Stamping out hunger Letter carriers are asking Bolingbrook residents to donate non-perishable food

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

“Firefighters have gotten enhancements far beyond what is now the norm. No one begrudges anyone of a fair pension, but we are beginning to see the problems this causes in Illinois,” said Claar.

BY laUra kaTaUskas STAFF REPORTER Facing the threat of increasing pension benefit costs, the Bolingbrook village board passed a budget reflecting an increase in property taxes, while providing for major capital projects.

Expenditures for the total budget are approximately $119.3 million, while revenue is anticipated at $112.2 million. The $7.1 million difference will come from bond funds ($5.5 million); and accumulated fund balances in Wastewater ($641,319), debt service (649,413) and other minor fund adjustments.

For the 22nd year, Bolingbrook mail carriers will not only be delivering your mail, but collecting any donations left for the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive.

Letter carriers are asking Bolingbrook residents to donate non-perishable food Saturday, May 10.

“A can of food fits perfectly in your mailbox,” said Nancy Barron, who has been organizing the event since its beginning.

“And a bag of food can be easily left near the mailbox. Just leave it out and we’ll do the rest.”

Last year alone, more than 28,353 pounds of food was collected. Barron expects to collect the same or more this year. Donations will be given to the DuPage Township Food Pantry, which last year served more than 14,677 families and 59,128 individuals.

Letter carriers will pick up any donations left in or near the mailboxes. Customers also may bring their donations directly to the Bolingbrook Post Office.

Bolingbrook has been awarded the Tree City USA award

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

As a means to beautify the village, trees have made a way to boost not only spirits, but the community’s value as well.

For the 23rd consecutive year, Bolingbrook has been awarded the Tree City USA award for meeting four core standards of sound urban forestry management: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day. “From early on, we thought it

was important to plant our trees in the community and see it as an asset,” said Mayor Roger Claar.

“It’s nice to receive this honor, and we’ve been doing it for years.

After all, we spend a lot of money on our trees.”

Tree City USA was launched by the Arbor Day Foundation in 1976. Today, more than 140 million Americans call a Tree City USA home, and the program has grown to include more than 3,400 communities.

The program boasts that street trees are a green infrastructure resource and valuable community asset.

“We all have experienced a neighborhood with abundant, well cared-for street trees. In these places of resplendent natural beauty, we are calmed, we are refreshed. These positive emotions are brought forth by a healthy, vibrant tree canopy and the benefits it provides – communities nationwide have enjoyed higher property

values, decreased energy costs, cleaner air, and more beautiful environments ... all because of trees,” officials from Tree City USA boast.

Tree planting and their care is becoming important for many major cities.

“Given a limited budget, the most effective expenditure of funds to improve a street would

probably be on trees,” wrote Allan Jacobs, a professor of city and regional planning at the University of California, Berkeley, in his book “Great Streets.”

U.S. Forest Service scientists have found that for every dollar spent on planting and caring for a street tree, the benefits that it provides are two to five times that investment.

Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital hosts knee, shoulder pain talk Bolingbrook – A free discussion this May at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gregory Markarian will focus on treatment options for knee and shoulder pain.

The hospital, 500 Remington Blvd. in Bolingbrook, will host Markarian’s discussion on knee and shoulder pain starting at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 21. To register, call (630) 856-7525.

Markarian will discuss new treatment options available for cartilage restoration and joint resurfacing.

“People often believe that they must suffer through knee pain until they reach a point where a total knee replacement is needed,” Markarian said. “But there are other options available, and I want to help people learn

about them.”

In his practice, Markarian uses the Arthrosurface approach to knee surgery, which allows physicians to place small implants into small defects in knee cartilage, making it smooth again. Markarian is also the only doctor in the country using a hybrid of Arthrosurface along with an approach known as Tissue Guided Surgery to complete partial knee replacements, preserving patient ligaments and focusing on diseased bone.

A diplomat with the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons, Markarian previously served as a consultant to the National Football League’s Miami Dolphins for seven years. He was also head team physician for the XFL’s Chicago Enforcers.

He’s a 1987 graduate of the University of Michigan and received his medical degree from Northwestern University in 1991.

