TOWNSHIP TO HOST FAMILY FUN FEST Annual Family Fun Fest includes face painting, portable climbing wall, live music and fun for the entire family By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The DuPage Township is reaching out to families, offering a little fun and support, and lining up a variety of events for its residents. The annual Family Fun Fest will be held from 12 to 4 p.m. July 29 at the Township Center, 241 Canterbury Lane. The event is free and is open to all residents in DuPage Township. Kids activities such as face painting, games, a portable climbing wall, two clowns, dunk tank and much more will all be part of the fest. According to Youth Services Director Anthony Morelli, this year’s event was able to be “super-sized,” thanks to the support of sponsors such as the VFW, who is coordinating its motorcycle event with the fun fest. In addition, live music by Rumor Hazit

will be performed and beer and wine will be available for purchase for those who are over the age of 21. The township is also gearing up for its major giveaway. In its last big event of the summer, it will host the Tools for School event at the end of August, which keeps growing every year. Last year more than 600 kids in the area were able to sport a new backpack filled with school supplies thanks to the efforts of the DuPage Township Youth Service Department. Morelli, said this year, this event will be “super-sized” as well. Thanks to local sponsors, the township will add free haircuts courtesy of Paul Mitchell School in Chicago, free health screenings courtesy of Bolingbrook Adventist Hospital, and free See FUN FEST, page 5

Village continues path to electrical aggregation By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The move to cheaper electric rates is close, but officials warn residents that a deal has yet to be confirmed, despite companies trying to solicit customers. Garnering cheaper electric rates is one step closer as the village of Bolingbrook continues the path to electrical aggregation. In March, voters chose to band together in what is the largest aggregate group to come together in Illinois to purchase electricity at a cheaper rate. A referendum to allow communities to pursue such an option was approved. Each of the 15 communities has to complete various steps before that savings will be realized, including holding two public hearings. Bolingbrook held those hearings on April 16 and May 8. The village has also just adopted a plan of operation and governance, and is now going out for bid to solicit electrical supply. DaCott Energy has been retained by the Will County Government League to conduct the process of bidding the electricity needs of the group and analyzing the bid results. Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar explained that once an alternative power company is chosen by bid, all applicable accounts would be moved. The process is automatic, and residents are not required to do anything. However, individual customers will have the option to opt-out of the aggregation for whatever reason and will be given information on how to do

so before any changes occur. 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, electric 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. lkatauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Quinn ends legislative scholarship program By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

After more than three years in discussion, a controversial scholarship program has been abolished in Illinois. Last week, Gov. Pat Quinn signed a law dismantling the long-time General Assembly Scholarship Program, which had allowed elected state officials to annually waive tuition and fees at state universities to eight students within in their district. Designed with the intent of giving needy and deserving constituents an opportunity to attend college, the program had become marred by ongoing reports of abuse. Allegations that some politicians had been granting the scholarships to the sons and daughters of friends, family and campaign donors had come to light. Over the past several years, members of the Illinois General Assembly have begun voluntarily opting out of

the scholarship program. The Illinois House has been supportive of the bill, and Quinn has tried to make it law since the beginning of his term in 2009. “Because of the abuses of some lawmakers, the program became tainted,” Rep. Tom Cross said. “Over the last couple of years, the Illinois House has voted to eliminate the program. Finally, the bill has made it through the Senate and onto the Governor’s desk for signature.” Recipients already nominated for the 2012-13 school year still will be awarded their scholarships, but House Bill 3810 provides that members of the General Assembly may no longer grant such awards after Sept. 1. The cost of higher education has risen dramatically over the past two decades. In Illinois, the cost of attending a public university has in some cases tripled since 1992. Because of rising costs, student loan debt has risen dramatically.

During the 2010-11 school year, the scholarship program cost 11 of 12 public state universities an aggregated $13.4 million in waived tuition fees, monies for which the schools are never reimbursed. Those costs are often passed onto paying students, driving the cost of a college education even higher. “There is no place for political scholarships in Illinois,” Quinn said as he signed the new bill into law. “I believe in the power of education, the importance of ethics and integrity, and the idea that you can get ahead in life with a little hard work.” HB 3810 also creates a task force to review all tuition and fee waivers offered by state universities, ensuring that taxpayer dollars funding these public institutions are being spent appropriately and helping those of merit in financial need. The task force must report its findings on or before April 15, 2013.

