Robber used bomb threat to rob Subway

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

IMAGE COURTESY NASA

The polar vortex is a whirling and persistent large area of low pressure, found typically over both North and South poles. The northern polar vortex was pushing southward over western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota on Jan. 6 and was bringing frigid temperatures to half of the continental United States.

A man was arrested for using a bomb threat to rob a Subway in Skokie.

Police allege that Mark A. Brown, 46, entered the Subway at 4925 Dempster on Jan. 1 and instructed the clerk to open the cash drawer, reportedly making it appear he had a weapon inside his jacket.

Brown then grabbed $272 from the cash register, placed a bag on the counter and told the clerk it was a bomb. Brown fled the scene on foot but was later arrested at his Skokie residence in the 8900 block of Lavergne Avenue.

It was determined that the bag left behind at the Subway did not contain a bomb, said authorities. Brown is charged with Aggravated Robbery and Bomb Threat.

Con artists use ‘pigeon drop’ to scam elderly woman out of $5,000 Two women approached elderly woman claiming to be working with police enforcement in Dempster St. Walgreens

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

Authorities are searching for two women who tricked an 84-year old woman out of $5,000 outside a Morton Grove Walgreens using a “Pigeon drop” confidence scam.

In this scam,con artists convince their victim, the “pigeon,” to give up a sum of money to secure the rights to a larger sum of money, or more valuable object. In reality, the scammers make off with the money, and the mark is left with nothing.

In this case the victim, a Morton Grove senior citizen, was approached by a white woman, believed to be 50-years old, while leaving the Walgreens on Dempster Street about 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 19.

Police allege the white suspect asked the victim if she dropped a manila envelope in the store.

While they were talking, a black woman believed to be in her 30s, entered the conversation and offered the victim a manila envelope.

The victim denied the envelope was hers before the three women opened it to find

antique coins inside. The black suspect told the victim she worked at a neighboring law office and reportedly took the coins to have the lawyer review them, police said.

When she retuned a few moments later, she claimed her boss valued the coins at $100,000 and reportedly said her employer knew someone who would buy the collectables if the

three women wanted to pay for falsified ownership certificates.

It was then police say the white suspect left and quickly returned from a bank with $12,000 to pay for the documents. The white

suspect then walked down to the law office and allegedly returned to the victim with three times as much money. She then encouraged the elderly victim to go withdraw money as well.

The victim then went to a bank, took out a $5,000 cash advance on her Visa card and returned to the Walgreens. At that point only the black suspect was present and told the victim she could get $25,000 total for the $5,000 investment.

The victim agreed to the transaction and the black suspect took the victim’s money, walked toward the law office and never returned.

The victim waited about 45 minutes before driving to the Morton Grove police station to file a report. When police investigated, they found the women had no affiliation with the law office whatsoever.

“So far we’re the only ones that has had this scam happen in the area,” said Morton Grove Police Cmdr. Paul Yaras. He said they have since contacted neighboring law enforcement to notify them of the scam and the suspects.

Anyone with similar experiences or who may have witnessed the woman getting conned are asked to call the Morton Grove police department at (847) 470-5200.

Officer shot during standoff to fully recover from injuries Officer injured during Arlington Heights standoff has been released from hospital after weeks in surgical intensive care unit

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

The Arlington Heights police officer shot in the chin when a Niles man took a woman hostage is expected to make a full recovery.

Michael McEvoy, a 20-year veteran of the department, was shot while responding to a domestic incident in the 1900 block of Windham Court on Dec. 12.

The alleged shooter was identified as Eric M. Anderson of Niles. After he was shot by police, he was taken to Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights and pronounced dead at 11:02 p.m., according to the Cook County

Medical Examiner’s Office.

As previously reported by The Bugle, McEvoy, 52, and three other officers went to the town home that night and saw the woman that called had fled to a neighbor’s house while Anderson was allegedly holding her daughter hostage.

After the shooting McEvoy was removed from the scene by the other officers. Arlington Heights Deputy Fire Chief Ken Koeppen happened to be visiting in the 1900 block of Windham Court and rushed to the town home to help the wounded McEvoy.

“It was an act of God that [Koeppen] was visiting,” said Arlington Heights Police Cmdr.

“This building doesn’t handle extreme temperatures very well,” said Niles Village Manager Steven Vinezeano.

And once the weather rose to a few degrees above zero on Jan. 8, the city and suburbs began to experience new problems. Many

of the water main pipes that froze over the previous two days had begun to thaw and spray water. In Des Plaines, water pipes located near the Iroquois School’s front entrance burst about a half-hour after school began at 8 a.m. Niles also experienced a water main break at Milwaukee and Ballard around 3:43 p.m.

