Brookfield native Evan Bartlett will work with subsistence farmers in the Tanzanian village of Bombo Majimoto as part of a project sponsored by 2Seeds Network, a nonprofit that sends graduates to Africa to participate in agricultural development projects. residents, almost all of whom are subsistence farmers. “When you live as a subsistence farmer, you’re basically eating what you can grow,” Bartlett said. “When there’s a flood or [other cause for shortage] … you go hungry.” Farming is not Bartlett’s expertise – she studied political science and history. But 2Seeds actually doesn’t want its coordinators to know too much about agriculture. “You tend to pigeonhole these villages to the way firstworld agriculture should work,” Bartlett said.

Instead of showing locals how to farm, Bartlett will work to increase the variety and amount of crops they grow, and also help them get their crops to bigger markets so they can make more money. She’ll also continue a community fund project started by last year’s coordinator that enables locals to take out loans backed by their peers. “The idea is that you can apply for a loan and you will be approved or rejected by your peers because it’s their money as well as yours,” Bartlett said.

Q: What do you think about forcing politicians to take a pay cut?

“I think they should. But I think it depends on whether the local government is corrupt.” Erin Tulik, Brookfield

“I don’t think it’s right to force people to take a pay cut, especially since those are the people making the laws.”

She’ll have her own bedroom in a stone house shared with another coordinator, but other familiarities will be all but gone. Internet access will be limited to once a month when all 2Seeds project coordinators meet in the town of Korogwe. Bartlett will have a local cellphone, but service is sparse. What do Bartlett’s friends think about her upcoming year? “They’re happy,” she said. “Slightly jealous and sad they won’t see me, but they know this is exactly what I

She’s interested in international development and world hunger, and she’ll get to experience both first-hand. “When you hear nonprofit and volunteering internationally, you tend to think of handouts and aid,” she said. “But this is more of a partnership. I’m not going in to save anybody. I’m going to learn.” As part of her project, Bartlett will write a blog that will appear on 2Seeds’ website, www.2seeds.org.

BROOKFIELD – Bombo Majimoto is a village in the middle of a valley in northeast Tanzania without electricity or running water, and it’s exactly where Evan Bartlett, 22, of Brookfield wants to be. In December, the Brookfield native graduated from Bryant University in Rhode Island, then came home to search for a job or internship. “I moved back in with my parents and was kind of going through the existential, ‘What am I going to do with Evan Bartlett my life’ phase,” Bartlett said. She wanted to do something in the nonprofit world, and what she found will take her halfway across it. After a competitive application and interview process, Bartlett was selected as a project coordinator for the 2Seeds Network, a nonprofit that sends graduates to Africa to participate in agricultural development projects. She’s been learning Swahili for ten weeks and leaves for her oneyear journey in Tanzania on Aug. 19. “To this day, I’m in disbelief, even after being accepted … that I’m going to be in Africa in three weeks,” said Bartlett, who has studied in London and traveled throughout Europe, but has never been to a developing country. Bartlett will work with a fellow coordinator and nine local farmers on projects to improve food and income security for Bombo Majimoto’s 2,000

3-D printer Saturday at the Brookfield Farmers Market.

There will be programs

at the library to familiarize residents with the technology after the debut. Maker Madness at 3 p.m. Aug. 14 is a class for ages 10 through high school that will teach how to create 3-D art.

The open 3-D Printing Lab will be at 2 p.m. Aug. 23, and gives all ages the chance to create an image. “We’re really excited to offer [the 3-D printer] to Brookfield,” Murray said. “We’ve seen a huge interest from the community.” The printer takes an image stored on an SD card or a computer and turns the image into a three-dimensional object. The PLA plastic filament, the material to construct the object, is on a spool attached to the machine. The spool winds the filament through a tube into the unit called the extruder. It then goes through a nozzle that heats up to 230 degrees Celsius to melt the filament to create the desired shape. The nozzle then runs back and forth on the platform and “prints” the object from the melted filament. Each layer is a millimeter thick that builds on one

another to eventually become the object. Murray said the library has created a chain link, nut and bolt, a stretchy bracelet and a small replica of the Stanley Cup. Murray said a teen volunteer group printed a snake in the shape of a spoon, a peace symbol necklace and the TARDIS, the telephone booth from Doctor Who. The library will provide the 3-D printer as a free service to Brookfield residents, but Murray said the designs must be sent to his email in an STL file to be put on a list. “I’m looking forward to seeing what the people of Brookfield come up with,” he said. The library also will offer classes in September and October to teach residents about the technology. “It’s going to be a fantastic way to bring people into the library,” Murray said. “We pride ourselves on having information for people to consume. We want to give people the opportunity to create their own information.”

