Woodridge Park District spokesperson Julie Rhodes said this year’s event was special in a variety of ways, including a new lineup of musical acts, an ice cream contest and a beanbag tournament to support the Special Olympics. “It’s being run by a Woodridge Police officer, who’s done a lot for the organization, and all the proceeds go to Special Olympics,” she said. The village was forced to postpone the start of the Jubilee this year because of a severe weather alert on June 12, and showers led Park District personnel to cancel the fireworks display Saturday evening. Rhodes said the Park District was promoting Saturday as the Jubilee’s main event with a full-blown day of activities and inexpensive entertainment scheduled.

Downers Grove council torn on DMMC By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The Downers Grove Village Council appears split on whether it will continue renew its membership in the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference. Commissioners and village staff discussed the issue during the June 11 Village Council meeting, as a decision on whether or not to pay the $36,800 required to renew membership is on the horizon. “I don’t view this so much as a value proposition,”Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully said. “I view this as an opportunity that lies before us for good leadership and collaborative opportunities that will benefit us and also the rest of DuPage County. It’s something that we really ought to embrace.” Tully, who also serves as the vice president of the DMMC, said that last week’s workshop was intended to help answer a number of questions concerning the cost of membership and what type of benefits the villages can expect from being members. Downers Grove voted not to renew its membership with the DMMC

in 2010 and rejoined the organization in Neustadt and Becky Rheintgen to announce they would likely oppose 2012. Tully said his feelings have changed any vote to renew membership in the since 2010, when he questioned the organization “This is a value proposition, and I’ve benefits of DMMC membership. He described the organization as a trade been against this since 2010,” Neustadt association for mayors and managers, said. In addition to the $36,800 membership which gives its members the benefit of fee, Neustadt said collaborating with that there is an one another and his is a value proposition, additional $13,000 increasing their state spent on village staff legislative power and I’ve been against this time associated with through cooperative since 2010.” DMMC activities.

The DMMC aggregation and combining 911 currently has 33 dispatch operations with the village of member communities. “When we [the DMMC] go down to Westmont as less-costly examples of the Springfield and we speak with the voice type of cooperative legislative actions the of a million people, it’s a little easier to DMMC offers. Rheintgen also questioned whether compete with Chicago and some other places than if it was just Downers Grove,” the village was receiving enough benefit Tully said.“That’s a pretty big megaphone from the organization to warrant the to have. How do you put a price tag on membership dues. “The cost of membership is significant, that?” However, concerns over the price of and I think that’s why we’re all grappling membership and return on investment with this choice,” said Rheintgen, who was what caused commissioners Geoff voted to renew Downers Grove’s

membership in the DMMC in 2012. “I’m really leaning towards not voting for this next week.” However, commissioners Sean Durkin and Greg Hosé felt that membership in the DMMC has a lot of potential benefits. In addition to collaboration between communities, the leadership position that Tully has taken in the DMMC will add to the potential benefits of membership Durkin said. “This really is an organization that has a lot of potential, and I truly believe that we have not maxed out the potential that this organization has to offer,” Durkin said. Durkin said Tully, who currently serves as the vice president, is likely next in line to serve as president of the organization. If Downers Grove did vote not to renew its membership, Tully would give up his role as vice president. Commissioner Bob Barnett did not attend the June 11 meeting, and Commissioner David Olsen did not say definitively whether or not he planned to vote in favor of membership. The Village Council is expected to vote on the question at their June 18 meeting. jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

The Downers Grove Public Library is moving forward with its long-anticipated building renovation project. The work will address changes in library use, evolving community needs, technological advances, and 14 years of wear and tear on the library’s 1999era building. The Library Board has engaged an experienced team, the Chicago firm Product Architecture Design.Their plans will refresh the Library building and help achieve the board’s goals to make the building and its contents an attractive destination for the community. Working with a budget of $2,394,000 supported by library funds already in hand, the renovation will improve visibility and traffic

