RETIREMENT AND TAXES When you retire - either by choice or not - there are a lot of tax decisions to make. Some important questions to consider are: How much money do I need to retire? When can I take Social Security – and what are the tax consequences? Should I rollover my 401K and how do I know what is the correct amount to rollover? When must I start withdrawing from my IRA and how does it work? How do I plan for taxes when I retire withholding vs. estimated taxes? What about medical insurance and expenses when I retire?
You should not wait until the last minute - especially since the paperwork from your company is overwhelming and often confusing. STRAUSS TAX SERVICE can check your currently retirement plan including 401K and Social Security. We can answer your questions and help you see how taxes in retirement will impact you. We are located at 624 62nd Street, Downers Grove and we are open from 9AM - 5PM, M- F or by appointment.

DARIEN – While District 82 Board of Education members met in closed session Monday at Hinsdale South High School, a group of protesters picketed in a school parking lot to show their dissatisfaction with the direction of the district. “This is a collective visual that we’re outraged by their actions,” resident Sue Pircon said. More than 50 people – all community members, students and parents – stood in opposition of the board, holding signs that read, “86 The BOE Majority Keep Excellence in Our Schools.” Among their complaints, the group that refers to themselves as “Supporters of District 86” feels the school board has excessively spent on recruiting firms, consultants, audits and lawyers. The group also disagrees with the board’s recently instituted policy that allows members access to confidential student records.
Latest board offer raises teacher salaries By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com
Zachary White - zwhite@shawmedia.com
Hinsdale South High School seniors Joe Eilbert, Petar Cirjakovic, Charlie Allen and sophomore Alek Cirjakovic sit on a dividing wall Monday during the protest against the District 86 school board. Additionally, they claim actions of the board contributed to the loss of an egregious amount of teachers and staff. “Now two-thirds of their new hires have zero to one year experience,” protester Joan Gundlach Brandeis said. “That means these are recent grads coming in to teach AP English, or AP psych or AP biology to 18-year-olds.” District 86 School board Pres-
ident Richard Skoda said even though the replacement teachers may be young, they are more than qualified for their jobs. The group said there have been 52 teacher resignations since the past board election. The school board also denied 52 teachers resigned, stating only 10 have left. The protesters attended the board meeting once it opened to the public.
DARIEN – The Hinsdale High School District 86 School Board made another formal contract offer to the Hinsdale High School Teachers Association on Monday in a move to reach a new agreement before classes resume today. The offer on the table raise the average teacher base salary 2.8 percent the first year of the contract. The previous offer from the board includes 1.7 percent raises for the first year of the contract. After year one, teachers’ raises will be adjusted annually based on the consumer price index.

During Monday’s meeting at Hinsdale South High School, board president Richard Skoda said the new offer also requires teachers to pay 15 percent of their health care costs in the first year of the new contract, up from 12 percent in the previous contract. By year four, teachers would be paying 20 percent of health case costs, according to Skoda. Also, teachers will still have their pensions compounded by 3 percent annually following retirement, Skoda said. Currently there are no mediation meetings scheduled between the two sides until after school starts. “But the board is willing and able to meet, especially quickly, when the association has a counter to what we have on the table,” he said. However, the board stood firm on the fact that 6 percent

salary bumps during the last four years of a teacher’s employment, aimed to maximize pensions, would not be part of the deal. The board also approved an advisory referendum that could be placed on the Nov. 4 ballot, which would ask voters if they favor the 6 percent salary bumps for the last four years of a teachers career. The school board voted 4-3 to put the advisory referendum on the November ballot, but the referendum is not binding. Along with Skoda, board members Claudia Manley, Victor Casini and Ed Corcoran, who teleconferenced into the meeting, voted in favor of the referendum. Teachers union spokesman Mike Palmquist could not be reached for comment. The teachers previously released a statement explaining their intent to work in the schools on the first day of school; however, the teachers have retained their right to strike after the school year starts.

