The referendum question on the March 20, 2012 ballot reads: “Shall the Village of Woodridge have the authority to arrange for the supply of electricity for its residential and small commercial retail customers

Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale is being challenged by State Rep. Chris Nybo, R-41st, of Elmhurst in the Republican primary. Both candidates are incumbents in their current seats, and both are seeking the state senate seat in the 24th District after new legislative maps were drawn following the 2010 Census.

Dillard has represented the 24th District since 1995. Nybo served for four years in the Elmhurst City Council and left that position to become a state representative. Dillard has said

Sandack, Boyle down to wire in 81st District

By Debbie Lively Staff Reporter

Two Downers Grove residents are facing off in hopes of winning the 81st District House of Representative seat.

Debbie Boyle, a registered nurse with Loyola University Health System and vice president of the board with High School District 99, is challenging state Sen. Ron Sandack.

Rather than challenge Republican colleague state Sen. Christine Radogno (R-Lemont) in a newly drawn district, Sandack the former mayor of Downers Grove is making a bid for the new House seat.

If elected to the new seat, Sandack, who works as an attorney, says he would concentrate on reforming public pensions, which he calls “unsustainable.” He would also work to make Illinois a more business-friendly state.

Boyle has said that if elected, she too would work toward

Ron Sandack

pension reform. She said she believes Springfield needs a nurse and not a lawyer.

Sandack, who was appointed to the state senate in November 2010 to replace state Sen. Dan Cronin, has received endorsements from the Chicago Tribune and the Daily Herald.

Boyle has received endorsements from the Tea Party and the Downers Grove Republican Committee.

The new district includes Downers Grove, Woodridge, Westmont, Darien, Naperville, Lisle and Bolingbrook.

while Dillard disagrees with the notion.

The two challenge one another after the new map boundaries cut off the western part of the district, which used to include Naperville, and moved the northern boundary to include Elmhurst and extended the district west into Western Spring.

The winner will run against A Ghani in the November 6 general election. Ghani is running unopposed in the Democratic primary on March 20. dlively@buglenewspapers.com

Polling places change Downers Grove Township 2012in primaries Voyager Media’s got you covered

By Debbie Lively Staff Reporter

Because Downers Grove Township has undergone significant changes to its congressional lines, voters should be aware of their new polling places. This year, Downers Grove Township went from three congressional districts to six. “Within the whole county, Downers Grove changed the most,� said Joe Sobecki, assistant director of the DuPage County Election Commission,“The whole area had to be reworked, and it was the last township that was done.�

As a result of data collected from the last U.S. Census, federal, state and local legislative districts

“Within the whole county, Downers Grove changed the most,�

Joe Sobecki, assistant director were redrawn to adjust for population shifts resulting in new precincts and new polling places for some voters. The Dupage County Election Commission received information to begin developing the new lines just this July, said Sobecki.

The Village of Downers Grove encompasses parts of three different townships; York, Lisle and Downers Grove. Voters in York and Lisle Townships will see few changes in their districts

or polling places. However, in Downers Grove Township, 34 polling places were eliminated and 17 new polling places were added.

Residents who live in Downers Grove Township, which is located south of 39th Street and east of Woodward Avenue, will likely see changes to their polling place. Their ballots will also have different congressional, legislative or county board districts.

Thecountyelectioncommission

has an interactive map on its website to help residents determine their precinct. Once a voter determines their precinct, they can match the precinct to the correct polling place, said Sobecki. “It’s a really nice tool where you can see the area and what district you live in,� he said.

Even with the major changes, election officials said that they have not received many inquiries from voters. Sobecki said that’s likely because the upcoming March 20 election is a primary, which typically sees a lower turnout than the general elections. About 526,000 voters are registered to vote in the county, compared to 555,000 for the previous election.

A Library’s Future

Library holds public forum to gather community input

By Debbie Lively Staff Reporter

The Downers Grove Board of Trustees are hoping that patrons attend two upcoming meetings and help weigh-in on the Downers Grove Library’s future plans.

