Judge gags details of Hickory St. murders By Stewart Warren For the Bugle
A Will County judge told police and attorneys March 1 not to talk about the sensational Jan. 10 double murder of two young Joliet men that happened on Hickory Street. Judge Gerald Kinney also sealed the court records related to the deaths of Eric Glover and Terrance Rankins, both 22. That means the records cannot be examined by the public. The court orders were related to a story that appeared earlier this week in the Joliet Patch, an on-line newspaper. It quoted Joliet police reports that allegedly discussed something Alisa R. Massaro, 19, of 1121 N. Hickory St., Joliet, and Joshua F. Miner, 24, of 601 W. Jefferson St., Joliet, did after the strangulation killings. The pair allegedly had sex while on top of the victims’ bodies, according to the Joliet Patch story. The attorneys representing the defendants are concerned that the Joliet Patch’s story could prejudice the jurors who eventually will hear the case. Massaro, Miner, Adam M. Landerman, 19, of 1053 Glenwood Ave., Joliet, and Bethany L. McKee, 18, of 200 Westshore Drive, Shorewood, all have been arrested
and charged with first-degree murder. They pleaded not guilty and are being held in the Will County jail. On the day of the murder, Rankins and Glover allegedly came to Massaro’s home expecting to have sex with her and McKee.They instead were strangled. When police arrived at the Hickory Street home, Massaro, Miner and Landerman, who is the son of a female Joliet police officer, were still inside the residence. McKee later was arrested in Kankakee. During the hearing, Kinney also urged the prosecutors and defense attorneys to find out if someone in their offices had leaked the police reports to the press. There also was a brief discussion about the possibility of having a special prosecutor investigate and determine who released the police reports. Joliet attorney Chuck Bretz is representing McKee. The other defendants are being represented by lawyers from the Will County Public Defender’s Office. Bretz told the judge that he already had done an internal investigation and none of his employees had distributed the police reports. “(Chief Deputy Will County State’s Attorney) Ken Grey says they believe it came from the Joliet police,” Bretz told
the judge. Before the hearing began, the defendants sat quietly at the front of the courtroom and looked at the floor as they spoke with their attorneys. Landerman occasionally glanced at the crowd seated in the gallery. Kinney began the proceedings by giving subpoenaed documents to the attorneys including some of Landerman’s school and hospital records. After the hearing, the families and friends of the victims waited outside the courtroom to speak to the prosecutors. Many of them wore something that memorialized the two dead young men. Jasmine Gatson of Joliet said she made the small laminated signs hanging from lanyards that some of them wore. Rankins was her high school boyfriend, and they had remained friends afterward she said. “We miss him a lot,” Gatson said. Although someone had told her about the sex stories in the Joliet Patch, Gatson had not read them. She didn’t want to read them. “His mom said, ‘I wish the media would step away from it and let us grieve,’” Gatson added. The case will return to court at 9:30 a.m. March. 11
Channahon man gets 90 years for home invasion murder A Joliet man who was found guilty of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of a Channahon man has been sentenced to 90 years in prison. Matthew Edwards, 21, also was found guilty of attempted first-degree murder in December at the conclusion of a bench trial. Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak’s sentence Feb.27 included 50 years for the murder count, plus a consecutive 40 years for the attempted murder count. Edwards shot Joshua Terdic in the head during a home invasion at Terdic’s Channahon apartment on July 7, 2009.Terdic died 10 days later. A female victim, Lauren Vasilakis, also was shot but survived. Three other defendants also were convicted and sentenced in connection with the murder and home invasion. Jason Orasco, 29, of Channahon, was sentenced to 75 years in prison, and Ashley Hill, 21, of Joliet, was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Hill pleaded guilty to home invasion and testified against a fourth defendant, Mary Vetor, 27, of Joliet, who hatched the plan to steal money and drugs from Terdic. Vetor drove Edwards and Orasco to Terdic’s apartment and supplied the weapons -- a gun and a baseball bat.Vetor was sentenced to 61 years in prison. Edwards is the final defendant to be convicted and sentenced.