On Jan. 10, rain combined with melting snow from the previous four days led to widespread flooding at locations like the underpass on Dempster Street under Milwaukee Avenue around 4:29 p.m.

Hands Off My Tree New committee legislation would regulate trees on private, public property and their uses The Environmental Practices Committee is working on a tree law that would regulate trees on public and private property.You’ll no longer be able to hang a swing, build a tree house, or even cut your own tree without government permission. It includes shrubs and “other plants” taller than 24 inches. This isn’t the Niles I voted for.

Why do we need another law telling us what to do? The “reason” behind the law is to satisfy four requirements put together by the Arbor Day Foundation, the friendly face of the International Society of Arborists, a professional group for foresters. Illinois spends $81 million a year on trees, and much of that goes to foresters. Follow the money, and you can see that their sample tree ordinance reads like a goody bag of full employment for foresters.

A city can be designated a Tree City even if there isn’t a single tree in existence, but only if it hires a forester. Then it needs a Tree Board, a tree law, an annual budget of $2/citizen and an Arbor Day observance. No actual trees are required to become a Tree City. Now, there’s nothing wrong with becoming a Tree City, and the “model ordinance” doesn’t

even have to include trees on private property.That’s a local addition.

When you buy your house, you own those trees that are there.

When you plant a tree on your own private property, you own that tree as well. Why do you need permission to manage your own property as you see fit? What public health issues have come by way of trees to Niles? Everything has worked out just fine all these years.

Niles also has a giant forest running right up its middle – the Cook County Forest Preserve.

We’re not at a loss for trees here. Plus, the law may have an unintended consequence of planting less or fewer trees than private property owners would have, thereby avoiding the law altogether.

Niles could go on just as it has for the last 114 years and allow private property owners the quiet enjoyment of their own property. Was it so bad before when children swung on tree swings or played in tree houses?

Even shrubs are included. Section 106-32 prohibits you from even hanging Christmas or any kind of lights. That’s not too invasive is it?

When you put trees before

when you buy your house, you own those trees thAt Are there. when you plAnt A tree on your own privAte property, you own thAt tree As well. why do you need permission to mAnAge your own property As you see fit? people, you’re wrong.

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve got no dog in this fight. I cut down two, 30-foot pine trees that were ruining my sidewalks and harming my roof. I did that back in the good old days of tree liberty. How did we get here?

Many of the people putting this ordinance together are good, kind people who wouldn’t dream of dictating your life to you.What happens when you elect them or put them on a committee to make them change? By what right do they get to dictate their personal preferences to the rest of us via force of law?

America is founded on individual liberty, and strong personal property rights are a major part of that. This law goes too far. Cut out the regulation of trees on private property, and you have a good law that still achieves the Tree City designation.

Niles was and is a desirable and wonderful place to live. Let’s stop trying to reinvent it in the image of Park Ridge or Evanston or Wilmette.

it reaches even further across cultures and social need groups.

Parish outreach groups host nonsectarian gatherings for drug and alcohol recovery, fraternal organizations, food/clothing drives and even musical concerts.

When the Parish was established in summer of 1953, the Founding Pastor was Monsignor John J. Flanagan. Starting with an initial community of 400 families, the parish was named for St. John Brebeuf, one of the five Jesuit North American Martyrs. St. John Brebeuf was born in 1593 in Normandy, France, and spent his early years on the family farm before entering the priesthood.

He did most of his great works with Indian tribes in Canada before being killed in 1649. He was canonized in 1930.

The school building is also home to the Nicolaus Copernicus School of Polish Language and culture. Religious education and preparation for the sacraments is also made available for children

and young adults who do not attend a Catholic school. Adult education is a continuing process featuring marriage preparation and Bible study.

As part of the 60th anniversary celebration in 2013, SJB launched a capital campaign based on prayer, stewardship, involvement and information called “To Teach Who Christ Is”. “SJB was chosen by the Archdiocese of Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George as a pilot for an Archdiocesan-wide campaign to raise funds for Catholic education and faith formation,” Meany said. The three year campaign is designed to raise awareness of how Christ guides everyday living.

“We are excited to be one of the pilot parishes in this multi-year campaign which will eventually involve most parishes in the Chicago area,” Meany added. “We hope the entire Niles area joins in and helps us continue celebrating our anniversary and see what St. John Brebeuf means to the community.”

