LEED-ING THE WAY Fountaindale Library earns Gold certification in sustainable design

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Jonathan Samples/ Bugle Staff

The new Fountaindale Library building achieved LEED Gold status and is beginning the final stages of its construction project.

The Fountaindale Public Library has recently been awarded the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification, but the project isn’t over yet.

Construction of the new library building was completed in March 2011 and it was awarded LEED Gold certification in February of this year.

Schools consider pros, cons of full day kindergarten

By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Spring is here and for area schools, that means it is time for kindergarten registration. Along with signing up the little ones comes a bigger debate, over the costs and benefits of a full-day kindergarten option.

Valley View School District, which serves students in Bolingbrook and Romeoville, is in the beginning of an expansion and renovation plan in anticipation of a full-day kindergarten option at its dozen elementary schools this fall.

Families in District 365U offered overwhelming support for a full-day option with more than 80 percent supporting the idea. However, it’s an expensive notion, as classroom spaces need to be made larger and total expansion could cost about $12 million.

Costs like these in school systems already strapped for cash are what account for the debate. Some districts have opted for parents to pay a fee, usually several hundred dollars, to enroll youngsters in a full-day program. But in other communities, even that option is not feasible. According to the Illinois Board of Education, 1651 schools in Illinois offer full-day kindergarten programs; 332 offer half-day programs; and 338 offer both options to families.

In Plainfield, space and monetary constraints have left the district opting to continue traditional half-day kindergarten.

“District 202 simply doesn’t have the physical space to house the kids, nor the money to hire the staff needed at this time,” said spokesperson Tom Hernandez, adding that not enough research has been studied within the district to know how a full-day program might impact students, compared to a half-day program.

“As we’ve said for a long time, we are in a unique situation because of the explosive growth we experienced. No one grew as much, or as fast as we did,” Hernandez said.

The district’s 2011-16 Strategic Plan includes a feasibility study of implementing a full-day kindergarten program.

Despite the costs and logistical implications, educators seem to agree on the benefits of a full-day program.

“Without citing specific research, full day kindergarten is allowing schools to better address the needs of our current students,” said Jennifer BertinoTarrant, Will County’s Regional Superintendent of Schools.

“With so many children attending pre-K programs, students are able to work successfully in a full day. In addition, the requirement and the changes in statewide standards support a more rigorous curriculum.”

Still, children are different, and have different needs, making the dual-offering a great option for many schools.

“While I, personally, support a full day program, I do not dismiss that some students still may need a half-day program,” Bertino said.

“Unfortunately, budget restraints usually require school districts to look at cutting non-mandated program. Full-day kindergarten is usually such a cut.

Some school districts, determined to find a way to provide full-day kindergarten to families, are looking beyond the walls of their own schools, and partnering with private schools, park districts, and other institutions to enhance the kindergarten curriculum.

Minooka Grade School District, which also serves students in Shorewood, has no space to keep its students in a full-day program but officials are considering a proposal to join forces with Kinderbridge to offer full-day programs to students in kindergarten.

Kinderbridge offers a Montessori-style school experience. Students enrolled in kindergarten or any Grundy County preschool could attend Kinderbridge before or after their normal classroom time.The program costs $78 a week, and will be offered on-site at Walnut Trails, Jones Elementary and

Minooka Elementary schools.

In addition to being able to offer a program parents desire, the district will receive rent and

Officials come together to combat heroin ‘epidemic’

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Advocates of drug abuse counseling and treatment, atrisk youth, and law enforcement were brought together for the HERO and HELPS event at Lewis University last Friday.

Will County’s Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization and Heroin Education Leads to Preventative Solutions organized the event, which included educational sessions, a resource fair, a youth

rally and a community forum with numerous Will County officials.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh, States Attorney James Glasgow, Judge Ray Nash and State. Rep. Pat McGuire all took part in the community forum, which followed the day’s educational sessions. Panelists tried stressing the severity of what they call an “epidemic” of heroin use in Will County.

“Of all the stupid, silly things my generation did, heroin was

not one of them,” Nash said.

“My generation has a hard time realizing this is a problem. I encourage all of you, all of the professionals here to talk to their young ones.”

Glasgow gave the discussion a legal perspective.

“We can’t just keep pulverizing people for possession of drugs,” he said. “Every dollar we spend on prevention, I’m convinced we save $20-30 down the road.”

Will County officials sat on the panel with doctors, counselors

and a person in recovery. The goal of the forum was to provide myriad perspectives about the dramatic increase in heroin use and overdose deaths in Will County over the past three years and to answer audience questions about the epidemic.

“I am a heroin addict myself,” said Bill Patrianakos, who sits on the HERO board of directors, “And I’m here to answer questions from the perspective of someone who’s been there.”

