POWWOW Continued from page 1 Center of Chicago and will be hosting the Summer Powwow Cultural Days July 20 and July 21. The teepee was brought to the farm a few years back, after Sue Siegel decided to embrace and investigate her Cherokee

background. The fourth-generation of farmers, the Siegel family, rooted in tradition, has been sharing the importance of farming to the area for years, inviting thousands of city children for a day out at the farm, offering a look into a completely different lifestyle that teaches how farmers feed the world. “It becomes a cultural story. I love teaching about our heritage

News and am proud to be a thirdgeneration farmer,” said Siegel. “Our heritage is engrained with the early Americans. I love to see where we have been so it may help us know where we are going.” Building upon their outreach efforts, the Siegels sought a way to enrich the community about Indian culture. A partnership was born with President and Executive Director of the American Indian Center Joseph Podlasek, who also is the President of the National Urban Indian Family Coalition and a Commissioner of City of Chicago Human Relations commission and the idea of a summer Powwow came to life. A powwow is a gathering of North America’s Native people. The word derives from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning “spiritual leader.” A modern powwow is a specific type of event where both Native American and NonNative American People meet to dance, sing, socialize, and honor

American Indian culture. “The American Indian Center is dedicated to servicing the needs of our community,” said Podlasek.“In addition we want

to share our heritage and with the Siegels we can do that in a bigger way. We can start that in this area—it will be a great family event. It will be about getting to know one another and becoming friends.” The main focus of the festival will be on the history and heritage of the Native American Indian Culture in this country and specific to Will County. The Powwow promises to include interactive, educational fun with folk dancers in jingle dress, storytellers, archery and more. The event will be held at the farm from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 20 and 21 at the farm located at 17250 Weber Road, Lockport. “A big part of the Indian culture is step back from the urban environment—that’s what farming is all about as well,” said Siegel.“We both find family heritage vital and we want to share that.” The American Indian Center of Chicago represents the largest non-reservation population of Native Americans in the United States.

Airport partnership bill hitting some turbulence By Nick Reiher Managing Editor

One of Will County’s Springfield lobbyists told board members June 11 that a meeting with Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider could help alleviate some of their concerns due to the last-minute passage of a bill that will move the South Suburban Airport in Peotone forward. Brent Hassert, a former Will County Board members and state legislator, told members of the board’s Legislative and Policy Committee that Senate Bill 20, which contained multiple pieces of economic development legislation, was put together in the closing days of the Legislature’s spring session. Along for the ride on that bill was legislation creating the South Suburban Airport Act, which dedicates funding to the development of a new airport in Peotone and calls for the airport to be built by the Illinois Department of Transportation and operated in a public-private partnership, known as a “P3.” The Illiana Expressway is

being built the same way. Hassert said Gov. Pat Quinn, tired of watching the airport issue stalled on governance issues,pushed for the legislation. Will County legislators, knowing Will County officials as a whole have long supported an airport in Peotone as an economic development engine, pushed for the legislation, he said. Some Will County Board officials were not pleased with the legislation, however, which gives control of the airport to the state. The board has gone on record as saying if there is to be an airport,Will County should control it since it would be built in Will County. County Board Speaker Herb Brooks, D-Joliet, sent a letter to media outlets last week chastising legislators for approving a bill that contradicts board policy without any discussion. He called for the county’s airport consultants to review the bill and report back to a committee-of-the-whole. Board Member Judy Ogalla, R-Monee, did not attend Tuesday’s meeting. But at a board Executive Committee meeting last week,

Ogalla, a member of Shut This Airport Nightmare Down (STAND) chastised County Executive Larry Walsh and legislators for giving IDOT “the keys” to the airport. Walsh, who attended Tuesday’s meeting, and Hassert told the board members that’s how things can happen in Springfield. Dormant legislation, especially one pushed by the governor, can get new life in the waning days of the legislative session. Hassert said the whole issue developed within 48 hours, giving little chance for anyone to comment. Legislative Committee Chair Bob Howard, D-Beecher, said he was down in Springfield as the issue was being discussed. He didn’t realize it until the last day.“I have (the airport) issue day to day,” he said.“I see (this legislation) as a positive.” Walsh and Hassert reiterated what Republican Caucus Chair Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort Township, said at the recent Executive Committee meeting: Now is the time to make sure Springfield knows Will County deserves to be at the table when a governing