Foster: Compromise key to solving major problems By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter
Newly-elected U.S. Rep. Bill Foster is set to take measures built on what makes the most business sense with independent solutions to today’s problems — even if it means he has to compromise. Foster ousted veteran Republican Judy Biggert in the November election, who once claimed a stronghold in the area for more than a decade.The new 11th District stretches through Chicago’s western suburbs and covers five counties: Kane, Kendall, DuPage, Will and Cook and includes all or parts of Aurora, Montgomery, North Aurora, Oswego, Plainfield, Darien, Downers Grove, Naperville, Lisle, Willowbrook, Woodridge, Bolingbrook, Crest Hill, Joliet, New Lenox, Romeoville, Shorewood, and Burr Ridge. Foster is now making his rounds through the communities he serves, hoping to gauge the largest needs and concerns of the area. “I’ve been meeting with local mayors and taking a driving tour of their cities—it’s a tremendous way to learn the history and the real politics of the city,” said Foster. “This way, I get to see where all the dead

bodies are buried so to speak … It’s a way to learn the real needs and what they would like first from the federal government. That’s a big part of my job and my staff’s job.”
No newcomer New to the 11th District, but not to politics, Naperville resident Foster is a scientist, businessman and former Congressman, who served from March 2008 until January 2011 as the representative of Illinois’ 14th Congressional District. He said his focus now will be personally meeting with local mayors and Rotary clubs to listen to their input. In time, he hopes to get back to meetings with his constituents as well. He’d like to
revisit his practice of “coffee on the corner,” of years past, where he set up shop at the local grocery store to chat with citizens. But he said he first has to get back to Washington and help correct the mess left by the former Congress, calling the “sequester the final act of the worst Congress we’ve seen in a lifetime. “It has been the least productive Congress in 50 years in terms of the number of bills passed and some decisions like the sequester were unnecessary and lazy-minded,” said Foster. With deep cuts across the board, he feels a need to focus on finding a balanced alternative to the sequesterian cuts he feels will hurt the local economy. “There are many places where cuts are reasonable and necessary, and, in fact, larger cuts could be justified, but there are places which are already underfunded, where cuts will be felt deeply,” said Foster. ““It’s clear that Americans are fed up with the partisan gridlock and governing by crisis, and so am I.” Believing there’s no other way to resolve critical issues facing the country, he intends to work in a bi-partisan manner to create measures to combat major local issues. He said that includes the housing crisis, one of the biggest issues he sees for
Will County. He also intends to keep a watchful eye on the Will County intermodal system –

THE BUGLE/SENTINEL MARCH 6, 2013
FOSTER Continued from page 3 Joliet, and one being developed in Wilmington -- protecting its status as a main transportation hub. As a businessman who started a company at the age of 19 with his brother and $500 in seed money from his parents, Foster is passionate about the revitalization of manufacturing as a means to balance the economy. “My company manufactures 70 percent of all theater lighting equipment in the
United States, employs 650 people, and it is all done in the Midwest,” he said. And that is something I am passionate about. I got into politics because of the precipitous decline of manufacturing.” He believes poorly executed trade agreements giving China the opportunity to undercut American business are at the root of the U.S.’s manufacturing decline. And he is striving to reverse that. In addition, Foster believes strongly that now is not the time to cut funds dedicated to cybersercurity, a time when the U.S. has seen more than $1 trillion in intellectual property heisted. Foster believes in a true business approach to government spending—with 100 percent of federal funds being spent on items with a high return, such as education. “Anything less than that, you need to have an honest discussion on how much spending on things like military or the elderly, thinking clearly
about the differences,” said Foster. Democrats’ victory in the election, he added, “was a reflection of what people wanted—that they didn’t want people who took a pledge not to compromise as did my opponent; that they wanted someone with a business background to hammer out details instead of a politician retreating behind talking heads.” Foster encourages constituents to contact his office with their concerns and reach out. Two office locations soon will open in Aurora and Joliet. Foster began his political career in 2007 by challenging former Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert in one of the most famously Republican districts in the nation. Then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama endorsed Foster. In what was described as “A Political Earthquake,” Foster won that election, becoming the first Democrat to represent the district in more than 60 years. President Obama again endorsed Foster for his run in November.