D-86 custodians fear job security, work to unionize By ZACHARY WHITE
HSL Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Friday, August 22, 2014 • DSL
zwhite@shawmedia.com DARIEN – Building and grounds workers at Hinsdale South and Hinsdale Central are in the process of unionizing, as they feel their jobs may be at stake. “This past week in retaliation for the organization of our union, the district administration has forbidden the use of any overtime at the south campus and cites our overtime a major district expense,” spokesman Tony Malone said. District 86 superintendent Bruce Law admitted there is a cutback on overtime in order to save money but said the move is not retaliatory. Law added Malone is exaggerating and not all overtime has been cut. “We’re trying to control those costs, but it’s not to say we don’t pay overtime when it’s not warranted,” Law said. However, Malone believes the reason custodians have
to go on overtime is because of unfilled buildings-andgrounds- staff jobs and meetings, athletics and events do not always run on time. As a result, custodians often work 16-hour days, seven days a week, according to Malone. He also pointed out that in the past school year, three workers have left the district and none of their jobs are being replaced. Although Milone claims the district intended to start filling the three positions with workers from GCA Services Group, board president Richard Skoda said outsourcing maintenance jobs has never been discussed in public or private meetings. District 86 Chief Financial Officer Bill Eagan said that GCA has been used to backfill empty positions, but they are not going to replace the entire custodial staff. “They were not on the docket by any means to be outsourced,” Eagan said. “I don’t know where that rumor came from.”

Vistro manager Bill Anderson works on his computer at the bar. Anderson aims to bring a children’s drink menu to the restaurant.
Vistro to open doors before Labor Day By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Owners Glen Gardner and Paul Virant believe a kid-friendly atmosphere and an expansive, all-inclusive menu will make Vistro a go-to spot for local families. When concocting the Vistro menu, chef and restaurateur Virant – known for upscale establishments Vie in Western Springs and Perennial Virant in Chicago – sought a truly casual dining experience. The result is a wide array of expertly crafted children’s beverages and a rotating dining menu offering anything from Thai curry to soft-serve ice cream. Partnering with Gardner, who will handle the finances and business operations, the duo is set to open Vistro before Labor Day – although a specific date has not been selected – and hopes to immediately ca-

To do so, they’ve incorporated a bar and lounge for the sports fan, an adjacent area for family seating and an 80-seat dining area. “Let’s say a family wants to come out and the kids are anxious and all over the place and the mom’s trying to manage,” Gardner said. “Dad can still help out with that and catch the score of the game at the same time.” Virant explained the menu also will cater to the needs of families looking to get out of the house for a meal. “We’re going to have prob-
ably a weekly changing prefix menu that will truly be served family style,” he said. To help run the show, the owners have brought in familiar bar manager Bill Anderson, who previously worked for Virant at Vie and earned national recognition while doing so. “Some of [Anderson’s] accolades are Chicago’s Zagat’s 30-under-30 people to watch in the industry and on a national level, 40-under-40 people to watch in the industry,” Gardner said. What Anderson brings to the table is a new spin on what children’s drinks look like. He wants to create a beverage menu specifically for children so that they’re not limited to ordering a fountain drink. “Hopefully it gets little Timmy and Sally to not just be downing soda after soda,” he said “It’ll engage them, and if pacified, have them be includ-
ed in the meal as well. They have this similar looking beverage to mom and dad so they feel like a big kid.” Virant also is excited about their soft serve machine that will that will add some pizzazz to the dessert menu. Additionally, the restaurant will use a wood-burning oven to cook everything from pizza to fish. Sous-chef Vinny Gerace said all of the options are part of Virant’s overall vision. “We kind of want to serve all the foods you can find in any bistro around the world – it’s all good,” he said, echoing the restaurant’s slogan. Gardner said the “all good” tagline has a dual meaning, one that goes further than just the quality of the food. “So ‘It’s all good’ could be literal – it’s good – or it could be figurative,” he said. “You know, it’s all good. Take a load off. Sit down.”
HINSDALE – Normandy Remodeling will host a seminar to help home owners increase their curb appeal from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sept. 6 at their showroom, 440 E.