Ain’t no quit in this bunch Experiencing the ‘Turn Back the Clock’ competition at Inwood Fitness Center in Joliet

By Nick Reiher Managing Editor

A few weeks ago, I told you I was selected for a fitness competition at Inwood Fitness Center in Joliet called “Turn Back the Clock.”

I was going to wait until we found out how my team did before I wrote a follow-up. But after our final class April 28, and three days before we find out officially how we did, I can tell you this: My team and I, along with our trainer Jeana Matichak, are all winners. Regardless of how we did officially, how much “body age” we lost through the weeks of group and individual exercise, as well as watching more closely what we ate, we won.

First, let me introduce my team: Jennifer Kimak; Emmie Tipton; Jay Adler; Charlotte Kics; and Kris Linneweh. From day one, I was impressed by them. From that first day, they worked hard. Nobody slacked, and everyone gave it their best, whether it was working out on the TRX bands, running, doing planks, wall-sits or dreaded “mountain-climbs.”

As beads of sweat ran down my face and into my eyes, nose and mouth, I saw the same was happening to them. There were grunts and groans as Jeana urged us not to give up. Finish strong.

None of us wanted to let her, us or ourselves down.The few times I had to quit early on an exercise, I felt like I was letting down my group. Yet, they told me I was doing great and just keep it up.

Speaking of Jeana, though, she has a great, wide smile through which she would urge us on.When I mentioned to a few people I was participating in Turn Back the Clock, they asked who my trainer was. I told them Jeana. A few of them who knew her said,“Whoa!

How’s that going? She’s tough.’”

She was tough. And that was great. After three abdominal surgeries, I didn’t know if I could work my abs. I did. It was tough, and I was sore, but it felt great. I don’t have a six-pack yet, but I felt one can starting to develop there.

I also started with a torn bicep muscle. I hope you never get to see my medical file to learn how I got it. The nurse certainly had

I also started with a torn bicep muscle. I hope you never get to see my medical file to learn how I got it. The nurse certainly had fun with it.

fun with it. Anyway, after planks, modified push-ups,TRX and a host of other arm exercises, I feel great.

How great? Pants are a LOT looser. So are shirts.The scale says I lost about 10 pounds. I took a minute and a half off my mile and doubled the output on my other test exercises. I have a lot more to go, but I’m happy with the start.

I don’t know all the body age calculations yet. By the time you read this, I’ll know how I did and how we did as a team officially.

Personally, I know we’re all winners. I saw that every time we were together. A couple times, I saw a few of them working out in separate classes, and they were BUSTIN it.

I am going to miss them.I plan to work out with Jeana once a week, but I will miss the rest. They’re a great team, and I was honored to sweat with them.

Thanks, guys. I hope I helped you as much as you helped me.

Same Sex marriages to begin June 1

Civil unions will not automatically convert into a marriage certification The Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act (750 ILCS 75/65) was signed into law by Gov. Patrick Quinn on Nov. 20, 2013. The law takes effect on June 1, 2014.

The act does not repeal Illinois’ existing civil union laws. Couples can continue to enter into civil unions in Illinois. Couples with civil unions may remain in a civil union.

Civil unions will not automatically convert into a marriage. Couples wishing to convert their existing civil union into a marriage can do so after the law takes effect.

It’s important to note the conversation must be done at the County Clerk’s office in the county where the civil union license was originally issued.

If a couple’s civil union was issued in Will County, they must apply at either the Will County Clerk’s Office 302 N. Chicago Street, Joliet, or at one of the following satellite locations: Crete Township Office, 1367 Wood St., Crete. 708-672-8279 DuPageTownship Office,241 Canterbury Lane, Bolingbrook.

630-759-1317 Plainfield Township Office, 22525 W. Lockport Road,

Plainfield. 815-436-8308 Those who wish to convert their civil unions to marriages will have two options: Apply for a marriage license and have a marriage ceremony.

There is no time frame for this free-of-charge conversion. The license is valid for 60 days with a one-day waiting period.

Apply for a marriage license and have it reflect the date the couple entered into the civil union. This free-of-charge conversion is effective for a period of 12 months effective June 1, 2014.

The Will County Clerk’s Office will open at 8:30 a.m. Monday, June 2, to issue marriage licenses. For more information, contact the Will County Clerk’s office at 815-740-4626 or visit www. thewillcountyclerk.com.

