Cornel West lauds MLK’s lasting legacy Noted civil rights activist delivers MLK Week keynote address at North Central College

By Gina Catalano for the bugle

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

Everybody recognizes Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech. It starts with four iconic words, which are frequently repeated throughout, that together make up the most symbolic phrase of the Civil Rights Movement.

Repetition in speeches wasn’t originated by King, but that rhetorical tradition has lived on in one of his predecessors, Dr. Cornel West.

The author and civil rights activist spoke at North Central College Jan. 23 as the college’s MLK Week keynote speaker.

“When you talk about integrity,

The mayoral race is officially underway in Downers Grove as two candidates have launched their campaigns for the spring election.

Incumbent Mayor Martin Tully and village council Commissioner Geoff Neustadt will vie for the village’s top spot on April 7.

Tully, who is seeking his second and final term as mayor per village term limit rules, addressed his supporters Jan. 26 at Ballydoyle Irish Pub about successes from the last four years and the sophisticated work it takes to lead the village. The following night at Gatto’s Italian Restaurant and Bar, Neustadt made his promise to be the “mayor next door” once elected.

“The village of Downers Grove is very important to me,” Neustadt said. “When we work together we can all make a difference for the better of the entire community.

“I want to be your mayor next door. It’s automatic an overthe-fence conversation to get to know what’s happening in your community,” he added.

COD celebrates Black History Month The College of DuPage Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion will host a variety of events and activities in celebration of Black History Month. The center will collaborate with other college departments, students and community leaders on the program, which will run through February.

“The extent of this month-long celebration marks a milestone at College of DuPage,” said David Swope, interim director of diversity and inclusion. “We

want all who participate to grow and expand their awareness of a culture that has contributed much to the rich heritage of this nation.”

Events will include communitywide opening and closing days, the annual African American Read-In, an African American film festival, an African American student art exhibit and an intercollegiate panel discussion on African American awareness.

To honor the centennial anniversary of the Association

for the Study of African American Life and History, the college will recognize Black History Month as “A Century of Black Life, History and Culture.”

On Tuesday, community-wide opening day celebration for Black History Month was held at the Student Services Center.

Community leaders, NAACP and Urban League representatives, COD students and staff attended the event, which dedicated the month and identified scheduled activities.

West, a professor emeritus at Princeton University who has published 19 books, delivered his speech at North Central College’s Pfeiffer Hall, where King also spoke more than 50 years earlier.

West addressed many topics related to King’s legacy, as well as other African-American revolutionaries. Four words were echoed throughout West’s keynote address: Integrity, honesty, decency and virtue. How shall integrity face oppression?

What does honesty do in the face of deception? What does decency do in the face of insult? How does virtue meet brute force?

These haunting questions lingered throughout his speech, weaving in and out between stories of King’s legacy, as well as those he influenced and those who influenced him. From other civil rights activists to writers and singers, West said there were few people who used their power to capture the soul in the way that King was able to do.

“What are you using your success for,” West asked.

Some people embody integrity, honesty, decency and virtue, while others embody oppression, deception, insult and brute force, West proclaimed. He compared

these latter individuals to peacocks, saying they have colors of iridescent blues and greens and capture attention by strutting to the point that their confidence is almost arrogance.

West also related King’s teachings to present day events, including the recent disturbance in Ferguson, Missouri, and the Occupy Wall Street movement.

In both occasions, West was arrested for protesting.

He noted that King’s teachings are not applicable to only racial segregation, saying his lessons can be applied to the human population as a whole. Integrity, honesty, decency and virtue lie within any tradition, West said, regardless of definitions or illustrations.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy extends beyond his “I Have A Dream” speech and demonstrations of civil disobedience, according to West. He feels King’s legacy is about unconditional love, about speaking up instead of talking down, and most importantly, it’s about being an individual and sticking up for yourself.