Dr.Jeff Coady,PsyD and regional

administrator for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, spoke to the importance of gatherings like the HERO and HELPS event in raising awareness.

“You have families, parents and grandparents out here,” Coady said. “That’s the type of mobilization it’s going to take to beat this epidemic.”

The event ended with a youth rally later Friday evening. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Mistwood owner buys Ditka’s dome, planning renovation Sherri Dauskurdas Staff reporter

As spring is upon us and area golf courses fill up, Mistwood Golf Course officials will take work indoors to prep an offcourse location just bought in Bolingbrook.

Jim McWethy, who owns

LEED Continued from page 1 However, Fountaindale’s executive director Paul Mills said the project has one final phase.

“Our project this year is to actually complete the basement,” Mills said.“The board made the decision early on to leave the final configuration of the basement until the building was actually open.”

Completion of the basement will include a new digital media center, Mills said.

“This is a growing trend in public libraries across the nation,” he said.“We are looking to create a space where all the patrons of our community can come to create digital content.”

The library has put out a prequalification for bids on the project and is waiting to know just how much the digital media center would cost. However, Mills said it would fall within the original budget for the entire project.

“The funds for this are coming out of the original construction funding, Mills said. “We are not

Mistwood in Romeoville, has purchased the popular Ditka’s Sports Dome in nearby Bolingbrook, and plans to spend the warm weather renovating the restaurant area, changing the name and making other enhancements to the facility.

The 10-year-old dome which boasts an indoor golf driving

range and putting area, as well as a small restaurant, was named for famous former Chicago Bears Coach Mike Ditka, but Ditka himself was never involved in the facility.

The restaurant and bar area will be closed for about a month of renovations while the management team develops

a new name and concept.

The dome, located at 730 N. Bolingbrook Drive will re-open after the summer season. Owners said it will be dedicated to golf and dining, and be managed by staff from Mistwood, which itself is undergoing a major investment in renovations.

The $6 million Mistwood

project, which began in fall 2011, is expected to give the club a five-star rating and provide banquet space to the Romeoville community. Renovations include a new clubhouse, restaurant with 32,000 square feet of space, and golf learning center for winter use, alongside redevelopment of the 202-acre course.

seeking additional funding.”

The library set a budget of $39.5 million for the entire project, which included construction of the new library building, demolition of the old building, construction of a new parking area, and landscaping.

The project, which broke ground in August 2009, took 19 months for the new building to be ready for occupancy.

Everything was moved into the new building in March 2011.

LEED certification, Mills said, was one of the project’s main goals from the outset.

The library board had initially set out simply to achieve the lowest LEED certification, but realized they could reach Gold status and still remain within their budget.

“Peggy Danhof, our board president, stated that making this a LEED certified building was her primary objective,” Mills said. It was a strong desire to make this building using environmentally friendly techniques, environmentally friendly materials and operate it in a manner that it would be environmentally friendly going forward.”

According to its website, the

U.S. Green Building Council is a “non-profit organization committed to a prosperous and sustainable future for our nation through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings.”

The Council awards various levels of certification to different types of buildings, ranging from government facilities to private residences.

The different levels of LEED certification are based on a point system, which awards points in six categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources,indoor environmental quality, and innovation in design.

Gold certification is the second highest level of certification and requires buildings achieve between 60 – 79 points out of a possible 110.

The Fountaindale Public Library undertook a number of initiatives to achieve the requirements set by the U.S. Green Building Council in order to obtain a Gold certification.

Installation of a “green roof” allowed Fountaindale to manage storm water runoff, provide insulation and reduce the buildings impact as a heat island; new water fixtures allow the building to be over 40 percent more efficient; recycling procedures during construction cause over 20 percent of building materials to be recycled; and controlled lighting and the use of day lighting will cut down on energy use.

Mills said the library is expected to cut back on total energy use and water use but

said it is hard to translate that into exact monetary savings.

“Its not really an apples to apples comparison,” he said.

“It’s hard to find two libraries that are exactly alike. We trust the LEED certification process when they say you’re going to save on your electricity bill [and] you’re going to save on your water efficiency.We do not have an estimate.”

Parents, teachers voice concerns to school board

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Hundreds of teachers, parents, and community members came out to hear the verdict over a number of initiatives that stand to change the face of the Valley View School District 365U, from all-day kindergarten to middle school interventions to a reduction in force process.

Forecasting a large crowd, the School Board moved Monday’s meeting to Lukancic Middle School to accommodate the expected dialogue. Visitors in the standing room only crowd addressed the board, most in opposition to a new middle school intervention program, Odyssey; others curious about the possibility of all-day kindergarten; and most teachers in attendance concerned over a RIF process that originally called for hundreds of teachers to be laid off.

