Family fun, corn and the LeaderShop. The three things went together this weekend in Brookfield at Faith Lutheran Church, 3801 Madison Ave. The church works regularly with the LeaderShop – a La Grange-based organization that gets youth involved in their community – to provide a space for events. Purchases of food and drink at the second annual Brookfield Family Corn Roast went to support LeaderShop activities and programs. The roast was Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. and featured local bands, performances, face painting, games and more.

GIANT TRUCKLOAD SALE

RIVERSIDE – Earlier this year, St. Mary Parish of Riverside started an initiative to help refugee families resettling in Chicago become self-sufficient in three months by providing housing, job opportunities, financial support and a medium to develop relationships with the church’s parishioners. St. Mary Parish began its Refugee Sponsorship Committee in March in collaboration with the Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement program

and plans to help resettle two families by the end of this year. It needs to raise $1,600 per family to be able to supply services, including a welcome pack, subsidized rent for 90 days, an apartment in Rodgers Park, financial help and assistance in finding a job. The church has raised $1,556 so far and has furniture in storage for the potential apartment. “The goal is to ease [them] in,” Dalia Rocotello, a member of the Refugee Sponsorship

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has helped states implement traffic safety programs for the past few years to assist police agencies in conducting intensive, highly publicized campaigns of increased enforcement for speeding, impaired driving and safety belt laws, according to a Riverside Police Department news release.

cording to the release. The grant includes the Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program that will run Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2014. Officers will conduct six special enforcement mobilizations during that time. The mobilization will follow a four-week schedule, starting with public information and education and ending with a traffic-enforcement phase. The goal of the grant is to reduce the overall number of traffic crashes and associated fatalities and serious injuries by enforcing traffic laws with an emphasis on speed, seat belt use and impaired driving. Police also want to achieve increased use of child safety seats and booster seats during day and evening hours, the release said. Illinois had one of the best years on record in 2012 with fewer roadway fatalities. Traffic safety statistics showed a slight decrease in the second half of 2012 after an awareness campaign that included a running tally of traffic deaths on highway message boards. “Riverside Police Department is proud to continue its partnership with IDOT and other law enforcement agencies to help reduce traffic fatalities. We’re committed to increasing safety on our roadways and will use all available resources to provide safety education programs that encourage safe driving habits,” Sgt. Leo Kotor said.

8SOUND OFF A better way to grieve

More on strollers

I hope somebody can help those young people who are perpetuating the memory of their friend with those plastic cups over 294 stuffed inside the fencing. If everybody did that, it would be a terrible mess over the tollway there. In the Suburban Life, there was an article about the Salt Creek butterfly farm, and they have a bereavement program. If I had the money, I would gather up the people who are doing that and have a little bereavement ceremony with the butterflies. They also need to take down those tattered and discolored and dirty ribbons that are still up and down Wolf Road. I understand the loss of somebody. I’ve lost many people and family pets. I’m sorry for their loss.

Regarding the lady who takes her child in the stroller to the craft fairs in La Grange and claims that it only takes up the space of another person, it does not. The width and the depth of the stroller takes up much more space. And children are not the people who buy things at those fairs. It’s just making things more congested.

Bad place for a speed trap I think it’s extremely disrespectful when I see the police in La Grange Park and Brookfield doing surveillance or using a radar gun while parked in a cemetery or a funeral home parking lot. I look at those places as peaceful and restful, and they should be given some respect. I’m sure people who are visiting a funeral home for arrangements or the cemetery for a loved one could benefit from a place to do that.

Keep an eye on plans I hope La Grange village officials do a better job in investigating the new tenants or property owners of the old YMCA space than they did when they wanted a mixed-use facility built back in the 2000s. Had that gone through, there would have been a bunch of one-bedroom, one-bath apartments, probably populated with multiple people from families, and the schools would’ve been dragged down and it would’ve been a blight. It was a blessing that the guy sued the park district, which kept that from going through.

Underpass needs work I am a Lisle resident who regularly takes the Burlington Northern train from the Lisle train station, and I’m calling to Sound Off about the pedestrian underpass there. It was probably dismantled over a year ago, and there’s no signs of work being done. It’s always dark, dingy and damp, with puddles of dirty water everywhere when you walk through it. It gets on your shoes and your clothes. I’m just wondering, what’s the plan? When will there be some movement on it to improve upon its current state of affairs?

