Romeovilleâ€™s final retail strip to be razed By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Just days before the final closing of the Subway shop in the Spartan Square shopping plaza, customers lined the counter. Though business has always been good, owner Dee Patel, isnâ€™t sorry to see the place go and is ready to say goodbye to the old building, welcoming the thought of increased business once a new retail center is built. Demolition of the remaining stores sitting off of Route 53 is set for the week of June 3, with the site expected to be cleared within weeks, making See RAZED, page 2

News RAZED Continued from page 1 room for the start of Romeoville’s new downtown. Noticeable progress began in the late fall with the ground breaking of the 76,000-squarefoot Athletic and Event Center, which sits adjacent to the decrepit strip mall. Next came the demo of the former Jewel-Osco/Ace Hardware store, tumbling half the retail center earlier this spring. The remaining stores such as the Laundromat, Subway and currency store remained, that is until May 31, when their leases were up. Patel decided to continue operating through the last day and will then move employees to her other location on Weber Road until new development is built. She is working on an agreement with the new developer to set up shop once the new downtown area is set.

Subway owner Dee Patel and staff take orders from their customers during its final days before demolition.

For years, it has been the intent of the village to create a town center with retail, office, civic uses and public spaces in a pedestrian-friendly environment. Village documents indicate the downtown site plan was created to provide a multipurpose activity area serving the community.The plan includes the athletic center, on-street parking, and a special event area

to host community events.As part of the master plan, there is approximately 2.7 acres available for commercial development. Although Romeoville lacks a “traditional” downtown area, the Village considers the 40-acre established site running from Route 53 to Dalhart Avenue as its downtown and has been working to redevelop the area for nearly a decade.The site was originally developed in the mid 1960s and over time has deteriorated with much of the retail development migrating westward along Weber Road creating an underutilized area. “I’ve always heard my regular clientele sort of complain that they were being gypped with everything moving to the other side of town—now we’re excited with these new plans. I believed once up and running, it will only improve my business,” said Patel. The new athletic and event center is expected to be complete in December.

Public-private partnership bill for airport passes Legislation creating a privatepublic partnership for the South Suburban Airport was included in economic development legislation approved by the Legislature and Gov. Pat Quinn May 31. Senate Bill 20, co-sponsored by state Sen. Jennifer BertinoTarrant, D-Shorewood, supports economic development projects throughout the state and creates the South Suburban Airport Act, which dedicates funding to the development of a new airport in Peotone. The bill calls for the airport to be built by the Illinois Department of Transportation and operated in a public-private partnership, known as a “P3.”The Illiana Expressway is being built the same way. The Will County Business and Labor Coalition and Will County Officials on Friday applauded the Governor and the General Assembly for the passage of Senate Bill 20. Since 2002 the Business Labor Coalition -- composed of business and labor leaders and locally elected officials from Will, Kankakee and Cook counties -- have actively fought for legislation to move the South Suburban Airport forward. SB 20 as amended contains the majority of the key components from legislation introduced on behalf of the Coalition by state Sen. Toi Hutchinson and former senators A.J.Wilhelmi and Debbie

Halverson. Coalition Chairman Jim Roolf said he is extremely pleased SB 20 passed the General Assembly and is looking forward to the beginning of this long awaited project. “The Coalition has always supported the construction, operation, maintenance and financing of the South Suburban Airport through a public private partnership and has fought hard to ensure that the procurement process for this project is open and transparent and free of outside influence or interference.” In addition, the bill requires that the Illinois Department of Transportation collaborate with the municipalities, counties and other stakeholders. It also requires project labor agreements and legislative oversight by the Commission on Government Forecast and Accountability and the Procurement Policy Board. Will County Executive Larry Walsh praised area legislators for fighting to protect the interests of the working men and women of Will, Kankakee and Cook counties and for helping to create an economic environment in the region that will provide thousands of jobs and new economic develop for many years to come. “The construction and development of the South Suburban Airport will create more than 11,000 construction

jobs over a three-year period and an estimated 3,400 permanent jobs once the airport is operational,” Walsh said. “In addition to the Illiana Expressway, the construction of the SSA will mean more than $2 billion will be spent on new infrastructure in Will County and the region.” State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, issued a statement noting his strong support for the bill. “By passing this legislation, we are now one step closer to having a South Suburban Airport in Will County that will settle the governance issue that has been debated for the last 20 plus years,”Walsh Jr. said. “This airport will help to create much-needed jobs, improve our local economy and will improve the transportation needs of the area well, at the same time easing the heavy traffic on I-55 and I-80.” Not everyone is pleased with what has been happening, or not, since Gov. Jim Edgar first identified the site near Peotone and Monee as the preferred one for the third airport 20 years ago. The state, trying to hold off speculators and show the federal government there is “consensus” in the area for the airport, already has purchased thousands of acres, mostly farmland, in the airport footprint, even though there has been little movement on an official plan.