“Don’t be an echo, be a voice,” West said. “Be an original, not a copy.” West previously delivered the college’s MLK Week keynote address in 2010.

Village reviews new ‘welcome’ signs Proposed signs would integrate local images, among other features

By Christine M. Demma for the bugle

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @BugleNewspapers

Proposed gateway signs welcoming residents and guests to Downers Grove have been unveiled, and the village council recently reviewed proposals on several new entrance signs. Director of Communications Doug Kozlowski said the purpose is to design and construct gateway signs in major

thoroughfares in the community, adding that the current array of signs is outdated.

The proposed signs were designed to withstand the test of time, evoke Downers Grove heritage, have a simple aesthetic and be easy to read, according to the village. The design team integrated local and recognizable images into the signs.

Those images included the Tivoli Theater, the train station’s red brick and certain features of Sears catalog homes. The preliminary designs also included a feature stone column and a sturdy beam construction at the top. Alex Pellicano, building division manager, said the Craftsman catalog style is unique and remains popular today. The design pulls together

timeless appeal, he added.

“The intent of the design is to welcome travelers to our community, and to evoke a warmth and permanence,” Pelicano said. “The front porch feel welcomes people to a home, and we want to welcome people to Downers Grove.”

Additionally, the sign would have a breakaway design in case it is struck by a vehicle, according to Pellicano.

A rain garden is also an option for the monument signs where rightof-ways would allow, and the letters on the sign would be backlit with LED lights, in compliance with the village’s sign ordinance, added Pellicano.

Fieldman said the team wanted a frame that was iconic and would stand the test of time. The sign itself can be changed out at any time and would cost less than changing out the base and sign, according to Fieldman.

“It’s time to work together as a team and design the sign,” Fieldman said. Commissioner Geoff Neustadt said he would like to see the village logo integrated for branding.

“I like our logo and it includes a lot of characteristics of Downers Grove,” he said. Mayor Martin Tully agreed branding is important, and said he’d like to have further discussions

on wording and font. A balance of cost and durability is needed for the signs, Tully added.

Commissioner Sean Durkin said the signs would still need constant maintenance and support, and said that seemed to be a lot of money. He noted that the purpose of the sign is to welcome people to the community.

Nine locations were identified for the signs, but not all of those rightof-ways would accommodate a monument design, Kozlowski said.

A smaller sign variation of the same theme is intended for limited rightof-ways and was also presented during the meeting. Commissioner David Olson said he would like to look at other areas in the village that may not have signage but where a lot of travelers enter the town.

Kozlowski said the locations identified are only proposals and can be changed. Fieldman said $100,000 is budgeted for signs in fiscal 2015, and noted that the monument signs should cost a maximum of $50,000 per location but closer to $30,000.

The actual construction cost is $28,000 before add-ons such as electrical or landscaping, said Fieldman. Kozlowski added that the cost estimates discussed at the Jan. 13 meeting are subject to change as the discussions progress.

Park District earns ‘Exceptional Workplace’ award Award recognizes efforts to support employee health, wellness The Woodridge Park District announced last week it has received the Illinois Parks and Recreation Association’s “Exceptional Workplace” award The award presentation took place during the IPRA annual conference in Chicago on Jan. 23 and recognizes the park district’s efforts to support employee health and wellness.

“Not only does the district provide its residents with a variety of recreational activities that promote overall health and fitness, but the District also prioritizes the health and wellness of their employees,” said Mike Adams, executive director of the Woodridge Park District.

Efforts to support and encourage a healthy lifestyle include participation in seminars and webinars on safety, health and work-life balance; an annual wellness program led by the risk management agency; supporting professional development; recognizing certifications,

awards and achievements; and providing staff with comfortable work environments.

The district said the premise behind the IPRA Exceptional Workplace award goes beyond encouraging employees to count calories and add physical activity to their day. It also encompasses implementing multiple dimensions of wellness to develop a balanced life, including physical activity, social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and environmental/ safety.