D-181 gearing up for the new school year Welcome to the new school year! Summer is winding down and preparation has ramped up for our students’ return Aug. 25. As educators, we feel a sense of excitement similar to what our students feel at this time of year. As they are picking out school supplies and loading up backpacks, we are organizing our offices and prepping our classrooms. As they are planning their COMMUNITY route to school and finishing VOICE summer reading, we are Don finishing summer professional White development. And as they are getting excited about seeing friends again, we are getting excited about seeing the students and our colleagues. I remember well the anticipation of that first day back; we are privileged to be the smiling faces to greet your children as they come through the doors of their District 181 school. I hope you had an opportunity for fun and relaxation this summer. Personally, the highlight of summer was the birth of my second grandchild. I also enjoyed a performance by our summer theater camp participants and our administrative team retreat. I have truly appreciated the conversations with community leaders and stakeholders, as well. I invite you to read the “Summer Snapshots” publication in our website news section for more information about the work we have been completing throughout the district this summer. I am now looking forward to the opportunities to refine our common vision, clarify the path to get our district there, and more fully define the roles we will play in making that vision a reality. Knowing that 2014-15 is going to be centered on clarity of vision, I see a parallel to the Wizard of Oz and the path to the Emerald City. If we all know where the yellow brick road is leading, and we have our community’s support, nothing can impede our success. I look forward to walking this journey with you. I invite you to connect with District 181 this year. You can follow us on Twitter @CCSD181. You can sign up for our e-newsletter by emailing our Director of Communications at bmcguiggan@d181.org. You can call our Administration Center at 630-861-4900 if you have a question or idea. You are also welcomed to attend public events at our neighborhood schools such as concerts and plays. Our District 181 schools enjoy opportunities to reach out to the community, as well. Whether through service projects for local organizations, our District 181 Foundation’s business partnerships, or participation in events such as the Rotary Run, we value a strong partnership with our community. Thank you for your support!

Thumbs up to all who participated in the inaugural Clarendon Hills Cardboard Boat Regatta on Aug. 9. The event – which featured children creating boats entirely out of cardboard and duct tape, then sailing the vessels in Lyons Park Pool – was deemed a splash hit by the park district. Thumbs up and a welcome back to all the District 181 and District 86 students. Hopefully, you all had a relaxing and fun-filled summer vacation and are ready for the new school year. We are looking forward to another action-packed academic calendar filled with football games, school plays, spelling bees and commencement ceremonies. Good luck in the new year!

Looting is for thugs What is happening in Ferguson, Mo., is no excuse for the looting and destroying of the businesses and city. Any excuse to loot, burn down the city is just a thug’s way and very shameful. I am a handicapped senior in Downers Grove and frequently use the Woodridge post office. This is another facility that does not have an automatic door. I walk with a cane and trying to juggle a cane, my purse and packages is a challenge when a post office does not have an automatic door. I think all places of business should be required to have automatic doors.
Stormwater questions In regards to Westmont’s stormwater retention problem, will everyone benefit from this endeavor? Having had problems with stormwater getting in the sanitary sewers, which backed up in my house, I am wondering if this would take care of that. Years ago, we had the sanitary people inspect the sewer in the alley and was told it was old, antiquated system made of bricks, but nothing was done about it. Would like to know.

Keep dogs in your yard No, it is not a fact of life that dogs must be walked, and you’re not irresponsible if you keep your dog in your own yard.

Save the coyotes I’m commenting on “No right to hurt coyotes.” I agree. We are a nation that needs a four-bedroom house when only two people are living in it. And because of that, we have taken away natural habitat for our native animals. They are only trying to survive. Stop leaving easy food available, and they’ll stay out of your area. Thank you.
Keep Metra stations open I hear Metra is considering raising ticket prices again. It’s a travesty how they have their train stations closed and doors locked from 1 o’clock in the afternoon forward. If vandalism is the excuse, that is no excuse. Hire someone, a rent-a-cop or something. Those stations need to stay open to keep their patrons safe from the elements.

DuPage County Clerk candidate Jean Kaczmarek brought a great idea to the DuPage County Board when they were renewing contracts for lobbyists. She said DuPage should mandate that reporting requirements for lobbyists be broadened and that this information should be placed online – the way it’s done in Cook County. Five years ago, the Cook County Board unanimously passed the Lobbyist Sunshine Initiative which mandates all lobbyists to report who they’re lobbying, what they’re lobbying, dates of contact, all compensation and any expenditures. All this information, including their photos, is posted on Lobbyists Online. Through a public portal, taxpayers, the media and elected officials can check out what lobbyists are doing. It’s been working great in Cook County. Why not here?