authority is put together. Noting the airport legislation calls for IDOT to working with local municipalities and other stakeholders, Hassert said Secretary Schneider likely would be willing to meet with them to discuss the bill and its ramifications. Contacted after the meeting, Schneider said IDOT would be glad to sit down with County Board officials on a project anticipated to employ more than 11,000 workers during construction and as many as 14,000 people after it becomes operational. “We have spoken to many Will County groups and would be glad to meet with the county board at a time that is mutually convenient,” she said in a statement. At it happened, Schneider was in Joliet only days after the passage of the bill for a June 4 Joliet Chamber luncheon. She said after years of gridlock,the South SuburbanAirport plan now “is going forward.” She also said IDOT will indeed work with locals to find a way to address the concerns of the municipalities and other

stakeholders for the project to be successful. Schneider said she knows the quick take provision in the airport legislation is a concern for landowners, as it is for those in the path of the proposed Illiana Expressway. But she said quick take would be “a last resort,” used only if necessary and within a year of actual construction using that particular land. Walsh and Hassert also cautioned that nothing is set in stone for the airport. The state still will need to advertise for a private owner/ operator. If the state can’t find a suitable one, they said, there will be no airport. U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, D-Chicago, who replaced Jesse Jackson Jr., Will County’s main opponent in the battle for control of the airport, said she believes there still needs to be a governing authority composed of representatives from local municipalities. Hassert said that would resurrect the control issue that long prevented the airport issue from moving forward.

SPIKEYHAIR SUPPORT Boy, 8, designs toy to help autistic children By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

On a mission to help other children and families with autism, Paul Richards brought his 8-year-old grandson’s drawings to life in the form of Spikeyhair! characters. Looking to mass-produce the product, Richards is hoping to call on the support of the community. The Richards family knows first hand the struggles of living with autism. Tyler Richards, who around the age of 5, began drawing a series of characters he called Spikeyhairs, has a mild form of Information autism. on Spikey“All of them were hairs can be kinda like stuffed found at http:// animals,” said Tyler, spikeyhairs. who modeled them com, and at after his father’s www.indiegogo. Mohawk haircut. com/projects/ “Some of them spikeyhairs and were a little strange on Facebook at facebook.com/ because they have spikeyhairs. those spikes.” Richards said Tyler posted several of his Spikeyhairs! on the walls of their home, and he loved to show them to people. It gave him the idea that maybe he could share his Spikeyhairs! with the world. “They sat there for a couple of years, and I’m not quite sure what gave me the idea, but I just looked at them and thought this would be really cool to make a stuffed animal,” said Richards, a former counselor at Valley View’s Phoenix Experience. “I did some research and found a company that would match it perfectly with the drawings.” Thus was born the “Spikeyhairs!” company. His wish is to provide Tyler with a career and a lifestyle that will allow him to achieve the highest level of independent adult functioning he is capable of achieving. Right now, set to be a third-grader at Hermansen Elementary School, he is doing very well, loves computers and teaches himself wonderful things. “Tyler is very caring and generous and is always eager to donate toys he no longer plays with and gives things to other people,” said Richards. “It is this quality in him that made me realize the only way to share his Spikeyhairs! with the world is by sharing with others the rewards he receives.” However, he said he has found that for those living with autism, it is sometimes hard to find the support needed.He wants to help change that. If the product takes off, 25 percent of the proceeds will go to charities and organizations that directly benefit such families. As the business grows, so will their

donation. Richards said they are committed to raising and donating as much money as they can to help people living with autism to achieve whatever dreams they have. The prototype is complete, and Tyler is ecstatic to see one of his drawings come to life in the shape of a toy he could hold in his hand. Now the family is left with raising the funds to get the first toy into production. The Richards need $8,900 to make the first 500 Spikeyhairs! plush toys. And they need it by midnight July 6, because that’s the indiegogo.com fundraising deadline they’ve set for a go/no-go decision. Indiegogo.com is a website designed to help passionate, hard-working entrepreneurs raise money to bring their ideas to fruition.

“If we don’t get the $8,900, we won’t be able to produce them, and Indiegogo will give everyone their money back. It’s kind of all or nothing,” Richards said.“It won’t be the end of Spikeyhairs! though. It’ll put the plush toys on hold for a while, but we’ll still go on with fundraisers and other things.” Richards plans on helping the Hermansen autism program with a fundraiser next school year by selling Spikeyhairs! T-shirts and wristbands. He hopes to hold similar autism fundraisers throughout the area. He also hopes to create a Spikeyhairs! Foundation to fund special projects like sending siblings of children with autism to camp to learn about living with brothers and sisters who have autism.

Tyler also wants to create Spikeyhairs! pajamas, a mouse pad and a Kindle cover case “so if you drop it, it won’t break. And then I’m going to do a waterproof cover, too, with a Spikeyhairs! logo on the back.” Richards hopes Spikeyhairs! grows into a thriving family business that will not only generate some present income for his family but also help provide money for whatever Tyler needs in the future. “He’s been doing really well. But at this point, we don’t know how far he is going to go when he gets to be an adult,” Richards said.“It would be really cool if when he gets older he could take everything over and run it himself.” “That would be cool, yes,”Tyler said.

