“I think we will still have to do a small RIF…Most of the teachers will get their jobs back and they should know it. And if they don’t know it, they should know it now.” Steve Quigley, school board president

he plan to potentially lay off more than 400 teachers was shot down by the Valley View School District School Board last week, expecting the administration to come back with far fewer reductions as originally intended. The sometimes slippery slope of contractual obligations such as the Reduction in Force process paints a picture far worse than intended, explained School Board President Steve Quigley. At the past board meeting, held March 26, the administration called for the honorable dismissal of first-, second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-year teachers

for reduction-in-force reasons. The RIF process, or layoff process, is a common but complicated occurrence in school districts. The passage of Senate Bill 7 in June 2011 made the process even more cumbersome, said Quigley. In an analysis done by Attorneys and Counselors Franczek and Radelet, teacher layoffs must now be based primarily on performance ratings rather than seniority. The legislation extends honorable dismissal, reduction in force, and recall rights to probationary teachers, and introduces a new procedure for carrying out reductions in force and recall decisions effective for See RIF, page 10

Truth or DARE?

As traditional drug education struggles with funding and effectiveness, alternatives are being sought to stem the rise in addiction By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Heroin use is on the rise in the suburbs, particularly among young people. As access to the dangerously addictive drug continues to abound, educators and parents are beginning to question how much teens really know about drug use. Drug education typically begins in the younger grades, around fifth or sixth, hopefully when children are old enough to become aware of what drugs are, but before they are directly faced with the choice of using them. Historically, the drug education program of choice has been DARE, or Drug Abuse Resistance Education. It’s a program designed to give kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence. Once implemented in 75 percent of our nation’s school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world, DARE is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives. However, funding cuts have reduced the number of schools and communities offering the DARE program, and even where offered, some research is suggesting the message isn’t reaching the kids at the highest risk. In 1998 the DARE program failed to meet federal guidelines that they be both research-based and effective. To date they have not met those guidelines, thereby disqualifying the organization from receiving further federal grant money and making it harder for schools and towns to administer the program. Still the need for drug education persists, apparent in the rise of heroin arrests and overdoses in our communities. Will County officials report there were 30 heroin overdoses last year across 14 towns. DuPage reported 59 seizures and undercover purchases in 2011. Naperville alone had 47 heroin arrests last

year. With many believing that marijuana, Ecstasy, and other drugs are a gateway to heroin use, the need for education is greater than ever. According to Kathleen Burke, president of the Robert Crown Center for Health Education, one problem is the message kids receive about the consequences of drug use. “The war on drugs is often looked at from a legal standpoint,” she said. “Kids are introduced to the legal consequences, and they were taught what they drugs looked like, what they do to your heart rate—but when they looked around, they found those consequences weren’t happening to the people around them who were using the drug. It seemed irrelevant.” With all the information available on the Internet, young people are getting mixed messages about drugs, as the tolerance level for marijuana use has shifted, as has prescription drug use. The Robert Crown Center for Health Education in partnership with the Reed Hruby Foundation and the Illinois Consortium on Drug Policy at Roosevelt University is developing one of the world’s first heroin education and prevention programs. The goal of the program is to stop the growing trend of heroin abuse across America. Today,Robert Crown is teaching kids exactly what happens to the body, what addiction really is, and how to negotiate social acceptance among their peers. “Kids need to understand addiction, to know exactly what happens to their brain when the drug is taken,” she said.“They can understand that. Let’s teach them that addiction is both emotional and physical, that it’s more likely if there already is addiction in the family. These are things no one wants to talk about.” But, she said, it’s necessary if the message is going to get through. “DARE hasn’t proven effective, and I know they are re-vamping it, she said. “But kids are

skeptical. They don’t like to be lied to and that don’t like when we exaggerate. We are using too many messages that aren’t authentic.” A study of suburban young people using heroin, completed last year at the center, found that more than one third of the research sample began using heroin while they were in high school and were from all socioeconomic groups. It also showed a substantial lack of knowledge among users about the relationship between prescription pain pill abuse and heroin use. “The study shows a need for comprehensive drug education, which starts young and continues into high school,” Burke said.“But it’s not the same conversation, it builds. You have to address the changes they go through every year if you are going to really meet their needs for information. We have to help them learn more and know more.” Burke said the key points are still transitional times, such as the move from elementary to middle school, or from middle school to high school. These are the times when schedules are changing, routines are changing, friendships and interests are shifting, she said. In Plainfield Community Consolidated District 202, which serves more than 30,000 students across Will County, attitudes about drug education are beginning to change as well. One high school social worker, who asked to remain anonymous, said the school is beginning to “break the silence” when talking about drugs with teens. “In the past, we didn’t want to overeducate out student,” she said. “But when we are talking about heroin, we are talking about kids dying. It’s so dangerous, so available, so cheap, that we have to be more specific about the risks.” Additionally, the social worker attest, schools need to address student drug use with support programs rather than the common approach of removing

