HIGH EXPECTATIONS ON A LOW TURNOUT Few voters expected at Cook County April election due to lack of choices

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

E

arly voting began March 25 for the April 9 election and, according to a study by a nonprofit, voter turnout is expected to be low in many municipalities due to a lack of choices in local elections.

The Better Government Association is a nonorganization that looks for problems in the public sector and attempts to present to solutions to them. It looked at data available to the public via the Cook County Clerk website and found that out of 2,001 elected positions that are on the April 9 consolidated ballots, about 1,110 of those positions are unopposed while another 60 have no candidate running at all.

In the village of Niles,Trustees Andrew Przybylo and Krzystof “Chris” Hanusiak are both running for mayor. Additionally Louella Blaine Preston, James T. Hynes, Mary Marusek, George D. Alpogianis, See TURNOUT, page 3

TURNOUT Continued from page 1 Danette O’Donovan Matyas and John C. Jekot are all competing for three trustee positions.

Morton Grove also has two candidates, Daniel P. DiMaria and Larry Gomberg in a contested race for mayor while the village’s trustee race is unopposed.

That data means more than half – 58 percent to be exact – of those 2,001 elected positions will be unopposed or have no candidate.

While Cook County Clerk David Orr admitted that turnout for the April 9 election is usually pretty low, he stressed that people should vote as the outcome of these contested races will determine education policies, local taxes and infrastructure decisions for each community.

One such decision that is hotly debated in Niles that will have lasting repercussions are the two referendum items that would limit the number and length of terms that the village board can serve.

The first is the Village of Niles, Term Limits Petition that was put together by citizens of the village that faced many clerical obstacles before being included on the ballot. It asks if the village should enact term limits prohibiting all people from serving more than 16 years on the Village of Niles Board of Trustees, including service as mayor and/or trustee.

The other, more verbose, term limit item on the ballot is from the village board itself.

The Village of Niles proposed its Term Limit Ordinance after

3

fierce debate. It asks residents first if they first think anyone should be a trustee for more than three full terms, and if anyone should be mayor for more than two full terms with the exception that a person may serve three full terms as trustee plus two full terms as mayor.

It then asks if anyone elected or appointed to fill a vacancy in an unexpired term of an elective Village office or who resigns from such office before completing a third full term should be counted as having served a full term and be subject to new term limit.

Lastly, it asks if anyone holding any elective office on April 9, 2013 might be able to, after completing the term of that office, be elected for not more than three additional full terms as trustee or two additional full terms as mayor.

In many communities the absence of a wide selection of candidates is usually due to a lack of ballot access and campaign finance obstacles or single-party dominance that may bar potential challengers from running for office.

Early Voting continues daily through April 6 and voters can go to www.cookcountyclerk. com/elections/voterprofile/ Pages/default.aspx to verify their voter registration, find a polling place, view a sample ballot and check on their mailed ballot’s status. Early voters must display valid government-issued photo identification before voting, such as a current driver’s license, state-issued ID or U.S. passport. Voters who cast a ballot during Early Voting may not vote on Election Day or vote by mail. ahernandez@ buglenewspapers.com

H o ro s c o p e s It’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.

Don’t put too much emphasis on romantic pursuits; simply enjoy the thrill of the chase. Sharing ideas with a partner may yield valuable new insights in the week ahead.

A rolling stone gathers no moss. Keep the moss at bay by staying active through creative activities this week. All lights are green for matters of the heart, whether strengthening a current relationship or testing new waters.

A good idea that never gets out of your head is wasteful. Keep a record of any brainstorms you may have this week, as you never know when they may come in handy later. Your enthusiasm appeals to the opposite sex.

Maintain a controlled environment this week. Hold the troubles of the world at bay by carving out your own private niche of peace and solitude.

Take advantage of spare time by getting ahead of schedule.

There’s no time to lose in the coming week. Regardless of whether you’ve made careful preparations, you must take action or your window for success may close. Don’t take on a task by yourself when friends are readily available to help.

Get out and mingle.

Social gatherings may yield interesting new acquaintances and valuable new business contacts. In the week ahead you’ll fare far better working in a crowd than on your own.

Avoid collecting dust.

Staying active is the key to well-being whether it includes taking a brisk walk, a workout, or tackling household chores. Raise that heart rate to prepare mind and body for the week ahead.

