Bagpipes help Westmont teen battling cancer

By Vikaas Shanker For the Bugle

VIKAAS SHANKER/BUGLE CONTRIBUTOR

Bagpipe band organizer Joe Coakley gives Emily Wheeler Chicago Blackhawks memorabilia after the parade Saturday afternoon at her Westmont home. Emily’s father, Steve Wheeler, said Emily is a big Blackhawks and Chicago Cubs fan.

Emily Wheeler thought a school band was practicing when she heard the drones of bagpipes down the street from her Westmont home Saturday afternoon.

But when her mother took her outside, she saw a fire truck driver wave to her as he led a group of bagpipers, drummers and dancers to her house. Wheeler beamed in surprise.

“Oh, my gosh! What is happening,” Emily said when the band of about 40 musicians turned to face her.

Wheeler has been battling Choroid Plexus Carcinoma, a rare form of brain cancer, for the past two years. So to lift her spirits, members of the Midwest Pipe Band Association, Thistle and Heather Highland Dancers of Chicagoland and Westmont community volunteered their time to serenade the high school freshman.

“I thought it was for another person,” she said. When her mother took her outside, Wheeler was greeted with a sign that said, “The Emily Wheeler Pipes & Drums.”

Woodridge Village Board approves DGPL announces Union Pointe Business Park phase 2 construction manager for renovation project The Woodridge Village Board approved Phase 2 of the Union Pointe Business Park during its Aug. 8 meeting. Phase 1 of the business park (Edward Don) was approved by the village in 2011.

Phase 2 includes a 435,778 square-foot office/warehouse building, along with associated parking lot and site improvements on 19.84 acres located at the northeast quadrant of the business park (north of Murphy Road and west of Woodward Avenue).

The first 353,278 square feet of the building will be constructed initially, with the remaining 82,500 square feet to be a future expansion.

As approved, the building is

setback 110 feet from Woodward Avenue and 78 feet from the northern property line.

Additionally, an approximate fivefoot berm will be located along the Woodward Avenue property line to provide additional screening from the homes to the east.

Phase 2 will also include the extension of the business park’s internal access road, Adam Don Parkway, north from Edward Don to Murphy Road to serve all semitruck traffic entering and exiting the park. As required with the 2011 Union Pointe Business Park approvals, all semi-truck traffic for the entire business park is required to use the Adam Don Parkway/ Woodward Avenue intersection to

enter and exit the business park.

Semi-truck traffic is not permitted to enter or exit the site at Murphy Road or the proposed future access across from Westminster Drive.

The tenant for the new building is Orbus, an exhibit and display company that manufactures and supplies an extensive range of portable exhibits, display products and solutions to the tradeshow industry. Orbus will be relocating their existing warehousing and corporate headquarters to this location bringing approximately 280 jobs to Woodridge.

For more information on the development, visit the Village’s website at www. vil.woodridge.il.us or sign up to receive notifications regarding development projects being considered by the Plan Commission by going to www.vil. woodridge.il.us/list.aspx.

The Downers Grove Public Library Board of Trustees announced the selection of Shales McNutt Construction as Construction Manager for the library’s upcoming renovation project.

The selection was made after a thorough interview process and evaluation of qualifications at the Library Board’s Aug.14 special meeting.

SMC serves northern Illinois and specializes in the diverse construction needs of institutional, governmental, and industrial organizations.

Recent projects include the Arlington Heights, Elgin, and Barrington public library

renovations.

“The construction manager is responsible for taking the design as determined by the architects, the budget as determined by the Board, and the project results as determined by the planning process, and bringing them all together for a successful project,” Library Director Rick Ashton said. “The library looks forward to benefitting from SMC’s expertise in these areas.”

Junior Woman’s Club accepts clothes to help returning workers

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

The Woodridge Junior Woman’s Club is helping men and women who are interested in getting back into the workforce obtain the business and professional attire necessary to have a winning interview.

The organization is currently collecting suits, dresses, blouses, shirts, ties, purses, shoes, briefcases, jewelry, winter coats and boots for children and adults who cannot afford these items.

“There are a couple different organizations we donate these items to,” said Mary Ann Frank, co-president of the Woodridge Junior Woman’s Club.

