Local villages continue to seek alternatives to lower area water rates By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Progress continues in the attempt for local villages to move away from its reliance on Illinois American Water and form its own water agency in efforts to bring down escalating water rates. Bolingbrook and the surrounding communities have been involved in a lengthy

battle with the company, incensed by what it calls IAWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unending rate increases. A complicated move by Bolingbrook and its neighbors continues as legislation is passed that allows the group to pursue a water agency that could push control of the water system out of the hands of IAW. For the past two years, the communities have See WATER, page 4

State Rep. McGuire says goodbye to government By Jonathan Samples Staff reporter

In a press release last Friday, State Rep. Jack McGuire bid farewell to his constituents in the 86th Representative District. “When I decided to seek reelection as state representative last summer, I had every intention of continuing that work to help put Illinois back on the right track,” McGuire said in the press release. “But while my head and my heart are telling me to keep up the fight, unfortunately my body is telling me otherwise.” An impromptu retirement party last Thursday was held in McGuire’s office and marked the end of the Joliet Democrat’s long career in the Illinois House. “We had a small gathering yesterday for his last day,” district office manager Colleen Prieboy said.“It was wonderful.” Prieboy said McGuire has been planning his retirement for the last couple of weeks, but waited until last week to let everyone know. Will County Executive Larry Walsh and Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante were just a few of the more than 100 people who came to see McGuire off. “I’ve known Jack a long, long time and I really respect what he’s done for the area,” Giarrante

said. “I was more than happy to go over and wish him good luck in his retirement.” McGuire, 78, has been in the Illinois House of Representatives since 1990. During his time there he has won several awards, including American Red Cross’ Legislator of the Year Award in 1991 and the Advocates United Legislator of the Year Award in 1997. “I have always considered my job a privilege, one that had to be earned every day,” McGuire

said in the pres release. “I take my responsibilities and the duties of my office very seriously. I have always enjoyed working with my constituents and doing everything I can to help them access state services, cut government red tape, and provide a voice for them in state government.” McGuire was out of town and not available for comment during time of publication. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Hearings to be held for electrical aggregation After approving a referendum last month, Will County set to hold two public hearings By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The next step in achieving cheaper electric rates begins with the first of two public hearings on the subject to be held on Monday, April 16. Last month,Will County voters chose to band together in what is the largest aggregate group to come together in Illinois to purchase electricity at a cheaper rate, and approved a referendum to allow communities to pursue such an option. However, there are still steps each municipality must go through before that savings will be realized, including adopting a

plan of operation and governance and then essentially going out for bid to solicit electrical supply. Following through with the next step, a joint public hearing will be held by the villages of Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont, and Downers Grove, at 7 p.m. on April 16 at Woodridge Village Hall, 5 Plaza Drive Woodridge. According to a public notice, under the opt-out program, the villages would procure competitive pricing on behalf of eligible accounts. Once an alternative power company is chosen by bid, all applicable accounts would be moved. However, individual customers

would have the option to opt out of the aggregation for whatever reason. The purpose of the hearings is to obtain input on this plan for residents and small businesses within of Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Woodridge, Lemont and Downers Grove. A copy of the proposed plan is available for review at the Village Hall of each community during regular business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Written and oral comments also will be accepted. Nearly 135,000 households stand to benefit from the passed referendum and there still remains the potential for others

to come on board. According to the Will County Government League, electrical aggregation allows local governments to bundle residential and small commercial retail electric accounts and seek bids for a cheaper supply of power. Currently, ComEd customers receive electricity at a price set each year by the Illinois Power Agency, a governmental body that secures electricity on the wholesale market on behalf of ComEd. By bundling residential and small commercial accounts, municipalities can go out into the open market to seek a lower rate for electrical supply. The sole purpose of electric