Physical Exam?
HINSDALE – Former Hinsdale Middle School assistant principal Martha Henrikson recently was named the Oak Elementary School principal. Henrikson started work Saturday after being selected for the position, and final approval is Monday at the district’s next board meeting. “After the comprehensive review of all applicants and conversations with all who participated in the interview process, it is clear that Dr. Martha Henrikson is a great match for Oak School,” Superintendent Don White said. “She demonstrates a passion for providing servant leadership to all students, parents and employees at Oak, and she also possesses an extremely strong skill set as an instructional leader.” The principal position became available in the spring after Sean Walsh was appointed District 181 director of learning. He had served nine years as Oak Elementary principal. White said the process to fill the vacancy took several months because he wanted to get the best possible person to take over the school. “[It was a] broad reaching
process to make sure we got the best candidate,” he said. More than 50 people applied for the position, and district officials then narrowed the pool to 15 applicants before interviewing five final candidates. Final interviews were conducted Aug. 13 at Oak School by staff and teachers. After being named the new Oak School principal, Henrikson said she is looking forward to the upcoming school year. “I am thrilled to become Oak School’s next principal,” she said. “It is an honor to follow Mr. Walsh in this position. Oak is a wonderful school community, with parents and staff members working together to provide a great education for students.” Prior to working as assistant principal at Hinsdale Middle School, Henrikson taught orchestra and general music for 17 years at varying elementary and middle schools. She also taught college courses for three years. Henrikson received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Indiana University, and she earned a doctorate from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. District 181 has not yet named a new Hinsdale Middle School assistant principal.

HINSDALE – District 181 will be testing two security systems this fall in order to further building safety. Prospect School will be trying out the Hall Pass system, which scans visitors’ state ID or drivers license, verifying their information against the sex offender registry and other state databases, District 181 Director of Communication Bridget McGuiggan said. The system will cost around $1,400. Oak School and the district’s administrative building is installing a $22,000 key fob system that will replace regular locks and keys. Both systems are being paid for with money from a $96,000 Illinois School and Campus Safety Grant, according to McGuiggan. After installation, the Hall Pass system and key fobs will then be tried out for several months before the district determines whether to keep them or not. District 181 Superinten-
dent Don White said the Hall Pass system currently is used in his former Plainfield district, Troy School District 30C, and has enhanced security throughout the buildings. “I think [security is] extremely important considering all the events we’ve had across the nation,” he said. McGuiggan said the Hall Pass system should be fully functional by the beginning of the school year. Key fob installation will take longer, though, as the current system of locks and keys need to be removed. McGuiggan expects the fob overhaul to be complete in October. McGuiggan said the system can be set up so certain employees only are allowed to swipe into the building when they’re supposed to be there. During emergencies, police and fire departments already will be able to freely access the buildings. “We want to create a culture of security,” she said. McGuiggan expects a final a final decision on the security systems to come around winter break.

“We are on the cusp of not just breaking ground but blazing a trail,” department board President Linda Kurzawa said. “[The center] will be a collaborative effort, broadening the services that we do out into the community.” The project, located at 111 N. County Farm Road, is seven years in the making and will be funded almost completely by department savings, Director Karen Ayala said. Partner organization National Alliance on Mental Illness of DuPage County provided $1 million as a sort of “buy-in” to the shared space, alliance Executive Director Angela Adkins said. The goal of the center is to provide holistic support for those using its services – the demand for which has risen in recent years, Ayala said. “The building is being built with cash – cash that we have prudently saved, struggled [for], always with the thought in mind that there