flow throughout the building. Spaces for small group study and meetings, new technology uses, and special users such as children and teens will be included in the renovation. The basics, like restroom upgrades, will receive attention too. The Library will not seek any new property tax revenue to carry out this project. The design team and Library staff have been hard at work for several months. The next major step will occur on Wednesday June 26, when the architects make a public presentation. They will be seeking board approval for schematic design, including initial cost estimates. The requested approval will define the scope and character of the project, ensuring that it

can be accomplished within the funding available. The June 26 meeting, cohosted by the Friends of the Library, will be open to the public, as are all Library Board meetings. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. Comments and questions from members of the public will be invited. The project is scheduled to go out to bid in late October, with construction beginning Feb. 1. Completion is expected in the fall of 2014. The library will remain open during construction. The Board of Trustees of the Downers Grove Public Library supports the renovation project. You can follow the progress of the renovation project at www. dglibrary.org/renovation.php.

Six locals land on all-area squad By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

For the past few seasons, the Minooka boys volleyball team has grown into a perennial state power house. And for the past two seasons, setter Phil Hannon has been the person making the team go. This season, Hannon posted 881 assists to help lead Minooka to a 36-3 record. The Indians lost only twice to Illinois teams, both coming to state runner-up Lincoln-Way North. “It was a lot of fun,” Hannon said. “I have never had a team with so many hitting options. After my junior year, I was wondering who would be my main option and it turned out there was no main option. I could spread it around depending on who was on and where I was on the court. It made it a lot easier for me to play. Most people think the setter doesn’t get too excited when the ball goes down and they think the hitters get all the excitement, but when I see a ball go down, I know I was a part of that.” For his efforts, Hannon is the 2013 Voyager Media Boys Volleyball Player of the Year. “I wasn’t expecting to be recognized too much because I am just the setter on a team with these massive hitters everyone is talking about,” Hannon said. “But, I guess it feels pretty good to be the leader of that and be recognized for it. Other coaches would tell me and tell our coach they didn’t know how we would be without a good setter, so I guess I am almost compared to the quarterback. I just feed the other players and hope they do what they can with the ball.” While his main duties were as

the setter, Hannon took pride on being a multi-dimensional player, adding to the team defense when he could. This season, he posted 50 digs and 69 blocks, the thirdbest block total on the team. “Since I had all the options, I didn’t have to make my sets exactly perfect. Because of that, I could focus on defense and helping the team there,” Hannon said. “My defense lacked the last two years and I worked hard on that. When I got a block, it felt great. A lot of teams would overpass and not expect a 5-11, 6-foot setter to jump up and block them. It was so much fun blocking kids that were way bigger than me.” While the Indians are losing a lot of offensive firepower from this year’s team, coach Janel Grzetich said it will be tough to replace a setter like Hannon. “It will be extremely difficult to replace him,” she said. “Not only does the setter have to have unbelievable hands, but has to be able to read blockers and make a split-second decision if a pass is slightly off, which hitter do I go to in which rotation. It is very difficult and he makes it look easy.” Hannon will attend Southern Illinois University-Carbondale next season and will play volleyball for the club team, but not for the university team, instead focusing on his education. He plans to major in aviation or music. “If I was a full-time athlete and a full-time student, I don’t know how I would be in school,” he said.

Olson takes over reigns of basketball program at DGS By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

One of the easiest hires Randy Konstans said he has made during his tenure as Downers South athletic director is promoting boys’ assistant basketball coach Kris Olson to head coach. Olson, who’s coached the sophomore team the past four years in addition to his role as a varsity assistant, takes over for Jay Baum, who retired as a teacher after the 2012-13 school year. “I think it’s a natural fit,” Konstans said. “He is as ready as anybody’s ever going to be. Having coached in the college ranks, having coached in the high school ranks; his Dad coached, he’s been around the game his entire life. He’s the goods.” Olson’s father, Ken Olson, was a longtime basketball coach at Lane Tech. Kris lists Baum, his father, Ron Nikcevich, for whom he played at Lyons Township, and former York head coach

