LIFE SAVING CALL Woodridge 4th grader recognized for making 911 call that helped save grandmother

Marc Schmidt’s quick-thinking 911 call helped to save his grandmother, according to Woodridge School District 68. Members of the Woodridge Police Department visited William F. Murphy Elementary School Oct. 11 to recognize fourth grader Marc

Schmidt for his bravery and assistance when calling 911 from his home over the weekend. Schmidt’s parents were out of town, and he was alone with his grandmother when he heard her cries for help. He immediately called 911 and

total sign area (including both sides of a sign) does not exceed 32 square feet. In commercial areas, the same restrictions apply, provided total sign area does not exceed 100 square feet. Regulations pertain to the total permitted sign area for all political signs (not per candidate), and there is no time limit on how long signs can remain in place. Cam-

paign signs are not permitted in the parkway, which is typically the grassy area between the sidewalk and the street curb. Residents can access the village code via the village website, www.vil.woodridge.il.us, for more information. Individuals can also contact the Community Development Department at 630-7194750.

titles are priced affordably. Hours for the book sale are 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Income earned from the sale will be used to fund projects supported by the FOL, including prizes for the summer reading programs, the monthly “Adventures in Travel” series and miscellaneous equipment and requirements not included in the Public Library budget. “We are proud to support our library, one of the best in the western suburbs. We hope readers in the Downers Grove area will come to our book sale for some incredi-

ble titles, at very reasonable rates,” FOL President Joni Hansen said. “Anyone who uses the Downers Grove Library knows what an incredible resource it is to the community,” Hansen continued. “We invite any residents interested in giving back to their community with a minimal time commitment consider becoming a board member of the Downers Grove FOL.” The Downers Grove Friends of the Library is a volunteer group that is known for its monthly “Adventures in Travel” programs and for helping the Downers Grove Library with various projects. There will be a membership drive throughout the month of October.

volunteers from Home Depot and the local community descended upon the construction site to install the sod, sand and mulch, to plant the trees and shrubs, and to cut and lay the bricks being provided under the grant. The new Memorial site is located in downtown Lisle at 921 School St. In mid 2015, a Lisle Veterans’ Memorial Committee was appointed by the village to raise the funds necessary to construct the new memorial, which replaces a memorial constructed more than 20 years ago in Community Park. Karen Burris, along with her husband Dan, leads the Veterans’ Memorial Committee. She said the grant put them “over the top”

of their fundraising goal. Since being notified of the grant, the Burris’ won the Illinois Association of Park District’s Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award for their efforts in publicizing and fundraising for the Memorial. Dan Garvey, director of parks and recreation, said he is “looking forward to working with the volunteers” and incorporating the grant components into the overall construction efforts of the memorial. The Home Depot Foundation partners with nonprofits to honor veterans and support local communities. This grant is part of Home Depot’s commitment to grow its support for veteran-related causes to $250 million by 2020.

cOlumn >> tO yOur mental health

Line between fate & choice there still might be times when we give in to the lure of superstition BY JasoN florIN BuglE columniSt A basic part of my morning routine involves starting the coffeemaker and then choosing the day’s coffee mug. The cabinet displays a great variety of sizes, shapes and colors to pick from. As I scan my options on this particular fall morning, I notice a red and blue emblem peeking through from the back row. I pull it forward and see it’s a Chicago Cubs logo, and this day just happens to be the opening game of the playoffs. Even though I haven’t used this mug in months, during which time the team has won the most games in baseball on their way to a division title, today it feels like they cannot possibly win unless I choose their mug. I can almost feel the stars aligning as fate draws me to select the cup that will assure the team a victory. So, I succumb to the delusion. In a classic episode of the TV show “The Office,” boss Michael Scott explains that he is not super-stitious, but he is a little “stitious.” Even if we are rational and level headed in most of our daily encounters, there still might be times when we give in to the lure of superstition. We cross our fingers for luck, avoid walking under a ladder or

tO yOur mental health BY JAsoN FloRiN even pump a little extra gas to make sure the last three numbers don’t read 6-6-6. The concept of superstition is that we believe we can control events that are really outside of our control. These magical beliefs become stronger if the outcome happens to go our way. When the Cubs won their game the night I used that coffee mug, I made sure it was the only thing I drank out of for the rest of the weekend. On the one hand, this kind of behavior is all in good fun – a harmless way of trying to be part of something bigger. On the other hand, an over-reliance on superstition can turn against us. Instead of focusing on choices that can have a meaningful impact in our lives, we waste energy on what we cannot control. As hard as we might try, we can’t change what others do and think, let alone how the universe will unfold. The irony of superstition is that our misguided effort at greater control only leads us to have less control in our lives. Numerous research studies suggest that when we believe that we steer our own lives – known as an internal locus of control – we feel better,

