Chicago & Beyond Executive Director Bonnie Heimbach speaks of the local economic impact of ‘heads in beds’ and ‘feets in sheets’ at last week’s Downers Grove Chamber of Commerce luncheon on tourism. Pictured from left to right are Chamber Executive Director Laura Crawford, Downers Grove Economic Development President Michael Cassa, Bonnie Heimbach, and Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully.

While one of the attractions of living in a small town or village is knowing your neighbors, shopkeepers, and fellow residents, villages are realizing the economic benefits tourism brings to their community.

In 2010, visitors to DuPage County generated $33.51 million in local tax receipts from travel revenue in 2010 with many local communities reaping the benefits, according to the Chicago & Beyond Regional Tourism office.

Local economic impact and job creation were among the topics discussed at last week’s Downers Grove Chamber of Commerce general membership breakfast titled “Capturing Tourism Dollars.”

“It would be difficult to

“We like the overnight visitors as it puts heads in beds and feets in sheets.”

Bonnie Heimbach, Chicago & beyond Regional Tourism executive director overstate the impact that visitors have on our local economy,” said Michael Cassa, Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation president. “Significant portions of those who eat in our restaurants, shop in our stores, and attend our events such as GroveFest are non-residents.

Lunch with the Chief Westmont’s new fire chief highlights key responsibilities of department at luncheon

By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

At a recent “Lunch with the Chief’ luncheon, Westmont’s new Fire Chief Dave Weiss highlighted the equipment operated at each station, the benefits of part-time firefighters and public safety programs, and the value of a lower ISO rating.

The “Lunch with the Chief’ was the June meeting of the Westmont Chamber or Commerce and Tourism.

Weiss was sworn in as the fire chief in early May to replace former Chief Frank Trout. In January, Trout retired following a charge of driving under the influence in December 2011. In February, he was acquitted of the DUI charge.

During a power point presentation, Weiss explained that the Westmont Fire Department provides fire and emergency medical services for all of Westmont as well as portions of unincorporated Hinsdale.

The Westmont Fire Department is compromised of two stations.

Station 1 also maintains the fire department’s headquarters, which are located at 6015 South Cass Ave. Station 2 is at 500 N. Cass Ave. According to Weiss, each station maintains at least one advanced life support ambulance and two 1,500 gallons per minute engines.

Station 1 operates two advanced life support ambulances, a 1,000 aerial platform truck, and a mobile command communications vehicle that is also used by the Westmont Police Department.

A 135-foot reserve aerial truck, a special operations squad and origin and cause vehicle are maintained at Station 2.

The Westmont Fire Department relies primarily on part-time staff with only limited full time. The only full-time staff members are the chief, fire prevention bureau director, emergency medical services director, administrative director and an administrative assistant. Part-time staff includes the deputy chief, six captains, 13 Lieutenants, 45 firefighters/EMTs, six inspectors and one training officer. The department contracts with 12 paramedics.

“The benefits for maintaining part-time employees are a very large cost savings to the village, the part-time employees receive no

benefits or retirements,”Weiss said.

“They are all covered by workers comp insurance with the village.

Currently, our part-time program saves the village about $2 million a year because if we were a full-time department then we would have to pay benefits and pensions.

“The disadvantages are the recruitment and retention of parttime personnel so we are always recruiting new personnel.”

Weiss explained how the department’s insurance service office rating of two is another cost benefit to the village.An ISO rating is how insurance companies evaluate the level of insurance needed based on the firefighting capabilities of individual communities. The ISO rating is from one to 10, with one being the best “To achieve a ISO one rating it requires to have a lot of personnel and to staff a lot of equipment,” Weiss said. “Based on the amount of calls Westmont has, currently we do not need to staff any more equipment, maybe adding a ambulance in the future, but that does not get you to ISO 1 rating.

Because of the economics state,we try to give the best service for the less amount of money needed.”

Some of the department’s

public programs include Citizens Fire Academy, kids safety camp, ‘Remember When’ program for seniors, annual third grade children’s safety house visits and the Community Emergency Response Team program. The fire department also offers CPR/AED training, blood pressure screening, first aid training and participates in school emergency drills.