Be a sidekick. A close friend or loved one may require a little backup to see their plans through this week.

Offer your services and tag along for the ride. People aren’t comfortable acting on their own.

In the week ahead, do your best to adapt and overcome.

Don’t stick with a plan if you can already tell it’s doomed to fail. Stay prepared to deal with all possible outcomes, as the playing field will be constantly changing until the end.

Make the most of your situation. Find a positive benefit in any endeavor you choose this week, whether gathering information from a magazine article or having an insightful conversation with a friend.

The future isn’t what it used to be. A goal that once seemed a possible dream may now seem impractical.

Take time this week to re-evaluate your situation and change your long-term objectives as necessary.

Aim to impress.

Young Wolves fall to Plainfield Central

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Niles West gave up two early goals into the wind and it proved costly in a 3-2 loss to Plainfield Central Saturday, March 30.

The Wolves bounced back to make it a 2-1 goal at the break on a penalty kick by Vicky Tirovolas.

However, The Wildcats got a goal off a corner kick early in the second half to regain a two goal advantage. Niles West senior defender Molly Kleppin answered in the final 10 minutes on a bending shot from 30 yards out, but it wasn’t enough.

“That was the big difference, giving up those two goals,” Niles West coach Brett Clish said.

“It was a better second half.

Molly did a nice job of moving up and we did a better job of controlling the ball, but it still isn’t where we want it to be. We kept pressing them and trying to make something happen, but it didn’t. We kept trying though.”

“My coaches have told me that one I get the chance to push up,” Kleppin said. “I used to play midfield, so they know I’m used to playing up more. They just encourage me to push up and get in the play as much as I can, so when I get the opportunity, I go.

I saw the opportunity and was able to get it into the far post and I hit it as hard as I could. There could have been some luck in there.”

Kleppin, a captain, is used to playing midfield but has been pushed into the defense to provide some veteran experience.

“We definitely have a young lineup, especially defensively,” Kleppin said. “So I guess coach wanted some experience back there. We never give up, and as See WOLVES, page 15

Hawks’ Milano gets 400th career win

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The Maine South baseball team established a school record for most wins in a season with 32 last spring. And it didn’t take long this season—the first game, to be exact—for Hawks’ coach Bill Milano to reach a career benchmark for victories.

The Hawks’ 9-5 seasonopening triumph over Whitney Young on March 27 was Milano’s 400th win.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be in three great places,”said Milano, who’s been at Maine South for 13 years and also has coached at Fenwick and Nazareth Academy, where his brother, Lee, coaches.

“We’ve had really good kids, administrators, coaches and parents. You do it long enough, and do it the right way and good things happen.”

Jason Marsicano and Jarett Kirshner are Milano’s assistant coaches.

The most rewarding part of

coaching, he says, is not the amount of victories accumulated, but watching his former players go on to become successful in their chosen professions and “become good people in life.”

“A number of those kids have gone on to become coaches and educators, and it’s a credit to them,” he said. “The kids who aren’t in education are successful in other walks of life.”

Maine South graduated a number of seniors who were instrumental in lifting the Hawks to a 32-6 record and advancing to the sectional title game where they lost to Oak Park-River Forest, the eventual Class 4A state champion. Only three regulars from that club are on the 2013 squad: Pitcher Mike Virgilio (7-0 in 2012), outfielder/ DH Frank Perrone and infielder/ pitcher Jesus Saavedra.

But several new players got their feet wet over the summer and helped the Hawks make it to the IHSBCA Phil Lawler Summer

Classic state tournament’s Elite Eight. Milano is hoping their performance in that tourney carries over into the new season after the Hawks got off to a 2-1 start last week.

Saavedra was the Hawks’ leading hitter versus Whitney Young, as he doubled, singled and had three RBIs. However, two new players, Gehrig Parker and pitcher Zach Hinkamp, made their presence known.

Hinkamp picked up the victory, going five innings, giving up one earned run and striking out four.

Parker, meanwhile, tripled and singled.

The following day (March 28), the Hawks whippedVon Steuben, 13-3, behind Jack Touhy, another new pitcher, who gave up one hit and fanned six through three innings. Zach Jones was the hitting star for Maine South, ripping two doubles and driving in three runs. Eric Sons doubled, singled and had two RBIs. The Hawks held a comfortable 5-0 lead through four innings

on Saturday at Prairie Ridge in Crystal Lake, but gave up five runs in the bottom of the sixth and ended up losing, 6-5.Virgilio was effective in his first start (six strikeouts), but had to leave after the fourth inning due to an illness. Parker went 3-for-3 and stole three bases, while Perrone drove in two runs with a double and single.

