Celebrating a milestone Niles dental office marks 50 years in community

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

According to the Small Business Administration, about two-thirds of businesses survive at least two years and about half survive at least five years.

But earlier this month, one Niles family business blew all those statistics away.

On Sept.20,the Bielinski/Bono Dental Practice, located at 8747 N Oketo in Niles, celebrated its 50th anniversary in the north suburban town.

In 1962, Dr. Raymond R. Bielinski moved his dental practice from Chicago to Niles.

But his background was as much about tickling the ivories as filling cavities Bielinski came from a family of six brothers, all of whom played musical instruments.

Throughout high school and college, he worked as a jazz pianist to put himself through school. He was part of the musicians union and so sometimes he would fill in playing piano for acts at venues like The Gaslight Club and Mr. Kelly’s in Chicago. Sometimes he would play gigs with his brothers, two of whom also were medical professionals and musicians.

“When my dad was in the Navy, he used to play clubs in San Diego. His nickname was Bones Bielinski because he was real skinny,” said Raymond’s daughter Peggy Bielinski, who now works as a dental hygienist at the practice her father started. “I saw his year

book and there was a picture of him playing piano in a club and they captioned it ‘Bones on the ivories.’”

After graduating in from Loyola University’s dental school 1944, he opened a practice on Wilson Ave. in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago, before choosing to leave the city for the tight-knight community of Niles. Yet even after the move Raymond and his brothers continued to perform in Chicago clubs because they loved the music so much.

“When my mother was dating him, before they were married, that was usually their date,” said Peggy. “She would sit and listen to him when he would go to play a gig.

Peggy began helping her father Raymond at the dental office when she was 13, assisting with filing and the front desk.

In 1984 Raymond’s son, Raymond“Chip”J.Bielinski,D.D.S. would join the practice. Then in 1986 Raymond’s daughter, Suzanne Bono D.D.S. also joined the practice, followed by Peggy.

“Dad was in and out of here until he was about 79, and by then Chip had been here a while,” said Peggy. She said that in that time she saw the children of her father’s original patients become patients themselves, and in turn bring their children in to get their teeth worked on.

According to Chip, when his father moved to Niles, developers were beginning to build houses, but much of the land remained rural. Raymond went up to a resident near the

area he wanted to build his practice on and inquired about a vacant lot near Dempster St.The man referred Raymond to Herb Schmeiser, owner of Schmeiser’s meats on Milwaukee Ave. At the time Schmeiser owned many of the lots in the Niles area and sold Raymond the remains of an onion farm near the corner Dempster and Oketo Ave. “My dad couldn’t afford the expensive Dempster lot so he bought this lot,” said Chip, referring to the practice’s location behind the Unimart One Stop Shop on 7315 West Dempster St.. “And Schmeiser kind of made the stipulation that Raymond would need to use his brother as the builder, who was in fact the man who referred my dad to Schmeiser in

the first place.”

Peggy described her family practice as a friendly office where patients were more than just a chart and sometimes bring in food in appreciation for services.The practice was also a place where many high school students got their first jobs in the community.

Chip, Bono and Peggy spoke of a long line of interesting patients, who have added to the history of the practice.

One story involved a singer who always chose to sing an operatic note after having his teeth checked.Another involved an older patient, a barber for the Drake Hotel in Chicago, who has groomed popes, kings and presidents.

Currently though, the practice

wants to make new patients aware of their location and history meeting the Niles area’s dental needs.

“We’re seeing a lot of seniors, although we want to expand that and meet some new faces and younger families,” said Bono.

“Being that we’re tucked away from the main street, we had a party to celebrate that we’ve been here for fifty years and a lot of the chamber people came by the for the party and said ‘Oh I never knew you were here.’”

As for the future of the practice, Chip’s daughter Anne Marie is currently applying to dental schools, and with any luck will be the first in the family’s third generation to work as a dentist. ahernandez@buglenewspapers.com

Mosque shooter’s day in Roofer’s torch sets fire to home court gets new delay in Park Ridge

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter

Use of a torch during roof repairs is being blamed for a house fire last week that spread through the attic and left workers stranded atop a Park Ridge home.

