Play Time Village of Romeoville completes $1.2 million Murphy Park

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Long anticipated by residents in the area, construction of the new Murphy Park is complete at the site of the old village hall complex near Route 53 and Montrose Avenue.

The completion of the $1.2 million addition marks the second phase of the Civic Campus Project. The former village hall and annex buildings were demolished in September 2010 to make room for the

new community park and the redevelopment of the Veteran’s Memorial. The project was to be completed in three phases and funded through tax increment financing dollars and grant funds.

Murphy Park now includes a playground, parking lot, entryway and rock outcroppings, rubberized safety surfacing, and a picnic shelter.

Valley View reviews tentative budget, eyes possible cuts

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The Valley View School District 365u school board took its first look at its tentative budget for 2013-2014 school year, coming in with a slight increase over last year.

Assistant Superintendent Gary Grizaffi presented an operating budget of $218.7 million, a 1.3 percent increase over last year, marking the smallest increase year over year in recent times.

To recap sourcing for the school district, Grizaffi reported the district receives the lionshare, 76 percent of its revenue through local property

tax at $177 million; with $78 million coming from the state, and $14 million from federal dollars.

The 2013 property tax levy will be limited to 1.7 percent of the 2012 extension, or an estimated $2.2 million of additional local property tax revenue, of which half will be received in the 2013-2014 school year. This is a decrease over last year when the district realized a $3.77 million increase.

Grizaffi said revenue from the state continually being prorated is becoming an increasing problem for the district. The largest resource for the district, General State Aid, is dropping

each year, representing a loss of $3.2 million. In addition, transportation reimbursement continues to be cut, with the district receiving $1.2 million less than it should receive since 2010-2011. “Because of these factors, we will be monitoring closely our financial health, and budget reductions may be needed in the near future,� said Grizaffi.

The education fund has increased by 3.5 percent at $179 million. The district is working with a $66 million fund balance.

The district projects $211 million in revenues and $220 See VALLEY VIEW, page 9

Runway reconstruction continues at Lewis

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Nearly two years ago, in an attempt to increase its stature as an executive corporate airport, bringing economic growth to the area, local politicians sought the help of the Federal Aviation Administration.

With U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, leading the charge, last week, local officials kicked off the second phase of the $4.2 million runway reconstruction under way at Lewis University Airport, bringing with it 72 construction jobs to the area.

As the state’s senior member on the House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Lipinski crafted legislation to push through the need to fund the project.

“Lewis University Airport is an economic engine not just for the Village of Romeoville, but for the entire region,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak. “This project ensures that the airport will continue to draw jobs and businesses to our communities for years to come.”

Through a $2.5 million grant made possible by the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill the congressman was instrumental in passing last year, work started this spring on the reconstruction of the eastern half of Runway 9-27, one of two runways at the airport and originally built in 1989. The FAA recently awarded an additional $1.3 million so construction can start within the next few weeks on the 5,700-foot runway’s western half. That project also includes the installation of new airfield lighting to improve safety at the airport.

“These improvements are creating good construction jobs right now, but the new runway will only serve to enhance the airport’s capacity and

generate more economic opportunity for local communities far into the future,” said Lipinski, who sits on the Aviation Subcommittee. “I will always recognize the importance of Lewis University Airport to the region and will keep working with the federal government so we continue to invest in its future.”

The state and the Joliet Regional Port District each are contributing $211,311 to the project.

“Lewis University Airport is one of the top selling points for attracting jobs to Will County, one of the fastest-growing areas in the state and the country,” Will

County Executive Larry Walsh said.

The runway is anticipated to be complete by this winter.

The Lewis University Airport is Will County’s only corporate airport and is owned and operated by the Joliet Regional Port District and accommodates more than 100,000 arrivals and departures annually. The Port District operates without the use of a tax levy.

It has improved the facility by the use of Revenue Bonds and Municipal investment contributions, supplementing operating revenues collected from airport users/ tenants.

The airport annually serves as the host airport for the 100 sponsor, driver, and race team aircraft that are used in the two racing weeks run at Chicagoland Speedway. Other regional events supported by the airport include the National Hot Rod Drag Racing at Route 66 Raceway and the Western Open Golf Championship.

In addition, the airport serves numerous Fortune 500 companies and corporate aircraft, as well as Aviation Department at Lewis University, the only college aviation program in Illinois with an airport on its campus.

JJC board passes $45 million bond issue

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Despite opposition from three of its trustees, the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees pushed through the approval of a $45 million bond sale to pursue its plan to build a multipurpose center on its main campus and the expansion of its north campus in Romeoville.