Horoscopes Like Goldilocks, your complaints might be “this one is too big and this one is too small” in the week ahead. Loved ones might remind you to focus on saving money, especially when you brashly act on competitive impulses.

Focus your attention on the people who love you unconditionally, not just those who only love you when the conditions are just right. During the upcoming week, you may be thrifty and unwilling to accept less than the best.

There is definitely a law of attraction. In the week ahead, you’ll learn that like attracts like, so sometimes someone at odds with you will seem familiar. You can’t however blame yourself if you’re a victim of someone else’s agenda.

Get real. You can realign your perspective this week if you acknowledge and accept responsibility for your judgments. You’re faking it if you pretend they don’t exist or that you always maintain a nonjudgmental attitude.

Events in the week ahead may remind you that you attract what you put forth. For instance, if you do your best at every facet of your job or watch your diet you’ll enjoy peace of mind when all the minor details are in place.

In the week ahead, concentrate on relocating your thoughts from the abstract to the tangible.

You can take practical steps for further development of your creative talents. If you’re passionate about something, move forward.

When you’re confident of your worth, it’s not necessary to struggle to prove your value to others. In the week ahead, don’t get carried away by self-doubts. Your success depends on selfdiscipline not self-sacrifice.

You might aspire to become proficient in some aspect of teaching or entertainment in the week ahead. Your passion for some idea or learning project can make you a leader or earn some unexpected recognition.

Be honest in situations in which previously you maintained silence. There may be times this week when you’re tempted to tell a white lie because the facts are embarrassing, but only through the truth can you eradicate awkwardness.

Arguments fade when confronted by abundance. Your life is filled with opportunities and possibilities, so your biggest challenge is to choose which one to embrace. In the week ahead, apply logic to make wise choices.

As the week unfolds, you may realize that some problems you’ve been dealing with at work or with your health are due to matters outside your control.

Other problems, however, are within your control if you persevere.

While each person possesses a gift, some have refined and polished their abilities. Facing aggressiveness or defensiveness from others can improve your talents in the week to come. Like a pearl, it takes abrasions to shine.

Slowek helps Demons down Resurrection

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Elanta Slowek knows all about the dedication and hard work it takes to be a top tier track and field athlete.

Over the past several months, the senior has applied some of the training she’s used to become a two-time state qualifying long jumper to the hardwood.

Slowek’s athleticism was on display Jan.8 as she helped propel the Demons to a 48-38 victory over visiting Resurrection, scoring eight of her 13 points in the third quarter.

“I just take those techniques— weightlifting, running, sprint work and agility—all that and I transfer it to basketball,” Slowek explained. “Along with that, I practice shooting and ballhandling and a lot of defensive work.”

Although Slowek’s offense was the catalyst that gave the Demons some breathing room against the Bandits in the third quarter,she’s embraced a defense first mindset this season.

“Basically my coach (Karol Hanusiak) told me at the end of last year, ‘What’s going to make you from good to great is your defense,’ ” Slowek said. “I (also) started eating way better. Cut the pop, cut the junk, cut the chips.

Water, juices and better food.”

Playing their first game since finishing third at the KSA Events Classic Basketball Tournament at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. over two weeks ago, the Demons relied on defense to carry them through the first half. Maine East limited Resurrection to four firstquarter points and the Demons took a 20-12 lead into halftime.

“I think they were just so excited to play, as fun as Florida was, to be back home, to be back on their home floor,” Hanusiak

said.“They knew Rez was a huge game from a sectional seeding standpoint, so they played a really good game.

“I think our flatness and our lack of playing for that long showed in our offense. We took some really good shots (during the first half) and there was just a lid on the basket. Nothing fell, but we just kept telling them, ‘Just keep taking the shots, they’re going to fall’ and they did.”

The Demons’ offense caught up with their defense in the third quarter. Five straight points

by Bandits’ junior Monica Nunez (team-high 13 points) cut Maine East’s lead to 22-17, but it was all Demons from that point on.

Maine East outscored Rez 14-3 the rest of the quarter.

Slowek and Shaylee Sloan, who tallied a game-high 20 points, assisted each other on consecutive baskets that put the Demons ahead, 32-21.

“Any given night it could be any one or any two,” said Hanusiak, referring to Sloan and Slowek carrying the team offensively.

But Hanusiak added that the Demons aren’t exclusively dependent on the duo.

“We’ve had games where Maria (Protic) has scored 25, and we’ve had Jaz(lene Gonzalez) and Janelle (Alba-Garner) score in the teens, so I have literally six kids that are capable of scoring in double digits every night,” she said.