The meetings that will help shape the library’s plans will be held Wednesday, March 14 and Wednesday, March 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the library, located at 1050 Curtiss Street.

“We’d like to call it a community conversation,” said Library Director Rick Ashton.

“We’re inviting everybody to the two Library meetings in the month of March. The purpose of the invitation is to share with people about some of the thinking that we’re doing toward the next big things for the Downers Grove Library.”

Ashton is expected to give a brief presentation about the Library’s impending plans, and garner input from the public.

“The big strategic questions are how shall we operate successfully in a fast changing technological environment, and how shall we use our building,” said Ashton.“We have some ideas about these things. But we don’t want to go off in a corner and make these decisions.”

Ashton said that half of all American adults carry a mobile device, and that the Library would like to devise more ways to allow people to access the Library using those devices. He also said that the Library needs to take a look at how the building is being used, such as having sufficient space for groups to meet, and how to better use the space to attract more teens to the facility.

Downers Grove Strategic Plans Ongoing Strategies (doing and should continue) • Maintain a strong focus on books and reading and associated services.

Potential activities: Continue to purchase in many print and digital formats, advise readers, and provide broad informational resources and expertise.

• Support early/emergent literacy.

Potential activities: Purchase children’s print and digital books, provide story times and other learning opportunities, and structure child-appropriate technology to support literacy.

• Actively investigate community needs and develop

The proposed budget is available for viewing at the Woodridge Public Library and Village Hall. dlively@buglenewspapers.com

Letter to the Editor

Letter to the Editor

You be the judge

Mueller for County Board

Dear Editor:

Just like you, I care deeply and profoundly about the future of our children and grandchildren.

Will our kids be afforded the same opportunities as us given the ever-increasing tax hikes on middle class families? We all see the wasteful and reckless government spending on things other than core and critical services. Skyrocketing taxes will drive our families and business out of the county.

I’m supporting Charles Mueller for County Board to once and for all put an end to government

On Tuesday, March 20, voters will have a chance to cast their ballot in the Illinois primary for national, state and local offices.

Often overlooked among the many candidates are the men and women running for judge. That is unfortunate because judges make critical decisions on a daily basis that directly affect the lives and liberties of all of us. Learning about the qualifications of judicial candidates, and voting for those who are most qualified, will help ensure that we have a quality judiciary. Bar association ratings and newspaper endorsements are two ways voters can become better informed about the candidates’ qualifications.

The Illinois State Bar Association conducts evaluations and polls to let voters know how the candidates’ peers in the profession view their qualifications for office. Chief among these qualifications are legal ability, impartiality, and integrity.These ratings are readily available to the public at www. isba.org/YouBeTheJudge.

We encourage voters to download our ratings and take them into the voting booth.They will provide an invaluable guide and help ensure that we select the most qualified men and women as judges.

John G. Locallo President, Illinois State Bar Association

Through consolidation, streamlining, technology and innovation Charles Mueller wants all elected officials to consider the possibility of eliminating outdated services and do away with the dead weight political hires and consultants. Consider privatizing services and the county will do away with the crazy pension liabilities put on the backs of our children. This will REDUCE your tax burden.

He will tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear. I believe he has the skills, experience and resources to bring about effective change working on the county board and will look to keep the ball moving forward like Honorable Jeff Redick and Brien Sheahan who have served with distinction.

Ready or not, here it comes. The week ahead may offer you more than your fair share of golden opportunities. Don’t waste valuable time, but burn the midnight oil to end up with solid accomplishment.

Go for the gold. This is an excellent week to launch new ideas, procedures or important enterprises. You will find that compromise is the best avenue to follow for lasting success and harmony.

Troubles take to the hills in the face of titanic efforts. In the week to come, you will find others ready, willing and able to cooperate. You can make key purchases that require good taste and style.

The earth can move for you. Make earth-shaking decisions this week, or ask for a commitment from a special someone. You can easily improve your vision of the future by moving beyond the past.