are citizens to be served and it is the taxpayers of DuPage County that provide that,” Kurzawa said. Set to open next fall, the space will include a gym, courtyard, kitchen, multipurpose space and offices for the department and the alliance. DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said the idea of consolidating and streamlining services between public and private entities was not new to the county and the partnerships forged would “share our goal of wellness for all.” Adkins said the new facility would help participating agencies improve care, particularly in the world of mental health where “medicine and therapy ... doesn’t do it on its own.” She said five years ago, her agency was seeking to expand services to better fit the needs of its population, especially in the realms of housing, employment and social programs. When she conversationally mentioned that desire to the health department, it became a natural partnership. “Social recreation is really going to be where the health department services sort of start to taper off and ours will pick up,” Adkins said. “It’s a complete flow – we anticipate this building will be operational 24/7.” She said by partnering with groups such as the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association, Wheaton Park District and Bridge Communities, the center could synergize several resources to help to those with different levels of need. Ultimately, Adkins said, she hopes its presence in the community will bring volunteers to assist with programming and normalize mental illness. “We’ll go to the community for artists and different community members who have something to offer,” she said. “We’re going to reach out to the community at large ... which ultimately will really heighten the awareness and lessen the stigma. And that’s really what we want to do.”

Rev3 looking to grow By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com

After more than a year of planning, development and support building, the first tenants of the Rev3 Innovation Hub are nearing a move-in date. Rev3 is the brainchild of Choose DuPage, an organization devoted to driving economic development in the county. Its creators aim to foster growth in up-and-coming industries. Choose DuPage Business Services Director Nicholas Zito said manufacturing and technology are industries in which companies generate jobs beyond their organizations. “For every dollar you invest in manufacturing, you get many more back in other areas,” he said. “They are both leading and emerging sectors.” Three weeks ago, Rev3 signed a lease to rent offices, conference rooms and open space at Northern Illinois University’s Naperville campus, 1120 E. Diehl Road. Zito said it will offer an array of options, including shared common areas and computer labs, conference rooms, private offices, a shipping facility and a manufacturing lab with a 3-D printer. These amenities are intended to help businesses too small to warrant a large space and the enormous startup costs of manufacturing a prototype that still need a base of operations. “We have everyone from a true ideation stage, meaning they have a great idea on the back of a napkin that they think will be great that they need to see 3-D printed, all the way up to the midlevel, established businesses,” he said. The first seven member entrepreneurs – a mix of software developers, e-commerce developers, intellectual property attorneys and manufacturers – will move into the space in early September. They and the others that come after will shape Rev3’s offerings, Zito said. The hub’s organizers are already looking at creating a digital media studio with editing software and a green screen based on requests from the starting team. All these efforts are expended to foster an environment of collaboration and innovation that will benefit DuPage County manufacturing. Rev3 will host a series of rotating mentors who will have office hours in the

building to serve as a resource for the up-and-coming businesses on how to develop and market their products and services. “We want to help establish supply here, hire people in the county and form partnerships with big companies,” Zito said. “These businesses will be fostered here and hopefully grow and stay here.” Participating companies will pay month to month to use the facility, with options for discounted fees for longer leases, he said. Access ranges from using the co-working space – including conference rooms and other shared areas – at $150 per month up to a full office rental for $900 to $1,000 per month. Those who need the manufacturing lab can pay $250 to $300 per month, pending its implementation in January. Rev3’s spaces would be open 24 hours a day to cater to those working on startups alongside other responsibilities. Zito said the hub’s creators hope to have as many as 350 members using its variety of services throughout the day. “Our overall goal is not to just keep them and have them in our space forever,” said intern Nicholas Kavanau. “Our goal is to provide the companies what they need to move on. As much as we like to have them, we want to make companies that will go out into DuPage County. We want to give them what they need with a lower overhead cost to form their company and graduate them on.” Zito said his history as a business owner has prepared him for the work he plans to do with Rev3. “I am very excited to be an entrepreneur for entrepreneurs,” he said. “I know from personal experience about all the help and guidance that I needed but didn’t have access to when I started my company. Sometimes we’re so focused on getting our product to market and all the other auxiliary things fall to the wayside. So a collaborative environment is 100 percent what it comes down to.”

Indian Chinese cuisine goes back over 100 years when people of Chinese origin moved to India across the North East Border and settled in Calcutta. Most of these immigrants were of Hakka ancestry. Over the years they adapted the Chinese cuisine for the locale Indian seasoning and cooking techniques. This is how Indian Chinese fusion began.