In a 4-3 vote, The JJC Board approved a resolution of intent to issue $45 million in bonds to fund both priority projects outlined in the updated 2013 JJC Master Plan. An additional $25 million in bonds was also issued to be used in the future for separate restructuring purposes.

These alternate revenue bonds are supported by students through capital assessment fees and will be based on a per credit hour rate. On July 30, the

board approved a $4 increase to be used as a funding strategy for these projects. Students now spend approximately $107 per credit hour. The earliest the fee would go into affect would be September 2014.

However, in discussing the bond issue, in the spirit of transparency, Board Chairman Andrew Mihelich, divulged new information received from its financial team and bond counsel that recent reports show that the rates would not be as favorable, and perhaps would increase from the estimate given previously.

Though no measure was taken to do so, Mihelich equated the increase to an additional $1 in capital assessment fees or a more than 1 percent increase in tuition.

Robert Lewis of PMA Financial Group said such bonds are backed by two sources of security. In this

case, capital assessment fees and a general obligation levy that could be extended to cover the cost. Trustee Michael O’Connell questioned whether such an increase would lead to a tax increase for property owners. Lewis explained using the levy is merely a back-up plan that would likely never be used, pointing out the college has abated the levy for the past four years and is being used as a tactic to get a better interest rate.

“That is just noting an extreme case that it could happen. But rather than use the levy we could find other sources of revenue to cover that,” said Mihelich.

Vice Chair Jeff May said despite these predictions, the fact of the matter is that interest rates and construction costs are still at historical lows, making this the time to build before an upswing occurs.

“We’ve heard all the doom and gloom from people, but there is a season for everything,” said May. “We know that our facility is substandard; we know that enrollment may lessen a little; we also know that studies show that students will be coming to JJC in droves. And we know there is a demand and need for a facility and expansion. Yes, construction and rates are a little higher than first thought, but you don’t build for a couple of years.

“We are ripe for building. You build for the next decade and lay the foundation for years to come, and we have the solid financial backing to do it.”

Yet trustees O’Connell, Tina Markley and Barbara Adams cast the dissenting votes, calling on the board to be responsible and get its financial house in order before pursuing any additional expenses, pointing to several decreases in revenue over the

past few years.

Markley called attention to various factors including the state’s inability to produce the $25 million promised for its City Center still under construction.

Previous reports from the college said the school would still be eligible for the funds in the upcoming year depending on the governor’s new capital plan.

When questioned, JJC President Debra Daniels said JJC is prepared to cover the $25 million if the state does not come through.

In addition, Markley reported that the Renaissance Center has been losing money since 2007; there are issues with its day care center; money is lost at the fitness center and enrollment is flat.

“It’s unfair and irresponsible to continue to build,” said Markley. “…It is irresponsible to move forward with all these unresolved issues. I am absolutely opposed to the multipurpose center and I think we need to have a complete study done for the Romeoville expansion. If anyone else went to a lender to fund a project that’s what would be required. Why should we be any different.”

Trustee Robert Wunderlich reported that all those issues are being considered and that they are waiting on reports from each of those departments and is confident those issues will be resolved, pointing to the fact that as a public institution it is paramount they provide those services.

“We are not a private institution, we just can’t cut it out,” said Wunderlich.

O’Connell said he has always been in favor of the multipurpose center and expansion but has a problem with the amount projected to

build the facility.

“We are on thin water and need to scale back a little—we don’t need the Taj Mahal,” said O’Connell. “… I’d like us to rethink this through until we are on a little safer ground. It scares me.”

Yet May said for trustees to paint JJC as financially unstable is “ludicrous.”

“Overall, our fiscal health is outstanding,” said May. “This is not about the next two years.

We know we have to plan for long-term, and we can still get this done. We could wait, but it will only cost us more money.”

Student Trustee Keith Bryant also supported the bond sale, reporting students are in favor and agree with the increase with fees for the betterment of the school.

Construction is still a long way off, but with the approval of the bond issue, a planning committee will be formed and a schedule set.

The multipurpose facility was included in the college’s 2008 master plan but not implemented. This building, planned for construction on the south side of the college’s main campus on Houbolt Road, is envisioned to include athletics, physical education, and conference center and corporate training space.

An executive summary of the plan shows the 40-acre site at the Romeoville campus will more than adequately accommodate a needed academic addition(s) to the west of the existing one-story building, as well as an addition to the east for new student development space. While the existing parking capacity is currently meeting the needs of this location, both parking lots could easily be expanded to the west for future capacity needs, according to the plan.