H o ro s c o p e s When the going gets slow, just keep in mind that you are gaining valuable experience. Take a much needed break during the first half of the week and spend quality time with a special someone.
Friends fall in love. You are romantic, charming and full of fun. Someone you think of as a merely friend may think you are serious about taking a relationship to the next level in the week to come.
Time has been wasted. You have not accomplished everything you set out to accomplish because you are easily sidetracked. During the week ahead, work hard to gather necessary credentials.
Real success might come from what you do, but whom you know is just as important. Impromptu intellectual conversations and meetings might broaden your social horizons in the coming week.
It doesn’t matter whether the glass is half full or half empty, just be grateful you have the glass and something in it. In the coming week, strive to strike a compromise and accomplish dreams with loved ones.
Never confuse the path with the destination. In the upcoming week, you may cross paths with people who can illuminate the problems, as well as the benefits, of sharing your dreams and plans with others.
To feel rich, just count all the gifts you have that money can’t buy. During the week ahead, you may reap rewards for your efforts and experience a pleasant change or a major improvement in your situation.
Concentrate on inspiration rather than perspiration in the week ahead. Cut an elegant figure while keeping financial plans and arrangements clearly defined. You don’t need to work hard; maintain momentum.
Reassess, re-evaluate and rehabilitate your ideals. This week, you may enter a fresh phase in your reputation and public persona. You can gather valuable insights by studying or traveling.
You can always count on conditions changing. Even if there is a storm now, there can be sunshine somewhere in the forecast. Remain optimistic this week; a phone call can make the difference.
You may be torn between achieving your ambitions and doing what is expected of you in the upcoming week. Measure your success by the size of the smile on a significant other’s face.
Fools and their follies might do just fine. During the first half of the week, you might be luckier than usual. People will be impressed by your skills. Capitalize when others are magnetically drawn to you.

West rallies to win regional title By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
Three years ago as a freshman, Morris Dunnigan helped the then combined Joliet Township basketball team win the Bloom Regional title. After spending the last two seasons recovering from a torn ACL suffered early in his sophomore year, Dunnigan again took control of the game late and propelled Joliet West to its first regional crown since 1993, as the Tigers defeated T.F. North 40-37. “Our seniors, I love these kids like sons and I wanted to win this game for those seniors that are leaving this program because they have meant everything to me and they have done everything we have asked of them and more and this is their moment tonight,” said West coach Luke Yaklich. North’s Greg McClain was all over Dunnigan for three quarters, not letting him get many good looks at the basket. Then, trailing 36-33 with one minute, 45 seconds left in the game, Dunnigan methodically dribbled the ball up the court, lulling McClain into giving him just enough space as Dunnigan approached the top of the key where he buried the three-point
basket to tie the game and shift the momentum to the Tigers. “All night, he had me tired,” Dunnigan said. “He was all over me. That was the first chance I had for an open look and I took it.” After the teams swapped free throws, West had the ball with a minute left and Dunnigan dribbled the time down to 24 seconds left on the clock and West took a time out. The play was set up for Dunnigan to take the final shot in regulation, but that changed when he saw junior Allias Roberts-Burnett open under the basket. “It was originally supposed to be me going to the rim, but I am not a selfish player,” Dunnigan said. “When I see an open teammate, I get the ball to them. Here, I had to. He was wide open right at the rim. All he had to do was go straight up.” Yalkich said although they planned on Dunnigan taking the final shot, the alternate call came from the timeout as well. “At the timeout, we were going to go 1-4 flat for Morris and told Morris to take the shot with about five seconds to go,” Yaklich said.

