on the winning East team at the McDonald’s game. “I told Janee that she got me twice in the same year,” Tuck said. “I wish she could have been on the same team as me and Jewell, but it was cool See TUCK, page 14

TUCK Continued from page 13 having three people out there from Chicago. To be one of the three players from Illinois was a great honor.” Tuck was able to guard McDonald’s Player of the Year Breanna Stewart, who will join Tuck at UCONN next season. Stewart hit a few athletic shots over Tuck late in the game. “I didn’t want to let her score, that’s for sure,” Tuck said. “But when she elevates it is hard to stop her and it will be fun to play with her next year. It was fun, we were talking on the court. We knew we would be guarding each other the whole

game and that was fun to play her because you don’t see a Breanna Stewart every day.” Tuck joked that the West team was at a disadvantage being blinded by the neon orange uniforms the East team was wearing, while Tuck and the East players were in camouflage uniforms with neon yellow numbers, similar to those wore by the Baylor University men’s team in the NCAA tournament. “The orange was bright,” Tuck laughed. “We got used to them. They are great uniforms. The best I ever saw. Adidas did a great job with them.” Tuck had the chance to play with Stewart as well as future teammate Moriah Jefferson at the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association High School All-

Lacrosse wins 18-11 The North Central College women’s lacrosse team took the University of Puget Sound’s best shots at Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium Sunday evening, then pressed on and finished with a scoring surge that decked the Loggers, 18-11, and gave the Cardinals their second win of the season.

NORTH CENTRAL North Central (2-5) saw the Loggers trim a large early deficit to a single goal early in the second period, but closed the game by outscoring the visitors, 8-2, over the final 20 minutes to post its first win over Puget Sound in four attempts. The Cardinals made their bid to put the game out of reach early by scoring the first six goals. Puget Sound (1-10) bounced back and closed the gap to 7-5 after scoring four unanswered goals in a 10-minute stretch. North Central’s Danielle Fiala and Jacqui Morgan scored successive goals in the final two minutes, but the Loggers

responded with two goals in the final 31 seconds to leave the halftime score at 9-7 in the hosts’ favor. Caroline Gully scored the initial goal of the second half, but the Loggers scored twice to cut North Central’s lead to 10-9. The Cardinals began the decisive rally of the night with 20:02 to play as Mallory Bahr scored off a pass from Morgan. North Central then got successive goals from Morgan and Rachael Houp in an

18-second span to gain some breathing room. North Central held the Loggers scoreless for the final 12:02, capping off the game with another goal from Bahr and two scores from Fiala. Fiala scored a game-high five goals for the Cardinals, while Morgan tallied four goals and Gully finished with three. Shannon Prince collected five ground balls and caused five turnovers, while Alison Musur recorded four draw controls.

Bolingbrook’s Brauer helps Flyers win Lewis baseball split a doubleheader with No. 21 Missouri S&T on Saturday (March 24) afternoon at Brennan Field. The day was highlighted by a straight steal of home by Lewis senior Mike Bolling (Chicago, Ill./Guerin Prep/Triton) and head coach Tim McDonough’s 100th career victory. Lewis took the opener 8-7 before falling in game two 2-1.

LEWIS “It’s great,” McDonough said of winning his 100th game. “Obviously the players are the ones out there winning the games, certainly not me.” Game one pitcher sophomore Tom Helwich (New Lenox, Ill./ Lincoln Way Central) started the day on the wrong foot by walking the first two batters of the game. He entered the contest with two walks on the season. Missouri S&T scored twice in the inning. However thanks to a pair of runs in the bottom of the first the game was even at two following an inning.

Lewis opened it up with three runs in the bottom of the second. Sophomore Kyle Kapka (Mount Prospect, Ill./Prospect) led the inning off with a solo home run. It was his second of the season. A sacrifice fly by Andrew Brauer (Bolingbrook, Ill./Montini/College of DuPage) scored sophomore Drew Buddle (Bartlett, Ill./South Elgin) for Lewis’ fourth run. Then things got fun when Bolling took off from third base and stole home. He easily beat the tag from the Missouri S&T catcher. “We talked about before if the opportunity comes up it’s something we might be able to do and we had the right guy out there in Mike to do it,” McDonough said. Brauer recorded an RBI in the fourth and Buddle added an RBI in the fifth to make it 7-3. It stayed that way until Missouri S&T scored four runs in the top of the eighth. It could have been worse as Missouri S&T left runners at second and third. The Missouri S&T rally meant

Helwich, who started the eighth, would get a no-decision. Helwich finished with the contest allowing six runs on nine hits in 7.1 innings. Lewis took the lead back in the bottom of the eighth on a two-out RBI single by Brauer. It scored Buddle who led the inning off with a single. Freshman Phil Warner (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North) entered in the ninth to pick up his third save of the season. Junior Kegan Banks (Dripping Springs,Texas/Dripping Springs/ Blinn CC) earned his first win in a Lewis uniform to push his record to 1-1. Bolling finished game one 3-of-3 with three runs scored and a walk. Brauer had three RBI on three hits. While game one saw 15 combined runs scored. Game two would see only three runs scored. It was Missouri S&T getting on the board first with run in the second. Lewis tied it in the third when Buddle, who started the inning with a double, scored on wild pitch.

