Downers Grove village manager receives bonus, salary increase By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Opting to recognize his service to the community, the Downers Grove Village Council awarded a bonus and salary increase to its village manager. After an annual evaluation, Village Manager David Fieldmann was awarded a $5,000 bonus for performance in 2011, and his contract was modified, increasing his salary from $140,000 to $160,000. In addition, the contract includes a provision for an additional three months of severance payment in the event of termination without cause, a measure Mayor Martin

“We appreciate his high-level performance as village manager and I don’t think we thank him enough for his endeavors and his work for this community,” Martin Tully, mayor Tully doubts would ever come into play. Tully said the increase is by no means excessive and is in-line with the current market. “We appreciate his high-level performance as village manager and I don’t think we thank him enough for his endeavors and his

work for this community,” said Tully. Commissioner Marilyn Schnell echoed the mayors comments, stating that Fieldmann is receiving pay that is due him, noting that he does not rank with the highest of his peers in the county, but stands at mid-

The cast includes Bob Kosson of Brookfield, Curtis Sehy of Lombard, Toria Hollyn, Claire Rogoski of Riverside, David Andrews of Naperville, Karen Arnold of Westmont, Doug Dvorak of Downers Grove, Mike Manolakes of Bolingbrook and Tina Matriciano of Palos Hills. Two of the “Holiday” actors have previously appeared on the Grove Players stage.Last season highlighted the dramatic skills of Arnold, who appeared in “The Shadowbox,” and Amato, who was the lead actor in “Over the River and Through the Woods” in 2009. A third cast member, Kosson, directed “Sabrina Fair” for Grove Players in 2010. The show is directed by Charles Berglund of Naperville, and is produced by Susan O’Byrne of Hinsdale, Michelle Olejnik of Downers Grove and Jen Torchia of Lombard.

level, though his service to the community is stellar. “I have had the honor of working with many village managers, and he ranks as one of the top,” said Schnell. “The work he has done has amounted to millions of savings for us. He has lead a management team that is second to none… His work ethic and dedication needs to be rewarded.” A few residents spoke at the meeting, denouncing the idea of a salary increase, imploring the council to keep its spending down.

Commissioners Bob Barnett and William Waldack voted against the measure. However Barnett indicated that he did not vote the increase down because he didn’t think Fieldmann deserved it. On the contrary, he said he believes that Fieldmann does a “fantastic job.” “My vote is not a criticism of the village manager but more of a disagreement of philosophy of method,” Barnett said, noting that rewards should be paid after performance. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Home rule issue Open house introduces Westmont residents to two heats up with bond levy proposal new 2012 special events By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The Westmont Special Events Corporation will introduce two new main events for the community in 2012, and residents were invited to learn the details of those events at last Wednesday’s special events open house. Guests were treated to music, refreshments and a host of activities while they explored a smorgasbord of events being organized by the WSEC. “Tonight’s event is an open house in which we invite the entire community to come and learn abut or organization as well as our events,” WSEC President Larry McIntyre said. “We’ve also invited some local blues artists to come and perform.” A new French marketplace and a Rock & Roll Road Rally will accompany the Westmont Crusin’ Nights and the Taste of Westmont as the WSEC’s main attractions in 2012. But while the Rock & Roll Road Rally may have the cooler name, the French marketplace will certainly have the larger draw. Westmont resident Anne Kish and her 8-year-old daughter Mary attended Wednesday’s open house after receiving a notice in their utility bill. Kish said she usually attends the Taste of Westmont and Crusin’ Nights, but is excited about the French marketplace. “I think [the events] are good, especially the French market,” Kish said. “I’ll probably go to