Each IPRA member agency completed an online selfassessment of their efforts to improve and support overall employee health.

Sharp wrote her first novel when she was fifteen, but success came in 2001 with the publication of Killer Instinct − the first book to feature her ex-Special Forces heroine, Charlotte “Charlie” Fox. “I loved reading thrillers when I was younger, but I struggled to find a female protagonist I could really root for,” Sharp recalled.

“They tended to scream and fall over and twist their ankles and need rescuing by the squarejawed hero.

“I wanted to read about a woman who could do her own rescuing, and in the end when I couldn’t find what I was looking for I decided I was simply going to have to write my own,” Sharp added.

Sharp was born in Nottinghamshire, England, but spent most of her formative years living on a catamaran on the country’s northwest coast. After a promising start at a private girls’ school, she opted out of mainstream education at the age of

“I grew up living on a boat where there wasn’t much room

for keeping books, so I spent a lot of my time in my local library at Lancaster in the UK,” said Sharp.

“To the point where I put one of the librarians, Andrew Till, into First Drop. His character is an FBI agent and plays a vital role in the story.”

Sharp’s novels First Drop and Fourth Day were finalists for the Barry Award for Best British Crime Novel. The Charlie Fox series has also been optioned for TV. For more information, or to register for the event, visit lislelibrary.org or call 630-9711675.

Mayor | from page 3 needs, he added.

“My favorite thing to do is pick up the phone and call residents, or go to their house and sit at their kitchen table or in the backyard,” Neustadt said. “That’s where true communication happens.”

During his campaign event, Tully said the role of mayor is also not about showing up to ribbon cuttings and meetings, but bringing the right amount of work, know-how, experience and qualifications to do the job right.

“We’re a leading community, and we deserve a leading leader,” Tully said. “Sophisticated and complex problems mean they need sophisticated and complex solutions by well-qualified, proven and experienced leaders.

“This is no time to leave the course of our village in untested, unproven, less-qualified and less-experienced hands,” he added.

As for the successes Downers Grove has seen with him at the helm, Tully said the best days are still ahead of the village and it’s moving towards them at light speed.

Those past accomplishments included national recognition from Forbes magazine, an increased bond rating to AAA from Standard & Poor’s and a variety of infrastructure projects that have been completed by keeping the property tax levy flat.

Tully said the village is doing what it can to catch-up on current and future infrastructure projects, such as streets, the stormwater system and sidewalks.

He also said there are multiple levels of government the mayor deals with, adding that it is critical to identify and engage in those partnerships, as well as lead effectively at the local level.

Tully said regional, county, state

and federal leadership is equally important.

“You have to be able operate on multiple levels beyond the boundaries of our community, but we can’t solve those complex problems unless we work beyond our borders,” he said, citing the combination of the Westmont and Downers Grove 911 call centers and the village’s partnership with Downers Grove Grade School District 58 for paving contracts.

“No matter how badly someone might want to be the mayor, that’s not what it’s about,” Tully added. “It’s about public service, not about elevating one’s self.”

Neustadt said the offices of mayor and commissioner are nonpartisan.

“It’s gotten crazy with the amount of party politics that have infiltrated our local elections,” he said. “Let this election be nonpartisan, like it’s designated to be, so our form of government can thrive and grow in Downers Grove.”

Neustadt recognized the longer length of recent village council meetings, but he said these meetings are important to let residents know what issues are being discussed.

“Having good, honest communication with anybody who is communicating back with us is very important,” he said. “I’m not going crossexamine people when they come to the podium at village council meetings.

“We’ve had enough attorneys as mayors for awhile, it’s for just a regular guy,” he said.

Tully’s pledge to the community is he has always done his best to draw in the residents.

“If we have community issues that require more community conversation, we’re going to have it because that’s what it takes,” he said. “I’m going to continue to promise to be a pragmatic, responsible and efficient leader.”