In the end, the total number of employees receiving a RIF notice reached 430 employees with an estimation that approximately 60 staff members will be laid off. A total of 266 teachers will be sent a RIF notice, with administration estimating that approximately 30 will not be recalled. In addition, 164 support staff will be riffed, with approximately 30 of those individuals not expected to be recalled.

Furthermore, the board

continued with moves that fed the emotionally-charged audience; met with applause, all-day kindergarten became official with the passing of a final construction contract; and despite outspoken opposition and with board members stating the district needed to act now to help its students, the controversial Odyssey program was approved.

According to Assistant Superintendent for Middle School and High School Rachel Kinder, the objective of Odyssey, an online program, is to be part of an academic intervention plan for middle school that will help prepare students with the prerequisite knowledge to prepare them for high school and beyond. Students having difficulty in core areas of math and reading would be given online instruction during the class period of careers instruction, which is art, music, family and consumer sciences, and applied tech instruction.

Teachers and parents cried out for the inclusion of the arts and music, stating its importance to student’s well being.

Kinder said career instruction is not being eliminated, and explained that students will use Odyssey depending on his or her level of need, and instruction will occur two or three times a week in most cases. Those that have significant need will have

the instruction for five days a week.

According to data taken from recently implemented tests like MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) and EXPLORE, 60 percent or higher of students in grades 6 through 8 do not meet the benchmarks for College and Career-Readiness as defined by those tests.

Those statistics and research debating the success of the Odyssey program were at the heart of the discontent over the implementation of the program.

Teachers spoke out, frustrated with MAP testing, saying it sets standards for students a grade level higher than where they are, leading to unrealistic pressure.

School administration replied that state standards are being drastically changed and that the district needs to catch up, putting in place interventions that will prepare its students.

Before the vote, one teacher from R.C. Hill pleaded with the board to use Odyssey as a pilot program. Parents and teachers questioned the merit of the program and its success, calling on the administration to trust its

teachers to let them do their job and teach without bringing in yet another program.

“Don’t waste more money on yet another program, there are other options and better choices,” said one parent.

“We don’t want to experiment with programs,” said another.

However, the administration and the board ultimately agreed, saying the district’s subpar curriculum is to blame, and that the district needs to move forward and put in place more rigorous curriculum to reach new benchmarks.

“If I had a nickel for every time I heard the word rigor I could put my three kids through college,” said parent Suzanne Hurdle. “We get it. We need rigor. I think we all want that… We all want the students to succeed. …But we also have to look at the socioeconomic side and ask whether or not we want our kids to be a well-rounded citizen of the world.”

District Superintendent James Mitchem said this is the direction the district is pursuing and it is to be considered long-term,“as least as long as I am superintendent.”

Mitchem sent a letter over spring break to all personnel and he reiterated several points at Monday’s meeting, summarize his point. “We made a pledge to the students, staff and families of the Valley View School District to increase the rigor of our curriculum to ensure that our students can make choices in their post secondary lives by matching the expectations of curriculum and rigor with the federal and state governments.

This increase in rigor requires that a college prep curriculum be at our floor, not our ceiling. A second commitment was to reallocate resources to the primary level to ensure our students are appropriately prepared from the start. A third was to ensure that our middle school students do not progress to high school without the necessary prerequisite background knowledge. This administration has held to this pledge regardless of the expected trepidation that comes with systemic change.”

Biggert addresses seniors on Medicare ‘myths’ House ‘Path to Prosperity’ budget faces criticism on Medicaid, Medicare proposals

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Hinsdale) stepped away from Washington last week to meet with her constituents in District 13 to discuss the U.S. House 2012 budget proposal.

“It’s great to be anywhere but Washington these days,” Biggert joked with a group of residents of the McKenzie Falls Senior Community last Thursday. “It’s good to have the opportunity to talk to people in the district…

There’s a lot of misinformation out there, particularly about Medicare.”

Biggert gave a brief presentation about the federal deficit and the House budget proposal. After the presentation, the event took a town hall format and attendees asked the representative questions about what the House budget means for Medicare and Medicaid.

Biggert hoped to erase some of the “myths” Republicans say exist concerning the budget and what the budget calls Medicare “reforms.”

Republicans released their “Path to Prosperity” budget in March. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan penned the plan.

In addition to simplifying the tax code and increasing military spending, the budget would reform programs, including Medicaid and Medicare, in an effort to lower the deficit over the next decade.

According to the proposed budget, “For those workers currently under the age of 55, beginning in 2023, those seniors would be given a choice of private

plans competing alongside the traditional fee-for-service option on a newly created Medicare Exchange.

“Medicare would provide a premium-support payment either to pay for or offset the premium of the plan chosen by the senior.”