“We’re really trying to provide an event that

offers something for everyone. So for the dads, maybe the classic cars will peak their interests. For the moms, possibly shopping at the French marketplace will have some intrigue.” Larry McIntyre, WSEC president Crusin’ Nights a bit more now.” In conjunction with Westmont Crusin’ Nights, the French marketplace will attempt to broaden the appeal of both events, which will take place Thursday evenings from June through August. The French marketplace will continue into September. “We’re really trying to provide an event that offers something for everyone,” McIntyre said. “So for the dads, maybe the classic cars will peak their interests. For the moms, possibly shopping at the French marketplace will have some intrigue.” McIntyre also said local artists will be invited to sell their arts and crafts, and a live band will perform each week. The name of the French marketplace was originally scheduled for release at the open house, but residents will have to wait a little longer. “We’re getting close,” McIntyre said. “If I had to guess, it will happen within the next couple of weeks.” The Rock & Roll Road Rally is another event the WSEC is

excited to introduce in 2012. Described by McIntyre as a scavenger hunt on wheels, the rally will place teams against one another in an effort to complete different challenges at various locations throughout Westmont. Teams will receive clues that will send them out into the community, and the team with the most points will win. But don’t worry, McIntyre said teams will be discouraged from racing from place to place in order to complete challenges quicker. “It’s a point-based event, it’s not a race,” McIntyre said. “We want to stress that it is not time based in anyway. That’s to keep the event safe and prevent people from speeding through the community. “Actually if you arrive from one destination to the next destination too quickly, you’ll lose points.” For more information about WSEC events, including times, dates and locations, visit www. westmontevents.com. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Maintaining home rule status was the topic of debate last week among village officials in Westmont, as they considered plans to fund street resurfacing through a bond levy during a budget workshop on April 18. Acting finance director Spencer Parker presented a proposal to board members to levy between $9-10 million for the project. But while the levy would need to pass as a tax, Parker suggested the board abate the tax and fund the resurfacing project through home rule tax revenues. Looking at funding to adopt a bond levy for $9-10 million of resurfacing, Parker proposed passing it as a tax but then abating it so it doesn’t show up on residents’ property taxes. Instead, the cost of the bonds would be funded through homerule sources of revenue, such as sales and motor fuel taxes. This would be the first time Westmont issued a bond levy, officials said. The levy could only be terminated if the village maintains home-rule status, and residents will vote on homerule status in November. Should the village revoke home-rule, officials would need to find an additional $412,000 to cover its budget or apply the amount to property taxes. Home rule sources of revenue in 2013 would include: • $88,000-utility tax;

“These individuals

who drive through our community, who purchase gas in our communities, these individuals should also pay for resurfacing because they use the roads,” Spencer Parker, finance director • $112,000 local motor fuel tax; • $250,000 State of Illinois Motor Fuel Tax; and • $200,000 supplemental sales tax; The advantage to residents is that a majority of these funds come from people who live outside the community and utilizing Westmont as a thoroughfare. “These individuals who drive through our community, who purchase gas in our communities, these individuals should also pay for resurfacing because they use the roads,” Parker said. Bond payment funding would come from these sources beginning in 2013. It would be a 20-year commitment. Village officials attest that keeping home-rule status will help the community get capital See BOND, page 4

Woodridge PD drug District 99 seeks input with ‘20 take-back April 28 Questions’ OnApril 28 from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. the Woodridge Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to the Woodridge Police Department at One Plaza Drive, Woodridge.The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Last October, Americans turned in 377,080 pounds—188.5 tons— of prescription drugs at over 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,000 state and local law enforcement partners. In its three previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in almost one million pounds—nearly 500

tons—of pills. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. Four days after the first event,

Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long-term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA is drafting regulations to implement the act, a process that can take as long as 24 months. Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies like the Woodridge Police Department and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months.

Junior Woman’s Club gears up for annual charity golf event The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club is gearing up to host their 2nd Annual “Local Celebrity” Charity Golf Outing at the historic Downers Grove Golf Club. New this year, philanthropy recipients from two Downers Grove charitable organizations will be among the “local celebrity” golfers. Janelle Robinson, Executive Director from Walk in Ministry of Hope, and Barbra

Wyzgala, Fiscal Director from Family Shelter Service will join the effort. Funds raised at the event benefit various Downers Grove and Dupage County community organizations which support victims of domestic violence, families affected by homelessness, community seniors, at-risk youth, military service veterans, and local student scholarships. Residents are invited to attend.