perform better and experience greater success. We also take responsibility for our actions, rather than chalking it up to fate or bad luck. The opposite occurs when we see our lives as a rudderless ship, tossed whichever way the wind and currents decide. This lack of power – known as an external locus of control – is associated with higher rates of depression, lack of self-esteem and lower life satisfaction. These beliefs also lead to stepping back from important life situations, since it feels as if we have no influence over the outcome. By recognizing that we have choices to make, as well as how important those choices are, we can create a meaningful life. Yet when it comes to the areas we cannot change, it’s equally important to accept that we don’t have total control. So you can keep the quirky routines that provide a small sense of connectedness, just as long as you don’t take them too seriously. After all, the best way to avoid tempting fate is to take control of it. P.S. If the Cubs don’t win it all this year, you can’t blame me – I’m still using the same mug.

Woodridge PD hires new chief of police 30-year veteran Brian cunningham leaves naperville police Department The village of Woodridge announced this week that Brian Cunningham was hired as the village’s next chief of police. The hire culminates a statewide search and recruitment process that included gathering input from the community at large and a community interview panel, which reflected the leadership and diversity of Woodridge. Cunningham comes from the Naperville Police Department, where he has had a 30-year distinguished law enforcement

career and most recently served as deputy chief in charge of the investigations division. “We are excited to have Brian begin his duties as Woodridge’s next chief of police,” Woodridge Mayor Gina Cunningham said. “He has an impressive background in policing and an excellent reputation in the law enforcement community. We look forward to his continuing to grow the programs and relationships the Woodridge Police Department has with our community.”

brian Cunningham iNCoMiNg WooDRiDgE poliCE ChiEF The mayor, who shared a first name with former Woodridge Police Chief Gina Grady, joked that she will now share a last name with the village’s new chief. Despite the

coincidence, the two are not related. When asked about his new designation, the Woodridge police chief said he is honored by the opportunity. “I look forward to meeting community members, as well as getting to know the men and women that make up the Woodridge Police Department and the rest of the village of Woodridge staff,” Cunningham said. Cunningham has more than 17 years of executive, command and supervisory experience and has 15 years of command experience with the DuPage County Major Crimes

Task Force. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Governor’s State University, he attended Northwestern University Staff and Command, Colorado State University Rocky Mountain Leadership course and the Senior Management Institute for Policing. He is a member of the Naperville Honor Guard Unit, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and has served as an adjunct professor at the College of DuPage. Cunningham is scheduled to be sworn in as police chief at the Nov. 3 Woodridge Village Board meeting.

local golfers enjoy successful sectional and state tournaments By marK grEgory Sports reporter @hear_the_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

At the Oswego Sectional meet at Blackberry Oaks Golf Course in Oswego, Benet’s Jack Neenan made his entrance into the state meet in dramatic fashion. After posting a 38-38 – 76 during his round, Neenan was in a playoff with five other players for the final two spots in the field for the state meet. Neenan left nothing to question as he carded an eagle 2 on the par-four first hole, the initial playoff hole, to lock in his spot. He hit driver to the fringe of the green on the 343-yard hole and then chipped in from just off the putting surface to earn the eagle. “I was happy I hit a good drive and I put myself in a good spot,” Neenan said. “Everything was going my way – I just wanted to get something close. After watching the other guys, I knew a birdie would do it and I just wanted to get something close.”

Neenan was only in the playoff because of one bad hole earlier in the round. “I was so bummed after I had a double [bogey] on 17,” he said. “I thought I might have ruined my chances right there.” He joined teammate Austin Feldman, who advanced with a second-place 71. Brendan O’Reilly of Hinsdale Central was the medalist with a three-under-par 69. “I hit the ball well,” Feldman said. “I was coming out here looking to put up a low number and I did. I putted well. I kept it pretty straight off the tee and I only had 25 putts today, which is good for me and I was really happy with that.” This is the first time going to state for both of the Redwing seniors. At the state meet, Feldman finished 31st in the state with a two-day total of 156, while Neenan was tied for 32nd with a 157.

