District, schools grades are in Downers Grove high schools recieve annual report cards By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

Every spring, all Illinois high school juniors are required to take a two-day Prairie State Achievement Examination. School administrators use the results to show what areas need improvement. The exam is made up of three subjects: math; reading and science. “The 2012 Illinois State

Report Card reflects data from the 2011-12 school year and provides comprehensive information about our students, teachers, finances and most importantly, how our students are performing academically,�said Jill Browning, communications director with Community Unit School District 99, which consists of Downers See GRADE, page 4

Caring for concussions Zero tolerance means no release, no return By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter The days of an athlete “blacking out” on the sideline or field and resuming play after a few minutes came to a close beginning this fall, in the NFL as well as in high schools across the country, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations’ website. Due to the increased education regarding concussions, an athlete getting his or her “bell rung” no longer can result in getting an order to “shake it off

and get back in the game” from the coach. Parents, coaches and even student-athletes now are being required to know the signs of a concussion, a traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head or neck that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skill, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Having repeated concussions before the body recovers from the first can slow recovery and increase the chance of longterm damage to the brain. Symptoms include a headache

or feeling of pressure in the head, nausea, dizziness or balance problems, sensitivity to light or noise, blurry vision, loss of concentration, memory problems and/or a general not “feeling right.” The signs to watch for a potential concussion in others include appearing dazed or stunned, confused about assignment or position, moves clumsily, can’t recall events prior to hit or fall and/or loses consciousness, even briefly. A concussion cannot be seen, and sometimes symptoms

may not show up until hours or even days after the injury. Anyone who has potential for a concussion, especially if exhibiting any of the symptoms, should discontinue play and be evaluated immediately by a health care professional. School Policies “Our schools provide information about concussions to parents at the ‘healthy lifestyles’ meetings that take place at the start of each athletic season. These meetings are mandatory,” said Jill Browning, communications director for

Community High School District 99. “Both parents and studentathletes must read and sign a concussion information sheet as well as an Impact Testing information form.” Baseline testing has become required by many schools, park districts, clubs and other youth athletic organizations. Trained health care professionals conduct pre-season exams to assess an athlete’s balance and brain function, including learning and memory skills, See CONCUSSION, page 3

BAC testing now easier, faster By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

The holiday season adds an extra reason to celebrate and give cheer for family and friends alike during this festive time. Unfortunately, the line between getting behind the wheel after consuming less than the threshold and driving while under the influence of alcohol can become blurred regardless of the time of year. All 50 states have now set .08 percent Blood Alcohol Content as the legal limit for a DUI. For commercial drivers, a BAC of .04 percent can result in a DUI conviction and there is a zero tolerance limit of any amount of alcohol present for under the age of 21. In an effort to crack down on suspected DUI drivers, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office has unveiled a new procedure that will provide law enforcement with another tool when pulling over suspected DUI motorists. “The average rate of elimination of alcohol in a

person is .015 - .020 grams per milliliters per hour,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said.“Consequently, in any DUI investigation, time is of the essence in obtaining evidence of a subject’s blood alcohol content or BAC.” Currently, a driver suspected of DUI may refuse a breathalyzer, a breath analyzer test, conducted by the officer present. If the suspected driver refuses to take the breathalyzer test, he or she has to be transported by the officer to a hospital for a blood draw to determine BAC. During hectic times for the hospital, this could take hours to have the blood drawn and the results obtained. Under the new initiative, the officer will now have the additional option of contacting a private phlebotomist company. Within one hour, a state-licensed and -trained phlebotomist will meet the officer along with the suspected motorist at the local police department. The suspected motorist’s blood will be immediately drawn and results obtained at the local police

department where any potential arrest will also take place. “By reducing the time between arrests and blood draws, we are able to obtain a much more accurate BAC of the offender at the time of arrest,” Berlin added. “In addition, it will also free up our patrol officers from spending hours in a hospital with the offender and allow them to get back on the streets faster.” Also, a breathalyzer does not directly measure BAC or concentration. Rather, it only estimates the BAC indirectly by measuring the amount of alcohol in one’s breath. The blood test, analysis of a blood sample, directly measures BAC of the suspected driver. “The use of a private phlebotomist will prove to be an invaluable tool in gathering evidence in a DUI investigation in a timely and efficient manner and will aid in the successful prosecution of DUI offenders,” Berlin said. The cost associated with this new initiative will then become the responsibility of the offender. Berlin said.