The event will be held on Saturday, May 12, as a shotgun scramble at 3 p.m. at the Downers Grove Golf Club located at 2420 Haddow Avenue.The event cost is $75 per person for golf and dinner, and $25 per person for dinner only, which will be catered by Gatto’s Restaurant. The event includes entertainment,a silent auction and awards. The registration deadline is April 30 and materials can be found online at www.dgjwc.org.

BOND

until after the November election and use the extra time to educate residents on the financial advantages to home-rule status. Without home-rule, the village would most likely need to seek a bond issue at referendum come

2013 to pay for ongoing work and repairs. The budget workshop was one of a series of planning meetings by village officials to plan municipal spending for next year. The fiscal year for Westmont begins May 1.

Continued from page 3 projects done at a more rapid pace. These include road work, sewer and storm water repairs, and other large municipal infrastructure projects. But to issue a long-term bond like the one proposed, risks losing the funding in the fall should village residents vote against home-rule status. Then taxes would most likely need to be raised, or city services cut to pay for the bond commitment. Another proposal was to hold off on the bond commitment

Forum Letter to the Editor

Cigarette tax increase supported Dear Editor, On April 19, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has announced a series of initiatives to address the state’s fiscal and public health concerns. Included in his proposal is a plan to increase the state’s cigarette tax by $1 per pack. Illinois’ current cigarette tax rate of 98 cents per pack ranks Illinois 32nd among all U.S. states. The American Cancer Society supports this proposal. The American Cancer Society is pleased Governor Quinn is combining smart fiscal and public health policy. Smoking remains the leading cause of cancer and this proposal will not only reduce the burden on the state’s Medicaid program for years to come, but more importantly, it will save lives and improve the health of people across Illinois, particularly in curtailing youth smoking.

The facts are staggering, and Illinois can and should do better. If the cigarette tax increase passes, we estimate that more than 70,000 youth will never smoke and more than 38,000 current Illinois residents will be spared from premature death caused by smoking. Thus, the proposal’s upside potential to reduce the pain and suffering from cancer and other diseases is enormous. From our perspective, the measure offers remarkable promise to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. The American Cancer Society and its legion of supporters commend Governor Quinn and encourage our legislators to adopt this proposal quickly so the lifesaving outcomes can begin. Kristi DeLaurentiis American Cancer Society, Illinois Division

You may have plans to conquer the world. Your energy levels rise during the upcoming week - but to maintain the competitive edge, you must be cautious and not risk your financial security.

Those who resent receiving less than their fair share might plot to take it. Sidestep issues that might touch off jealousy or envy in the week ahead. Your competitive nature may need containment.

Don’t accept second best. You don’t mind being treated like just one of the many peas in the pod as long as friends respect your individual rights. In the week to come, group dynamics challenge your patience.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. You are inspired in the week to come by others who make their work pay off. Be sure you understand exactly what is required; looks are deceiving

Benet Blasts Notre Dame

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle staff

Senior Bobby Wehrli goes up for one of his nine kills during Benet’s 25-17, 25-19 victory over Notre Dame in an ESCC match April 17.

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Benet boys volleyball coach Amy Van Eekeren likes what her team is bringing to the table these days. The Redwings moved into the conference portion of their schedule on April 17, and it didn’t take them long to dispose of ESCC rival Notre Dame, 2517, 25-19. Benet—which upped its overall record to 16-4 after beating St. Patrick 25-16, 25-22 on April 19—took control of both games early against the Dons, one of the ESCC’s better teams which had won seven of its first eight matches this season. “The communication on the court was excellent tonight,” Van Eekeren said. “I was very pleased with that. I like that we’re making changes (on the court) that we need to make. We’re continuously working hard in practice, improving on individual skills and working together as a team. I like all those things.” Notre Dame held a momentary 7-6 lead in Game 1, but it was all Benet from that point on. The Redwings scored seven unanswered points to take a 13-7 advantage, and Notre Dame never got closer than six points the rest of the game. Senior outside hitter Luke Ladowski, who finished with nine kills, had two kills and a block during Benet’s 7-0 run. Ladowski notched 12 kills vs. St. Patrick. “I liked that we played aggressive, I liked that we played consistent and I liked how we played as a team,” Van Eekeren said. “I like that they’re correcting each other on the court; that’s being a player. You want to teach kids to be players, not always look to you (the coach). You train them in practice; you want them to play together in a match and help each other, and I was