News >> special voices, from page 7 Since an early age, Brent was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, ADHD and epilepsy.

“My disability is more minor than it used to be,” Brent said.“We didn’t even know if I could talk when I was little, and we didn’t know if I’d be able to walk.”

About 14 years ago, Brent used to have frequent seizures. Today, because of the support of his parents fighting for him, he does not have to take medications and has been seizure-free.

In 1998, Brent’s dad learned about Northern Illinois Special Recreation (NISRA), which is the Special Olympics program through which Brent competes in track and basketball.

“I was very much wanting to play basketball since I liked watching Michael Jordan when I was a kid,” Brent said. “He was amazing with his dunking ability and his ‘flying.’”

From 2005 to 2009, Brent took some time off from Special Olympics track because he wanted to compete with his high school during his senior year. He rejoined the team in 2009.

Similar to Brent, I also took some time off from competing in

Special Olympics. In 2012, I took the year to fully focus on finishing my last year of college. Many people who are not diagnosed with intellectual disabilities may be able to compete in extracurricular activities and complete their school work. For those of us who take extra time to process information, we often have to put activities that we love, such as competing in Special Olympics, on hold.

In October 2013, Brent learned that he had been selected to compete at the 2014 USA Games for Special Olympics.

“Honestly, I was jumping up and down, and I was excited, and I’m like,‘Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I’m going to the games.’ I was so excited, I called my mom right away,” said Brent.

Brent’s friend Taylor Reidal of Normal will be competing in track and field.

“Honestly, it is a gift for me and my family,” Taylor said. “Even if I do not win, I will support all the other athletes and give them encouragement.”

Breanna Bogucki,16,of Cary will be joining Brent, myself and fellow Special Olympics athletes who have never had the opportunity

to attend the USA Games before.

Breanna, who is a vocalist, will perform a mini concert at the Olympic Town on Thursday and Friday, June 19 to 20.

The high cost of covering pensions is beginning to make its mark on the village budget and only remains to get worse if changes aren’t made, explained Mayor Roger Claar.

Combined with IMRF pension payments of $1.4 million and approximately 32 percent of the property tax levy going toward police and fire pensions, the village is paying out more than $7.1 million in employer pension obligations.

“Firefighters have gotten

enhancements far beyond what is now the norm. No one begrudges anyone of a fair pension, but we are beginning to see the problems this causes in Illinois,” said Claar.

Over the past few years, there has been a 20 percent reduction in the village’s workforce. This year, 12 positions that are currently vacant will be eliminated.

The budget also reflects several capital improvement projects, including the conversion of street lamps to LED heads, the completion of the 95th street Bridge, a traffic signal at Joliet Road and St. James Gate, Bolingbrook Clow airport runway costs, and the replacement of 10 patrol cars, half paid from drug seizure funds.

Setting new marks Locals breaking records at Lewis

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Rebecca Preisler and Chantel Stennis grew up not far from each other in the shadows of Lewis University.

While they were both decorated prep athletes, their paths seldom, if ever, crossed, but the two ended up on eerily similar paths that has led to being some of the best in the nation at their craft.

Both Preisler, a graduate of Romeoville High School and Stennis, a Bolingbrook product, gave up on track for different reasons and found a way back to the sport this season with the Flyers, where both have obliterated Lewis school records and have already qualified for the NCAA Division-II National Meet.

A muti-time state medalist and state champion her sophomore year at Bolingbrook, Stennis passed on an offer from Lewis and attended McKendree University.

Stennis was not happy at McKendree and left the track team and then left the school, transferring to Lewis as a student, not a runner.

A fluke conversation with a fellow Flyer who saw Stennis

was wearing an IHSA track shirt landed her in Schwarting’s office.

“I wanted her out of high school, she was one of our top recruits, but at the Division-II level sometimes we don’t have all the money to offer and she took the better offer,”Schwarting said. “But she realized that you can’t buy happiness. She had a bad situation, took a year off, came to Lewis basically on her own and she walked in my office out of the blue and I didn’t even know she was on campus taking classes. She asked if she could get back on the team and I had to hide the joy from my face. She has been a joy to have around this year. She has seen the depths of where you can be and now she appreciates every day and comes to practice with a smile on her face and really pushes the girls and you see the time falling off.”