Taste of Pakistan celebrates culture

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Becoming one of the largest celebrations of its kind, drawing crowds from nearby states, Bolingbrook will celebrate its 2013 Taste of Pakistan, honoring Pakistan’s 66th Independence Day.

The Association of Pakistani Americans of Bolingbrook will hold its 22nd annual flag hoisting ceremony, Saturday, Aug. 24. Spend the day enjoying food, entertainment and prizes from noon to 11 p.m. at the Bolingbrook Performing Arts Center, 375 Briarcliff Road.

One of Pakistan’s favorite

performers, Humaira Arshad, will entertain throughout the evening. In its 22nd year in Bolingbrook, the event marks Pakistan’s Independence Day and features food, music, booths and merchandise of Middle Eastern origin.

Starting off small, organizer Talat Rashid began the ceremony

22 years ago with just 20 families in attendance in what has now grown to the thousands coming from Ohio and Iowa.

Rashid began the event as a traditional flag-hoisting ceremony, designed for the Pakistani families living in the area and it has now evolved into the Taste of Pakistan with food

Newly constructed Murphy Park is now open for residents to enjoy and is located off of Route 53 and Montrose Avenue.

PARKS Continued from page 1 Owen, 1, were excited about the unveiling of the park, which is the only one of its kind in the area. However, while she found the park to be a nice addition to the community she was a tad disappointed in the absence of a splash pad that was in the original plan.

“It offers a wonderful opportunity for my grandson to play and is a nice addition to the community—but where’s the water,” agreed 35-year resident Sharon Cortesi.

Assistant Village Manager Dawn Caldwell said the splash pad just wasn’t in the budget at this time.

The site has received a complete transformation since it occupied the old village hall and adjacent to

it, the former police station.

The first phase of the Civic Campus project was focused on clearing the space and reinforcing the infrastructure for stormwater detention and was the first to be complete. The old police station was converted and renovated and now houses the Tri County SRA, the Romeoville Chamber of Commerce, and the Historical Society.

One of the main components of the area to be completed was the Edward “Doc” McCartan Veterans Memorial Plaza, which was complete in November 2011.

Murphy Park now completes the second phase. However, the village is still reviewing options for the final phase of the project.

The third phase originally was to include redeveloping the area in which Fire Station 1 is located, currently adjacent to Murphy Park.

“Reciprocal relationship” great for RHS football and the community As they prepare for their Aug. 30 season opener, Romeoville High School football players are sporting a new attitude…and it has little to do with the gridiron itself.

Thanks to a partnership between the RHS football program and the newly formed Gridiron Club, varsity football players have been busy forming what Head Football Coach Jeff Kuna calls “a reciprocal relationship with our community.”

“Obviously our number one goal is to be a playoff team each and every fall,” Kuna said.“But all of us have to make a year-round commitment to being better students, better athletes, better people all-around.”

That commitment started earlier this summer when a core group of parents came to Kuna asking how they could help the RHS football program.

“Many of their kids have gone through the RYFC (Romeoville Youth Football and Cheerleading) program and they wanted to do some extra stuff for our kids,” Kuna said. “They wanted to do some fundraising because they all have strong ties to the community and have the resources to get support for the program. But more importantly, they wanted to provide

a support system for the coaches and players.”

“They’re really doing a great job with that,” he added, pointing out the Gridiron Club has put together a summer cookout, is recruiting parents to help operate the concession stand and is providing Gatorade and/or snack bags for players after road games.

But turn-about is fair play.

“We’re asking the community to give to our kids, so we wanted the kids to give back as well,” said Kuna.

As a result, several dozen RHS varsity players volunteered their time this summer helping at the DuPageTownship Food Pantry and at RYFC equipment and registration days. They also gave Coach Kuna a hand at his Romeoville Recreation Department Football Academy.

“We’re seeing our guys step up because they see what the community is doing for us,” Kuna said. “I’ve seen a change in attitude. They feel good about themselves.

They see the importance of helping in the community and once they do it, they realize how much they enjoy it.”

“We’re doing whatever we can do to help

out,” said senior co-captain Mark Hammond.

“There’s a lot more energy and a lot of team bonding. It’s bringing us closer together.”

“By getting the community involved, you’re bringing the community together,” added senior co-captain Caleb Purham. “It makes the season more fun and enjoyable which is why a lot of us go out to play.”

Kuna hopes the team spirit spreads to the lower levels of the program.

“Hopefully as freshmen come into our program, they’ll see what the upper classmen are doing and they’ll want to become a part of that,” he said.

As for the Gridiron Club, Kuna is delighted to have parents involved.