CUSD 201 and WTA agree on contract’s terms By Robin Ambrosia Staff Reporter

The Community Unit School District 201 Board of Education announced that a tentative agreement was reached Nov. 20 between the school district and the Westmont Teachers’ Association. The WTA has been working with an expired contract since February.The CUSD 201 and the WTA had agreed on all issues except teacher compensation. “The teachers have been nothing but professional during the time of working under an expired contract,” CUSD 201 Superintendent Kevin Carey said. “We are all anxious to put

this behind us.” Negotiations stalled in September when both parties agreed to secure a mediator from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. On October 31, the WTA filed a 10day intent-to-strike order with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board. The WTA will meet to review the details of the contract and ratify the agreement. “The WTA expects to vote on Thursday night (November 29),” Carey said. “The next step is the board will need to meet and agree on the contract, also. This could happen as early as See CONTRACT, page 8

CONCUSSION Continued from page 2 ability to pay attention or concentrate, how quickly he or she thinks and solve problems, as well as for the presence of any previous concussion symptoms. Results from these baseline tests are compared to a similar exam conducted after the injury by a health care professional if an athlete has a suspected concussion. Zero tolerance is a term associated with youth athletics imposing automatic punishment for rule violations which now includes requiring a medical release prior to returning to play if a concussion is suspected. “Downers Grove North and South high schools are currently implementing Impact Applications to student-athletes prior to beginning a sport during freshman and junior year, as well as to any new athletes at North,” Browning said.

ImPACT Applications, which stands for Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing, is a scientifically validated, computerized system that can be administered by an athletic trainer, school nurse or athletic director after training is completed. “We take concussions very seriously, and any player exhibiting signs/symptoms of a concussion will be removed from play immediately and will not be allowed to return without medical clearance,” said Jennifer Waldorf, communications coordinator for Downers Grove Grade School District 58. Students participating in any sports, including cheerleading, at the DGSD 58 middle school, along with a parent or guardian, are required to sign and return an agreement form for each athletic season. This agreement outlines the signs/symptoms of a concussion, the dangers of returning to play too soon following a concussion and what

should be done a concussion is suspected. DGSD 58 does not require a base-line test. Center Cass School District 66 has one middle school and two grade schools that serve children from Downers Grove. “We follow the same procedures designated by the SDEAA, Southeast DuPage Elementary Athletic Association,” said CCSD 66 Superintendent Tim Arnold. Many area schools are part of the SDEAA, which adheres to the guidelines of the National Federation of High School Associations. Recently, the NFHSA announced policy changes on their website regarding concussions. “Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports” is a free, online course offered by the CDC to coaches, parents, and others helping to keep athletes safe from concussion. This course helps recognize a concussion and how to respond. It can be found at www.cdc.gov/ concussion/headsup/online_ training.html.

GRADES

Asian while 3.1 percent are either combined or another racial background.

Continued from page 1 Grove North and South high schools. Illinois school test results are known as their Illinois Interactive report card. These report cards are verified by the Illinois State Board of Education with support from Northern Illinois University, which are available at http://iirc.niu.edu/. Also, these results provide school districts like CUSD 99 with a synopsis of their student demographics. Downers Grove North has a student population of 2,131, which is 78.5 percent white, 6.6 percent black, 7.6 percent Hispanic students and 4.2 percent Asian students, while 4.2 percent are either combined races or are another racial background, according to the Illinois report card, which is also posted on each school’s website under “report card.” South has a larger student population of 3,065. Of those, 63.2 percent are white, 12.4 percent are black, 11.7 percent are Hispanic and 9 percent are