Looking back on it, Stennis said she believes the time away has made her enjoy this season more.

“I am happy I took the time off because it made me realize where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do,” she said. “I just didn’t want to give up and end my track career like I did. I didn’t want that to be my legacy.

For me, everything I have done this year is icing on the cake.”

Like Stennis, Preisler was away from track prior to this season at Lewis.

Preisler was a pole vaulter and volleyball player for the Spartans and out of high school, she decided to give up track and play volleyball for Oakton Community College, which she did.

After a two-year stint on the team, she departed for California with hopes to restart her pole vault career there, which did not happen.

After a year on the west coast, she returned home and enrolled at Lewis in 2011 with a desire to reach new heights in the vault – only to find new lows.

“My first year here at Lewis, two years ago, I came down in the box and tore my ACL, MCL, LCL and meniscus and I was out for a year after they repaired the ACL and took out part of my meniscus,” Preisler said.

The injury only made her more hungry for the next season, however, fate had yet another cruel blow.

“I went through rehab and I was really determined and I was ready to come back and really be good at this and I was coming into the season and I got a 40-hour a week internship at Argonne National Laboratory >> see MARKS | page 15

Seniors Rachel Medina (left) and Ashley Dvorak placed fourth at the SWSC meet.

BHS badminton at the turning point

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

There is that time in the building process of an athletic program when the team goes from losing because it is not as good as its opponent to when it is losing because it cannot believe it I actually good enough to compete.

That is the transition that the Bolingbrook badminton team finds itself in now.

The Raiders had a pair of seniors, Ashley Dvorak, at No. 2 singles and Rachel Medina at No. 3 lose in the thirdplace match and fall just shy of earning a medal last week at the SouthWest Suburban Conference meet at Joliet Central.

“Last year we had one girl place so I was hoping to have

more than one place this year,” said Bolingbrook coach Kitty Dupee. “But as a team overall I think this year we lost on our own errors and not because they weren’t up to par with the other girls. They put up a great fight against the other girl and it just came down to them being inconsistent.

“This year the girls realized they are better. Last year it was mental when they played a Sandburg or a Lockport and when you go out and think you are going to lose, you already lost. Now they have to get past themselves mentally. If they get angry, use it positively.

I am impressed with them this year.”

Dupee was happy with the progress of her two seniors. >> see POINT | page 16

Catching on fast

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Freshman Nicole Bond has excelled behind the plate for the Raiders this season.

Bolingbrook softball coach Jean Ryan-Moak has proven over the years that she is not afraid to put young players in key spots on the field.

That confidence is in place again this season as she has given the catching position to freshman Nicole Bond.

“I was not afraid at all,” RyanMoak said. “I had a freshman a few years ago and I had a freshman before her, so I am kind of used to it. I actually prefer it, because then they can grow with the program and we have them for four years.”

Ryan-Moak likes how Bond has performed thus far this season.

“She does a nice job blocking, she is very vocal, which is something we lack on this team,” Ryan-Moak said. “She takes control behind the plate

and lets everyone know what is going on.”

Not only did Ryan-Moak give Bond the job behind the plate, she has given her full control.

“She has full reign,” Ryan-Moak said. “I might tell her nice pitch or good location to let her know I like it. With first and third, she has full reign in that situation.

She has to throw it and if she sees something I don’t see she can go for it.”

Bond said the confidence her coach has in her is appreciated, but something she did not expect so soon, “It makes me feel really good,” Bond said. “I didn’t know she was going to give me this much freedom. I thought she was going to call more pitches, but I’m OK that she doesn’t. When I am calling the pitches, I pay more attention to what the umpire is calling.”

Bond said she gets in the gear whenever she can, no matter if

it is at her practice or helping friends work on their game.

“Catching is my passion,” Bond said.“I love catching, I love being behind the plate, I love having all that freedom to call the pitches. I know where the batters are hitting, I know what the umpire will call and won’t call, I know how to take charge with first and third and make the plays. I like being vocal.”

The majority of Bond’s time behind the plate is spent catching Raider junior Megan Lotarski who was coming off a stellar season a year ago as a sophomore.