Missouri S&T took the lead

Young Raiders gaining experience By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

After falling to local power Plainfield North 25-15 in the first set, the inexperienced Raiders could have thrown in the towel. But Bolingbrook did not, coming back from four point deficits on multiple occasions before coming up short, 25-22, in the second set last Wednesday at Plainfield North.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL The Raiders were down 12-8 and tied it at 12-12. Then they were down 16-12 and came back to tie it again and had it to 2321 before North finished it off. Service and hitting errors were a big reason why they couldn’t get over the hump. “The second set the started coming together more,” Bolingbrook coach Andrea Bercot said. “In the first set we had some lineup changes. We were working through that. The second game I think they were more comfortable and swinging harder. The errors (made a big difference) and I think a lot of that is contributed to nerves.” Bolingbrook is young and athletic, and the hope is early experiences against Plainfield North and Minooka will help them come conference time. “I want to maximize our athletic ability,” Bercot said. “I think if they do that and are consistent, the wins are going to come. We need to get comfortable playing each other who have never seen the varsity court. A lot of it right now is nerves.” The will the players have should be a big plus as they seem to be buying into the system. “I think they have the mentality that they want to improve,” Bercot said.“They aren’t satisfied until they are playing the way they know they can.” Right now it is about the Raiders capitalizing on their offensive potential to get over the hump against the better teams. “We need to work on our consistency with our offense,” Bercot stated. “We have guys who can jump and who are big. We’re just not putting away balls that need to be. If we can get our offense going and consistently serving, you will see a change

when we come to conference play.” Bolingbrook opened its season by placing fourth out of 16 teams at the Plainfield North Invite Saturday, March 24. They

took first place in their division to advance to Gold division play. There the Raiders lost to Minooka, the eventual champs, in straight sets before losing to

Lincoln-Way North in three sets in the third place match. “Our goal was to make it to the Gold (division) and they did,” Bercot said. “It’s definitely been a good start to the season and it

was a little bit of a confidence booster. I know they were very nervous that first match. They also have a Plainfield East win under the belt.” staylor@buglenewspapers.com

However Lewis had their chance in the sixth when they loaded the bases with one out.A fly out and a strikeout followed to end the inning. Lewis finished game two with just four hits. “We just didn’t make adjustments at the plate in game two,” McDonough said. “When you don’t make adjustments those one-run games are going to go the other way.” Senior Pat Lahey (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove South) pitched a complete game seven innings in the loss. His record is now 2-1. He struck out five while allowing seven hits. Missouri S&T is now 13-4 (3-1 Great Lakes Valley Conference). Lewis is 11-5 (4-2 GLVC). The Flyers welcome Drury to Brennan Field on Sunday for a noon doubleheader. Earlier in the week, Lewis baseball split a doubleheader at UIS on Wednesday afternoon. The Prairie Stars won the opener 9-6 while Lewis responded with an 8-7 victory in game two. While Lewis and UIS are both members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, the games were played as non-conference games. Things started great for the Flyers in game two. Lewis scored three runs in the first inning and chased the UIS starter before he earned a single out. The Flyers scored the three runs without a single multi-base hit. Lewis made it 4-0 in the second when freshman Anthony Baldassano (Woodridge, Ill./Nazareth) scored on a two-out wild pitch. Lewis put another three spot on the board in the third. The big hit in the inning was a two-RBI triple by junior Brian Norwood (Medinah, Ill./Lake Park). Norwood came around on a single by Baldassano to make it 7-0. All this went on while Lewis starter Phil Warner (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North) was cruising. He allowed no runs, no walks and three hits while recording five strikeouts in five innings. He was lifted to start the sixth and that’s when things got rocky. Back-to-back Lewis relievers allowed seven straight UIS batters to reach base. Junior Matt Frahm (Olympia, Ill./