Romeoville police, Lewis partner up By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The Romeoville Police Department and Lewis University Police Department have solidified its partnership, sharing jurisdiction on the Lewis Campus and surrounding area. Romeoville Police Chief Mark Turvey reported that Lewis University has its own, full police department responsible for patrolling the campus. The two groups have outlined a procedural plan for how to respond certain instances, he added. “I feel this is a positive move and will be a great partnership,” said Turvey. Both departments have jurisdiction on the campus area and will respond accordingly. Romeoville Police will continue to respond to any and all 911 calls, and Lewis University police will be able to patrol the area just outside the school should

there be a need. The agreement says nothing will prevent either the village department or the Lewis department from performing their lawful jurisdiction or providing law enforcement situations as “first responders” in response to any request for apparent need or emergency services. Both departments will determine and mutually agree which department would best handle an incident and handling of a case maybe transferred between departments. The two departments also will share resources with specialized assistance and services consistent with their available resources. In addition, Lewis University police will be able to enforce village ordinances in the same manner as the village department, filing appropriate violation complaints, traffic citations or other charges.

Carillon community quilters honor veterans By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

In a visual showpiece of honor, a group of seniors from the Carillon community banded together to create a quilt of red, white and blue to be raffled off at the community’s annual Honor America Breakfast. Last year, a similar patriotic quilt was raffled off at the event and given to a soldier in Indiana. The quilting group hopes to do the same again this year at its July 4 celebration. “It is a quilt of valor that we have put together to honor our veterans and in return, we use it as a fundraising tool for our activities club,” said Joanne Rohlicek. “It’s our hobby, but we enjoy the sharing of community, working together and the outreach to the greater community.” The activities club sponsors various projects throughout LAURA KATAUSKAS/STAFF REPORTER the year within the private community homes to support Members of the Carillon Activity Club unveil the hand-crafted patriotic quilt.

Will rehab program second in country Nearly 100 homes rehabbed and resold, $27 million poured into local economy Will County Board members recently highlighted the successful administration of its neighborhood stabilization program (NSP) that ranks second in the country. Almost 100 foreclosed homes have been renovated in areas of the county hit hardest by the housing crisis. “The downturn in the housing market left nearly every neighborhood with blighted and vacant properties,” said Speaker Herbert Brooks. “This program replaced dilapidated homes with newly renovated ones and made the dream of homeownership possible for many families.Because of the successful administration of NSP, we have seen property values improve and our communities’ housing stocks begin to stabilize. In addition, this program has led to employment for contractors, realtors, carpenters, roofers, drywallers, painters, plumbers, appraisers and many more.” The program to purchase, rehab and resell foreclosed homes was made possible because of a grant received as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The program has closed on 93 homes and 89 have been resold or rented. The average cost of the homes, including the cost of rehab, has been $140,000. The areas of the county where homes have been purchased include Romeoville, Crest Hill, Lockport,

Bolingbrook, Rockdale, and unincorporated Joliet. These areas were selected utilizing foreclosure and mortgage data that revealed both actual and predicted high rates of foreclosure. Democratic caucus chair Diane Zigrossi (D-Crest Hill), whose professional background includes 28 years in the banking and commercial real estate lending arena, has proudly watched the program’s success over the past few years, noting the county originally estimated 24 homes would be rehabbed and resold with the available grants funds but far surpassed that goal. “This is a great example of stimulus funds being utilized effectively and very efficiently,”said Zigrossi. “Will County’s prudent fiscal management was able to recycle the grant funds as homes were bought and sold, stretching the dollars far beyond any of our expectations. Because of this, the $5.16 million grant has essentially turned into $11.7 million. I applaud everyone involved in the management of this program, and the important role they played in restoring our communities and neighborhoods.” The community wide economic impact of the program has reached far and wide, as an estimated $27 million was poured into the local economy. With nearly 40 buyers on a waiting list for NSP homes, the county hopes to make it to 100 homes resold before all the grants funds are spent.

Will County ham radio service demonstration Even with the Internet, cell phones, email and other forms of modern communications, each year whole regions can be left in the dark.Tornadoes, fires,

storms, ice and the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables can leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one consistent service that has never failed has been amateur radio.These radio operators - often called “hams” - provide backup communications to the American Red Cross, FEMA and even for the International Space Station. On June 22 and 23, Will County area “hams” will join with thousands of other Amateur Radio operators from across the state to demonstrate their emergency capabilities. In the Joliet area, the Will County Emergency Management Agency Amateurs will be demonstrating Amateur Radio beginning at 1 p.m. Sat., June 22 through 1 p.m. Sun., June 23 at the Lower Rock Run Forest Preserve – I & M Canal access on the West side of Hollywood Road (the South extension of Houbolt Road).The public is invited to attend and see ham radio’s new capabilities and learn how to get a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) radio license before the next disaster strikes.