Park Ridge firefighters responded to the report of a fire Sept. 25 on the roof of a house in the 100 block of North Wisner St. There, fire fighters found roofers stranded and in immediate danger, requiring rescue by firefighters through the use of ground ladders. The lone occupant of the home had already evacuated the residence prior to the arrival of firefighters.

“Roofers were working to replace the roof and using a torch, this led to the roof catching fire,” said Lt. John Ortlund of the Park Ridge Fire Department, who investigated the blaze. “Pretty straight forward and simple.”

Park Ridge fire companies that arrived on the scene immediately began aggressively fighting the fire by stretching hose lines to the second floor and pulling ceiling on the second floor to expose the attic area.

Heavy fire was found

extending throughout the attic.

Additional Park Ridge fire units arrived on scene, along with units from the North Maine Fire Protection District and Niles Fire Departments among others, and they coordinated suppressing the heavy fire in the attic while opening ceiling areas on the second floor.

A greater portion of the ceiling and gutters was pulled to expose the entire area.

As the fire intensified, fire crews were removed from the interior due to fears of a roof collapse. Eventually, the fire was extinguished using a combination of a master stream device from the tower ladder in conjunction with fire hoses on the ground level.

The main body of fire was extinguished within forty minutes of arrival, although fire crews remained on the scene for over two hours conducting salvage and overhaul operations and extinguishing deep seated spot fires in the attic and walls.

There were no injuries to firefighters or civilians as a result of this fire and the pet dog of the homeowner was found unharmed on the first floor of the burning building and reunited with the owner. ahernandez@buglenewspapers.com

The man who allegedly fired an air rifle at a mosque and Muslim school has had his court date delayed once again.

According to Morton Grove officials, the court date for David Conrad, who allegedly fired an air rifle at the outer wall of the Muslim Education Center, located at 8601 N. Menard Ave. Morton Grove, during August’s Ramadan, has been moved to Oct. 23.

This is the third time that David Conrad’s court date has been moved at the Cook County Courthouse in Skokie.

The original court date was Aug 23.

Conrad, age 51, is being charged with three counts of Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm and one count of Criminal Damage to Property.

Morton Grove police said when Conrad was arrested police also seized a high-velocity air rifle outfitted with a scope in connection with the shooting.

The Muslim Education Center, which serves as both a mosque is also a fully accredited parochial elementary school, is across the street from Conrad’s residence.

No one was hurt and no one inside the center was near a window when the pellet-gun

shooting happened, police said.

Additionally, Conrad has changed his legal representation from Alfred “Al” Knorr of Northfield to Thomas M. Breen, a partner at Breen Pugh & Associates based out of Chicago.

Previously, Knorr had attested Conrad was not a racist nor anti-Muslim and that his client denied the crimes with which he’d been charged. Knorr has called his client a “pillar of the community” who volunteers as a youth soccer coach and has been involved with a number of civic programs.

Conrad and Breen did not return a request for a statement at press time.

What do women really want?

There is a group here in the United States that is utterly preoccupied by women’s reproductive rights as the fundamental political issue for women. Is this view of women accurate? It is as if women are simply two ovaries, a uterus and a sex organ. But real life women aren’t are they?

An August Gallup poll asked voters to name America’s most serious problem. The top two issues named: the economy (men – 32 percent, women 30 percent) and jobs (men - 22 percent, women 25 percent). Abortion issues barely registered at less than half a percent. Clearly women are just as concerned as men about the dismal jobs record of the past four years. Unemployment is still officially over 8 percent, but only because so many people have stopped looking for work. Underemployment is 17 percent with women bearing the brunt of part time work.The unemployment rate is higher for women than men and has

gotten worse for women over the last for years. Is free birth control more important than a job?

It gets even worse. Three out of four principal household shoppers are female. Efforts over the last four years to save the economy and to save the earth have simply made prices rise without saving the economy or the earth. Corn ethanol, attacks on American energy resources, biofuels and unlimited money printing have simply made food prices skyrocket without any real benefit to consumers.