aggregation is to save residents money of the supply side of their electric bill. Savings may start to be seen as early as August. Residents have the opportunity to opt out of the program and will be notified in writing of their options. For those municipalities that passed the referendum, residents who do not opt-out of the program will be automatically enrolled. If a resident wants to participate, he or she does not have to do anything to join. Another public hearing will be held, at 6 p.m. on April 18, at 1050 Romeo Road, Romeoville,a for Romeoville residents. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Volunteers hitting the streets for 27th Annual Candy Days fyi By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The allure of the jelly bean doesn’t have to disappear with the Easter Bunny. Nor does the giving and peaceful sentiment of the season. Soon, you will see volunteers handing out Jelly Belly beans in thanks for a donation to Misericordia during the upcoming 27th annual Candy Days from sunrise to sunset on April 27 and April 28 throughout the area. Founded in 1921,Misericordia— which means “heart of mercy” in Latin—is a community of care for more than 600 children and adults with mild to profound developmental disabilities. They are persons of all races, religions and creeds and socio-economic backgrounds. Misericordia’s programs include residential placement and day-to-day support, employment opportunities, physical and speech therapy, social and recreational outings, health and fitness activities, and opportunities for spiritual growth. State funding only covers a portion of Misericordia’s needs to operate. This year, Misericordia must raise $14 million for program costs not covered by the government. In addition, Misericordia raises funds for construction projects in order to welcome some of the 500 individuals on its waiting list. To date, Misericordia has completed its seventh home in the

neighboring community and four additional homes on its campus in Chicago. The organization has started and with donations hopes to expand an outreach program for children with disabilities and their families. For volunteers like 91-year-old Chris Kutselas, Candy Days are an opportunity to give back to a place that made a world of difference for his daughter, who needed the services of Misericordia. Misericordia operates on a 31acre campus setting, offering a home for those that need it,offering opportunities while teaching skills for those with disabilities to live as independently as possible.Twenty percent of Misericordia’s residents either come from families living in poverty, or are without a family and are wards of the State. For Kutselas, the people at

Misericordia is looking for volunteers.To help, visit www.misericordia.org or call 773-273-2768. Misericordia are family and are why he has been volunteering for more than 25 years, and has become a champion coordinator for Candy Days. “This is a good cause—you have to visit this place and see what it is like and what they have built,” said Kutselas. “It’s my way of giving back for what they have given my family. It is a wonderful home.You have to see just how amazing they treat everyone.” In a time when state services are being cut, and services for the disabled are notoriously circumspect, Misericordia stands out as a leader in its services,

lending both compassion and physical support to all that need it, Kutselas explained. “Anyone that comes to Misericordia gets the care that they are suppose to get, and beyond,” said Kutselas. A couple of hours are all it takes to make a difference, say organizers. Thousands of volunteers are needed throughout Chicago and its suburbs to work on the streets and in storefronts collecting donations. “It is important to volunteer for Misericordia Candy Days because it is a win-win for everyone,” said Assistant Executive Director Lois

Gates.“The funds raised go directly to the programs to enhance quality life at Misericordia, home to over 600 children and adults with developmental disabilities. The person volunteering feels good knowing that they are making a significant difference and witnesses to the good people of Chicago and the suburbs that all children and adults have a right to life in a beautiful and loving environment.” For more information on the organization, how to help or to make a donation visit www. misericordia.org. You also can text “MIS” to 25383 to make a $5 donation. The Jesse Marymont and Lauren Rafferty Families will match 100 percent of all texted donations this year. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

HERO, HELPS to educate public, prevent overdoses By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

More people are expected to die from an accidental overdose than in a car accident. Drug overdoses have tripled since 1990. Meant to be an eye-opener for many, it is facts such as these that are the purpose of a daylong forum, Will County’s Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization and Heroin Education Leads to Preventative Solutions. The conference and community forum will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. tomorrow, April 13, at Lewis University’s JFK Sports Center. A youth rally will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the site. According to Paul Lauridsen, clinical director of Stepping Stone, a counseling service for those suffering with addiction, the forum is an outreach effort to deal with increasing heroin overdoses. In the past few years, the number of patients at Stepping Stone alone increased, with at least a third of its patients suffering from heroin addiction. Will County has witnessed a dramatic increase in heroin overdose deaths, rising from a few each year to approximately 30 annually for the past three years. In 2011, 28 Will County citizens died as the result of heroin overdose. The total for 2012 is already at 8. Deaths from all drug overdoses in Will County number around 57 annually. The goal of the forum, he says, is to bring parents, educators, atrisk youth, and law enforcement together, and learn the tools