District CUSD 99’s student-teacher ratio is approximately 20 students to one teacher, with an average class size of 24 students, according to their Illinois report card. The attendance rate is 94.6 percent, and 90.3 students graduate within four years. Teachers in CUSD are paid $89,652 on average,compared to $66,614 statewide. The average for CUSD 99 administrative salaries is $127,985, while the state is $110,870. The following numbers represent the percentage of test results scoring the level of meeting or exceeding the Illinois Learning Standards for math,reading and science.These standards were established by Illinois educators who teach the grade levels and subjects being tested. Due to rounding, the sum of the percentages in the performance levels may not always equal 100. An average of 70.6 percent

of all CUSD 99’s students met or exceeded standards in 2012. This score is slightly higher than 69.5 percent in 2011, but higher than 51.3 percent statewide in 2012. Students qualifying for reduced-fee or free lunch are considered economically disadvantaged. The overall district results for these students were considerably lower at 43 percent but higher than statewide at 30 percent.

Schools North had 73.5 percent of students meet or exceed the reading standards, along with 78.3 percent for math and 73.5 percent in science. The overall PSAE score for North in 2012 is 75.1 percent. The percentage of South students meeting or exceeding standards was 62.8 for reading, 72.6 for math and 65.8 for science. Their overall score has improved from 65.4 percent in 2011 to 67.1 percent in 2012. All of these results are well above the average for all high school junior students throughout the state. The statewide results are 50.7

percent for reading, 51.6 percent for math and 51.7 percent for science of students met or exceeded the standard. “Across all sections of the Prairie State Achievement Exam, 76 percent of our juniors at North met or exceeded standards, significantly above the state average,” North Principal Scott Kasik said.

No Child Left Behind consequences While North’s overall score is 75.1 percent, the threshold for making Adequate Yearly Progress is 85 percent under the No Child Left Behind Act. Both high schools have been identified for school improvement under the Academic Watch Status. This is North’s fourth year on Academic Watch Status and South’s seventh year. These schools have failed to make AYP for two additional years after being placed on Academic Early Warning (or four annual calculations of missing AYP) and are eligible for additional state sanctions, according to the Illinois

Interactive Report Card website. “Surrounding high schools in our area, including Hinsdale District 86, Naperville District 203, Wheaton Warrenville District 200, Glenbard District 87 and Stevenson District 125 also did not make AYP,” Browning said. “Almost every school in the state is not reaching the same, nearly impossible standards set forth by No Child Left Behind.” Scores of schools and school districts have been closed because they were unable to meet the unreasonable demands of NCLB, according to the National Education Association website. “Despite the disappointment that our schools did not make AYP, District 99 is encouraged by the meaningful achievement data from the 2011-12 school year,” Browning said. “We are pleased that students from both of our schools continue to outperform the state averages academically as measured by standardized tests. Over 70 percent of our students met or exceeded the standards in the 2012 PSAE, compared to only 51 percent statewide.”

The winning team Saint Mary of Gostyn School teams up with the Chicago Bears Saint Mary of Gostyn School in Downers Grove launched a new reading initiative by the Chicago Bears. On Nov. 14, St. Mary students dressed in Chicago Bears gear and colors to gather for the launch of Staley Da Bear’s “Tackle Reading” program. This program reinforces St. Mary’s commitment to the personal growth and individual success of every student and to exploring creative ways to help students achieve academic excellence from the start of their education at Saint Mary’s and throughout high school, college and beyond. Staley’s “Tackle Reading” program targets grade levels first through eighth and reinforces the importance and excitement of reading. The assembly included a 45-minute fun-filled school

program discussing the five essential components of reading. According to the National Institute for Literacy those include: phonetic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. At the assembly, Staley and his MC combined education and comedy to create an engaging hands-on event exploring reading comprehension and the differences between fiction and non-fiction reading. As a wrap up, Staley’s MC invited St. Mary students to participate in an incentivebased five week reading program called Staley’s “Tackle Reading” challenge. Every student who finishes Staley’s “Tackle Reading” challenge wins a prize and one or two students will win a mini-camp day with the Chicago Bears players.