Win friends and influence others this week. Make good on promises to win respect and admiration. To derive benefits from the good will aimed your way, you must fulfill the expectations of others.

What lies beneath can help you rise high. You don’t need to have the keys to the building to own a share of the mineral rights. Your hard work and enterprise will win you favors and rewards this week.

Mustangs upset in sectional semis

By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

Things seemed to be going the way Downers Grove South wanted early in its sectional opening game last Friday at East Aurora.

BOYS BASKETBALL The Mustangs withstood a hot first-half of shooting by Metea Valley’s Ryan Solomon for a fourpoint halftime advantage.

However, the Mustangs shot only 30 percent (9 of 30) from the field in the second half, while Metea Valley fired a blistering 58 percent (14 of 24) to erase any deficit and win the game 60-51.

“They outplayed us in the second half and that’s the bottom line,” Downers Grove South coach Jay Baum said.

“They stuck to their game plan and did some things that they wanted to do and we got away from ours and were not able to catch up. You have to give them credit.”

After trading a few baskets early in the third quarter, Metea Valley closed the period on a 16-5 run to take the lead for good.

“We played horrible defense in the second half,” said senior Jerron Wilbut. “They hit some open shots, and part of the reason was they were wide open.”

The Mustangs missed several long jumpers in that stretch and only managed one offensive rebound.

“We held them down in the first half, we just couldn’t do what we had to do in the second half,” Baum said. “When you are a jump shooting team, you live and die by it. We won 23 games with defense and athleticism and some good shooting. We missed some layups, maybe we got a

little excited around the basket.

Some of the shots maybe weren’t the best shots, but I thought we had some pretty good looks. We didn’t rebound as well as we could have offensively and it all adds up to we got beat.”

The Mustangs attempted a comeback in the end with good full-court pressure and was able to make the game interesting, but Metea Valley hit free throws when it needed to seal the win.

“We played hard down the stretch and I commend my team,” Wilbut said. “We played hard, we got some steals, it just wasn’t enough.”

Metea Valley lost the sectional final to West Aurora, but was still one of the many quality opponents the Mustangs faced this year. “(Metea Valley) will probably be ranked in the top 10 soon, so that would make all six of our losses to teams that have been ranked in the top 10,” Baum said. “We didn’t back down from anybody. I am extremely disappointed it’s over.”

“When you play the kind of schedule we do, you get some real good wins and you lose to some top teams,” Wilbut said.

The loss meant the final game for five Downers Grove South seniors.

“I am proud of my seniors, I can’t say enough about them. Kevin Honn and Jamall (Millison), I coached every game of theirs for four years,” Baum said. “Jerron is a great talent that is hopefully playing for a major university next year.

Nick Vanek, I can’t say enough about him. He tore his ACL in the fall and a lot of kids would have said,‘forget it, I’ll just rehab for basketball.’ He didn’t. He came to every single practice.

He had major ACL surgery and was back in four months and that’s unbelievable. Greg Garro

didn’t play one minute of varsity basketball last year and we are not where we are today without him.”

It was Wilbut (12 points) and Garro (10) who led the Mustangs, while Honn added eight and Millison had six. Solomon led all scorers with 20 points for Metea Valley, while Kenny Obendorf added 19.

The seniors enjoyed their season and careers at South.

“We have had a lot of triumphs,” Wilbut said. “I have been with this group of guys for so long, it is hard to take, but I guess we have to just move on.

It has been a blessing playing for Downers South. Coach (Baum) was amazing to play for and it was an amazing coaching staff.”

“We were right in every game,” Garro said.“We just couldn’t get over this hump. We knew we could have beat Proviso (East).

We only lost to them by three at their place. We had them circled on the schedule at the Hinsdale Central Supersectional. It is too bad we couldn’t take care of business here. If we could have got over this hump, we could have gone a long way.

“I’d go to battle with this team any day. Especially the seniors, we are so close, we will battle for each other.” mark@buglenewspapers.com

During her four-year stint at Bolingbrook, Morgan Tuck got accustomed to winning.