Girls HooPs

em’s lead REDWINGS Eshoo, Schramek, Hlavin among contributors for 24-2 Benet

By Mike sanDrolini SPortS rePorter

mike@buglenewspapers.com @Voyager_sport

During practice sessions or games, new Benet girls basketball coach Joe Kilbride has learned to be careful when he calls out certain players by name because their first names sound so similar.

If he, for instance, wants to get the attention of seniors Emily Eshoo, Emily Schramek or Emma Hlavin, “Hey, Em” likely will cause all three to turn their heads.

Thus, Kilbride uses nicknames for each to avoid confusion.

“When he yells ‘Em,’ both me and Emily Eshoo turn around,” Schramek said with a smile, “so he just started sticking to ‘Schram’ and ‘Shoo.’ ” But there’s no confusion as to which school has one of the top teams in the area. The Redwings (24-2) have won three straight and six of their last seven. The program is enjoying its best season since going 23-6 in 2011-12, and is within striking distance of either tying or breaking the school’s all-

24

WiNs for beNet this year

time record for most victories in a season by a girls basketball team: 29, set in 1997-98, the year that Benet made its only appearance at the state tournament.

The Redwings boast plenty of offensive firepower. This season, both Emilys have already reached, and surpassed, 1,000 points for their careers. Then there’s sparkplug junior guard Kathleen Doyle, who is effective either pulling up for a jumper or driving to the hoop.

What gives foes the most fits, however, is Benet’s swarming fullcourt press with Doyle leading the charge up front. Early last week, Downers South was one of the latest victims of the Redwing press. Keep in mind that the Mustangs have been on the heels of West Suburban Gold leader Proviso East—a formidable team in its own right—all season, yet the Redwings dismantled DGS, forcing several turnovers via their press and scoring 25 straight points. Benet led 25-2 at one point in the first period and went

wrestling

Lions, Sentinels set sights on postseason The numbers on Westmont’s wrestling are down just a smidge compared to last year, and the Sentinels’ chief I-8 rival, Lisle, is undergoing a transition year this winter.

Nonetheless, both squads are hoping to get personnel from Saturday’s Lisle regional through to the Wilmington sectional, which will be held the following Saturday, Feb. 14.

The Sentinels, Lions and Ida Crown Jewish Academy in Chicago met in a triangular meet last week—their final regularseason meet prior to regionals.

“There’s always a rivalry here,” said Lisle coach John Davis. “It’s been there for years and we like to come over here and they like to come to our place.”

Davis lost eight seniors from last year’s club to graduation, four of whom qualified for the Class 1A state tournament.

Wedn esday, February 4, 2015 | bug lenewspapers.com sights | from page 12 “We did lose those seniors, but we’ve been hit hard with the injury bug (this year), Davis said. “We’ve got three to four guys that are out for the season so that’s kind of hurt us a bit.

“Our numbers are down, but we should have better numbers next year.”

Sophomore Drew Sonnefeldt qualified for state last season after winning the Plano sectional wrestling at 106 pounds. This year, he’s moved up two weight classes to 120.

What’s the transition been like for Sonnefeldt? He says those he faces at 120 are a lot stronger. In preparation, he hit the weight room over the summer.

“I did a lot of lifting,” he said.

“They have a lot more muscle on them so I can’t really do things I could do at 106.”

Sonnefeldt believes he can make a return trip to state.

“I think I have a good chance,” said Sonnefeldt, who’s 21-9. “I would hope to be able to place first or second at regionals and

the same thing at sectionals.

I’d say I’m doing fairly well for bumping up two weight classes.”

Junior Jack Pawlowicz is 26-8 at 170, and the Lions also have sophomore Mark Pivek, who’s listed at 145. He won 25 matches in 2013-14 at 152 and was a state alternate at that weight.