Boughton Road construction project comes to a close By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The end is in sight. Construction to remedy the bulging of a section of Boughton Road is set to finish by the week’s end. According to Public Works Director Mike Drey, the last layer of asphalt will be completed along with the striping of the lanes—the final process that will end the project that began in June and stretched for two miles along Boughton Road.

road from Sunshine Drive to Schmidt Road. To be able to provide power to the village, ComEd was allowed to place junction boxes, about 8 feet tall, 20 feet wide and 20 feet deep, along a section of Boughton Road nearly a decade ago. At these sections of road where the boxes were placed, water seeped into the area due to extreme changes in weather and the road would buckle in the eastbound lane.

“Traffic flow is fine and the project should be done by the end of the week,” Drey said. The village had hoped to complete the project in the fall of last year, however, long delays with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the contractor pushed back the start date. The portion of Boughton Road was laden with buckling pavement in effect caused by Commonwealth Edison years ago, which required a complete overhaul of the section of the

The township welcomes individuals, businesses, churches, non-for-profits and organizations to help by donating finances, supplies and their time. Morelli reminds potential participants of the program that they do need to meet certain requirements to be eligible. To register, contact the DuPage Township at 630-759-1317 or visit www.DuPageTownship. com.

Organizations or companies that would like to make a donation can drop supplies off at 241 Canterbury Lane, Bolingbrook. The DuPage Township Youth Service Department was established to support and provide youth services to its residents. Its goal is to provide and expose the youth to programs that are fun, offer prevention services, safety awareness and build self-esteem and self-confidence.

Man arrested for Bolingbrook shooting By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Bolingbrook Police arrested a man involved in a shooting Friday evening in the area of Lot J on Beaconridge Drive. According to Lt. Mike Rompa, police responded to the area after a report of shots being fired and a person seen on the ground with several on top of him. Rompa said as police units began to arrive an officer observed an individual running northbound on Route 53. At Route 53 and Beaconridge Drive, the officer stopped the man, later identified as Guadalupe Galvin. A .25

caliber handgun was found in his possession. Galvin was taken into custody at that time and charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm, unlawful use of a weapon and no firearm owners identification card.

VVSD personnel get ready for 2012-13 school year By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

With the school year set to start in nearly a month, the Valley View School District 365U is lining up its personnel. The district is near its completion of the Reduction in Force (RIF) process, resulting in the majority of its teachers and aids being recalled. However, 38 individuals did not receive a recall. According to Executive Director for Human Resources Sharon Hawks, the certified process has been complete, with all but five teachers being recalled. Within the classified personnel, 33 aides were not

called back. Hawks said all individuals that were not called back will have the opportunity to be called back if a position opens within the year and will be called back in the order of seniority. The board also approved other new changes in personnel positions within the district. Kathleen Nigro was named assistant principal at R. C. Hill Elementary School in Romeoville. Nigro, comes from B.J. Ward Elementary School in Bolingbrook,where she was a first grade teacher. She has worked in various roles throughout the district since 2002. Nigro holds a bachelor degree in elementary

education from Elmhurst College and a master of education degree in administration and leadership from Benedictine University. She is taking over the position left by Robert Halverson who pursued another position outside the district. Laura Lucas will take on the role of assistant principal at Irene King Elementary in Romeoville. She has served the district in various roles since 2003-2004, the last as a reading specialist at Irene King. She holds a bachelor degree in education from Northern Illinois University, a master degree in reading and literacy with an English language learner endorsement from

Benedictine University, and a master degree in educational leadership from the American College of Education. She succeeds Jeremy Majeski who left to take a position in another school district. “I look forward to serving the families of the community and am very proud to be given the position,” said Lucas. Kristin Soprych was named the new student services administrator for the Valley View School District’s Secondary Transition Experience Program. She has served the district since 2008 serving as Brooks Middle School Student Services Resource Team Leader and has

prior experience as a seventh grade learning specialist and a special education teacher. The STEP program, housed in the southeastern portion of the Brooks Middle School building, is designed to assist selected 18-to21 year-olds with their transition from high school to life on their own. In addition, the school district continues to be in contract negotiations with the teacher’s union. According to School Board President Steve Quigley a meeting has been scheduled to review the contract which he believes will be settled shortly. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