In four years on varsity, Tuck compiled a record of 112 wins and nine losses. She won three consecutive Class 4A state titles.

ALL-AREA As a freshman, Tuck was Illinois Ms. Basketball and was tabbed National freshman and sophomore of the year by ESPNHS. Despite a four-overtime loss this season in the Hinsdale Central Supersectional, the wins keep coming for Tuck this offseason.

She has already been named 2011-12 Player of the Year by the Chicago Sun-Times and has been dubbed Gatorade Illinois Girls Basketball Player of the Year.

Her honors continue as she has been named as the Voyager Media Player of the Year.

“Morgan is a top notch player and a top notch kid,” said Bolingbrook coach Tony Smith.

“I have been blessed to coach her. I think she is the Player of the Year.”

Tuck will head to the University of Connecticut the day after graduation and play for the Huskies next year.

“I am going there because they are a winning program,” she said.

“Coach (Geno) Auriemma is a winner and I want to be part of that and contribute to that.”

During this season, the 6-foot, 2-inch Tuck averaged 29 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.7 steals.

She will compete in the McDonald’s All-American Game March 28 at the United Center in Chicago.

She will be joined in the game

by Niles West’s Jewell Loyd, who will attend Notre Dame next season and play in the same conference as Tuck.

Loyd tallied more than 3,000 points this season and competed with Tuck for top awards this season.

“Competing with the best makes you the best,”Tuck said.“In college, we will play against each other more than we did in high school and that will be fun.”

Special mention: JEWELL LOYD The NotreDame bound senior—a prep All-Amer ican and a perennial a l l - s t a t e pick—and is one of the most prolific players in the history of IHSA girls basketball. Loyd’s 201112 season stats speak for themselves—26.9 points, 12 rebounds, 3.9 steals and 2.1 blocked shots per game. She also finishes her fabulous four-year tenure at Niles West with 3,077 career points (seventh all-time in the IHSA), 1,478 rebounds (12th all-time) and 275 blocked shots (18th all-time)—all while playing guard. “I’ve had some of our conference coaches tell me that she’s the best player in the state of Illinois they’ve ever seen, right up there with (Naperville Central product) Candace Parker,” said Niles West coach Tony Konsewicz.

First team: KIERA CURRIE T h e Romeoville junior post p l a y e r averaged 16.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game for the SPC champs.

“Kiera did a great job this year controlling the paint,” Carrasco said. “She’s probably the strongest player in the conference. She is a force and is a very good player and a true team player.”

BRIGID HANLEY The senior from Plainfield C e n t r a l bounced back from two ACL surgeries to post 18.4 points per game, 74 steals and 74 assists, while shooting 73 percent from the free throw See ALL-AREA, page 13

Mark Gregory/Bugle staff

Bolingbrook’s Morgan Tuck is the Voyager Media Girls Basketball Player of the Year.

Sports ALL-AREA Continued from page 12 line. She finished her career as the District 202 all-time scoring leader with 1,536 points, the single season scoring leader (514), single game (36) and all time assists (181).

“She deserves everything she’s getting right now,” Central coach Mark Krusz said. “I’m so happy that she can do this in her senior year after everything she’s done.”

SIDNEY PRASSE B e n e t senior led the sectional finalists with 14.9 points per game on the year. “ S i d probably has the quickest release of any player I’ve had the opportunity to coach,” Paul said. “All she needs is a little opening and she’s ready to shoot. She’s dangerous no matter where she is on the court.”

Second team: CARLIE CORRIGAN Plainfield North junior had 18.7 points and 9.9 rebounds, while also notching 73 steals. “ C a r l i e has done a great job this season taking her game to the next level,” North coach Jim Walter said. “She played out of position this year yet never complained and still had the best season of any player in PNHS history. Her next step is to work on her range, ball handling, and defending quicker players so that she can truly become one of the area’s elite players next season.”

JACQUI GRANT Grant, a 6-3 junior center, is the Hawks’ go-to player inside.