BROOKFIELD – Community Support Services opened an integrated learning center last week that will provide people with disabilities a range of classes similar to what a park district might offer. The CSS Academy, 3732 Grand Blvd., is housed in a renovated 4,000-square-foot facility containing two classrooms separated by a soundproof wall. The academy is the first of its kind for CSS, which serves more than 700 individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their families. CSS clients live in 57 communities in western Cook and eastern DuPage counties. “For our current clients, it’s going to be a great place to go after they’ve finished high school,” said Michelle Jimenez, CSS vice president of development and marketing. “It’s really targeted at age 22 or higher for individuals with disabilities who want continuous learning after they finish high school.” A few of the classes offered include Acting 101, Baseball for Beginners, Computer Basics,

Interview Training, Sewing 101 and Latin Energy Zumba. A couple of classes, such as cooking and art, are offered by CSS, but most of them are new, with new instructors being hired to teach them. Although CSS serves people with disabilities, the classes will be open to everyone. “[They will] help individuals realize the abilities of people with disabilities,” Jimenez said. A survey of CSS clients’ families indicated there was a void in activities for clients age 22 and older, which led to the creation of the academy. “Once they are done with high school, if they’re not working, it can be a very lonely time of trying to fill the days,” Jimenez said. Fees from classes also will allow CSS to move toward becoming a for-profit organization at some point, Jimenez said. CSS hopes to offer about 30 classes a week and is currently accepting registrations, with classes expected to start Monday. Visit www.CSSservices. org or call 708-354-4547 to register or for information.

BROOKFIELD – A group of women recently celebrated the anticipation of the British royal birth with tea, scones and donations of baby items for a local cause. The House of Windsor Chapter of the Illinois Daughters of the British Empire hosted an event July 21 at Cantata Adult Life Services, 8700 W. 31st St., where it collected baby items for the organization Teen Parent Connection. Carol Walker, member of the House of Windsor Chapter, said the organization has three to four events a year raising money for Cantata Adult Life Services, formerly known as the British Home. Walker said there are five other chapters of DBE in northern Illinois that raise

money for Cantata Adult Life Services. The House of Windsor Chapter is raising money to renovate the English Garden area on the Cantata campus, Walker said. Twenty-five women attended the event dressed up to celebrate the royal birth. “As an honor for the Duchess of Cambridge, we donated to Teen Parent Connection,” Walker said. The DBE also uses these events as a recruitment opportunity for the organization. Walker said new members were pinned at the event. “Whatever might be happening in the royal family, we try to go along with it,” Walker said.

Police charged Santiago Hernandez, of the 4600 block of Custer Avenue, with one count of residential burglary on July 27.

BROOKFIELD Teenager charged with aggravated battery

BSL

A La Grange Park teen was charged with one count of aggravated battery to a police officer and two counts of resisting a police officer after an incident near a gas station in the 9100 block of Ogden Avenue at 1:10 a.m. July 26. Police responded to the gas station after its owner suspected the teen had stolen something and kicked him out of the store. When instructed to come to the police car, the teen responded with an obscenity and took off running through an alley. He eventually was caught by La Grange Park Police after running into and injuring a Brookfield police officer. At the police station, he smashed the receiver of a phone against the wall, breaking it into several pieces, which led to another charge, for criminal damage to government supporter property.

James A. Cook, 28, of Brookfield, was charged with battery after punching a man outside a bar in the 8400 block of Brookfield Avenue at 2:43 a.m. July 28. Several witnesses told police that Cook punched a man who has a child with a woman Cook associates with. During the fight, Cook removed his shirt in anger.