BHS student volunteers help make summer fun for kids Summertime means fun time for nearly 120 elementary school students enrolled in DuPage Township’s Summer Bridge Program at Bulldog Park in Bolingbrook. Summer Bridge,designed to keep children fit and moving during summer break, was launched last year through a partnership that included Bolingbrook resident Toni Greathouse, DuPage Township’s Youth Director Anthony Morelli, and Chris Martner of the Bolingbrook Park District. This year, the Township has taken the lead. “Our goal is to get the kids away from video games, off the couch and outside,” said DuPage Township Youth Director Anthony Morelli. “Plus, we have such a

diverse community that this is a great way to get them together to play and socialize and become friends.” Jackie Smith, the Township’s summertime assistant to the youth director, is back for a second year as Summer Bridge on-site coordinator, while fellow Bolingbrook High School grad Kristina Parro is assisting. Also on hand are 42 BHS National Honor Society members who are volunteering their time to work with the children. “They are the best,” Smith said. “They’re out here interacting with the kids, playing with them as opposed to supervising them. They’re really helpful. We’re thankful for them.” Summer Bridge meets for two

hours three days a week. “Although we still start the day with some calisthenics, we took out most of the jumping jacks per

se from last year and incorporated more play games like dodge ball,” Morelli said. “That’s the best way to keep their enthusiasm. If you

make it too much like a class, it tends to not be as fun for them.” See VOLUNTEER, page 10

If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be able to do this.” Morelli added that Linda Youngs, assistant to the supervisor,has been invaluable in helping the program to succeed.

Happiness is a warm puppy. Like that cute pup, your exuberance can get you into trouble once in awhile. In the week ahead, remember to be extra considerate of others. Endear yourself; lick a few faces.

Learn to listen. Opportunity could knock on your door very gently and unless you are listening, you might miss it. This week you can make headway in achieving your dreams if you pay close attention.,

Jeepers, creepers, someone wants to know where you got those peepers. You may receive extra attention from admirers in the week ahead. It could be due to beneficial Venus and Jupiter in your sign.

Sensitive Cancers always look forward to the new moon. This week, you can look forward to a new moon in your sign - which gives you a chance to reset your intentions and follow new visions.

Wisdom gives you a wink. In the first half of week ahead, it is best to remain open to receiving guidance and advice from others. In tense situations, your generous and forgiving attitude puts others at ease.

Multitasking makes you merry. According to Horace Walpole, “The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.” This week you can enjoy that secret.

To err is human, to forgive divine. In the coming week, there could be collisions and cross currents that set tempers on edge. You are capable of displaying a kindhearted attitude of “forgive and forget.”

Play nice, children. This week, rivalries could be pushed into the spotlight. Your foresight and fairness will protect you from getting caught up in a campaign to choose sides.

Sincerity smoothes out the rough spots. A genuine belief in the goodness of your fellow humans will serve to compel others to treat you fairly. No one is willing to disappoint you in the week to come.

There is no clear winner in an argument. In the week ahead, even if you win a debate, you could lose ground by participating in a polarizing situation. Concentrate on maintaining harmony.

That “do unto others” catchphrase always works in a crisis. During the first half of the upcoming week, you will find others who will support your aims and who can offer sound and timely advice.

Dream about tomorrow, but live for today. You have the stars in your corner this week whenever you try to give substance to thoughts. Grab ideas out of thin air; make something concrete from them.

Stevens MVP as South wins MCL All-Star game By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Although nothing can erase the 8-6 sectional final loss to Gordon Tech in the IHSA Class 2A playoffs, Bolingbrook resident and Walther Lutheran graduate Chris Stevens at least earned a big win on the same field Wednesday.

BASEBALL Stevens, now playing for the Southland Vikings, went 2-for4 with an RBI, stolen base and a run scored and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player as his South team defeated the North 3-2 in the Midwest Collegiate League All-Star game. “The last time I played on this field, we lost the sectional championship,” said Stevens,

who will attend Alcorn State University in Mississippi next year. Stevens is a rarity in the MCL, as he has yet to play a game of college baseball, making his AllStar selection more special. “It was a good day, a very fun atmosphere,” Stevens said. “I am proud to be an All-Star, especially coming straight from high school. I love baseball and I knew I would have to up my game.” There is not much higher his game can go from high school, where he hit .462 with 42 hits in 91 at-bats as a senior. He recorded five doubles, three triples and five home runs and batted in 35 runs, while striking out only seven times. Stevens ended the season with a .562 See ALL-STAR, page14