Al Biancalana, now an assistant at the University of IllinoisChicago, as his influences in basketball. (Olson was an assistant to Biancalana at York before joining the DGS coaching staff four years ago.) Ken Olson and Nikcevich are both Illinois Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame inductees. “Talk about not missing a beat. (With Olson), the program is going to pick up right where it was (under Baum),” Konstans said. “And who knows? Maybe it’ll go to another level under his leadership. I just feel that confident in his abilities.” Olson, who also was an assistant at Florida Tech in Melbourne, Fla., takes over a program that’s rich in winning and tradition.The Mustangs won back-to-back regional titles in 2010-11 and 2011-12, and went 15-12 last winter. “Our No. 1 goal is to play the game the right way,” Olson said. “Always play hard and to Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

DOUG AREMKA Plainfield North junior totaled 168 kills and 73 blocks, with a hitting percentage of .460. “Doug is one of the top middle players in the area,” North coach Kevin Vesper said. “Sixty-one percent of the sets he received were put down as a kill, which is an incredible stat. He is also a strong leader on and off the court. His senior year should only get better.”

GILIUS BLINSTRUBAS Blinstrubas, a senior from Downers North, missed 10 matches this season due to bursitis in his foot, which flared up and caused him a lot of pain. And the Trojans definitely

missed his presence. They went 19-7 with him in the lineup, and 3-7 without him. Nonetheless, Blinstrubas put down 216 kills and served at 89 percent, both team highs. He added 28 blocks, 31 aces and 104 digs. Blinstrubas will be playing collegiate volleyball at Sienna Heights (Mich.). “To be recruited no matter what level is pretty significant,” said Downers North coach Mark Wasik. “He was our go-to guy. He’s a consistent all-around player and played six rotations for us.”

DAVID DEMARCO DeMarco was the heart and soul of Downers South’s state title club. No matter where the ball happened to be on DGS’ side of the court, DeMarco managed to get to it. DeMarco totaled 404 digs and had 17 aces. He and Nick Timreck will be teammates on the Dominican University’s fledgling

volleyball team in 2014. “We wanted the ball to kind of go to David’s direction so we could dig it,” Downers South coach Kurt Steuer said. “David is a vocal and emotional guy; he learned to control that emotional aspect. They (DeMarco and Tyler Kaczmarek) just knew where each other were going to be and who was going to get the ball. He’s definitely going to be missed in the back row and the guys will miss him.”

ANDRE FLORES A senior from Plainfield East, Flores guiding the Bengals to a regional title. He finished the year with 144 kills, 97 aces, 168 digs and 174 assists. “This last offseason he worked his butt off,” Vergo said of Flores. “In the last match against Bolingbrook and tonight, he showed that he wants this. He wants to put the team on his shoulders. He is on a level on his own right now.”

ELI GELFAND Named to the CSL South AllConference squad, Niles West’s

THE BUGLE JUNE 19, 2013 Gelfand appeared to have the best chemistry with the team’s setter, Jordan Moy, on the team, according to coach Drew Roche. Gelfand netted 236 kills, 33 total blocks, 60 digs and 24 aces, for the Wolves, who advanced to the regional title game. “Eli wound up being our top hitter this year, and I think he was our go-to player,” Roche said. “He probably had the best approach and the best swing on our team, and it shows. He has a strong jump-serve. He’s got to work on his all-around game.”

JAMES HILL A senior from Plainfield South, Hill finished the year with 189 kills. “He was instrumental in winning our first round regional game against Lockport,” Plainfield South coach Robert Majka said. “When we needed a kill we would tell our setters to set it high and watch him jump. He has incredible vertical. He would jump so high that he would be over their blockers as he was swinging. If we would have utilized him more in certain situations we would have had a

few more wins.”

STEVEN LENDY Notre Dame coach Patrick Cole says Lendy, a junior, is the first player he’s ever had where allstate is a definite consideration going forward. Lendy registered team-bests in kills (286), digs (133), aces (34), and had 35 total blocks along with a .389 hitting percentage (third on the team). Lendy had 10 matches in which he posted at least 10 kills. “He’s progressing very, very rapidly,” Cole said. “He gave us a lot this year and we’re expecting more from him next year. He’s got a work ethic that’s incredible. I’ve seen very few people motivated like he is.”