Olympia) was brought in and while got Lewis out of the inning four batters later; all seven of the Prairie Stars to reach base had come around to score and tie the game up. The seven run sixth meant Warner couldn’t earn his first collegiate victory in his first collegiate start. While he didn’t get the decision Warner stays nearly unhittable in 2012. In his five appearances, he has allowed only four hits and hasn’t walked a batter in 10.0 innings Lewis didn’t let the shock of giving up a seven-run lead get them too down as Brauer singled to start the seventh. He stole second but after back-to-back strikeouts it looked like he may be stranded in scoring position. Then stepped to the plate senior Mike Wido (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers

Grove North). Wido singled to score Brauer and give Lewis an 8-7 lead. Frahm pitched a 1-2-3 seventh to earn the win and move his record to 2-1. Norwood finished game two with three runs knocked in. Brauer had three hits, two runs scored and an RBI. “Phil pitched extremely well,” Lewis head coach Tim McDonough said. “Mike had the big two out hit that we needed.” The win in game two came after a three-run setback in game one. Lewis put a run on the board in their half of the first, only to see UIS score four in the bottom of the first. Lewis came back in the second to score four runs of their own and chase the UIS starter. Bolling, who scored Lewis’ run

in the first inning, knocked in a pair of runs in the second with a bases loaded single. Sophomore Drew Buddle (Bartlett, Ill./ South Elgin) scored to tie it at four, before Brauer knocked in Bolling to make it 5-4. It would be Lewis’ final lead of the game as UIS scored five runs in the bottom of the third. Lewis plated one in the fifth but also left two runners on. The Flyers left one on in the sixth and two in the seventh to end the game. Senior Michael Schroeder (Crown Point, Ind./North Newton/Triton) took the loss for the Flyers. He allowed seven runs (four earned) in 2.0 innings. His record is now 1-1. “We did not play well today and we are going to have to play much better this weekend,” McDonough said.

Gladstone, Kentucky winners

STANDINGS Edward Gladstone 105 Scott Taylor 101 Katie Hartanovich 98 Chris Askew 98 Briana Wilder 98 Joe Sparaciao 90 Dan Leach 88 Gary Taylor 79 Marge Taylor 77 Tom Harper 77 Brian Dudczyk 76 Dave Hartanovich 74 Brian Dunn 73 Note: Bold not eligible for top prizes By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

Congratulations to Edward Gladstone of Romeoville for winning the 2012 Voyager Media Madness contest. Gladstone picked Kentucky to win it all and finished with 105 points. For his efforts he is the winner of the $100 grand prize. I finished in second place with 101 points, but am not eligible for a cash prize. That makes it a big tie for second place, with Plainfield’s Brianna Widler and Katie

Ohio State (2)

(1) Kentucky (2) Kansas

(1) Kentucky Champion (1) Kentucky (4) Louisville Hartanovich and Westmont’s Chris Askew, all of who picked Kentucky as well. Each contestant will win $25. To claim your prize please go to the Voyager Media Office at 23856 Andrew Road in Plainfield. A photo ID is required to prove you are at least 18 years of age. As for the NCAA championship, John Calipari finally broke through and won the NCAA title. This Kentucky team has been dominant throughout the season. The Wildcats lost just two games all year, despite playing a lot of younger players.

Kansas (2) They stormed through the tournament, never really being in danger of losing, except for a brief moment against Louisville. The question now that will be brought up and already has been is if Kentucky winning the championship with one-anddone players is bad for the game. I personally think it is. While Kentucky fans will be just concerned about the title (as any team would), I feel it hurts the integrity of the game. In essence, you can go out and get the top three one-and-done players every year, and compete for a title, while the other teams

have to fight each other for a few other top talents. Some will say there is nothing wrong with this, especially if he is recruiting players the right way. However, others will argue that this is making a mockery out of the system of having to wait for the pros for a year. Calipari doesn’t even have to do much of the recruiting anymore. He can tell the players that he has a proven track record of sending off top 10 draft picks after the year and competing for championships every year. Granted, he has had the perfect

storm this year; something he was missing all the way back to his Memphis days. They had a dominant gamechanging big man, which was the difference. The young team played defense unlike many other freshmen and sophomores. They also shot free throws and the three-point shot better than the past few years. In the end, it doesn’t mean this will happen every year, but the blueprint is made, so the Wildcats could get all the top players in the future. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Travel