Restaurant reviews
Standard Market Grill a pleasant, uncommon find WESTMONT – We’ve always been told it’s a bad idea to go grocery shopping when hungry, but at Standard Market, that’s precisely the right time. Tucked away inside the upscale grocery store sits the Standard Market Grill, offering its customers a casual yet delicious dining experience. The spacious room’s sophisticated decor provides a dramatic setting for the madefresh-to-order cuisine. The dishes are sourced from the gourmet market’s fresh produce, seafood, in-house-aged meats, craft beer and wine. Cocktails also are served. And overseeing the menu is the same chef’s team behind the market’s sister enterprise, the elegant Bakersfield restaurant across the street. At the Standard Market Grill walk-up counter, guests are greeted by two cashiers. After ordering your dish of choice, you have the option to sit wherever you please. Open daily, the restaurant offers seating at large booths and high-top tables, along with an outdoor patio – my favorite. The patio, where my companion and I chose to dine, is staged with large wooden tables, matching chairs and umbrellas fitted with heating lamps. It set the perfect summer night mood for a tasty meal, and before we knew it, a waiter sporting a red polo was placing two large plates on our table. Although Standard Market Grill offers a variety of soups, dinner entrees (N.Y. strip steak and Duroc pork chop), fresh-ground burgers, pizzas and salads (seared tuna Cobb), it was the sandwich selection that caught both my and my

More photos online To see more photos from Standard Market Grill, find this story online at PlanitLife.com/ mysterydiner companion’s eye. As a meat lover myself, I chose The 24-Hour Steak sandwich. Served on a soft baguette, the steak was complemented by blue cheese, buttermilk garlic dressing, mushrooms, balsamic caramelized onions and arugula. My fellow diner went with the Cuban Chicken sandwich and delighted at the fact that it looked exactly as he had pictured. His sandwich paired grilled chicken with Swiss cheese, chipotle aioli, smoked tavern ham, and sweet and spicy pickles, all piled on a freshly baked, soft baguette. The moment our plates arrived, we dug in and didn’t stop until the final crumb was devoured. With full bellies, we both thought we’d had enough, until we saw the grill’s Root Beer Float, a classic American treat. Delivering a perfect serving size of vanilla ice cream and Chicago-style root

Even though the eatery operates with a fast-casual concept, the wait staff was extremely attentive, continually checking the dining room to be sure guests were satisfied.
One of my favorite parts of Standard Market Grill was the fact that when we ventured into the grocery store after eating ravenously, our shopping list didn’t grow by eight additional items. We were already full and content.

When one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in the isolated house quickly turn dangerous. It is up to Gillette who assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears in this witty, suspenseful caper.”

South’s tournament slate includes six dates started with Monday’s Naperville Central invite. The squad has other tough tourney tests at Addison Trail (3 p.m. today), Providence (Sept. 13) and Lemont (Oct. 4) before the postseason begins.
Hinsdale Central Red Devils Coach: Jess Krueger Conference: West Suburban Silver Top players Brian Dolehide Kenneth Li Brendan O’Reilly Drew Shepard
Year Senior Junior Sophomore Junior
Outlook: If the accomplishments of the returning players are any indication, the Red Devils have a great chance to win their third consecutive state title. The top four scorers from the team that won state by 13 strokes last fall – Brian Dolehide, Kenneth Li, Brendan O’Reilly and Drew Shepard – are all back in the fold. Li’s 142 score was good for second in the state, while O’Reilly finished tied for 11th with a 149. Depth will come in the form of varsity newcomers such as seniors Billy Bizub and Trevor Cook and juniors Max Bartuch and Mac Freehan. For a team with championship aspirations, a tough tournament slate during the regular season is the best way to prepare. Among the Shaw Media file photo six tourneys on the schedule, Hinsdale Central’s Kenneth Li tees off last fall during the second round of the IHSA state tournament.

Outlook: Former Redwings basketball coach Marty Gaughan takes over the team from Dan Nagis, who retired after 33 years at the helm, which included a fifth place team finish last fall. Gaughan inherits a team that returns three players from the state team. Junior Alex Bassetto carded a 154 over 36 holes at the Class 3A state tournament last year, while seniors George Carroll (163) and Ben Johnson (167) also were part of the state team. Benet, which won four invites and ESCC and regional championship last season, will be looking for more of the same against a tough schedule that includes Naperville North, Waubonsie Valley and the Hinsdale Central Red Devil Invite.