Fuel prices continue to strangle the economy, helped by a foreign policy that makes our enemies richer and an energy policy that makes Americans poorer. Gasoline prices have doubled over the last four years. Consumers now have to

Relative to men women use more health care services. They also make most health care decisions for their families. Is Obamacare a plan they would have chosen? Right now you have yourself, your physician and your insurer to deal with.

That committee is part of

INSIDE: Maine South third, Niles West fifth at CSL boys golf meet, page 12; Ryder Cup leaves lasting memories, page 13

www.nilesbugle.com

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Coming into Sunday at the Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, the United States held what appeared to be a strong lead at 10-6 with 12 singles matches left.

That just so happened to be the same score the U.S. trailed by in 1999 when they made an improbable comeback to beat the Europeans.

The Europeans got one back.

Martin Kaymer sunk a sixfoot putt to clinch his match with Steve Stricker and give the Europeans at least a tie, which is good enough to win the cup.

They went on to win 14.5-13.5.

At one point in time Saturday the score was 10-4 U.S. “It’s a feeling that I’ve never had before,” Kaymer said. “Now I know how it really feels to win the Ryder Cup.” “I am disappointed that I let 11 other players down and the captains,” Stricker said.“I had to get some kind of points and I didn’t, so that’s disappointing.”

Europe won the first four matches Sunday to tie the total at 10-10 and the two sides from there went back-and-forth with Europe taking the lead on Sergio Garcia’s come-frombehind win.

“Amazing, what a day,” Garcia stated.“It was hard but we knew there was a chance. Obviously everything came right.”

“Any Ryder Cup loss is difficult,” U.S. captain Davis Love III said. “Today was not what we expected.We had guys who played well and just got beat. We’re all kind of stunned.

We know what it feels like now from the ’99 Ryder Cup. It’s a little bit shocking.”

Jim Furyk led Garcia by one going into the 17th hole, but Garcia was able to make a pair of pars to win both of the final two holes. It was another disappointing loss for See EUROPE, page 14

Hawks third at CSL

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter Maine South and Niles West’s boys golf teams geared up for regionals this week with strong performances at the CSL South tourney held last week at Sportsman Country Club in Northbrook.

ROUNDUP

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Maine South junior Joe DeFrenza shot a team-best 75 at the CSL South boys golf tournament Sept.

25. DeFrenza and the Hawks finished third out of six teams with a 309.

The Hawks, third with a 309 behind divisional champion New Trier (289) and second-place Evanston (298), were led by junior Joe DeFrenza, who carded his best round of the season—a 75, which included firing a 36 on the front nine.

“I hit a lot of fairways, hit a lot of greens, more than usual,” DeFrenza said. “I made a lot of key par putts. I missed a couple of long birdie putts, but everything was steady. I didn’t double (bogey) a hole so it was just a steady round.”

Three Maine South seniors also shot under 80 for the day: Rob Mazza (77), Jack Touhy (78) and Brandon Lung (79). Coach Steve Scholl is hoping for more

of the same when the Hawks visit Glenview Park Golf Club on Tuesday for the Glenbrook South regional.

“If we play like we did today and like we did at Chevy Chase and can put four guys close to 80, then I think we have a chance to advance out of the regional,” said Scholl, referring to his team finishing 12th out of 24 teams at the recent Wheeling Invite, held at Chevy Chase Golf Course.

“That would be the team goal and I hope that comes true.”

Meanwhile, coach Mitch Stern’s Wolves carded their best round of the year, finishing just a stroke behind fourth-place Glenbrook South with a 317.

Junior Nate Lee, a 2011 state qualifier, continued his stellar play, firing a team-best 74. He shot a 37 on both the front and back nine, and had four birdies on the day.

“I scored pretty well, but I didn’t hit my irons well so I’m disappointed with that,” Lee said.

“I definitely could have shot a lot better. I thought I was rolling the putts pretty well.”

Many things to be remembered from Ryder Cup The 2012 Ryder Cup will be remembered for many things.