Sterling Morton High School District 201 participates in the College Board’s Advanced Placement Program to provide willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit, or advanced placement, and stand out in the college admission process. Most four-year colleges in the United States provide credit and/or advanced placement for qualifying exam scores. Research consistently shows AP students who score a three or COMMUNITY higher on AP Exams (based on a scale from one to five, VOICE with five being the highest) Michael typically experience greater Kuzniewski academic success in college and have higher college graduation rates than students “The board and [board who do not participate in AP. I want to highlight one of President Jeff Pesek] the more difficult AP courses have continually pushed we offer, AP Calculus. This past school year, to provide the highest we had more students take the exam, as well as earn a quality education passing score, than we have possible to our students had in previous years. We had a total of 124 students take the and prepare them exam, and 80 of them passed to succeed in college.” with at least a three. Of the 80 who received at least a three, a total of 30 students received the highest score of five. This accomplishment is a testament to the vision of the Board of Education and Board President Jeff Pesek. The board and Jeff have continually pushed to provide the highest quality education possible to our students and prepare them to succeed in college. I am very proud of all of these students, and the teachers who helped them to succeed.

A thumbs up to the Helping Hand Center for the amazing work it does in the community. We recently profiled the organization as it seeks to find independent housing for clients as they – and the parents who care for them – grow older. It’s a story anyone who has had a child leave home could understand. Even as the organization struggles to find enough housing to serve the needs of the community, it continues to find creative ways to do as much as possible with its resources. Thumbs up, Helping Hand! A thumbs up to Relay for Life Riverside/Brookfield on raising $1 million for cancer research. That’s no small number. All those involved should feel proud of the work they’ve done in the past 12 years. Matt Hendrickson, news editor mhendrickson @shawmedia.com 630-427-6254

Local Boy Scouts attend national event By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Three local Boy Scouts were part of 40,000 Scouts from around the world to take part in the organization’s first gathering at a new 10,600-acre site in West Virginia. Elliott Marovec and Jordan Dockins, of La Grange, and Matthew Weems, of La Grange Park, left La Grange at 3:30 a.m. July 14 on a 13-hour bus ride to the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve, in West Virginia’s New River Gorge region, known for its adventure sports. During the 10-day camp, the Scouts participated in activities such as mountain biking, shooting sports, kayaking, zip lining, archery, rock climbing, bouldering and skateboarding. “It was totally worth it, and it was just amazing,” Marovec said. “I would suggest that everyone else who’s in Boy Scouts should do it if they get the chance.” Marovec woke up at 4:30 a.m. one day to go zip lining, which allowed him to beat the lines. “My favorite part was probably when I went zip lining,” he said. “Just that feeling in the air going over the summit center.” Boy Scouts of America hosts a national jamboree every four years, but this was the first one at the new West Virginia site. Marovec said he met scouts from all over the U.S., along with participants from other countries, such as South Korea and the United Kingdom. Marovec, Dockins and Weems are members of Boy Scout Troop 39. Dockins’ father, Paul, was selected to serve as a scout master at the gathering. For one year leading up to the trip, he led monthly training sessions for the scouts, which involved long treks with their backpacks to prepare for the long hiking journeys. “Having 40,000 scouts there is amazing in itself,” said Lisa Marovec, Elliott’s mother. “I don’t know where [else] a 13-year-old can do something of this scope that teaches them to be so self-reliant.”

• REFUGEE Continued from page 4 Committee said. The church has provided welcome packs for refugees in the past, which include items necessary for an apartment, such as towels, food items and pots and pans. St. Mary plans to have events throughout the year to support potential families, as well as offer support for its current 300 refugee sponsors who benefit from the church’s services. The parish will host a Girl Scout picnic from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 24 in Mary Park, near Herrick and Longcommon roads. The Girl Scouts will host activities for refugee children and give them backpacks and school supplies. “What’s beautiful about [the program] is it will really engage the parish as a whole,” Rocotello said. She said the seed for the idea was planted after hosting a baby shower for a refugee family in November, 2012. After the nice interaction with the family she asked herself, “How can we spin this off as its own ministry in our parish?” “We are now broadening our support with the formation of our St. Mary Refugee Sponsorship Committee,” the church said in a recent newsletter. “Together with Catholic Charities, the committees’ goals are heightening awareness of refugees’ plight, developing relationships between refugee families and parishioners and providing financial and inkind support to facilitate their self-sufficiency.” St. Mary will have a parish action day Nov. 2.