longtime third airport opponents, including members of Shut This Airport Nightmare Down (STAND), who number Board Member Judy Ogalla, R-Monee, among them. She said the state has bulled and intimidated landowners in the proposed airport footprint to sell their properties, and the project has not even been approved. The issue was muddied for several years as former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. offered a plan competing with one supported

by Will County.The county hired consultants to help with the airport issue, including Aaron Quick, Vice President of the Farnsworth Group, Inc. Quick recently told the board Elk Grove Village officials used Jackson’s, in his words, flawed, third airport plan to block O’Hare expansion.

Kids on the road to reading in White Oak program By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Travel to the ends of the earth— to another time, another place. Kick back from the ordinary and go to places you’ve never gone before, all by flipping (or swiping) through the pages of a good book. The White Oak Library District is calling on patrons to get ready for adventures and fun this summer as it starts the “Have Book-Will Travel” Summer Reading Program. Registration began June 3 and will continue through July 26. You can sign up for the program at any of the library branches in Romeoville, Lockport or Crest Hill, or online with your library card at www. whiteoaklibrary.org. Kids of all ages, from birth through sixth grade, teens and adults can participate in reading for prizes. Participating is easy, once you get your log, just start reading. Any book from the library, books from home, e-books or audio books can be read. Participants must read for three hours to receive their first prize; 12 hours completes the program. Various prizes include White Sox tickets, Vertical Endeavors tickets, autographed books, or

Gamestop gift cards. Everyone who completes the Teen Summer Reading Program will receive a book and a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of the larger prizes. For adults, readers must read five books to complete the program. One must be a “themed” book, which can be fiction, or non-fiction relating to travel in the title, covers, or plots of the book. Adult and young adult fiction or nonfiction books, including graphic novels and audiobooks, all count. Magazines, reference materials, almanacs, repair manuals or other similar materials do not count. Once adults complete their reading log, they will receive a book light, and a chance to enter the grand prize drawing for one of two gift cards or a tote bag filled with travel related items. “The whole idea is to keep kids interested in reading, develop their love of reading and have a good time doing it,”said Beverly Krakovec, Romeoville Branch Manager. In addition, the library will host a variety of “travel-related,” events throughout the summer with visits from juggler Jason Kollum and Big Run Wolf Ranch, a balloon show with Smarty Pants, a live-action Oregon Trail

Island Rendezvous set for June 8-9 By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

This weekend, the Isle a la Cache Museum will be host to a group of travelers from another time when French voyageurs canoed the Des Plaines River to trade for fur, and residents throughout the area are welcome to take a step back and join the voyage. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 8 and 9, at the Isle a la Cache Museum at 501 E. Romeo Road, vendors, entertainers and reenactors will immerse visitors in the lifestyles of the French and Native Americans who lived in the Illinois Country three centuries ago. The Forest Preserve District of Will County has been organizing the event since 1984 to celebrate the opening in 1983 of the museum, devoted to the 18th century fur trade. Bruce Hodgdon, Forest Preserve Public Information Officer, the

district purchased 48 acres of land in 1982 that was an island in the Des Plaines River, and perhaps used by voyageurs to “cache” their beaver pelts to be collected on their return north. Rendezvous was a time for voyageurs to celebrate the end of the trading season. “Because of this, the district decided to interpret this littleknown period of our history with a museum,” said Hodgdon. “Additional purchases of land brought the preserve total to 80 acres, its size today. As is the case today, we’ve relied on volunteer re-enactors, who go from Rendezvous to Rendezvous, to bring this history to life at Island Rendezvous. These re-enactors have researched the period, and their dress (costumes), accouterments and weapons are historically accurate.” Event highlights include live music, musket shooting, storytelling, a magic show,

children’s games and crafts, falconry demonstrations, a scavenger hunt and re-enactor demonstrations. “We have sponsored this event for 30 years because it is a popular program and because newcomers can discover Isle a la Cache Museum—or can tour the museum again for return visitors,” said Hodgdon. “Today’s museum is far superior to the original one opened in 1983. The passage of a $95 million referendum by Will County voters in 2005 included $13 million for site improvements ($82 million was earmarked for land purchases), including renovation of the Isle a la Cache Museum. The renovation was completed, and a grand re-opening of the museum was celebrated for Island Rendezvous in 2007.” For a complete schedule of activities, visit http:// www.reconnectwithnature. org/information/islandrendezvous-2013.asp.