“We work with Poised for Success, which is based in Lombard, and a similar organization in Chicago that is called Bridges to Success.”

Poised for Success collects business clothing for women who cannot afford professional clothing, which can be costly. The organization also has programs for women trying to get back into the work force. Bridges to Success provides similar services to atrisk, low-income men and women in Chicago.

Frank said that the coats and winter attire go to the West suburban Community Pantry, which tries to maintain a small supply of coats for people that need them.

“Any thing else we get, we give to Family Shelter Services to sell at their resale shops,” Frank said.

Items can be dropped off between 6:45 and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3, in the Clubhouse at the Retreat at Seven Bridges, 6690 Double Eagle Drive.

However, Frank said anyone who cannot make that time should call and

arrange a time convenient for them to drop off any clothing they are able to donate.

For more information on donating to the Woodridge Junior Woman’s Club, call 630-890-1585. For more information on Poised for Success, visit www.poisedforsuccess.org. For more information on Bridges to Success, visit www.thebridgetosuccess.org.

The club is also inviting all women in the community to join them for their first meeting of the year at 6:45 p.m. Sept. 3. The meeting will cover planning for the community in the upcoming year.

“This is an opportunity for women to see what the Woodridge Junior Woman’s Club is all about,” Frank said. “We’re a diverse group of women that enjoy helping our community. We encourage anyone who shares that interest to come see what it’s all about.

Downers Grove man charged in DUI crash that injured two teens A Downers Grove man has been charged in a crash Sunday evening that injured two Downer’s Grove teens, according to DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin.

Jamie Delara-Rodriguez, 25, 800 block of Ogden Avenue, appeared in bond court Tuesday morning charged with one count of aggravated DUI causing great bodily harm, a Class 4 Felony.

Judge Elizabeth Sexton set bond at $200,000 with 10 percent to apply. The state had requested a bond of $1 million.

It is alleged that on Aug. 11, at approximately 6:30 p.m., DelaraRodriguez was driving his vehicle southbound on Meyers Road in Oak Brook. It is further alleged that Delara-Rodriguez drove his vehicle over the center median and crashed his vehicle head

on into a vehicle occupied by Connor Dimmick and Meghan Landry, both eighteen years-old.

Following the crash, DelaraRodriguez, Dimmick and Landry were all transported to a local hospital. An investigation into the crash revealed that DelaraRodriguez’s BAC was allegedly .178.

“Once again we see a horrific crash allegedly caused by drunk driving,”Berlin said.“Thankfully no lives were lost. However, the lives of the victims have undoubtedly been changed as they were both preparing to begin college this fall. It is well known that alcohol can impair your ability to operate a motor vehicle. The motoring public has to learn that if you have been drinking do not get behind the wheel of your car.

“Do the responsible thing and

call a friend or taxi to get home don’t risk your life or the lives of others. I would like to thank the Oak Brook Police Department for their work on this case. I would also like to thank Assistant State’s Attorney Robert Stanker for his extended efforts on this case.”

Delara-Rodriguez‘s next court appearance is scheduled for September 9, in front of Judge Robert Kleeman. If found guilty, he faces a possible prison sentence of up to twelve years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt.The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Sheriff calls for zero tolerance in school zones It’s “back to school” time in DuPage County and DuPage County Sheriff John Zaruba is launching the annual “Back to School Safety Strategy.”

The campaign started Aug. 19 with a “Zero Tolerance in School Zones” enforcement period that will continue for a month.

According to a Sheriff’s Office

press release, the campaign is designed to protect children of all ages and to show motorists that driving recklessly around children will not be tolerated. The goal is driver compliance not punitive enforcement.

Sheriff’s deputies will be stationed in school zones to enforce speed limits, cell phone use, seat belt use, child safety restraint laws, passing stopped school buses, reckless driving behavior and other traffic laws.

Deputies will be aggressively enforcing traffic laws in all school zones in the morning, during the lunch hour, and in the afternoon as children are being picked up. Following the monthlong campaign, deputies will aggressively continue to patrol

school zones throughout the year.