the child from the school environment entirely. Within District 202, kids who are using drugs or who are found in possession of drugs at school may be placed in the Catalyst program, which combines a consistent school environment with added counseling and group dynamics to address their addictions. “We have to address their belief system, address why they are tempted in the first place,” she said. Challenge them in small groups while keeping them in the school context. Schools are not the problem.The schools are the solution.” Parents are part of that solution as well, she added. And while there’s a natural tendency for teens to separate from parental

control, she said it is imperative that they stay involved. “We still need them to be our partners in this,” she said. One creative technique Burke would like to see utilized is to talk about drug use in forums outside health class. It’s more effective if it’s spread around, she said, and kids won’t be as likely to tune out. “Let’s discuss it in other areas of the curriculum—we can talk about addiction in science class. We can discuss the drug trade in social studies. Let’s get our coaches warning kids about pushing past their limits. It stops presenting drugs as a kids’ problem, and starts putting it where it belongs, as a societal See DARE, page 3

DARE Continued from page 3 problem.” That, in a nutshell is the approach Burke and her colleagues are trying to translate into DuPage and

Will County schools. Already the Robert Crown Center is working on curriculum-based education at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, and is beginning to work with the Will County Superintendent’s office on programming for schools in this area. “It’s all about

communication,” said Burke. “You have to talk to the kids and offer real information about what the drugs do. But let’s keep it going by being available to hear those things you might not want to hear. That’s our strategy.” sdauskurdas@buglenewspapers.com

RC Hill School exterior part of TIF improvements By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

R.C. Hill Elementary School will begin to see its exterior get a face lift thanks to shared funds from the village. In November of 2010, the Valley View School District lent its support to the village of Romeoville to extend the Marquette Tax Increment Finance District expiration date from 2012 to 2024 because of the weak economy. The idea behind the TIF district is to incorporate improvements to the area to stabilize property values. The extension request required and received the necessary legislative approval. According to information from

assistant superintendent Gary Grizaffi, at that time the village had proposed shared benefits of the TIF extension which included $1 million in building and site improvements to R.C. Hill Elementary School. According to a plan submitted to the village, the proposal calls for reworking the parking lots and playground area. The plan shows that the current paved area northwest of the school would be converted into a playground. The existing playground and parking lot to the south of the building would all be made into parking space. One of the main reasons to focus on the parking is to improve the flow of the site as well as improve safety for students and

parents. “Anyone driving through there knows how congested the area can be. This will help alleviate

that problem,” said Mayor John Noak. “This is nice to see. We recently saw the use of TIF funds help with the renovation of the

ComEd teaming up with municipalities on improvements By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

After last year’s stormy summer, which left power outages across the area, CommonWealth Edison is looking to improve its service and is seeking the help of local municipalities. The village of Romeoville recently passed a resolution in support of improving municipal

coordination of emergency preparedness and response management with ComEd. According to Village Manager Steve Gulden,ComEd has worked closely and collaboratively with a team of management professionals to develop operating protocol that will better address coordination and communications issues. They are also looking to implement

specific improvements to their emergency preparedness and response management. “It would be an advantage to the residents of Romeoville, and we support the idea,” Gulden said. ComEd is also entertaining the possibility of setting up a command center to be used whenever a severe storm is expected to hit. Gulden said

residents would benefit from having ComEd teams in their own backyard at the ready to restore service. The village would offer the Romeoville Emergency Management Agency center to be used as a joint operations center for ComEd officials, village personnel, and police officers and fire fighters to work together in severe storm

situations. “We would be able to bring in our fire and police chiefs and have them sit in on the meetings,” Gulden said. “This would allow for communication in real time, making service to the village a priority. Having the center here would have ComEd covering our concerns.” sdauskurdas@buglenewspapers.com

