Two sides meet to decide future of Joliet youth center, other state facilities

By Jonathan Samples Staff Reporter

Arbitration continued this week between Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration and the union representing state employees at Joliet’s youth center and several other state facilities.

The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees and the administration entered into arbitration after Quinn finalized his plan to close seven state prison facilities. Last week, First District Circuit Court judge Charles Cavaness issued an injunction preventing the administration from closing those facilities.

“This injunction prevents the Quinn administration from taking any steps to move forward with the closures,including transferring inmates or laying-off employees, until our grievances are resolved,” AFSCME spokesperson Anders Lindall said.

Of those facilities originally scheduled to close Aug. 31, IYC-

Joliet has received significant attention from local lawmakers because of its status as the only maximum-security youth detention facility in the state.

Illinois Sen. Pat McGuire has said that the Joliet youth center’s proximity to Cook County, as well as the level of security and types of services it provides, are important reasons why it should remain operational.

“I understand the importance of community-based treatment for some youths, but we’re talking about maximum-security youth,” McGuire told the Bugle in a June interview. “I doubt if communitybased care and ankle bracelets are appropriate for them.”

Under the plan, juveniles currently housed at the Joliet facility would be transferred to detention centers in St. Charles and Kewanee. The governor has said the closures are necessary because of fiscal concerns.

Furthermore, fewer juvenile detainees and a desire to move away from detention and towards

rehabilitation for juveniles has motivated the governor’s decision regarding IYC-Joliet and youth detention facility in Murphysboro.

However, critics have said the closures would put less-hardened juvenile inmates at risk and affect the safety of employees. Lindall said the closures would jeopardize the safety of both employees and inmates at transfer facilities. The union spokesperson said facilities in St. Charles and Kewanee are not capable of housing the violent youth currently held at IYC-Joliet.

“Those are not maximum security facilities,” Lindall said.

“They don’t have the safety features, they don’t have the staffing and training that Joliet has to handle a maximum security population, and they have a group of juveniles that tend to be younger and less hardened.There’s grave concern about mixing those populations.”

According to Lindall, state facilities are currently capable of housing 33,000 inmates. However, he said that number has soared

to more than 49,000, and the proposed closures would only worsen the problem.

“The loss of any of these facilities would worsen that dangerous overcrowding,” he said.

Cavaness’ ruling seemed to reaffirm AFSCME’s claims that closures could jeopardize employee safety,saying“irreparable harm” could come to employees if the closures occur before the arbitration process is completed.

However, the administration said the injunction violates the governor’s executive powers and will cost the state $7 million every month those facilities remain open. Quinn spokesperson Abdon Pallasch told the Associated Press that the administration would appeal the decision to the Illinois Supreme Court. The governor’s press office declined comment.

The decision by the administration to appeal the recent injunction has drawn additional criticism from AFSCME. Lindall said the move shows the governors unwillingness to

negotiate with the union. In a related battle between the two parties and collective bargaining, an independent arbitrator sided with the union. AFSCME was also granted a temporary restraining order, prior to the recent injunction. The administration appealed both of those rulings.

“The governor continues to waste tax-payer money and time in court to overturn decisions of judges and arbitrators, who have looked at the closures and deemed them bad policies,” Lindall said.

With regards to claims that the ruling violates the governor’s executive power to close state facilities, Lindall said the administration has made that argument before and it failed.

“There is very recent precedent that there argument doesn’t hold water,” he said. “When the First District issued the temporary restraining order, they made that same argument and the appellate panel rejected it.” jsamples@buglenewspapers.com

Harvest Saturday sets fundraiser for next week

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Organizers of Harvest Saturday, one of the largest efforts aimed

at stomping out hunger, will be hosting a fundraiser this Monday to gear up for the event.

All day Tuesday, 20 percent of all sales from At’s A Nice Pizza,

located at Route 53 and 135th Street, will go to benefit Harvest Saturday.

The annual food drive will take place Nov. 17 this year, and is an

event that has always brought forth an outpouring show of support for fellow neighbors for the past 18 years. Last year alone, more than 500 volunteers came

together to gather donations for the event, collecting more than 1200 boxes of food, which were distributed to five local food pantries in the area for the Thanksgiving holiday and beyond.

Organizer Terry Hinchey said while some say the economy is starting to turn, there are still people hurting and in need of food.

“There are so many people who are hungry—you see it at the food pantries and you hear about it throughout the area,” Hinchey said. “It is simple—we need to help.”