Hogen reaches milestone in win By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
Heading into the opening game of the state series against conference foe Plainfield Central, Minooka senior Jake Hogen knew he was just 16 points shy of setting Indian history and becoming the school’s first 1,000 point scorer. And because of that, he was pressing. “I was trying not to think about, but that was impossible,” Hogen said. “I had to think that my best shot of getting the 1,000 points is to win and play another game.” Hogan managed only three points at halftime, but the Indians pulled out to a lead on Darrin Myers’ 14 points before intermission. After the break, Hogen came out on fire, scoring 13 points in less than four minutes to lead Minooka past Central 65-50. He would end the game with 18 points and reach the milestone in the win. “Even though I really struggled in the first half, once I got one to go in the second half, it really built my confidence and they just started falling.” “We are really happy he could accomplish that tonight, we are really proud of him being the first kid in Minooka history to do that,” said Minooka coach Scott Tanaka. Tanaka said he was nervous when the pairings came out and he saw they were opposite Plainfield Central. “I’m not lying, I was scared. In both games, we won by double digits, but they were close throughout the games,” Tanaka said. “I tried telling these guys how difficult it is to beat a team three times, so I am proud of the way we came out tonight. “I told the guys it is really hard to beat a team three times and we really had to stay true to ourselves as a basketball team. I had a feeling it would be a close first half, and it was, but we just stayed doing what we do. We played good defense and found our shot.”
Mark Gregory/Bugle staff
Jake Hogen scored his 1,000th career point in the regional win.
While Hogen struggled early, it was Myers that kept the Indians ahead. “Darrin had it going in the first half and then Jake got it going, so it’s nice to see the seniors get going like that,”Tanaka said. Hogen was happy his teammate picked up the slack. “It was great to have him get going in the first half and me going in the second half,” Hogen said. “(Perry Jones) got us the
ball in the right spots for good shots.” Jones added six points and six assists, while Myers added 16. The Wildcats were led by Curtis Harrington (18 points) and Logan Velasquez (14 points). In the Thornwood Regional semifinal, the Indians fell 52-49 to Lincoln-Way North. Hogen paced the Indians in the game with 19 points. mark@buglenewspapers.com

USF baseball splits first two games of season After dropping an 11-10 decision in the opener, the University of St. Francis baseball team won the nightcap 1-0 as the 19th-ranked Saints began their spring break tour of central Florida by splitting a doubleheader against Aquinas College Sunday at Chain O’Lakes Park. USF took a 5-2 lead after two innings in game one.Junior center fielder David Kuhne (Metamora, Ill./ Metamora) belted the first pitch of the game for a double before coming around to score on an RBI single off the bat of senior third baseman Jesse Gregurich (Mazon, Ill./ Coal City). Gregurich later scored on a wild pitch. Sophomore catcher Brandon Mendoza’s (Tampa, Fla./ Tampa Catholic) two-out, two-run double capped a three-run USF outburst in the top of the
second inning. Aquinas tied the game with three runs in the bottom of the fourth, but USF regained the lead, 6-5, on freshman second baseman Luke Wyss’ (Westminster, Colo./ Standley Lake) run-scoring base hit in the fifth. Aquinas answered with four runs in its half of the fifth on a two-run home run from Steven Crawford and a two-run single from Taylor Pawlanta to reclaim the lead 9-6. Aquinas added another run in the sixth to take a 10-6 lead into the top of the seventh inning. USF rallied to tie the game with a four-run seventh, capped by a bases-clearing double from Kuhne, but Aquinas won it in walk-off fashion in the bottom half of the frame. After a walk, an error and a bunt single loaded the bases with
no one out, Pawlanta delivered a single through the right side of the infield to plate Brent Steele with the winning run. Tyler Cole, Aquinas’ third pitcher, received credit for the victory despite allowing the tying runs in the top of the seventh. Sophomore reliever Kyle Cunningham (Plainfield, Ill./ Joliet Catholic) took the loss for USF, allowing four hits and a pair of runs in 1.1 innings in relief of sophomore starter Adam Panayotovich (Palos Park, Ill./ Mount Carmel). Cunningham slipped to 1-1 on the year. Game two featured a pitchers’ duel between USF junior Jacob Butler (Channahon, Ill./ Minooka) and Aquinas’ Brendan Penny. The Saints (5-5) scored the game’s lone run in the bottom of the fourth inning.