BRIAN LYMAN Joliet West junior was a standout for the Tigers, posting 351 kills, 133 digs, 60 blocks and 37 aces. “Brian is a three-year starter for us and was our go-to attacker and leader this season,” said West coach Jason Herrmann. See ALL-AREA, page 14

Niles West utilized a 5-1 system, and Moy ran the show for his team. The junior piled up 764 assists with 152 digs (second on the team), and served at a 90.6 percentage with 21 aces. “He definitely took a big step up from last year,” Roche said. “He’s a good players and he’s got a lot of potential. He’s got to focus on some things that he probably never quite realized before that we tried to work (on) with him this year. Hopefully it clicks in the offseason.”

Minooka junior showed what he could do this season, helping Minooka post a 36-3 record. He posted 231 kills, 75 blocks and had 27 aces. “He was an excellent rightside hitter and put up a strong block against other outside hitters,” said Minooka coach Janel Grzetich.“As a left-handed hitter, his hard cross-court and line shots were difficult for opponents to block.”

Continued from page 11

BROOKS NEVERLY The senior three-year starter was, in Downers North coach Mark Wasik’s words, “Probably one of the strongest, if not the strongest, libero I’ve ever seen. … His overall quickness, his ability to read opponents’ shots and keep rallies alive. He was probably our best and strongest player overall on the team.” Next spring, Nevrly will team up with his former Downers South rivals, Nick Timreck and David DeMarco, at Dominican University in River Grove, which is starting up a new Division III team. Nevrly had 418 digs, 24 aces and a 96.1 percent serve-receive average, and added 38 assists.

TOM POZNANSKY Poznanski, a senior from Plainfield Central, finished the season with 238 kills, 26 aces, 126 digs and 57 blocks. “Tom was a leader for our team on and off the court,” Plainfield Central coach Jessica Clark said. “He is an amazing competitor, and takes the game very seriously. He approaches the game with great focus and worked all season to be better each day.”

MATT SVETLECICH He posted a team-best 299 kills for the state-qualifying Minooka Indians. He added 75 blocks and 37 aces. “He was a consistently strong hitter for us this year and he had an extremely good court sense,” said Grzetich.

JORDAN PAWLICKI Pawlicki, a junior, came into his own this season for the state champion Mustangs. Pawlicki amassed an eye-popping 930 assists, and added 226 digs and 30 aces. “He took our offense and led it,” Steuer said. “He’s an athletic kid that gets to a lot of balls. He just made good

in terms of shots, using tips and roll shots to put the ball where nobody was. He loves to get those big kills and it fires him up. He wants to celebrate with his teammates (after a kill); he thrives upon doing that. He just wanted it more and more and more each time.”

MAALIK WALKER One of the more powerful players in the area, Walker posted 177 kills and a teambest 135 blocks for Minooka. Walker will play next season on McKendree University’s inaugural men’s volleyball team. “He was a very powerful hitter and his leadership on the court was outstanding,” Grzetich said.

NATE WOLF Wolf, an all-CSL South pick from Maine South, has grown not only in height—he was 5-8 his freshman year; now he’s 6-8—but more important, he’s grown on the volleyball court. The Ball State recruit passed up his senior year on the basketball team, deciding to devote all his energies to volleyball. It paid off as he led Hawks, who advanced to sectionals, in kills (251) and passing percentage (2.42 on a 3-point scale) to go along with 142 digs, 14 solo blocks and 26 block-assists (second on the team), and 24 aces. “The difference between last year and this year are tremendous,” said Maine South coach Gary Granell.“He came in at 6-8 this year and not only was he bigger, but he was better.”

SAWYER YEAZEL The Benet senior,named ESCC Player of the Year this spring, was a threeyear starter for the Redwings. He was second on the club with 173 kills and 138 digs, led the team with 32 aces and had 22 blocks with a 2.4 passing percentage on a 3-point scale. “He’s an outstanding allaround player, and definitely one of our go-to guys,” Benet coach Amy Van Eekeren said. “He executes in the front row and back row really well. He’s a momentum player and really carries our team.” Scott Taylor and Mike Sandrolini also contributed

Volleyball system becoming more popular By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