There was the incredible p a s s i o n displayed by both teams and their fan bases, the marvelous shots that were made and the surreal comeback made by the Europeans.

I, for one, will remember all of those things for a long time.

It was unbelievable to be so close to the action and see the players get fired up more than ever before. Then there was the booing done by the gallery, which never occurs during a regular tournament. They were heckling Ian Poulter (who got the last laugh with a 4-0 record) by yelling for him to just hit the ball and booing him when he wouldn’t concede a putt.

But like other major sporting events I watch from home, I will remember how I felt when Europe made the comeback

that drove a stake through the Americans’ hearts.

After moving from the fifth hole to the 14th, I was still cautiously optimistic that the Americans would come out on top. But as the day moved on the nerves came up more and more.

I was expecting for Europe to make a comeback with its stacked lineup at the top, but I didn’t think it would score five of the first six points to tie it up.

I still liked who the Americans had coming up, but when Phil Mickelson lost his match after having a late lead, I was officially concerned. When Matt Kuchar got three down on Lee Westwood, it was a straight out panic.

I stayed all the way through the players on the 14th and when Martin Kaymer and Francesco Molinari beat Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods on the hole, I knew it would come down to Jim Furyk holding off Sergio Garcia on the 18th to preserve the America win. Walking back to Scott Taylor/Enterprise Staff

EUROPE Continued from page 11 Furyk this year, who had the U.S. Open and the Bridgestone Invitational in his grasp and let them both slip away.

“It’s been a very difficult year,” Furyk said. “If you had been on this team, I have 11 guys and captains who will pat me on the back and know how I feel.

We came here as a team and we wanted to win the Ryder Cup as a team and we didn’t. I’m pretty sure Sergio would tell

ROUNDUP Continued from page 12 “He never has a bad day,” Stern said, “and one of these days we’re going to get the greatest day of his career. It’ll happen.

The statistics show that he’s an even par or better golfer.”

The Wolves, who also got 81s from senior Brandon Moy, freshman Skylar Levine and junior Andy Garcia, return to Sportsman Tuesday for a regional hosted by Loyola Academy. It’ll be the third time Niles West has played the course this season— an intangible that could work to the Wolves’ advantage.

“The third time will be the charm hopefully,” Stern said.

“I think most of them feel very

you I outplayed him today. As far as team vs. individual, this is the lowest point of my year.”

Phil Mickelson lost a match earlier in the day with the same lead as Furyk, but in his case it took two clutch birdies from Justin Rose to beat him.

“When Phil made that putt on 16, I thought he did something great for the Ryder Cup,” Love said. “He didn’t lose, he got beat.”

“We are in shock,” Rose said. “We wanted to believe, we really did, but we had no illusions of how hard that day was going to be, four shots

confident on this course, and feel like they can shoot a good number. That’s half the battle right there with a high school kid.”

Maine South finished in 14th place at Saturday’s New Trier Invite. Mazza and Joey Mirabelli both shot 81s.

Niles West also was at the New Trier Invite, and ended up right behind the Hawks in 15th. Lee shot a 77 and Moy an 84.

Maine East (467) finished sixth at the CSL North meet held on Sept. 24. Matthew Doetsch had a 97 for the Demons.

•Notre Dame carded a 347, good for fifth place at the ESCC golf tourney Sept. 27. Janos Von Aulock fired a 79 for the Dons. David Steinle and John Draths tallied an 87 and 88, respectively.

The hero for the Europeans though was Ian Poulter, who went 4-0 for the tournament.

“This was a team performance,” he said. “What the team has done was an unbelievable job today. We just felt we had that tiny little chance, and the boys proved that today and made history.”

Dustin Johnson, Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner were the only U.S. singles winners on the day.

“On the 10th hole (Saturday morning) I went up to Davis and told him he was seeing our best and you can’t put us in in the afternoon,” Mickelson stated. “We emotionally and mentally aren’t prepared for it.”We had other guys dying to go out there. You can’t put down him. If anything, it was me because I said that to him.”