Being responsible in cyberspace The Internet is a “great educational tool and lots of fun, but make sure you’re using it responsibly.” That’s what Romeoville Police Officer Aaron Thompson told three groups of 4th and 5th graders at Irene King Elementary School Wednesday. “There are a lot of bad people out there who use the Internet,” he said. “Just because it’s on the Internet does not mean it’s safe.” Officer Thompson urged students to be very careful about using the Internet, especially Facebook. “Those of you who have a lot of friends… do you know every single one of your friends personally?” he asked. “If you don’t really know them, you don’t know what they’re capable of.” He also discussed the rapid growth of cyber bullying via e-mail, texting and a variety of other technology-based devices. “A lot of kids think it doesn’t count if you pick on someone by text or e-mail,” Officer Thompson

said. “But the consequences are the same. You can get in just as much trouble.” He told students they should never respond to a cyber bully emphasizing how important it is to tell their parents or a teacher about the bullying attempt. “Don’t take matters into your

own hands,” he said. “I know it’s tough to tell someone but bullies operate because they think you won’t tell anyone. “Listen to your teacher. Listen to your parents when it comes to these kinds of things,” he added. “They know what’s best for you.”

Changes abound for baseball program By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

There are a lot of changes this year for Romeoville. Gone are a large group of seniors from last year and head coach Tony Smith. In is new coach Dave Haskins.

BASEBALL Haskins was a head coach at St. Charles East for two years and at Prairie Ridge for two years. “We’re young,” Haskins said. “We’re working on changing the mindset and hitting philosophy a little bit. Timely hitting and defense is what we’re working on. We have a little different strategy than we did in the past.There’s a lot of energy and enthusiasm. “We have to build up the program. We have to teach them accountability and know the expectations of what it takes to play at a state championship level. We’re focusing on doing the right things on and off the field. We have to change the expectations. I’m excited to see the improvement of the program.” Leading the change will be seniors Jim Rooks (pitcher), Matt Venn (catcher) and Vidal Gonzalez (infield). “With the new coach and being a senior, I can already tell the difference between this year and last year,” Rooks said. “The progress of working in the sophomores and juniors has been big. After I leave these juniors are going to know what to do. I know we have the commitment to do good things and see what happens.” Brian Hurley, Michael Torres and Brandon Lisak are among the up and comers from the lower levels. “We’re extremely young,” Haskins said. “We opened the

season starting one sophomore and five juniors. They are going to learn and work really hard with the commitment.” Rooks will be the No. 1 man on the mound after a strong 2011 season with an ERA below three. Thomas Goodyear and Matt Esquivel are also expected to contribute on the mound. “I want to follow up after last season,” Rooks said. “I don’t want to have that great junior season and tank my senior year. I’m really looking to come out strong. I want to be on the top of my game and set an example for the kids at Romeoville.” Rooks has put in the work in the offseason to make sure he continues his improvement from the 2011 season. “I pretty much worked on my consistency on my off speed pitch with my curveball,” Rooks said. “I’m looking for more velocity with my fastball. Last year I was hitting 89, maybe. This year I’m trying to get over 90.” The philosophical changes for the Spartans revolve more around a small ball approach. “We have to hit the ball the other way, it’s a big thing we’re believing in,” Haskins said. “We can’t just go up there and think about getting a hit. The most important thing is moving the runner along or bringing him in. I believe in our pitching and our defense. We’re taking a lot of pride in that. We’re focusing on defense, pitching and timely hitting.” Romeoville opened the season with a 4-2 loss to Lincoln-Way Central on a pair of hits from Mitch Zack and Torres and RBI from Venn and Lisak. Rooks struck out nine and had a four hitter in a 3-1 win over Streamwood as Venn hit two homers. Scott Taylor/Bugle staff

Spikers look for more success By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

Last year Romeoville nearly put itself on the map, taking Plainfield North to three games in a regional semifinal. This year the Spartans are back for more.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL “Our seniors are hungry,” Romeoville coach Deb Fehrenbacher said. “Tying for third in the conference last year wasn’t good enough for them. We want better than that’s their goal. We will go from there. With having a JV program, I’m able to pull up seniors and we have nine seniors possibly and everyone has experience. It’s going to be an interesting ride.” “I think we can keep it going,” Romeoville senior Spencer Moser said. “There are eight seniors on the team and we are ready to stand strong. All the schools we can think of lost their top players. We’re ready to show everyone who Romeoville is.” Scott Taylor/Bugle staff

High hopes for veteran Spartans By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

This is the season Romeoville has built up for. With several three year starters in the lineup, 2012 looks promising for the Spartans.