Geez, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long since the Veterans Memorial was set up outside City Hall. But Phyllis Powell, one of the original members of the Crest Hill Veterans and Police Memorial Committee, told the nice crowd gathered in the St.Ambrose Parish gym she remembered the day very well. The day was miserably hot, she said, and she wore high heels. So with every step on the City Hall parking lot surface, her heels dug into the pavement, which, she later learned, was poured only the day before. She also remembers the gathering was honored by the attendance of a “doughboy,” a veteran of World War I. He was in his 90s, Powell said, but he insisted on wearing his uniform buttoned all the way up the neck, as well as his metal hat. Doing anything else would have violated regulations.And he was proud and honored to be there. Powell said the Veterans

MEMORIAL Continued from page 7 I had served, and even more thankful for those who did. It also was a great opportunity to hear Anna Mae Lukancic sing solo again. I still have a cassette tape of religious songs she recorded a few years back when I wrote a story on her.Wonderful lady. Absolutely fantastic voice. Soliman said she has performed at each of the 25 ceremonies. The best thing? There were all ages sitting in those seats.You had the elderly veterans and many of those who waited for them, or lost loved ones in the wars.You had middle-agers there who remembered what their parents had told them they had done in the wars … like flying some 35 bombing runs over Germany as a bombardier on a B-17 before he was 20. Hypothetically. And then you had the young families, with young kids. Maybe they have a loved one serving now. Or maybe they just wanted to honor those who had. It’s really nice when you are able to see the people who helped write history instead of just reading about it.Those guys and ladies are disappearing pretty fast. But like that doughboy 25 years ago, they were sure proud to be there on Memorial Day. So was I. Nick Reiher is managing editor of the Bugle, Enterprise and Sentinel newspapers.

Horoscopes Baby steps are better than crawling. The courage to move forward even when bombarded by doubts or on uncertain ground will create momentum. Use logic to overcome obstacles this week.

Knowledge is power. The more you know and learn, the easier it will be to make and keep money this week. Respect sound advice from trusted advisers rather than trying to figure it out for yourself.

Rather than rocking the boat, pick up a paddle and choose a clear direction. You can count on being diverted from impulsive actions by a guardian angel in the week to come - if you heed friendly advice.

Put on your thinking cap. Mercury is traveling through your sign and you might get a chance to figure something out in a creative way during the week ahead. Put your best thoughts down on paper.

Think before you act. In the first part of the week, you might be tempted to take spur-of-the-moment steps or change something that is better left alone. You will benefit by the advice of trusted friends.

Strive for popularity this week, but you don’t bend over backward to earn esteem. Keep relationships in perspective; someone who asks much of you may be doing you a favor by showing you your limits.

Multitasking could be counterproductive in the approaching week. You may find that you can do one thing well or several things poorly. Focus on one thing at a time; avoid frequent changes of direction.

Suspicions may be grounded in fact. It might be wise to check the facts twice before embarking on new enterprises in the early part of the week. Someone may only show you what you want to see.

Tit for tat. Remain open and sincere with others in the upcoming week and they will reciprocate. You may be called upon to be generous to those who helped you in the past.

Focus on constructive activities in the week ahead. You can wrap things up that have been pending for a long time with a flourish. Remain secure in your solid routine and a reliable work ethic.

In the week to come, you might meet up with people who have your best interests at heart. There’s a whole world of endless possibilities to explore. Accept invitations to find opportunities.

Fads fade and won’t fit your future. You can’t alter your fate by changing your clothes or your habits. You will be considered more trustworthy and reliable if you stick to routines in the week ahead.

Slammers win series over Crushers So far in 2013, it’s been the pitching that has carried the Joliet Slammers. But the offense carried Joliet to victory on Sunday. The Slammers (6-9) recorded a season high 16 hits and also scored the game’s first run for the first time this year, topping the Lake Erie Crushers (6-9) by a final score of 9-5. Marquis Riley led off the ballgame with a single and after both Nate Wilder and Grant DeBruin followed with groundouts, it looked like the Slammers would strand the leadoff man. Clean-up man David Christensen silenced those worries by hitting his first home run of the season to give Joliet a 2-0 lead. The Slammers were not done in the first, as Michael Wing followed up Christensen with a ground rule double and he eventually would score on an error by Crusher’s catcher Emmanual Quilles. Lake Erie responded right back in the home half of the first, plating two runs in Kevin Berard and Andrew Davis both on RBI groundouts from Russell Moldenhour and Anderson Hidalgo. It was a 3-2 Joliet lead after one inning. The Slammers continued to