Slowek later extended the lead to 36-23 after driving to the basket for a deuce and then hitting a jumper in the paint.

“We just came out flat from the holidays,” said Resurrection coach Keith Miniscalco. “We’ve been off for three days, but that’s no excuse for us. We don’t Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Hawks hold off Wolves’ second half rally

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Maine South and Niles West’s boys basketball teams faced each other in a CSL South contest last Friday—both clubs’ first game in the new year and their first since completing play at the Proviso West and Pontiac holiday tournaments, respectively.

The Hawks and Wolves had to work out some kinks as each team was idle for around two weeks, but Maine South jumped out to a 31-16 halftime advantage and held off runs by the Wolves in the second half to win, 50-41.

“A lot of times coming out of breaks you’re in survival mode,” Maine South coach Tony Lavorato said. “You need to get your legs back underneath you. You’re never going to be as tight as you want to be, but it’s something to build off of and I thought our kids showed some resilience and poise.”

The Hawks (10-3, 4-0) led 4232 early in the fourth quarter on a free throw by 6-7 George Sargeant, who scored 10 of his game-high 18 points in the second half. However, the Wolves whittled the Hawks’ lead down to five points twice during the game’s closing minutes—44-39 with 3:17 to go on three-pointer from sophomore guard Jojo Rios, and 46-41 a minute later on a Rios free throw.

The Hawks, though, gave themselves some breathing room when Sean Maloney went in for a backdoor layup with under a minute remaining. Then Caleb deMarigny sank two free throws to nail down the victory.

“We expected (a Niles West comeback) and we were fortunate enough to withstand it,” Lavorato said. “I was pleased; I thought we came out with focus. The biggest thing is that we’re getting better. We’re not a finished product, and I thought we took a step in the right direction tonight.”

A 9-0 Hawks run enabled them to grab an 11-3 first-quarter lead.

Senior guard Andrew Palucki carried the Hawks offensively during the second quarter, scoring nine in the period. He finished with 12—all coming in the first half.

“I think we were just playing really well together,” Palucki Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

George Sargeant scored 18 points in Maine South’s win over Niles West Friday.

Maine South girls shut down Niles W.

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Maine South overcame an 1817 deficit to Niles West early in the third quarter by going on a 16-0 run to capture a 35-23 win last Friday. The Hawks held Niles West (5-8, 1-4) to only seven points in the second half.

The victory put Maine South (11-7 overall) over the .500 mark in league play (3-2). Hailey Schoneman had game highs of 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Hawks, and sophomore Julia Spuria added 10 points and nine boards. Alex Galanopoulos set the pace for Niles West offensively with 12 points.

Maine East visited Maine West in a battle of CSL North undefeated teams last Friday,

DEMONS Continued from page 11 play that way. Maine East had the same time off we did. They played a great first half, and No. 3 (Slowek) is a great player. We couldn’t stop her.”

“We weren’t a third-quarter team as of last year, and a little bit at the beginning of this year,”

HAWKS Continued from page 12 said of the Hawks’ first-half performance. “We had a lot of back doors and assisting on a lot of baskets.”

Niles West started this season 4-1, but the loss to Maine South was the Wolves’ seventh straight.

Yet Wolves coach Bob Williams said the team’s push to get back into the game during the second half was encouraging.

“We made some adjustments at halftime, so I thought that was good,” Williams said. “I thought we got hurt big in the first half by Maine South’s effort. Transition plays, rebound plays, those kinds of things, and that should never happen to us. We got outplayed and that hurt us.

“I thought in the second half it was the other side of the coin.

I thought we played really hard and I was proud of our kids.”

and the Warriors knocked the Demons from the unbeaten ranks, 47-26. The Warriors, now 5-0 in the conference, benefited from an 18-0 run in the second half to stun the Demons, who slipped to 3-1. Prior to that run, the Demons led 24-20 with around six minutes to go in the third quarter on a layup by Janell Alba-Garner.

Jazlene Gonzalez and Shaylee Sloan each had eight points for Maine East (10-5).

Resurrection rebounded from their loss earlier last week to Maine East by topping St. Joseph, 55-43, on Jan. 9. Taylor Farrell finished with 16 points, Kate Moriarty collected 13 points and five rebounds, and Gabriella Galassini, a sophomore from Park Ridge, had nine points.

Maine East was hoping to ride the momentum it gained after winning the Luther North holiday tournament into its CSL North matchup last Friday versus District 207 rival Maine West. However, Maine West short-circuited that with a 7159 triumph over the Demons.