There are three basic formations in volleyball: The 4-2, 6-2 and 5-1. Over the years it seems the 5-1 formation, where there is the same setter at all times, has been the most popular option. However, while the 4-2 is still fairly rare (four hitters, two setters), the 6-2 (six hitters, two setters) seems to be taking off, on both the college (women) and high school levels. In this formation the setter position is generally in the back row at all times. This allows three front row hitters on the court at all times. In some situations, such as high school and women’s collegiate volleyball, teams will sub out setters once they go into the front row and replace them with a hitter. In other situations the setter will become a hitter in the front row if they are left in. This has hit the high school and women’s NCAA college volleyball levels because of the number of substitutions allowed per set. In high school you are allowed 18 subs per set, while in NCAA women’s volleyball, rules changed this past year, going from 12 to 15 subs. Men’s NCAA Division I volleyball carries the Olympic rule of six subs per set, which makes you need to have two setters who can hit if you run a 6-2. So, while the number of subs have increased in many levels, that has allowed more hitters on the court at a time and it is adding to the amount of setters being played across the area and has been seen by many boys volleyball teams. “It’s not necessarily I like the 6-2 better than the 5-1 or the 4-2,” Plainfield East coach Dan Vergo said.“The big reason why

OLSON Continued from page 12 be a very fundamentally sound program, and Jay kept that going. We’ve had great tradition here of playing the game the right way. (I want) to carry on with that. “I think if we had to put on

(we run it) is our clientele. If you have short setters, you have to go with guys who can play in the front row. We’ve also had six pretty good hitters so you want to get all your hitters out there.” “We’ve got eight kids that can hit,” Notre Dame College Prep coach Patrick Cole said. “It’s hard enough to squeeze those into the five offensive positions taking one away. We’ve got two very talented setters. They set the ball up very well and they have good rapport with their hitters. There’s really no downside (to using the 6-2 formation); we really just get an extra attacker.” “At Lockport we do run it,” Lockport coach Austin Lindley said. “The main reason is because you always have three hitters in the front row witch opens up more options for your setter. If you have just one setter when he is front row it makes it slightly easier for the blockers in the other side especially the middle. We are lucky enough to have a setter who can also hit and block very well. So when he is front row he hits when he goes to the back row he sets. And we sub out our other setter for a good right side hitter/blocker.” Running a 5-1 system makes you have a more well-rounded setter, which is harder to find on the high school level. “To run a 5-1 you would need a tall and strong setter,” Lindley said. Tall to block and strong meaning very good so the defense would always have to be ready for him to dump and then also he would be tough to read.” The athletic ability of players and the advent of the libero have also helped the system as there are more defensive specialists available, so that hitters can focus more on hitting rather than playing back row.”

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

the board what our three top priorities are, it’s to play hard, be a good student and good person in our community, and then improve your talent every day.” Senior guard Danny Spinuzza, a three-year starter, leads a 201314 squad that won’t possess the height the Mustangs have enjoyed in previous seasons. Robert Mara, Kevin Hall and

Scott McNellis, who went 6-8, 6-7, and 6-5, respectively, have graduated. Nevertheless, Olson is confident this team will be fun to watch. “We’ll be extremely scrappy and very hard-working,” Olson said. “We’ve had a good summer so far, so that’s kind of excited me. We’ll press and we’ll play pretty fast. We’re going to run

Nascar remembers Jason Leffler By David Caraviello NASCAR.com

The NASCAR community was left stunned Wednesday night by the news that driver Jason Leffler had been killed in an accident during a sprint-car race in New Jersey. Leffler, 37, died in a crash at Bridgeport Speedway, a fiveeighths mile high-banked dirt track in Swedesboro, N.J. He was pronounced dead shortly after 9 p.m. Eastern time, according to the Associated Press. RETURN TO DIRT-RACING ROOTS EXCITED LEFFLER A native of Long Beach, Calif., Leffler has been a fixture at NASCAR’s national level since

1999.The two-time winner on the NASCAR Nationwide Series leaves behind a young son, Charlie. “NASCAR extends its thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to the family of Jason Leffler who passed away earlier this evening,” NASCAR said in statement. “For more than a decade, Jason was a fierce competitor in our sport and he will be missed.” According to local news reports from the area, Leffler had to be extricated from his vehicle and was taken by ambulance to a local trauma center, where he later died from his injuries. Bridgeport Speedway immediately suspended racing for the rest of the night after the accident occurred.