LA GRANGE PARK – The attitude of Becca Mueller, a 10-year-old battling leukemia since August 2010, was perhaps most striking in response to her parents’ comment that she had to spend Christmas in the hospital three years ago. “But Santa, he came too,” Mueller said. On Aug. 3, 2010, Mueller was diagnosed with two forms of leukemia: acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ALL is the most common type of cancer in children, but AML is more common in adults. “Usually, it’s just one [form],” said Barb Mueller, Becca’s mother. “But she...got two.” Both forms involve abnormalities in the body’s production of white blood cells. After being diagnosed, Becca spent much of the first year of treatment at Hope Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, which proved difficult. She experienced side effects with almost every form of treatment, which included chemotherapy, radiation, bone marrow tests and spinal taps. The steroids she had to take caused cell and bone damage to her hips and shoulders, which is why she uses walking aid that fasten around her arm. “I’m difficult,” Becca joked. After spending so much time in the hospital, Becca now gets to stay home, where she shares a bedroom with her sister, Julia, 8. Until recently, the room held a “lot of icky memories,” Barb Mueller said, from times when Becca was sick. The memories aren’t gone, but thanks to Kelly Knox, Becca and her sister have a new room where they can start making new ones. Knox is the Chicago area director of Special Spaces, which creates new bedrooms for kids with critical illnesses. On July 13, Knox and her team asked the Muellers to get out of their house during the day. By night,

the two girls had a new room, highlighted by pink walls, purple peace signs, wood floors and, most importantly, a top-ofthe-line bunk bed. “It’s amazing,” said Becca. “It looks so cool now. Me and my sister always wanted bunk beds. It’s like so fun having a bunk bed. It’s so nice having a brand new fresh room.” The Muellers are thankful for a new bedroom, but Knox was just as touched by the family. “They’re constantly filled with laughter … It is constant,” she said. “That mother, Barb, is doing an amazing job raising those children with a half glass full mentality.” The family has needed it. In January 2010, seven months before Becca was diagnosed, Barb’s mom, Mary Perry, was diagnosed with the same cancer. Becca and her compared their white blood cell counts and platelets after treatments. In May 2011, she passed. Becca’s initial treatment targeted the AML, the more aggressive form, but it didn’t work. Doctors then began treating the ALL, and Becca finished that treatment in January. Now, she’s in remission and visits the hospital once a month for blood checks and every three months for a spinal tap. “Since she’s been off the treatment, I feel like she’s getting stronger,” Barb Mueller said. “I think she’s been growing more. All that stuff’s out of her system.” While in the hospital, Becca had to miss second grade, but she had a tutor at the hospital and didn’t miss a beat, Barb Mueller said. This year, she’ll be a fifth-grader at Forest Road School. She loves music and art class, and she’s in advanced math. Outside of school, Becca likes to sew (she has her own machine), dance with her sister and swim. She’s also learning to play the piano. “Becca is definitely somebody special,” said Lisa Boland, the coordinator of child life at Hope Children’s Hospital

Lorae Mundt – lmundt@shawmedia.com

Becca Mueller, 10, right, and her sister, Julia, 8, show off their newly remodeled bedroom July 24. where Becca receives treatment. “She’s just overcome so much throughout her treatment.”

Talking with Barb and Kent Mueller, it’s not difficult to notice where the attitude comes from. When asked if she gets

it from her mom, Becca said: “She’s good with stuff. And everybody calls me a tough cookie.”

Restaurant reviews

Wine and dine with small plates at Salt Creek Wine Bar In a fast-food land of heaping piles of french fries, 32-ounce soda buckets and extra-large pizza slices, it’s nice to find a place where you can eat small and eat slow. At the Salt Creek Wine Bar, you can do just that. On a recent Friday night, I traveled to Brookfield in anticipation of a nice meal at the wine bar, and got just what I was hoping for: several small plates to be enjoyed over a good glass of wine – in my case, sangria. Located just off the Brookfield train station near the corner of Grand Boulevard and Prairie Avenue, the Salt Creek Wine Bar has been a staple of the town’s restaurant community for many years. The atmosphere inside is relaxed and comfortable, filled with plenty of tables, a long bar and a performance area. Work by local visual artists is displayed on the walls, and music plays quietly in the background. My dining companion and I arrived about 6 p.m. and momentarily were surprised to be the only ones in the restaurant. However, other diners slowly trickled in, and the place was filling quickly by the time we left about 8:30 p.m. I suspect the reason for the later rush was a young woman with a guitar who was setting up in a corner as we departed. I wish I had stayed on for the music, because it’s a standard feature of the wine bar, with local acts playing everything from folk to jazz. The live music is a big draw, I’ve been told, and it pairs perfectly with the ambiance, food and drink. Because it’s a wine bar, wine definitely is the focus here. If you’re not a wine fan, there’s still a good beer and cocktail list, but with so many options and a knowledgeable staff, anyone should be able to find a wine they like – or several to try in a flight. The food complements

The cheese flight at Salt Creek Wine Bar is a great way to start the meal, or to snack on as you catch a jazz trio.