LISLE – It has been a whirlwind summer for Doug McDermott. From being a first-round selection in the NBA Draft in June to competing in the NBA Summer League to working with some of the best players in the world as a member of the USA Basketball Select Team that practiced with the National Team, McDermott’s first summer as a pro has been a busy one. After his summer obligations and before training camp starts in October, McDermott took some time out of his schedule to visit youth players participating in the All-Day Players Camps at the Bulls/Sox Academy.

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LISLE – After making a name for himself while playing for his dad at Creighton, Doug McDermott was traded to the Chicago Bulls on draft night after being selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 11th overall pick. McDermott recently completed his first summer league with the Bulls and spent some time with the USA Select Team along with Bulls teammate Jimmy Butler. McDermott visited the Bulls/ Sox Academy on Aug. 13 for a Chicago Bulls All-Day Player Camp, where he signed autographs for young fans and spoke with members of the media, including Suburban Life sports reporter Dan Santaromita. What was your experience like with the Select Team and getting a chance to be around [Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau]? McDermott: It was really cool just to get a chance to be around them. Obviously I can learn a lot from them, and I’m going to have a chance to do that coming up here pretty soon. How was Derrick Rose doing? McDermott: He was real focused. He wanted to get out there and show what he can do, and he did. He was really good to meet beforehand. How good was it to see him practicing and playing? McDermott: It’s been great. We knew it was coming the whole time because we saw it leading up to summer league, so it wasn’t a big surprise to us when he was out there playing well for USA. It’s great to see and great for us as teammates to see that. Is everything going how you expected for you this summer? McDermott: I always expect to do well. I put in a lot of work. As long as I keep doing that I expect good things to happen. I’m sure there will be some bumps here and there, but that’s just the way basketball is. I’m just looking forward to

The rookie was a special guest at the camp. contributing to a really good team. Was is hard to hear your name in trade rumors? McDermott: I didn’t follow it too much. I looked at it as I’m an NBA player either way so you can’t complain. I’m just glad I’m here. I feel that they really like me here. I feel like I’m wanted and I want to help out this team. Has playing with the Select Team the past two years helped you? McDermott: It really has. They’ve given me so much more confidence, just being able to play against the best players in the world going into a college season and my first NBA season. There’s not any better way to drive yourself than going against the best players in the world.
Doug McDermott key stats ! 26.7 Points per game ! 7.0 Rebounds per game ! 52.6 Field goal percentage ! 96 3-pointers made
McDermott: It’s great. It’s just awesome being around the kids and the fans. It shows what kind of support the city has to offer. It’s great helping out and giving kids advice because I was in their shoes one day and they’re all hoping to get into mine.
*For 2013-14 season at Creighton
What have you been working on most in your game this summer? McDermott: Ball handling, working on my range and, with coach Thibodeau, defense. He preaches defense, so that’s something I got to get better at and that’s something I’m looking forward to working with him. How much do you enjoy events like [the camp] that help you learn a little bit more about your community?
Who did you follow growing up? McDermott: I liked the Bulls a lot. I hate to admit it, but I was a huge Reggie Miller Pacers fan, but I liked the Bulls. I’m a Midwest kid and you dream of playing for Chicago, especially watching MJ (Michael Jordan). What’s been the biggest adjustment of becoming a pro basketball player? McDermott: Just the lifestyle, the routines. Being able to manage your time well. You’re not scheduled to do
stuff. You have to show up on your own and get it done. Have you had a chance to step away off the basketball court? McDermott: A little bit. Not a lot, though. I plan on doing that here in two weeks or so and take a little time off before getting ready for training camp and try to hit the golf course a little bit. Has Thibodeau told you how he’s going to use you? McDermott: I haven’t talked to him a whole lot about that. I think we’re still learning each other.