“CERT members are groups of active residents that have received

special training for the purpose of enhancing their ability to recognize, respond to and recover from a major emergency affecting the Westmont Community,” Weiss said.“But, the CERT program is not intended to take the place of trained

first response personnel but rather supplement the capability.”

The CFA provides fire safety training for the home and workplace along with a better understanding of the department’s firefighting and rescue operations in a 10-week program. The CFA curriculum is divided into three areas: classroom participation, hands-on practical training and live fire-ground activities.

According to Weiss, the CFA Alumni Association is a volunteer organization established with the goal to providing information, assistance and guidance to the public. The alumni association also participates in volunteer and charitable activities within functions of the fire department in an effort to create a well-informed cross section of citizens in the community.

“The alumni association fundraises throughout the year to raise money in order to send one child to Burn Camp each year,” Weiss said. “The cost is $1,000 each year.

These ribbons were added to the troop flag, symbolizing the individuals that combine to create our unique troop. After they were bridged, they received key pendant necklace from their troop leader, Tondra Arenz. These necklaces symbolized “You’re the key to the future”, said co-leader, Edie Crowley.

Friday, May 18, several Girl Scout Troops joined each other and had the ultimate 100th anniversary bridging ceremony!

During this memorable community event Girl Scouts from the level Brownie to Ambassador were bridged to the next level of Girl Scouts. First, we had the Junior Troop 50258 help Brownie Troop 51357 fly up to be Juniors. Guided by their leaders, Diane Moca and Carissa Hunter they all got bridged, they said what they learned and enjoyed in their Brownie experience, and then said what they wanted to learn as a junior.

The Brownies, guided by their leaders wrote this down on an adorable paper owl and glued them to biodegradable balloons.

Then, they said “Fly up Brownie”

After the ceremony, we had a photo shoot and received more presents. The Brownies (now Juniors) gave us incredible flashlights that we could use this summer for Girl Scout Camp.

Bishop BOOM BRINGS THE

Minooka senior leads All-Area team

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

After playing football from age six, Minooka’s Rick Bishop made a decision to call it quits after his junior year to focus on volleyball – a decision some questioned.

“I was always the tall kid that could go up and catch the ball,” said Bishop, a wide receiver growing up.

However, after Bishop posted 293 kills and 70 blocks to lead Minooka to a fourth-place finish in the state, he proved to Indian nation he made the right choice.

For his accomplishments, Bishop was named 2012 Voyager Media Boys Volleyball Player of the Year.

Bishop said early in his career, the award and the state place seemed far from a reality.

“My dad played church league rec volleyball and I went with him before I was in high school and then I went out freshman year and I was garbage and everyone knew it,” Bishop said.“I was really bad.”

Bishop played summer league in that summer and his future came together.

“Somewhere between freshman and sophomore year, I just started to put the ball down.” Bishop said. “Something just clicked, I don’t know what happened. After that, everyone told me to play club so I had to quit football.”

Looking at his athletic career, Bishop decided if volleyball didn’t bring college offers, he would pick up his lost sports.

“After junior year of volleyball, I decided if I didn’t get offers, I would quit club and play basketball and football,” he said.

But then Lewis University came calling.

While the Romeoville-based Flyers are NCAA Division II in most sports, they are a Division-I national powerhouse in men’s volleyball.

This season, in fact, Lewis was the No. 3 seed in the NCAA

11

Final Four and was eliminated by the USC, the top team in the country.

“I watched the games online and I couldn’t believe I am playing there next year,” Bishop said. “Hopefully, I will be playing on that court next year and hopefully starting.”

Bishop said he knows some of the players from high school and club, as well as playing with some of them in open gyms since signing with Lewis.

“It is a whole different game,” he said. “High school is competitive, but that is crazy.”

Other members of the 2012 Voyager Media All-Area team are:

SCOTTY ADAMCZYK Adamczyk, a four-year varsity player and threeyear starter, compiled 295 kills, 203 digs and 53 blocks in his first season as an outside hitter for Maine South (he played libero his three previous varsity seasons).