Maine East, which is seeking its first CSL North victory (0-4), was led by Abby George’s 19 points and Ashoor Doushow’s 11. The Demons host Deerfield Thursday night.

Slowek said.“In order to win our games, it’s defense.”

The Bandits did close to 4336 with 1:43 to go on a Nunez trey, but the Demons pulled away. Hanusiak said she was a bit concerned over how the Demons would respond after being idle since Dec. 21—their final tourney game in Florida.

“The Monday we came back, the 30th, we had just a horrible practice and that’s where I was

going, ‘All right, what’s going on?’ ” she said. “We were off for another two days and we came back that Friday and just had an awesome practice on Friday and Saturday.

“School was closed Monday and Tuesday (Jan. 6 and 7), but the kids got together yesterday (Jan. 7) at the park (Feldman Park in Des Plaines) and they ran their own practice. They knew they had to get a ball in

Magloire netted 13 of his teamhigh 15 points during the second half. His scoring output helped ease the absence of senior guard Ahmad Gibson, who sprained his ankle two minutes into the third quarter and hobbled off the court. Williams is confident Gibson will be ready to go when the Wolves tangle with Evanston this Friday.

“I thought we played really hard,especially in the second half,” Williams said. “It’s a testament to their discipline and their tradition as a winning program that when we cut it down to five, they always had those long possessions where they got themselves a very good shot. When you get yourself in a hole like we did, every basket becomes so important. Had we played a little harder in the first half …”

Conversely, Lavorato wasn’t pleased with how the first three minutes of the second half went for the Hawks, which allowed Niles West to get back into the game.

“When you’re up like that, we always talk about the first three minutes of the second half as being the most important,” Lavorato said. “To Niles West’s credit, they beat us in the first three minutes, and that’s why we were a little disappointed.

We didn’t get the ball where we wanted to be and we turned it over, but that has a lot to do with coming back and getting legs and being tight.”

Following Saturday’s 59-41 victory over Taft—a game in which Sargeant scored 21 points and deMarigny had 20 points and seven rebounds—the Hawks undertake a rugged schedule.

They’ll play six games in seven days, including two games each on Saturday and Monday, Jan. 20 at the Martin Luther King tourney in Galesburg.

GOLF Magazine recognizes Mistwood After two years of course construction that resulted in a substantial face-lift, owner Jim McWethy looks upon Mistwood Golf Club in suburban Chicago with satisfaction and pride because the golf world has noticed.

GOLF Magazine has awarded Mistwood with its “Best U.S. Renovation You Can Play” honors for 2013.

The recognition comes as part of GOLF Magazine’s annual Best New Courses 2013, which is published in the January 2014 issue. The article features the top new courses and renovations both in the U.S. and internationally.

“It is a tremendous honor to be selected as the Best U.S. Renovation You Can Play

by GOLF Magazine and to be recognized alongside so many great courses,” McWethy said. “We wanted to elevate Mistwood into the ranks of the best courses in the Midwest, and this award is a testament to the vision and quality of work that architect Ray Hearn and our team performed on this project.

I could not be more proud of what we have accomplished.”

GOLF Magazine concurred in its appraisal with the selection.

“The result?

Mission accomplished. Mistwood may have been young for a facelift, but this beauty is ready for its close-up,” the magazine reported.

The magazine also talked about Hearn winning the same renovation award for his work at Chicago’s historic Flossmoor Country Club in 2009.

Hearn, who has a strong reputation for his course and renovation work, first completed

Mistwood’s third hole has turned into one of the signature holes after the renovation.

the Mistwood project in 1998.

Thirteen years later the course was ready for some upgrades and improvements.

“We fine-tuned and polished a gem,” Hearn said.

Renovation work was performed on every one of Mistwood’s 18-holes, with a focus on improving shot value and strategy. The most noticeable was at the par-5 third hole where the green has been relocated to create space for a future clubhouse and a double

fairway for risk-reward. The creek that used to be in front of the green is now behind it, and it has been expanded with a pond guarding the entire right side of the hole.

Mistwood’s renovation also included the addition of 20 stacked sod-wall bunkers, a trademark hazard for courses in Scotland and Ireland, and now a signature feature at Mistwood. Many of the courses’ lakes and bodies of water were also expanded making them a strategic factor on several holes.

In addition, new beautiful Lannon stone walls were added

along holes 3, 7, 8, 9 14, 15 and 16 to add some stunning visuals for golfers to experience.

Other improvements included repositioning tee boxes and bunkers, adding new high quality bunker sand, lengthening the course to 7,040 yards, and adding fescue grasses throughout the course.