“There is a shift in thinking—if they are not stopping using; they are not stopping dying—we need a different solution.” Paul Lauridsen, clinical director of Stepping Stone and knowledge needed to fight the epidemic from health care professionals. The forum is the brainchild of two groups meant to call attention to the issue. Will County executive Larry Walsh, joined by Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil, Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupas and Chief Judge Gerald Kinney, formed an organization called HELPS aimed at a full-scale public approach to battling the epidemic. Walsh was called to action after attending a rally last spring in Homer Glen. Two fathers, John Roberts and Brian Kirk, both of whom lost their sons to heroin overdoses in recent years, organized the rally. Both men spoke about the personal tragedies they experienced and urged local officials to take action to prevent more overdose deaths. Lauridsen explains there is a new philosophy on how to talk about heroin use, where rather than only focusing on the criminal aspect of using heroin, it becomes more important to talk about the prevention of its use as well as how to handle addiction. “There is a shift in thinking—if they are not stopping using; they

are not stopping dying—we need a different solution,” said Lauridsen. “We need to start looking at everyone’s role in this, from the doctors that treat then to the criminal justice department that decides their fate. Is there an alternative to incarceration? These are the types of conversations that we hope to start at the forum.” From keynote speakers like Dr. Jeff Coady, PsyD, from the substance abuse and mental health services administration, Will County Executive Larry Walsh, Judge Ray Nash, to addiction specialists and School Youth Directors a powerful collection of speeches and presentations are expected at the conference aiming to raise awareness. A memorial area will be provided for families and friends to remember their loved ones lost to a drug overdose with photos and messages. Several nationally touring bands will be performing at the Youth Rally from 6 to 8 p.m., where people will share their experiences related to the drug abuse crisis and honor friends they have lost to an overdose.

WATER Continued from page 1 been studying the feasibility of acquiring the Lake Michigan Water Pipeline from American Water Company, a subsidiary of Illinois American Water. The villages of Bolingbrook, Homer Glen, Woodridge, Romeoville and Lemont made an agreement late last year to establish a municipal joint action water agency “to provide adequate supplies of water on an economical and efficient basis for members’ municipalities.” According to Bolingbrook Village Attorney Jim Boan, the five communities gave IAWC an opportunity to offer a proposal regarding any type of rate freezes, a rollback, or stabilization for the communities that would warrant them to avert the formation of the agency. “There was no progress,” said Boan. “The group asked for them to address the local rate increase issue. Their solution was to say that they had filed a petition with the ICC to consolidate all of the Chicago Metro rate structures into a single tariff. The group indicated that that would not assist us locally with any rate relief.” Key to continuing the push to create its own water

system is whether or not the move would be cost effective. Because the feasibility study the group conducted was nearly two years old, the group decided to have the study updated to ensure costs would still be lower. According to Boan, the “study still indicates that the acquisition could pay for itself without a rate increase.” Boan said the group asked the consultants to formalize their figures and recommendations for a presentation to be made to the group in May. No May meeting date was set as of yet. Such a move in Romeoville would affect only a small number, some 24 industrial customers, and does not affect any residential customers within Romeoville. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Forum Guest Columnist

From the Desk of Rep. Jim Sacia How are things in Springfield, Jim? Are we moving in the right direction? If I had a quarter for each time I’ve been asked those questions, I’d have enough money to take Jenny out for a nice dinner. The answers are – good and absolutely. More than any time in my ten years in this office, I see such positive efforts to fix a very difficult situation. Last week I attempted to simplify the complexity of our $58 billion budget and the income we anticipate from you.The most important aspect of that column, it was not “pie in the sky.” Both the House of Representatives and our State Senate have agreed that the “line in the sand” is that all the available money coming into our state coffers from you the taxpayers is $33,719,000,000. This is Amendment 2 to House Resolution 706, and it is identical to House Joint Resolution (HJR) 69 which is concurred to by the Senate. Once again this year, and not surprising, the governor’s office is in opposition as they believe that more money will become available. The resolutions are also opposed by the Illinois Policy Institute (which surprises me), the Illinois Association of