•Notre Dame dropped consecutive games on March 27 and 28—4-2 to Elk Grove in its season-opener and 5-3 to York.

In the Elk Grove game, Danny Hyde, who has been battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma since last September and is now in remission, scored the Dons’ first run of the season. Joe Kukla tripled and had an RBI, while Adnan Sator pitched six innings and struck out seven.

“The guys came out with great energy today and battled from pitch one until the last out,” Notre Dame coach Nelson Gord said. “Offensively, we are much improved from last year.”

Patrick Dillon pitched four innings in relief against York, giving up no earned runs and striking out five. Freshman catcher Sam Ferri came through with an RBI double off the leftfield fence. Tommy Schaedel went 2-for-2 and drove in a run.

The Dons hosted Fremd in a doubleheader on Saturday and lost the first game, 14-4, as well as the nightcap, 5-2. In Game 1, Mike Ferri went 2-for-2 with an RBI. Schaedel and Dion Ursino each had two hits. Sam Ferri had two hits and an RBI in Game 2.

Maine East broke a 2-2 tie with a run in the bottom of the seventh to defeat Northside Prep, 3-2, on March 29. Greg Davis pitched six innings of two-run ball, and A.J. Plis picked up the win in relief. Phil Papaioannou collected two hits and two RBIs for the Demons. Will Heins also had a hit and an RBI.

Resurrection visited Elk Grove for a doubleheader Saturday morning, and the Grenadiers ended up winning contests, 4-3 and 14-1.

The Bandits trailed Elk Grove 4-0 in Game 1, and rallied with a three-run seventh, but the rally fell short. Courtney Grasz singled, Emily Bernath tripled and Kate Moriarity homered in the inning.

Bre Sobotka scored the Bandits’ only run in Game 2.

Kontos earns Chicago area MLB Player of the Year Every season, the Pitch and Hit Club of Chicago hosts an awards ceremony where it honors baseball successes ranging from amateur all the way to professional baseball.

This season, at its 67th annual ceremony, the club inducted Goose Gossage and Tony LaRussa into the Lou Boudreau Hall of Fame, the club’s highest honor.

Among the other award winners at the Jan. 27 banquet were several members of the Voyager Media coverage area.

Earning the award for the Chicago area Major League Baseball Player of the Year was George Kontos of the World Champion San Francisco Giants.

Kontos, a graduate of Niles West High School, was a vital member of the Giants’ bullpen during last season’s run toward the World Series title.

He appeared in 44 games, tossing 43.2 innings. He posted a 2-1 record with five holds and had a 2.47 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. “It was very encouraging for me because as the season went on Rags (pitching coach Dave Righetti) and Boche (manager Bruce Bochy) kept putting me

in more important situations and my role went from being a mop up guy to once they learned me, they were putting me in one-run situations and showing their trust in me. In turn, that made me more confident.”

He appeared in eight post season games, including one game in the World Series.

“There are people who have brilliant careers who are amazing players who never get to accomplish what I did in my first year in the big leagues,” Kontos said.“It is really an honor and very special and something I will never forget.”

Kontos was originally a fifthround draft choice of the Yankees out of Northwestern University and made his pro debut for the Bronx Bombers in 2011, where he appeared in seven games and recorded a 3.00 ERA in six innings, while striking out six batters.

He was traded to the Giants for catcher Chris Stewart before the start of the 2012 season and stated off in the minor leagues, before joining the big club on June 10.

“It was very surreal,” Kontos See KONTOS, page 15

Niles West alum George Kontos was named the Chicago area Major League Baseball Player of the Year for his performance with the World Champion San Francisco Giants.

ROUNDUP Continued from page 13 28, taking a 6-0 lead after three innings en route to a 10-6 triumph over Regina. Dawson was the winning pitcher, striking out eight. Genis went 4-for-5 with a triple and two RBIs. Shannon McHugh cracked a triple and drove in four runs.

BADMINTON Maine South reached a milestone after winning the East Aurora tournament on Saturday.