“I am extremely proud of my redesign work at Mistwood,” Hearn said.“In my 27-year career I would definitely rank this project as one of my favorites and owner, Jim McWethy, as one of the most passionate individuals I have worked with.”

McWethy has made extraordinary major facility improvements since taking ownership in 2004. In addition to the work on the course, the creation of the new Performance Center, with its indoor-outdoor hitting bays, elite swing technology, and custom club fitting, has been the talk of Chicago area golf.

“A big part of this renovation and expansion was due to my love of the game,” McWethy said. “Mistwood is now truly a must-see, must-play golf course and stands among the elite golf courses in the Midwest.”

THE BUGLE JANUARY 16, 2014

Winters puts spring into DGN’s offense

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Senior guard Sarah Costello and junior guard Jaida Green are considered the Trojans’ go-to players on offense, but if Peyton Winters continues to have games like she did Saturday night at York, she’ll make an already formidable Downers North team even more dangerous.

Winters, the Trojans’ 6-2 forward, scored 16 of her gamehigh 20 points in the first half to lift Downers North past the Dukes, 54-41, in DGN’s first West Suburban Silver contest since Dec. 20.

“We want to get her actively involved in our offense, absolutely,” said DGN head coach Stephan Bolt, whose team has won three in a row and 10 of its last 11. “When you can go inside to her, and have a presence in the lane like Peyton is doing now, it makes things a lot easier in the perimeter and I think the kids did a great job. It may have been our best job all year looking inside constantly throughout the game.”

The Trojans were doing such a good job of getting the ball to Winters inside that the junior collected 12 points in the first quarter alone.

“I thought it was a really good game for us as a team offensively, and I think when we have more of an insideoutside game it definitely helps us get better shots,” Winters said.“If I’m having a good game and they (teammates) feed me (inside) it works out well for us.

If I’m not having a good game, then I can kick it out and they get shots.”

Meanwhile, DGN stormed out to an 18-0 lead following a Lauren Porcelli layup, and the Dukes didn’t scored their first points until six minutes had elapsed in the period. The Trojans held a commanding 22-4 advantage at quarter’s end.

“I think it was one of the

best first quarters we’ve had all season,” Bolt said. “I think defensively we were solid and we moved the ball and didn’t turn it over.”

York never got closer than 12 points the rest of the game.

DGN led 30-15 at half time and 45-24 after three quarters.

“I think we were just really ready to play today,” Winters said. “We were really focusing on getting stops on defense before we go and try to make something happen on offense.”

Green added 15 points for the Trojans, but what’s interesting is that DGN’s offense remained effective despite Costello sitting out half of both the second and third quarters due to foul trouble. Costello ended up with seven points.

“It’s nice to have plenty of options for scoring,” Winters said. “We have people on our team who can score if someone’s in foul trouble so that’s been a big help.”

Earlier last week, the Trojans faced non-conference opponent Glenbrook South in their first matchup since competing in the Wheaton North Bill Neibch Falcon Classic, where they placed third. DGN won the game, 46-38, with Green scoring 14 and Costello 12. Costello also had seven rebound and six steals, and Winters registered eight points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots.

The Trojans went up against two conference teams, Hinsdale Central and Lyons Township, during the Neibch tourney.

They knocked off the Lions for third place, but lost to the Red Devils—a club they defeated in WSS action on Dec. 14.

“It was nice to win our last game (in the Neibch tournament),” Bolt said. “We were disappointed to lose against Hinsdale but we’ll see them again (Jan. 31) and if anything else, it gives us an attitude that we need to get after it for conference in the second half (of the season).”

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Lauren Porcelli goes to the basket in Downers North’s 54-41 win over York.

The Trojans (14-2, 5-0) are off until Saturday when they host Hinsdale South at the DGN Winter Classic. The two squads tip off at 11:30 a.m.

“I think we have to continue

to get better,” Bolt said. “We can’t have stretches where we continue to give up offensive rebounds like we did and turn over the ball like we did (in the third quarter vs. York). Great

teams don’t do that, but I think if we continually get better and keep working, we’ll still be even better by the end of the season.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

Business & Real Estate

interpersonal edge

Bring workplace ‘flakes’ into line by penalties Q. I have several customers and coworkers who are last-minute change artists. They are constantly changing meetings, projects and plans at the last minute and expect me to just adapt.

My job is becoming chaotic and stressful because of their changes. What can I do?

A. You can ask yourself if you’ve created any concrete downsides for your annoying last-minute change artists. You can always count on people to do what is in their perceived best interest. If people around you keep changing plans it is because they don’t see a downside to their flakey

behavior.