But she’s also developed her game over the past three seasons to the point where she faces the basket and takes opposing defenders off the dribble, as

well as spot up for a threepointer. Grant averaged 13.1 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season while shooting 53 percent from the field. Already the school’s No. 3 all-time leading rebounder (589), Grant has scholarship offers on the table from DePaul, South Florida, Marquette and New Mexico.

“We’re going to move her from a 5 to a 4 (next year), which immediately will get her more touches,” said Maine South coach Mark Smith.

CHRISTEN PRASSE Junior ran the potent offense for Benet. She averaged 13.4 points with 72 assists and 63 steals.

“Christen is a very smart player,” Paul said.

“She runs the point for us and does everything you would expect. She has long arms and can post you up.”

THE BUGLE MARCH 14, 2012

KEIERA RAY P e n n Universitybound senior averaged 10.8 points, 3.7 assists, 3.9 steals and 4.6 rebounds per game for Bolingbrook.

“She got better and better and is shooting the ball all year,” Smith said. “She went to the hole stronger, shot the three and made good choices with the ball and making sure we passed it to the right person.”

FAITH SUGGS A freshman from Plainfield East, Suggs burst onto the scene with 13 points, five rebounds and two steals per game.

“Faith is an outstanding teammate and workhorse,” East coach Missy Mitidiero said. “She is a girl who strives to always better her game. She is one who

13

watches film at home, goes to the gym extra to put up shots, and lifts on the weekends. She is a rarity, not only in the women’s game, but in high school sports. There is much more to come from Faith.”

Third team: KENNEDY CATTENHEAD Bolingbrook junior led the area with 155 assists, while averaging five points and 2.8 rebounds per game.

Cattenhead also grabbed 82 rebounds, had 53 steals and eight blocks.

“She had a great year,” said Bolingbrook coach Tony Smith.

“She has another great year ahead of her.”

ALISON DEC Senior averaged 11.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game See ALL-AREA, page 14

THE BUGLE MARCH 14, 2012

ALL-AREA Continued from page 13 for Downers South.

Dec shot 52 from the field this season. From the post, she averaged 1.6 assists and almost a steal per game.

“She is a very, very good offensive player and tough to defend,” said South coach Ellen O’Brien. “She can post up and hit the 15-footer. She is also creative and finds ways to take the ball to the basket. She was a key player for us.”

MICHELLE MAHER M a i n e S o u t h ’ s versatile senior guard, a fouryear varsity p e r f o r m e r, helped lead the Hawks to third place at the 2011 Class 4A state tournament and to a 25-7 record this season.

Maher, who’s third on Maine South’s all-time list in both single-season (63) and career (147) three-point baskets, and fourth all-time in points (1,161), averaged just under 11 points per game this winter. She’ll continue her basketball career at Western Illinois University.

“She’s worn so many different hats for us and wore them very, very well over the last four years,” said Maine South coach Mark Smith.“The (WIU) coaches are saying she’s going to be face of program the next four years, and you don’t hear that too often.”

ABBY SMITH A junior point guard from Romeoville, Smith totaled 9.8 points per game to go along with 117 assists and an area-best 114 steals.

“Abby is a tremendous girl,” Carrasco said.“She really stepped up this year. She came out of her shell at Oswego East and really helped us win that game. Her maturity level really showed.

Without Abby, Romeoville High

School basketball isn’t where it’s at right now.”

GABBY WILLIAMS Plainfield East junior avera ged 14 points and seven rebounds from her post position.

“Gabby is one of the most under-rated players in our area,” Mitidiero said. “She came to East and surprised the heck out of me with her enthusiasm for the game and her ability to get anywhere from 15-30 points a night. She is someone I am extremely excited to work with in the offseason to build dominance in the paint on both ends of the court.”

Fourth team: SHANNON BUTLER Senior was the main post threat for Joliet Catholic, averaging 11.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

“Shannon has been with the varsity team since her sophomore year,” said JCA coach Ed Shodrof. “She is one of the toughest workers that we have ever had. Her game improved each year as she led a very young team into a bright future. She will be a winner in life.”