WEST
forced 10 turnovers and held T.F. North to only four points. “To hold that team to four points in the fourth quarter is great,” Yaklich said. “When offense isn’t working, we cannot let it affect the defense and our defensive intensity never let down even when we
weren’t scoring the ball how we are used to scoring. That is the sign of a mature team and a tough team.” Dunnigan paced the team with 12 points, while Carl Terrell and Brandon McCullum tallied six each.
Continued from page 11 like to double team out of a timeout. It was a great call on his part and we told Morris to be ready and he was and Allias made the perfect cut and Morris found him. “Morris can get a shot for himself any possession he wants. He is that good and can create space for himself, but Morris is a willing passer. He wants nothing more than to see his team win and it doesn’t matter to him if he scores seven or 17 or 27. He is a competitor and he is someone who understands game pressure and game situation better than any player I have ever coached.” The last minute offensive highlights were the only ones for West, as they struggled offensively all night, however, they did not let that bother them on the defensive end, especially in the fourth quarter, as they

Gregurich doubled to lead off the frame before moving to third on junior left fielder Tim Reichert’s (Morton Grove, Ill./ Niles North) opposite field single. With one out, senior shortstop Mike Witas (Oak Lawn, Ill./ St. Laurence) hit a flare to short left field. Aquinas shortstop Austin King made a diving catch on the ball, but as his momentum carried him into the outfield, Gregurich was able to tag up and score on the play. Butler (1-1) allowed seven hits
without a walk and recorded 10 strikeouts en route to posting his sixth career shutout. He picked off three of Aquinas’ seven base runners on the afternoon. Penny allowed only three hits and one walk in six innings of work in his team’s 2013 debut. USF returns to action with a pair of games Monday. After taking on Siena Heights University at Chain O’Lakes Park at 9 a.m. (ET), the Saints will head to Lake Wales to face Warner University at 3 p.m

Edwards wins after nearly two-year drought By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service
The number is 70 — and no longer counting. As Denny Hamlin put it, Carl Edwards is “relevant again” after winning Sunday’s Subway Fresh Fit 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International Raceway in a green-whitecheckered-flag finish that took the race four laps past its posted distance of 312 laps. In beating Jimmie Johnson to the finish line by 1.024 seconds, Edwards broke a winless streak that had reached 70 races, dating to Mar. 6, 2011 at Las Vegas. Remarkably, Edwards broke another 70-race drought at the one-mile track in the Sonoran desert when he won at Phoenix in November 2010. Behind Edwards and Johnson, Denny Hamlin ran third, making the most of a daredevil move that cut the backstretch dogleg on the last lap and got his No. 11 Toyota past the No. 2 Ford of reigning series champion Brad Keselowski, who came home fourth. It was Keselowski, though, driving a Ford after Penske Racing’s between-season switch from Dodge, who gave Edwards the push that propelled him to the front on the final restart on Lap 315. For his part, Edwards hopes the momentum of his 20th career victory continues throughout the season. “When you’re struggling, it seems like time slows down,” Edwards said after being told of Hamlin’s “relevant” comment. “You’re working harder, you’re trying more, you’re questioning yourself more. ... (Last year) was one of the longest years of my
life, to work that hard and not get the victories. “I’m very,very happy to be back in the mix here.A victory is huge for so many reasons. Last year we didn’t make the Chase. For me to sit home, while everybody was at the Chase stuff in Vegas—that was a little bit of a shock to me. I did not like that at all. “So to get a victory helps us be in a better position for the Chase. It just feels good to win. So, yeah, I hope Denny’s right. I hope we’re relevant or more than relevant all year. I hope we dominate this thing.” Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished fifth, losing his winning chances when he spun his tires on the penultimate restart on Lap 243. Clint Bowyer, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton rounded out the top 10. Edwards No. 99 Ford Fusion led 67 straight green-flag laps after the restart on Lap 243, but Ken Schrader’s crash on Lap 309 sent the race to overtime and gave the crew chiefs of the leading cars nervous moments as they tried to recalculate fuel mileage. The top-14 cars stayed out for a restart on Lap 315, and Edwards had enough gas to complete two laps and win the race. On the last two restarts, Johnson felt Edwards played fast and loose with the zone, delineated by red marks on the wall, within which the leader is required to accelerate. “I felt like Carl didn’t follow the restart protocol and was slower than the pace car on his last two restarts, and it gives the leader a huge advantage when that happens,” Johnson said. “You’re supposed to wait until you get between the two lines and take off, and this was all going on before (the restart zone).”