H o ro s c o p e s Pace yourself. There’s nothing you can do today that you can’t do tomorrow. Take advantage of a day off by recharging your batteries for the coming week. Good manners are contagious so be on your best behavior.

If you’re afraid of rotten apples, don’t go to the barrel, pick them from the tree. Sticking to the same antiquated routines may simply result in repeating past mistakes. Try to come up with fresh and original ideas this week.

All work and no play isn’t much fun. Explore your inner child using imagination and taking flights of fancy. Focus on activities you enjoy rather than work. Important decisions should be postponed until later this week.

Don’t take it personally. If you read between the lines and search for insults, you’re likely to find them. Take the chip off your shoulder and try to make the best of every situation in the week ahead.

Don’t be your own worst critic. You shouldn’t torture yourself over shortcomings when you possess so many strengths. Do what you do best in the week ahead instead of trying to do what you can’t.

Every rose has thorns. Don’t let appearances fool you, just because everything appears rosy on the surface doesn’t mean that there aren’t unforeseen pitfalls lurking around the corner. Remain on guard this week.

Go ahead, make your day. Resolve to be selfish by doing whatever brings you the most enjoyment in the week to come. Your time is usually rationed by your schedule, but you can create your own time slots.

Expect the unexpected. Leave a bit of wiggle room in your schedule to account for unforeseen surprises in the week ahead. It would be to your benefit to make a point of finishing whatever you begin.

Take a break. Spend some time away from that big project you’ve been working on and you’ll be amazed at the fresh perspective you receive. Save decisionmaking until later in the week.

Beware the green-eyed monster. Don’t envy another’s success, especially when their gain benefits you as well. Allow everyone time in the limelight and wish them well this week. Your turn will come soon.

Make your choice count. Don’t just flip a coin when faced with a crucial decision. Take the time to do your homework and figure out which option is best. Business will be the top priority this week.

Fog clouds the path ahead this week. There are many variables that are obscured regarding a new endeavor. It may be better to wait until events unfold and you have more facts, before starting anything new.

Alviti throws, runs to the top By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

“Matt Al-vi-ti … Matt Al-vi-ti.” This chant from the Maine South student section could be heard at regular intervals not only at every home game during Matt Alviti’s stellar senior season, but throughout the brilliant three-year career of the Hawks’ quarterback. “You hear them, and it’s awesome to know that the whole school is behind you,” said Alviti, the Voyager Media 2012 Football Player of the Year. “It’s a great honor,” said Alviti regarding being named Player of the Year. “I had a great career at Maine South playing in a great system. The coaches put me in a great situation and I had great teammates. I can’t get this award without my teammates as well as the coaching staff.” Alviti threw for 2,740 yards this season—completing 68 percent of his attempts—with 28 touchdown passes and only five interceptions. He also was a threat on the ground, rushing for 843 yards and 19 touchdowns. Alviti’s versatility will fit him well as he takes his talents next fall to Northwestern University, a great place for multi-dimensional quarterbacks. “I think the sky’s the limit for him (at Northwestern) with the offense they run,” said Maine South head coach David Inserra. “They do an incredible job of pulling the best out of the quarterbacks they have. He has the arm strength, the athletic ability and the toughness to play that position.” “I think I’ll be able to succeed well in their offensive system,” Alviti added.“That’s one of the big reasons I picked Northwestern.” Alviti took over as the starting QB his sophomore year and helped guide Maine South to the