Is 6-2 the new thing in prep volleyball? By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

There are three basic formations in volleyball: The 4-2, 6-2 and 5-1. Over the years it seems the 5-1 formation, where there is the same setter at all times, has been the most popular option. However, while the 4-2 is still fairly rare (four hitters, two setters), the 6-2 (six hitters, two setters) seems to be taking off, on both the college (women) and high school levels. In this formation the setter position is generally in the back row at all times.This allows three front row hitters on the court at all times. In some situations, such as high school and women’s collegiate volleyball, teams will sub out setters once they go into

the front row and replace them with a hitter. In other situations the setter will become a hitter in the front row if they are left in. This has hit the high school and women’s NCAA college volleyball levels because of the number of substitutions allowed per set. In high school you are allowed 18 subs per set, while in NCAA women’s volleyball, rules changed this past year, going from 12 to 15 subs. Men’s NCAA Division I volleyball carries the Olympic rule of six subs per set, which makes you need to have two setters who can hit if you run a 6-2. So, while the number of subs have increased in many levels, that has allowed more hitters on the court at a time and it is adding to the amount of setters being played across the area and

has been seen by many boys volleyball teams. “It’s not necessarily I like the 6-2 better than the 5-1 or the 4-2,” Plainfield East coach Dan Vergo said. “The big reason why (we run it) is our clientele. If you have short setters, you have to go with guys who can play in the front row. We’ve also had six pretty good hitters so you want to get all your hitters out there.” “We’ve got eight kids that can hit,” Notre Dame College Prep coach Patrick Cole said.“It’s hard enough to squeeze those into the five offensive positions taking one away. We’ve got two very talented setters.They set the ball up very well and they have good rapport with their hitters.There’s really no downside (to using the See VOLLEYBALL, page 18

Sports SLAMMERS Continued from page 13 in the third and fourth innings, Joliet was in control, 7-2. However Lake Erie climbed back into the ballgame, driving one run home in the bottom of the fourth and two more in the home half of the fifth. Moldenhauer started the bottom of the fifth inning by grounding out to second base, but then Lake Erie would get three consecutive hits. Andrew Davis reached on a single, Daniel Bowman hit a double and Anderson Hidalgo drove both home on a two-RBI single to make it a 7-5 ballgame after five innings. The Slammers offense continued to build on its lead, scoring two insurance runs, one in the seventh and one more in the eighth to make it a 9-5 score, which was how the game came to an end. The win gave the Slammers back-to-back victories in Ohio, as they won the middle game of the set 3-1, breaking their six game losing streak. Starting pitcher Jacob Sanchez (0-1) continues to dominate as he matched his 10-strikeout performance from his last outing against the Florence Freedom. Unfortunately Sanchez did not pick up his first victory as he lasted through eight innings, allowing only one run on four hits.

It would remain a 1-0 Lake Erie lead until the eighth inning when Joliet tied the ballgame after Marquis Riley scored on a RBI, infield single from DeBruin. Both teams were shutout in the ninth but Joliet would take command in the tenth. Ben Hewett led off the inning with a walk and he was moved over on a sacrifice bunt from Riley. Wilder and DeBruin would both follow with walks of their own to fill the bases for Christensen. Christensen did not have to use his bat as Lake Erie relief pitcher Ricky Bowen was a little wild and he walked Christensen, forcing in the eventual winning run for Joliet. The Slammers would add one more on a sacrifice fly from Michael Wing, scoring Wilder to make it a 3-1 game and Justin Erasmus closed the door in the bottom of the tenth for his fourth save of the year. Joliet caused itself the loss in the series opener, committing a franchise record five errors in a 5-1 loss to the Lake Erie Crushers (6-7). Slammers’ starter Bret Zawacki (0-2) did strikeout five batters through five innings but he was hurt by the defensive mistakes and picked up his second loss of the year. Once again the Slammers failed to score first as Lake Erie got on the board in the bottom of the second inning. Anderson Hidalgo scored on a sacrifice fly from Quilles to make it a 1-0 ballgame. The Crushers added one more in the bottom of the third and would have their largest inning

in the bottom of the fourth when Lake Erie plated two more runs to push their lead to 4-0. Andrew Davis reached on a ground rule double and eventual score on an RBI triple from Daniel Bowman.