ALL-STAR Continued from page 13 on-base percentage and stole 21 bases. Stevens’ offense propelled Will County CrackerJacks’ Right-hander Ben Gullo, who started the game for the South, to earn the victory by tossing a perfect opening inning with one strikeout. The save went to Mike Hamilton of the Illinois Lincolns, as he struck out the final batter of the game, coming in relief with two outs and the tying run on third. “I am used to starting, so I felt a little pressure out there,” Hamilton.“There is a lot of good competition in this league, its good. I just have to keep an aggressive attitude out there.” Winning is nothing new for the former Lockport lefty, as Hamilton was the leader in innings pitched for the National Champion Joliet Junior College team this spring. “You have to keep the momentum,” Hamilton said. “I didn’t finish the year at Joliet as good as I had started it, but I really bounced back once the season started and I have been consistent.” Lincolns’ pitcher Lee Weld followed the starter Gullo and got tagged for a run, allowing one hit and a walk, but striking out a pair. Brandon Duplessis, a Lockport graduate, allowed a hit and a walk but no runs in his inning of work representing the Southland Vikings. Will County righty Matt Borens worked a perfect inning in the sixth, striking out a pair, while Lincolns’ hurler Sam Welvaert got the first two outs in order in the top of the eighth. At the plate, locals had a hand in six of the nine South hits. Other than Stevens pair of singles, Lincolns catcher Zack Yesko was 2-for-2, Kenny Mahala of the Lincolns was 1-for-3 and Illinois right fielder Chris Hipchen was also 1-for-3. CrackerJacks Mitch Elliot, Michael Vilardo and Daniel Nevares played but did not get a hit, but Elliott did earn a walk and stole a base. Defensively, Nevares played all nine innings for the South All-Stars at shortstop. “Making an All-Star game is an honor no matter where you are or what league you are in,” Elliot said. “It is nice to have a game

that doesn’t mean anything, but you still want to win. We are competitive and you never want to lose.” Although the game was for fun, CrackerJacks manager Vern Hasty, who skippered the South team, was happy to get the win. “We told them before it started that would be nice to win,” Hasty said.“But more important, we wanted to get everyone in the game and with Mike closing out that last out of the game, he was our last guy on the bench, so we were successful. “This was a heck of a game. There was some great talent out there. I would have liked to have been in the stands watching this one. There were some hard hit balls and some good plays made out there.” In only its second year, the MCL is showing the talent level. “This is a quality league and it

Sports is only going to get better,” Hasty said. “There were some good players last year, but this year is head and shoulders above last year. It has really grown by leaps and bounds. I can only imagine what it will be next year and the year after that because I know it will only get better.”

SLAMMERS The Slammers had three representatives in the 2012 Frontier League All-Star game and the West lost the game 9-6. Starter Abel Nieves played left field and went 1-for-3, while Hector Pellot came off the bench to play shortstop and went 0-2. Right hander Amalio Diaz pitched a scoreless ninth inning, walking one and struck out one. mark@buglenewspapers.com

Defending champions new territory for Raiders By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Bolingbrook and Jaden Huff hope to run away from Plainfield South in the season-opener again this year.

For the first time ever, the Bolingbrook Raider football team will take the field opening weekend as the defending Class 8A state champions. The first test for the Raiders will be home for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff with Plainfield South. The two teams first played each other last year as the Raiders opened their season with a 4016 win over the Cougars. Week two will renew an old rivalry for Bolingbrook as the Raiders travel across Valley View School District and face in-district rival Romeoville. It is the first time the two have faced each other since the 2004 season when both teams were members of the SICA Gray. Bolingbrook won that final meeting 41-20 over the Spartans. If fact, the last win for Romeoville over Bolingbrook was a 21-15 victory in 2002. After facing Romeoville, the Raiders head play their first of back-to-back Joliet teams on Saturdays. The trips open with a 1 p.m. kick off Sept. 8 at Joliet Central, while the Raiders travel to Joliet West for a 12:30 p.m. game Sept.