“I was nervous,” said Lotarski, who is having another superb season. “But we have really gelled. She knows my pitches. I just have to worry about hitting my spots nad now be worried about what is being called.”

Bond said she had no nerves >> see FAST | page 15

Sports >> MARKS, from page 11 and I couldn’t compete in track and field,” she said. “It was such a bittersweet moment. I remember coming into (Lewis coach) Dana’s (Schwarting) office just bawling because I couldn’t pole vault. But, I had to weigh my priorities.”

After five years away from the sport, Preisler was not sure she was going to give it a go this year, but when she decided, there was no stopping her.

“Rebecca has had a rough go of it with track at the college level with injuries and bad luck,” Schwarting said. “I almost had to talk her into it this year, and when she finally gave in, she hit the ground running. As a coaching staff, I think we had more confidence in her than she had in herself with the setbacks, but that happens a lot with athletes.When she decided to go for it, she has improved by leaps and bounds every week. She is an unbelievable inspiration to the rest of the girls. She works so hard and she always has a positive attitude

>> FAST, from page 13 coming in and making sure her pitcher improved from a year ago.

“There wasn’t so much

and it is contagious for the rest of the team.”

In mid-April, Preisler vaulted 12-feet, 6-inches and broke the Lewis school record, which was 11-0.25 set in 2007 by Sarah King. Preisler is the first Flyer to clear 12-feet indoor or outdoor.

Preisler then broke her own mark weeks later, clearing 127.5.

At the GLVC outdoor championships last weekend at Lewis, Preisler vaulted 3.69 meters to place second and Stennis won the 100 and 200-meter dash, while clocking in with NCAA provisional marks, with times of 11.9 and 24.58, respectively.

While Preisler was breaking records in the air, Stennis was setting marks on land.

Stennis broke a 13-year old school-record in the 400-meter dash with a winning time of 54.37 at the Gina Relays. That time, which is currently fifthbest in the country, obliterated the previous record of 55.83 set by Beth Bayser in 2001. The time earned her GLVC Women’s Track Athlete of the Week for

the period ending April 27.

Stennis was also part of the 4x400 relay team with Megan Marchildon, Krysten Sebby and Amy Polhemus that broke the school record this season with a time of 3:47.22. The previous school-record of 3:48.66 was set in 1998.

Both Stennis and Preisler credit the coaching staff for the success they have enjoyed this year.

“This year has been the best atmosphere and team and coaching staff that I have ever been a part of. That has a lot to do with why I am successful,” Stennis said.

“The support of the coaches really does mean a lot for us,” Preisler added. “Them being there mentally as well as pushing us physically really propels us.”

Both will compete at the 2014 NCAA Division II Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Allendale, Michigan May 22-24, 2014, at the Grand Valley Track and Field Stadium.

pressure,” Bond said. “I just felt it was my responsibility. I knew Megan would do really well, I just had to adapt to what she was like. I caught her every day for a few weeks before the

season started. I love calling pitches and I love when she is on and we are striking everyone out.”

They had a slow start at the beginning of the year, but they proved tonight that they are good players.”

Dvorak teamed with Rebecca Nyarko to also place fourth at No. 1 doubles in the SWSC. “I wanted a medal in general, but I placed fourth both days, so that is pretty good,” Dvorak said. “It I interesting to see the progress that I made along with the girls I’m playing against and seeing that I made the same progress they did.”

Medina also wanted to medal, but was pleased with the finish.

“It would be great to see our girls walking up there, but I

think we all played our best and as long as we are proud of ourselves,” Medina said.

Dupee is hoping the success this season rubs off on the returning players as they lose a host of seniors.

“We have 10 graduating seniors so we are rebuilding completely next season, so I hope it rubbed off on them,” she said.“It is encouraging that the seniors were successful and they see that they can do that.”

The seniors will look to keep their careers alive this weekend at the West Aurora Sectional meet.

Dvorak, for one, is hoping to advance to the state finals.

“I played for three years and I want to have something to show for it,” she said.

Real Estate & Business come to order

The right tools make getting organized easier Getting organized can be just as quick and painless if you have the right tools for the job A friend mentioned that she was feeling inspired to wash the windows of her home because she come to order had recently sue becker purchased a squeegee and bucket and discovered that having the right tools provided her with motivation to do the job.