Class 8A state championship— winning 12 consecutive contests after the team had lost its first two games of the year. The Hawks then rattled off another 10 in a row during Alviti’s junior season in 2011 before falling in the second round of the playoffs (10-1 overall). This season, the Hawks (11-1) won 11 straight and advanced to the quarterfinals. All told, Maine South compiled a 33-4 record with Alviti under center.ButAlviti’s career numbers are even more noteworthy. He finishes with 9,746 total yards, ranking him fourth unofficially in IHSA history. He’s also fifth all-time in passing yardage (7,788) and passes completed (538), and is tied for ninth with 78 career TD passes. “What he’s done just in sheer numbers is phenomenal,” Inserra said. “Leading the team to the state championship as a sophomore, he was definitely the leader of that team. He did everything he could to duplicate that feat his junior and senior years.” The rest of the members of the Voyager Media All-Area Football Team are:

A.J. APIQUIAN Senior linebacker from Plainfield Central led the team with 65 tackles, 11.5 for loss, with two sacks. “Excellent reader, great blitzer and our leading tackler,” Central coach John Jackson said. “He is very versatile and was a free safety last year. He was an impact player and our defensive leader.”

ALL-AREA Continued from page 11 quarterback posted 1,091 yards of total offense and 16 total touchdowns. The 2011 Voyager Media Player of the year, his coach John Ivlow calls Bailey “The best player in state.”

CALEB BAILEY Bailey, a linebacker for Romeoville, led the team with 104 tackles and also spent some time on offense, gaining 288 yards with three scores on just 42 carries. “Caleb Bailey is one of the best football players I have had the pleasure of coaching,”Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna said. “Caleb has been our Defensive MVP the last two years and has set almost every defensive statistical record in our program. He has a great combination of speed, strength and athleticism which has made his a very versatile defensive player, from playing the run, to

pressuring the quarterback or dropping into coverage. Caleb has played great for us over the last two seasons, but I still believe he is learning the game and his best football is yet to be played.”

NICK BARGIONE Chris James was quick to give credit to the Notre Dame’s offensive line throughout the season for his success, and Bargione was one of those linemen who helped spring James for long gains. Bargione started the 2011 season at tackle before moving to guard this year. He also saw plenty of action in the defensive line in 2012. “You always need someone on the offensive line to captain things, take charge and direct traffic, and Nick kind of did that,” said Notre Dame coach Mike Hennessey. “With Chris’ stats, you have to have guys up front that are doing a tremendous job. All five guys did a tremendous job for us.”

JACK BENEVENTI Sophomore quarterback burst onto the scene this season, completing 181 of 303 passes for 2,318 yards and 20 TDs. After only one season, he is 700 yards and four TDs shy of the school record. “As a sophomore he stepped up and had some spectacular games for us,” said Benet coach Pat New.“He is only going to get better the next two years.”

HERB BETANCOURT Betancourt

was

one

of

the Notre Dame’s leaders on defense. His prowess for making big plays helped lift Notre Dame to the Class 6A quarterfinals this season—the Dons’ best postseason finish since 1997. “He took and ownership and leadership on the defensive end,” said Hennessy.“He’s an excellent athlete, and has very good overall speed. Because of that, we were able to put him in a lot of different situations to make him effective, and therefore, make our defense effective.”

J. B. BUTLER No matter who was in the backfield this season, JCA moved the ball on the ground to the tune of 3,682 yards, a lot of them coming behind Butler. He also posted 20 tackles as a part-time defensive lineman. “To be a two-year starter already by the end of your junior year on our offensive line at left tackle says a lot about his abilities,” said JCA coach Dan Sharp. “He has great feet and great athleticism, and we can also use him as a pulling guard. He has a first-class motor, always making that push forward, and he did a great job blocking field goals and extra points. When we needed help and physicality in the interior of our defensive line, we knew who to turn to.”

VONTAE DIGGS Downers North junior had 56 tackles, 16 for losses and six sacks. “He will be a Division-I

prospect if he put some meat on for next year,” North coach John Wander said. “He has big play potential every snap he is in the game.”