15. The Joliet schools didn’t provide much of a test for the Raiders last year, as they defeated Central 60-6 and West 49-12 Possibly the toughest stretch of games for Bolingbrook opens when they host HomewoodFlossmoor for a 7:30 p.m. match-up Sept. 21, that game is followed by an away game at Lincoln-Way East at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 28. East was the lone loss for Bolingbrook last year. H-F gave the Raiders a quality game early last year, but Bolingbrook came out on top 41-28. The game was followed last

year by the Lincoln-Way East game, which the Griffins won 20-14. The Raiders then face Sandburg (7:30 p.m. Oct. 5) and Lincoln-Way Central (7:30 p.m., Oct. 12) at home before closing out the regular season at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 19 at Lockport. Bolingbrook hopes that, like last season, the final stretch is a tune up for the post season. Last year, Bolingbrook defeated Sandburg 27-3 and beat Lockport 42-17. The Raiders earned their lone shutout of the year with a 45-0 win over Lincoln-Way Central. mark@buglenewspapers.com

Pastrana to highlight weekend of racing By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

The world’s best-known action sports athlete - Travis Pastrana will put his driving skills to the test in a Traxxas TORC Series, presented by AMSOIL, short course off-road truck when TORC stops at Route 66 Raceway, July 19-20. He is also driving in the NASCAR Nationwide race Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. “It really is exciting,” said Speedway President Scott Paddock. “Here is a guy who has conquered just about everything you can conquer in the action sports world and now he is looking for his next challenge and he has decided to make NASCAR stock car racing that challenge and we are excited to welcome him out here for both. “With Danica Patrick, Travis and Kyle Busch all driving Sunday in the Nationwide race, it gives us a lot of star power. Danica bringing in females and Travis is bringing in the action sports fans, which tend to be a younger demographic. Pastrana is a highly decorated amateur motocross champion, 125cc AMA Motocross and Supercross champion, eleventime X Games gold medalist, fourtime Rally America champion and World Rally Championship (WRC) competitor, NASCAR Nationwide Series driver and USHRA Monster Truck driver. Pastrana’s “Nitro Circus The Movie 3D” will be released nationwide on August 8. “Travis’ resume is second-tonone in American motorsports history in terms of diversity at the

opening ceremonies begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for kids 12 and under. Saturday will feature the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and Sunday will have the Nationwide race on a rare offweekend for the Cup series. Tickets for Saturday can be purchased for as little as $25 and Sunday for as little as $30, will all children 12 and under free. A purchase of a ticket for either NASCAR race also gets you into the Traxxas race for free. As always, parking at Chicagoland Speedway is free and coolers are allowed in the grandstands for Saturday and Sunday races. “We really are proud of the fact that we can provide affordable family entertainment,” Paddock said.

There are two burning questions heading into this year’s British Open. The first is if Tiger Woods will win his first major title since 2008. The second question is if there will be a first time major champion for the 16th straight major. To answer the two questions together, my thought is that if it is a repeat champion, it will be Tiger. He has had a strong year in general and has had success on a links course in the past. The way he is striking the ball makes him hard to beat. The only question with him is if he can make enough putts.With all of the talk about his sing in the past couple years, his putter has been his biggest downfall consistently, which makes sense since it was the underrated part of his game back when he was dominant. With the way the greens tend to be at the Open, Tiger will have a good chance of knocking in some putts and I fully expect him to be in contention come Sunday. As for the possibility of first time major winners, there are tons who are candidates. All of the big time U.S. players have to be thought of,, such as Hunter Mahan and Dustin Johnson. However, you can’t forget about Lee Westwood or Luke Donald, either.Then there is the surprise finisher from the European Tour who comes out of nowhere to content.

highest levels of competition. His transition to a TORC Series PRO 2WD truck in Chicago next week will be seamless - tailor-made for his motocross and rally racing skills,” said Kevin Miller, President of TORC/USAC. Pastrana will drive a Menzies Racing Red Bull/Ram/Mopar/ KMC Wheels TORC PRO 2 truck for the first time in his career and though the 900-horsepower, 4,000 pound off-road behemoth is a bit beyond what Pastrana’s raced in the past, his Menzie’s Racing teammate and motocross kindred spirit Ricky Johnson is equally confident that the former motocross champ will have no problem adjusting to TORC’s mash-‘em-up short course racing action. “Anyone that’s won an overall national motocross title knows what it’s like to bang bar-to-bar

from one end of a track to the other.Travis is no stranger to that,” said Johnson.“Add to that the fact he’s an accomplished rally car racer, along with the advantage of a Menzies Racing-built PRO 2 truck, and Travis will be a strong contender for a podium spot next week in Chicago.” There will be two nights of racing action under the lights at Route 66 Raceway’s dirt oval feature four PRO classes (three truck, one buggy) in the fastest, most punishing short course truck racing series on the planet. TORC features legendary off-road heavyweights in defending TORC PRO 4x4 class champion and fivetime AMA Motocross champion Ricky Johnson battling former class champion Johnny Greaves from nearby Green Bay, Wisc.