Hamburg H
amburg is Germany’s second-largest city and its most important port. Like other great European “second cities” - such as Marseille, Glasgow, and Barcelona - this northern port city has a special pride. Popular with Germans (but a rare stop for Americans), Hamburg has a real feel and edgy charm - and an honest grip on where it came from and where it’s going. Travelers looking for quaint, Old World Europe won’t find it in Hamburg.The city’s medieval center was virtually leveled by a huge fire in 1842, and World War II bombing decimated the rest. Today’s city center is a soulless mixture of office buildings and brand-name chain shops. Instead, Hamburg’s allure is around the edges, showcasing reminders of Germany’s industrial prosperity. A century ago, Hamburg’s port was the world’s third largest, and between 1850 and 1930, more than 5 million Germans emigrated to the United States from here.These days, the city’s fishy maritime atmosphere with a constant breeze and the evocative cry of seagulls - gives Hamburg an almost Scandinavian feel that’s worlds away from the sun-drenched, Baroque joviality of Bavaria. One city-center sight that’s worth visiting is the 647-room City Hall. After the previous City TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES PHOTO
Hamburg built its City Hall in the late 19th century to show off the wealth and grandeur of imperial Germany.
Hall burned down in the fire, the city constructed the current building to highlight the wealth and grandeur of turn-of-the20th-century imperial Germany. It shows off Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Gothic, and other thenpopular historicist styles. From City Hall, a short walk north leads to Binnenalster, the first (and smaller) of Hamburg’s two delightful lakes. Lining the lake is the Jungfernstieg, the city’s most elegant promenade boasting top-of-the-line shops. From spring through fall, canal boats take visitors on a sleepy tour around the lake. Just above Binnenalster is the larger lake, Aussenalster. In the past, private gardens tumbled down from mansions lining the lake. But a 1953 law guaranteed public lake access for everyone, and walking and biking paths now parallel its shore, providing Hamburg - one of Germany’s greenest cities with a sprawling parkland.
Gentrified dockyards Cradling the city to the south is another body of water: the Elbe River, site of the city’s former docklands. With the advent of modern container ships that demanded more space than Hamburg’s industrial zone could accommodate, most business shifted to a larger port nearby - and all this prime real estate (just half a mile from City Hall) suddenly became available. Now this area like
The place where Old World charm meets modern Germany
the former docklands areas in London, Barcelona, and Oslo is being gentrified.The result: HafenCity, Europe’s biggest urban development project. The centerpiece of HafenCity is the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall, a towering and wildly beautiful piece of architecture that’s slated to be finished in 2015. When it opens, it will serve as a concert hall, hotel, apartment complex, and shopping mall. The northern part of HafenCity is occupied by Speicherstadt, the old warehouse district.The city preserved the area’s red-brick riverside warehouses as part of the urban landscape, and some of them now house museums and other attractions, including the International Maritime Museum and Miniatur Wunderland, featuring a sprawling model railway and miniature versions of the Alps, Scandinavia, and the United States. Downriver from HafenCity is the St.Pauli Landungsbrucken harborfront area,which locals call“the Balcony of Hamburg.” One of my favorite sightseeing experiences in Hamburg is to hop a harbor cruise and gape at the mighty port.The massive ships,container cranes, and dry and wet docks are breathtaking,and the entire experience is buoyed by fascinating narration. The most interesting place to cap off the day is the Reeperbahn. Home to many of Hamburg’s
Broadway-style musical theaters, this neighborhood is where the Beatles got their start (though the Beatlemania Museum closed recently). The Reeperbahn also contains the tawdry red-light sailors’ quarter. But thanks to a rising tide of affluence, the redlight district is shrinking, and these days, it’s confined to one small block, defined by metal modesty walls erected during Hitler’s rule. Back then, German society didn’t admit to having such districts, but an exception was made for the hardworking and heroic sailors on shore leave. After being surrounded by the seediness of the Reeperbahn, the nearby Shoulderblade district provides a wonderful breath of fresh cultural air.This trendy neighborhood hosts a squatterbuildingturned-artsvenue and a strip of fun eateries booming with hip
professionals.An edgy-yetcharming park has about the only reminder I saw of World War II in all of Hamburg - a bunker that has been painted and converted into a climbing wall. Districts like the Shoulderblade and HafenCity show off modern-day Hamburg at its finest. No longer content to be famous merely for its lusty sailors’ quarter and as the Beatles’ springboard to stardom, the new Hamburg expects to be seen as a cultural capital moving boldly into a promising future.