BRYCE DOUGLAS A powerful defensive tackle, the Illinois recruit was a three-year starter and was the defensive MVP in the Southwest Prairie Conference for Plainfield Central. Douglas tallied 48 tackles, 12 for a loss, with 3.5 sacks, one interception and a forced fumble. “He is the strongest Player I’ve ever coached,” Jackson said. “His value is in the fact that he demanded double teams from opponent’s offenses yet he still dominated games despite it.”

JORDAN ELLINGWOOD The senior finished his career as the second leading career rusher in Plainfield Central history. This year he tallied 1,066 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns. “He is one of the toughest (If not the toughest) football player I’ve ever coached and one of the best football players I’ve ever coached,” Jackson said.

JACK EURITT Senior broke the school’s record for receptions in a season, catching 55 passes for 850 yards and 10 touchdowns. “He is a terrific athlete and set the school record for receptions,”

New said. “He made some huge plays for us this year.”

BRETT FOX The three-year starter for Plainfield North spent time on both sides of the ball at linebacker and tight end. He had 94 tackles on defense with 2.5 sacks and two fumble recoveries, and had six catches for 92 yards and three touchdowns. “Brett is a tough, physical twoway player for us,” North coach Tim Kane said. “How he played the game on both sides of the ball raised everyone else’s level as well due to his tenacity and intensity.”

CLIFTON GARRETT The Plainfield South junior linebacker totaled 107 tackles on the season, 10.5 for a loss, and a fumble return for a touchdown. He also contributed four touchdowns on offense. He is being recruited by several top college football programs across the country. “He is an outstanding competitor, and has outstanding talent,” South coach Ken Bublitz said. “Clifton demonstrates tremendous closing speed and impressive finishes on tackles. He was able to get involved in the offense as the season continued demonstrating excellent hands as a receiver, toughness as a runner and aggressiveness as a blocker.”

Downers South senior Marie Domabyl tried out for the bowling team as a junior. In her first varsity tournament her senior year, she led the team at the Plainfield Central Invite at Pioneer Lanes in Plainfield. Domabyl shot a 1,046 and had a high game of 222. “I did really well the first couple games,” Domabyl said. “Then I had a tough time, but I came back. Our team did pretty well overall. It took me a while to find my shot, but once I did, I stuck to it.” “She did a great job,” Downers South coach John Ryan said.“She set the pace.” The strong performance will

help her gain confidence moving forward in the season. “I want to be able to stay on the varsity team for all the matches and tournaments,” Domabyl said. “Hopefully this will help me.This is my first year on varsity, so I’m excited. I want to go to state.” She helped the team finish in ninth place overall with a 4,888. Oswego East won with a 5,990. “We did well but we could’ve done better,” Domabyl said. “We did pretty poorly with our spare shooting, so if we work on that, we should be fine.” Junior Kayla Ewing shot a 1,003 and senior Taylor Czubernut added a 981 for the Mustangs. “This is our first tournament of the year and it’s the first time we’ve been at this tournament in

about six years,” Ryan said.“They haven’t seen this shot at all and they won’t see it again. It was different for them.” The goals remain the same this year for the Mustangs. “Every year we want to win conference,” Ryan said.“We want to get six girls all-conference and hopefully get to state. Spare shooting is the key to the game.”

Despite battling nagging injuries from the first game of the season this year, Isaac still rushed for 1,500 yards and 22 touchdowns. “I told him after our last game, ‘I never saw anyone run the ball better in a brown jersey than you,’ ” Sharp said. “We finally get Ty healthy and the season is over. He had an amazing career year here, playing in two state championship games and being our all-time leading rusher, but I what will remember the most is how well he handled all the attention, all the accolades, with such humility and class. And I know USC can’t wait to get him on their campus.”

ZACK JACKOVICH The junior defensive back posted 66 tackles this season and was third on the team with 35 solo tackles.

said. “When we were struggling to come up with turnovers at the start of the year, Zach would intercept a pass, or even two, and that’s something every defense is looking for - that timely turnover. And he can only get better for next season.”