“Drew at 120 is having a good year,” Davis said. “We have the month of February coming up for him so that should be a big month. And our 170-pounder Jack Pawlowicz is having a good year. Hopefully he’ll have a good month of February and we’ll see where those guys will be.”

While Sonnefeldt has jumped two weight classes, Westmont

senior Adam Ferrell, who won nearly 30 matches last year and qualified for state at 170, dropped down to 160 for the 2014-15 campaign. Ferrell is just as effective at a lighter weight as demonstrated by his 25-4 record.

“Adam is doing phenomenal,” said Westmont coach Scott Helton. “We focused last year on getting better and not cutting all the weight, but he’s stepped down to the weight class he should have been at last year.

He’s done really, really well and getting better and better with every match and peaking at about the right time for regionals.”

Also hoping to go downstate

for a second consecutive year is heavyweight Anthony Griffiths, a junior. In addition to preparing for football season last summer—he plays guard and defensive tackle—Griffiths wrestled for ISI (Iron Sharpens Iron) Wrestling, a training school based in Crystal Lake.

“It definitely helped me with conditioning and takedowns,” said Griffiths (23-5), a thirdplace sectional finisher last year who won over 30 matches. “I definitely want to place (at state) this year, try to win regionals and get a good seed at sectionals and try to win sectionals.”

“He’s also peaking right now,” Helton said. “A couple of bumps along the road but he’s really

13

shining right now.”

Helton has eight on the varsity roster, including senior Brandon Goers (220), who’s 16-8.

“We’re getting better with every match we wrestle,” Helton said. “We’re putting in a lot of hard work and the kids are working their hardest in the (practice) room and just going at it, coming in every day looking to get better. For the past two years we’ve been looking at a lot of growth.

“We’re walking in (to regionals and sectionals) with fewer people this year, but we’re still liking our odds of getting most of us through to sectionals. It’s one of the toughest sectionals in the state.”

benedictine

Eagles beat Edgewood, move to 12-2 in NACC Men drop second straight game The Benedictine University women’s basketball team won for the 12th time this year, moving past Edgewood 69-52 on the road Saturday afternoon.

Briana Hamilton hit a jump shot with 16:47 left in the opening half to put Benedictine ahead for the first time at 5-4.

The basket was part of a 9-0 run that saw Benedictine grab an eight-point lead. Edgewood was able to take the lead by scoring 11 consecutive points in a run that began just past the midpoint of the first, opening a 1915 lead with 5:21 to go. The back and forth first half continued as

the Benedictine defense allowed just one basket the remainder of the half, closing with a 10-2 spurt to lead 25-21 at the half.

Alena Moro connected on a jumper with just over a minute remaining for the final points of the half.

Edgewood opened the second half by scoring six unanswered points to take the lead.

Benedictine responded with

a surge of 18-5, taking control of the game. Alanna Ferry tied the score with a layup. DeKayla Crayton buried a jumper just before the halfway point of the half to make the score 43-32.

Edgewood could not get closer than seven the rest of the game.

Benedictine hit nine free throws in the final 1:22 to grab the win.

The contest featured three ties and five lead changes.

Benedictine, the top rebounding team in the conference and one of the best in the nation, held a 51-32 advantage on the glass.

Meghan Novak led all scorers with 20 points, her fourth game with 20 or more points this season including a second in a row. Novak owns 14 double-digit games this year. The senior also distributed five assists, hauled in eight rebounds, and finished a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line. Crayton tallied 13 points and 14 rebounds, a career best. Michelle Batty pitched in 10 points.

Benedictine (12-7, 12-2 NACC) hosted Concordia Chicago Tuesday night.

MEN The Benedictine University men’s basketball team dropped a second consecutive contest, falling 72-69 at Edgewood on Saturday.

Edgewood led for most of the game. Michael Blaszczyk hit one free throw on the first offensive possession to give Benedictine

a brief 1-0 edge. The hosts responded by scoring seven straight. Edgewood opened a double-figure lead at 18-7 with 11:54 to go in the first and led 36-26 at the break. Benedictine scored 10 of their 26 points in the first half from the free throw line, shooting only 30.4 percent from the field.