I would also stick up for Love in this situation and in general for the lineup that he put out there. The one thing I disagreed with was having Stricker play at all Saturday, and even in the afternoon Friday. He was clearly off his game and even though that seems to be the only guy Tiger Woods plays with in these events, putting in Brandt Snedeker at least Saturday afternoon would have been a better option. In fact, the Europeans sat both Martin Kaymer and Peter Hanson Saturday and played Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy all four doubles matches and it appeared to pay off.

I also didn’t like Stricker or Jim Furyk as captains picks to begin with. With all the young talent out there, fresh, exciting players with little Ryder Cup experience is better than aging players with mostly negative experiences.

Stricker went 0-4 for the week, so I might as well have been a captains pick because I couldn’t have done any worse.

U.S. resurgence?

Speaking of a youth movement, the future does look bright for the Americans.

The 2000s was generally a struggle for U.S. golf. Even the winning Ryder Cup team in 2008 had an interesting range of players.

This year’s team had a good balance of youth and veterans.

And, everyone has proven itself on the PGA Tour over the years and the only possible one year wonder is Jason Dufner, who, based on his Ryder Cup performance, appears to be here to stay.

Holmes (2 Tour wins),Vaughn Taylor (2 Tour wins), J.J. Henry (2 Tour wins), Brett Wetterich (2 Tour wins) and Chris Riley (1 Tour win). Several other players struck little fear in Europe.

There was even a time where Tiger Woods and Jonathan Byrd were the only Americans in their 20s with multiple Tour wins.

Now, there are several in their 20s with multiple wins. Dustin Johnson, Simpson and Bradley are the future of U.S. golf, along with Mahan and Fowler.

That’s not to say that the U.S. will dominate the Ryder Cup now as there are plenty of talented members of Europe still, as was evident Sunday. However, expect the U.S. to be much more competitive in the foreseeable future. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Alviti’s big first half propells Hawks

By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter

The showdown between the CSL South’s two 5-0 football teams, Maine South and upstart Niles West, didn’t last long Friday night.

Matt Alviti and the Hawks saw to that.

Alviti needed only one half of work to accumulate 208 yards through the air, pass for two touchdowns and run for two more as the Hawks took a commanding 44-7 first-half lead en route to a 51-14 homecoming rout of the Wolves.

Wolves head coach Scott Baum has seen Alviti, a Northwestern recruit, work his magic for three years, and marveled at the senior’s effort Friday.

“It’s like you’re playing in Canada (Canadian football) when you play against this kid,” Baum said. “The field seems so big. I like (Northwestern coach) Pat Fitzgerald a lot and I think he’s getting a helluva player. He’s a competitor; he kind of willed them to go today.”

Alviti got Maine South rolling with a 2-yard TD run on the Hawks’ first offensive series.

The Hawks (6-0, 2-0) picked up two more points when a Niles West snap on a punt sailed into the end zone for a safety.

Maine South reached the end zone again following the safety.

Anthony Mitchell scooted up the middle for a 27-yard score to give the Hawks a 16-0 lead.

Then, defensive back Alberto Rossi picked off a pass and ran it back to the Niles West 10-yard line with 2:48 left in the first quarter.

That set up Alviti’s 6-yard

scoring pass to Daly Guzaldo.

“We were really fired up,”Alviti said.“We prepared well all week.

We knew that with a 5-0 team we couldn’t joke around, so we focused all week and prepared.”

Niles West went three-and-out on its ensuing offensive series, and a short punt put Maine South in business at the Wolves’ 27-yard line.

Mitchell’s second TD run of the quarter, this a 5-yarder, opened up a 30-0 advantage.

In the second quarter, the Wolves (5-1, 1-1) marched down to the Hawks’23-yard line on Mike McGivern-to-Jeremiah Jordan pass that covered 13 yards.

But John Cerniglia cut the Wolves’ drive short by intercepting a pass at the 3-yard line.

Seven plays later, Alviti, while scrambling near mid-field, found Frank Perrone in the end zone and threw a 44-yard bomb to the wideout with 5:18 remaining before halftime.