He’ll be playing volleyball for NCAA Division III powerhouse Carthage College. Scotty’s older brother, Teddy, led the Hawks to the 2006 state championship.

“He’s really stepped it up,” said Maine South coach Gary Granell.

“He’s a go-to guy; we counted on him for big points.”

NATHAN CELINSKI Celinski had 198 kills, 80 blocks and a .251 hitting percentage for Niles West.

“Nathan has been a key contributor this season,” Niles West coach Drew Roche said.“He can handle See ALL-AREA, page 12

ALL-AREA Continued from page 11 himself well in all facets of the game. With his contributions the team has compiled (more than) 20 wins.

After two seasons on the varsity level, Nathan has left his mark in the Niles West record books.

DAVID COLDEA Maine East libero totaled 460 digs and 24 aces on the season. “ L a s t season as a junior David earned the starting Libero position in the first week of the season,” Maine East coach Jon Kulesza said.

“David has been spectacular ever since. He was a CSL AllConference player last year as a junior and has raised his level of play more this year. He has earned All-Tournament Honors at the Libertyville Invite the last two seasons and is now the school record holder in career and season digs.”

JONATHAN COLDEA The senior led the team with 540 assists and 33 aces, while finishing second with 135 digs for Maine East.

“He can do most anything on a volleyball court,” Kulesza said. “He can pass, set, hit, block, dig, and serve. He is a truly complete player. However, his setting ability has carried our team to its current record. He gets everyone involved in the offense, yet recognizes who the hot hitter is and feeds him.”

BRIAN EDWARDS Joliet West senior totaled 220 kills, 108 blocks and 15 aces on the season.

“He is a senior middle hitter who has led us in blocks and kills the past two seasons,” Joliet West coach Jason Hermann said. “He has

been on varsity the past three years and came second in those categories his sophomore year behind Bryan Saunders (now playing Division 1 at IPFW).

Brian is an explosive player with great jumping ability and hits a slide like no-one else in our conference. He is a respected and feared middle by many teams. He is a great student as well. He is in the top ten percent in our school and received many senior recognitions for academics this year.”

MATT GARVEY G ra n e l l summed up the importance of Garvey’s play throughout the 2012 season this way for Maine South: “The worse we passed sometimes, the better he set,” he said.“He’s a good floor leader and distributes the ball well. He was our quarterback.”

Garvey amassed over 750 assists and added 164 digs and 57 blocks to go along with 45 aces.

Ladowski tallied 292 kills and 161 digs for the year.

“He had his best season ever this year,” said Benet coach Amy Van Eekeren. “He’s a key for us on passing and defense, but has really stepped up into a more aggressive hitting role this season.”

MATTHEW PELOQUIN A senior setter from Bolingbrook, Peloquin helped the Raiders to their first regional championship appearance and finished with 448 assists and 33 aces for the season.

“Matt has demonstrated leadership on and off the court this season,” Bolingbrook coach Andrea Bercot said. “He has put in the work year round and is one of the team’s most consistent players.

His hard work has earned him a scholarship to DII school, Alderson-Broadus in West Virginia.”

CODY SWANSON Plainfield Central’s senior setter had 445 assists to go along with 88 blocks and 89 kills.

“As a senior captain and setter, Cody has a lot of control

over the court,” Central coach Katie Prast said.“He likes to attack the ball and is aggressive at the net with dumps and blocks. His blocks help to get his teammates fired up.”

J.P. TULACKA At 6-feet, 6-inches tall, Tulacka was a dominant middle blocker for Downers Grove North, d e s p i t e missing 10 games with an ankle sprain.

He will continue his career at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

“He is one of the most dominate middle blockers in the state,” Wasik said. “In fact, I have not seen a more dominant middle than J.P. this year other than possibly, the middle from Glenbrook South.

“I experimented with J.P. as an outside hitter which is a testament of his versatility and overall skill as a defensive player.”

Wiffleball coming to suburbs

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

In recent years men’s softball leagues have taken off in the summer.

Next up, it might be wiffleball.

No, this isn’t your kids wiffleball, it is fastpitch wiffleball and it has already taken off on the east coast.