VOLLEYBALL Continued from page 15 6-2 formation); we really just get an extra attacker.” “At Lockport we do run it,” Lockport coach Austin Lindley said.“The main reason is because you always have three hitters in the front row witch opens up more options for your setter. If you have just one setter when he is front row it makes it slightly easier for the blockers in the other side especially the middle. We are lucky enough to have a setter who can also hit and block very well. So when he is front row he hits when he goes to the back row he sets. And we sub out our other setter for a good right side hitter/blocker.” Running a 5-1 system makes you have a more well-rounded

setter, which is harder to find on the high school level. “To run a 5-1 you would need a tall and strong setter,”Lindley said. Tall to block and strong meaning very good so the defense would always have to be ready for him to dump and then also he would be tough to read.” The athletic ability of players and the advent of the libero have also helped the system as there are more defensive specialists available, so that hitters can focus more on hitting rather than playing back row.” “I think athletes nowadays are getting more athletic,” Vergo said. “If you have more hitters out there and a setter that can play defense, why not? You have to play your clientele and I think that’s why a lot of teams are doing it, to get as much fire power as possible out there.” For Minooka, a state power,

Sports a 5-1 system is currently better thanks to the strong play of senior setter Phil Hanson. “We do not run a 6-2 because our setter is very good and consistent and his opposite plays all the way around (hits from the back row, as well),” Minooka coach Janel Gretich said.“I prefer to run a 5-1 with our team, but if I had a setter I also wanted or needed to use as a hitting option, I would consider a 6-2.” Benet coach Amy Van Eekeren has used both systems during her career but prefers the 5-1 this year for her team as it provides a different option with the setter being able to kill. “With a 5-1, you have a setter in the front row, but with a 6-2, you have three hitters in the front line at all times, so that’s the benefit,” she said. “The disadvantage is with a front-row setter, you can also take tips, you can pull the blocker because if your front-row setter is jumpsetting—in our case, we always want our setter jump-setting— the plan is that he will hold the blocker and somewhere we get a one-on-one attack.” While both systems are still used regularly, it will be interesting to see if the 6-2 continues to pick up steam as the substitution rules increase. This allows more athletes to specialize in a specific position and a 6-2 formation allows more players to get into the game. Mark Gregory and Mike Sandrolini contributed

Stewart rallies back to win at Dover There was a day when Tony Stewart was a big force at Dover International Speedway. He had 11 top-10 finishes in his first 12 races at the Monster Mile, nine of which were in the top five.Two of those were wins. However, the bulk of that was more than a decade ago, spanning 1999 to 2004. Since then, things have been almost the exact opposite – one top-five finish in 16 races, and an average finishing position of 20.75. In fact, he hadn’t finished better than 20th in five consecutive Dover races. But the past all came roaring back for Stewart on Sunday, June 2. He ran down Juan Pablo Montoya with three laps to go and held on to win the “FedEx 400 benefiting

Autism Speaks” NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, his first win at the Monster Mile since sweeping both races 13 years ago, in 2000. It was so long ago that he was driving a Pontiac at the time. “If somebody would have told me it was going to be that way yesterday I would have told them they were crazy,” Stewart said. “This thing was not a car that could win the race. Just great pit strategy at the end. [Crew Chief] Steve Addington made a great call there that last caution and gave us the opportunity to race for it up there. “It didn’t seem like the guys that took four tires had a huge advantage taking off there.We had a car that was solid, we just never

got track position to get in clean air. It felt a lot better up front.” The last chapter of the race started with 25 laps remaining when pole-sitter Denny Hamlin, running sixth at the time, blew a right-front tire and slammed the wall in Turn 2. That interrupted about 20 crew chiefs who had been spending the previous few minutes furiously working fuel numbers to see if they could make it to the finish on green. But

Hamlin’s mishap rendered those moot, and set up a sprint to the finish. As is the case with many NASCAR races, Stewart was the beneficiary of luck. And as is the case with luck in NASCAR, what’s good luck for one driver is bad luck for another. This time, it was Jimmie Johnson, who has had his share of good luck at Dover, drawing the bad-luck side of the card.

For a moment, it looked like it didn’t matter. Johnson had an extremely strong restart, leaving Montoya fairly far behind. But it turned out to be too good. NASCAR ruled Johnson had jumped the restart, and ordered a pass-through penalty with 18 laps remaining. Johnson protested over the radio, asking NASCAR to reconsider, but eventually came through the pits. He finished 17th.