“I’ve always encouraged something like this, but this group of parents has really pulled together,” he said. “They’re going above and beyond to find different ways to support us.”

“As parents, we are committed to instilling a servant leadership way of thinking into our boys and know that it will build character as they become men,” said Bonnie Jones, Secretary of the Gridiron Club. “We know that one day they will be leaders in our community.”

VALLEY VIEW Continued from page 2 in expenses and plans to use $9 million in reserves to cover the difference.

In addition to a decrease in state funding, the district must pay back taxes to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital which was recently designated as tax-exempt in the amount of $1.3 million for this school year. The district also faces paying out $2.6 million in a refund of property tax due to objection settlements, which is uncommon and is something the district is investigating.

“We are not in as good shape as we once were. It is critical to maintain the budget and keep an eye on this, and we are,” said Grizaffi. “I encourage anyone to go line by line of this budget to see if there is any fat.”

The budget will be on display for 30 days and a public hearing is scheduled during the regular school board meeting Sept. 23.

Meet some helpmates.

This week, there will be plenty of time to share with a special someone, even if it means taking work home. Your social life may revolve around the job or work.

Enlarge the scope of your money-making activities in the week ahead. You should take the time to plan ahead and visualize ways to manifest a secure and harmonious financial future.

Bet on a sure thing.

Review what you’re doing right that brings you peace and happiness. In the week to come, you may achieve an understanding about how a relationship affects finances.

During the upcoming week, you could be fooled into thinking you’re right when you are wrong, or vice versa. Remain organized and be a stickler about attending to duties for the best success.

Relationships can experience a growth spurt in the week ahead. Treating partners like friends and joining together to plan for the future can widen the field of mutual harmony.

Looking for love in all the right places might be the song you sing in the upcoming week. If you’re already in a steady relationship, everything should go exceedingly well.

Attract new admirers.

Focus on creating and improving enduring relationships. This is a great week to make joint plans or to execute them without rocking the boat. Row your boat gently down the stream.

Due to your enthusiasm to make major changes, you may scatter your energies like confetti. In the week ahead, don’t forget that someone must sweep up the mess you leave behind.

Strike a balance between doing the right thing and doing everything to succeed this week. Your ambitions could be sidetracked by altruism but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Concentrate on achieving clarity in the week to come.

You may run into a few people who frown on your dreams or seem controlling. Remain clear about what’s really important.

Charm them and disarm them in the week ahead. Your people skills are in top form, but in an effort to please all the people all the time, or to seem like a trendsetter, you could overspend.

Spartans look to build off last year

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Not only did the Romeoville soccer team lose four seniors from last year’s program to local college programs, the Spartans also lost three would-be seniors for different reasons.

“It is going to be interesting,” said Romeoville coach Nick Cirrincione. “We basically lost three starting players who would be seniors right now that are out of the program. I am not going to name names, but they are three kids who would have been huge for the team.”

Cirrincione said the Spartans are ready to move on and not worry about who is not on the team.

“Without them, it’s a crap shoot right now. We could be phenomenal, we should be alright,” he said. “We have had a good summer work out and the seniors have taken a leadership role. Over the summer Giovanni Terraciano and Rene Galvan are both seniors who have taken leadership roles. This is Rene’s third year on varsity and Giovanni’s second.”

Lewis adds to baseball roster Lewis University head baseball coach Tim McDonough announced on Tuesday (Aug. 6) the addition of six new members to the Flyers’ squad for the 2013-14 school year.

Eann Cox (Erie, Ill./Erie/ Black Hawk College), Jared Pyatt (Pekin, Ill./Pekin/Illinois Central), Cale Robinson (Weldon, Ill./Clinton/Lincoln College), Harry Vickers (Aurora, Ill./Waubonsie Valley/ Waubonsee CC), Josh Walinski (Wauconda, Ill./Carmel) and Kelton Zimmerman (Glen Ellyn, Ill./St. Francis/College of DuPage) join the six recruits from the early signing period to become McDonough’s largest recruiting class since the 200708 season.

“I couldn’t be happier with the additions of these six student-athletes to the program,” McDonough said. “I feel we have not only made the program better for this upcoming season, but we have also positioned ourselves to remain strong for the next few years.

“Although we have many

starters from last year’s Regional team returning, I can’t wait to see the competition in the fall.”

Cox (6-2, 240, pitcher/ infielder) heads to Lewis after helping Black Hawk College to back-to-back Arrowhead Conference and Sectional titles in 2012 and 2013. The 2013 All-Conference pitcher and infielder put together a 6-4 record on the mound with a 1.82 ERA with 80 strikeouts.