Horoscopes When someone asks you to put it on the line, they don’t expect you to get out the clothespins and laundry. Be honest with yourself - and others - in the week to come. Don’t beat around the bush.

During the first half of the week, your decision-making skills are at their best, especially when dealing with finances. Be sure to get the best of everything; quality should not be confused with quantity.

In the week to come, you could realize that it’s not what you look at, but what you see that is important. Accept every opportunity to better yourself, even if it is dressed up and disguised as hard work.

You might be partial to material success, but are willing to get in touch with your spiritual side in your free time. There may be some things going on behind the scenes that will work out in your favor this week.

This week, events or friends could encourage you. Someone could offer you an incentive to begin a new study, join a team sports program or travel. Every opportunity contains a hidden benefit.

Speak gently. Develop the habit of speaking calmly and other people will begin to listen to what you say. During the week ahead, you can improve your reputation and engender good will through teamwork.

Some people are proud of good housekeeping, but you might take pride in good heart-keeping. In the week ahead, put your best efforts into mending fences and head off misunderstandings in advance.

Play to your strengths. The more you stretch mental and physical muscles, the stronger you will be. You may earn respect for insisting upon ethical and responsible behavior in the upcoming week.

Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and you won’t need to remember stories. The upcoming week provides opportunities to clear the air and put relationships back on track.

You might be wise to remember in the week ahead that it is often better to cross the line than to sign the dotted one. Just because everything is going well does not mean you can let down your guard

Make hay while the sun shines. In the early part of the week, you will be luckier and more content than usual and may have opportunities to express your creative talents or enjoy family entertainments.

An insight can incite a riot of thought. You might be tempted to take impulsive action at the drop of a hat in the week ahead, but by remaining calm, cool, and collected you can honor commitments, too.

Mistwood’s Performance Center completed By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville has spent the past few years in a renovation phase. While the total renovation still isn’t complete, the course is nearly done and the state of the art Performance Center is complete. On Monday, June 10, Mistwood had a media day to show the brand new center, as well as the redesigned course. The course itself has had a facelift, with changes to every hole. There are several small changes and a few major changes. The course now plays longer and swamp areas are now water hazards. It plays at 7,040 yards from the tournament tees, yet still is a very playable 6,249 yards from the blue tees and 5,244 from the red, with gold and black tees available to play as well between the tournament tees and the blue tees. People will surely come to Mistwood to check out the new design, but what might bring even more people there is the Performance Center.

Hannon heads all-area team By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

For the past few seasons, the Minooka boys volleyball team has grown into a perennial state power house. And for the past two seasons, setter Phil Hannon has been the person making the team go. This season, Hannon posted 881 assists to help lead Minooka to a 36-3 record. The Indians lost only twice to Illinois teams, both coming to state runner-up Lincoln-Way North. “It was a lot of fun,” Hannon said. “I have never had a team with so many hitting options. After my junior year, I was wondering who would be my main option and it turned out there was no main option. I could spread it around depending on who was on and where I was on the court. It made it a lot easier for me to play. Most people think the setter doesn’t get too excited when the ball goes down and they think the hitters get all the excitement, but when I see a ball go down, I know I was a part of that.” For his efforts, Hannon is

the 2013 Voyager Media Boys Volleyball Player of the Year. “I wasn’t expecting to be recognized too much because I am just the setter on a team with these massive hitters everyone is talking about,” Hannon said. “But, I guess it feels pretty good to be the leader of that and be recognized for it. Other coaches would tell me and tell our coach they didn’t know how we would be without a good setter, so I guess I am almost compared to the quarterback. I just feed the other players and hope they do what they can with the ball.” While his main duties were as the setter, Hannon took pride on being a multi-dimensional player, adding to the team defense when he could. This season, he posted 50 digs and 69 blocks, the third-best block total on the team. While the Indians are losing a lot of offensive firepower from this year’s team, coach Janel Grzetich said it will be tough to replace a setter like Hannon. “It will be extremely difficult to replace him,” she said. “Not only does the setter have to have unbelievable hands, but has to

be able to read blockers and make a split-second decision if a pass is slightly off, which hitter do I go to in which rotation. It is very difficult and he makes it look easy.” Hannon will attend Southern Illinois University-Carbondale next season and will play volleyball for the club team, but not for the university team, instead focusing on his education. He plans to major in aviation or music. The rest of the members on the Voyager Media All-Area team are:

DOUG AREMKA Plainfield North junior totaled 168 kills and 73 blocks, with a hitting percentage of .460.