Disorderly conduct and drunkenness Brandon R. Wittenborn, 24, of North Riverside, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after being kicked out of a bar in the 8900 block of Burlington Avenue. Wittenborn yelled obscenities at people outside the bar and refused to leave, despite being told by bar employees and police.

Unlawfully permitting

a minor to become intoxicated Benjamin L. Johnson, 21, of Kalamazoo, Mich., was charged with unlawfully permitting a minor to become intoxicated after police found another man intoxicated and passed out in a lawn chair next to a backyard pool at a residence in the 3600 block of Grand Boulevard. Charles H. Gdula, 20, of North Riverside, was issued a local ordinance for consumption of alcohol by a minor. Johnson, a resident of the property, told police his parents were out of town.

DUI Juan Carlos Espin, 40, of the 1700 block of North 34th Avenue, Stone Park, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after side-swiping a taxi at Ogden and Eberly avenues around 3:19 a.m. July 28 Espin drove away from the car, but the taxi driver was able to track him down on Ogden Avenue just east of East Avenue. After police arrived, Espin failed several field sobriety tests. His blood alcohol concentration was measured at .190. Espin’s court date is Sept. 10 in Maywood.

Cellphone taken from gas station counter An employee at a gas station at 31st Street and Maple Avenue said a man stole a cellphone charging at the counter after pretending to look at peanuts he might buy, the employee reported at 9:25 p.m. July 26.

Change for $50 leads to theft A man buying a candy bar at CVS Pharmacy, 8911 Ogden Ave., asked an employee to break a $50 bill, but then requested the bill back, saying he would give the employee a different bill that wasn’t as greasy. The employee handed the bill back to the man, who then left the store and drove away with another person. The employee counted his cash register and found it was $55 short. The incident occurred at 6:56 p.m. July 24. See POLICE, page 16

Are you tired of driving miles to see your vet or board your pet? Soon, your drive can be a short, convenient trip. On July 24, the Countryside City Council unanimously approved a Planned Unit Development proposal for the construction of the Countryside Veterinary Center, a 20,000-square-foot, COMMUNITY 24/7, full service animal VOICE hospital at 9825 W. 55th St. Bryan The project will be a Swanson collaboration between three veterinarians with 90 years of combined experience at 10 Chicago area animal care hospitals and clinics. The project will provide state of the art clinical evaluations and treatments including diagnostics, on-site lab work, digital radiology, ultrasound and various dental and surgical procedures. Additional services will include animal emergency and critical care, physical and laser therapy, rehabilitation, a retail area, a day care, training, boarding and grooming. The project will provide 140 animal boarding suites, nine exam rooms, two surgical suites and one dental suite. The owners also will work closely with rescue groups and humane societies to provide low cost services for the less fortunate. The project will create an initial 30 new full- and part-time jobs to the area. The group chose 9825 W. 55th St. because they felt the greater Countryside area was vastly underserved, and because of the central location to many of the surrounding communities. The group also chose Countryside because of the business friendly atmosphere and proactive approach to commercial development. Groundbreaking on the new center is scheduled for mid-September with a grand opening planned in May 2014. The project will turn a blighted underutilized parcel of commercial property along 55th Street into a catalyst for future commercial redevelopment along the corridor. Robert W. Edwards of RWE Management Company will serve as the project manager and to date has constructed more than 85 animal care facilities in the greater Chicago area.

Bryan Swanson is the economic development coordinator for the city of Countryside

St. Mary parish will provide welcome and support to Refugee families such as the Burmese family pictured above who was resettled through Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago.

A thumbs up to St. Mary Parish of Riverside, which teamed up with Catholic Charities to help refugees get settled, find work and start a new life. Parish members can sponsor a family in the Refugee Resettlement program. Each family is given a welcome pack, which includes subsidized rent for 90 days, an apartment in Rodgers Park, financial assistance and a help finding a job. We applaud the parish and their parishioners efforts to help these families start a new life. A thumbs up to Special Spaces, a Chicago-area nonprofit that provides kids with life-threatening illnesses a special space all their own. We recently profiled a La Grange Park girl who was the recipient of one of their bedroom renovations. Becca Mueller, 10, was diagnosed with two forms of leukemia in 2010.