Jason Leffler signs autographs for fans before a Nationwide race in 2011. Leffler, 37, died last week after an accident during a sprintcar race in New Jersey.

“I’m completely devastated to hear about Jason Leffler. It doesn’t seem real. Pray for his family tonight,” Nationwide Series driver Trevor Bayne wrote on Twitter, echoing the sentiments of many who knew the well-liked former U.S.Auto Club champion. “Sitting here in disbelief,” veteran NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler wrote on Twitter.“All I can think about is Charlie. Prayers to

his little boy.” Leffler made his first NASCAR start this season in Sunday’s Sprint Cup Series event at Pocono Raceway, where he finished 43rd. Although he competed at NASCAR’s top level for both Joe Gibbs Racing and Chip Ganassi, his best years came on the Nationwide tour, where he finished inside the top 10 in points five times. He won

Nationwide races for owners Gene Haas and Todd Braun, and also won a Camping World Truck Series event in 2003 for Jim Smith. But Leffler’s roots were in the USAC ranks, where he won three midget titles to go along with a silver crown championship. He returned to those roots this season, competing most of the year in a winged sprint car.

BIFFLE WINS FORD’S 1,000th RACE Greg Biffle feels right at home at Michigan International Speedway. He took the lead for good on a late restart and ran away from the field in the closing laps to win Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400. The No. 16 Ford driver won his second straight race here and the 19th of his career. Four of those victories have come at MIS. “It’s definitely a special day,” Biffle said after delivering Ford Motor Co. its 1,000th victory in NASCAR’s three national touring series. “Just super-excited for Ford and sure excited to be No. 1,000.” The win secured Biffle a berth in the 2014 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and moved him up a spot to eighth in the standings.

Helping an employee understand the meaning of no Q. I have an employee that treats “no” as little more than a speed bump. He just goes faster and pretends I didn’t say anything.Also, if I give him an inch on any policy, he figures the policy doesn’t even apply. I have had repeated conversations where I point out the rules; he smiles and then does what he damn pleases. How do I get him to toe the line? A. You are facing a typical managerial frustration. Most people don’t like the word “no.” You will get your employee to toe the line when you stop talking and simply make it extremely painful to speed up as he cruises by posted limits. The first time we learn to dislike the word “no” is when we are about 18 months old. The reason we have dubbed this developmental phase the Terrible

Twos is because parents generally are put through heck by their clever, stubborn toddler. Unfortunately, the workplace is full of people whose parents never really figured out how to make them respect the word “no.” One of the best resources for effective management, ironically, is parenting books. Most problems you’ll run into as a manager are unresolved issues the parents of your employees didn’t handle well. There are three styles of parenting, and managers often use only one of them.The first style is autocratic (You do what I say or I’ll spank you!), the second is permissive (Isn’t it cute you’re setting the cat’s tail on fire?), and the last is authoritative (I listen and understand but I have the final say).

Most of your employees were either parenting with autocratic parents (which makes people sneaky) or permissive parents (which makes people narcissistic).The employees that were parenting with a balance of limits and consequences will never be your problem “children.” Your specific employee clearly had parents of the permissive sort. He expects you’ll talk and talk and talk, and he can do whatever the heck he wants. If you want his respect, you need to stop talking and start acting. Set up a private meeting and let him know you want to continue to have him on your team.Then hand him a list of behaviors that aren’t working with a list of concrete consequences that will occur next time he does one of these behaviors. Classic consequences can include a day of suspension, being barred from participating in important events, and even