The business world has become chaotic and fast paced enough that many people end up just chasing the latest shiny bauble. People often don’t look at the long-range consequence of changing their minds and plans every five seconds to run after what they just saw. They certainly don’t consider the fallout to other people!

Social scientists have even proposed that Americans seem to have cultural Attention Deficit Disorder where we can’t focus on the same thing for one minute. You will need to make it clear that if people around you keep changing their minds, they will miss out on something valuable with you.

Make a list of behavior you’d like to see from customers or coworkers on the left side of a paper. Make a list of consequences you could bring to bear if people don’t keep

WEB LINKS www.interpersonaledge.com

commitments to you on the right.

Brainstorm consequences such as: if they don’t show up at a meeting, then you can’t include them in an important project; if they cancel a meeting last minute, then you won’t be available for another two weeks. Remember if these flakey folks don’t have any pain in changing their minds, you will get no gain in them changing their behavior.

Many of my clients like to argue at this point that it isn’t right that people don’t keep commitments. They then brood over deep questions like what the world is coming to and why people have no integrity. Pondering these sorts of abstract questions is philosophically interesting but of no practical use.

Make a list of behavior you’d like to see from customers or coworkers on the left side of a paper. Make a list of consequences you could bring to bear if people don’t keep commitments to you on the right.

Get creative in communicating the consequences to people neutrally in both conversation and writing. Skip the part where you let them know how rude and inconsiderate they are if you want change. Stick to the part where you point out factually what they will lose if they don’t keep future commitments.

Put all that energy you could use venting into making it more likely people around you will be thoughtful and you’ll be much happier. Remember, the goal here isn’t to wait until the entire world changes for you to be well. The goal is to change the world around you so you can have a peaceful less stressful work life now.

As Janice Joplin so accurately

observed, “Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.” Make it clear that people you deal with must balance their desire for complete freedom with the goodies they get from commitments they make to you. Then, sit back and watch these former flakes follow through.

The last word(s) Q. Why do people get so mad at each other at work? Don’t they realize these same people will just get even with them?

A. Yes, but the luxury of immediately expressing their rage tends to win over long-term benefits of feeling angry and acting effectively.

Impulse control over anger in the workplace is rare.

Resurgence of pertussis makes vaccination important for people of all ages, including elderly Although pertussis has typically been targeted towards youth, adults are now facing the repercussions of this disease DEAR MAYO CLINIC: Is it true that adults should be vaccinated against pertussis? I thought that was a childhood disease. Hasn’t it basically been eliminated in the United States?

ANSWER: Now more than ever, it’s important for everyone including adults - to be vaccinated against pertussis. There is an effective vaccine against pertussis, also known as whooping cough.

But the immunity generated by the vaccine weakens over time.

When enough people in the population become susceptible to infection, an epidemic can occur. These epidemics are not as severe as was seen in the prevaccine era, but they still affect a lot of people. Currently, there are large outbreaks of pertussis in Washington, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes a severe, hacking cough. The coughing spells can be followed by a high-pitched intake of breath that sounds like a “whoop” and gives the disease its name.

Coughing spasms can cause extreme fatigue and vomiting and make breathing difficult. In babies, the disease can be very serious because their airways are tiny and they may have trouble breathing in enough oxygen during coughing spells. Severe coughing spells can also generate small hemorrhages in the eyes and brain.

Vaccination is the most important way to prevent pertussis. Infants should be vaccinated at ages 2, 4 and 6 months.The pertussis vaccination is given in combination with tetanus and diphtheria vaccines,

QUICK FACTS The CDC estimates that about 85 percent of children between ages 19 and 35 months are fully immunized against pertussis. The rates in adolescents are about 70 percent.

In adults, fewer than 10 percent have received Tdap. So the last time most adults were immunized against pertussis was when they were children.

which is abbreviated as DTaP for diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis.

Boosters are recommended at 12 to 18 months; 4 to 6 years; and again at age 11. Pertussis booster shots are available for adults, too, and are strongly recommended for

those in close contact with infants, particularly during an outbreak.

Ask your physician if you can receive Tdap (tetanus-diphtheriaacellular pertussis) vaccine instead of the usualTd (tetanus-diphtheria) booster. The Tdap vaccine can be given anytime, regardless of how recently the person received their last Td booster. Tdap (given to older children and adults) is slightly different from DTaP (given to infants) in that it has a lower amount of diphtheria and pertussis antigens, hence the lowercase “d” and “p.”