Counting cups

Suburban Life* • mysuburbanlife.com • Wednesday, August 7, 2013 • CC

Wow, someone actually counted the plastic cups over the tollway. Seriously? Somebody has too much time on their hands.

Purchasing power No, children in strollers don’t buy things at craft fairs, but their parents do. If my children are not welcome, then neither is my wallet.

La Grange Road: Your stance is that anything would be good. No, anything would not be good if it included apartments and multi-family housing. La Grange and La Grange school districts are full. They don’t need Section 8 housing, which is inevitable once the economy tanks, which is going to happen at some point in the future. So please just go retail or Y, I hope they rebuild, perhaps their own facility on the space but no apartments.

A silent prayer Most people know that there are many ways to grieve. Everyone is allowed to do that in his or her own way. Personally, cups that spell out loving memories of a beautiful life cut short seems perfect to me. Every time I see them, I say a silent prayer. I hope those young people continue their tribute for many years to come. No one has a right to criticize that which they obviously can’t understand.

Attractive clothes

Hello senior ladies, where do you shop for your attractive clothes? It is a challenge to find clothes suitable for my age, 70s. Stores seem to cater to those under 60. Also to those ladies who wear a size 16, where do you find that size? I have a family member who’s having problems finding stores with that size.

No apartments

Regarding the thumbs up about the YMCA taking proposals from developers for the space that’s empty and vacant at Ogden Avenue and

Let property owners vote Now that Governor Quinn has said he will sign into law the bill authorizing DuPage County to charge a stormwater fee, it is interesting to recall that the Illinois General Assembly passed this bill for Peoria County and DuPage County. The bill provides an opportunity for Peoria County voters to vote on whether or not to permit their county to charge property owners the fee. But the bill does not give DuPage property owners the same power. Of course our County Board could let us vote on this. What are the odds of that happening?

Old farmhouses Something needs to be done about the three dilapidated farm houses at the south entrance to Lisle’s Main Street. These dilapidated farmhouses have been there for at least 15 years, and nothing’s been to done to improve them. It leaves a terrible impression residents and visitors entering the new, upgraded, wonderful Lisle downtown Main Street district.

Riverside Board gets crime updates, approves events By DOUG GRAHAM msleditorial@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – Riverside police officers issued 530 fewer moving violation tickets and arrested 23 percent fewer DUI offenders throughout the first half of 2013 as compared to the first half of last year, according to a recent report. Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel said Thursday the decrease likely was a result of having fewer police officers on patrol during the midnight shift. Weitzel said two officers who were normally on that shift recently retired and the recruits who’d been hired to replace them still are being trained.

Weitzel said he believed that with time, the number of moving violation citations and DUI arrests would return to normal levels. The report also showed that Riverside police issued 102 more parking tickets in the first six months of 2013, compared over the same period last year. Another recent study showed the police department to be compliant with the state’s racial profiling laws, Weitzel told board members. Illinois requires an annual assessment of traffic stops made to determine if certain officers are more likely to arrest minority drivers. Of the nearly 2,500 traffic

stops made by Riverside Police Officers throughout 2012, 50.16 percent were minority violators and 49.84 percent were Caucasian violators. The study shows the department fell far below the minority benchmark number of 59.6 percent, which was set for Riverside by a state judge.

Chief details record burglary arrests The July arrests of two serial home burglars meant police could close 43 previously open burglary cases, Weitzel told the board. Weitzel added it was the largest pair of burglary arrests in the history of the village. Although police have estab-

lished that the two alleged burglars did not know each other, Weitzel told members of the Riverside Board of Trustees at their Thursday meeting that he knew one of them. Weitzel said one of the alleged burglars, Milo Simmons, 42, of Cicero, was a career criminal who spent the money he made from selling stolen goods to pay for his heroin habit. “I had arrested [Simmons] myself in the 1990s fleeing a residence on Fairbanks road,” Weitzel said. “When I saw him in our lockup, he remembered me, so that was nice.” The other alleged burglar was Earl Toomer, 19, of Maywood, allegedly prowled Riverside on a bicycle and stole from unlocked cars in residential driveways. “[Burglars] are going to keep coming back until they get caught, because it is extremely, in their mind, easy,” Weitzel said. “Milo said he kept coming back to Riverside because he got better equipment from our residents.”