Doing the right thing over a family loan Dear Dave, I borrowed $30,000 from my aunt to buy a condo eight years ago.We had a deal that she would get her money back, plus a piece of the profits, when it sold. If there were no profits, she would get back her original $30,000. Recently the condo sold and I lost the money I put into it, plus my aunt’s money as well. I make good money and don’t have any other debt, but I’m a little resentful now that she wants me to pay her back. Do you have any suggestions? Christine Dear Christine, I don’t want to be mean, but you have no right to be resentful toward your aunt.This is the deal you signed up for, and she did nothing wrong.Wanting her money back now isn’t greedy or malicious on her part, and it’s definitely not worth putting a family relationship at risk. I know what you’re thinking, because it’s just human nature. You just went through a lot, and the situation didn’t work out as planned. Plus, it doesn’t sound like your aunt is hurting

financially if she put $30,000 toward helping you in the deal. Part of you is thinking she has plenty of money, so why doesn’t she just forgive the debt and forget about everything? If you were barely scraping by, I might suggest that you sit down and talk with her over a cup of coffee, explain the situation and ask her to forgive the debt. Right now, the little girl part of you is whining,“Oh, come on. Just let me go!” But the grown-up Christine knows better.That part of you is whispering,“You know what to do…” Pay her back as quickly as possible, and get this bad deal behind you for good.You said you make good money, so just take care of your responsibility. It’ll hurt some, but it’s better than taking a chance on ruining the relationship with a very generous and loving aunt. —Dave

Watch what you give ‘em Dear Dave, I’m working on my debt

snowball, and I’m trying to settle with a pushy collector. I don’t have the $9,000 I owe, but I have $3,000 I’d like to offer as a settlement. Recently the collector has started asking for a lot of information I don’t feel comfortable providing.What should I do? Daniel Dear Daniel, Lots of times in these kinds of situations collectors are trying to gather up as much information as possible in order to sue you. Even if that’s not the case here, there’s no reason for you to be supplying them with a bunch of extra info. Just offer them the $3,000, and make it clear that your financial coach—which is me—told you not to answer any more of their nosy questions. Make sure they understand that your offer of $3,000 stands as a settlement of the debt today. If they’re willing to accept the offer, get a statement in writing saying that the $3,000 represents payment in full before you cut the check. If they choose not to accept your offer, and they keep asking questions that are none of their business, just tell them to call back when they’re willing to discuss terms.Then, hang up! —Dave

ultimately losing his job. Remember throughout your conversations that these consequences are his choice! Make it clear to him that you respect whatever decisions he makes regarding his new knowledge about behavior and consequences. Emphasize that you know he will let you know whether there is a match between what this job requires and what he is willing to do.Then let the chips fall. The beauty of this approach to parenting and to management is you are no longer the bad guy or gal.You have the power to determine all the boundaries and expectations, but your employee has the power to keep or lose the job. Next time your employee cruises past an office speed bump, the only one who will get hurt is him.As I have often told my kids,“Suffering is the great teacher of youth!”Take yourself

out of the cycle of useless arguments. Let your employee suffer and decide whether he is ready to grow up.

Last word(s) Q. I feel insecure all the time at my office. I try to read between the lines, read body language and guess at what people think of my work, but I don’t know if I’m right. Is there any surefire way to know what people think of my work? A. Yes, ask! Making up information without concrete data makes all human beings feel insecure.

District 66 to hold Common Core information sessions School District 66 will be hosting Parent and Community Information Sessions related to the new Common Core State Standards. The same presentation will be given on three different dates this summer. The first session was held at Lakeview Jr. High School from 7 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 18. The next two sessions will be held Wednesday, July 17 and Thursday, Aug. 1. This past school year, district teachers and staff spent a significant amount of time participating in professional development and curriculum writing activities related to the new Common Core State Standards. These standards will drive instruction for K-12 students in the district. An important next step is to help parents and community members develop a deeper understanding of the Common Core Standards. The agenda for each of these informational sessions will include: Why the Common

Core; Research and Data; Design and Process; Key Shifts for English/Language Arts; Key Shifts for Mathematics; Course Sequence and alignment; PARCC Assessment Timeline; Parent Resources; and a Q & A. Parents should attend one of the upcoming sessions to stay well informed about what’s going on in District 66 schools.