It’s the first time a Hawks badminton squad has ever won three tournaments in one season. The Hawks notched 23 team points compared to 19 for

the host school and 12 for thirdplace McHenry.

Mary McCann and Maggie Schmidt captured tournament championships at Nos. 3 and 4 singles, respectively. No. 1 singles player Meghan Salgia and No. 2 player Rebecca Klages each finished second.

In doubles, Lisa Mak and Brittany Lung, the No. 3 team, nabbed first place.Taking seconds were the No. 1 team of Meg Guo and Brenna Bartkowicz, and the No. 2 squad of Bonnie Schultz and Abbey McAleer.

“I’m very proud of how well the girls have been playing,” Maine South coach Eve Muirwilson said.

without allowing a baserunner in a 6-4 win over the Astros last year.

The Astros happen to be the pro team of the winner of the Chicago Area Minor League Player of the Year, former Minooka pitcher Mike Foltynewicz.

Foltynewicz was tabbed South Atlantic League Most Outstanding Pitcher for his work with the Lexington Legends, the single-A affiliate.

The No. 7 ranked prospect and No. 3 rated pitcher in the Astros’ system, Foltynewicz posted a 3.14 ERA last season with a strikeout rate of 7.54 strikeouts per nine

innings.

“This is really nice to be recognized,” he said.“I have put in so much hard work and dedication since being drafted. I just want to make everybody back home proud.They are all rooting for me and I want to give back. All these awards open my eyes and make me realize what I’m doing.”

When Foltynewicz does hit the big leagues, he will do so in the American League, as the Astros are moving beginning this coming season.

A prolific hitter in high school, Foltynewicz said he won’t miss

not batting it the big leagues.

“I loved hitting in high school and it was fun then,” he said. “But the last two or three years, I have seen the way the ball moves on those pitches and I am glad I am pitching.”

The other two local award winners both came from Joliet Junior College, as JJC manager Wayne King won the Amateur Coach of the Year award and Luke Andrade won College Player of the Year.

The Wolves entered the playoffs last season with a 28-28 overall record, the Wolves went 9-1 in

the post season and claimed the NJCAA Division III national championship.

It was the third title in King’s 26-year career at Joliet Junior College.

“It was a pretty average year, but we weren’t as bad as our record,” King said.“Then the kids come out and we win nine of the last 10 in the playoffs, I couldn’t tip my hat enough to them.”

Andrade batted .396 with six HR and 67 RBI for the national champion Wolves.

and ended up winning a 15-10 slugfest. Plis doubled, singled twice and drove in three runs, and Davis added two hits and two RBIs. Dylan Kufell also had a multiple-hit game.

Niles West appeared to be

well on its way to victory against Buffalo Grove on Saturday. The Wolves held a 5-1 lead going into the top of the seventh with right-hander Kyle Colletta cruising through the first six innings. But Buffalo

Grove capitalized on four Niles West errors and scored all six of its runs in the inning (one was earned). The Bison held on for a 6-5 win.

Tommy Toledo’s two-run double in the third and Joe

Younan’s run-scoring double in the fourth provided Niles West (1-1) with a 3-0 lead.The Wolves scored two unearned runs in the fifth. Colletta struck out 12 in the loss.

a 1-3 start and are playing with a very young team.

“We are a young team,” Clish said. “We started six freshmen today and three sophomores. It’s been a rough early season. We knew it was going to take time.”

“It’s definitely going to be a

building and a learning year,” Kleppin said.“There’s going to be some mistakes out there. We’re going to start from the beginning and build up. Yea, it’s going to be rough at the beginning, but by the end of the season, and definitely in the seasons to come, they will

have more experience.”

Despite the young squad, the potential is still there thanks to Kleppin and Tirovolas, a sophomore, who scored 17 goals and had eight assists last year en route to being a Voyager Media All-Area selection.

“We definitely want those two to be the leaders and help out the freshmen,” Clish said. “We just want to improve every day and by the playoffs we want to be ready to go.”

What was set up to be a great weekend of college hoops turned into one of the most lopsided second weekends of the NCAA Tournament in recent memory.

Things were looking positive Thursday when Ohio State made a buzzer beater to top Arizona in a great game.

However, the rest of the night was filled with stinkers. Even the upset of Syracuse over Indiana was one-sided for much of the game, as was the Marquette win over Miami.