Hinchey says proceeds from this fundraiser will go a long way to help getting things started for this year’s event.

Coupons will be provided at the restaurant so that customers can chose to have the 20 percent of their bill be donated to Harvest Saturday.This also applies to takeout and delivery orders. People wishing to donate should ask their server or delivery person.

Community takes a stand against domestic violence

By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Communities and their residents throughout northern Will County gathered together last week in a Take Back the Night rally designed to shatter the silence and break the cycle of domestic violence.

Lawrence McCrimon used to stay up all night to protect his daughter, Shennel, from her estranged husband from breaking in and assaulting her.

But he was unable to protect her everywhere she went.

When she was out in public, her husband, under a protection order, managed to shoot her at close range then shot himself.

McCrimon is still convinced her death could have been avoided if the authorities were aware of her husband’s protection order and confiscated his handgun before he ended her life.

Maria Riveria was 51 when she lived the last moment

of her life. She was simply opening the door to her home after someone knocked on it.

Little did she know she would be opening the door to an angry and jealous ex-husband pointing a gun to her head. He made a choice to take her life.

She left behind a son and many friends and family members.

These are the stories written on the Silent Witness Display, wooden statues that lined the Levy Center in Bolingbrook during the 14th annual rally.

Local leaders, legislators and agency representatives all came together to encourage advocacy for these individuals and offer support.

Every nine seconds a bell rang in the distance, a reminder of each time a woman is beaten or assaulted in the United States. Congresswoman Judy Biggert spoke of her work to reauthorize the Violence against Women’s Act. Initially passed in 1994,

VAWA created the first federal legislation acknowledging domestic violence and sexual assault as crimes, and provided federal resources to encourage community-coordinated responses to combating violence.

VAWA expired in 2011 and many hope it is swiftly reauthorized to ensure the continuation of these vital, lifesaving programs and laws.

But it isn’t just about battered woman, domestic violence also includes, elder abuse, dating violence, partner violence, sexual violence, senior and disabled abuse and affects not only the victim but those connected to them.

In a symbolic march, attendants walked from the center to the Bolingbrook Village Hall. This was a time for attendees to stand together and speak out against domestic violence, bringing awareness to the community it affects.

MIDWEST GENERATION Continued from page 1 complaint states that this is happening at the Will County Generating Station in Romeoville, the Joliet 29 Generating Station in Joliet, the Powerton Generating Station in Pekin and theWaukegan Generating Station.

According to a press release

by CARE, Midwest Generation’s coal-fired power plants generates coal ash pollution and other waste, which is dumped in large impoundments without adequate safeguards to prevent pollution from entering groundwater.

Company spokesperson Susan Olavarrio released this statement from Midwest Generation: “We have recently been served and are reviewing the complaint, but from what we have seen, it raises nothing new,” Olavarrio said. “We will be prepared to defend our operations vigorously against parties who have long sought any avenue to try to close down coal-fired power plants.”

Environmental Integrity Project Attorney Abel Russ argues that EIP’s investigation has documented hundreds of exceedances of federal and state drinking water standards.

“It’s very concerning when huge companies deny their contamination of air and groundwater but it’s unbelievable that Midwest Generation would not show concern or remorse when they sent a report to the EPA admitting their exceedances of toxic chemicals such as arsenic, selenium and boron etc, said CARE Director

5

Ellen Rendulich. “Many of the CARE members, like myself, live within a couple miles of Edison International’s Midwest Generation facilities. Not only are we breathing toxic air pollutants emitted by Midwest Generation but when we get a glass of water or take a shower we worry that it may contain poisonous chemicals like arsenic.

Midwest Generation must take responsibility to remediate the precious groundwater that they have contaminated.”

Midwest Generation was established in Illinois upon acquiring six coal-fired power plants in the state in 1999. It is a subsidiary of Edison Mission Group, which manages the competitive power generation business of Edison International.

According to an earlier press release from Midwest Generation, the company has invested continuously in additional pollution controls at its plants.

In late 2011, it has completed the installation of Selective NonCatalytic Reduction systems to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), which can contribute to the formation of smog. These new controls enabled Midwest Generation to comply with both State of Illinois and USEPA limits for NOx, which took place at the beginning of this year.

The company noted that as a result of this work, Midwest Generation will have reduced NOx emissions by 80 percent since 1999. The company also states that it has reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), which can contribute to acid rain, by nearly 40 percent since 1999.