GILIUS BLINSTRUBAS Blinstrubas, a senior from Downers North, missed 10 matches this season due to bursitis in his foot, which flared up and caused him a lot of pain. And the Trojans definitely See ALL-AREA, page 16

Nonetheless, Blinstrubas put down 216 kills and served at 89 percent, both team highs. He added 28 blocks, 31 aces and 104 digs. Blinstrubas will be playing collegiate volleyball at Sienna Heights (Mich.).

DAVID DEMARCO DeMarco was the heart and soul of Downers South’s state championship club. No matter where the ball happened to be on DGS’ side of the court, DeMarco managed to get to it. DeMarco totaled 404 digs and had 17 aces. He and Nick Timreck will be teammates on the Dominican University’s fledgling volleyball team in 2014.

ANDRE FLORES A senior from Plainfield

East, Flores guiding the Bengals to a regional title. He finished the year with 144 kills, 97 aces, 168 digs and 174 assists. “This last offseason he worked his butt off,” Vergo said of Flores. “In the last match against Bolingbrook and tonight, he showed that he wants this. He wants to put the team on his shoulders. He is on a level on his own right now.”

ELI GELFAND Named to the CSL South AllConference squad, Niles West’s Gelfand appeared to have the best chemistry with the team’s setter, Jordan Moy, on the team, according to coach Drew Roche. Gelfand netted 236 kills, 33 total blocks, 60 digs and 24 aces, for the Wolves, who advanced to the regional title game.

JAMES HILL A senior from Plainfield South, Hill finished the year with 189 kills.

STEVEN LENDY Notre Dame coach Patrick Cole says Lendy, a junior, is the first player he’s ever had where all-state is a definite consideration going forward. Lendy registered team-bests in kills (286), digs (133), aces (34), and had 35 total blocks along with a .389 hitting percentage (third on the team). Lendy had 10 matches in which he posted at least 10 kills.

BRIAN LYMAN Joliet West junior was a standout for the Tigers, posting 351 kills, 133 digs, 60 blocks and 37 aces.

JORDAN MOY Niles West utilized a 5-1 system, and Moy ran the show for his team. The junior piled up 764 assists with 152 digs (second on the team), and served at a 90.6 percentage with 21 aces.

BROOKS NEVERLY The senior three-year starter was, in Downers North coach Mark Wasik’s words, “Probably one of the strongest, if not the strongest, libero I’ve ever seen.” Next spring, Nevrly will team up with his former Downers South rivals, Nick Timreck and David DeMarco, at Dominican University in River Grove, which is starting up a new Division III team. Nevrly had 418 digs, 24 aces and a 96.1 percent serve-receive average, and added 38 assists. See ALL-AREA, page 17

The putting lab features technology to improve your game around the green.There is Quintec Putting Analysis, which is an HD camera-based software that tells you your putting angle, where you hit the ball on the face, the consistency of your strokes and the accuracy of your strokes, among other things.

Stepping outside there is the driving range, where the left portion of the range is set up with the Trackman technology, which is radar-based analytic software, as well as the Foresight GC2, which is an HD Camerabased analytic software. It allows you to see several different swinging stats, including your swing speed. From there the staff can fit you into the clubs that you need to be successful in the fitting center.

NATE WOLF Wolf, an all-CSL South pick from Maine South, has grown not only in height—he was 5-8 his freshman year; now he’s

heating lights and concrete. The mats throughout the center are almost as good as fairway grass is. After your workout, you can come inside the center to grab some refreshments at the bar area or sit down at the tables and watch TV. There are also TVs by the driving range so you can stop between shots and catch the action. There also is a club repair room where you can get new grips or even get your clubs fixed for both repair or to better suit your game. The major change still ahead for Mistwood, is the likelihood of a new clubhouse, but there still is no exact timetable. All in all, Mistwood Golf Club has turned into a place where you can go back to every week or spend an entire day there.

The Ball State recruit passed up his senior year on the basketball team, deciding to devote all his energies to volleyball. It paid off as he led Hawks, who advanced to sectionals, in kills (251) and passing percentage (2.42 on a 3-point scale) to go along with 142 digs, 14 solo blocks and 26 block-assists (second on the team), and 24 aces.