KHADIJA COOLEY Senior averaged 12.6 points, 3.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game for Joliet West.

“Khadija was the ultimate

Sports team player.

Our offense ran through her,” said West coach Kevin Michaels. “She has excellent ball handling skills and has a great shot. She was our team leader for scoring and assists.”

NIJEA DIXON The senior guard led Joliet Central, averaging 13 points per game this season.

She was named to the Oswego East Holiday Tournament AllTournament Team.

“Nijea is an electrifying player that gives her all every night on the court. Many coaches wished they had her on their team,” said Central coach Brian Reed.

MADELINE EILERS Senior from Benet was limited down the stretch of the season with a partially torn ACL, but still managed 9.2 points on the season.

“We missed Madeline,” Paul said. “We were really hard to guard when we had three threepoint shooters. You couldn’t play zone.

“She has a very quick release and had a great threepoint percentage, which is incredible.”

TAYLOR QUAIN The senior averaged 12.9

points per game for Lockport this season. She also totaled 69 steals and 21 blocked shots.

“Along with being our team captain, Taylor was one of our most versatile athletes who played both the forward and guard position for us this season,” said Lockport coach Krista Peterson.

“She also had to defend both the guard and post positions as well. Her willingness to do anything that is asked of her to the best of her ability is what makes her such a valuable and unselfish competitor.”

Game grows in popularity among local communities Mark Gregory Staff Reporter

In 1965 in Bainbridge Island, WA, congressman Joel Pritchard and businessman Bill Bell invented a game for their families to play that consisted of hand held wooden paddles, a badminton net and a perforated plastic ball that belonged to Pickles, the Pritchard family dog.

By 1972, the men had created a corporation to protect the creation of their new sport, named pickleball.

Since then the game has spread from family parties to physical education classes and more heavily to senior citizen retirement communities.

As the game began to grow in the Will County area senior communities, seniors were looking for a place to play in the winter months.

“We have played outdoors in Carillon,” said Walter Voyt. “We were looking for somewhere to play in the winter. All the rich guys go to Florida and play and us poor guys stay here and play.”

They found that place last year.

Eich’s Sports, located at 24316 W. 143rd Street in Plainfield,

opened its basketball court to pickleballers.

Open gyms are held Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 10 a.m. Cost is $5.

“I have a physical education background, so I knew what it was,” said Brian Eich, owner of Eich’s Sports. “At the time, we had one of my old teachers from Plainfield High School, Karen Roppa, was helping out here and she said we should try it.”

This summer, two more communities, Grand Haven in Romeoville and Carillon Lakes in Crest Hill, will start playing outdoors.

“It is awesome to be able to see people a little older staying active,” Eich said. “They will play for two hours straight and don’t take a break. The great thing about the game is it is available to people of all skill levels. We will have beginners courts and advanced courts, but the skilled players teach the beginners. Every year more and more people coming.”

Dave Arnold of Shorewood just started playing in November, 2011 and enjoyed it all winter.

“It is a great sport. It took off in Florida and Arizona and then has spread nationwide,” Arnold

said. “It is mainly in the senior community, however, the reason I like it is that it is not gender specific, women can play as well as men; young kids can play as well as older people, so it is really a universal game. it is great that Brian opened this up for us and gives us a place to play.”

Ellen Zalewski of Romeoville said many pickleballers also play tennis, but find the smaller court less taxing.

“Many of us play tennis, so this is in addition,” she said. “And the court is a little smaller than a tennis court, which is nice because you don’t have as much

court to cover.”

Eich said that with the popularity and competitiveness of some of the players, he hopes next year to have open gym as well as a league where teams of two players have assigned game times and opponents and play in a bracket-style format.

Is it time to jump back into stocks?