New concussions impact study A new study from the American Academy of Pediatrics indicates that concussions from impacts to the top of the head may be more severe than those that result from other impact locations. The research, using data from the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study, found that 8 percent of football players with top-ofhead concussions experienced a loss of consciousness, compared with 3.5 percent of those who had impacts on other areas.
Low-profile government office searching – and paying – for solutions

By Jay Hancock Kaiser Health News
T
he Affordable Care Act was supposed to mend what President Barack Obama called a broken health care system, but its best-known programs — online insurance and expanded Medicaid for the poor — affect a relatively small portion of Americans. A federal office you’ve probably never heard of is supposed to fix health care for everybody else. The law created the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to launch experiments in every state, changing the way doctors and hospitals are paid, building networks among caregivers and training them to intervene before chronic illness gets worse. One example: George Washington University’s $1.9 million award to improve care and cut costs for at-home dialysis patients. Another: CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield’s $24 million grant to reduce unnecessary hospital visits for chronically ill Medicare patients. The center’s 10-year, $10 billion budget is the largest ever devoted to transforming care. In several states the office is working to overhaul medicine for nearly all residents — not just those with government Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Every few months it awards test grants of $3 million or $10 million each — or sometimes tens of millions — to community groups, clinics, hospitals, insurance companies, nursing homes and states. Its programs touch millions of patients. Hundreds of organizations have gotten money. More than $2 billion has been doled out or committed since 2011.
Skeptics on both sides One of the biggest experiments is the center itself. Skeptics, including Republicans but also those who support the health law, wonder if it’s up to the task. “While I certainly appreciate innovation in the delivery of health care, the CMMI is just another big government bureaucracy created by Obamacare that costs billions and duplicates other efforts,” Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said through a spokesman. Hatch mused at a hearing last year whether the center’s hundreds of tests represent “barely controlled chaos.” Even policy pros who hope the innovation lab succeeds wonder if its investment will pay off and complain that it is slow to disclose information on spending and results. “This is absolutely necessary” to try to change how care is bought and delivered, says Christopher Koller, president of the Milbank Memorial Fund, a nonprofit that works to improve medical deci-

sion making. “Is this the right way to do it? A whole bunch of experiments? Is the innovation center adequately resourced in an administrative way to do this? The jury is still out on this.”
Who’s getting money With a staff of 265 and growing, CMMI must not only administer ACOs and other reimbursement tests that reward quality care at lower cost. It also manages hundreds of grants and dozens of contractors hired to monitor and evaluate the programs. Projects tend to focus on people with expensive diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart failure and schizophrenia. In one round of grants, awardees were urged to deploy projects “as rapidly as possible” and show results within six months. The Johns Hopkins University got $19.9 million to improve care for East Baltimore’s chronically sick and mentally ill. An AsianAmerican community group got $2.7 million to help low-income Californians navigate the medical system. The University of Tennessee got $3 million to help ensure repeat hospital patients in Memphis stay on their medications after discharge. Intermountain Health Care got $9.7 million to test software that forecasts the best ways for caregivers to interact with patients. Many efforts don’t just involve the elderly Medicare and poor Medicaid patients in HHS’ primary insurance programs. Six states including Maine, Arkansas and Oregon got up to $45 million each to involve commercial insurers and their members as well as government programs in trials to improve health and control costs.

TIP OF THE WEEK
Eating healthy starts in your own kitchen. Homemade meals take a little extra planning, but you can cut calories and add more nutrients if you do it yourself. Here’s the plan: Sunday setup: Designate one day as “Plan and Prep” for the entire week. Make a list of your week’s meals and the ingredients required, then go grocery shopping. When you get home, it’s time to prep. Some advice: ! Make sure you have storage containers and an insulated lunch box. They make transportation and storage of food much easier. ! Grill or bake a week’s worth of chicken breasts. ! Brown ground turkey or beef that can be tossed in with eggs and pasta sauces. ! Make a batch of quinoa or brown rice to use for breakfast porridges, salads or side dishes. ! Hard boil a dozen eggs for on-the-go protein snacks. ! Slice and dice a week’s worth of fruits and veggies for stirfries, salads and easy snacking. ! Use your slow cooker. If you’re OK with eating the same food a few times a week, start the slow cooker overnight on Sunday and portion into individual containers the next morning. Make a versatile meat like pulled chicken or pork to use in a variety of styles: sandwiches, salads, pitas and pastas.