“The idea behind this traffic safety campaign is to raise public awareness about the dangers of driving recklessly in school zones and to remind people that school speed zones exist for a reason, to protect our children,” Zaruba said.

One component of Sheriff Zaruba’s safety strategy is his annual Safety Saturday Fair that will be held Saturday, Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the DuPage County Fairgrounds on Manchester Road in Wheaton.

Sheriff Zaruba organized the event in 1997 in an effort to heighten public awareness about safety and promote positive interaction between emergency services organizations and DuPage County residents. Most exhibits are designed to teach families about safety and crime prevention. “We want kids to have fun while they are learning about safety,” Sheriff Zaruba said. “Safety Saturday is a great way for families to spend time together and interact in a positive way with police officers and emergency personnel.”

“Our back to school safety program isn’t about arresting people and writing tickets,” Zaruba said, “it is about teaching our children how to keep themselves safe while reminding drivers of their responsibility to not only drive safely, but to keep our children and our communities safe.”

DuPage County Jail earns ACA reaccreditation The DuPage County Correctional Facility has once again earned accredited status from the American Correctional Association last weekend in National Harbor, M.D., when members of the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office accepted the formal award of reaccreditation.

In June, a team of three assessors from ACA spent three

days at the Sheriff’s Office examining the jail’s policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services.

“My congratulations to all of the men and women in our Corrections Bureau who work hard on a daily basis to ensure that this jail can be held up as one of the finest in the

nation,” Sheriff John Zaruba said. “The people of DuPage County should be proud that their jail has once again been recognized as complying with national standards that ensure we strike the proper balance between protecting the public, and providing an environment that safeguards the life, health, and safety of both our staff and

Benet reloads, looks for a three-peat

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

After losing key players before last season’s team, there were some who questioned if the Benet girls volleyball team could rebound and have a successful season.

All the Redwings did was post a 40-2 record and claim the Class 4A state championship for the second straight season.

After graduating several players from last season’s team, the question lies again if Benet can reload and have the same success.

“With so many people graduating we will have many people doubting that we can be good,” said Benet coach Brad Baker. “This team is very motivated to prove the doubters wrong”.

Baker said the Redwings will not approach this season any different than they have in the past.

“Our goals and attitude going into this season are the same as every season,” he said.“The girls expect to be great and have worked hard to give this team a chance to be just that.”

The Redwings return senior middle Brittany Pavich.

The 6-foot, 2-inch middle is committed to play next season at Boston College.

“She is one of the best middles in the state and one of the best offensive players in the state,” Baker said.

They also return junior Racheal Fara, a 6-2 middle who is already committed to Northwestern.

“She will be a dominant player and is one of the best middles in the state,” Baker said.

Also returning is 5-6 libero Caroline Wolfe, who is committed to Wake Forest.

“She is the next great libero to

play for us,” Baker said. “She is a high energy player who defends and serve receives at an elite level.”

Also returning is 5-8 junior outside hitter Natalie Canulli, who will play libero at Penn State.

Benet will again face a difficult schedule, including its own invite on Aug. 30 and 31. The tournament includes the likes of York, Hinsdale Central, Neuqua Valley, Waubonsie, Moline, Lemont and West Aurora.

DOWNERS NORTH The Downers Grove North team will return a young, but experienced group from an 1818 season last season.

“We will be young with only three seniors,” said North coach Mark Waskik. “However, seven of our players have a year or more of varsity experience.

Hopefully our ball control and middle attack will be strength in addition to Katherine Mahlke’s offense as she is one of the top players in the country.”

Mahlke, a 6-2 senior is committed to Michigan for next season.

She will be joined by returners, 5-9 junior outside hitter Grace Larson, 5-7 sophomore setter Mary Helen Beacom and 5-10 sophomore middle blocker Madison Sturm.

New to the team this season will be junior libero Selene Ushela and 6-4 sophomore middle blocker Lexi May. North will look to again compete for a West Suburban Conference Silver Division title.

“The WSC Silver is always a strong volleyball conference and while last year was a down year, most teams return the majority of their starters,”Wasik See RELOADS, page 15

Redwings looking to repeat as ESCC champs

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

Stellar defensive play was the cornerstone of Benet’s march to an East Suburban Catholic Conference championship, a spotless 8-0 conference record, a regional title and 11 shutouts during 2012.