Rehabilitation Facilities, Planned Parenthood and SEIU (Service Employees International Union) (which doesn’t surprise me). Many organizations expect to be fully funded no matter how much money is available. Many of you would like to obtain things, but if no money is available, you know you’ll have to tighten your belt for at least another year. I’ve arrived at the point I want to make –the house and senate will allocate no more money than $33,719,000,000. If more money comes in we can pay down past due bills (now approximately $8 billion).The real good news is for the first time in many years (at least ten), we stand to spend less than our income. Recently, walking into the Freeport Farm and Fleet, a gentleman I know well said to me, “Jim, you’ve got to quit writing nice things about Chicago Democrats, I’m starting to think you are going over to the other side.” I’m just very proud of how so many of us are coming, perhaps begrudgingly, to consensus. As the old saying goes, “it’s not over until the fat lady sings” on May 31st. It will be a tough two months but it must happen.

Liberty Elementary raises $47K to fight pediatric cancer Liberty Elementary School students, staff and families raised about $47,000 recently for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which raises money and awareness for pediatric cancer through participants having their heads shaved for donations. Their $47,000 donation was the 30th-highest in the nation. Six years ago, Liberty Elementary fourth-grade teacher Jeff Hall was inspired by two fifth-grade students to take part in the St. Baldrick’s head shaving event. A few of his students wanted to do the same. The next year, Hall gathered students together and Team Liberty was born. Hall raised about $600 the first year and the team started to grow. By 2012 Team Liberty

boasted 116 members and raised $47,000 for the charity. Every year Team Liberty promotes pediatric cancer awareness for one month. Students and parents sign up to raise money and shave their heads in solidarity with kids with cancer. Girls can also cut and donate their hair to make wigs for children who have lost their hair from chemotherapy. Team Liberty raises money several ways, including holding a Hats On Friday event every Friday for one month. Anyone can wear a hat in school for that day if they donate money to St. Baldrick’s. Team Liberty joined Bolingbrook 4 Kids in 2010. The group holds their shaving event at the Bolingbrook Golf Club.

BHS senior named Top Screenwriter Senior Monica Daugherty has been named Top Screenwriter for 2012 at Bolingbrook High School. Her short story “Toxic” earned her the honor over finalists freshman Shea Ihne and senior Justin Price. Seniors Jessica Thompson and Juan Vasquez were also nominated for the award.

Senior Kapri Taylor’s short story “The Great Glamis Hotel” was selected as the Best Horror Film Screenplay. The competition, which included 96 entries, was sponsored by Media Club in coordination with the advanced video production classes in the Career and Technical Education Department at BHS.

Schools Plainfield schools to keep First Student By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

First Student, District 202’s bus provider for the past 15 years, will continue to drive Plainfield area children to school through the 2014-15 year. School board members voted to continue the company’s district transportation contract, saying a lesser bid by competitor Illinois Central did not meet the requirements of the district. The Board of Education on Monday approved a three-year contract with First Student for regular and vocational education services that totaled $28.6 million. Septran, which provides bus service for special education students, also was approved for through the 2014-15 year at a cost of about $16 million. The First Student bid came in about $1.5 million higher than Illinois Central for regular services, and Illinois Central

also undercut the Septran bid for special education busing by about $300,000. However, officials cited a lack of experience on the part of Illinois Central’s management as the reason for rejecting the company’s bid. Requirements set forth by the district indicated that the transportation company bidding must have at least 10 years experience with larger school districts and transporting 10,000 students or more, which Illinois Central did not offer. State law requires that bids be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder for regular and vocational education transportation. Law allows for other considerations as well for special education transportation. District 202 drives about 20,000 regular education and 950 special education students to and from school each day. Should those numbers

remain steady, the accepted bids indicate a rise in cost of about $191,000 for transport next year. But district officials say that the actual increase is dependent upon state reimbursements, which have yet to be determined. The district is hoping for the state to reimburse 50 percent of its transportation cost, officials said. In recent years transportation reimbursements from the state have been both delayed and diminished.This has been a point for ongoing frustration for board members and school officials when trying to determine budgets. Consequently, the school district also began a new school schedule this year, which allowed for fewer buses and drivers. The move is expected to save the district more than $600,000 a year. First Student modified its service for that change in routing and schedule last fall.