Progressive Village Performance Network to perform ‘Annie’ The Progressive Village Performance Network, brings one of the most beloved and popular musicals, “Annie” to the city of Westmont, on the weekends of June 21 to 23 and 28 to 30. “It is the biggest project that this young theatre group has taken on, and everything has clicked and fit together,” said Robert Plowman, president of PVPN. “Other than the talent on stage, it is the talent of the production staff that will make this show. “Watching the wealth of talent with all different types of experiences has been inspiring. We have a new director and choreographer, with experienced musical director, orchestra conductor, and producers who are feeding off each other and sharing their talents. This is what this organization is about… giving those community theatre regulars a place to perform, while mentoring those that are the newbies.” Inspired from the comic strip Little Orphan Annie, which ran back in the depression era, the seven-time, award winning musical,“Annie” debuted in 1977. “Annie” received awards for Best Musical, Best Book, Best Original Score (Charles Strouse wrote the music with Martin Charmin writing the lyrics), and Best Choreography. Bob Mackert will produce the show and Emily Bandza will make her directorial debut. Sarah Mims Moran adds the smart Choreography, while Cathy DeLanoy, newly retired

music teacher at Westmont Junior High, takes on the role of Musical Director. Music will be performed by the Westmont Community Band, led by Hank Vaughn.

Inheritance, tapping retirement savings By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

Every few months, I like to use this space to empty out the inbox and answer some reader questions. And just a reminder: If you have a financial question or a comment about a recent column, send it to askjill@ jillonmoney.com. And if you would like to be a guest on my syndicated radio show, call 1-855-411-JILL. Q. My ex-husband’s father died recently and left six of his grown grandchildren $40,000 each, but his two grandchildren from my marriage were excluded (due to the messiness of my divorce). The cousins want to reduce their inheritances and include my children, but I am worried that this may not be legal. What are your thoughts? - Patty A.You are smart to recognize that a will is a legal document, but this is actually not a legal issue. Some might say that it

is heresy to mess with the deceased’s wishes, but let’s deal with the mechanics first. Once the money is distributed from the estate to the six adult grandchildren, it is theirs to do with what they please. If one wants to blow the amount on a car, so be it. Similarly, if all six chose to give $10,000 each to anyone, including your grown kids, it is perfectly legitimate. (The IRS annual gift tax exclusion is $14,000 annually, so there would be no gift tax applied to these gifts.) If just three of the six want to be generous, that’s fine - there does not need to be consensus. It may not be exactly what grandpa wanted, but it is a pretty cool demonstration of cousinly love. Q. With regard to selfinsuring for long-term care, does net worth mean with or without the house you live in? - Joan A. For most planning issues like long-term care (LTC) or

retirement needs analysis, I suggest excluding the equity in your home. As we all learned during the last downturn, selling an illiquid asset like a home can be difficult. Also, many people would prefer to stay in their homes, even if they were afflicted with a long-term illness. That said: If you are single and are willing to sell your home to enter a facility, you could include the home as part of the planning process. One more note about a recent LTC column: Alan correctly pointed out that I omitted New York Life as a quality provider of LTC insurance. Q. I am 68 years old and will retire at the end of the year. I have three different “pots” of savings, with roughly equal amounts: my 401(k), a Roth IRA and a regular investment account. Does it matter which account I draw from to supplement my Social Security income? - Jerome

A. Sometimes it can be easier to accumulate retirement savings than to figure out how to actually tap the money when you need it. Remember to keep at least one year’s worth of expenses sacrosanct in a safe (read: boring and low interest) account, like a savings, checking or short-term CD. The emergency reserve fund should be in a non-retirement account. You should then plan on depleting the pots as follows: non-retirement accounts first, followed by employer-based retirement accounts and IRAs, and lastly, Roth IRAs.The theory is based on taxation: the nonretirement funds have already been subjected to income tax, so using them may mean liquidating and paying capital gains rates, but those rates are lower than income tax rates. Retirement assets come next because Uncle Sam will force you to withdraw funds starting after age 70 1/2 anyway (these

funds have not yet been taxed at either the federal or state levels). Roth IRAs should come last because you have paid all of the taxes due. If you are fortunate enough not to need your Roth IRA funds, they will pass to your heirs, free of income tax. Of course, if you have a total estate that is subject to federal or estate tax, your Roth IRA will be included as an estate asset. Now, keep those questions coming - I really do enjoy hearing from you!