Bar should be a destination where you go to sit a while, enjoy a good meal and conversation, and not worry about bringing home a doggie bag. You’re there to take it in, eat leisurely and enjoy the overall experience. I absolutely enjoyed my experience and plan to return soon. With a menu of tapas pizza, creative sandwiches and small plates made for sharing, there’s plenty still to try. When I return, I’ll check the musical offering first and bring as many friends as I can get to accompany me. Good food is good, but good food accompanied by good friends, good music and good conversation is something more – it’s a feast.

Edward Chapp, Chicago Mustangs bring semi-pro football to RB By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com

Lorae Mundt – lmundt@shawmedia.com

Reggie Williams, the Midstates Football League Rookie of the Year in 2010, runs with the ball during a practice Thursday at Riverside Brookfield High School.

RIVERSIDE – For many aspiring athletes, sports are about chasing a dream. In the case of the Chicago Mustangs semi-pro football team, it’s all about hanging onto that dream for as long as possible. The Mustangs, owned and coached by Riverside resident Edward Chapp, play in the Midstates Football League. They play home games at Riverside Brookfield High School. Chapp got into coaching for a youth program and then was a chaplain in arena football for three years. That wasn’t enough to give him his football fix. “I decided to get more involved at my own level and start my own team,” Chapp said. Thus, the Mustangs were formed. After playing at Morton West in Berwyn for a year, Chapp moved the team to RB because he wanted to bring the team to his community. The players aren’t paid professionals, but rather working adults looking to keep playing organized football. “This is just for myself and for the players,” Chapp said. “It’s something we do for fun.” Local players make up the majority of the roster. Some played high-level college football and just want to keep playing. Others didn’t even play college ball, and some of the players still have college eligibility and are trying to find

their way onto a team. The Mustangs have a full 60-man roster, but the difficult part isn’t getting players; it’s getting good players. “Typically in the beginning of the year or early on when we start working out ,you will get an influx of a lot of players,” Chapp said. “Most of them might not be the highest caliber athlete. As real practice begins, the water and the oil kind of separate themselves, and a lot of those guys begin to drop off. It’s tough to keep even the better quality players because we all have lives and jobs and families.” Chapp works a 9-to-5 job in the printing industry as well as balancing his time with the Mustangs. While he said the team has had its ups and downs since its 2009 formation, things have steadied in the past couple years. The toughest part remains monetary support. The Mustangs have to pay for uniforms, travel expenses for out-of-state road trips as well as facility fees. “It’s a sport that we need to find ways as a team to support itself,” Chapp said. “It’s pretty much a year-round thing because even when we’re in the offseason, we’re still trying to do events and recruit players and work on conditioning.” Ultimately, it’s a small price to pay. “The best thing about it is building the relationships with the people we work with,” Chapp said.

Big Ten gridiron Local football talent gears up for 2013 season with Illinois, Michigan State, more Jack Allen College: Michigan State High school: Hinsdale Central Class: Sophomore Position: Offensive lineman Splitting time between left guard and center last season, Allen started 12 contests and played in all 13 of the Spartans’ games as a redshirt freshman, anchoring an offensive line that helped produce 149.4 rushing yards a game in 2012. Named to the Big Ten Conference all-freshman team, Allen also was named a first-team freshman All-American by the Football Writers Association of American as well as the Sporting News. He is the No. 1 right guard on the Spartans’ depth chart heading into preseason camp.

Doug Diedrick College: Northwestern High school: Montini (Woodridge) Class: Sophomore Position: Superback An all-state linebacker in high school, Diedrick has transitioned to the other side of the ball in college to become a utility offensive player for Northwestern. After sitting out during a redshirt year in 2011, the Woodridge native saw his first collegiate action last fall and played in two games. He caught one pass for 13 yards against South Dakota State and rushed three times for 12

yards on the year. He could see more action this season in NU’s spread offense.