“It was a broken play and you’ve always got to be ready with Matt,” said Perrone, who caught four passes for 95 yards. “I saw that I could get open. I pointed to Matt and showed him where to throw it and he’s going to put it on the money every time.”

The Wolves got on the board late in the first half after McGivern, who shared quarterback duties with Tommy Galanopoulos, flipped a 2-yard TD pass to Galanopoulos. But the Hawks responded on Alviti’s 4-yard run with 21 seconds left.

Galanopoulos hit Jordan (six catches, 67 yards) for an 11-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

The Hawks’ final TD of the night also occurred in the third

when Trent Orr blocked a punt.

Anthony Perrone picked up the loose ball at the Niles West 31 and ran it in.

The Hawks, who have seven

starters injured, are expecting defensive end Mike Klein and tight end John Solari to return to the lineup for their game at Evanston next week.

“Guys have been stepping up and filling roles and we’ll be that much stronger for it,” said Maine South head coach Dave Inserra. mike@buglenewspapers.com

Finding great art in Europe’s smaller museums

By Rick Steves Tribune Media Services

For many travelers, a visit to one of the great treasurechest museums - Paris’ Louvre, London’s British Museum,Rome’s Vatican - is the highlight of a European trip. But sometimes a march through endless galleries dense with other tourists can be a mood killer, as you battle the throngs to scratch yet another biggie off your to-do list.

At the start of a trip, I’ll seek out every great painting and cathedral I can.After two months, I find myself “seeing” cathedrals with a sweep of my head from the doorway, and I probably wouldn’t cross the street for another Rembrandt. I’m not saying that you should skip the Mona Lisa; but Europe’s great museums can be hard work, and I am rarely good for more than two or three hours at a time.

Luckily,not all art masterpieces are kept in the powerhouse museums. Europe is filled with many fine little museums that amply reward those who venture beyond the monumental sights. Smaller places have their own superstar attractions, and because their collections are rarely encyclopedic, you can see everything in one visit and still feel fresh.

Take, for example, Paris’ Marmottan and Orangerie museums. Fans of Monet and Impressionism gravitate toward the Orsay Museum, with its impressive collection - and inevitable crowds. But savvy sightseers know they can get their Monet fix - with less

competition - elsewhere. Monet himself designed the setting for his great Water Lily paintings at Paris’ Orangerie, where French royalty once grew orange trees for its palaces.

Perched on the edge of Paris and fronted by a lovely park, the Marmottan owns one of the best collections anywhere of works

by Monet, including the painting that gave Impressionism its name (Impression: Sunrise).After a pleasant stroll through the galleries, you’ll still have enough energy to enjoy the museum’s park and to wander along nearby Rue de Passy, one of Paris’ most pleasant and upscale shopping streets.

Europe’s cultural wonders often hide out in fascinating buildings that were never meant to be museums. For instance, one of Michelangelo’s Pietas lives in Milan’s Sforza Castle, itself a Renaissance palace where Leonardo da Vinci was the inhouse genius to the mighty Sforza dukes. The exquisite and famous Lady and the Unicorn tapestries are among the medieval treasures in Paris’ gem-like Cluny Museum, once the mansion of an important church leader.

London’s Wallace Collection features fine 17th-century Dutch Masters and 18thcentury French Rococo pieces inside a sumptuously furnished townhouse. From the rough and intimate Dutch lifescapes of Jan Steen to the pink-cheeked Rococo fantasies of Francois Boucher, a wander through this little-visited mansion makes you nostalgic for the days of the empire (and it’s free). I love

these cultural “two-fers” - great art surrounded and deepened by authentic bits of history.

My favorite small-scale museum is Rome’s Borghese Gallery, featuring world-class sculptures by the Baroque virtuoso Bernini and dazzling paintings by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, and Rubens, all displayed within a 17th-century building that gets my vote for the best interior of

any palace in Europe.And best of all, there’s no chance that you’ll be overcome by museum fatigue.

Visits are strictly limited to two hours. (Admission requires a reservation - easy to get by telephone or online).