Raiders looking to put it all together By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Early in the game against Downers Grove South, Bolingbrook coach Jean RyanMoak was worried about how bad the outcome would be.

SOFTBALL

Mark Gregory/Bugle staff

Bolingbrook’s Marissa Cinquepalmi had two RBI in a 9-5 loss to Downers South.

But, then the Raider bats woke up and she instead left after a 9-5 loss wondering how close it could have been. Offensively, Bolingbrook went down in order to start the game, all three on strikeouts. To make matters worse, shaky defense allowed the Mustangs to score a pair of first-inning runs. Dani Knaak had the only Bolingbrook hit through the first three innings and she drove in the first Raider run in the fourth, knocking in Ashley Deluca. “That was the one thing that was very positive was the way we hit,” said Ryan-Moak. “The first inning up at the plate we had three strike outs. As a coach, I was hoping it would not be a tell tale sign of what was to come as a coach. It was good that it wasn’t. We calmed down, let her come in to us and we exploded.”

Bolingbrook added two more runs in the fifth on a Marisa Cinquepalmi two RBI double and then tacked on two in the sixth on RBI from Niklki Wood and Elizabeth Berg. “We were making good contact,” said Cinquepalmi. “I have been seeing the ball well and I don’t want to jinx it. We had a few errors in a few innings and there are things we can fix in practice.” The defensive mistakes were what left Ryan-Moak scratching her head as she left Downers Grove South. For the game, the Raiders committed three errors in the field, had a pair of wild pitches in the opening inning and bobbled other seemingly routine plays. “The one thing we have to work on is our fielding,” RyanMoak said. “Since I have been here, Bolingbrook softball has always been known for the fielding, not so much our offense. If our defense had been there today with the offense we brought, this would have been a much closer game. “One person makes an error and we get down. They have to learn mentally to pick See RAIDERS, page 16

Raider sprinters turning heads Bolingbrook won the Homewood-Flossmoor Invite last Saturday, posting 117.14 points, beating out Barrington (81.64) and the host Vikings (76). Sprinters Kim Azie and Kymbriona Taylor paced the way for the Raiders, winning the 400-and800-meter relays. The duo led the 400 to time of 47.15 seconds and helped the 800 relay to a time of 1 minute, 44.96. Azie took first place in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.84 seconds and also won the 200 dash with a time of 24.90, while Taylor was second in the 100, running a 12.09 and was third in the 200 with a 25.62. Bolingbrook also won two field events, as Kayla Bell won the triple jump with a leap of 35 feet, 7 inches, and Carolyn Sulzen won the pole vault at 10-0.

Balance should treat Bolingbrook well Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

After a sweep of the SouthWest Suburban Conference track and field conference titles during the indoor season, Bolingbrook is looking to see how that translates to the outdoor season.

SWSC titles will be the same that will compete for the Raiders during the outdoor season. The individual varsity indoor conference champions were Xavier Perkins in the high jump) and Jordan Banks in the triple jump. Sophomore Parker Westphal won the triple jump at the freshman/sophomore level and will join Banks on the varsity level as the team heads outside. See BALANCE, page 16

mental aspect. Physical errors will happen, but you can’t let that eat at you mentally. We missed routine plays that we make time and time again.” Ryan-Moak was happy with the way the Raiders hit the ball

and hopes to put the two parts together soon. “We scored five runs against a good team and we kept coming at them,” she said. “That is something we can take away from this.”