Reilly O’Toole College: Illinois High school: Wheaton Warrenville South Class: Junior Position: Quarterback Sharing the quarterback spot with Nathan Scheelhaase last season, O’Toole played in seven games to Scheelhasse’s 10 but posted better numbers in completion percentage (74.7), touchdowns (six) and efficiency rating (142.7). O’Toole also rushed for a pair of touchdowns and finished second on the team in total offense. Last season, he set the program’s single-game record for completion percentage when he completed 83.9 percent of his passes (26-of-31) against Charleston Southern. As one of the most experienced QBs on the roster, O’Toole once again could see plenty of playing time.

Tommy Schutt College: Ohio State High school: Glenbard West Class: Sophomore Position: Defensive lineman Schutt, who originally was committed to Penn State University, was an immediate contributor to the Buckeyes as a freshman. Appearing in 10 games, including a start against Central Florida in Week 2, this

defensive lineman finished the 2012 season with four tackles. The 6-foot-2, 303-pounder is expected to have an increased role this fall.

Austin Teitsma College: Illinois High school: Glenbard South Class: Junior Position: Defensive lineman In his second season playing for the Illini last year after taking a redshirt in 2009, Teitsma played in all 12 games and recorded 15 tackles, including two solo and two tackles for loss. He twice recorded four tackles in a game (against Charleston

Southern and Northwestern) and forced a fumble against Northwestern. He also was an academic All-Big Ten honoree. Heading into the 2013 season, Teitsma is the No. 1 defensive tackle on the depth chart.

Mike Trumpy College: Northwestern High school: Wheaton North Class: Senior Position: Running back After playing 13 games in his first two seasons after a 2009 redshirt year, a fully healthy Trumpy played in all 13 of Northwestern’s games last season and finished third on the team in

rushing with 349 yards and three touchdowns. He also figured into the passing game and caught eight passes last season. The academic All-Big Ten honoree finished sixth on the team in scoring and fourth on the team in total offense. Heading into his final season, Trumpy is expected once again to be a key contributor.

Kyle Prater

College: Northwestern High school: Proviso West Class: Junior Position: Wide receiver

Prater made his NU debut last fall after transferring from USC in the spring of 2012 and added depth to the Wildcats’ already deep receiver corps. Prater saw action in all 13 games last year, catching 10 passes for 54 yards. In his first game at Ryan Field, he caught three passes against Vanderbilt, and he hauled in two passes in the Wildcats’ 34-20 win over Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. After a full year in the Wildcats’ system, Prater could be poised for a breakout season.

Dan Vitale College: Northwestern

High school: Wheaton Warrenville South Class: Sophomore Position: Superback One of four true freshmen to crack the lineup in 2012, Vitale played in all 13 of the Wildcats’ games last fall. He caught his first career touchdown pass against Nebraska, had 110 yards receiving in Northwestern’s win at Michigan State, and had seven receptions for 82 yards in the Gator Bowl. After the season, Vitale was named to the ESPN.com Big Ten All-Freshman Team and was the Offensive Newcomer of the Year award recipient. Vitale is at the top of the Wildcats’ depth chart

at superback (No. 5 receiver) heading into the season.

Jordan Westerkamp College: Nebraska High school: Montini (Lombard) Class: Redshirt freshman Position: Wide receiver After redshirting his first year in Lincoln, Westerkamp will be hoping to earn some playing time this season. He was one of Nebraska’s first commits in 2012 and one of the most heralded talents in that class. The sure-handed wideout isn’t expected to start, but should see time as the No. 4 or 5 wide receiver.

Lions learn plenty during summer tourney run By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LISLE – Lyons Township baseball again showed it’s among the elite baseball programs in the state this summer but came up just short in a bid to repeat as summer state champions. The Lions won sixstraight games in the Phil Lawler Classic to make it to the final of the tournament, but lost to St. Rita 11-0 in five innings in the championship game July 25 at Benedictine University. LT made five errors and gave up 10 hits in the first two innings against St. Rita. Rita scored four runs on three errors in the first inning and seven more runs in the second. “That’s baseball,” LT coach George Ushela said. “I wish it would have been a better game.” The Lions were gunning for a fifth summer state final and a second in a row.

Larsen, a senior outfielder who also was named all-tournament last summer, and Hughes, a junior new to varsity, both pitched shutouts when the tourna-

ment reached the final eight teams. Senior Sam Heilenbach manned first base, and his cousin, John, a junior, played third. “I think we all just like hitting in warm weather,” Larsen said. “Last year was a lot of fun. This year, it’s a lot of fun.”