Bugle Editorial

Speak out against domestic violence Imagine living in fear on a daily basis. Never knowing when one little word uttered or a wrong move is going to warrant a slap to the head or something worse. Imagine a child seeing that every day. Now imagine that child as an adult who has known nothing but violence in the home. Boyfriends hitting their high school girlfriends. Grown men attacking their wives.

Wives beating their husbands.

Parents hurting their children. It can become an all-too ordinary scenario that repeats itself.

But it should not be ordinary for anyone to stand by and watch. We all need to play a part in ending domestic violence, helping victims live without fear or being an advocate for those who cannot speak out for themselves.

Trapped in a twisted set of circumstances, victims feel isolated and without power.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, and the Drew Peterson case has recently reminded everyone living in the Chicago land area of the horrors

of domestic violence. Justice, most agree, was brought. But where is Stacy? What happened to Lisa Stebic? Questions about domestic violence are that much more troubling when you consider that more than half of all cases are never reported?

Northern Will County hosted its 14th annual Take Back the Night Rally, which encouraged survivors to speak out and encouraged others to come forward to stop the violence and shatter the silence. As a community, it becomes everyone’s responsibility to speak out. If we are asking the victims who are facing insurmountable fear to speak out, dig down and ask what you can do to help. If you see the signs, have the courage to speak out for that neighbor, for that child sitting in the classroom or for your friend’s high school daughter. Organizations like Bridges to a New Day, who provide counseling to families, with a goal to provide education and prevent family violence are struggling to find volunteers.

Illustrated Opinions

That’s why it’s important for everyone to find a platform or just be a friend.

It is equally important to speak out to you local leaders and legislators. In an election year tangled up with discourse surrounding the economy, Congress neglected to pass the Violence Against Women’s Act. VAWA expired in 2011 and must be swiftly reauthorized to ensure the continuation of these vital, lifesaving programs and laws.

Urge your member of Congress to prioritize post-election passage of a VAWA reauthorization bill that safely and effectively protects all victims. Take action by e-mailing, calling, tweeting, or telling members of Congress that is essential that a strong, bipartisan VAWA, that safely and effectively meets the needs of all victims, is promptly reauthorized after the elections.

While this month brings attention to the issue, remember those living a life of daily fear.

Do your part to empower both children and adults by speaking out.

This week, you could face projects that will require intense effort. Schedule some down time to rejuvenate and you’ll be ready for the heavy work as the workweek begins.

Don’t keep secrets.

Avoid unnecessary suspicions by being open and transparent in all your activities in the week to come. You can have it your way, but just remember that others need their way too.

Don’t stray off the charted course. All that’s going on around you may distract you from fulfilling your responsibilities. Stay focused. You may spend money foolishly this week and regret it later.

Recharge the batteries.

This week, you could face projects that will require intense effort. Schedule some down time to rejuvenate and you’ll be ready for the heavy work as the workweek begins.

Take things as they come. You don’t have to stick to the program. You’ll find that you derive the most satisfaction this week by acting spontaneously; enjoy whatever is started at the spur of the moment.

Rome wasn’t built in a day. While you may long for greatness in the week ahead, patience and hard work are required to make these dreams a reality. No one starts at the top; work your way upward.

Read between the lines.

The answers you seek are all right in front of you this week; it will be how you interpret them that makes all the difference. Make plans now and turn plans into reality later.

Go your own way.

Concentrate on doing what you want in the week to come and don’t let the needs of others derail your plans. It may sound selfish, but you please others best when you please yourself.

With age comes wisdom.

This week, what you may perceive to be criticism from an elder may actually be quite helpful. You can’t change certain situations, but you can change how you react to them.

Don’t answer questions that no one asked. You may consider yourself an authority on certain subjects, but that doesn’t mean you should always add your two cents during the upcoming week.

Say it like you mean it.

Don’t back down from convictions even when pressured to change your mind. In the week to come, you can enhance your reputation by being honest and sticking to principles.

Not every day has to be a march down the road to success.

Sometimes, it’s better just to kick back and enjoy the simpler things in life. Keep your schedule open for adventures in the week ahead.

Don’t let miscommunication lead you astray.

You may be perfectly clear about your intentions - but this week people might be listening to the tone you use rather than what you are actually saying.

Piatek ends career on high note

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Coming into her final sectional competition, Romeoville’s Agi Piatek hoped to make it to the third round of the Joliet Sectional.