really pleased to see that on the court.” Consecutive kills by seniors Bobby Wehrli and Matt Conroy enabled Benet to open up a 9-3 lead in Game 2. The Dons went on a 6-0 run to knot the score at 9-9, but the Redwings began pulling away after scoring five of the next six points. “Notre Dame’s a rival in most sports here—baseball, football, basketball—and it’s no different for volleyball,” said Wehrli, who finished with nine kills and had seven in the win over St. Patrick. “I thought we did pretty well. Our passing was average. Pat (Dougherty) was able to make good sets and good plays, and we were playing well.” Dougherty, the Redwings’ junior setter, accumulated 24 assists and two aces. He and Wehrli are among the top players for Benet, which has nearly everyone back from a 2011 team that won 23 games. “We have a lot of talent,” Van Eekeren said. “This year we have a lot of athleticism, a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of experience returning so many players from last year’s team. The key is to get us all playing together consistently throughout the season, and I think we’re working each day on that goal, but we’re hitting speed bumps along the way.” One those bumps occurred at the Springfest tournament in early April. Downers South, which entered the tourney with a 2-3 record, upended the Redwings in a three-game match during pool play. “There’s definitely some mistakes we made earlier in the year and we’re making efforts to correct those,”Van Eekeren said. “We’re going to continuously be tested throughout the season. Conference is tough; there’s no easy match. Our nonconference, there’s no easy match. So there’s a lot of tests still to come, but I expect great things from us.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

Speedway hosts event with fans, Kenseth By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Most sports fans can buy tickets to their favorite sport, attend the events and cheer on their favorite athletes to victory. For most of them, that is the closest they get.

NASCAR However, for 25 select season ticket holders of Chicagoland Speedway, they had the chance for an intimate question and answer session with Matt Kenseth, the 2012 Daytona 500 champion. The event was originally scheduled for Feb. 29, two days after the scheduled race, but when the race was rained out, the event was postponed. Last week’s event offered the fans a chance to meet Kenseth, have photos taken and get autographs as well as take part in a question and answer session at the W Hotel Lakeshore Dr. in Chicago. “This is an excellent way to be close to him and you can talk to him and he is talking back to you

one on one,” said David Bryant of Bridgeview. “They actually make you feel like you are at their level. They are just normal people.” Kenseth talked cars with the fans, discussing the driver’s take on the switch from a carburetor to electronic fuel injector and also showed fans his true personality with his sarcastic exchanges with longtime friend and Chicagoland Speedway President Scott Paddock, as well as funny comebacks to fan questions. One fan asked Kenseth about his son,Ross,who races late model cars at Pro All-Star Series, CRA Super Series, and ASA Midwest Tour races. The fan asked what Kenseth’s involvement is and if his son’s career will impact how long he races. “My main involvement is I pay for it all,” Kenseth joked. “So, the second part of your question is, I might have to stay in racing longer so I can keep paying for it all.Actually, we just moved him to North Carolina, he is going to Clemson. I like it because he is close (to my shop), I’m not sure he likes it with me being that close. I am kind of a slave driver

and now I know when he isn’t at work when he should be.” Kenseth said all fans have a chance to see his humorous side if they follow him on Twitter at @MattKenseth. “I like Twitter because you can do it at your schedule,” he said.“I was sitting at the airport waiting for my flight (to Chicago), I was sitting around answering questions. People see a different side of me because sometimes I am smart or sarcastic. I enjoy that part because I am not how I am at the track or in front of the camera. I am more myself. I like to interact with the fans all the time, but it is different if they come up to you in the garage or when you are busy. With (Twitter), I can pick it up when I’m sitting around bored and give them more time.” Kenseth finished fourth at the STP 400 at Kansas Speedway, which could bode well for him at Chicagoland Sept. 12.