Changes spice up northern Europe While the countries of southern Europe struggle with financial instability, those living in northern Europe are in stronger shape, thanks to their ability to produce more while consuming less. It remains to be seen to what degree they will continue to bail out their less fiscally responsible neighbors. But one thing’s certain: Travelers to Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia will encounter their share of renovations, red tape, and reinvigorated neighborhoods and sights this year. Berlin remains one of Europe’s most exciting and affordable capitals. The city has been busy updating and expanding several communist sights, including the Berlin Wall Memorial, the DDR Museum, with a quirky collection of communist-era artifacts, and the new but underwhelming Stasi Museum, featuring exhibits on East Germany’s state security service. Unfortunately, visitors to the Reichstag - Germany’s inspirational parliament building - must now make an online reservation in advance to tour its impressive glass dome (www. bundestag.de). If it’s not too crowded, you may be able to get in without a reservation, though it’s unlikely. In Munich, the Lenbachhaus, featuring early Modernist art, and the Halls of the Nibelungen at the Residenz remain closed for renovation and are projected to reopen in 2013. In Wurzburg, the opulent chapel at the Residenz is undergoing restoration and should open to visitors in mid2012, while St. Kilian’s Cathedral will be closed for renovation until the end of the year. The classy horse races near BadenBaden have resumed, with three sessions happening in May,

August, and October. Several new walking tour offerings can help spice up your German adventure. In Rothenburg, the country’s best-preserved medieval walled town, you can now do a walking-tour double feature. Start by strolling the town on the Executioner’s Tour, a macabre hour with Georg Lehle costumed as a 14th-century executioner, then follow it up with the long-recommended Night Watchman’s Tour, accompanied by gritty tales of old-time Rothenburg. If you’re saddled with a long wait at Frankfurt’s airport, the Frankfurt Layover Tour offers a unique way to kill time. Offered by Frankfurt on Foot, the tour lasts at least three hours but can be tailored to your interests and time, and includes pick-up and drop-off at the airport. Changes are also afoot in Switzerland, Germany’s neighbor to the south. In the Swiss capital of Bern, the bears are back. Two years ago, Finn (a male from Finland) and Bjork (a female from Denmark) moved into Bern’s terraced Bear Park and got busy; soon afterward they welcomed female cubs Ursina and Berna. In Lausanne, the Olympic Museum will be closed for renovation until late 2013.During this time, you can still enjoy the park and see the Olympic flame. A temporary floating exhibit, moored just across the street from the park, will feature a taste of the museum’s collection. Considering how hot the Mediterranean region is in the summer, vacationing in Nordic

Copenhagen’s Kodbyen district is home to a number of trendy eateries, including BioMio, a fresh and 100-percent organic take on a traditional cafeteria, located in the old Bosch building.

Europe has become a hit in July and August. As usual, the biggest changes are taking place in the capital cities. In Denmark, Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District, Kodbyen, is one of the city’s most upand-coming destinations for restaurants and nightlife. Located behind the main train station, the neighborhood is filled with trendy galleries and eateries that mingle with surviving offices and warehouses for the local meatpacking industry. In Oslo, Norway, damaged buildings in the Grunerlokka neighborhood now bear a poignant tribute to the events of July 22, 2011 - when an antiimmigration lunatic killed eight people in the city with a car bomb before shooting and killing 69 more at a Labor Party summer camp. Permanent memorials will

eventually be built at the sites of the tragedies. In 2014, the Swedish capital of Stockholm will welcome a new commuter rail line that’s being built beneath its main train station (until then, expect lots of construction). The city is also welcoming a new breed of tourist: fans of Stieg Larsson’s punked-out computer hacker heroine, Lisbeth Salander, and jaded journalist hero, Mikael Blomkvist. Set in Stockholm and shot here, the Hollywood version of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is making the cityscape more recognizable. Just south of the Old Town, the Sodermalm neighborhood is the primary setting of the books. It’s here that fans will find Kvarnen, an oldstyle pub in which Lisbeth hangs out with an all-girl punk band,

and the Mellqvist cafe, where the love-struck Lisbeth sees Mikael kiss his mistress. Fans can also visit the City of Stockholm Museum, which displays Larsson artifacts,features a reconstruction of Mikael’s office at Millennium magazine, and offers Millennium walking tours in English. Despite a few hassles, northern Europe remains one of the easiest places to travel, whether it’s a spring fling to Germany, an alpine adventure in the Swiss Alps, or a summertime swing through Scandinavia.