In addition, those tools made the window cleaning quick, painless and provided great results. Getting organized can be just as quick and painless if you have the right tools for the job. Here are some tools that can help you do just that.

Garbage bags It’s inevitable that somewhere along the way you’re going to find some things to let go of, so have the garbage bags ready to do what they do best - haul away the things that are no longer useful to you. Depending on the receiving agency, they may also be used for items to be donated to charity, or to be given to friends or family members.

Cleaning supplies Depending on how cluttered the space is that you’re organizing, you may expose areas that haven’t seen a vacuum or duster in quite a while.

Having cleaning supplies at the ready will lend itself to having a clean space that compliments its newly organized state.

Boxes for sorting Rather than wandering away from your organizing project every time you discover something that belongs in

another room, have a box where you can deposit items that belong elsewhere. If it makes life easier for you, use sticky notes to label where each item belongs. At the end of your organizing session for the day, go ahead and put all those items in their appropriate place, even if that space isn’t yet organized.

to jot them down so you can clear your mind and get back to the task at hand.

Pen/pencil and paper As you’re organizing, you may find yourself thinking about other things (although I can’t imagine what’s more interesting to think about than organizing!), such as the phone calls you need make or what to have for dinner.

Rather than distracting yourself by running off to act on these random thoughts, have a place

Don’t make these 401(k) blunders With all of the literature that accompanies retirement plan enrollment, why do retirement savers continue to blow it?

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Content Agency

According to a new paper, Americans commit a series of blunders with their retirement accounts. Author Jacob Hale Russell of Stanford Law School says that the flubs are not entirely our fault. “Over the past four decades, the American retirement system has dramatically shifted risk onto the individual worker.”

Whereas in the past,professional investment management committees were tasked with making complicated financial decisions, today the burden has shifted to individuals and the results have not been good.

Retirement investors consistently make the following blunders:

Not allocating retirement accounts and leaving money in cash or low-interest moneymarket funds,where it will decline relative to inflation Leaving a job, cashing out plan assets and paying a tax penalty, instead of rolling over the funds into another retirement account Choosing high-fee funds Failing to diversify and overinvesting in employer stock Not rebalancing on a periodic basis

Overtrading individual securities Failing to take advantage of employer matching programs for contributions With all of the literature that accompanies retirement plan enrollment, why do retirement savers continue to blow it?

The author posits that people are simply overwhelmed by the decisions that they need to make. The policy response has been to use behavior economics to “nudge” retirement plan participants into making better decisions.

“Soft paternalism”or“libertarian paternalism” presents choices to individuals in a way that “encourages them to make better choices.The best example was the 2006 enactment of the Pension Protection Act, which allowed companies to automatically enroll employees, who could then choose to opt out, in 401(k) plans. Participation has jumped for those companies who nudged employees into retirement plans.

That’s the good news. However, other efforts have not been as effective. So what should be done?

Russell encourages policymakers to take a big picture approach and ask: What purpose do we want 401(k)’s to serve? Russell notes

that there are often conflicts of interest that can lead investors down the wrong path, which is why he advocates regulating the quality and fee structure of the funds that serve as default investment options.

Until a wholesale review and upgrade to retirement plans occurs, here are some tips which should help improve your retirement plan results: Put your 401(k) plan on autopilot: Many plans offer the opportunity to automatically increase annual contributions.

Have the plan add one or two percent each year in order to maximize your contributions over time. Additionally, plans also can be set to auto-rebalance your allocation on a periodic basis (quarterly, biannually or annually).

Using this feature can help take

emotions out of the investment process.

Diversify your holdings: You know that you shouldn’t put too many eggs in one basket. But some participants don’t realize how much overlap they may have among their retirement funds. It’s far more important to diversify among asset classes (stocks,bonds, commodities and cash) than in the total number of funds. If your company stock is an option in your plan, limit your exposure to 5 percent of your holdings.

Choose index funds, when possible:One way to increase your return without risk is to reduce the cost of investing. If your plan offers index funds, you may be able to save for retirement at a fraction of the cost of managed funds. If your plan is filled with expensive funds, gather your coworkers and lobby your boss to add low-cost index funds to your plan.