SOFTBALL “We have to get the job done,” Romeoville senior catcher Hattie Holland said. “We have a lot of stuff to pick up from last year. Our goal is to get our job done to make our last year memorable.” “We have higher expectations, but the thing we want is to compete in every game,” Romeoville coach Christina Douglas said. “Hopefully the outcome is a win. I think our pitching is going to be decent and we have an aggressive offense this year to get some of those conference wins we need. I think if we come in and think

that we can compete, we will have a better chance to.” Last year started off memorable with an 8-1 record to open the season, but the team struggled the second half of the season. “We have to keep out competition level up,” Romeoville senior Michelle Spillman said. “We can’t look back, we just have to keep moving forward.” “We’re going to keep our hot streak going the whole season, not just the start of the season,” Holland added. “We have the skills, we just need the confidence. Keeping our heads up is one thing we’re going to be a lot better at this year.” The Spartans feel they let some games get away in the conference season last year and hope they can turn that around this year and finish with a winning record in the strong Southwest Prairie Conference.

“We want to have a winning record,” Spillman said.“We don’t want to lose to some of the teams we lost to last year that we shouldn’t have.” “Nothing is easy in our conference,”Douglas said.“We’re trying to get a couple more wins than we had last year. We’re hoping that our experience can take them farther than in the past. I think this is a special group and there is no drama.” This year’s team has a strong offense, led by the likes of

sPorts Holland, Spillman, Abby Smith, Melissa Guzior and Cece and Briana Floyd. “We lost five girls I think, but our team is very close,” Holland said. “We help each other out and there is no drama. We’re really close so we know how to pick each other up and keep us going.” “We should have a good hitting lineup,” Spillman said. “We do have some power hitters in our lineup. Our defense so far is looking pretty solid. It hurts to lose Jamie (Shawmeker) because she was our No. 1 home run hitter, but I think we’re going to have more people fill in.” “Jamie is going to be a big

loss,” Douglas said. “But we are returning our MVP, Abby Smith, who hit .541 last year. I look for some of these seniors to step it up offensively.” It is also nice to have the same battery for the third straight year as Holland will be catching for fellow seniors Guzior and Elaina Caron. “It’s a good dynamic,” Guzior said. “We all go together really well. We’re friends and we’re teammates, so it works. We need to stay strong and step up every game.” Romeoville opened the season with a 10-0 win over

Thornwood. Guzior pitched a gem, allowing one hit while striking out 11. Abby Smith and Taylor Chazinski led the ay offensively. Guzior added another shutout in a 3-0 win over Bloom. Caron was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs, while Holland and Raven Lemon each had a double. Romeoville (3-1) defeated Mt. Assisi 11-1 as Caron picked up the win on the mound. Smith was 4-for-4 at the plate, while Holland had a double and two RBI and Ceara Floyd had a pair of doubles and three RBI. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Sports SPIKERS Continued from page 14 That loss to North, as well as finishing in a tie for third place in the Southwest Prairie Conference (North won) has fueled the Spartans this year. “Our three-set loss last year was horrible,” Moser stated. “We need this to no end. We showed everyone last year that we can do it. We want to keep everything going and settle for third place. We want to beat Plainfield North and Neuqua Valley and go somewhere.” To win the conference title

this year, Romeoville has to get by the Tigers and Minooka, as well as not take the other teams lightly. “Minooka is always tough, so last year when we beat them at their home, that was huge,” Fehrenbacher said. “They had finished third (in state) the year before. Plainfield North is always tough.We just can’t take anybody lightly.” “No matter what you have to be there,” Moser said.“Your head has to be there and nowhere else. That’s where we come along.We don’t want to settle for third. We want to be No. 1.” “Last year we got third in conference,” Romeoville senior