Friday was supposed to be the big day with the possibility of three or four great games.

After Louisville maintained a double digit advantage

Michigan (4)

(1) Louisville

Champion

(9) Wichita State over Oregon, the game of the tournament, and probably year, took place between Kansas and Michigan.

The Jayhawks were heading to victory, holding a double digit lead in the final minutes, before Michigan rallied to tie the game on a Trey Burke three.

In overtime Michigan held on for the upset win.

Unfortunately, the much anticipated Duke-Michigan State game turned into a snoozer and after a hot start, Cinderella Florida Gulf Coast ran out of steam against Florida.

Saturday’s Elite Eight game between Syracuse and Marquette was rather painful to watch at times with the poor offensive showing and an easy Orange victory.

Syracuse (4) The nightcap between Ohio State and Wichita State turned out to be the highlight of the final eight as the Buckeyes rallied from 20 down in the second half to make the game interesting, before falling to the ninth seeded Shockers.

Sundays games looked to be definite wire games, but both ended up being decided well before the end.

Michigan jumped out to a huge lead and was never seriously threatened in the win over Florida.

The Duke-Louisville classic will be remembered most for the terrible injury to Louisville’s Kevin Ware, rather than the game, as the Cardinals dominated the second half en route to an easy victory.

That sets up a very surprising

Final Four, which, on paper, doesn’t look to be very appealing, with the exception of the Michigan-Syracuse game.

However, after so little drama in the past week, there’s bound to be at least one great game outside of that one.

I look for Louisville to cruise past Wichita State, while the Syracuse zone will be enough to keep Michigan outside, setting up an all-Big East final.

In the finale, I expect to see a great game between the two teams.

In the Big East championship, Syracuse was in control until a huge second half run gave Louisville an easy victory.

I expect a similar thing to happen this time, but the Louisville run to be much

smaller and for there to be a great ending.

As I picked in my bracket, I still think Louisville will win in the end, which would give me the outright Voyager Media Madness title.

Unfortunately, I cannot win the $150, so the money is up for grabs.

So, if Louisville wins it all, Plainfield’s Brianna Widler will take home the top prize, while Tom Harper would take second.

If Louisville falls in the finals, Harper will win and Widler will be second.

If Louisville falls to Wichita State, Harper will win and Anthony Gladstone will finish second.

What’s old is new in Germany, Austria, Hungary

T

hree countries with a rich heritage - Germany, Hungary, and Austria each have a constantly evolving sightseeing scene. Here’s the latest: Getting into the Reichstag, Berlin’s parliament building (with its striking 155-foot-tall glass cupola), has been difficult over the last few years due to changing security and entrance procedures.

Things have finally settled down and the process is clear:To visit the dome, it’s best to make a free reservation online several days in advance at www. bundestag.de.

Once you have a reservation, simply report to the visitors’ center at the appointed time.

In Munich, sights are closing and opening. In the Residenz, the downtown palace of the Bavarian kings, the mythological scenes decorating the Halls of the Nibelungen are not on view, undergoing restoration at least through 2014. Reopening in Munich is the Lenbachhaus, home to the world’s largest collection of early Modernist Blaue Reiter paintings.The refurbished galleries now also host a firstrate collection of international contemporary art.

In Bavaria, the new Museum of the Bavarian Kings occupies a grand former hotel on the shore of the Alpsee, adjacent to the fairy-tale Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein castles. If you have free time between your castle tours and a higher-thanaverage curiosity about arcane Teutonic dynasties, this might be worth a stop. For most visitors, though, the highlight is the view of the lovely lake from the museum’s top floor.

St. Kilian’s Cathedral - the main church in Wurzburg, and the fourth-largest Romanesque cathedral in Germany - has reopened following a 3.2 millioneuro renovation.The ornate stucco decoration inside has been spiffed up and the cathedral’s two organs restored.

Hamburg’s city center is taking on a new look, thanks to the urban renewal project called HafenCity. Built on 400 acres reclaimed from disused

docklands right along the Elbe River, this roughly 15-block area in the city center is filling up with “starchitect”-designed buildings and waterside cafes.The anchor is the gigantic, architecturally striking Elbphilharmonie complex, home to a concert hall, hotel, apartments, and shopping center (due for completion in 2015).