Riverside to host ‘Betrayal’ filming, community events West suburban viewers of the new ABC studios crime-thriller “Betrayal” may notice some familiar houses in the upcoming series first few episodes. The new show, which is set and largely shot in Chicago, filmed in Riverside on Saturday and will film again on Friday. Riverside Village Manager Peter Scalera said that the filming would take place in the Longcommon and Delaplaine area. Scalera said the show’s producers already have been in contact with the residents in the immediate shooting area. “Much to [the producer’s] surprise – I’m not surprised, but I think they were surprised – a number of residents offered up their own driveways to be used however they want for the shooting,” Scalera said. “I thank all of the residents for their patience.” Scalera said there will be sporadic street closures in the area and the ABC Studio staff will distribute leaflets around the area.

Scalera said there are no plans to do any additional filming of the show in Riverside yet.

Community events approved The Riverside Board of Trustees approved the permits of four community events Thursday. The bike riders of the Eighth Annual Wright Ride will wind their way through Riverside once again on Aug. 18. Cyclists will zip past historic buildings and homes designed by Oak Park native Frank Lloyd Wright. Riders can choose routes to ride on 10-, 25- or 50-mile-long routes. Interested people can register online at the Oak Park Cycle Club’s website. Registration is $25 online and $30 on the day of the race for adults and $5 for children younger than 12. For the second year, the Fredrick Law Olmsted Society will host a daylong gardening event on Sept. 21 in the Riverside Public Library’s parking lot. The event, called FRED, will feature experts demonstrating how to arrange flowers as well as other gardening tips. The second Riverside Junior Woman’s Charity Pizza Fest will be at the Riverside Train Station on Sept. 28. The event was last hosted in 2009 and featured pizza tasting with samples from local pizzerias and a silent auction. The event organizers plan to serve alcohol at the event. Information will be available on the Riverside Junior Woman’s website. The second annual Riverside-Brookfield High School Bulldog River Run will be held Oct. 5. The run is planned to raise money for Bulldog athletics. The 5k route will start near Village Hall and follow the Des Plaines river, with runners crossing it twice by footbridge.

Plans to overhaul busy intersection move forward A state project to overhaul the intersection of First Avenue and Ridgewood Road near Riverside-Brookfield High School is moving along, but not without contention.

August 2, 2013. Chuck was born in Detroit, Michigan, May 28, 1935. He graduated from Morton Township High School in 1953, and was drafted into the United States Army in 1958. Prior to his marriage to Nancy J. Dauer on October 28, 1961, he was drafted a second time to Fort Knox, Kentucky, and their married life began in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. After being honorably discharged, Chuck and Nancy moved back to La Grange, and Chuck began his career as a mechanic, and later as a shop manager for several major trucking lines. He retired from Conway Freight in 2000. Never one to sit for long, Chuck returned to work part time for Dale Johnson Farms, then moved on to Waubonsee Community College in the Automotive Technology Department. Chuck's lifetime love of engines of every kind was known to all. “Cubes,” a nickname from his younger years, was always ready to help family and friends with car or home repairs. His ever present love for swimming and boating was exceeded only by his love of building and flying RC planes. Over the years, he held several offices in both the Palos RC Flying Club and more recently the RC Dusters. Chuck is survived by his loving wife, Nancy, his son, Michael, his daughter, Caryn and four grandchildren, Emily, Katie, Sam and Nate. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Ruth Brieschke and his sister, Glennel Nygren. Visitation with family will take place at Beverage Family Funeral Home 104 Terry Street, Sandwich, IL, Thursday, August, 8, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., followed by a memorial service at noon. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the family for distribution to organizations that Chuck supported.