Biggert said that people born before 1957 would not see any changes to the current Medicare structure. But during her town hall meeting, contention grew over the under-55 proposal, which many believe would force people to choose between different private insurers.

Christine Johnson, 45, has worked in the healthcare industry and asked about options people under age 55 would have when deciding on health insurance.

Johnson said her office preferred Medicare to private insurance.

“I worked in a nursing home for many years, and the commercial insurances were always a big

problem for the patient and us,” Johnson said. “I don’t know that that’s going to be such a great idea.”

Biggert said, based on her knowledge, patients could choose between a current Medicare option and a private company option. However, she added that the particulars are yet to be worked out.

“I don’t think those details have been developed yet,” Biggert said.

Bob O’Keefe, 58, related his experiences with Medicaid. He said he was given the option between two private insurers and described a process that was filled with uncertainty and headaches.

“The person they sent to help us couldn’t answer one question, but we had to make a choice between Aetna and Illinicare,” O’Keefe said. “The privatizing of everything is not all that good.

There’s got to be something

better than what they’re doing now.”

The Medicaid reforms posted in Ryan’s Path to Prosperity budget would convert the federal share of spending into state block grants.

But some have argued that the block grant system would equate to cuts to the overall program in the long run.

“I understand they have to cut somewhere, but it depends on what they’re going to cut,” O’Keefe said after the meeting ended. “Until they tell us exactly what they’re going to cut, it’s hard to give a real answer about how I feel.”

Biggert cautioned that the budget aims to primarily reform programs like Medicare.

“It’s not really a cut,” Biggert said.“It’s just a change in the way that the plan works.What we talk about is to strengthen the plan

and to save it, otherwise it will go broke.”

However, with a Democratcontrolled Senate, many have already written off any hopes of the budget passing. Some say it’s more about raising healthcare issues just in time for the 2012 election season.

Biggert reflected this sentiment but stressed the need for Senate budget work.

“Usually the way that the process is supposed to work is the House does a bill and the Senate does a bill on the same subject,” Biggert said.

But Johnson just isn’t convinced.

“From different things that I’ve read, I don’t think it’s going to actually happen,” she said.“It’s scary. It’s very scary.” jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Frustrations outflank your fantasies. Right now, it seems that you can’t achieve a compromise or come to an agreement. In the week ahead, take stock of what it is that you want and let that come first.

Accept responsibilities and don’t avoid unpleasant tasks.

Once the worst is over in the first half of the week, everything gets better. Double check your alarm clock, as lateness could earn black marks.

Speaking to a brick wall only causes echoes. A lack of understanding could block agreement. Wait until later in the week to make a presentation, discuss plans, or to talk over an important situation.

Don’t make waves.

Bite back a tendency to criticize - and remember that no one likes to hear, “I told you so.” In the first part of the week, your ability to influence and charm a partner hits a low point.

The week may start off on a sour note, but sweet things may come your way by the end of it. Don’t fight the current; hold off on key decisions and negotiations for several days. Patience will pay off.

Never prepare to sunbathe on a cloudy day. Maintain a low profile for the next few days when it is likely that worries will obscure happiness and aggravations seem to be magnified. Watch your pennies this week.

You might feel like a rat in a maze. When you try to find the prize, you end up running into dead ends. It is wisest to wait until late in the week to make major decisions or changes; avoid unpredictability.

You can’t make hay on a rainy day. Your judgment could be skewed in the first part of the week, so hold off on making key decisions or finalizing important deals.

Attend to pressing obligations.

Keep a lid on it. In the week ahead, don’t join a chorus of criticisms just to seem agreeable to your companions. You could be left in an awkward position when opinions shift.

While it is admirable to be a model of efficiency, don’t micromanage every detail. This isn’t the right time to offer criticism, as others will take it the wrong way. Hold off decisions until midweek.

Don’t make mountains out of molehills. In the early part of the week, don’t draw attention to your own shortcomings or mistakes, or find fault with others because it may cause further problems.

The week ahead holds some surprises. You might find people to be a bit difficult to deal with in the first half of the week - and unpredictable in the second. Don’t make changes in your banking habits.

Junior makes All-State team

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Mark Gregory/Bugle staff

Bolingbrook’s Ben Moore made the IBCA All-Statre team.

Bolingbrook forward Ben Moore has been named to the Illinois Basketball C o a c h e s Association AllState team.

The6-foot, 7-inch junior averaged 17 points, eight rebounds and four blocks per game during the season and for that is a member of the IBCA All-State fourth team.

This season, Moore posted season high totals of 26 points, 19 rebounds and 11 blocks along with recording a triple double (17 points, 11 rebounds and11 blocks) against Springfield Lanphier.

“I was a little surprised that I made the team,” Moore said.

Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost is never surprised at Moore’s humility.

“He has worked really hard and

he put up big numbers,” Brost said.