Towns in Germany are already preparing for 2017 and the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the movement started by Martin Luther that led to the establishment of the Protestant Church. In Wittenberg, where Luther began his challenge to papal authority, the Luther Garden is a leafy statement of cooperation between Protestant,

Catholic, and Orthodox faiths.

Hundreds of trees from as many Christian communities from around the world have been planted here, and each has a sister tree growing in its community of origin. Erfurt, Luther’s spiritual home, is welcoming visitors with Wednesday evening organ concerts at the Preachers’ Church and open-air opera performances

on the steps of the cathedral in summer.

Little Hungary can’t compete in size with Germany, but its capital, Budapest, has its fair share of changes. Riverboats operated by the transit authority now connect strategic locations throughout the city.Although not as quick or convenient as Budapest’s subway or trams, the boats are a romantic, cheap alternative to pricey riverboat cruises on the Danube. Up on Castle Hill, the Royal Wine House has closed (at least temporarily), but the nearby House of Hungarian Wines has reopened, offering a survey of Hungary’s wine-growing regions.

But the best place to sample local wines is in the company of locals - try any of the trendy wine bars opening up around town (such as DiVino, in front of St. Istvan’s Basilica, on the Pest side of the Danube).

The news from Austria is all about Vienna.At St. Stephen’s Cathedral, visitors can ride an elevator up to the newly opened Cathedral Treasury.The substantial treasures of the cathedral had been ignored in the nearby (and outmoded) cathedral museum, so they’ve been moved into the church, filling a space high above the nave on the west portal wall.

The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is reopening its Kunstkammer (Cabinet of Wonders) exhibit to show off the lavish curiosities the Habsburg emperors gathered to impress their friends and enemies.

Meanwhile, in the upstairs gallery known as the Gemaldegalerie, curators have been busily rearranging the paintings.

Vienna’s most impressive and crowded palace, Schonbrunn, now has an online ticketing system. It’s possible to avoid the admission lines there by reserving a timed-entry ticket at the palace’s website in advance (www.schoenbrunn.at).

Vienna’s train stations will be in disarray for the next few years, as the city rebuilds its central station and remodels several others.The wonderful Westbahnhof (West Station) has already been beautifully renovated - with the 1950s shell now filled with a modern mall of services, shops, and eateries.

It’s all part of Europe’s steady investment in its infrastructure, a commitment that will benefit all travelers to Germany, Hungary, and Austria in 2013.

Daughter’s modeling opportunity Identify the root of also an opportunity for teaching workplace problems Dear Dave, My daughter is 14, and she was recently offered a steady weekend modeling job. Do you have any advice on how to handle the money she earns?

Cynthia Dear Cynthia, In terms of investing some of the money she’ll make, a Roth IRA would be pretty cool.

You would have to oversee it, of course, and you’d have to file a tax return, but starting something like this when she’s 14 would help set her up for some serious money later.

I think the biggest thing, however, is to make sure you create lots of teachable moments for this young lady. There are three areas every child should learn about when it comes to finances: spending, saving and giving. If she’s working and earning money, she should be able to spend a little and enjoy the fruits of her labors—within

reason, of course.

Saving for the short term might include putting money aside for a car or even college. Long-term goals would include the Roth IRA, so she would have a head start on being able to retire with some dignity one day. Then you should always make sure to give some.Whether it’s tithing to your church or finding other good causes, giving helps others and it’s good for the giver. When we give, it helps us realize that we’re not the center of the universe.

It also makes us a little more Christlike.

This is a phenomenal opportunity for your daughter.

It’s also a great chance for you, as a parent, to involve her in the process and teach her important lessons that will last a lifetime!

—Dave

Trusting in the family Dear Dave,

When should a couple think about creating a family trust?

Angie Dear Angie, A family trust can take different shapes. Couples with young kids sometimes consider creating a trust in the event that they both die unexpectedly. In these situations, a family trust would be managed for the care of minor children.

Some people also create trusts for the purpose of avoiding estate taxes. These trusts aren’t as common, because you don’t have to worry about estate tax problems unless you have assets in excess of $5 million, based on current law.

But to be honest, Angie, I can’t think of a situation where you’d want to create a family trust to manage money while you’re alive. Unless, of course, it contains some kind of estate planning implications.