Medications for Parkinson’s only control symptoms By Tribune Media Services

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: What are the latest findings on Parkinson’s disease? Are there any new medications? I’ve heard a lot about CoQ10 as a promising alternative for those with Parkinson’s. Is there any truth to this? ANSWER: CoQ10 initially seemed to be a promising therapy for Parkinson’s in early research involving small numbers of patients. However, follow-up studies using larger numbers and higher doses have failed to confirm benefit from this drug. The medications currently available for Parkinson’s are directed at controlling symptoms. They can be very effective. Unfortunately, despite decades of intensive research, no drugs have been proven to slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the nervous system

that develops gradually over time.The hallmark symptoms include tremor, muscle rigidity and slowness of movements. In later stages, new symptoms may develop that include difficulties with memory and thinking, as well as bladder and bowel problems and, in some people, low blood pressure. In the 1960s, researchers discovered that the brains of people with Parkinson’s disease are low in a brain chemical called dopamine.This was a huge step forward in understanding and treating the disease.After that, researchers began to focus Parkinson’s treatment on replenishing dopamine.The early result of those efforts was a medication known as carbidopa-levodopa, which effectively restores brain dopamine and typically reduces many Parkinson’s symptoms. Four decades later, carbidopa-levodopa

is still the best drug available for Parkinson’s.Although it does not treat the cause, carbidopalevodopa does restore some of the normal brain chemistry. Unfortunately, as Parkinson’s advances, levodopa and related medications often become less effective in controlling symptoms, and the problems caused by the disease tend to get worse. Thus, with advancing Parkinson’s disease, the problems go beyond brain dopamine. Understanding the cause of Parkinson’s disease is the crucial first step to finding a way to slow or halt disease progression.A variety of environmental factors have been identified that influence the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. However, these account for only a small part of this risk. Genetics have also been extensively studied and remain a strong focus among researchers. Initial genetic studies

investigated rare families in which many members had Parkinson’s disease.Although gene mutations were identified to explain the cause in many of these families, these same gene mutations were not found to cause Parkinson’s disease in general. Known gene mutations account for just a small percent of typical Parkinson’s disease. However, these genetic studies shed light on processes that appear to play important roles in causing Parkinson’s disease. One important genetic finding surfaced early in these studies of familial Parkinson’s disease. In selected Parkinson’s disease families from Italy and Greece, the cause turned out to be the gene coding for alpha synuclein.This gene mutation was not found in run-ofthe-mill Parkinson’s disease, but led to another important discovery. People with typical Parkinson’s disease were found to have deposits of alpha synuclein in affected brain

cells, suggesting that this molecule might play an important role in all Parkinson’s disease. Of further interest has been the recognition that people with a disease somewhat similar to Parkinson’s but associated with early dementia, called dementia with Lewy bodies, also is marked by brain alpha synuclein deposits. Researchers are now studying the relationship between these two disorders, which appear to have a common link. Although we do not have a drug that halts the progression of Parkinson’s disease, that should not be reason for pessimism.After all, before you can fix either a car or a body, you have to know how it works.That is certainly true for Parkinson’s disease. Once we fully understand what causes it, new treatment should quickly follow. - J. Eric Ahlskog, M.D., Ph.D., Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.

Happiness could be key to good health By StatePoint Media

Everyone knows that proper diet, regular exercise and avoidance of bad habits like smoking are crucial to great health. But some experts say that a truly positive outlook on life can be just as powerful a factor in improving overall wellness. In fact, possessing “emotional vitality” and a sense of hopefulness, was found in a Harvard School of Public Health study to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. And many other studies have yielded results with similar implications. “An internal dialogue that is filled with negative, judgmental or self-defeating thoughts can be a self-fulfilling prophecy,” says Sean Meshorer, a spiritual teacher and author of the new book,“The Bliss Experiment: 28 Days to Personal Transformation.” “Bringing bliss into your work, relationships, family and service, no matter what your personal struggles may be, can help you live a more focused, stress-free, fulfilling life.” Meshorer, who sustained an

injury seven years ago that left him with severe, disabling and incurable chronic pain, believes your circumstances in life don’t need to define your happiness. In his new book, he offers readers science-based spiritual solutions to changing the way one thinks. With that in mind, Meshorer shared a few ways to get started: • Have compassion: You can’t be genuinely happy while you’re indifferent to the pain of others. Compassion reinforces our feeling to the world around us and breaks down barriers of loneliness. Make a conscious decision to act compassionately toward others -- including strangers and enemies -- without the expectation of receiving anything in return. • Dispute negative thoughts: Don’t suppress your negative thoughts or paint them over with pretty colors. Running from reality can be counterproductive. Instead, recognize that not all your negative thoughts are rational or justified. Analyze your thoughts for how they began and why they may

not be entirely accurate.Attempt to think about the people or things that are making you unhappy in the most objective light possible. • Be optimistic: Optimism is a practical and effective life strategy. Let go of your fears that being positive leads to disappointment. • Don’t place material conditions on happiness: To place your happiness at the whim of complex economic conditions out of your control is like playing Russian roulette with your soul. Don’t let your bank account define your happiness. • Practice afﬁrmations: Our words are extremely powerful. What we say to ourselves and how we say it are vitally important, impacting our bodily health and mental well-being. More tips about personal transformation, along with information about Meshorer’s new book, can be found at www. TheBlissExperiment.com. By pursuing your happiness, you can live a more functional, fulfilled life.