Jacob Richard said. “The seniors this year are hungry. We’re not going to settle for third or even second. We want to win. Every night we have to bring it all, practice and games.” This year’s team will look different from last year though as the Spartans will be without four year players Nick Oderio and Wayne Fitts. “It is very weird walking into tryouts and not seeing Nick or Wayne on the floor,” Romeoville coach Deb Fehrenbacher said. “They played for me for four years. We’re still trying to figure out who is going to step up, but so far I’ve had some kids step up and be leaders. Spencer Moser

is a four-year varsity player and helps out the younger levels and is a leader on the floor. Jacob Richard was on varsity last year as well and has taken the leadership role. I’ve got four returning seniors and the other two are Jon Jelic and Josh Lewis.” “Yea we’re not 6-7 and still growing like Nick the stick, but we all have our own thing,” Moser said.“We all have our own little perfections. Our setters this year aren’t as experienced, but we can make them work. We had a lot of drama last year and hopefully that is gone.” Ethan Hanahan and Ryan Dinado are expected to be the

setters this year. “Passing in always key, especially with the boys,” Fehrenbacher said. “They tend to be more focused on the aggression of hitting rather than the finesse of passing. So, passing will be the key. I have no doubt that these boys can swing.” Romeoville defeated Joliet Central 25-20, 25-21 in early season action. Jelic had eight blocks and six kills to lead the way. Moser added three aces and six blocks, Javi Capetillo recorded six blocks and four kills and Ethan Hanahan added 15 assists.

“I’m never concerned about the first month,” Haskins said. “We’re going to learn our weaknesses and our strengths. We’re going to be ready to play our best baseball hopefully in May.We get to host a sectional for the first time in program history,

it would be more important if we were in it.” The Spartans defeated Harlan 7-3 and lost to Addison Trail 12-5 before beating Morgan Park 1-0. Brian Hurley struck out 11, while allowing two hits. Vidal Gonzalez scored on a

throwing error. Will Herkel pitched a two hitter in a 1-0 loss to Oak Forest. Gonzalez had two hits in the loss. Venn had a grand slam in Romeoville’s (4-5) 16-3 win over Chicago Brooks.

Congratulations to Edward Gladstone of Romeoville for winning the 2012 Voyager Media Madness contest. Gladstone picked Kentucky to win it all and finished with 105 points. For his efforts he is the winner of the $100 grand prize. I finished in second place with 101 points, but am not eligible for a cash prize. That makes it a big tie for second place, with Plainfield’s Brianna Widler and Katie Hartanovich

Ohio State (2)

(1) Kentucky (2) Kansas

(1) Kentucky Champion (1) Kentucky (4) Louisville and Westmont’s Chris Askew, all of who picked Kentucky as well. Each contestant will win $25. To claim your prize please go to the Voyager Media Office at 23856 Andrew Road in Plainfield. A photo ID is required to prove you are at least 18 years of age. As for the NCAA championship, John Calipari finally broke through and won the NCAA title. This Kentucky team has been dominant throughout the season. The Wildcats lost just two games all year, despite playing a lot of younger players. They stormed through the

Kansas (2) tournament, never really being in danger of losing, except for a brief moment against Louisville. The question now that will be brought up and already has been is if Kentucky winning the championship with oneand-done players is bad for the game. I personally think it is. While Kentucky fans will be just concerned about the title (as any team would), I feel it hurts the integrity of the game. In essence, you can go out and get the top three one-and-done players every year, and compete for a title, while the other teams

have to fight each other for a few other top talents. Some will say there is nothing wrong with this, especially if he is recruiting players the right way. However, others will argue that this is making a mockery out of the system of having to wait for the pros for a year. Calipari doesn’t even have to do much of the recruiting anymore. He can tell the players that he has a proven track record of sending off top 10 draft picks after the year and competing for championships every year. Granted, he has had the perfect

storm this year; something he was missing all the way back to his Memphis days. They had a dominant gamechanging big man, which was the difference. The young team played defense unlike many other freshmen and sophomores. They also shot free throws and the three-point shot better than the past few years. In the end, it doesn’t mean this will happen every year, but the blueprint is made, so the Wildcats could get all the top players in the future. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Real Estate & Business