The wealthy Cardinal Scipione Borghese richly decorated every inch of the place in the overthe-top Baroque style, then filled it with classical, Renaissance,

and Baroque masterworks. In the cardinal’s age, the rich and powerful employed renowned artists to spiff up their homes.

As the pope’s nephew, the cardinal was well-connected and could easily afford the tab. This is a place where - regardless of whether you learn a thing - you can sit back and enjoy the sheer beauty of the palace and its art.

But the Borghese is more than just a wonderful museum. The beautiful villa is set in the lushly green Borghese Gardens, Rome’s version of Central Park. The sprawling open space is perfect for relaxing, unwinding, and letting the kids run wild. After you’ve finished your circuit of the museum, saunter out through the park to the viewpoint over the Piazza del Popolo for prime people-watching, or rent a bike for a spin around the leafy gardens. Even the trip to the museum is fun, especially if you ride the little “elettrico” bus, which winds silently through the narrow lanes of Rome’s medieval core up to the park.

As I’ve discovered over a lifetime of visits, it pays to sightsee smartly and selectively.

Europe’s many wonderful little museums may be less visited than the biggies, but they are no less rewarding.

Business & Real Estate

Want a promotion? Make mistakes Q. I have a job where the same thing never happens twice. I end up making a lot of mistakes. My boss says mistakes are just part of the learning curve, but I get so upset I shake when I realize I messed up. How can I develop more self-confidence?

A. You will develop more selfconfidence by learning how to make mistakes with enthusiasm and grace. Your boss has been trying to tell you that, in any industry, you have to make mistakes to know anything worth paying you for.

The difference between people who get promoted and people that stay at the bottom of the workplace food chain is that the people who get promoted take risks, make mistakes gracefully, and get really good at their jobs. People who don’t get promoted make mistakes, freak out, and can’t think clearly enough to find solutions.

The people who are most likely to be thrown off the horse by mistakes are bright, competent workers who are perfectionists.

Ironically, employees who don’t care as much also don’t get as

upset - and tend to be able to think about how to fix a problem.

Notice what you tell yourself the next time you make a mistake. You may find you talk more critically and rudely to yourself than you would talk to anyone else. We often don’t notice these silent dialogues going on inside our head, but they do make us feel awful.

If you find you’re ranting internally about what an idiot you are, no wonder you lose the ability to solve problems. Notice that the real problem isn’t that you made a mistake.

It’s that you treat yourself so badly that you’ve lost your ability to fix anything.

Consider how you’d talk to friends you love dearly when they make a mistake. Now next time you screw up, attempt to take a deep breath, and then give yourself the same pep talk.

Give yourself the room to know that it’s normal to be

embarrassed when you make a mistake.If you are a perfectionist, be comforted in knowing that no one in the room is being as hard on you as you are being right now on yourself. People who end up with brilliant careers make as many mistakes as anyone else.

One of the favorite themes in movies and books is the underdog who goes on to succeed. When you make a mistake at work, you are the underdog. If you keep your wits about you, what you do next may just make you the top dog at work.

Picking the right trustee Dear Dave, I’m going through a divorce, and I’m about to buy a $600,000 life insurance policy. My 9-yearold daughter would be the beneficiary. I need a trustee, but how do I pick a good one?

Marie Dear Marie, First, your daughter wouldn’t be the beneficiary. You would leave it in a trust for her benefit.

And I’m not sure I’d depend on an ex-husband to handle something that requires this much integrity. You’d be better off hiring a good attorney to execute the trust upon your death, or you can look for a bank that has a trust department.

Once you decide on a trustee, you must remember to clearly and specifically state what you want done with the money.

Don’t say to invest the money appropriately, because what a banker views as an appropriate investment and what I view as an appropriate invest are usually very different. A banker might put the money in CDs, or certificates of deposit, while I’d probably look at something like mutual funds, which have a much better rate of return.

In many cases, a trust for a child is put in place to pay for their first car, a medical situation or their college education, but this is completely up to you.The balance of the money might go to them when they reach age 21, while they receive a monthly stipend for food and other

essentials while they’re younger.