Classical Europe See and hear the best of the Old World

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The star of Salzburg’s Mozart Residence is one of Mozart’s very own pianos, seen here near the windows.

’ve always taught what I loved - and I’ve always loved music. I spent my high school years as a piano teacher. I’d start out my students with boogies and pop songs, and eventually get them turned on to Bach and Beethoven. In 1980, a truck dropped off 2,500 copies of my first guidebook - “Europe Through the Back Door.” During that year’s Christmas recital, some parents sat on boxes of travel books while their kids played carols, boogies, and Bach. By the next Christmas, I had let my piano students go. From that point on, I would be teaching European culture in print rather than on the keyboard. But I haven’t abandoned my Bach and Beethoven. Just as travel broadens your perspectives, so can music. Mixing the two on a trip to Europe brings an extra dimension to your travels.And four European cities - Salzburg, Leipzig, Bergen and Vienna - really rock when it comes to sights honoring local composers and their music. Salzburg is forever smiling to the tunes of Mozart.You’ll

get a double dose of Wolfgang Amadeus here - the Mozart Birthplace and the Mozart Residence (www.mozarteum. at).The house where Mozart was born is also where he composed most of his boy-genius works. Today it’s the most popular Mozart sight in town. You’ll peruse three floors of rooms with exhibits displaying paintings, letters, personal items, and lots of facsimiles, all attempting to bring life to the Mozart story. The Mozart Residence - Mozart’s second home (his family moved here when he was 17) - is less interesting than the house where he was born, but it’s also roomier, less crowded, and holds a piano that Mozart actually owned. It also comes with an informative audioguide and a 30-minute narrated slideshow. If you’re looking for a deal, one combo ticket will get you into both places. For those traveling to Germany, there are two sights in Leipzig that pay homage to another musical genius - Johann Sebastian Bach.The historic

St.Thomas Church (www. thomaskirche.org) is where Bach ran the boys’ choir from 1723 until 1750.While here, Bach was remarkably prolific - for a time, he even composed a new cantata every week. In front of the altar is the composer’s tomb. Across the little square from St.Thomas is the small, pricey, but very well-presented Bach Museum (www.bach-leipzig. de).You’ll see the actual organ console where Bach played his favorite instrument, an iron chest that came from his household and original manuscripts. With the help of the excellent audioguide, this museum is an absolute delight for music lovers. Far to the north near the Norwegian port of Bergen is Edvard Grieg’s home,Troldhaugen (www.kunstmuseene.no/ troldhaugen). Norway’s greatest composer spent his last 22 summers here, soaking up inspirational fjord beauty and composing many of his greatest works.You can visit his house on your own, but it’s more enjoyable if you take the included 20-minute tour. In summer, try to also attend the lunchtime piano concert.And don’t miss his little studio near

the fjord; in this tiny space Grieg created some huge works. Vienna is to classical music what Athens is to sculpture, Florence to painting, and Milwaukee to beer.You can make pilgrimages to the homes (now mostly small museums) of many composers: Schubert, Brahms, Haydn, Beethoven or Mozart. But I find these places inconveniently located and generally underwhelming. My favorite musical setting in Vienna is not a single home but an entire “House of Music.”The Haus der Musik (www.hdm.at) is a hightech experience that celebrates the hometown specialty.The museum, spread over five floors and well-described in English, is unique for its effective use of interactive touch-screen computers and headphones to explore the physics of sound. The museum also features fine audiovisual exhibits on each of the famous local heroes (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss and Mahler). Before leaving, pick up a virtual baton to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic. Each time you screw up, the musicians put their instruments down and ridicule you; make it through the piece, and you’ll get a

rousing round of applause. If you can’t get to Europe soon,“Rick Steves’ Europe:A Symphonic Journey,” is debuting all across the United States on public television this spring. I team up with my hometown Cascade Symphony Orchestra on a musical tour that begins in the U.S. and then touches down in seven European countries, with each classical work accompanied by video footage of that country’s landmarks. It focuses on the rise of nationalism in European history and music, celebrating how, in the late 19th century, music partnered with freedom-lovers. Romanticism and Nationalism were on the same team. Even if powdered wigs and conductor’s batons aren’t your thing, take time to weave travel and classical music together. You’ll find that in Europe, and all over the world, music is an international language - it cuts across borders and joins people together.