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

As the Dow Jones Industrial Average inches closer to the psychologically important level of 13,000, the S&P 500 reclaims almost all of the losses sustained since June 2008, and the NASDAQ nears its highest level in a decade, the chorus gets louder and louder: “Is it time to get back into stocks?” This is a particularly thorny question for any investor, but the stakes are especially high for retirees.

I want to address two particular groups who are wondering whether to jump back into stocks: the “I’m sick and tired of low interest rates” retirees and the post-financial-crisis stress disorder sufferers.

Low interest rates. The Federal Reserve has kept short-term interest rates at the current level of zero to a quarter of a percent

for over three years, and in its last meeting said that low rates could extend through 2014. For people who have worked hard and saved their entire lives only to enter retirement amidst these low interest rates, it has been a brutal period. The further away we get from the financial crisis, the more people begin to test their risk appetites and nibble on stocks.

While I am a big fan of diversified portfolios and truly believe in the long-term performance of stocks, I want to remind savers that you are likely in cash for good reason: You really don’t like risk. But the risk averse can still stay the course, while trying to squeak out a bit more money. One of my favorite websites for finding good interest rate products is www. depositaccounts.com.

Check out some longer-term CDs with low penalties, and shop around

at credit unions that offer better interest than most banks.

Although rates are low now and could remain so for another year or two, most believe that interest rates will be headed higher over the next decade, so patience will serve you well.

Post-financial-crisis stress disorder. Lots of people couldn’t stomach the stock market in 2008-’09 and they bailed out. If you fall into this category, it might not be prudent to jump back in after all, stocks are still a volatile asset class, and it’s possible you just really don’t want to go on that ride again.

But if you realize now that you made an emotional decision by selling out and need a way to get back in, do so with some purpose in mind so that you don’t make the same mistake again. Start by taking a risk assessment quiz. Given the ups and downs of the past four years, you’re

likely to know exactly how you felt about market swings. Most retirement plans and mutual fund companies have risk tests available online.

Once you complete the test, most sites will recommend a portfolio allocation with funds that match your feelings about risk with your investment time horizon. If you are sitting on lots of cash and are afraid to make the jump all at once, choose a fixed percentage of your account to reach your desired allocation.

If you are a balanced investor, maybe allocate 10 percent a month in stocks for 5 months until you are 50 percent in stocks. Once you get there, stick to your plan; otherwise, you will continue the terrible cycle of selling low and buying high.

Always remember to rebalance so that your allocation remains in check. This isn’t easy; it requires that you sell winners on the way

up and reinvest the proceeds in the areas that have done badly.

But just imagine if you’d been rebalancing at the end of 2007 and selling stocks and buying bonds as we headed into the crash!

If you are rotating back into stocks, make sure that you have enough cash to cover your needs. For retirees, a good rule of thumb is to keep one to two years of cash needs in cash or cash equivalents, so you aren’t forced to sell assets at the wrong time.

Break free of office war with difficult employee Q. One of my coworkers is the most oppositional, stubborn and argumentative people I have ever met. If I say black, he says white.

I spend half my day arguing with him and the other half trying to point out why he doesn’t have his facts right. How do I get free of this conflict?

A. You can stop the war by realizing it really does take two to tango - or to have an office war.

You will never get any peace at your office if you keep jumping in with your coworker to have a power struggle.

Here are the magic words when you’re dealing with an argumentative individual on the job, “You may be right.” People who are stubborn and adore

power struggles simply don’t know how to respond if you concede that they may have a point.

Y o u ’ l l discover the hardest part for you will be to stop trying to get your coworker to see things your way. Ironically, the people we fight the most with at our office are the people who have the same weaknesses as ourselves. You’ll only get peace if you are willing to stop your battle to prove your point.

The reason these office power struggles are so seductive and

emotionally juicy is that many of us confuse being right with being competent or good people. We go to war not over any particular fact but over the emotional fear that, if we can’t win the battle to be right, we’ve been publicly humiliated.

The truth is that effective and powerful people realize that winning the war to be right is merely the consolation price in our career. The real prize is looking into the future to see what result we need and going after that goal. If other people get to be right in the short term and you get the outcomes you need in the long run, who do you think is the real winner?