The Raiders will open conference play this week, as they took on Joliet Central Wednesday. They will continue SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division games Friday as they host Lincoln-Way East at

Valentin in the pole vault. “In the pole vault, Victor Valentin and Ben Junkrowski are over 12 feet,” Pahl said. Outside of jumpers, Bolingbrook historically has good sprinters and this year will be no different, “Jacob Price has been running well and Nick Goodell has been running well in the sprints,” Pahl said.“Freshman Peyton Chapman has been running extremely well in the 400.” At the lower level SWSC indoor meet, the 1,600 relay team of Jerome Davis, Leland Anderson, Peyton Chapman, and Kokeith Perry set a new frosh-

soph school indoor record. Perry also won the 800, while Damaris Portis, Junkroski, Hall and Westphal teamed up in the 640 relay. “In the 800, Kokeith Perry has been running well, he is one of the best sophomores in the state,” Pahl said. “Jerome Davis is another sophomore running well. We have a lot of seniors and sophomores this year, that seems to be the theme to this year’s team.” Senior Stephen Garrett will lead the Raider distance team and will look to get to state in the 1,600 run. Garrett advanced to state in

cross country, but an injury in warm-ups kept him from competing on the big stage. “I am really hoping to do good in the mile, I have been upping my training so I can get downstate and get on the podium and feel better about this whole senior year of running,” Garrett said. He will be joined in the distance events by sophomore Tim Pape who won the freshman/sophomore title in the 3,200. “The kids are performing well,” Pahl said. “We are hoping to use the indoor season as a springboard.” Not only are the athletes

performing well, but there are more of them this season. “Things go in cycles,” Pahl said. “Our numbers were down for the last few years and they are up this year.” Garrett knows the better the numbers, the more talent at every position on the team. “I think we are more of a complete team this year,” he said. “Our throws have improved drastically and we this year everyone is pulling their weight. We are going to take a shot at a conference title and maybe even the sectional as a team. A clean sweep would be great.”

Bison may be headed to Wilmington By Dan Stefanich

Could be in Will County,Illinois in the near future. Officials recently announced a plan that includes the introduction of a herd of bison to the Midewin Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington. The initial herd could include up to 75 bison managed on 1,000 acres. But they could expand the area and the size of the herd over time. Most of the Midewin property is comprised of open prairie, grassland, savannah and some timber along several creeks — perfect habitat for bison. According to the plan, they will be completely fenced in for public safety. Eventually there may be observation platforms and a 12-mile tram where the public can come safely view the bison. The plan could take up to 5 years before it comes to fruition. Located about 40 miles south of Chicago, Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie has over 20,000 acres with 7,200 acres and 22 miles of trails open to the public for hiking, biking, horseback riding and hunting. The property is also rich in history. It was formerly home to the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant that produced TNT and various munitions during WWII, the Korean War, and Vietnam Conflicts and at one time employed 12,000 people.Certain areas have trails where visitors can actually walk inside the bunkers where the ammunition was once stored. Midewin is actually part of the Federallymanaged National Forest System, and was the very first official

National Tallgrass Prairies to be established in the country. The master plan has always been to restore the property to it’s native state of open grasslands and prairie. What better way to restore a natural prairie than with bison — a majestic symbol of the Great American Prairies.

Spring Turkey Season is Here . . . AT LAST The 2012 Illinois turkey season opens this weekend starting with the Youth Turkey Season, April 7th and 8th.

Mushrooms are Poppin’ Early Due to a mild winter, morels started growing about three weeks early this year. The little greys have been up for about a week now, and the yellows won’t be far behind. Get out and start looking NOW, or all you may find are litte cut stumps (where a morel USED to be)!

Bison may soon be grazing at Midewin Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.