Real Estate & Business

Build buzz for yourself by setting career agenda Q. I like to live each day at a time. I’m pretty laid back and like to be spontaneous, but I’m in my late 30s and my career is not thriving. How can I start getting the promotions and the salary I want? A. If you want to move up a corporate food chain, you cannot be a leaf in the wind. You’ll simply end up with everyone else’s agenda blowing you around in ways that serve their goals. My clients tell me one of the hardest aspects of executive coaching is realizing that they have got to define their own goals. No good fairy is going to show up someday and tell them what they ought to be when they grow up.

As we age, it does tend to occur to us that the grown-ups are now us. The only guarantee we have at work is our failure to define our goals means we will end up somewhere else. A liberating way to start goal setting is to pretend you do know a magic fairy and that it’s on your schedule this week to have lunch with her. What would you ask her for? If you believed you could do absolutely anything, where would you tell her you want to go? Now, the scary part is to put a road map between where you are now and where you want to be. Most of my time with clients is spent building this road. The

biggest challenge for them is to be willing to break the journey into baby steps. The reason baby steps are tough is most people want something they could do tomorrow that will cause the clouds to break open and the angels to sing. Unfortunately, no goal you can put on your list will give you this Technicolor result. Instead, we have to be willing to pick away at what looks like a mountain with a fork but do it every day. You’d be amazed at the steps you can carve into the side of the mountain with a fork by tenacity, consistency and clarity of direction. Once you know where you are going and the steps you are going to take, it is much easier to influence other people toward your goals. During meetings, you

can articulate where you will end up. During your conversations with your boss you can get his counsel on how best to go where you want. As you have these conversations, you build a buzz and belief in others that you are going to do exactly what you’ve been saying. Others will then support and anticipate your future achievements. Floating on the latest corporate breeze and crossing your fingers that people will support the goals that you yourself can’t even articulate is only a recipe for misery. At the end of a long career, you may have been spontaneous but it is highly unlikely you will be happy or well paid.

Last word(s) Q. One of my employees

tends to make mistakes that I always end up reminding him about. Is there any diplomatic way to get him to remember? I’m tired of being his external memory unit! A. Yes, tell him you know he knows it is critical in his job to remember his job. Let him know you want to keep him but need him to come up with a technique to remember. Otherwise, he may need a job with fewer memory demands.

New Mr. R.I.G.H.T group helping to empower RHS By Delorise Ivy Valley View School District

With several years of positive experiences through the R.I.G.H.T. (Really intelligent Girls Hang Together) organization under their belts, Romeoville High School officials this year launched a Mr. R.I.G.H.T (The Really Intelligent Guys Hang Together) group as well. Organized by Assistant Principal Yolanda Jordan, Mr. R.I.G.H.T. is designed to assist male RHS students by establishing

relationships with adult male mentors.The program provides a place for male students to meet and interact with one another in a more relaxed, yet structured and supervised, environment. During the course of the academic year, students met regularly to discuss topics, attend workshops, participate in community service projects and collaborate with their female R.I.G.H.T. counterparts. Many males today are experiencing issues that they are unable to deal with due to lack

of knowledge, resources and/ or positive male influences,” said Jordan, who originally founded R.I.G.H.T. when she was at Bolingbrook High School and later brought the female version with her when she moved to RHS. Mr. R.I.G.H.T., Jordan said, “will serve as a platform to educate young men while empowering them to help themselves and others.” The Mr. R.I.G.H.T. group began meeting in March and will likely return in the fall when classes begin again.

Mexican folk tale at Salk School It was a Mexican folk tale involving a rich, greedy farmer and his family who were fooled by a clever mischief maker. And, by all measures, it was a huge success. Fourth and fifth grade bilingual students at Salk Elementary School (Bolingbrook) staged “Pedro de Urdemalas” four different times for fellow students, teachers and parents during the week prior to Memorial Day. Actors had to memorize large scripts and perform in front of a live audience. Students helped with lighting, music, sets and costumes. Plus, they all had to write multiple reflections about their experiences before, during and after the play. “It was wonderful,” said Shaira De Leon, Salk’s 4-5 bilingual teacher. “I am certain that students and parents will remember this experience for many years to come.” The cast included Joshua Vera (Jose), Jocelyn Romero (Maria), Edwin Dominguez (Pedro de Urdemalas), Byron Ramirez (Senior Manuel de los Cerdos), Joana Velasquez (Senora Isabella),Atlantis Canty & Daisy Arteaga (Senorita Dolores), Javier Villagran (Guest 1), and Ronnie Torres (Guest 2).