“They are sister tracks,” Kenseth said. “They went up at the same time and are laid out

the same. Chicago is fast and fun and I like it.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

Benet rolls past JCA

THE BUGLE APRIL 25, 2012

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Benet Academy traditionally produces strong tennis teams, regardless of gender. This spring’s boys squad is no exception. On April 19, the Redwings hosted Joliet Catholic Academy, one of the ESCC’s tougher squads.The Hilltoppers entered the dual meet with a not-tooshabby 11-2 record, but they left Benet’s courts winless.

BOYS TENNIS The Redwings swept each singles and doubles match (seven matches total) and marched to their 13th consecutive dual meet victory. “They’re starting to play better,”said Benet coach Michael Hand.“The players are believing in themselves and playing with a lot of confidence.” Seniors Bobby Martin and Matt Rurka each advanced to the state tournament last season playing with doubles partners who have since graduated. This year, they’ve teamed up at No. 1 doubles, and appear to be rounding into form. Martin and Rurka (17-6) disposed of JCA’s Ian Barr and Austin Naal, 6-3, 6-2. Their victory is noteworthy because Barr and Naal, both seniors, have played together since their freshman year and are three-time state qualifiers. “They’ve been great all the years we’ve been playing them,” said Rurka, referring to JCA. “Me and Bobby knew it was going to be a big match. We were prepared and we just went ahead and pulled out the win.” Rurka and Martin had to use the early part of the season to develop camaraderie on the court and get used to playing alongside each other. Now some of those growing pains have passed. “We’ve connected very well together,” Martin said. “We’ve known each other since freshman year. We got off to a slow start, but we’re developing as a team because we’ve been playing more often.” “We kind of got off to a slow start because we didn’t really know (each other),” Rurka said. “Last year I knew where my

partner was going. It took a little bit to adjust to (Martin), but very recently we’ve been having good chemistry and I think everything’s been going well. He’s a great partner and it’s been fun so far.” What’s also been fun for Rurka and Martin is watching the Redwings’ No. 1 singles player, sophomore Noah Read, develop. Read (10-10), who defeated Dominic Bertino of JCA 6-1, 6-7, 7-2, receives high praise from his teammates. “He’s looking great,” Martin said. “He’s our best player on

the singles side. I just hope he continues to do well and continues to grow. His strokes are pretty amazing.” “Both of our singles are pretty solid,” Rurka added. “Noah’s been playing great and (Andrew) Caniglia’s been playing great.” Caniglia (6-5), a junior who’s the Redwings’ No. 2 singles player, whipped his JCA opponent, 6-0, 6-0.

Seniors Ryan Emerick and Greg Peterson at No. 5 won their match 6-1, 6-0. “Our doubles teams are pretty solid,” Rurka said. “In practice our doubles teams are pretty much even, too. We’ll be practicing and it’ll be pretty close matches.” There’s still a month to go

before the Redwings compete in the all-important sectional. Benet captured second at the 2011 Naperville North sectional and sent two doubles teams to state, which included Rurka’s and Martin’s teams. They would like nothing more than to take it one step further and win this year’s sectional. “Our team is playing at a pretty high level,” Martin said. “The team is heading towards a sectional championship. That’s my No. 1 goal this year. I think that’s everybody’s goal.” “I think it’s definitely a possibility (winning sectionals),” Rurka said. “We’re definitely one of the top two teams in the sectional. Last year we were pretty close to doing it. I feel like our team this year can pull it off. I think we have a good chance.” mike@buglenewspapers.com

Weather means proﬁt for golf courses By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