SAWYER YEAZEL The Benet senior, named ESCC Player of the Year this spring, was a three-year starter for the Redwings. He was second on the club with 173 kills and 138 digs, led the team with 32 aces and had 22 blocks with a 2.4 passing percentage on a 3-point scale. Scott Taylor and Mike Sandrolini also contributed

Nascar remembers Jason Leffler By David Caraviello NASCAR.com

The NASCAR community was left stunned Wednesday night by the news that driver Jason Leffler had been killed in an accident during a sprint-car race in New Jersey. Leffler, 37, died in a crash at Bridgeport Speedway, a fiveeighths mile high-banked dirt track in Swedesboro, N.J. He was pronounced dead shortly after 9 p.m. Eastern time, according to the Associated Press. RETURN TO DIRT-RACING ROOTS EXCITED LEFFLER A native of Long Beach, Calif., Leffler has been a fixture at NASCAR’s national level since

1999.The two-time winner on the NASCAR Nationwide Series leaves behind a young son, Charlie. “NASCAR extends its thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to the family of Jason Leffler who passed away earlier this evening,” NASCAR said in statement. “For more than a decade, Jason was a fierce competitor in our sport and he will be missed.” According to local news reports from the area, Leffler had to be extricated from his vehicle and was taken by ambulance to a local trauma center, where he later died from his injuries. Bridgeport Speedway immediately suspended racing for the rest of the night after the accident occurred.

Jason Leffler signs autographs for fans before a Nationwide race in 2011. Leffler, 37, died last week after an accident during a sprintcar race in New Jersey.

“I’m completely devastated to hear about Jason Leffler. It doesn’t seem real. Pray for his family tonight,” Nationwide Series driver Trevor Bayne wrote on Twitter, echoing the sentiments of many who knew the well-liked former U.S.Auto Club champion. “Sitting here in disbelief,” veteran NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler wrote on Twitter.“All I can think about is Charlie. Prayers to

his little boy.” Leffler made his first NASCAR start this season in Sunday’s Sprint Cup Series event at Pocono Raceway, where he finished 43rd. Although he competed at NASCAR’s top level for both Joe Gibbs Racing and Chip Ganassi, his best years came on the Nationwide tour, where he finished inside the top 10 in points five times. He won

Nationwide races for owners Gene Haas and Todd Braun, and also won a Camping World Truck Series event in 2003 for Jim Smith. But Leffler’s roots were in the USAC ranks, where he won three midget titles to go along with a silver crown championship. He returned to those roots this season, competing most of the year in a winged sprint car.

BIFFLE WINS FORD’S 1,000th RACE Greg Biffle feels right at home at Michigan International Speedway. He took the lead for good on a late restart and ran away from the field in the closing laps to win Sunday’s Quicken Loans 400. The No. 16 Ford driver won his second straight race here and the 19th of his career. Four of those victories have come at MIS. “It’s definitely a special day,” Biffle said after delivering Ford Motor Co. its 1,000th victory in NASCAR’s three national touring series. “Just super-excited for Ford and sure excited to be No. 1,000.” The win secured Biffle a berth in the 2014 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race and moved him up a spot to eighth in the standings. Second a week ago at Pocono, Biffle led the pack to the restart on lap 173 and outran Martin Truex Jr. to stay out front. He led a race-best 48 laps. Owner Jack Roush’s operations center is in suburban Detroit and he considers MIS his home track. He was beaming almost as broadly as his driver. “We expect to be at our best when we come to MIS and I am glad we could pull it off,” Roush said. “I was a little nervous for a minute there, but I am glad it worked out and glad we could give Ford its 1,000th win.”

Inheritance, long-term care, tapping retirement savings By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

Every few months, I like to use this space to empty out the inbox and answer some reader questions. And just a reminder: If you have a financial question or a comment about a recent column, send it to askjill@jillonmoney. com. And if you would like to be a guest on my syndicated radio show, call 1-855-411-JILL. Q. My ex-husband’s father died recently and left six of his grown grandchildren $40,000 each, but his two grandchildren from my marriage were excluded (due to the messiness of my divorce). The cousins want to reduce their inheritances and include my children, but I am worried that this may not be legal. What are your thoughts? - Patty A. You are smart to recognize that a will is a legal document, but

this is actually not a legal issue. Some might say that it is heresy to mess with the deceased’s wishes, but let’s deal with the mechanics first. Once the money is distributed from the estate to the six adult grandchildren, it is theirs to do with what they please. If one wants to blow the amount on a car, so be it. Similarly, if all six chose to give $10,000 each to anyone, including your grown kids, it is perfectly legitimate. (The IRS annual gift tax exclusion is $14,000 annually, so there would be no gift tax applied to these gifts.) If just three of the six want to be generous, that’s fine - there does not need to be consensus. It may not be exactly what grandpa wanted, but it is a pretty cool demonstration of cousinly love. Q. With regard to self-insuring

for long-term care, does net worth mean with or without the house you live in? - Joan A. For most planning issues like long-term care (LTC) or retirement needs analysis, I suggest excluding the equity in your home. As we all learned during the last downturn, selling an illiquid asset like a home can be difficult. Also, many people would prefer to stay in their homes, even if they were afflicted with a long-term illness. That said: If you are single and are willing to sell your home to enter a facility, you could include the home as part of the planning process. One more note about a recent LTC column: Alan correctly pointed out that I omitted New York Life as a quality provider of LTC insurance. Q. I am 68 years old and will retire at the end of the year. I have