THE BUGLE APRIL 5, 2012

The real cost of providing health care This has been a hot business and personal finance topic lately,especially in the wake of “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”, better known as “Obamacare”, current Supreme Court hearings regarding the Act’s constitutionality, and this being an election year. I’d put the healthcare costs debate into four categories – medical providers, insurance companies, the legal system, and last but not least… the government. Although each could be a whole article or book, I’ll go easy on the former three here, and to paraphrase Dave Ramsey, punch the latter right in the face. Many people think medical providers are highly paid. In some cases this may be true, but as usual, I have a personal story. A few months ago I had an outpatient procedure that took two preparatory office visits, a two and a half hour surgery plus

prep and recovery time, and two follow-up visits. The highly educated and skilled surgeon billed insurance approximately $5,900. The insurance company disallowed over $4,700 because they can, and the medical providers take it because two-thirds of patients without insurance don’t pay. Insurance only paid $1,100 and my portion is $121 after meeting my deductible with other medical bills. For three hours of that surgeon’s time, minus paying his staff, overhead, malpractice insurance, legal fees, etc., that’s not overpaid in my opinion. I mentioned that insurance companies dictate payments to medical providers, similarly to federal Medicare and state Medicaid. Another major concern is increasing premiums. As the insured population becomes older and sicker, costs increase. Therefore premiums also increase. Currently when someone has a personal Medicare supplemental insurance policy, which is already structured by the government, they can

change companies to get into a new “pool” of policyholders and save premiums. With Medicare, which is partially funded with a mandatory payroll tax on employees and employers, coverage is required, premiums are withheld from Social Security, and the program is administered by the federal government and subsidized with federal general revenues. There is no opt-out, premiums continue to rise, and the trust funds continue to deplete. That’s how our government-run system works so far. The legal system has been scrutinized as a cause for high healthcare costs including malpractice insurance premiums. In 2005, law professors from Duke Law School published an article titled “Judicial Hellholes: Medical Malpractice Claims, Verdicts and the Doctor Exodus in Illinois”. More recently, in August 2010, the AMA released a study analyzing survey responses from over 5,800 physicians that 42 percent are sued at some point in their career, including 6 of 10 who practice until age 55 or older.

Inspire generosity in co-workers Q. By nature I’m a rather envious person. When I notice coworkers g e t t i n g advantages I don’t, I tend to obsess. I find my coworkers are tight-lipped and often unhelpful. How can I get more support from my work team? A. You’ll get more support from your work team if you do the opposite of what your envy would motivate you to do. When we are envious, we find it so painful to see anyone getting what we don’t have that we give little or no support to our coworkers. Our coworkers will return the favor and have no interest in helping us. The attitude of envy whispers to us that we should make sure we never open any doors of opportunity for anyone else because we’ll find it painful to

watch others thrive. If we never benefit anyone in our workplace, we guarantee long-term pain for ourselves because we have no support network that wants to see us succeed. The opposite of envy is the attitude that you should always leave people you work with in a better position every time they deal with you. In every meeting, conversation or phone call, ask yourself what you can offer that would make the other person’s job easier. Most people are naturally quite grateful when you help them. You don’t have to use any manipulative tool to trick them into supporting you, just that good old-fashioned “you fill their bucket, they fill yours.” Your coworkers are motivated to do what they perceive will make their work life better. If you are a consistent source of ideas, resources and referrals, they will need you to do well so you are around to help them. At first, you may find it

nearly physically painful and the opposite of your “normal” instincts to be helpful to your coworkers. Your team may even view your change of attitude with suspicion. However, with every conversation you’ll find it easier to listen for how you can provide a benefit to the person in front of you. As you see your help returned, you’ll be motivated to be an even better resource to your team. We often hear in popular psychology that we should listen to our “gut instincts,” but there are times our gut will lead us astray. You can’t be both a force for preventing your coworkers from getting goodies while you get goodies for yourself. The workplace is a big enough space for everyone to win if you make sure your envy isn’t running your decisions.

By specialty, general surgery and obstetrician-gynecology tops the list at 69 percent. Over half of OB-GYNs surveyed were sued twice or more in their careers. However, a Chicago area medical malpractice lawyer disputes the connection to healthcare costs stating that the “Congressional Budget Office reports that medical malpractice amounts to less than two percent of overall healthcare spending.” Unless something changes, the above-referenced Act is fully effective in 2014. Businesses and individuals will be required to have health insurance or be fined by the IRS. Meanwhile, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee warned that as many

as 16,500 new IRS auditors and investigators, or a 17 percent increase in IRS workforce could be needed to administer and enforce the new health insurance rules. I don’t have the answers, but when you get behind a political candidate this year because of what he or she is going to provide for you, consider what it’s going to cost you, and your children, your children’s children, etc. God Bless America, please!