Benedictine rallied to within a single point early in the second when Kevin Rollins splashed home a three-pointer with 16:29 left. Rollins hit another three with 9:50 remaining to keep Benedictine within a point at 52-51. Edgewood rallied with an 8-2 run, allowing just two points on free throws, grabbing a seven-point advantage at 60-53.

Trailing by six points with under 30 seconds left, Benedictine battled to within a point on a three from Michael Blaszczyk with two seconds remaining, but Edgewood held on for the win.

Blaszczyk hit four threes in the game and led all scorers with 21 points. Tim McGinty added 13 points. Benedictine placed four in double figures with Rollins adding 12 and John Dodson 10. Benedictine held a 37-29 edge on the glass. Adam Reynolds grabbed 10 rebounds.

Benedictine shot 54.8 percent in the second half, finishing the contest at 44.4 percent.

Benedictine (12-8, 10-5 NACC) will travel to Aurora on Wednesday night.

Wedn esday, February 4, 2015 | bug lenewspapers.com redwings | from page 11 on to win, 65-35.

“It’s really just man-to-man pressure,” Kilbride said. “It’s really just capitalizing on some really talented athletes who are willing to work and work hard. That’s the key: they’re willing to work and go do it.”

The only recent blemish on Benet’s record took place Jan. 21 when Bishop-McNamara nipped the Redwings, 58-56 in overtime, on its home court. Schramek recalls how the team felt after that loss; it’s a feeling that she and her teammates don’t want to experience again anytime soon.

“People from Bishop Mac (were) storming the court (in celebration),” she said. “We knew that that feeling we had going into the locker room after the game, we never want to have that

feeling again.”

“We were all disappointed,” Kilbride said. “I told them, ‘We didn’t play a good game and I didn’t coach a good game.’ I told them when you have a game like that, it leaves a bad taste and all you can do is forget about, learn from it and try to get better the next time.”

The Redwings went six days between that loss and the Downers South matchup, but they didn’t let things fester.

“We learned different ways of how to guard a really good player (referring to Bishop-Mac’s Khadaizha Sanders, who verbally committed to Rutgers),” said Eshoo, who’s verbally committed to Bradley. We really focused on that over practice and also just to slow down on offense and get the best shot that we can possibly get. Working on running our

offense and getting solid shots was important.”

Kilbride, an assistant for 10 years, took over as head coach for Peter Paul, who retired at the end of last season after racking up over 600 wins in 29 years. Eshoo and Schramek started for Paul each of the past two seasons, but each said transitioning to Kilbride’s coaching style, as well as to his offensive and defensive philosophies, has gone well.

“I think it’s a little different, but definitely in a positive way because now this year we’re playing a lot faster and we’re pushing the ball,” Eshoo said. “We’re getting up on defense and pressing and that was the thing that we only did occasionally last year. So I really like it; I think it’s fun to play fast and play aggressive.”

“He lets us play and it’s not just running set plays; he just lets us

go,” Schramek added. “I really like him as a new coach.”

Kilbride said the leadership of his seniors is a big reason why his transition has been smooth.

“Peter and I partnered a lot, anyway, and I’ve know these girls,” he said. “It’s a really good group of kids. They’ve made my transition easier. The five seniors (Eshoo, Schramek, Hlavin, Morgan Thomalla and Colleen Pfister) have done a really good job of establishing a tone. When you have leadership from within the team, as a coach it makes it so much easier.”

•After the Redwings built up a 28-4 first-quarter lead at home vs. the Mustangs, they marched to a 30-point advantage (34-4) early in the second quarter. That 30-point lead proved to be their margin of victory.