Pertussis vaccines are very safe, effective and beneficial. Before the vaccine was available, pertussis was a greatly feared disease that killed thousands of children every year. Now, perhaps 10 to 20 pertussis deaths occur per year in the United States. Almost all of these deaths occur in young infants.

People of all ages still contract the disease. Since the 1980s, pertussis incidence has been increasing in the United States.

In a typical year, 5,000 to 10,000 cases are reported, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

But epidemics occur every three to five years. In 2010, more than 27,000 cases were reported in the United States.

We continue to see pertussis for several reasons. One, vaccinations aren’t universal. The CDC estimates that about 85 percent of children between ages 19 and 35 months are fully immunized against pertussis. The rates in adolescents are about 70 percent.

In adults, fewer than 10 percent have received Tdap. So the last time most adults were immunized against pertussis was when they were children.

In addition, over time the vaccine’s effectiveness wanes, so we see adolescents and adults with pertussis. These older patients typically have a milder form of the illness because they retain some immunity from early vaccinations.

But patients with mild pertussis are still contagious.

It is a driving refresher for motorists age 50 and older. The course includes information on safer driving habits, how to avoid driving hazards, changes in roadway conditions, safety equipment on your automobile, as well as a discussion of when to consider driver retirement.

The class also covers much of the information needed to pass the Illinois State license exam and reviews the eyesight, hearing, and physical changes that drivers experience as they age. Completion of the two-day class may entitle the participant to a discount on his or her auto insurance.

Seniors retire smart

financial resolution: Do something In the new year, focus on setting and accomplishing secure financial goals

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Content Agency

Who wants to remember bad milestones? Do we really need to go back five years, when the S&P 500 closed out the disastrous 2008 at 903.25?

Most of us would prefer to focus on the fact that the index has more than doubled since those dark days.

Still, it can be instructive to be mindful of the lessons from that painful period. According to Allianz Life Insurance Company’s 5th annual New Year’s Resolution Survey, “many Americans seem to have forgotten the trauma it [the financial crisis] caused to their portfolios and may now have a false sense of security about their current financial wellbeing.”

This is human nature and behavioral economists even have a name for it: “recency bias,” which means that what has occurred in the near past tends to inform how we feel and what we do today. The problem with recency bias is that it can push us into making emotional decisions at the wrong time. So at the depths of market lows in 2008, we feel scared and sell everything and vow to take better care of our financial lives. Then five years later, with the economy and markets in recovery, the Allianz survey shows that only 16 percent of respondents said they would include financial planning in their resolutions for 2014.

Whether you call it a resolution or a plan, here’s what I have learned after being in the business for 25 years: It’s easier to reach a financial goal when you articulate it and create a plan of action to achieve it. The problem is that simply thinking

about a financial plan, let alone running the numbers that are necessary to complete it, can be daunting.

For many, conquering the Big Three will require some time and energy. The process may even call for you to (gasp) figure out where your money is going. The easiest way to do that is to track your expenses for three months. After doing so, you may find that there’s extra money available to help your efforts.

Once you have these covered the Big Three, it’s time for the nuts and bolts of financial security:drafting/updating wills and other estate documents and reviewing insurance coverage (life, disability, long-term care and property and casualty).

These are not sexy topics, like investing can be, but without them, your financial security could be at risk.

With those basic steps covered, now comes the hard part: time to prioritize what comes next. Do you want to buy a house in the next year or two? If so, you may need to channel all available cash flow into a down payment fund. Are you ready to set aside some of your precious free cash flow for your kids in a Section 529 Plan or would you prefer to aim for early retirement? Do you need

a simple way to start is to address what I like to call “The Big Three Financial Goals”: 1. Zero consumer debt (credit card, auto loans) 2. Adequate emergency reserve funds (6-12 month’s worth of expenses; 12-24 months for retirees) 3. Maximization of retirement contributions ($17,500 for 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans, with an additional $5,500 catch up contribution available if you are over the age of 50; and $5,500 for IRAs, with an additional $5,500 catch up contribution). This step includes ensuring that you have a properly diversified portfolio which is consistent with your risk tolerance level.

to think about caring for your aging parents? If so, have you had the tough talk with them to see what their wishes are?

These are just some of the questions that you need to think about in order to properly plan for your financial future. No wonder so many people would rather put their heads in the sand than deal with this stuff!

Of course, all of the planning

in the world can’t prevent the fact that sometimes a bad financial event can happen to you, but it certainly puts you in a stronger position than doing nothing. So maybe the best New Year’s resolution is, “I’m going to start doing SOMETHING to better my financial life!”