CHRIS JAMES James, who led Notre Dame in rushing as a sophomore, took his game to the next level, and then some, during his junior season. James’ combination of power, quickness and speed enabled him to pile up 2,089 yards and 29 touchdowns on the ground, while adding 252 yards and three scores receiving. “Chris did a great job getting himself prepared for this season, getting bigger, faster, stronger, adapting and maturing,” said Hennessey. “He had a better sense and better vision for holes, and better anticipation.”

Joliet West wins own tourney By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Heading into the 2012 season, Joliet West and Bolingbrook were already picked to be at or near the top of the class in the SouthWest Suburban Conference. After their battle Nov. 24 in the title game of the, that was only solidified. West won the game 63-56 in their first time in the title game of its own invite. West rode the hot hand of senior guard Morris Dunnigan, who tallied 13 of his game-high 31 points in the fourth quarter, en route to being tabbed MVP of the tournament. “Morris Dunnigan is a great high school basketball player,’’ said Joliet West coach Luke Yaklich.“He has worked so hard to come back from the ACL injury his sophomore year and finally, he’s back to 100 percent. I am super proud of Morris. He put us on his back and led us to the win. When he plays well, we are always going to play well, that is just the pressure of being the best player.” “This means a whole lot,” Dunnigan said of the win. “We have never had a chance to play in this first place game, so it is important. We came to play. We have players that have been on varsity for three and four years, so we have experience this year.” The game was a battle from the beginning, as the teams were tied 15-15 after the opening quarter and were knotted at 2828 at halftime. West held a slim 41-40 after three quarters before pulling ahead late. “This tournament was won in the first two weeks of our practice,”Yaklich said.“There is a reason we put the guys through so much early on.” Senior Carl Tyrell added 17 points for West, although he was not at full strength. “Carl Tyrell had the flu tonight and he was out there playing at 70 percent,”Yaklich said.

Business & Real Estate

Avoid the ‘fight to be right’ to get results Q. I’m an avid reader of this column and am puzzled by why you so often recommend telling coworkers they are right in an argument. I think the truth is important. I always speak my mind. Do I have to pick between making my point and being effective at work? A. Yes, being right and being effective are mutually exclusive choices. When you fight to be right, you guarantee the other person is now at risk of being wrong. Most normal people will then engage in a power struggle with you that will not end in you getting what you want. Clients are always telling me how enlightening it is to find out they are not the only person on the planet who is emotionally insecure at times. Many people don’t realize that everyone in their workplace is walking around wanting to avoid ever

feeling they are inadequate or bad. W e accidentally trigger these fears in our coworkers when we insist on being right. Unfortunately, most of your coworkers identify being right with being good and adequate. Thus, they will fight to the death to be right. If you understand this dynamic, you will become a black belt at workplace politics. You will probably be the only one in your workplace who can emotionally afford to be wrong ... and then get what you want. Most people around you will actually give away what they originally wanted if you will just let them be right. I’ve had executive coaching

clients who have spent years arguing with me about why it is necessary for them to be right. Then one day, they allow the other person to be right and quickly get what they want. Realize there is a long, long checkout line at work of people who will do just about anything to be right. Consider whether you’d rather be in an area with no line with people who can tolerate being wrong and effective. An excellent phrase to practice when a coworker wants to make you wrong is,“You may be right.” You’ll then be able to return to negotiating the outcome you desire because you allowed your coworker to win the power struggle for self-esteem. If you find it nearly impossible to let coworkers win right/wrong arguments, ask yourself what you hope to gain by winning? Anytime you get to be right,

you’ll still face the insecurity of being wrong in the future. Ask yourself what your long-term benefit is by winning one selfesteem power struggle. Now ask yourself what your long-term gain is when you let others be right and consistently get the result you prefer? Who do you figure has the most power and influence at work, the person who is right or the person who gets results? Yes, you’ll have to give up the emotional dessert of immediate satisfaction when you win an argument. However, as time goes by and you accumulate result over result, being right might seem much less delicious.