“He was consistent all year and he remains humble and when you do that, good things come your way.”

Making the All-State team as a junior is something Moore said will only make him work harder, but not so he can repeat as a member of the team.

“I want to work harder so we can win next year as a team,” Moore said.

“He is already in the gym and he has high aspirations for himself, but more so for the team,” Brost said. “He is bringing notoriety to the program.

He has a target now because he won this as a junior. It is a nice honor. He has to continue to work hard and not sit back now that he was named to the team. He is a really good player, now he has to work hard to be elite.”

Moore is the second Bolingbrook basketball player in the last four years to make the IBCA All-State team, as Diamond Taylor earned the honor in 2009.

Currently, Moore has scholarship offers from University of California, Irvine, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Minnesota State. mark@buglenewspapers.com

LEWIS BASEBALL Lewis scored in 11 of the 13 innings they batted, and received a pair of complete game performances on the mound to sweep a Great Lakes Valley Conference baseball doubleheader at Kentucky Wesleyan on Sunday (April 15) afternoon 7-4 and 15-5 (7 innings). Lewis was the home team in both contests as they were originally home games for the Flyers until the threat of rain moved the contests to Kentucky.

The Flyers fell behind 4-1 after three innings in game one.

Lewis tied the game thanks to three runs in the fourth. The big hit in the fourth was a double by senior Mike Bolling (Chicago, Ill./Guerin Prep/Triton) with the bases loaded. It scored a pair of runs. A passed ball scored junior Ian O’Connor (Orland Park, Ill./ Sandburg) for Lewis’ fourth run.

Game two was an offensive explosion for the Flyers. Lewis scored in every inning and hit four home runs. Sophomore Ben Albano (West Dundee, Ill./ Jacobs) hit a two-run shot in the first to tie the game. Junior Brian Norwood (Medinah, Ill./Lake Park) led off the second with

a solo home run. Sophomore Kyle Huber (Chicago, Ill./Lane Tech) hammered a two-run home run in the fifth. Senior Andrew Brauer (Bollingbrook, Ill./Montini/College of DuPage) slammed a three-run home run in the sixth.“One through nine today everybody had great approaches at the plate,” McDonough said.“Days like this are fun days to hit and the guys took advantage.“ Brauer finished game two with four RBI. Huber knocked in three runs. Every Flyer scored in the contest.The game was halted after seven innings when Lewis scored their 15th run of the game in the seventh to go

up by 10 runs.

Kentucky Wesleyan starter Tyler Edge took the loss for the Panthers. He is now 3-3.

Schroeder started for the Flyers and went the entire seven innings. His record is now 4-1. He allowed five runs (three earned) on 10 hits and six strikeouts.

Like senior Pat Lahey (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove South) on Saturday and Helwich in game one, Schroeder didn’t walk a single batter.

“Over the last three games we didn’t walk a single batter,” McDonough said. “On day like this that’s important to not give any free bases.”

Raiders still trying to get pieces together

It is a rare occasion when two high schools in the same school district are in different athletic conferences.

SOFTBALL That is the case with the schools of Valley View School District.

neighboring schools keep the friendly rivalry up in all sports.

While the games are back on the schedule starting next season in football and more than likely basketball, softball has been a sport that has kept the clash going over the years.

“I don’t remember a time we didn’t play Romeoville,” said Bolingbrook coach Jean RyanMoak. “It is one of those games that the records don’t matter coming in, anyone can always win them. For whatever reason, the mental aspect of them being friends takes over and they get in their own heads.

understand how to win.

“Hopefully we have a change of fortune this year. Hopefully we can learn from what we did to win the ball game,” he said. “The past years, there was never a lead that was ever safe. It is nice to see these guys have confidence and be able to come through.”

The players see the change in the way the team finishes

games.

“We just battle,” Brown said.

“We hang tough even when we get down.”

The change did not just happen overnight, the players worked to get better.

“In years past we weren’t very good at situational hitting,” Nordbye said. “In the off season, we worked our butts off to get

better. We have a lot of talent on this team and as long as we put the ball in play and work on situational hitting, we should be able to put runs on the board.”

So far this season, the Raiders have outscored opponents 10575 and have scored double digit runs in five of their 15 games played.

Romeoville got on the board in the first inning, added three in the third, one in both the fourth and fifth innings and two more in the sixth.

Michelle Spillman was 3-for-3 with a home run and was happy with the way she swung the bat.

“I wasn’t seeing the ball very well until Thursday (at Oswego) when I hit my first home run of the season,” Spillman said.“It was frustrating because I know I can

produce more than what I was doing. I work hard on my swing in the back yard doing a lot of dry swings and tee work.”

Spillman said she enjoys playing her cross town rivals.