Want leverage? Stop asking ‘Pretty please’ Q. I find that I often ask repeatedly for things in the workplace without results. I follow your advice about being specific and behavioral, but it doesn’t help. What am I missing? A. What you are missing is ... leverage. You are ahead of most people on being effective because you know you have to be specific and list behavior. However, without using solid leverage, what you say will go in one ear and out the other with your coworkers. Leverage is making sure you always tie what you are asking for to something your coworker wants to happen or wants to avoid. Otherwise, people you work with have zero investment in doing what you want. Some of my clients get huffy about having to use other

people’s agendas to motivate and influence. They think people should help them because it is the right or responsible thing to do. These same clients are perpetually disappointed in others until they trade in their ideals for a realistic viewpoint. Many of us may think that selfish is a dirty word but selfishness and personal goals are the keys to motivating your coworkers. If you get too busy being upset about this fact, you’ll never get the results you seek. When the people go to work, they bring all their personal values and professional ambitions to their cubicle. To be effective, you have to be

able to know and read your coworkers goals and especially their emotional agendas. Try this exercise if you want to get what you want at work: 1) Write down a result you want at work. 2) Make sure you can see this result on a video screen (list behavior and specifics). 3) Write down the reason your result is important to you. 4) Write down all the reasons you think the result should be important to your coworker. 5) Now write down all your guesses about the ways this result will benefit your coworker, especially emotionally. After you’ve written down this list, take a black marker and draw a line through No. 3 and No. 4 - because they don’t matter. Never in workplace negotiation blather on about how a request benefits you (no

Exercise power on financial issues you have control over By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

The European Union is once again on the brink of economic collapse;global economic growth is slowing; job creation has stagnated; and on top if it all, we’re once again in the uncomfortable position of relying on lawmakers to address expiring tax cuts and reductions in spending across-the-board as part of the debt ceiling deal. Since you can’t do much about these big-picture issues now, it seems to be a perfect time, halfway through 2012,to revisit the financial issues over which you actually have control: your investments, retirement savings and some of those other New Year’s resolutions that are already gathering dust. Investments: Quit complaining about the markets and DO SOMETHING. Remember that if you are a long-term investor, periodic market pull-backs are great opportunities to rebalance your accounts so that your allocation remains in check.This requires that you override your emotional urge to keep winning funds and dump those that are lagging. But that’s the point of asset allocation - various funds are supposed to move in different directions at different points in the economic cycle. Retirement: Many people say they are worried about retirement, but most of them haven’t done any planning to help themselves. As I noted in my article “What’s Your Retirement Number?” any conversation about retirement

must start with an easy step: calculating retirement numbers. EBRI’s “Choose to Save Ballpark E$timate”(www.choosetosave.org/ ballpark/) is easy to use, or check out your retirement plan/401(k) website for more retirement tools. Real Estate: Nationally, home prices have tumbled an average of 34 percent from their peak in 2006. Housing economists are predicting that home prices could stabilize this year, which means that now is a great time to shop for a house. If you aren’t sure about taking the real estate plunge, check out this rent vs. buy calculator (www.nytimes. com/interactive/business/buy-rentcalculator.html) for guidance. If you already own a home,

consider refinancing now! Mortgage rates are at historically low rates (for borrowers with good credit, 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are now an amazing 3.75 percent!) Use this re-fi calculator (www. hsh.com/refinance-calculator) to determine how much you may be able to save or how many years you could potentially shave off the term of your mortgage. One more item for homeowners: Make sure your property insurance is up to date. Summer often brings scary weather from tornados to hurricanes. Before an event occurs, make sure that your current coverage is adequate. According to insurance agent Stephen Testa of Testa Brothers, the three biggest

mistakes that people make when they’re buying/owning a home are: 1) under-insuring, 2) shopping for price only and not comparing apples to apples and 3) not reading policy details before a loss occurs. (Jill Schlesinger, CFP, is the Editor-at-Large