With all of the warm and sunny weather the area has had since early March, one big business that is booming is the local golfing industry. When average highs are in the 50s, golf courses would be lucky to get a couple dozen or so golfers out for a round in March. Instead, as temperatures have soared into the 60s and 70s, while remaining relatively dry, courses have thrived. “We have more than doubled rounds played over the same period last year,” Bolingbrook Golf Club Golf Pro Eric Aldrich said. “More rounds equals more traffic in other departments. A few (nice) days here or there is normal, but to realize a stretch of such consistently nice weather is definitely spoiling us.” “We’re at 500 percent of where we were last year,” Wedgewood Golf Course Head Pro Jason Shook said. “I’ve been the head pro since 2000 and I’ve never had anything close to this. The course is a month ahead of pace and it looks like it is in late May.” Aldrich agrees that the weather has put golf courses in general in great shape, well above the norm for this time of year. “We haven’t made any major adjustments other than we have had to use some chemicals and fertilizers a little earlier than planned,” Aldrich said. “As it relates to course conditions, we are about six weeks ahead of where we were last year at this time.” With all of the usage, one problem that could arise is

overplaying, which could lead to roughed up greens and fairways by the end of the year. Aldrich doesn’t see that being a problem at Bolingbrook. “We feel that if play continues to grow and we stay ahead of pace, we will have the means to keep up with the additional course maintenance,” he said. Thanks to the cool temperatures, Shook feels the same way about Wedgewood. “I think we’re still fine,” Shook said. “When you get more traffic on the greens, there is the potential for more problems. But the temperatures have been cool, so the course has rebounded great.” While things are going great now, there is no guarantee of an increased profit by the end of the year. If there is a lot of bad weather during the peak months in the summer, they could lose more money than they have taken in during these non peak months, where it is harder for golfers to get off work. “Compared to the grand scheme of things, April is not one of the five biggest months,” Shook said. “If there is a lot of rain in June and July or it is really hot, this would all be for not. Once you lose days or weeks in golf, they are gone forever.” “Our rate structure is different during the prime golf months,” Aldrich said. “Therefore, it increases the liability of lost revenue due to inclement weather.” On the other end of the spectrum is Mistwood Golf Club, which is going through a renovation. That has caused

them to miss some prime money early in the season. “It would be hard for us to tell how many rounds of golf we could have done because of the nice weather since we were closed and did not keep a record of playable days,” Mistwood’s Director of Golf Dan Phillips said. “That being said it would have been nice to be open.” The weather did benefit them though by being able to get the renovation done around the scheduled time. “This spring and mild winter have helped us immensely,”

Phillips said. “The sod and grass seed that we were able to put down last fall have already become established. We planted seed in early March of this year and it germinated in two weeks. I don’t know of that has ever happened before. It helped us in in the laying of new drainage and irrigation. We were also able to construct four new bridges late this winter which gave us more access to the golf course. The nice weather should keep us close to our projected reopening which is Memorial day weekend.”

If you can’t tell by the name of this column, I will be writing this season about my take on all things NASCAR. My first rant By Mark Gregory is pretty straight forward and simple - leave the kids off the track! It seems to me that every time I tune into a race, it looks like its take your son and daughter to work day and for the sake of competitive driving this has to stop. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family. I don’t have kids, but I have five nieces and nephews and love spending time with all of them. That is the exact reason I believe drivers should keep the families off the track. NASCAR is dangerous. Cars go nearly 200 miles per hour and unlike other sports,death is always an option. I know that is why the drivers want that final moment with their kids, but in my opinion that takes away their edge. When the last thing you do before you get in the car is kiss your wife and kids, that is still on your mind when you need to go three wide at 190 miles per hour or bump draft an opponent in the final turn for a win. So far this year, cautions are down, wrecks are down and a lot of has to do with less aggressive driving. Is it only because they have their kids on the track pre-race? No, but I’m sure it doesn’t help give them a killer instinct. mark@buglenewspapers.com

Want revenge? Consider the cost first Q. I was recently fired from a job I loved because I had a coworker I thought was a friend who undermined me with my boss. I just landed a new job with a competing company. I find myself obsessing with ways to ruin my coworker’s career the way he ruined mine. Is there a way to make him pay without hurting my new job? A. No, you simply can’t multitask on revenge and your success at the same time. To backstab your former coworker, you have to focus on his back and not your future. Obsessing about revenge is normal and even healthy as long as it stays inside your head. When we have been betrayed (especially by a “friend”) we feel powerless. Fantasies about getting even give us a sense of power that can help heal our feelings of victimization.