Graduation has taken a key component of those 11 shutouts, goalkeeper Kyle DalSanto, and the Redwings (18-4-1 overall last season) also will miss forward Brad Bozych. But Benet returns a wealth of experience, particularly through its midfield, so repeating as conference champs is a very attainable goal.

One notable change in this season’s lineup will be junior Kyle Kenagy, a defensive starter since his freshman year, moving from outside defender to a target forward. Kenagy will be joined up front by returning senior Eddie Manzke.

“We expect his speed, athletic ability and relentless drive to

lead to many opportunities in the final third (of the field),” Redwings coach Sean Wesley said.

Benet has one of the better corps of midfielders in the area, led by senior all-conference performers Sam Knapke and Paddy Lawler, the team’s secondleading scorer last season.

Senior Michael Rindler provides experience and depth to the Redwings’ midfield, as well.

“Sam Knapke will play a huge role in the middle controlling our defensive shape and starting our counterattacking style,” Wesley said.

The Redwings’ main focus going into the season will be to get their defensive lineup and goalkeeping squared away.

Wesley said he is counting on seniors Jack Armonda, Adian Madden, Bobby Smith and Theo Athanassiades to earn starting spots on defense.

“We will need to get consistency out of our Scott Taylor/Bugle Staff

Several locals worth watching in the fall

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The prep football season gets under way next weekend, but boys and girls golf is already going strong, and other sports such as soccer and tennis will start competing before the Friday Night Lights’ switch is flipped on.

There’s plenty of star power to be found outside the hash marks and sidelines of the gridiron. Here are 10 nonfootball athletes from schools in its coverage area (listed in alphabetical order) who will undoubtedly make some noise in their respective sports before all is said and done this fall: •Maggie Arndt, senior, Westmont girls cross country— Arndt is the lone holdover

from the Sentinels’ 2011 squad that finished second in the state. She placed 52nd overall that year and improved to 42nd place at last year’s meet.

During the start of last season, Westmont struggled to fill out a team. Hopefully that won’t be the case this year, but Arndt will be at the top of the Sentinels’ roster, regardless of numbers.

•Andrew Bassetto, sophomore, Benet boys golf—Bassetto didn’t qualify individually for state last year, but he’s a strong candidate to do so this season. Bassetto’s got quite a resume. In July 2012, he won the Naperville Junior City Championship C-Flight for 14and 15-year-olds after shooting an eyebrow-raising 65. At last year’s Class 3A Naperville Central regional, Bassetto fired a 2-under par 70—just one

stroke behind Naperville North product Raymond Knoll, who placed third at state.

•Eric Diaz, junior midfielder, Downers South boys soccer— Diaz shared the team lead in goals with eight last year, was named all-conference and was an Illinois High School Soccer Coaches Association All-Sectional pick. He and the Mustangs will be aiming to go deeper in the playoffs after making it to a regional final last year.

•Brianna Gilley, senior outside hitter, Westmont girls volleyball—The captain of the Sentinels’ girls soccer team last spring also will be a catalyst for Westmont on the volleyball court once again. Gilley gave the Sentinels a lift in their 2012 See LOCALS, page 14

LOCALS Continued from page 13 Class 2A regional title victory over rival Lisle with eight digs. She also served eight straight points during Game 1. The Sentinels compiled a 24-9 record and made it to the sectional semifinals.

•Jon Harmon, junior forward, Lisle boys soccer—The Lions, who advanced to the Class 1A sectional championship last fall and were state runners-up in 2011, will need someone to step up and help fill the void left by the graduation of goalscoring machine Eric Osika.

Harmon could be that player.

•Katherine Mahlke, senior right-side hitter, Downers North—Mahlke was being recruited by Ohio State and Marquette, among others, but has verbally committed to the University of Michigan.

Considered one of the best right-side hitters in the area last season after compiling over 270 kills, she’ll not relinquish that distinction this year. The

lefty will be a go-to player and leader on a Trojans’ team that should make a deeper postseason run this season.