The last word(s) Q. I have a job I love and I am paid well. I listen to friends who complain about their jobs. Is it cheating to be making good

money to be paid to do what you enjoy? A. No, we do our best work at an activity that feels like adult play. Enjoying our work puts us in a state of creativity and passion for excellence - and that is exactly what others want to pay us for!

Letting them in on financial secrets Dear Dave, I’m in a very fortunate position when it comes to my finances. I’m 25, and I make $50,000 a year. I’m also completely debt-free. In your opinion, when is it appropriate to let someone you’re dating know about your financial situation? Anonymous Dear Anonymous, Wow, you are in a great position for someone so young. I’m not sure how you got there, but it certainly wasn’t by being dumb or immature. I think it’s only natural in a dating situation to reveal more about oneself as time passes and the relationship gets deeper and more serious. In my mind, people who start throwing around financial information on a first

date are either extremely superficial or just plain weird. But after you’ve been dating a while, and definitely before you’re engaged, you should know everything about the other person. There should be complete disclosure. That’s called intimacy. There’s no room for skeletons in the closet when it comes to a healthy relationship. Just take your time and make sure you’re both committed to being open and honest about things. Then, as the relationship progresses, the depth of intimacy and the depth of information will

progress in all areas of your lives. —Dave

What’s the worst that can happen? Dear Dave, My wife and I want to do a livein/flip real estate purchase. The idea is to buy a fixer-upper and rent out the basement to help with the mortgage payments. What do you think about the idea? Brian Dear Brian, I love real estate. I’ve flipped a few houses too. But the particulars of the deal make me a little nervous. In a situation like this you need to do a basic business analysis.

You’ve got to have a plan and figure out the worst case scenario. Part of this is determining whether or not you can survive if things fall apart. In this case, the worst case is that you can’t get a renter and the house doesn’t sell. It puts your family in jeopardy if this happens, so to me it’s not an option. Honestly, I think you’ve got house fever right now. The possibility I just mentioned isn’t a rare occurrence. Lots of people have had the same idea, with the best of intentions, and still end up in a big mess. But if you and your wife are willing to accept the possibility of things not working out like you planned—and the fact that you might have to take additional jobs for an unknown period of time just to make ends meet—then it might be a play.

Me? I don’t like putting myself into skin-of-my-teeth positions intentionally. When I wore a younger man’s clothes, I was willing to do stuff and ignore the risk involved. Going broke years ago knocked that out of me in a hurry. Any deal that runs the risk of leaving you bankrupt, or the victim of a foreclosure, just isn’t worth it! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

fancy. Focus on activities you enjoy rather than work. Important decisions should be postponed until later this week. Don’t be your own worst critic. You shouldn’t torture yourself over shortcomings when you possess so many strengths. Do what you do best in the week ahead instead of trying to do what you can’t.

because everything appears rosy on the surface doesn’t mean that there aren’t unforeseen pitfalls lurking around the corner. Remain on guard this week.

Go ahead, make your day. Resolve to be selfish by doing whatever brings you the most enjoyment in the week to come. Your time is usually rationed by your schedule, but you can create your own time slots.

Expect the unexpected. Leave a bit of wiggle room in your schedule to account for unforeseen surprises in the week ahead. It would be to your benefit to make a point of finishing whatever you begin.

Take a break. Spend some time away from that big project you’ve been working on and you’ll be amazed at the fresh perspective you receive. Save decisionmaking until later in the week.

Beware the green-eyed monster. Don’t envy another’s success, especially when their gain benefits you as well. Allow everyone time in the limelight and wish them well this week. Your turn will come soon.

Make your choice count. Don’t just flip a coin when faced with a crucial decision. Take the time to do your homework and figure out which option is best. Business will be the top priority this week.

Fog clouds the path ahead this week. There are many variables that are obscured regarding a new endeavor. It may be better to wait until events unfold and you have more facts, before starting anything new.