“We play them every year and it is fun to come out and play them because we are so close,” she said.

Cece Floyd was 2-for-3 with a homer of her own and Abby Smith and Floyd scored two runs

each.

Smith has been on the losing end of a few rivalry games in the past, falling in both basketball and softball the past few years.

“It is nice to beat them in softball because basketball has always been a loss,” Smith said.

“In basketball we didn’t see them this year and that was a first, but I like the rivalry and I like seeing them in softball. The whole team really gets pumped up.”

Spartan coach Christina Douglas was happy with how the game came out.

“Our kids executed and we had the big hits with the few home runs,” Douglas said.“A lot of these girls play together in the summer and it is a really fun rivalry for the kids and the program. I think we came out really pumped up for the game today and really used that.”

Speedway offers more than fast cars

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

When most people think of Chicagoland Speedway, the first thing that comes to mind is fast cars making left turns.

While that is the main attraction of the Joliet-based race track, there are several events held there every year that help the community.

For instance,on Saturday,March 31, Chicagoland Speedway held its first ever “Easter Egg Dash” to benefit Easter Seals Joliet Region.

For a suggested $10 donation, fans had access to the infield, media center and Gatorade Victory Lane while visiting with the Easter Bunny and Chicagoland Speedway Mascot, Dash.

Visitors had the opportunity to take pictures in Gatorade Victory Lane with Dash and the Easter Bunny, as well as the chance to participate in Easter Egg Hunts.

Children from ages 1-12 picked up more than 5,000 eggs from various locations in the infield throughout the day. Kids also had the chance to perform arts and craft activities in the media center.

“First and foremost, I want to thank our fans for coming out on a chilly morning to support us and Easter Seals,” said Chicagoland Speedway president Scott Paddock. “The generosity from those who participated resulted in over $2,700 being raised for charity, and we hope to continue the tradition of celebrating the Easter holiday with our fans in a fun way that also benefits the local community.”

Another event the Speedway is involved with is an Arbor Day tree

planting. In support of NASCAR’s Green Clean Air initiative, 70 trees will be planted throughout Joliet and Will County.

On April 26, Paddock will join Joliet city officials and students from River View Elementary in a ceremonial tree planting.

“At a time when budgets are tight and our ash trees are being destroyed by the Emerald Ash Borer, we are extremely appreciative of the donation of 70 trees to our city forest,” said Rita Renwick,Chairperson for the City of Joliet Tree Advisory Board.

“The planting of trees at River View School, in commemoration of Arbor Day, is a fine example of a cooperative partnership and is, literally, a breath of fresh air for the City of Joliet.These trees will improve our neighborhoods by producing oxygen and keeping our air clean.The gift of trees will

benefit our citizens far into the future.”

The ceremony, to be held at River View Elementary school, is part of a NASCAR program to help capture carbon emissions produced by racing. Chicagoland Speedway, one of the first 11 tracks to participate in the project in 2009, has worked on the NASCAR Green Clean Air initiative for the past four years.

“Like any organization and as citizens of the world, we are well aware of our responsibilities to help protect our environment,” Paddock said. “Through our collective efforts in conjunction with the Forest Preserve of Will County, we are celebrating April Earth Month by making a positive environmental impact and giving back to our local community.”

• Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway employees

will also volunteer with the Forest Preserve District of Will County on Saturday, April 21 for a Community Work Day. Participants will assist in various trail maintenance, including brush removal and wood chipping, to celebrate Earth Day Weekend. The contributions will benefit native plants and wildlife, in addition to preparing the district for its annual family bicycle ride in May. Further supporting the Forest Preserve of Will County and Earth Month, Chicagoland Speedway will donate $5 from every NASCAR event ticket purchased from Sunday, April 22 to Saturday, April 28 to the Forest Preserve of Will County. Fans must use the promo code EARTHDAY2012.

Morels are one of the best tasting edible wild mushrooms. And the best part is, they’re free!

Dan Stefanich In Will County, the grey morels have been popping for about three weeks. The yellow morels are just now starting to pop. We have been finding a lot of them in swampy stands of cottonwoods, mostly at the bottom of the hills on the south or east facing slope.

The rise in temperature will help, but we definitely need some rain to really get them popping.

For the amateur mushroom hunters, good luck. First challenge is finding where they grow.

The next challenge is finding where they grow, that no one else knows about. Mushroom hunting can be very serious to some folks, some families even pass down their favorite spots through generations, and swear each other to secrecy. So if you find morels, it’s ok to say that you found some. You just might want to think twice before you tell anyone where.

• All ‘shroomers have different opinions on the best place to find morels. Here is what I have heard over the years – old apple orchards, dead elms or old stands of elm trees, near large cottonwood trees, wet or “swampy” areas, near cat tails, and field edges. The list goes on. You just need to get out in the woods and be persistent.