•Brittany Pavich, senior middle hitter, Benet girls volleyball—The Redwings have lost a plethora of seniors from their two-time defending Class 4A state championship team, but Pavich returns and will be a force once again. The Boston College recruit accumulated over 280 kills and 40 blocks for the season.

•Gabby Sims, senior, Downers North swimming— The Sims family is synonymous with swimming excellence.

Burke and Haley Sims, both former state champions, are at Stanford, but Gabby may be the best of the clan.A multiple state qualifier and state champion, Gabby took the state 100-yard backstroke title in 2011 and was the state champ last year in the 100 freestyle.

She also finished second to state and national recordholder Olivia Smoliga in the backstroke last November.

Smoliga has since graduated, opening the door for Gabby

Sports to take back the backstroke crown.

Additionally, she teamed up with her twin sister, Maddy, to form the Trojans’ 400 freestyle relay, which captured fourth in 2012.

•Zach Smith, senior, Downers North cross country—The Trojans, usually a shoo-in to qualify downstate as a team, missed going the past two seasons, but they should make a strong push to qualify this year, led by Smith. Smith motored to an eight-place overall finish at the 2012 meet.

He owns the third-fastest time among all returning Class 3A state runners.

•Leah Tzakis, senior, Benet girls tennis—A state qualifier in 2010, Tzakis missed the cut as a sophomore, but moved up from No. 2 to No. 1 singles last season and returned to state, where she advanced to the fifth consolation round. In July, she competed at the G18’s USTA Regional Segment in St. Louis as a doubles player, advancing to the semifinals. Her sister, Coco, was the Redwings’ No. 2 singles player in 2012. mike@buglenewspapers.com

DOWNERS NORTH Downers North coach Brian Gervase will be fielding a young team in 2013 after graduating eight senior starters from last year’s 9-10-2, 2-4 club.

Yet Gervase says the squad’s summer trip to Europe—in which they traveled to Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, and finished with a 2-1 record— gave the Trojans a lift.

Defenders Jake Maurer and Tony Zea, forward Andrew Zea and goalkeeper Ray Grecco—all seniors—are the Trojans’ top returning players. Juniors Mike Molloy (forward), Brett Pyburn (defender) and Jake Stevenson (midfielder) will be contributors in their first varsity seasons.

Not only in conference, but the Trojans will have a difficult schedule throughout the season.

Jordan Pawlicki, a three-year varsity starter, is the Mustangs’ top forward, while Scott Holakovsky anchors the defense.

Both are seniors. Senior Nick King may replace Tannenbaum in the nets, and senior Derek Griesheim will be in the mix defensively.

“With the addition of several newcomers who have shown significant individual growth in the off-season, this year’s team looks to be competitive,” coach Jon Stapleton said.

LISLE Lisle has enjoyed great success over the past two years in Class 1A, reaching a sectional title game while going 16-7, 8-1, and finishing second in the state during 2011.

“This is a young team with a

Benet, Naperville Central, and Hinsdale South,” Wasik said.

“Thus, we should be well prepared for a great run in the state playoffs.”

Wasik said despite the new players on the team, he likes the way they are coming together.

Logano making a case for the Chase Add another name to the Chase conversation.

Joey Logano started Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from the pole, and after a convoluted mix of strategy and racing incidents, it was Logano who claimed the victory and established himself as a contender for a berth in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The victory was Logano’s first of the season, his first at Michigan, his first for Penske Racing and the third of his career. Kevin Harvick ran second, followed by Kurt Busch, Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer.

The victory moved Logano from 16th to 13th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings, 17 points out of 10 place.The youngest winner in MIS history also is in play for a Wild Card, with two spots available

to the drivers in positions 11-20 in the standings with the most victories.

“This is huge for our Chase hopes,” Logano said. “We needed this to have a shot at getting in the Chase. We’re close now, but we can’t make any mistakes.This sure does help a lot.”

Mark Martin took off after a restart on Lap 178, as Kurt Busch, Logano and Harvick battled for the second spot behind him. But Martin was short on field, and after the running order shuffled out with Logano in second and Harvick in third, the pursuers began to close in on the leader.