At the plate, Cox hit .370 with eight doubles and 36 RBI. In 2011, the three-time letterman was an All-State selection and helped the Erie squad to a third-place finish at the Class 2A State Championship, finishing with a 26-5-1 record.

As a senior, he hit .486 with six home runs, 16 doubles, and 48 RBI while going 10-1 on the mound with a 1.13 ERA and 126 strikeouts.

“Eann is a right-handed power pitcher and should jump into our weekend rotation right away,” McDonough said.

“He has three plus pitches that

he can command and throw in any count.

“Eann also is an outstanding hitter and could compete for at-bats as well.”

Pyatt (6-0, 205, infielder) joins the Flyers with two years of collegiate experience at Illinois Central College (ICC), after helping the Cougars to an ICC-record 38 win season in 2013. As a sophomore, he hit .315 with 13 doubles and two home runs.

A four-year letterman at Pekin, Pyatt hit .472 with 12 doubles, 10 home runs and 31 RBI, to earn Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association (IHSBCA) Class 4A All-State and Mid-Illini Conference First Team honors in 2011.

“Jared is someone I have had my eye on for awhile and I am extremely excited to have him in the program,” McDonough said. “He was an All-State performer out of high school and has put together two solid seasons at the plate at ICC, playing in one of the toughest See LEWIS, page 18

Jamie Hopper (right) had a strong summer for Romeoville.

Romeoville gains experience from summer league games

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

While summer league is always an important tool for a basketball team, when that team loses its entire starting lineup, that makes it all the more important.

The Romeoville girls basketball team is in that situation after losing its starting five following a year where it won the Southwest Prairie Conference title, as well as the Lemont Regional championship.

The summer was used to give the plethora of younger girls

some experience, not only at the varsity level,but competing at the varsity level as key components of the team.

The biggest ringleader on the team over summer was junior Jamie Hopper. Hopper contributed off the bench for the Spartans last year, especially down the stretch of the season and played in some key moments.

That experience seemed to help her.

“Jamie stepped up and put together a nice summer,” Romeoville coach Julio Carrasco said. “She took on a leadership

role for us. She did some scoring for us and I think she will have a tremendous year.

“Her defense got her playing time last year. She has good length so we were able to use her on top of the zone. She probably led us in steals in the summer. She is our tallest player, so we need to get her inside a little more.”

Another player who turned heads was freshman point guard Lexi Marin. She will be the one to replace four-year starting See SUMMER, page 17

Stingily making impact with Titans Romeoville graduate Byron Stingily is making his way up the depth chart with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans.

The 6-foot-5-inch, 313-pounder was a defensive end with the Spartans, but was moved to offensive line at Joliet Junior College.

Before attending Louisville,

played at Joliet Junior College during Last season, Stingily, the 175th overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft, played in five games and notched his first two career starts at right tackle in the final two games of the season.

Stingily made his first career NFL start at right tackle at Green Bay on Dec. 23, 2012.

This season, he is listed on the training camp depth chart as the No. 2 left tackle, but has seen time with the first unit in

training camp, at times lining up at right tackle next to Titans first-round draft choice Chance Warmack.

Lewis tennis earns academic honors The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced that Lewis University has earned the ITA All-Academic Team award, given to women’s tennis teams with a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or above for the 2012-13 school year.

The Flyers, who are one of six Great Lakes Valley Conference squads to earn the honor, checked in with a cumulative GPA of 3.50.

Juniors Zsofia Lanstiak (Budapest, Hungary/Karinthy Frigyes Gimnazium), Kendra Mills (Elmhurst, Ill./York) and freshman Jill Wetmore (Ottawa, Ill./Ottawa) each claimed ITA Scholar-Athlete accolades with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or above.

Lanstiak, a 2013 Capital One Academic All-America® Division II Women’s At-Large Second Team selection, is a psychology major and had a 3.64 cumulative GPA for the 2012-13 school year.

Mills, a computer graphic design major, had a 3.94 cumuatlive GPA. Wetmore, an air traffic control major, had a perfect 4.0 GPA in 2012-13.

In order to earn ITA ScholarAthlete status, a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale)

for the current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman through senior year).

“I am proud of the women’s team for what they have accomplished on the tennis court without sacrificing academic success in the classroom,” Lewis head women’s tennis coach Brett Bridel said.

Lewis opens the 2013 Fall campaign on September 6th, as they head to St. Louis to participate in the Billiken Invitational, hosted by Saint Louis.