In the four games the Lions played at the final eight of the tournament, Ushela was able to learn a lot about his team. “We played four different games: 1-0, 10-0, 11-0 the other way and a come-from-behind win in the first one,” Ushela said. “It’s a good

learning experience. We got a lot of evaluation. It was good experience for the kids to see this. It would have been more fun to be a little more competitive in the championship game. I wish it would have gone seven innings and had a little more drama.” Despite the lopsided loss in the final, making another deep postseason run shows just how consistent the LT program has been. In the past three years, the Lions have made four state finals between the spring and summer seasons with two wins. “It’s got to be the coaching,” Hughes said. “Especially when tournament time comes, mentally we have to be focused for the game. We meet three hours before game time at the school. We watch videos, we hit, get mentally prepared for the game three hours before. It’s not just showing up to the field and playing. It’s all the preparations.”

Children from households that meet Federal guidelines are eligible for free or reduced-price meal services. Complete one application per household for all children that attend the same school district. All meals served must meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture meal requirements. However, if a child has been determined by a doctor to have a disability and the disability would prevent the child from eating the regular school meal, this school will make substitutions prescribed by the doctor. If a substitution is needed, there will be no extra charge for the meal. If you believe your child needs substitutions because of a disability, please contact the school for further information. Application forms are being sent to all homes with a letter to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced-price meal services, households must complete the application as soon as possible, sign it, and return it to the school. Additional copies of the application form are available in the principal's office in each school. Households should answer all applicable questions on the form. An application which does not contain all the required information cannot be processed and approved by the school. Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) participants may be eligible for free/reduced-price meals and are encouraged to complete an application for meal benefits. The required information is as follows: SNAP/TANF HOUSEHOLDS: If the school provided you a letter that stated your child(ren) is eligible for free meals via the direct certification process, you do not have to complete this application to receive free meal benefits. Households that currently receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) for their child(ren), only have to list the child(ren)'s name and SNAP or TANF case number and sign the application. If at least one SNAP/TANF case number is provided for any household member, then all children listed on the application are categorically eligible for free meals.Applications listing LINK card numbers cannot be used for free or reduced-price meals. ALL OTHER HOUSEHOLDS: If a household's income is at or below the level shown on the income scale, children are eligible for either free or reduced-price meal services. Households must provide the following information: (1) the names of all household members, (2) the social security number of the adult household member signing the application, or indicate if the adult does not have a social security number, (3) the amount of income each household member received last month, how frequently it is paid; and where it came from (wages, child support, etc.); and (4) the signature of an adult household member. The information on the application may be checked by school or other officials at any time during the school year. Households may apply for benefits at any time during the school year. Households that are not eligible now but have a decrease in household income, an increase in household size, or have a household member becomes unemployed, should fill out an application at that time. Homeless, migrant, runaway youth and Head Start, and foster care children are categorically eligible for free meals. Please follow instructions and return form to school. Households that do not agree with the ruling of the official may wish to discuss it with the school. Households also have the right to a fair hearing. This can be done by calling or writing the Superintendent at your local school district. The U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination against its customers, emplyees, and applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal and, where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program, or protected genetic information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the Department.(Not all prohibited bases will apply to all programs and/or employment activities.)

Riverside Arts Weekend (RAW) celebrates both visual and performing arts with a multi-media juried fine arts fair and full musical performance schedule centered in Riverside’s Guthrie Park. Glamour takes center stage on Sunday, May 19 at 2:00 p.m. as RAW presents Revelry, a runway show featuring emerging designers from Dominican University. Revelry highlights fashion as a form of art with the cutting edge work of nine (9) alumnae of Dominican University’s Apparel Design program. The designers will present collections true to their respective artistic visions and highly unique from one another.

Revelry opens with the work of established designer Caroline Borucki (caro___) who has retail presence in New Buffalo, Michigan. It then segues to the work of emerging designers Alexandra Howard (Elmwood Park), Izzy Heras (Romeoville), Amanda Lindley (Tinley Park), Samantha Petkofski (Niles), Iris Carney (Berwyn), Molly Morettes (Park Ridge), Hannah Gerhardt (Omaha, NE) and Erin Von Kannon (Monmouth). Many of the designers will also exhibit portfolios and samples of their work at a Dominican University collective booth throughout Riverside Arts Weekend.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948. Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948. Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain. In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.” There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