three different “pots” of savings, with roughly equal amounts: my 401(k), a Roth IRA and a regular investment account. Does it matter which account I draw from to supplement my Social Security income? - Jerome A. Sometimes it can be easier to accumulate retirement savings than to figure out how to actually tap the money when you need it. Remember to keep at least one year’s worth of expenses sacrosanct in a safe (read: boring and low interest) account, like a savings, checking or short-term CD.The emergency reserve fund should be in a non-retirement account. You should then plan on depleting the pots as follows: non-retirement accounts first, followed by employer-based retirement accounts and IRAs, and lastly, Roth IRAs. The theory is based on taxation: the non-

retirement funds have already been subjected to income tax, so using them may mean liquidating and paying capital gains rates, but those rates are lower than income tax rates. Retirement assets come next because Uncle Sam will force you to withdraw funds starting after age 70 1/2 anyway (these funds have not yet been taxed at either the federal or state levels). Roth IRAs should come last because you have paid all of the taxes due. If you are fortunate enough not to need your Roth IRA funds, they will pass to your heirs, free of income tax. Of course, if you have a total estate that is subject to federal or estate tax, your Roth IRA will be included as an estate asset. Now, keep those questions coming - I really do enjoy hearing from you!

Lifestyle changes may help lower risk of gout attacks By Tribune Media Services

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: Are

there natural ways to prevent gout attacks or at least lessen the severity? I don’t want to take

medication if it’s not necessary. ANSWER: If you have been diagnosed with gout, you can make lifestyle changes that may help lower the risk of future gout attacks. Gout is a form of arthritis that happens when sharp particles, called urate crystals, build up in a joint, causing severe pain, tenderness and swelling. One joint commonly affected by gout is located at the base of the big toe. Urate crystals form when high levels of uric acid are present in the blood. Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines substances found naturally in the body, as well as in certain foods. Uric acid usually dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much uric acid or your kidneys flush out too little uric acid. When this happens, gout often results. One of the most helpful ways to prevent gout attacks is to maintain a healthy body weight. Research has shown that excess weight is a major risk factor for developing gout. If you are overweight, losing weight can lower uric acid levels in your body and significantly reduce your risk of gout attacks. Regarding the type of diet

you should follow, the traditional thinking was that reducing the amount of foods that contain purines could substantially decrease the risk of gout flares. However, managing a low-purine diet can be quite cumbersome, and the success of such a diet in lowering blood uric acid levels is actually quite low. Even if you strictly follow a low-purine diet, the decrease in your blood uric acid level is rarely enough to cure gout. Instead, a lower-calorie diet - one that replaces refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, others) with more complex carbohydrates, limits meat, and increases vegetables and fruit often can be much more effective at reducing blood uric acid levels than a low-purine diet. Specifically, to lower your risk of gout, eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat milk products. Get your protein mainly from lowfat dairy products because they may protect against gout. Limit the meat, fish and poultry you eat to no more than 4 to 6 ounces a day. Drink 8 to 16 cups, or about 2 to 4 liters, of fluid daily, with at least half of that being water. In addition, avoid foods and beverages that have been shown to increase the risk of gout attacks, including those

that are rich in fructose, such as fruit-flavored drinks, non-diet soda and many processed foods. Drinking alcohol, especially beer, is also a significant risk factor for gout. Studies have suggested that drinking two or more beers a day can double the risk of a gout attack. So limit the amount of alcohol you drink, or avoid it completely. Although you mention a preference not to take medication, if you have other health problems, some medications taken for those conditions may also be useful in preventing gout. For example, the blood pressure medication losartan has been shown to lower uric acid levels, and a variety of medications used to treat high cholesterol also have a beneficial effect on blood uric acid levels. If you have high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol and are managing them with medication, talk to your doctor about using a drug that could help prevent gout, as well. Finally, if lifestyle changes aren’t enough to control gout, very effective medications are available. If you decide to try medication, talk to your doctor about which one is right for you. - Tim Bongartz, M.D., Rheumatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.