The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced that Lewis University men’s tennis players Philip Kuenzi (Manitowoc, Wis./Roncalli) and Armand Levandi (Tallinn,Estonia/ Audentese Spordigumnaasiumi) have both earned ITA ScholarAthlete status for the 2012-13 school year.

The big key will be to get her to run the transition offense.”

Other players expected to see an increase in action this year are seniors Biannca Conner and Maria Gomez, as well as

juniors Faith Heitman and Perla Gutierrez.

“I’m really excited about this year,” Carrasco stated. “We are going to rebuild and continue to build in the offseason.We played a lot of good teams over summer and we kept with the top teams

in our conference.”

Even though last year’s seniors departed, they were able to leave the younger girls with a hard work ethic.

“What the seniors did last year really set the standard, with their commitment level,” Carrasco

said. “We didn’t have many girls miss games, and when they did, a lot of the time it was for their AAU team.They want to play and get better. That commitment is going to help us.”

are both little brothers of some of our top players last year. Jason played some time at center-mid and was on varsity as a freshman and sophomore.”

Like it did last year, Romeoville is looking to compete in the Southwest Prairie Conference, but to really be clicking at the end of the season.

“There is only one time of the season that matters to me and that is the end of the year,” Cirrincione said. “Last year, we got hot at the right time and got a regional title. We have never placed in

the top three in conference and we won a regional title.This year, we hope to have a little better season in conference, but we still want to get hot at the end of the season and go further in the state tournament.”

Cirrincione again thinks the SPC could be a competitive league.

“Plainfield Central has won it every year,” Cirrincione said. ”Oswego East has a dynamite goalie coming back, so this conference will be like last year, where a lot of teams beat other

teams. It is all competitive. We will have to peak at the right time. I think this team has a great bond and when you go on a good run, it is exciting and anything can happen.”

In order to be better prepared for a run at a sectional title, the Spartans are going to the Morton Tournament downstate, which Cirrincione said is more than just team bonding.

“We are going to see teams like Edwardsville, who we lost to in the sectional and we hadn’t seen until that game in the season.

This is one of those tournaments I always wanted to get in if it opened up. We would have never got in this tournament if we didn’t have a regional title.”

The success also brought along program cuts, something that is a good problem to have.

“Our program is getting better and is getting competitive,” Cirrincione said. “The guys who are working hard are the ones that are staying around and it is nice to see that.”

Logano making a case for the Chase Add another name to the Chase conversation.

Joey Logano started Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from the pole, and after a convoluted mix of strategy and racing incidents, it was Logano who claimed the victory and established himself as a contender for a berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The victory was Logano’s first of the season, his first at Michigan, his first for Penske Racing and the third of his career. Kevin Harvick ran second, followed by Kurt Busch, Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer.

The victory moved Logano from 16th to 13th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings, 17 points out of 10 place.The youngest winner in MIS history also is in play for a Wild Card, with two spots available

to the drivers in positions 11-20 in the standings with the most victories.

“This is huge for our Chase hopes,” Logano said. “We needed this to have a shot at getting in the Chase. We’re close now, but we can’t make any mistakes.This sure does help a lot.”

Mark Martin took off after a restart on Lap 178, as Kurt Busch, Logano and Harvick battled for the second spot behind him. But Martin was short on field, and after the running order shuffled out with Logano in second and Harvick in third, the pursuers began to close in on the leader.

But Logano, 23, who came to the public eye as a 14-year-old with praise from the 54-year-old Martin, couldn’t make the pass for the lead, even though Martin was trying mightily to save fuel.

“I noticed he was lifting early,

because I was catching him on entry (into the corners),” Logano said. “He was able to pull me on exit. I wanted to get by him, because I knew the 29 (Harvick) was fast, too…

“It is so cool to be here in Victory Lane. It’s crazy racing Mark Martin, my childhood hero. I was able to race against him in Pocono last year for the win. It is so cool racing against a guy like that But when Martin slowed in Turn 3 on Lap 197 and brought

his car to pit road for fuel, Logano shot past him into the lead with Harvick in hot pursuit. Logano held the top spot for the final four laps and took the checkered flag by 1.018 seconds over the No. 29 Chevrolet.

To Harvick,the race was decided on the final restart. Harvick lined up inside Martin with Logano’s No. 22 Ford behind the No. 29 Chevy.

Series leader Jimmie Johnson couldn’t exorcise his Michigan

jinx. After wrecking his primary car in Saturday’s practice, Johnson started Sunday’s race from the rear of the field in a backup car.

He took the lead on Lap 43 during a cycle of green-flag pit stops, but shortly thereafter Johnson exited the race because of an engine failure.