But Logano, 23, who came to the public eye as a 14-year-old with praise from the 54-year-old Martin, couldn’t make the pass for the lead, even though Martin was trying mightily to save fuel.

“I noticed he was lifting early,

because I was catching him on entry (into the corners),” Logano said. “He was able to pull me on exit. I wanted to get by him, because I knew the 29 (Harvick) was fast, too…

“It is so cool to be here in Victory Lane. It’s crazy racing Mark Martin, my childhood hero. I was able to race against him in Pocono last year for the win. It is so cool racing against a guy like that But when Martin slowed in Turn 3 on Lap 197 and brought

his car to pit road for fuel, Logano shot past him into the lead with Harvick in hot pursuit. Logano held the top spot for the final four laps and took the checkered flag by 1.018 seconds over the No. 29 Chevrolet.

To Harvick,the race was decided on the final restart. Harvick lined up inside Martin with Logano’s No. 22 Ford behind the No. 29 Chevy.

Series leader Jimmie Johnson couldn’t exorcise his Michigan

jinx. After wrecking his primary car in Saturday’s practice, Johnson started Sunday’s race from the rear of the field in a backup car.

He took the lead on Lap 43 during a cycle of green-flag pit stops, but shortly thereafter Johnson exited the race because of an engine failure.

After Sunday’s race, the two cars are tied for the final Wild Card spot, with the No. 56, driven by Martin Truex Jr. holding the tiebreaker based on quality of finishes.

A lighter take on a summer favorite Deep in the dog days of summer, one of the best ways to relax is to sit back and enjoy your favorite refreshing drink and a cooling snack. I won’t guess what your favorite summer drink might be, because there are so many to choose from. But I suspect that, at some time or other, many people will serve a bowl of guacamole and some chips.

Over the past few decades, the mashed-avocado dip called guacamole has become one of North America’s most popular dips.

That’s a very recent rise in popularity, considering that its history dates back some five centuries to the Aztec civilization in Mexico.

But avocados themselves only began

to make their way onto U.S. tables in any noticeable way around the 1950s; and even then, you would sometimes see the pearshaped green fruit, a staple of Mexican cuisine, being strangely described as “Indian butter.” Today, many of us love to spread avocado on thickly not just with chips, but also in salads, as featured ingredients or garnishes for appetizers and main dishes, and as sources of rich flavor and texture inside sandwiches.

Which leads to a dilemma, as it’s all too tempting to eat too much of that delicious, buttery-tasting ingredient.

Avocados are rich in fat, which provides almost three quarters of their

total calories. Yes, those fat calories come mostly from heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, but they’re fat nonetheless, and smart eaters usually aim to limit their total daily fat intake to a third or fewer of total calories. So, ideally, a little guacamole should be made to go a long way.

That’s one of the reasons behind the recipe I’d like to share with you today: my Edamame Guacamole. Even more of a newcomer to our tables, the steamed and usually chilled green soybeans known by their Japanese name, edamame, have become a widespread snack over the past decade or so. With their light flavor and the simple fun of popping them out of their pods, they have spread from sushi restaurants to other, eclectic restaurant menus and through the refrigerated

and freezer cases of well-stocked supermarkets to home tables.

Edamame are little nutritional powerhouses, packed with protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals. And just 29 percent of their calories come fat, most of which is the heart-healthy polyunsaturated or monounsaturated kind.

Since edamame are so mildly flavored and virtually the same color as guacamole, it made sense to try including them to lighten up that dip.

And I think the result will surprise you not only in how beautiful it looks but how fresh it tastes. Add some tortilla chips that you oven-bake instead of fry, and you’ve got an indulgent-feeling latesummer snack that you could actually call healthy.

EDAMAME GUACAMOLE WITH OVEN-BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS Serves 10 to 12

OVEN-BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS: 12 corn tortillas, each 6 inches in diameter 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt (optional)

EDAMAME GUACAMOLE: 1 cup shelled edamame 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium-sized ripe Hass-style avocados 1 jalapeÒo chili, halved, stemmed, seeded, deveined and coarsely chopped (optional) Salt Freshly ground black pepper Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish First, make the Oven-Baked Tortilla Chips. Preheat

the oven to 375 F. Meanwhile, lightly brush the tortillas on both sides with the olive oil and, if you like, lightly sprinkle with salt. Stack the tortillas and, with a sharp knife, cut them crosswise to make 6 wedges each.