If you visit Sleeping: Hotel Wedina is a hip, informal, design-conscious place featuring rooms in four renovated townhouses on a quiet street near the train station (splurge, www.hotelwedina.de). Hotel-Pension Alpha is a cheaper choice in an older but wellkept building almost in sight of the station (moderate, www. alphahotel.biz). Eating: Kajute sits on pontoons on the Aussenalster and provides a great view of the sailboats and the setting sun across the lake (An der Alster 10a, tel. 040/243-037). Block Brau, a huge modern beer hall, features local cuisine, its own beer, and rooftop terrace seating with harbor views (Landungsbrucken 3, tel. 040/4440-5000). Getting around: Subways, buses, and public ferries make sightseeing efficient in this spread-out city. Tourist information: www. hamburg-tourism.de.

Let anxiety inspire effectiveness Q. There have been several business emergencies this year where I’ve frantically worked night and day to fix the problem and instead the problem got worse. On the other hand, for some unknown reason, there were other emergencies I calmly handled and the problem seemed to evaporate.Why isn’t hard work always equaling a solution? A. Hard work isn’t equaling a solution for you because getting stuck in fear prevents effective problem solving. We often run around like a chicken when we are scared, doing everything we can think of to achieve our goal.We don’t sit quietly, observe our situation and see the one thing we can do to get to the root of the problem. The workplace has become an increasingly frightening place to make money and thrive. This may be the year all of us will be challenged to address all the issues we find most difficult to tolerate. Some of us will break out, grow up and thrive;
others feel more like they are drowning. When the workplace was a kinder, simpler place, we could afford to walk around only using the 10 percent of our brains that scientists tell us most of us use. Sure, some days we felt like zombie monkeys working for the corporate Big Brother, but, hey, it was a paycheck. Nowadays, walking around on automatic is less of an option. We can experience this reality as a benevolent opportunity to mature and get powerful, or we can tell ourselves that we are victims of a mean universe. None of us get a deal from our workplace that we will finally arrive at the corporate ShangriLa where nothing bad ever happens.At some point, it occurs to most of us that we really have no control over everything that happens to us. Our only safety is if we have high-level skills to cope with what happens to us.
Fear is more contagious than the flu in the workplace. When we get frozen in anxiety, every action we take is tainted by the smell of desperation. The problem really isn’t the emotion of fear; it is whether we use the fear to motivate us to break out of our habitual box. Negative emotions really won’t hurt you. They are there to light a fire under you and move you to take risks to tolerate what you have avoided and try what you deem risky. If this year you notice that nothing you come up works when you are frozen in fear, perhaps you will be inspired to let your anxiety drive you to new places you’ve never been at work. As you develop more confidence in your ability to feel afraid and learn breakthrough tools, you may even welcome some of your workplace challenges. There is always a still, quiet center inside you, no matter what your workplace storm. It is your best ally during times like these, but you can’t find it if you’re frantic.