Changes spice up northern Europe While the countries of southern Europe struggle with financial instability, those living in northern Europe are in stronger shape, thanks to their ability to produce more while consuming less. It remains to be seen to what degree they will continue to bail out their less fiscally responsible neighbors. But one thing’s certain:Travelers to Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia will encounter their share of renovations, red tape, and reinvigorated neighborhoods and sights this year. Berlin remains one of Europe’s most exciting and affordable capitals. The city has been busy updating and expanding several communist sights, including the Berlin Wall Memorial, the DDR Museum, with a quirky collection of communist-era artifacts, and the new but underwhelming Stasi Museum, featuring exhibits on East Germany’s state security service. Unfortunately, visitors to the Reichstag - Germany’s inspirational parliament building - must now make an online reservation in advance to tour its impressive glass dome (www. bundestag.de). If it’s not too crowded, you may be able to get in without a reservation, though it’s unlikely. In Munich, the Lenbachhaus, featuring early Modernist art, and the Halls of the Nibelungen at the Residenz remain closed for renovation and are projected to reopen in 2013. In Wurzburg, the opulent chapel at the Residenz is undergoing restoration and should open to visitors in mid2012, while St. Kilian’s Cathedral will be closed for renovation until the end of the year. The classy horse races near BadenBaden have resumed, with three sessions happening in May,

August, and October. Several new walking tour offerings can help spice up your German adventure. In Rothenburg, the country’s best-preserved medieval walled town, you can now do a walking-tour double feature. Start by strolling the town on the Executioner’s Tour, a macabre hour with Georg Lehle costumed as a 14th-century executioner, then follow it up with the long-recommended Night Watchman’s Tour, accompanied by gritty tales of old-time Rothenburg. If you’re saddled with a long wait at Frankfurt’s airport, the Frankfurt Layover Tour offers a unique way to kill time. Offered by Frankfurt on Foot, the tour lasts at least three hours but can be tailored to your interests and time, and includes pick-up and drop-off at the airport. Changes are also afoot in Switzerland, Germany’s neighbor to the south. In the Swiss capital of Bern, the bears are back. Two years ago, Finn (a male from Finland) and Bjork (a female from Denmark) moved into Bern’s terraced Bear Park and got busy; soon afterward they welcomed female cubs Ursina and Berna. In Lausanne, the Olympic Museum will be closed for renovation until late 2013.During this time, you can still enjoy the park and see the Olympic flame. A temporary floating exhibit, moored just across the street from the park, will feature a taste of the museum’s collection. Considering how hot the Mediterranean region is in the summer, vacationing in Nordic

Copenhagen’s Kodbyen district is home to a number of trendy eateries, including BioMio, a fresh and 100-percent organic take on a traditional cafeteria, located in the old Bosch building.

Europe has become a hit in July and August. As usual, the biggest changes are taking place in the capital cities. In Denmark, Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District, Kodbyen, is one of the city’s most upand-coming destinations for restaurants and nightlife. Located behind the main train station, the neighborhood is filled with trendy galleries and eateries that mingle with surviving offices and warehouses for the local meatpacking industry. In Oslo, Norway, damaged buildings in the Grunerlokka neighborhood now bear a poignant tribute to the events of July 22, 2011 - when an antiimmigration lunatic killed eight people in the city with a car bomb before shooting and killing 69 more at a Labor Party summer camp. Permanent memorials will

eventually be built at the sites of the tragedies. In 2014, the Swedish capital of Stockholm will welcome a new commuter rail line that’s being built beneath its main train station (until then, expect lots of construction). The city is also welcoming a new breed of tourist: fans of Stieg Larsson’s punked-out computer hacker heroine, Lisbeth Salander, and jaded journalist hero, Mikael Blomkvist. Set in Stockholm and shot here, the Hollywood version of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is making the cityscape more recognizable. Just south of the Old Town, the Sodermalm neighborhood is the primary setting of the books. It’s here that fans will find Kvarnen, an oldstyle pub in which Lisbeth hangs out with an all-girl punk band,

and the Mellqvist cafe, where the love-struck Lisbeth sees Mikael kiss his mistress. Fans can also visit the City of Stockholm Museum, which displays Larsson artifacts,features a reconstruction of Mikael’s office at Millennium magazine, and offers Millennium walking tours in English. Despite a few hassles, northern Europe remains one of the easiest places to travel, whether it’s a spring fling to Germany, an alpine adventure in the Swiss Alps, or a summertime swing through Scandinavia.