Mission accomplished.

Piatek got a first round bye and then won her second match over Plainfield East in straight sets to advance to the third round, which is the state-qualifying match. However, that’s where her run ended to No. 2 seed Caitlin Shea of Joliet.

“My first match was a bye, so I was kind of depressed,” Piatek said. “The second round I played a girl for the second time and I beat her the first time. She had better hits this time. (Against Shea) I just had to walk in there with pride and walk out with pride. You can’t put your head down. You either have it or you don’t.”

“I’m very proud of Agi and pleased with how she played today,” Romeoville coach George Joyce said. “She had an opportunity to win her first match and took advantage of a match that she was supposed to win. That got us a couple See NOTE, page 18

Flyers defeat N. Michigan The Lewis University women’s volleyball team came from two sets down to defeat Northern Michigan, 3-2, (19-25, 18-25, 25-18, 25-23, 15-12) on Saturday (Oct. 13) at the 2012 GLVC/GLIAC Crossover Tournament at the Great Lakes Center.

The Flyers improve to 13-8 on the season while the Huskies fall to 13-9.

“This whole weekend we started off slow, it took until the match is on the line for them to play a little harder,” Lewis head women’s volleyball coach Lorelee Smith said. “They have it in them to win, what motivates them to go harder, I haven’t quite figured that out.”

Senior Jen Krumwiede (Elkhart, Ind./Elkhart Memorial) led the Flyers with 23 digs and 15 kills while fellow senior Colleen Mitros (Mokena, Ill./Providence Catholic) had 13 digs and 12 kills.

Sophomore setter Leigh Barea (Battle Creek, Mich./Harper Creek) had 40 assists, six digs and one kill.

“I told them that everthing they were doing, how hard they were going was working and that they couldn’t lose sight of that,” Smith said.

Carly Perschnick (Dwight, Ill./ Dwight Township) had 11 kills, as Amy Choi (Vernon Hill, Ill./ Vernon Hills) and Mary Carroll (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central) had 10 and 12 digs, respectively, rotating as defensive specialists and liberos for the Flyers.

WOMEN’S GOLF The Lewis University women’s golf team finished fourth (670) in the Oak Terrace Fall Invitational, hosted by University of MissouriSt. Louis at Oak Terrace Resort on Sunday (Oct. 14).

Senior Vanessa Phillips (Metamora, Ill./Metamora Township) finished the tournament with a second day 81, while freshman Alexandra O’Laughlin (Arvada, Colo./ Ralston) turned in an 83.

Breanne Fredette (Winnipeg, Manitoba/Balmoral) shot an 85, while Carly Shapiro (Lockport, Ill./Lockport Township) finished

with an 89. Nicole Tucker (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Preparatory) rounded out the squad with a 93.

WOMEN’S SOCCER After an hour and twenty five minute weather delay, the Lewis University women’s soccer team battled through rain and strong winds to defeat University of Illinois-Springfield,1-0,on Sunday (Oct. 14) at Lewis Stadium.

The Flyers improve to 8-5-1 on the season and 6-5-1 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play.The Prairie Stars fall to 3-10-1, 2-10 in GLVC play.

“It was a difficult environment to play in,” Lewis head women’s soccer coach Chris Koenig said.

“These winds really had an impact on the game, even after the delay.”

Freshman Lauren Grady (Algonquin, Ill./Jacobs) came off the bench to score the game’s only goal in the 36th minute.

Senior Aly Lansky (Osewgo, Ill./ Oswego East) crossed a pass from the far corner right to Grady, who was in the middle of the box, to put it by UIS’ goalkeeper Paige Polonus.

The Flyers out shot the Prairie Stars, 11-3. Lewis goalkeeper Arianna Nie (Mokena, Ill./ Lincoln-Way East) recorded a shutout without facing a shot on goal from UIS. “I thought the girls did a great job of managing the elements,” Koenig said. “In the second half, going against the wind, the team did a pretty nice job holding the ball and creating some chances to score.”

MEN’S SOCCER Lewis University men’s soccer sophomore George Thomson (Kilmarnock, Scotland/Reid Kerr College) scored two goals to help the Flyers past the Univeristy of Illinois-Springfield Prairie Stars, 2-1, in overtime on Sunday (Oct. 14).

Sopczak battles through rain

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Senior Josh Sopczak wasn’t feeling well for the previous week heading into Saturday’s Southwest Prairie Conference meet at Plainfield Central.