Eshoo led a trio of Redwing

15

double-figure scorers with 15 points, Doyle chipped in with 12 and Elise Stout had 10. Addyson Wesolowski scored 13 points for the Mustangs and Kiera James added nine.

•Benet experienced a much tighter first quarter the next night at St. Viator, but led 15-13 at quarter’s end and the rout was on. The Redwings outscored St. Viator 13-4 in the second period, 24-12 in the third and 19-5 in the final quarter to win going away, 71-34.

Schramek and Eshoo each tallied 22 points and three 3-pointers, and Doyle had 10.

•Benet finished last week defeating Marist, 74-61, last Saturday, with four players in double figures. Schramek led the way with 19 points, Eshoo contributed 18, Stout had 15 and Doyle 11.

So many choices and so much floor By sue Becker space to navigate left me feeling come to order overwhelmed and frustrated. www.PilesToSmiles.com @BugleNewspapers It turns out I’m hardly alone in my reaction to A few years ago, I entered having too many options. the produce section of my Numerous studies newly remodeled grocery have concluded that store to purchase some satisfaction level drops tomatoes only to discover as people are given more that it was going to take choices. quite an effort to fulfill my For example, a joint mission. come to order The new and “improved” with sue becker study by researchers from Columbia and produce department was Stanford universities at least double the size of the old one, and it took me five concluded that “people actually minutes of intense searching to seemed to prefer to exercise their discover where the tomatoes were opportunities to choose in contexts located. There were dozens of where their choices were limited” tables displaying bin after bin of all and “they even performed better

in such limited-choice contexts.”

Translation: Fewer choices lead to greater satisfaction and better performance.

So what does this have to do with organizing?

I wonder if having too many possessions leads to a similar decline in satisfaction. One of the steps in the organizing process is to pare down the number of items one has so that only things that are useful or meaningful are kept.

Many of my clients have an abundance of items yet resist letting any go because they are sure they will need them “someday.” For example, they may have a closet packed with clothes but are reluctant to let go of any because each one has the potential to be just the right choice for an upcoming occasion.

Does having to choose which of the 11 pairs of black pants to wear or which of the 53 pairs of shoes

is just the right one lessen one’s quality of life?

If closets aren’t your sore spot, what about your overstuffed bookshelves, overflowing craft room or impassable basement?

Although they often insist otherwise, I imagine that this seemingly endless possibility of choices might actually cause people to be less satisfied than they realize.

So when does enough become too much? I’d love to hear your take on how the volume of items from which you have to choose impacts your satisfaction.

Logical ways to generate some passive income When it comes to passive income, I only invest in two things — real estate and good growth stock mutual funds royalties from the sales, some By dave ramsey people would call that passive dave says income. I get royalties from www.daveramsey.com @DaveRamsey the books I’ve written over the years, but the people who would call Dear Dave, that “passive income” I’ve been following didn’t follow me around your plan, and I’d like while I was working to find a way to make my tail off to write and a little more money on sell those things. To the side. Do you have me, it wasn’t passive any ideas for generating Dave Says income at all; it was a some passive income? money advice by business. Technically, Taiwan dave ramsey the government would Dear Taiwan, First, I want to make sure call it passive income. But they you’re not getting involved with don’t have anything to do with some get-rich-quick scheme, reality.

When it comes to passive like a nothing-down real estate seminar. “Passive income” is a income, I only invest in two term that’s sometimes attached things — real estate, for which I pay cash, and good growth stock to those sorts of things.

Passive income is pretty simple; mutual funds. Active income it’s income off of investments. In usually takes the form of a small other words, it’s money you set business idea or your career. aside that makes you money. That’s income that you, yourself, There’s not any other income are literally creating.

But that’s how I look at that that is real passive income.

If you wrote a book and got stuff. Some people may have a

different view on it, but I like to keep things simple.

It’s a smart buy!

Dear Dave, I’m following your plan and trying to find different ways to save money. What’s a good way to decide whether or not you need full-coverage insurance on an automobile?