Helping an employee understand the meaning of no Q. I have an employee that treats “no” as little more than a speed bump. He just goes faster and pretends I didn’t say anything. Also, if I give him an inch on any policy, he figures the policy doesn’t even apply. I have had repeated conversations where I point out the rules; he smiles and then does what he damn pleases. How do I get him to toe the line? A. You are facing a typical managerial frustration. Most people don’t like the word “no.” You will get your employee to toe the line when you stop talking and simply make it extremely painful to speed up as he cruises by posted limits. The first time we learn to dislike the word “no” is when we are about 18 months old. The reason we have dubbed this developmental phase the Terrible Twos is because

parents generally are put through heck by their clever, stubborn toddler. Unfortunately, the workplace is full of people whose parents never really figured out how to make them respect the word “no.” One of the best resources for effective management, ironically, is parenting books. Most problems you’ll run into as a manager are unresolved issues the parents of your employees didn’t handle well. There are three styles of parenting, and managers often use only one of them. The first style is autocratic (You do what I say or I’ll spank you!), the second is permissive (Isn’t it cute you’re setting the cat’s tail on fire?), and the last is authoritative (I listen and understand but I have the final say). Most of your employees were either parenting with

autocratic parents (which makes people sneaky) or permissive parents (which makes people narcissistic). The employees that were parenting with a balance of limits and consequences will never be your problem “children.” Your specific employee clearly had parents of the permissive sort. He expects you’ll talk and talk and talk, and he can do whatever the heck he wants. If you want his respect, you need to stop talking and start acting. Set up a private meeting and let him know you want to continue to have him on your team. Then hand him a list of behaviors that aren’t working with a list of concrete consequences that will occur next time he does one of these behaviors. Classic consequences can include a day of suspension, being barred from participating in important events, and even ultimately losing his job.

Remember throughout your conversations that these consequences are his choice! Make it clear to him that you respect whatever decisions he makes regarding his new knowledge about behavior and consequences. Emphasize that you know he will let you know whether there is a match between what this job requires and what he is willing to do. Then let the chips fall. The beauty of this approach to parenting and to management is you are no longer the bad guy or gal. You have the power to determine all the boundaries and expectations, but your employee has the power to keep or lose the job. Next time your employee cruises past an office speed bump, the only one who will get hurt is him. As I have often told my kids, “Suffering is the great teacher of youth!” Take yourself out of the cycle of useless arguments. Let your

employee suffer and decide whether he is ready to grow up.

Last word(s) Q. I feel insecure all the time at my office. I try to read between the lines, read body language and guess at what people think of my work, but I don’t know if I’m right. Is there any surefire way to know what people think of my work? A. Yes, ask! Making up information without concrete data makes all human beings feel insecure.

Doing the right thing by paying back a family loan Dear Dave, I borrowed $30,000 from my aunt to buy a condo eight years ago.We had a deal that she would get her money back, plus a piece of the profits, when it sold. If there were no profits, she would get back her original $30,000. Recently the condo sold and I lost the money I put into it, plus my aunt’s money as well. I make good money and don’t have any other debt, but I’m a little resentful now that she wants me to pay her back. Do you have any suggestions? Christine Dear Christine, I don’t want to be mean, but you have no right to be resentful toward your aunt.This is the deal

you signed up for, and she did nothing wrong.Wanting her money back now isn’t greedy or malicious on her part, and it’s definitely not worth putting a family relationship at risk. I know what you’re thinking, because it’s just human nature.You just went through a lot, and the situation didn’t work out as planned. Plus, it doesn’t sound like your aunt is hurting financially if she put $30,000 toward helping you in the deal. Part of you is thinking she has plenty of money, so why doesn’t she just forgive the debt and forget about everything? If you were barely scraping by, I might suggest that you sit down

and talk with her over a cup of coffee, explain the situation and ask her to forgive the debt. Right now, the little girl part of you is whining,“Oh, come on. Just let me go!” But the grown-up Christine knows better.That part of you is whispering,“You know what to do…” Pay her back as quickly as possible, and get this bad deal behind you for good.You said you make good money, so just take care of your responsibility. It’ll hurt some, but it’s better than taking a chance on ruining the relationship with a very generous and loving aunt. —Dave

Watch what you give ‘em Dear Dave, I’m working on my debt snowball, and I’m trying to settle

with a pushy collector. I don’t have the $9,000 I owe, but I have $3,000 I’d like to offer as a settlement. Recently the collector has started asking for a lot of information I don’t feel comfortable providing. What should I do? Daniel Dear Daniel, Lots of times in these kinds of situations collectors are trying to gather up as much information as possible in order to sue you. Even if that’s not the case here, there’s no reason for you to be supplying them with a bunch of extra info. Just offer them the $3,000, and make it clear that your financial coach— which is me—told you not to answer any more of their nosy questions. Make sure they understand that your offer of $3,000

stands as a settlement of the debt today. If they’re willing to accept the offer, get a statement in writing saying that the $3,000 represents payment in full before you cut the check. If they choose not to accept your offer, and they keep asking questions that are none of their business, just tell them to call back when they’re willing to discuss terms.Then, hang up! —Dave Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.