One would thing that a steady rain would have made him feel worse.

However, Sopczak responded with a strong performance, finishing 34th with a time of 17:20.46.

“It was actually really nice,” Sopczak said. “We ran here earlier in the year and it actually was the same way. It was rainy and cold. But I haven’t felt this good in a race in a really long time. I was sick this week and missed practice, but I ran really well. I just felt really good running. I know I passed up eight or nine people.”

Looking back, taking those few days off could have been a benefit for the senior.

“I think the rest kind of helped,” Sopczak said. “I didn’t race last weekend because I was sick and felt terrible all week. Today I just felt amazing.

I felt like I ran great.”

“Maybe taking a couple days off and healing up (helped),” Romeoville coach Rick Dellamorte said. “He works hard in practice. It may have done him some good. Hopefully he’s more healthy for regionals

because I would like to see him and a couple other guys qualify for sectionals.”

Other scorers for Romeoville were Jonathan Kosiek (18:15.64), Evan Banasiak (18:34.55), Adam Irvine (18:42.28) and Christian Baez (19:03.57).

“The varsity guys did the best they could,” Dellamorte said.

“Our conference has some stiff competition.

“We’re looking at getting our times as low as possible before regionals and then hopefully making a statement at regionals.”

With a lot of youths on the roster, the team has looked up to Sopczak to help out the youngsters, and Sopczak has enjoyed the role.

“The varsity guys always come out and try to do their best,” Sopczak said. “A lot of them aren’t really runners. I think it’s great that they are out here running. They look up to me and it’s nice because it gives you something to push for.”

“Josh is our only four-year cross country runner on our team,” Dellamorte said. “He knows the system and what to expect. He definitely steps up and gives them advice and makes sure they work hard.”

On the frosh-soph side, sophomore Mike Samuelson took home first place with a time of 16:43.67. staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Spartans fight to solid SPC finish

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Romeoville overcame a downpour to post solid marks Saturday at the Southwest Prairie Conference meet at Plainfield Central.

“The girls did well,”Romeoville coach Rachel Dieter said. “We had a goal for the girls to run their personal bests today and many of them did that. That’s what we were looking to do and they accomplished that.”

While the course was made slippery and muddy with the steady rain, it was no excuse for the Spartans.

“The rain is the same rain that everyone else is running in,” Dieter stated. “There is no difference from one team to the next. It’s definitely a mental thing, but our girls are tough enough to pull through it and they did.”

Leading the way was Jessica Cukier, who ran the course in 21:31.9, good for 44th.

“Jessica Cukier really hung in there with the lead group for as long as she could,” Dieter

said. “That showed in her time today.”

“The rain helped a little bit,” Cukier said. “It felt good. I just pushed myself through it. I really tried to stay with the pack. It’s definitely easier to run in the rain than in the heat.

“The traction was pretty good. My goal was to P.R. and hopefully I did that. I tried my best to keep pace with the fast pack.”

Other scorers for the Spartans were Sierra Scanlan (22:27.85), Caitlyn Vodicka (23:25.12), Samantha Pagan (23:31.71) and Mayra Moreno (24:15.78).

Monica Diaz led the freshsophs with a time of 23:23.59.

“Monica Diaz really stepped it up,” Dieter said.“The past two weeks she has really stepped it up and has been running her best.”

Romeoville now travels to Lockport for regional competition at Dellwood Park.

“Next week we’re looking to do the same thing as this week,” Dieter said. “We want to run See SOLID, page 18

“Playing in 30-40 mile per hour wind evens up the game.”

The Spartans will miss the leadership brought by Piatek, but she and Joyce hope the remaining girls will continue the trend of hard work.

She brought a lot to the team and was a very versatile player. We’re certainly going to miss her a lot.”

“Every day they have to pick up their racket,” Piatek said. “I hope they can learn (from my

That is a good motto for a generally very young squad in 2012.

“We had a young team,” Joyce said. “We had three or four sophomores on the varsity level and another two juniors, so someone is going to have to step up and fill those shoes. We’ll see what next year holds.”

Wildcats lock up playoff spot

By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

With a dominating performance, Plainfield Central is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2008 with a 28-0 win over Plainfield East.

The Wildcats (6-2 overall, 4-2 in Southwest Prairie Conference) also clinched a second-straight winning season.