Barbara Dear Barbara, I think you should look at a couple of things. First, you need full-coverage or collision if you don’t have a lot of money, because you’ll end up walking if the car gets totaled. You need this coverage even if it’s a $2,000 car. You might keep the deductible a little high to save on premiums and then, if something unexpected happens, you can cover the out-of-pocket expense with your emergency fund.

Let’s say you have $50,000 in savings. You’re driving a $5,000 car, and you decide to drop collision coverage because you’re thinking if you total it you can

First, I want to make sure you’re not getting involved with some getrich-quick scheme, like a nothing-down real estate seminar. “Passive income” is a term that’s sometimes attached to those sorts of things. just write a check and replace the car. You can, but then you have to look at the other side of the coin. What does this collision coverage cost per year versus the $5,000 risk you’re taking?

I’ve run those numbers a few times, and generally I find collision insurance to be a pretty smart buy!

What every parent needs to know about children’s heart health Pediatric cardiomyopathy is a potentially life-threatening disease (StatePoint) When thinking of heart disease, older adults typically come to mind, but children also can have heart disease, often with more devastating outcomes. Pediatric cardiomyopathy is a potentially lifethreatening disease and the leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in children.

Cardiomyopathy is a chronic disease of the heart muscle that affects the heart ability to pump blood. Some children who have the disease can be symptom-free and are unknowingly at risk for SCA. Approximately 2,000 people under 25 die of SCA every year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but there are preventative measures for families.

In many cases, if cardiomyopathy is detected early and managed properly, sudden cardiac death can be prevented, says Lisa Yue, a parent who lost two children

to cardiomyopathy and founder of the Children Cardiomyopathy Foundation (CCF). The Foundation is working to call attention to the disease. Knowing the symptoms and risk factors for cardiomyopathy can help save lives.

Know the Symptoms Currently there is no formal cardiac screening process for children.

While pediatricians can respond to more obvious symptoms, identifying pediatric cardiomyopathy can be challenging because some affected children are symptom-free. It is not uncommon for cardiomyopathy to be missed or misdiagnosed as a cold, flu or asthma.

Symptoms include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, fainting, chest pain, dizziness, heart palpitations and fatigue. Infants may experience poor weight gain,

difficulty breathing, excessive sweating or lethargy. It is important for parents to communicate concerns to the pediatrician.

Know the Risk Factors Cardiomyopathy can occur in any child and be inherited or acquired through a viral infection or from cancer chemotherapy,” explains Steven Lipshultz, M.D., pediatrician-in-chief of Children Hospital of Michigan and chair of CCF medical advisory board.

Since the majority of cardiomyopathies are inherited, understanding a family cardiac history is the best way to prevent

premature death. Hereditary risk factors include having a family member who is disabled by heart disease, has died of heart disease before age 50, or was diagnosed with Long QT syndrome, cardiomyopathy, Marfan syndrome or a heart rhythm issue. Family members who exhibit symptoms such as chest pain, discomfort upon exertion, fatigue, fainting or high blood pressure should be evaluated by a cardiologist.

Protecting At-Risk Young Athletes Adolescents with an underlying heart condition like cardiomyopathy

are at a higher risk for SCA due to increased physical activity and certain body changes. SCA is the top cause of death on school property, and according to the American Heart Association these deaths occur most commonly in highintensity sports.

To help keep young athletes safe, Senator Robert Menendez, Representatives Lois Capps and Bill Pascrell, Children Cardiomyopathy Foundation and the National Athletic Trainers Association introduced the Supporting Athletes, Families, and Educators to Protect the Lives of Athletic Youth (SAFE PLAY) Act, with provisions to protect student athletes from SCA.

For more information For more information about cardiomyopathy, visit www. childrenscardiomyopathy.org.

Whether children are at home, in school or on the sports field, it is important for parents to understand the symptoms and risk factors of the disease.