Now, former Bolingbrook Raider, Aurora University and Will County CrackerJack player Anthony Buonamici is looking to bring it to the Chicagoland area.

“This wiffleball league was an idea of mine, and now it is ready to go from a dream to a reality,” Buonamici said.“All of the fixings as far as field necessities as ready to go, and I have a rather large following. (There are) 40 to 50 guys alone that are close friends or baseball teammates of mine, and this does not include all of their friends. Anyone who is willing to participate can. We have kids who are 16 willing to play, as well as men in their 30s looking to get a piece of the action as well.“ The official website for the league is currently under construction but they are on Facebook at Facebook.com/ illinoiswiffleballleague.

The games are fast pitch with four to five guys on each team.

There are very specific rules for the game.

As Buonamici said, the equipment used to make the field, such as the backstop and strikezone, are unique as well, and it gives the game special characteristics.

The game has grown on the east coast and there are video clips of it on Youtube and by searching Google, where Buonamici got his idea from.

“What sparked this interest is a league on the east coast,” he said. “They go by the name of Golden Stick Wiffleball. They take wiffleball seriously, and they are the authority when it comes to having fun while being competitive at the same time in the game of wiffleball.

I reached out to their league president and we had talks of possibly having a midwest region be a part of their league, and opening up something really big to the Chicago suburbs, but their demands as far as fees per player were just set too high.

Those guys on the east coast are hungry for money.”

Those high fees are what made Buonamici decide to try and start it up himself.

“On my own, I can bring all the participants the game they love at the intensity they want, without imposing a large fee to do so,” he stated. “I may not see much money, but seeing the looks on these people’s faces is what I really want to gain out of this. There are a couple videos on Youtube through Golden Stick that can give you an idea of what I want this to turn into. Ultimately, I want to put wiffleball on the map, and I want upper Illinois to be the Mecca for that experience.”

Buonamici said his league will charge $45 per player, which includes registration fee and a Boombah jersey.

Mark Gregory/Bugle staff

Bolingbrook’s Anthony Buonamici is looking to bring a wiffleball league to the Chicago area.

Teams wishing to provide their own jerseys will pay only $15 per player, but the jersey must be approved by the league.

When all is said and done, Buonamici hopes that this is just the start of something special and something popular for

people to do in the summertime for the next several years.

“And at the end of the day, somewhere down the line several years from now, I want people to know where it all started,” Buonamici said.” Right here. And the people who were

there from day one are going to be able to say they were a part of something special.”

Business & Real Estate

Key to successful job hunt is tenacity Q. I’ve been unemployed for about a year and am ready to give up. Most jobs don’t even respond to my resume. When I do get an interview, I rarely get a call back and never get the job.

What is the point of continuing to hit my head against the brick wall of constant rejection?

A. The point of continuing to put yourself in a position to get a job is that sooner or later you will land a new position. You are correct that the price is a high level of discomfort caused by your feelings of disappointment and rejection.

You have every emotional reason to feel like giving up.

However, if you stop trying, you’ll only guarantee you’ll definitely not get a job.

The upside of failure is that you have a chance to take new approaches you haven’t tried.

Perhaps one of your challenges is that the way you are applying for jobs could be more efficient.

Job seekers sometimes don’t avail themselves of free government resources that can help them with everything from polishing resumes to identifying

job leads. Don’t overlook the tools available at your unemployment office and resources such as government Wo r k S o u r c e offices.

If you aren’t sure where to turn, do Internet searches in your area for free or government-sponsored services for people who are unemployed.

And be willing to accept help.

Another mistake I see my unemployed clients make is that they are embarrassed to tell everyone they know they are having trouble finding a job. The truth is most people feel like a hero if they can help you find a job. If you hide that you need help, you’re missing the critical resource of your community supporting your job search.

If you don’t have people you can talk to about being demoralized, put up a support group announcement at your unemployment office. Get a few people that you can meet with

regularly and vent. You will feel more encouraged when you see other people suffering with the same challenges. You will also get good ideas from each other.

The good news in your situation is that you are actually getting interviews. Make sure when you go on interviews that you use a tool I call “Workplace Theater.” Do not, under any conditions, use the interview as a place to express your frustration.