Real Estate & Business

THE BUGLE APRIL 5, 2012

The real costs of today’s health care This has been a hot business and personal finance topic lately, especially in the wake of “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”, better known as “Obamacare”, current Supreme Court hearings regarding the Act’s constitutionality, and this being an election year. I’d put the healthcare costs debate into four categories – medical providers, insurance companies, the legal system, and last but not least… the government.Although each could be a whole article or book, I’ll go easy on the former three here, and to paraphrase Dave Ramsey, punch the latter right in the face. Many people think medical providers are highly paid. In some cases this may be true, but as usual, I have a personal story. A few months ago I had an outpatient procedure that took two preparatory office visits, a two and a half hour surgery plus prep and recovery time, and two

follow-up visits. The highly educated and skilled surgeon billed insurance approximately $5,900. The insurance c o m p a n y disallowed over $4,700 because they can,and the medical providers take it because two-thirds of patients without insurance don’t pay. Insurance only paid $1,100 and my portion is $121 after meeting my deductible with other medical bills. For three hours of that surgeon’s time, minus paying his staff, overhead, malpractice insurance, legal fees, etc., that’s not overpaid in my opinion. I mentioned that insurance companies dictate payments to medical providers, similarly to federal Medicare and state Medicaid. Another major concern

is increasing premiums. As the insured population becomes older and sicker, costs increase. Therefore premiums also increase. Currently when someone has a personal Medicare supplemental insurance policy, which is already structured by the government, they can change companies to get into a new “pool” of policyholders and save premiums. With Medicare, which is partially funded with a mandatory payroll tax on employees and employers, coverage is required, premiums are withheld from Social Security, and the program is administered by the federal government and subsidized with federal general revenues. There is no opt-out, premiums continue to rise,and the trust funds continue to deplete. That’s how our government-run system works so far. The legal system has been scrutinized as a cause for high healthcare costs including

malpractice insurance premiums. In 2005, law professors from Duke Law School published an article titled “Judicial Hellholes: Medical Malpractice Claims, Verdicts and the Doctor Exodus in Illinois”. More recently, in August 2010, the AMA released a study analyzing survey responses from over 5,800 physicians that 42 percent are sued at some point in their career, including 6 of 10 who practice until age 55 or older. By specialty, general surgery and obstetriciangynecology tops the list at 69 percent. Over half of OB-GYNs surveyed were sued twice or more in their careers. However, a Chicago area medical malpractice lawyer disputes the connection to healthcare costs stating that the “Congressional Budget Office reports that medical malpractice amounts to less than two percent of overall healthcare spending.” Unless something changes, the above-referenced Act is fully

effective in 2014. Businesses and individuals will be required to have health insurance or be fined by the IRS. Meanwhile, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee warned that as many as 16,500 new IRS auditors and investigators, or a 17 percent increase in IRS workforce could be needed to administer and enforce the new health insurance rules. I don’t have the answers, but when you get behind a political candidate this year because of what he or she is going to provide for you, consider what it’s going to cost you, and your children, your children’s children, etc. God Bless America, please!

Is it OK to use a credit card for monthly bills? Dear Dave, I want to keep one of our credit cards open and use the bill-pay option for utilities and other monthly bills. I want to do this so we can continue earning rewards points, and the way I look at it, we’d just be rerouting the money and paying it off every month. My husband doesn’t like this idea and thinks we should get rid of them all. Am I just asking for trouble by wanting to keep the rewards card open? Cheryl Dear Cheryl, Yes, you are. Life never works out exactly the way you think it

will. You can make all the well-reasoned and bestintentioned plans you want, but sooner or later that snake is going to bite you. The only thing I’d consider in a situation like this is a debit card that has a rewards system attached. Lots of debit card programs offer the same kinds of rewards programs offered by credit card companies, with one big exception—you don’t have to go into debt!

You need to stop chasing these stupid brownie points, Cheryl. According to Consumer Reports, 78 percent of credit card airline miles are never redeemed.Studies also show that people spend more when using credit cards as opposed to cash. That extra money you spend on things you don’t need is money you could have been saving and investing. So, where’s the reward? Cut up the card and close the account, Cheryl. You don’t build wealth by using credit cards! —Dave Dear Dave, My wife and I are both active duty Marines. She’s planning to

get out in a few months, but I’m staying in for the long haul. You recommend saving 15 percent for retirement, but how does that apply in my case when I’ll be getting a good pension after 20 years? James Dear James, I’d like to see you do both. Just imagine the money you guys would have for retirement with your military pension and a big pile of cash from having saved 15 percent of your income over the years. Having options is a great thing. Think about all the things you could do down the road if you

save for retirement and have your pension in place.You could pay cash for a home, or even open a business when you retire from the military. And these are things you probably wouldn’t be able to do working with just your service pension. You’ve got a great future if you’ll just keep plugging along and saving, James. Let the military do its thing, and you guys keep pumping 15 percent of your income into Roth IRAs and other pre-tax retirement plans. It’s going to be pretty cool! — Dave * For more financial help please visit daveramsey.com.