Locals primed for state playoffs By marK grEgory Sports reporter @hear_the_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

As calendar flips to October, the weather may cool off, but the local volleyball action heats up as teams prepare for the IHSA playoffs. Benet is the No. 2 seed in the IHSA Class 4A Marist Sectional and will compete in the Lemont Regional. Defending state champion Mother McAuley is the No. 1 and is also the team that eliminated Benet from the playoffs a season ago. The Redwings will open play on Tuesday, Oct. 25 against the winner of No. 15 Bolingbrook

tony holler @pntrack “congrats Spc Xc champ @Knudsen_soren4 and coach crowe @pShScougarsXctF 2016 team champs.” Plainfield Swimming @pfldswimming “2nd place finish at Stevenson invite. Team won 5 individual events and both free relays!” andrew turner @maineSouthath “2016 cSl Boys and girls cross country conference champions.” Benet Varsity Soccer @BenetmensSoccer “connor mote had a hat trick securing a win against Fenton 3-2.”

and No. 19 Eisenhower at 5:30 p.m. Like it was a year ago with Mother McAuley – Benet is on a collision course with other teams deserving to be in the state finals. “Our sectional is regarded as the toughest sectional in the state,” said Benet coach Brad Baker. “Our sectional will meet up with the Geneva Sectional and three of four highest nationally ranked teams are in those two sectionals. Some of the very best and deserving teams will not make it down.” Downers Grove North and South also find themselves in the Marist Sectional. North is the No. 6 seed and is in the Stagg Regional. The Trojans will open play Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 6:30 p.m. against the winner of No. 11 Hinsdale South and No. 22 Simeon. “We are excited about our opportunity in the regional pairings having earned the No. 6 seed,” said North coach Mark Wasik. “If we can get past Hinsdale South in the regional semifinal, we are likely to play the No. 3 seed in Marist who we played in the quarterfinals at the Wheaton Classic. We lost but it was highly competitive, 25-17, 18-25, 22-25.” Downers Grove South is the No. 8 seed and will face No. 9 Hinsdale Central in the Hinsdale

golf from page 7 Joining them locally was Aidan Lafferty from Downers Grove North, who carded a 37 on the front nine and a 37 on the back to post a qualifying score of 74. “The course was set up really well for me,” Lafferty said. “It was short and tight and you have to hit it in the right spots. I just went out and played relaxed, calm golf and didn’t let anything get to me. I knew there were birdies out there and I knew there would be good scores and I just went out and let myself play.” Lafferty also tied for 32nd with a 157.

cOlumn >> dave says

At 95 don’t worry about future investing If comfortable with ﬁnances, just leave things alone Dear DaVe, My mom is 95 years old, and she’s in amazing health. Financially speaking, she has about $150,000 in Certificates of Deposit, money market accounts and savings bonds. Is there a better place she can invest her money? aNoNYmous Dear aNoNYmous, Certainly there are other investment vehicles that will make much more money than CDs, money markets and savings bonds. However, at your mom’s age people aren’t generally investing for the long haul, unless they’re investing it for their heirs. If she’s comfortable with her finances, I’d suggest just leaving things alone. Don’t try to force her into something new. At her age she may still have bad memories of the Great Depression and a negative perception of the stock market. In a case like that, mutual funds might make her fearful. I wouldn’t take the chance of robbing a 95-year-old lady of her peace to try and do the “proper” thing with money. However, if she’s agreeable to the idea of doing a little better with her money, you could start by moving a little into growth stock or balanced stock mutual funds. But do some-

thing like this only if the change won’t upset her and leave her fretting over her money. What we want for your mom is financial peace. — DaVe

hOw much is tOO much FOr a wedding?

Dear DaVe, In your opinion, what is the limit you can responsibly spend for a wedding if the people involved have debt? Paul Dear Paul, The cost of the average wedding in America rose to $32,641 last year. But when it comes to what you can reasonably afford, I think it becomes relative to exactly how much debt you have and what kind of income we’re talking about. If you have $5,000 in debt but you make $150,000 a year, stop worrying, pay off your debt, and save up for a great wedding. If you make $28,000 a year but you have $30,000 in debt, then you need to have a really minimal wedding. Anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 would be reasonable in that kind of situation — and even then it’s going to be tight.

dave SayS By Dave Ramsey

The more debt you have in relation to your income, the smaller your wedding expenses should be. A $32,000 wedding would be ridiculous for someone with a $28,000 income. But $28,000 is a below-average income, so you shouldn’t reasonably expect an average wedding in terms of cost. It really all boils down to ratios. Just remember, Paul, the amount of money spent on the ceremony, reception and all that stuff isn’t what’s important. It’s the love that two people have for each other that makes the ceremony special and the marriage one that will last a lifetime! — DaVe Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business, and CEo of Ramsey solutions. he has authored seven best-selling books. the Dave Ramsey show is heard by more than 12 million listeners each week on 575 radio stations and multiple digital platforms.