“We’re really excited,” Central defensive tackle Bryce Douglas said. “It’s great to end it with a shutout. Now we have two more (games) guaranteed.We’re focused on finishing off the season tough and gaining some momentum into the playoffs.”

“Seeing that none of us have been to the playoffs, it’s pretty exciting,” Central running back Jordan Ellingwood said. “We have to use it to our advantage.”

Central jumped out early on the host Bengals (2-6, 2-4) after stopping them on a fourth-andone on the opening possession.

The Wildcats came back down the field and scored on a 9-yard run by Ellingwood for a 7-0 lead.

“It all started on the first series when they went for it on fourthand-one and the defense made the stop,” Douglas said. “We couldn’t let them get the momentum going.

We stopped them and that was all the momentum we needed.”

“When we came out, we came out full go,” Ellingwood added.

“We wanted to ram it down their throat because they were talking all this mess during the week. We just wanted to prove our point.”

East fumbled on the ensuing possession and Central capitalized with a Douglas 1-yard plunge for a 14-0 lead.The score would remain

the same heading into the half.

“It was nice,” Douglas said.

“There was no way I wasn’t getting in there. I was thinking playoffs the whole time.”

The Bengals drove the ball back into Central territory, but missed on a fourth-and-eight from the 28. That helped lead to a 45 yard touchdown run by Ellingwood midway through the third quarter for a 21-0 lead.

“I was pretty excited,” Ellingwood said. “Everyone was pretty excited. Then our defense came out and just blew up everybody.They made some great plays.”

Central finished off the scoring later in the quarter on a 1-yard run

by Mike Smiles.

“Central is a good team,” Romeli said.“They played well tonight and they have a really good defense.

Douglas is a great player and their linebackers played well as well.

“Our defense has played well all year. It’s just that we can’t get anything going on offense. It isn’t just one thing; it’s a multitude of things.”

The Wildcats finish the season at Oswego (7-1, 5-1).

“We’re going to have a tough week of practice,” Douglas said.

“We know we are the underdogs and we like being the underdogs.

We just need to come out with the W and get momentum into the playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Bengals will look to conclude their season on a winning mark with a trip to Plainfield South (3-5, 2-4).

“Anytime you play a Plainfield school, it’s a big game,” Romeli said.“We’re going to come out and play hard.” staylor@enterprisepublications.com

Real Estate & Business

Choose power, not pity in uncertain times Q. The past year has been nothing but drama. There has been a huge amount of turnover, unexpected changes, and demanding projects. Everyone in the company is constantly making things worse by complaining about how unfair it all is. Is there a way to get my team to focus more on fixing problems than whining about their circumstances?

A. Yes, as the world moves faster and work becomes less predictable, the level of stress is going through the roof.You can get people to focus on problem solving if you understand better how people respond to unpredictable and unrelenting stress.

Many people define relationships as a conversation in which each party complains about problems, each party

feels sorry for the other party, and both parties walk away feeling validated in their powerlessness.

People don’t generally change their idea of what relationships should be just because they are now at work.

When people show up at the office, their personal relationships have trained them to expect they can vent, get pity and trudge down their road of life feeling sorry for themselves.

Once in a rare while someone may have the audacity to suggest that they may have to change what they are doing to get better results. Most people trip over this kind of knowledge,

dust themselves off, and try to hurry along quickly before they have to take responsibility for changing. Human beings are more comfortable feeling powerless than dealing with the anxiety that comes up when they consider taking the risk to change what makes them miserable.

Now that you understand the tradeoff between misery/powerlessness and effectiveness/power, you’ll be able to present your team with two choices:They can continue to be victims of forces they cannot control. They will be miserable but won’t have to take any risks or responsibility. They will also get lots of sympathy for their tough circumstances.

Or they can use their misery as an impetus to take risks. They may fail, look foolish or try multiple options that still don’t

work, but eventually they’ll fix a problem that bugs them.

We all enjoy luxuriating in the pity and sympathy of others when we are unhappy.

Unfortunately, if we allow selfpity to become a permanent resting place rather than a pit stop, we prevent ourselves from getting what we want.

People who have good work lives, after all, don’t get much pity.

On a bad day, we can all get tangled up in the drama and emotional intensity of our problems. On a good day, it may occur to us that each day we are presented with problems that need to be solved. Getting stuck in venting for long periods about our victimhood means all our energy goes into how powerless we feel rather than how powerful we could be.