Links Report It was a typical Easter Sunday at the Masters. You could cut the tension with a knife as several players had a crack at the green jacket. The best part of it all was that in the end, the tournament was won, not lost, just like the past few years. Bubba Watson needed four straight birdies on the back nine to force a playoff and from there used an incredible hook shot off the pine needles to win the tournament on the second playoff hole. And it wasn’t like Luis Oosthuizen gave it to him. He had a double eagle on the second hole to take a two-shot lead and made his only bogies of the day shortly after. He made clutch putt after clutch putt on the back nine to stay in the lead. There were other charges throughout the day as Matt Kuchar and Lee Westwood missed some short putts and Phil Mickelson had a disastrous six on the par-3 fourth hole that he couldn’t recover from. In the end it was great theatre for the fourth straight year and continues to live up to my billing (and many others) as the greatest tournament of the year. It was great to see Bubba break through and win his first major of his career and get the monkey off his back as so many others are still looking for their first. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Poor sleep, snoring may indicate sleep apnea We spend a third of our life sleeping but how much do we really know about it? You know if you slept well or slept poorly. You may recall your dreams. However, you can relate very little of a night’s sleep. You can vividly tell your doctor about specific pains, concerns, maladies, and troubles that inhabit your wake time hours but the best you can relate about sleep is the indirect effects it has on wakefulness. If you wake up feeling tired and your energy level is low, or if you have frequent daytime drowsiness you can presume that you have a sleep problem. Unfortunately you probably have no insight into the problem or its causes. Your family and intimates are much more likely to know of your problem than you are. In fact, they are often aware of an obvious problem to which you are clueless at best, and deny at worst. Do you snore? Does your spouse or partner tell you that you snore?

S l e e p Medicine as a medical discipline was established in the late 1970’s. It has become increasingly important in routine medical care over the past twenty years. Over several occasional articles I will discuss some of the current sleep issues. Of these issues, sleep apnea is probably the best known. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has two major types. The first type is caused by abnormalities in the brain stem that control sleep and breathing. The second type is caused by factors in the nose and throat that cut off the air supply while sleeping. The second type is more common and is usually referred to as OSA. Twenty six percent of the adult population is thought to be at high risk for

OSA. It increases in frequency through your 20’s to your 50’s and then tends to level off after age 65. There is a racial preference for African-Americans over Whites and Asians whose risks are similar. OSA is twice as common in males than in females. Two other common risk factors are obesity and airway anatomy. Tobacco use increases your risk three-fold. Sleep apnea occurs when breathing in while sleeping causes negative pressures in the upper airway. The negative pressure results in a collapse of the surrounding soft tissues. The airway closes and air can’t get in. If the collapse is incomplete, some air gets by. The tissues vibrate and snoring occurs. Snoring is the best-known symptom of OSA but it is not the only one. If no air gets by, you stop breathing and apnea occurs. Particularly severe apnea episodes will cause a person to awaken abruptly with a sense of

Teen acne, like the worst thing ever QUESTION: Hey Sondra, my 14-year-old daughter is having a problem with acne.The more products we try, her acne seems to get worse. She seems to be getting very withdrawn because of it. Do you have any suggestions on helping get her acne under control?

ANSWER: Unfortunately, most of us have gone through those dreadful teenage years where a bad breakout of pimples would create a negative self-image. You must remind your daughter this is only temporary, and with the right skin care regimen, her acne should be manageable. Luckily, today there is more of an understanding of what causes acne, and techniques to fight acne, through prevention and good skin care. The first line of defense in fighting acne is to understand exactly how pimples are formed. Deep inside your skin are hair follicles. Inside each follicle is an oil gland, which produces sebum. Should this follicle become clogged a pimple is formed. Stress is the number one cause of acne, followed by hormones, improper diet and drying out

your skin from dehydration and the use of harsh products on the face. These causes don’t actually cause the pimple, but facilitate the oil gland to create more sebum. Creating a better chance for the follicle to become clogged thus creating a pimple. A good skin care regimen is a must in getting rid of acne. A gentle acne-formulated soap should be used to wash the face both morning and night, followed by a light acne-formulated moisturizer. Make sure to use lukewarm water, and gently pat the skin dry. Every morning after the moisturizer is applied, make sure to apply an SPF of 15 or higher. It’s important to exfoliate the face at least twice a week after cleansing. This is important to all skin types. What exfoliating does is to slough off dead skin cells, preventing the follicles from becoming clogged. An inexpensive and effective way to do this is by using a baking soda exfoliate. Simply mix baking soda and water into a paste, gentle massage the mixture in