However, the minute you step over the line between daydream and action, you’ll put your new job in jeopardy. Even talking badly about your former coworker or company will make you look petty and immature. Although plenty of drama happens in our workplaces, people who create emotional drama tend to be disrespected and avoided, and lose credibility. Even when you have a darn good reason to complain, you are better off keeping your eye on getting what you want. Obviously, not gagging when your coworker’s name comes up will take some impressive impulse control. Silence at these

moments will be your best option. Chances are your coworker has made other enemies. If these people vent about him, go ahead and paraphrase their complaints. Just make sure you don’t throw your own comments into the mix. People have a bad habit of repeating what we have said when it is the most harmful to our reputation. The old cliche is true: Success is the best revenge. If you find that sentiment hard to believe right now, consider this question: Who would you want to get even with if you had absolutely everything you wanted in work and life? Notice how the impulse for revenge is mostly a reaction to feeling deprived by someone of what we think we deserve. When you’re outside of work, it’s fine and helpful to express your suffering at the hands of your coworker.Working through

your feelings about what happened will help you move on. Just make sure you keep these feelings off Facebook and out of your industry contacts. As you’re venting, also ask yourself what signs you missed that may have told you that your coworker was foe, not friend. When something bad happens to you at work, at the minimum you want to figure out how to avoid this same problem again. If you don’t take some responsibility for misjudging your coworker, you may end up with the same problem in your new position. The sting of betrayal will heal rapidly if you can give your full attention to doing an exceptional job with your new company. As you build your new reputation, your old boss may even come to regret letting your coworker convince him to fire you.

The last word(s) Q. I have a coworker who enjoys picking fights with me at large meetings. Is there a simple way to shut him up? A. Yes, calmly repeat back to him his point, “So you’d like to at some point discuss X,” then be quiet. He can’t fight if you don’t return his attack.

Unity remains the key in money and marriage Dear Dave, Does it matter whether it’s the husband or the wife who keeps the checkbook and pays the bills? Lots of people say that kind of thing is the man’s job, but I was curious about what you think. Daniel Dear Daniel, I don’t think it matters one bit, and here’s why. In each family there’s a nerd and a free spirit. The nerd is good at keeping track of things and putting everything in its place. The free spirit is just the opposite. They are not detailoriented. Now, this doesn’t make them irresponsible or mean that they don’t care. It’s just that they aren’t blessed with a gift for administration. They want things to be good and right just as much as the nerd, but they don’t necessarily get a rush when the checkbook balances out. Just because the nerd keeps the checkbook doesn’t mean he or she gets to make all the financial decisions, either. In a marriage, those decisions should be made together with input from both the husband and wife. Remember,

God didn’t unite some kind of joint business venture. He made you as one – together. When you do a budget each month, you should both sit down and come to a mature, reasonable and respectful agreement on where the money’s going. So, when it comes down to the act of keeping the checkbook, I think whoever is the more organized of the two should handle this duty. But if you include these other principles, you’ll experience more unity in your daily lives together and have better communication in your marriage! —Dave Dear Dave, I just began a business with a friend as an LLC partnership. I know he’s honest and a hard worker, but I’m still a little scared that everything will fall apart and we’ll walk away mad at each

other. We used a CPA to get a tax ID number and help us set up the company. Do you think we should pay a lawyer to help us map out the partnership agreement in writing? Mike Dear Mike, Drawing up a written partnership agreement may be the only shot you’d have at walking away from this venture with your friendship still intact. But I don’t think you need to hand some lawyer a bunch of money to make it happen. Chances are, your new business doesn’t need that level of detail.All you need is someone to help you draw up a template that answers all the “what if” questions. This template can be as simple as a list of all the things that could go wrong and the answers to those scenarios. These would be things like death, disability, moral failure, bankruptcy, etc., and what happens if any of these occur. You know, there are hardly ever problems in a business venture when everyone’s happy and making piles of money. But it can get rough if you begin to disagree

over the direction the company is taking. Or, what if personal issues make you decide you don’t want to be in business with the other person anymore? It’s easy to go all pie-in-the-sky over these things, but you have to make plans for any and all of the

worst outcomes, too. —Dave * For more financial advice please visit daveramsey.com.