—Dave Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

Q. I’m generally overwhelmed by the number of problems I face at work every day. I’ve been to time management classes. I know how to prioritize. I still see no way to actually fix the mountain of issues that face me every Monday morning. Is there some way not to start out behind every day I go to work?

A. Yes, Albert Einstein was fond of saying,“A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.” Problems are like rabbits:They multiple because there are central issues that propagate them. If you can spot and get rid of these central issues, your problems at work will become a manageable pile.

Try this exercise: Write down all the problems you currently face at work. Now, next to each problem, list the causes and attributes. Now circle everything these problems have in common.

What you are looking for is the iceberg that is sinking your workplace boat. Most problems are actually symptoms of key issues that are harder to identify.

If you can see the root issue, the symptoms will clear up.

For example, let’s say most of your coworkers get defensive and spend a lot of time criticizing you.You could get in an argument with every person who does this or wonder why people tend to be defensive around you.You may find that you are actually quite critical of other people and this puts your coworkers on the defensive. If

you change your style, guess what ... most of your arguments may disappear.

You may instead find your boss micromanages you constantly. She might just be a control freak.Then again, you may be engaged in a power struggle where you are determined to not let her influence you.

What if you gave her more than enough data, control and access to what you are doing? Do you think she’d probably back off?

As Einstein observed, wise people are willing to consider all factors regarding what is creating a problem.

Since most workplace problems have one thing in common - us - considering our contribution to any problem is critical. Once we can see how we perpetuate situations we don’t like, we have amazing control to reduce the number of problems we experience.

Most of us don’t enjoy seeing that we may be doing something less than effective with other people at work.

We have to muster up the humility to acknowledge our skill deficits, which can make us feel a tad inadequate. Than again, facing a small pile of problems at work is a pretty sweet reward for a few minutes of inadequacy.

Be willing to take your blinders off this Monday at work. Don’t run around just getting things done. Instead, identify root problems and fix the underlying problems.You’ll have the pleasure of a smaller to-do list.You’ll also stop having to fix the same boring problems over and over and, yes, over again.

The last word(s) Q. I’ve heard that it is important to let workplace bullies know they are hurting you. Does this work?

A. No, you are just bleeding in front of workplace sharks.

Repeat cortisone injections not uncommon

By Tribune Media Services

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: How do cortisone shots work to relieve pain? It appears that they only provide temporary relief and are often given multiple times. Is there a point at which frequent cortisone shots can be harmful to the body? How much is too much?

ANSWER: Injections of cortisone, or a similar corticosteroid, decrease inflammation in an injured part of the body. When body tissue is injured, a series of events occurs locally and within the bloodstream to promote healing.

Inflammation can result from this healing process and, frequently, the inflammation causes pain.

Injecting corticosteroids into the inflamed area helps to calm the inflammation.As the inflammation subsides, the pain does, too.

Cortisone is naturally produced in the body’s adrenal glands. It was discovered in the 1940s by Mayo Clinic researchers Edward Kendall, Ph.D., and Philip Hench, M.D., who

first used it to treat joint disorders.

Its powerful anti-inflammatory effect produced such dramatic results in people with rheumatoid arthritis that it was hailed as a miracle drug. In 1950, Drs. Kendall and Hench were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery of cortisone.

In current medical practice, corticosteroids are used to treat a variety of inflammatory diseases, including bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis and gout.Corticosteroids can be given by mouth or injected into affected joints, including the ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder, hand and wrist. Injections near the spine are also common.

You are correct that corticosteroid injections do not provide a permanent cure.

However, pain relief from a corticosteroid injection may last from several weeks to several months,depending on the medical condition and the patient receiving it. Ideally, the relief provided by the injection decreases or

eliminates pain long enough to allow the injury to completely heal. It is not uncommon, though, for repeat injections to be needed in patients experiencing chronic inflammatory conditions.

Corticosteroids cause a number of side effects which can be limited to the area injected or affect the entire body. Side effects increase with larger doses and repeated clinical use. For this reason, physicians may limit the number of injections and the cumulative amount of corticosteroid that is given. Typically, corticosteroid injections are not given more often than every six weeks, and usually not more than three or four times a year. But these are only guidelines. A patient’s situation dictates the timing and frequency of treatment.

Side effects may include weakening of the joint, increased blood pressure, elevation of blood sugar, and decreased ability to fight infection. Evidence of these side effects should be reported to the doctor monitoring the condition.