In order to get the peace

you desire, realize you’ll find it tempting to jump back into the war next time you see your coworker. Forgive yourself if you start down your usual path of arguing back. Then take a deep breath, let him know he may have a point, and get back to focusing on your own productivity.

Your opponent will be temporarily surprised, throw a few more punches your way, and then amble along and find someone less wise to resume his workplaces battles.

there any way to be able to stop working sooner?

A. Yes, work at moving your career in the direction of things you actually enjoy doing. Then you’ll be able to make money and enjoy your “hobby.”

Are law firm services contesting home values legitimate?

Dear Dave, We keep getting offers in the mail from a law firm that offers to protest the assessed value of our home for property tax purposes.They say that we’ll pay them nothing if they can’t save us money, but if they do the fee is 50 percent of the property tax savings. Do you think it’s ethical to dispute these findings, and are these services legitimate?

Kristen Dear Kristen, There’s no real problem with this, so long as there are no up-front fees.

The real question,though,is whether your assessment is accurate.

First, there would have be some kind of basis for the protest – like if your assessment is really out of line compared to similar homes in the neighborhood. Usually, they aren’t assessed at 100 percent. But if you discovered that a comparable home was assessed at 73 percent and yours was based on 82 percent,then you’d have both an ethical and legal right to protest the assessment.

I think one of two things will happen. If you talk to this firm, you’re either going to find out that there’s something going on with the tax base that makes them think they can actually reduce the numbers, or they’re going to try and hit you with a “processing fee” or some other kind of garbage.

If this is the case, you should just walk away.

two other offers. The pay for both is the same. One is short-term, nine months to a year, and it has a per diem so I wouldn’t have to move.

The other job would last much longer, but I’d have to move and that would throw me about $3,500 further into debt.This company acts like it doesn’t want to help with the moving expenses, but I think I’d like the job better. What do you think I should do?

Michael Dear Michael, I’d move. And I’d also try to negotiate the heck out of this company and get them to foot some of the bill for the move.

If you’re valuable enough, and

they like you enough to want you on their team, then I’d use that as a negotiating point before accepting the position.Tell them that you really want the job and you’re excited

about it, but the only thing holding you back is $3,500 in moving costs.

You never know until you ask.

And at that point they may see the wisdom of kicking in some cash to

make it easier for you to decide!

residents as well as non-residents where Woodridge is the primary Rotary Club. Two scholarships are available.

The scholarships provide financial support to students who have participated in community service activities and have done so over several years’time.The Rotary Club is looking for students who have made a difference within

their community by enriching the lives of others, especially those in need. Applications demonstrating participation in community service activities and volunteer work will carry more weight.

While school and church activities are important, volunteerism throughout the community will score higher points in most cases.

One exception to this would be a

church mission trip to do physical labor for others. Students must have a C average or better to be eligible for the award.

Applications are available online at www.woodridgerotary.org, at the Woodridge Public Library, or at the Guidance Counselor’s Offices at North and South High Schools, Benet Academy and Montini Catholic High School.

Applications may be filled out online and returned to jburke5@ comcast.net or printed and returned by mail or in person to Susan McNeil-Marshall,Woodridge Public Library, 3 Plaza Drive, Woodridge IL 60517. Questions may be directed to Julie Burke at jburke5@comcast.net. Deadline for all applications is Tuesday April 3.

competitive prices for electrical services for our residents, the Village of Woodridge needs approval from residents through a referendum.The Village Board has placed the needed referendum regarding residential and small business electrical services on the March 20th Ballot. The

referendum asks our residents if the Village should have the authority to seek competitive pricing bids for electrical services under a single contract that would include residents and small businesses.

Why: It is hoped that by combining electrical service for

all individual customers into a single bid, consumers will have lower electric bills and save money.

Voter approval of the referendum is just the first step in the process of trying to achieve better consumer pricing for residents and small businesses. If