I’m proud of you for thinking ahead, Marie. I know divorce is hard, but your little girl is lucky to have such a good and caring mom on her side!

—Dave

Dave’s thoughts about online banks Dear Dave, How do you feel about using an online bank for your emergency fund?

Jared Dear Jared, I don’t think that’s a problem at all in most situations. Just make sure you do a little research. Know who you’re dealing with and that they’ve got some strength.A bank that is known as a “click and mortar”— one that has a physical location as well as online—would be my preference. Some of them have great debit card programs that includes debit card rewards and high-interest checking accounts, too.

When it comes to an emergency fund, I like the idea of keeping it in a separate money market account. That way you get money market rates, plus you can attach check writing privileges to the account. Then when an emergency comes along, you don’t have to worry about shuffling money around.

You can just write a check out of the account. Problem solved!

Back to school: Financial education (Part Two)

By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

A recent report from the Securities Exchange Commission

and the Library of Congress found that “low levels of investor literacy have serious implications for the ability of broad segments of the population to retire

comfortably, particularly in an age dominated by definedcontribution retirement plans.”

To help in the effort to educate investors, last week I covered the

core concepts of diversification and mutual fund fees. This week, it’s time to add more building blocks, including key differences between stocks and bonds.

When you purchase stock (“shares”or“equity”),it represents ownership of a publicly traded company. As a common stockholder, you get a piece of what the company owns (assets) and what it owes (liabilities).

You are also entitled to voting rights and dividends, which are a portion of the company’s profits that it distributes to its shareholders. Stock prices move based on supply and demand: If more people think the company will deliver future financial results, they will buy it, and the stock will rise.

Bonds work differently than stocks.When you buy a bond, you are actually lending money to an entity - the U.S. government, a state, a municipality or a company - for a set period of time - from 30 days to 30 years - at a fixed rate of interest (the term “fixed income” is often used to describe the asset class of bonds). At the end of the term, the borrower repays the obligation in full.

Bond prices fluctuate based on the general direction of interest rates. Here’s how it works: If you own a 10-year U.S. government bond that is paying 5 percent, it will be worth more now, when new bonds issued by Uncle Sam are only paying 1.6 percent. Conversely, if your bond is paying 1.6 percent, and your friend can purchase a new bond paying 5 percent, nobody will be interested in your bond and the price will fall. That’s why bond prices move in the opposite direction of prevailing rates, regardless of the bond type. So, if you hear that interest rates are on the rise, you can count on your individual bond or bond mutual fund dropping in value.

Although often hailed as “safe,” bond investors face a number of risks, in addition to the interest rate risk described above. One is credit risk, which is the risk of default or that the entity does not pay you back. That is a pretty low risk if the entity is the U.S. government, but it can be a high one if it’s a company or town that is in trouble. Another risk is

inflation. Even if the bonds are paid in full, the promised rate of interest can turn out to be worth less over time due to inflation, which eats into the fixed stream of payments.

Many investors prefer owning a bond mutual fund versus an individual bond because funds offer broad diversification at a low cost, and they offer the convenience of being able to buy or sell shares at any time and in any quantity. Additionally, there is no easy way to reinvest interest payments into individual bonds. However, individual bonds offer the certainty of a defined maturity date, which provides an investor with more control over the investment.

Because bonds deliver a consistent stream of income, many investors view them as the perfect retirement vehicle.

But as mentioned above, bond prices can fluctuate. The worst calendar year for the broad bond market was 1994, when the broad bond market returned -2.9 percent due to an unexpected upward shift in interest rates (prices dropped more, but the interest from bonds helped defray some of those losses). Just this summer, the 10-year Treasury market saw big price drops. In the three weeks from the July 25 peak to Aug. 16, prices tumbled about 8.5 percent, and yields went to 1.82 percent from an all-time low of 1.38 percent. So, yes, you can lose money in the bond market, though the magnitude of the fluctuations tends to be smaller than those in stocks and other riskier asset classes.

Bonds are an important asset class that can have a stabilizing effect on a diversified portfolio over time. Understanding how they work can prepare you for their eventual ups and downs.