Instead, imagine you’ve been hired for a role in a play. The role is a successful job applicant.

Now behave exactly as an actor would if he or she was going to get this job.

You won’t do yourself any favors by moping into interviews and acting like you expect this panel will also reject you. If you act well, no one evaluating you can read your mind. If you look demoralized, you’ll create a selffulfilling prophecy. The irony is that it won’t be your skill set that keeps you unemployed but the fact you’re acting dejected.

If you read biographies of most people who have reached exceptional goals in the

workplace, you’ll notice one habit they all have in common: tenacity. Successful people cultivate the ability to withstand enormous amounts of rejection while they keep taking the risk to get what they want.

To comfort yourself in the meantime, remember that once you have your new job, you won’t be focusing on all the jobs that turned you down. You will be grateful you didn’t drop out of the game, and will focus on thriving in your new company.

The last word(s) Q. Every week, I watch people in my company suffer rather than change their approaches.

Is there a reason people are so stubborn?

A. Yes, they aren’t stubborn - they are more afraid of the unknown than of their current suffering.

Real estate as retirement income

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

Is the real estate market a good investment for retirement? I haven’t fielded that question in at least five years, but over the past six weeks, I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are reconsidering real estate as a source of steady income.

Let’s start with the numbers.

After experiencing a massive bubble from 2000-’06 (no, it’s not normal for prices to double over the course of seven years), real estate cratered. Prices dropped almost 35 percent from peak levels, and in some areas, like Florida and Las Vegas, the damage was far worse.

Now, a full six years from the peak, recent housing data indicates that a bottoming process is occurring across the country. Existing home sales in April rose 3.4 percent from the previous month to the highest level in almost two years and 10 percent above year-ago levels.

Adding to the case that the market is bottoming, inventory

is down 20.6 percent from a year ago. In Econ 101, reduced inventory means less downward pressure on prices.

Similar results were seen in new home sales, which rose 3.3 percent from the previous month, almost 10 percent from year-ago levels and 25 percent from the lows. Still, there’s still a long way to go before we see a “normal” housing market. The total level of sales is historically weak and 2012 will probably be the third worst year on record after 2011 and 2010. However, historically low mortgage rates are helping the market by making the cost of ownership more affordable, assuming that the buyer can qualify.

Sensing this opportunity, many are wondering whether a jump into the rental market can boost retirement savings and income. The answer is yes, with a few important caveats. Buyers must have realistic expectations, starting with a long-term time horizon and recognition that the days of “flipping” a house to score a big profit are gone.

In fact, in the early going, many

properties may just break even.

The goal is for the owner to be mortgage-free and to collect a steady stream of income.

Additionally, securing a mortgage for rental property has changed dramatically since the bubble years. “No money down” loans are nonexistent; today, lenders generally require a deposit of 30 percent. Even with that chunk of equity, mortgage rates for rental properties are higher than for owner-occupied residences.

One way to defray some of the cost of owning incomeproducing properties is to use their favorable tax treatment.

The Internal Revenue Service allows you to claim depreciation on your property over 27.5 years, which is a way to spread the cost of an asset over a period of time. Here’s how it works:

You can offset a portion of your rental income by the cost basis of your rental property (what you paid for the property plus improvements, but not the land) divided by 27.5. While this is just one way to defray taxable income, note that depreciation is a way to defer taxation, not escape it.

The IRS imposes taxes on depreciation when you sell the property, which is known as “recapture.” You can defer recapture by using proceeds from the property to purchase a new one via a 1031 exchange but you must follow strict rules to comply. Additionally, if you own the property until death, your heirs will not be subject to recapture.

If the ability to create a steady stream of income with favorable tax treatment seems too good

to be true, it is. Being a landlord requires hard work. No amount of screening will prevent you from encountering a horrible renter or a midnight call about some problem. If you don’t want to be involved at that level, you’ll have to hire a management company, which will obviously eat into your cash flow.

Finally, remember that real estate is an illiquid asset. Be sure to have access to sufficient liquid assets before you become a landlord.