• In Northern Illinois, morels start popping around mid to end of April and will continue until about the second week of May, depending upon weather.

Real Estate & Business

The secret to great customer service Q. I’m a manager of a customer service department and have spent hours training my team both internally and hiring outside customer service consultants. The problem is that many customers seem to think being a jerk is an interpersonal technique. The worst line we hear is “This is unacceptable.”

Is there anything we can do to train our customers to not act like snotty 2-year olds?

A. Yes, you are right that when people are upset they often deteriorate to the level of preschoolers. Customer service workers see more of this behavior than probably any other profession. When I train customer service employees, the most common question they ask is how to deal with abusive or alienating customer behaviors.

Start out by realizing that your

customers actually do think their hostile, adversarial techniques will get them what they want. Your employees’ job is to help the customer see that the best route to success is collaboration, not acting like an attack dog.

When a customer starts acting like a jerk, they often start to blame the person who is trying to help them. Make sure your employees say two things to the hostile customer immediately: 1) “I know you know that I did not personally write these policies,” and 2) “I know you know that I am here to help you navigate these policies so that together we can get you what you want.”

Hostile customers completely forget they are actually talking to someone who wants to help them and usually can.A reminder that they are speaking to a problem solver, not a problem, can do wonders.

The next move is to squelch yelling, name calling or personal attacks. No one should have to put up with being a punching bag, and everyone loses their ability to think when they are being bullied. It’s not in the customer’s best interest for your employees to allow the customer to escalate.

Your employees can calmly restate: “I know you are trying to figure out how to get X. I am here to help you get X. If you speak very loudly, use ‘that’ type of language, or continue to express concerns about my personal performance, I will be

less able to think clearly to create solutions for you.”

Make sure your employees know that most customers who act badly are so flooded emotionally that they actually are not thinking about their choices. Emotionally flooded people simply want to inflict pain. If your employees can remind customers about the actual goal they have (refund, better product, repair, etc.), they will take the customers out of their abusive mind set.

Prepare your employees to anticipate that they will have a completely normal human reaction to a charging bull customer: They’ll want to give that bad attitude right back.

Unfortunately, this normal response is a lot like throwing a match on a puddle of gasoline.

The customer will just become

dramatically worse.

If you can train your employees to keep their heads when the customer has clearly lost his, your employees will usually have the power to get the conversation off an abusive track and back to problem solving. No one wins in the workplace when raging becomes the focus.

Downsizing house to get out of debt a good idea?

Dear Dave, Is it ever a good idea to sell your home and buy a smaller, less expensive one in order to get out of debt more quickly?

Autumn Dear Autumn, It’s a good idea in some situations. If you don’t really like the house, or maybe you were thinking about selling it anyway, then I’d say go for it.

It would also be a smart move if you simply have too much house and the payments are eating you alive.

I usually recommend that your monthly mortgage payment or rent be no more than 25 percent of your take-home pay. If your house payments are taking 40 to 50 percent of this figure, then it’s time to unload the house.

But selling your home can be a tough thing emotionally. I’d never advise someone to sell the place they love and move down in house if their payment is reasonable. In these situations there are usually other areas where you can cut back, keep your home, and still get out of debt in a reasonable amount of time.

—Dave Dear Dave, I’m getting married to a

wonderful man, but his 19-year old daughter from a previous marriage is very irresponsible.

She doesn’t want to make her own car payments and doesn’t want to work. Lots of days, she sleeps until noon and just lies around the house. He agrees that he’s been too lenient and that she needs to grow up, but doesn’t want to pull the rug out from under her. What do you think?

Kelly Dear Kelly, There are two problems here.

One is financial in nature, and the other is a lack of boundaries.

You’re walking face-first into both of them.

Marriage counselors will tell you if you can agree on four things – religion,money,children and in-laws – then you’ve got a good chance of having a successful marriage. You’ve got two of these yanking your chain right now - money and children - and they’re both wrapped up in one spoiled little girl. If you and dad really want to show her

that you love her, you’ll make sure she starts learning some character and discipline.

I’d strongly suggest that you and your fiancé go through pre-marital counseling to make sure you’re on the same page when it comes to handling this and other issues. You might also want to read the book Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud, together. Then, the two of you will have some tools to sit down and create a reasonable timeline for her re-education. Her dad, not you, needs to present this to her and explain that he’s made some mistakes by not requiring her to grow up and learn selfsufficiency. Then, he can lay out the ground rules and a monthly timetable.

It wouldn’t be cruel to require her to get a job during the first month, along with getting out of bed by 8 a.m. every day. During the second month, you could also require her to do some work around the house to help out. During month three she could be required to pay rent.