Spread out the wedges on a baking sheet. Bake until crispy and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, and store in an airtight container until serving time.

For the guacamole, put the edamame, sour cream, lime juice and olive oil in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Pulse the machine on and off until the mixture is pureed, stopping once or twice as necessary to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula.

With a sharp knife, carefully cut the avocados lengthwise in half, cutting around the pit. Twist the halves between your hands to separate them. With a

sharp-edged tablespoon, scoop out and discard the pits.

With the tablespoon, scoop out the pulp from each avocado half into the processor bowl, discarding the peels. If you like, add the jalapeÒo. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Process until the mixture is smoothly blended, stopping once or twice to scrape down the bowl and, if necessary, adding a little more salt and pepper to taste.

Carefully remove the blade from the processor bowl. Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro. Place the bowl in the center of a platter and surround it with the tortilla chips. Serve immediately. (c) 2013 WOLFGANG PUCK WORLDWIDE, INC. DISTRIBUTED BY TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

Business & Real Estate

Is coworker a liar or just unrealistic?

Q. I work with a person who was just promoted to lead. My problem is he always promises to get tasks I need done and then makes excuses. We just had someone quit, and I know he has a lot on his plate, but I am tired of him lying. Is there a way to get him to deliver what he promises?

A. Yes, but you have to find out what is realistic for him to promise. Your coworker sounds like a classic case of over promise and under deliver.

The problem is he can’t stand to disappoint anyone, including you.

I know it seems counterintuitive that a person who doesn’t want to disappoint others ends up breaking so many promises. From your coworker’s perspective, immediate approval is much

more powerful than long-term conflict. When people ask him to help, he keeps saying “You bet!” and thus feels popular.

In his mind he probably thinks he can do everything he promises. Then he ends up facing a stack of work even Superman would find daunting. Right up to the moment he fails to deliver, he most likely tells himself he’ll get it done.

Unfortunately, if you try to get him to apologize after he drops your ball, you’ll discover he is full of more excuses than accountability. Remember this is a guy who doesn’t want anyone to be mad at him. Keep in mind, he doesn’t intend to lie to you, he is just bad at judging his limits.

Instead of accusing him of lying, you need to help him be realistic if you want to avoid

disappointment. Next time you ask him for help, tell him point blank you need him to evaluate what else he has on his plate.

Make it clear that you’ll be much less upset if he sets a realistic but longer time frame than if he fails to deliver.

You’ll find that a little empathy with him will go a long way. Think of times you also were overly optimistic about your promises. Make it clear you appreciate that his heart is in the right place when he offers to help. Make it equally clear that you know he doesn’t want to get a reputation for not following through on promises.

Many adults simply don’t do what psychologists refer to as causal thinking.They are unable to see that if they do action A, they will set in motion a chain of events where B, C and D logically follow. The ability to see the consequences of our actions in the future is actually

a mature skill that few adults possess.

Most adults think in younger and more emotional ways about the future. Your coworker thinks,“If I tell everyone I would help, everyone will like me and that makes me feel good right now.” He doesn’t think longterm about the consequences of constantly disappointing his team.

Many of my clients that have learned causal thinking get upset with people at work and ask me during sessions, “What are they thinking to act like this?” I point out that the reality is their coworkers aren’t thinking.

When you point out the negative consequences to your coworker’s behavior, his need for approval will help him become realistic. You’ll enjoy being able to count on him.

He’ll learn that long-term trust beats short-term popularity any day!

Last Word(s) Q. I made a mistake at work and fixed it, but now I feel guilty that I never mentioned the problem to my boss. Should I confess my mistake?

A. No, confession may be good for your spiritual development but it’s a bad idea for your career success.

Buying a house with 403(b) Dear Dave, Should I take advantage of a 403(b) withdrawal in order to buy a house?

Bryan Dear Bryan, I wouldn’t do that because it really doesn’t accomplish anything. The only money you can take out is what you’ve put in, and any growth you’ve experienced has to stay in there.