After Sunday’s race, the two cars are tied for the final Wild Card spot, with the No. 56, driven by Martin Truex Jr. holding the tiebreaker based on quality of finishes.

THE BUGLE AUGUST 23, 2013

Real Estate & Business

Is coworker a liar or just unrealistic?

Q. I work with a person who was just promoted to lead. My problem is he always promises to get tasks I need done and then makes excuses. We just had someone quit, and I know he has a lot on his plate, but I am tired of him lying. Is there a way to get him to deliver what he promises?

A. Yes, but you have to find out what is realistic for him to promise. Your coworker sounds like a classic case of over promise and under deliver.

The problem is he can’t stand to disappoint anyone, including you.

I know it seems counterintuitive that a person who doesn’t want to disappoint others ends up breaking so many promises. From your coworker’s perspective, immediate approval is much

more powerful than long-term conflict. When people ask him to help, he keeps saying “You bet!” and thus feels popular.

In his mind he probably thinks he can do everything he promises. Then he ends up facing a stack of work even Superman would find daunting. Right up to the moment he fails to deliver, he most likely tells himself he’ll get it done.

Unfortunately, if you try to get him to apologize after he drops your ball, you’ll discover he is full of more excuses than accountability. Remember this is a guy who doesn’t want anyone to be mad at him. Keep in mind, he doesn’t intend to lie to you, he is just bad at judging his limits.

Instead of accusing him of lying, you need to help him be realistic if you want to avoid

disappointment. Next time you ask him for help, tell him point blank you need him to evaluate what else he has on his plate.

Make it clear that you’ll be much less upset if he sets a realistic but longer time frame than if he fails to deliver.

You’ll find that a little empathy with him will go a long way. Think of times you also were overly optimistic about your promises. Make it clear you appreciate that his heart is in the right place when he offers to help. Make it equally clear that you know he doesn’t want to get a reputation for not following through on promises.

Many adults simply don’t do what psychologists refer to as causal thinking.They are unable to see that if they do action A, they will set in motion a chain of events where B, C and D logically follow. The ability to see the consequences of our actions in the future is actually

a mature skill that few adults possess.

Most adults think in younger and more emotional ways about the future. Your coworker thinks,“If I tell everyone I would help, everyone will like me and that makes me feel good right now.” He doesn’t think longterm about the consequences of constantly disappointing his team.

Many of my clients that have learned causal thinking get upset with people at work and ask me during sessions, “What are they thinking to act like this?” I point out that the reality is their coworkers aren’t thinking.

When you point out the negative consequences to your coworker’s behavior, his need for approval will help him become realistic. You’ll enjoy being able to count on him.

He’ll learn that long-term trust beats short-term popularity any day!

Last Word(s) Q. I made a mistake at work and fixed it, but now I feel guilty that I never mentioned the problem to my boss. Should I confess my mistake?

A. No, confession may be good for your spiritual development but it’s a bad idea for your career success.

Buying a house with 403(b) money Dear Dave, Should I take advantage of a 403(b) withdrawal in order to buy a house?

Bryan Dear Bryan, I wouldn’t do that because it really doesn’t accomplish anything. The only money you can take out is what you’ve put in, and any growth you’ve experienced has to stay in there.

Basically, it’s a retirement plan, and I wouldn’t monkey around with retirement money to buy a home.

My advice is to make sure you’re debt-free and you have three to six months of expenses set aside in an emergency fund.

Once you’ve taken care of those issues, you can pile up a bunch of cash in a money market account toward the purchase of a home. You won’t earn a lot of money, but it’s a safe place

to park your cash when you’re saving up for a big purchase.

When it comes to saving and investing, I’m a big fan of mutual funds.

The problem in this scenario is that if you start sticking money in mutual funds, then the market is down when you’re ready to buy, you could’ve lost some money. That’s not the route I’d want to go if I’m in your shoes, Bryan. I’d forego the opportunity to make money in order to keep it safe for this goal.

—Dave

What term does he need?

Dear Dave, I’m 24 years old, and I have a wife and child. We’ve been following your plan, and I’m about to buy life insurance.

Should I get a 20- or 30-year term policy?

Derek Dear Derek, I think the big question is how long will you need this life insurance. If you and your wife are planning on having more kids in the next 10 years, I’d suggest a 30-year policy. That could put you in a situation of being 34 years old with a new baby. That’s not old by any means, but your wife will need 20 years’ worth of coverage if this happens, because you’d want the kids grown and out of the house before the insurance term runs out.