a circular motion on the face. Rinse thoroughly. Follow by a skin-calming mask. There are two masks great for acne prone skin. The first, being whipped egg whites, with a dash of lemon juice. Do not use if you’re allergic to eggs. Simply apply to face with a cotton ball, leave on for 10 minutes, rinse and pat dry, and proceed with moisturizer. If you’re allergic to eggs, or simply find it to messy, a store bought clay mask can be used. A healthy diet has a lot to do with keeping the skin in good shape. Vitamins C, E and omega 3’s are important to skin health. Eating plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts will naturally supply the skin with these nutrients. Adding a daily supplement of Cod Liver oil has been known to get rid of acne. Drinking lots of water will prevent the skin from becoming dehydrated. Avoid foods containing sugar and white flour, fried foods and carbonated drinks. Here are some other important tips in preventing acne. Don’t touch your face; fingertips have a lot of bacteria on them, which can cause a follicle to become clogged. Wipe cell phones off See ACNE, page 21

choking, gasping for air, or a sense of asphyxiation. This is because the person is actually choking. This always and obviously results in disturbed sleep. Most of the other symptoms of OSA relate to poor sleep: fatigue, daytime drowsiness, poor concentration etc. The diagnosis of OSA can be made by a sleep study. While you are sleeping, a small monitor on the finger or earlobe measures continuous oxygen levels. Other monitors check for air movement and obstruction. A diagnosis of, as well as the specific type of OSA can usually be made by this technique. However, it can only be done while you are sleeping. The test is usually done in a sleep lab but simpler home monitoring kits have also been developed. The usual treatment for OSA is some form of positive pressure being administered to the upper airway to hold it open. A facial mask with flowing oxygen is the typical mechanism. Newer apparatus

are much less obtrusive and can occasionally be limited to the nose instead of the nose and mouth.

Doctor’s Rx: If your spouse or partner has moved to another bedroom because of snoring, or if you awaken with a sensation of choking or similar symptoms, please be professionally evaluated. At the minimum, stop smoking and lose excess weight. Not only will you feel better, be more alert, and have more energy, you will greatly decrease your risk of death. Sleep apnea increases your all-cause risk of mortality by three to six-fold and should be taken very seriously. Dr. Christopher Rose, M.D. is a physician and author based in Niles, Illinois.

Is there a fast track to success? Q. I’ve been working in my field for about 10 years and am frustrated at my slow progress. I keep reading in books and magazines about clever people who leaped over obstacles on a fast track to success. Is there a secret to getting to the top quickly? A. No, the business myth that a journey of a thousand steps starts with one grand, brilliant leap forward is just not true. The truth is that overnight success take years of time and patience. Of course, the promise of overnight success sells countless books and makes certain speakers very popular on the business lecture circuit. Anyone who wants to appear magical, superhuman and limitless can skip over the “hard work, time consuming” part of their success and brag they zoomed to the top. The trouble isn’t that people will lie about the reality of how they arrived at their achievement. The trouble is other people want to believe the lie so badly that they

accept these fairy tales about success. What I see in my executive coaching practice is that new clients have often been profoundly demoralized by hearing these false tales of accomplishment. My clients compare themselves with these tall tales and just give up. So let me say this once and very clearly: Success takes hard work, tough tradeoffs and a long time to achieve. If you really want to achieve a goal at work, you must know what you want (specifically), you must know the price to obtain it, and you must be willing to pay the price. There is no magical shortcut to success, no matter how many false stories you might hear. Once you accept that even talented, smart and inspired human beings have to put

their pants on one leg at a time, you can put a realistic map together for your dream. Start out by using what I call the “mosquito strategy” for success. Consider the smallest step you can take and be willing to start there. If you want to write the great American novel, take a writing class or write for your neighborhood newsletter. If you want to be a CEO, volunteer to lead a community group with a cause you support. If you want to start your own business, pay the people who are most respected in your field an hourly fee to give you advice. None of these “mosquito” steps will bring you overnight achievement, but they all will lay the ground work for you to plan an effective campaign to get from where you are to where you want to be. The ironic secret about success is that people who get realistic, are willing to do the hard work, and think smaller (not grander) are more likely

achieve some version of their dreams. There is a personal tragedy for people who stall out in the workplace just because they believed some blowhard who wanted to look impressive at the expense of the truth.

The last word(s) Q. Is there one top tip you teach your clients to make them successful at work? A. Yes, learn to behave well when you feel badly.