This way, you’re stepping up the expectations gradually to the fifth or sixth month, when she’s moving out and taking care of her own responsibilities.

It’s all about love, Kelly. But it’s also about boundaries and expectations that will prepare

children to function in the real world.

—Dave

wall only causes echoes. A lack of understanding could block agreement. Wait until later in the week to make a presentation, discuss plans, or to talk over an important situation.

Bite back a tendency to criticize - and remember that no one likes to hear, “I told you so.” In the first part of the week, your ability to influence and charm a partner hits a low point.

The week may start off on a sour note, but sweet things may come your way by the end of it. Don’t fight the current; hold off on key decisions and negotiations for several days. Patience will pay off.

Never prepare to sunbathe on a cloudy day. Maintain a low profile for the next few days when it is likely that worries will obscure happiness and aggravations seem to be magnified. Watch your pennies this week.

You might feel like a rat in a maze. When you try to find the prize, you end up running into dead ends. It is wisest to wait until late in the week to make major decisions or changes; avoid unpredictability.

You can’t make hay on a rainy day. Your judgment could be skewed in the first part of the week, so hold off on making key decisions or finalizing important deals.

Attend to pressing obligations.

Keep a lid on it. In the week ahead, don’t join a chorus of criticisms just to seem agreeable to your companions. You could be left in an awkward position when opinions shift.

While it is admirable to be a model of efficiency, don’t micromanage every detail. This isn’t the right time to offer criticism, as others will take it the wrong way. Hold off decisions until midweek.

Don’t make mountains out of molehills. In the early part of the week, don’t draw attention to your own shortcomings or mistakes, or find fault with others because it may cause further problems.

The week ahead holds some surprises. You might find people to be a bit difficult to deal with in the first half of the week - and unpredictable in the second. Don’t make changes in your banking habits.

Building up your retirement confidence

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

The Great Recession of 200809 blew up many a retirement plan, and now we have the data to prove it and finally understand just how damaging the boom and bust cycle has been. The Employment Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) Retirement Confidence Survey was published this month and the news is grim.

How could it not be? For the last 15 years, far too many Americans jumped from one asset bubble (rising stocks in the late 1990s into early 2000) to another (real estate from 2000-06), hoping that the increasing value of the asset would do the work to fund retirement, instead of relying on boring old savings. I can recount dozens of conversations with former clients who said some variation of, “Why do I need to save so much if I keep earning 12 percent a year on my retirement funds?” or “I’ll just sell my house and use the equity for retirement.” It was a hard sell to convince these folks that saving was a more reliable way to reach their retirement goals.

The problem was that the two asset bubbles made many people lazy.Americans went from a personal savings rate of about 8 percent in 1985, down to 1.5 percent in 2005, back to 4.6 percent today.The combination of a falling savings rate and two bubbles bursting has put many in a precarious state as they approach retirement.

According to EBRI, Americans’

confidence in their ability to retire comfortably is at historically low levels. Just 14 percent are very confident they will have enough money to live comfortably in retirement. Part of the reason why confidence plunged is because the Great Recession decimated asset values so severely. Household net worth still remains seven percent below where it was in July 2006, the peak of the nation’s housing bubble. But an equally significant impediment to a healthy retirement is the weak labor market. Fortytwo percent of those surveyed said job uncertainty is the most pressing financial issue facing most Americans today.

Without income from a job, retirement account values remain stagnant, and households are forced to spend savings, which have been depleted over the past five years. In fact, 60 percent of workers report that the total value of their household’s savings and investments, excluding the value of their primary home and any defined benefit plans, is less than $25,000.

With such a low level of savings, 25 percent of workers have changed their expectations about when they might stop working. In 1991, 11 percent of workers said they expected to retire after age 65; and now in 2012 that number

has grown to 37 percent. Most experts believe that the number of people who will continue to work throughout their 60s will increase dramatically.

There is one major risk that arises with the “I’ll just keep working” retirement plan: What if you can’t keep working, either because your job doesn’t exist or because you physically aren’t able to? Half of the current retirees surveyed say they left the workforce unexpectedly due to health problems, disability or changes at their employer, such as downsizing or closure.

These statistics point to an obvious solution:save more as quickly as you can.How much more?That depends on your specific circumstances.As I noted in a recent article (“What’s your retirement number?”), EBRI has a terrific calculator called the “Choose to Save Ballpark E$timate,” which should help the 56 percent of workers who have not tried to calculate how much money they will need to have saved by the time they retire in order to live comfortably in retirement.

There aren’t a lot of easy answers, but I have seen great progress when retirees and near-retirees focus on the parts of their financial lives over which they exert control - their expenses. For many, this may mean downsizing, while for others,

it may mean reducing spending on everyday discretionary items or accelerating debt pay-down. It’s never too late to start building your retirement confidence.