Next time you think your

workplace is falling apart, try saying to yourself with a deep breath, “This is simply a problem to be solved,” and watch yourself settle down.

Your team will watch you and learn that settling for pity is literally a consolation prize and that power is the brass ring they can reach for.

Your budget can do without eating out Dear Dave, When it comes to taking control of your money and living on a budget, what’s the biggest thing a family can live without?

Will Dear Will, There are always the shiny things people can do without.

Sometimes people sell a fancy car or boat and get rid of a $600-a-month payment right off the bat. But on a regular, day-to-day basis, I think maybe the biggest and best thing you can amputate from your life is eating out.

I love a good restaurant, and I’ve got nothing against the industry. The problem, though, is that people are struggling to pay their bills or set aside something for retirement

b e c a u s e they’re eating out all the time.

Most folks simply don’t realize how much money they throw away by heading to the drivethrough for lunch or going out to dinner “once in a while.”

I want people to enjoy life, and a great part of that can be going out and having a meal with your family and friends. Just don’t do it when you’re broke. If you’re having financial issues, the only time you should see the inside of a restaurant is if you’re working there!

—Dave

Payoff debt vs. down payment Dear Dave, We’re expecting our second child next spring, and even though we have an extra bedroom, our place is pretty small for a growing family. We also have $40,000 in student loan debt hanging over our heads, but we can save up almost $50,000 by the time the baby’s here. Should we use this money to buy a bigger home or pay off debt?

Chris Dear Chris, If it were me, I’d make sure to knock out the student loan before buying a house. Trust me, if you buy a home with a ton of debt hanging over your heads, Murphy will move into

your spare bedroom and make your lives miserable. If it can happen, it will happen.And that’s especially true when it comes to buying a house when you don’t have much cash on hand.

You’re telling me you can save nearly $50,000 by next year. That means you guys are making pretty good money. So there’s no reason you can’t turn around and do the same thing next year, right? I mean, this is only a one- or two-year program we’re talking about. In another year’s time, you could save up for a huge down payment with some extra savings on the side.

If you waited and saved for two years, there’s a possibility you could pay cash for a bigger place outright. Imagine how cool it would be to have your own home with no mortgage payments!

Just clean up the extra bedroom and fix it up as a nice nursery. Some new carpet or hardwood is always nice.

Throw in a fresh coat of paint, and you’re in business. Then, a year or two after the new baby arrives, you’ll be ready to move from a financial and a family perspective. A baby can live just fine in a small bedroom.

There’s nothing in the world wrong with that!

Seniors

Falling can be prevented

By Nikki Rivera Physical Therapist

You have all heard the commercial, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up,” but have you thought about the severity of this issue? Well, you should.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading cause of accidental deaths in older adults. Twenty to 30 percent of people over the age of 65 and 50 percent of those over the age of 80 fall each year. Half of falls happen at home. Of those who fall, 20 to 30 percent suffer moderate to severe injuries and are hospitalized. Ninety-five percent of hip fractures are caused by falls.

In 2010, 2.3 million older adults were treated for injuries related to falls, and medical costs for falls rose to $30 billion. This contributes to the fear of falling many seniors have. This fear alone can lead

to increased risks for falls by limiting a person’s mobility, and decreasing their strength and function. The good news is that falls can be prevented.

Employing several strategies can help you prevent falls: Begin a regular exercise program to increase your physical activity.

Talk to your doctor about your health concerns and review your medications. Many medications can make you sleepy, dizzy or weak which may cause you to fall.

Get your vision checked each year. Poor vision or change in your eye health could increase your chances of falling.

Improve the safety of your home. Remove things you can trip over, install grab bars in the bathroom, have nightlights in your hallways and bedrooms.

Older adults should be screened once a year for fall risk and prevention. Concerns

about a decline in function, frequent falls or near falls, and change in walking ability are important and should be addressed by your doctor or physical therapist.

Physical therapists are trained to deal with patients who have balance problems or who are at risk for falling. Physical therapists can perform specialized balance and strength assessments which help them to determine appropriate and safe programs for individuals to decrease their risk of falling.

It is time to take this issue seriously and work toward preventing yourself, family and friends from falling.

Nikki Rivera, P.T., B.S, O.C.S is a licensed physical therapist with over 18 years experience. She is an orthopaedic certified specialist who also focuses on treatment of balance and gait disorders.

She works at Newsome Physical Therapy Center in Romeoville, IL.