But that’s just one of your financial goals at this point. You also want to be debt-free. And you need to ask yourself some other questions. Are you going to have your house paid for 15 years from now? I sure hope you didn’t take out more than a 15-year mortgage. Are your kids going to be grown and gone by then? Are you going to have a

big pile of money in the bank by then? In other words, where are you going to be at the end of the term?

If 15 years from now you have $700,000 in your retirement account, your house is paid for, and the kids are out on their own, then, if you die, your wife will be fine, financially speaking. But at that time, if you still have kids in the house and your home isn’t paid off, then you’d probably need a 20year policy.

That’s how I would look at it. How much longer are you going to need life insurance?

A lighter take on a summer favorite Deep in the dog days of summer, one of the best ways to relax is to sit back and enjoy your favorite refreshing drink and a cooling snack. I won’t guess what your favorite summer drink might be, because there are so many to choose from. But I suspect that, at some time or other, many people will serve a bowl of guacamole and some chips.

Over the past few decades, the mashed-avocado dip called guacamole has become one of North America’s most popular dips. That’s a very recent rise in popularity, considering that its history dates back some five centuries to the Aztec civilization in Mexico.

But avocados themselves only began to make their way onto U.S. tables in any noticeable way around the 1950s; and even then, you would sometimes see the pear-shaped green fruit, a staple of Mexican cuisine, being strangely described as “Indian butter.” Today, many of us love to spread avocado on thickly - not just with chips, but also in salads, as featured ingredients or garnishes for appetizers and main dishes, and as sources of rich flavor and texture inside sandwiches.

Which leads to a dilemma, as it’s all too tempting to eat too much of that delicious, buttery-tasting ingredient.

Avocados are rich in fat, which provides almost three quarters of their total calories. Yes, those fat calories come mostly from heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, but they’re fat nonetheless, and smart eaters usually aim to limit their total daily fat intake to a third or fewer of total calories. So, ideally, a little guacamole should be made to go a long way.

Shelled edamame are a healthy and delicious addition to guacamole.

That’s one of the reasons behind the recipe I’d like to share with you today: my Edamame Guacamole. Even more of a newcomer to our tables, the steamed and usually chilled green soybeans known by their Japanese name, edamame, have become a widespread snack over the past decade or so. With their light flavor and the simple fun of popping them out of their pods, they have spread from sushi

restaurants to other, eclectic restaurant menus and through the refrigerated and freezer cases of well-stocked supermarkets to home tables.

Edamame are little nutritional powerhouses, packed with protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals. And just 29 percent of their calories come fat, most of which is the heart-healthy polyunsaturated or

monounsaturated kind.

Since edamame are so mildly flavored and virtually the same color as guacamole, it made sense to try including them to lighten up that dip. And I think the result will surprise you not only in how beautiful it looks but how fresh it tastes.

Add some tortilla chips that you ovenbake instead of fry, and you’ve got an indulgent-feeling late-summer snack that you could actually call healthy.

EDAMAME GUACAMOLE WITH OVEN-BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS OVEN-BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS: 12 corn tortillas, each 6 inches in diameter 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt (optional)

EDAMAME GUACAMOLE: 1 cup shelled edamame 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium-sized ripe Hass-style avocados 1 jalapeÒo chili, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined and coarsely chopped (optional) Salt Freshly ground black pepper Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Serves 10 to 12 First, make the Oven-Baked Tortilla Chips. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Meanwhile, lightly brush the tortillas on both sides with the olive oil and, if you like, lightly sprinkle with salt. Stack the tortillas and, with a sharp knife, cut them crosswise to make 6 wedges each.

Spread out the wedges on a baking sheet. Bake until crispy and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, and store in an airtight container until serving time.

For the guacamole, put the edamame, sour cream, lime juice and olive oil in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Pulse the machine on and off until the mixture is pureed, stopping once or twice as necessary to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula.

With a sharp knife, carefully cut the avocados lengthwise in half, cutting around the pit. Twist the

halves between your hands to separate them. With a sharp-edged tablespoon, scoop out and discard the pits.

With the tablespoon, scoop out the pulp from each avocado half into the processor bowl, discarding the peels. If you like, add the jalapeÒo. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Process until the mixture is smoothly blended, stopping once or twice to scrape down the bowl and, if necessary, adding a little more salt and pepper to taste.

Carefully remove the blade from the processor bowl. Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro. Place the bowl in the center of a platter and surround it with the tortilla chips. Serve immediately. (c) 2013 WOLFGANG PUCK WORLDWIDE, INC. DISTRIBUTED BY TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.