Get your outdoor spaces ready for summer living

THE BUGLE APRIL 25, 2012

There’s no better place than your own backyard for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the outdoors. And there’s no better time than summer to spruce up your space. If you’re looking to upgrade a humdrum yard into something special, here are some things to consider:

Comfort Trees and awnings aren’t just great adornments for your yard; they provide much needed shade for you to sit outdoors comfortably and safely. Avoid summer mosquito bites by placing birdbaths and other standing water structures far from lounging and eating areas. Install LED yard lighting for night, which is less likely See OUTDOOR, page 24

Gardening teaches healthy habits School may be out for summer, but as a parent, you can ensure there are plenty of opportunities for your children to learn new things throughout the vacation. Start with something fun, practical, and vital to health and wellness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. But you can fight this trend with a hands-on lesson in nutrition. “Gardening is a great way to bridge the summer learning gap and promote a healthy lifestyle,” said Shari Brown, the winner of 2012 Toyota Teacher of the Year Award.“Not only will you be improving your family’s nutrition by incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into your meals, you’ll be exposing your children to a subject they may not learn about in school.” Brown, a North Carolina

educator, was honored by the National Center for Family Literacy for her work helping families learn together. She plans to use her grant award to create a community garden. Brown is encouraging families everywhere to learn together while gardening. She has several tips to help you learn in the garden: • Involve your children in the process of picking out what type of plants to grow. Then develop fun, nutritional meals together, such as veggie pizza and fruit salad. • Bugs are cool! Get your kids excited and curious about crucial garden critters with library books, Internet sites, your local science center, videos and bug games. • Read stories about gardening with your children. Make a scrapbook about the experience of growing your garden.

OUTDOOR Continued from page 23 to attract mosquitoes than incandescent lights.

Safety When planning your space, make safety a top priority. Since evenings are primetime for summer entertaining, lighting is an essential safety measure. Start by considering where you need to increase visibility. Choose post-mounted lanterns near driveways and wallmounted lanterns next to doors for ease of access and to welcome guests.If underground wiring is required, consult an electrician or experienced landscape lighting contractor. For deck stairs or terraced paths, don’t forget step lights to aid in navigation. And thoroughly check outdoor railings, steps, decks and porches to make sure they are steady and that no nails or boards have come loose.

Beauty Your yard is an extension of your home, so don’t let design and style fall by the wayside when planning its look. For a touch of natural beauty, consider planting a flower garden to attract butterflies and humming birds. “Illuminate paths and define edges where the garden or grass meet walkways,” says Jeff Dross, corporate director of education and industry trends for Kichler Lighting, a leading supplier of outdoor and landscape lighting for consumers and contractors. The interplay of light and shadow adds magic to the night. By carefully placing accent lights at upward or downward angles and using wall wash lighting, you can silhouette trees and direct shadows. Capture the nighttime loveliness of water features like ponds with LED lights specially built for underwater illumination. For best results, consult a landscape lighting expert. More information on landscape lighting can be

found at www.kichler.com or www.landscapelighting.com. You can also receive referrals to Kichler-certified landscape lighting contractors by clicking “Need a Contractor?”

Energy-Savings Don’t let your exterior spaces drive up your home’s energy bills. New LED deck and landscape lights are lowmaintenance, cost effective options. Lasting up to 40,000 hours -- about 15 years -- these fixtures use 75 percent less energy than incandescent lights. “Since outdoor lighting is often left on all night or for many hours at a time, savings from LED lighting can really add up,” Dross says. Remember to avoid cheaper LED lights with a bluish cast that many find unattractive. Opt instead for a warm white light, such as Kichler’s Design Pro LED landscape lights. Don’t just dream about the perfect outdoor space. For a great season, transform your yard into a beautiful, fun place.