Basically, it’s a retirement plan, and I wouldn’t monkey around with retirement money to buy a home.

My advice is to make sure you’re debt-free and you have three to six months of expenses set aside in an emergency fund. Once you’ve taken care of those issues, you can pile up a bunch of cash in a money market account toward the purchase of a home.You won’t

earn a lot of money, but it’s a safe place to park your cash when you’re saving up for a big purchase.

When it comes to saving and investing, I’m a big fan of mutual funds. The problem in this scenario is that if you start sticking money in mutual funds, then the market is down when you’re ready to buy, you could’ve lost some money. That’s not the route I’d want to go if I’m in your shoes, Bryan. I’d forego the opportunity to make money in order to keep it safe for this goal.

—Dave

What term does he need?

Dear Dave, I’m 24 years old, and I have a wife and child. We’ve been following your plan, and I’m

about to buy life insurance.

Should I get a 20- or 30-year term policy?

Derek Dear Derek, I think the big question is how long will you need this life insurance. If you and your wife are planning on having more kids in the next 10 years, I’d suggest a 30-year policy. That could put you in a situation of being 34 years old with a new baby. That’s not old by any means, but your wife will need 20 years’ worth of coverage if this happens, because you’d want the kids grown and out of the house before the insurance term runs out.

But that’s just one of your financial goals at this point.You also want to be debt-free. And you need to ask yourself some other questions. Are you going to have your house paid for 15 years from now? I sure hope you didn’t take out more than a 15-year mortgage. Are your kids going to be grown and

gone by then? Are you going to have a big pile of money in the bank by then? In other words, where are you going to be at the end of the term?

If 15 years from now you have $700,000 in your retirement account, your house is paid for, and the kids are out on their own, then, if you die, your wife will be fine, financially speaking. But at that time, if you still have kids in the house and your home isn’t paid off, then you’d probably need a 20-year policy.

That’s how I would look at it. How much longer are you going to need life insurance?

News BAGPIPES Continued from page 1 Emily underwent surgery and proton and gamma radiation therapy, and is currently on different chemotherapies. But despite her battle, Wheeler graduated Westmont Junior High School with high honors. She will be joining her friends at Westmont High School next week.

After the parade, community members gave Emily gifts and words of support. Her mother passed out bracelets that contain Wheeler’s motto, “Never, never, never give up.”

Chicago resident and bagpiper Joe Coakley organized the parade as a recognition of Wheeler’s courage against the cancer.

“We want her to know that she’s got her own pipe band,” Coakley said.

A former member of the Chicago Caledonian Pipes band, Coakley has known Steve Wheeler, Emily’s father, for three years. He never met Emily before the parade, but after hearing about Emily’s battle Coakley asked Steve Wheeler if he would like a band to play for

his daughter.

“I wish I can wave a magic wand and make everything perfect,” Coakley said.“But what I can do is play some music. Let me take her mind off of cancer for about 20 minutes.”

Bagpipes have been used in war, and Coakley said that metaphor is important with everyone in the parade came to give her support in her battle.

Originally, only 14 local bagpipers volunteered for the parade. But after word of the surprise concert spread to other pipe bands and the neighborhood through Facebook and the Village of Westmont, competing bagpipers, drummers and dancers marched just for Emily.

Marty Gatton, a bagpiper with the Chicago Fire Department Pipes & Drums, heard about the parade through Coakley’s Facebook post and was personally invested in the cause.

“My wife is a 17-year survivor of cancer,” Gatton said. “A lot of people came out and supported her. So it’s my way of giving back.”

Dozens ofWestmont community members walked alongside the band to see Emily’s reaction. Some made supportive signs for her,

while other neighbors joined after hearing the band.

“The response from the community was unbelievable,” Steve Wheeler said. “The support means everything. Sometimes you get caught up in so much, and it’s just nice knowing that people know and care. It’s a showing of what’s right.”

Emily’s fight has been tough, but she said this day helped her in every way.

“This was a lot of support when I’m feeling down,” she said. “It’s been hard to hear bad news. It just made me very happy. I feel so loved.”