Village Trustee Douglas Pollack said he objected to any plan that would add lanes for vehicles. “The purpose of right turn lanes is one thing: to move more traffic, faster,” Pollack said. “That is contrary to pedestrian safety.” Trustee Patricia Collins said she supports the project because of the unsafe decisions impatient drivers make on a regular basis. “They do really dangerous things because they want to turn right,” Collins said. Collins said often cars wanting to make a right turn onto First Avenue from Ridgewood Road will have to wait for pedestrians to pass before turning, making drivers who want to pass through the intersection feel they need to speed through in order to make the light. Weitzel agreed with Collins’ assessment of the moves made by frustrated drivers. “We have an officer there every single day,” Weitzel said. “Even the officers get frustrated with the actions of the drivers to get through the intersection.” Weitzel went on to say he was impressed with the plan, which was presented by the Illinois Department of Transportation last week. Sells said the decision to choose the current plan that involves adding a turn lane was made along with members of the Brookfield and North Riverside government’s along with representatives from the Brookfield Zoo and Riverside-Brookfield High School. It is not known when the Illinois Department of Transportation will begin construction on the intersection modifications.

Restaurant reviews

Charm and character highlight Public Landing Public Landing is a restaurant rich in character. Its charming setting and classic upscale fare surely are enough to attract those with an appetite, but the history ingrained in the Lockport eatery’s limestone walls truly sets it apart. It inhabits the first level of the historic Gaylord Building, a limestone warehouse constructed in 1838, that played a vital role in one of the great enterprises of the 19th century: the digging of the 96-mile-long Illinois & Michigan Canal. Nestled between the canal, a railway and a park, the building provides a local history lesson to Public Landing diners. Murals on the walls of the building’s entrance explain its significance to mid-1800s trade, while engraved stones just outside the restaurant’s patio offer a glimpse into how the waterway was born. President Abraham Lincoln played a big role. My companion and I spent a recent summer night at Public Landing. Dinner came first, followed by a relaxing walk through Lincoln Landing Park, a terrace along the canal just south of the Gaylord Building. Inside, diners are treated to a lovely window view of the restaurant patio, park and terrace overlooking the canal. Of course, you get the sense you’re dining in history: Wooden beams line the restaurant ceiling, and the limestone bricks show through to the interior. After we were seated, a veteran server greeted us kindly before bringing out warm pretzel bread with our appetizer, the House Made Chips. The app, tossed with Romano cheese and sea salt and flanked by a ranch dipping sauce, was both tasty and a bargain. For our entrees, I went with the Char Broiled Pork Tenderloin, while my companion opted for the Blackened Mahi Mahi, served over a roasted red pepper coulis and complemented with zucchini and yellow squash. The pork tenderloin was

The power conference CCIW football emerges as a premier D-III league By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com North Central College’s football team has won or tied for a conference title the past seven seasons. But head coach John Thorne knows maintaining that kind of success in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin will only get harder. “I think the conference has gotten more and more competitive,” said Thorne, who is heading into his 12th season at NCC. “The coaches in place are having good success recruiting people and everybody is competitive. Nobody wants the next program to get ahead of them.” That’s easier said than done. During Thorne’s tenure, six of the eight schools in the CCIW have won or taken a share of the conference title. North Central and Wheaton College have won outright titles while Augustana, Elmhurst, Illinois Wesleyan and Carthage have tied for titles. Wheaton College head coach Mike Swider has spent nearly 30 years coaching in the CCIW and has seen the overall competition get better in the NCAA Division III conference. “The conference has always been strong, but from top to bottom it has gotten stronger,” Swider said.

CCIW Record 6-1 6-1 6-1 4-3 3-4 2-5 1-6 0-7

“From top to bottom, the conference is as good as there is in the country. If you are picking the four or five top conferences, no doubt the CCIW is in there.” To gauge just how high the level of play is, Swider points to a specific area. As a conference, CCIW teams are 16-1 in the first round of the playoffs since 2001. “That tells you a lot,” he said. “Our conference always wins the first playoff game and that gives you credibility.” In terms of recruiting, CCIW schools compete with other Division II and III schools, NAIA institutions and players that receive walk-on offers from Division I schools. The competition for players can be fierce, but Division III schools are looking for a different type of student-athlete than the Division I scholarship athlete. “I think one of the things

The league is one of the most competitive conferences in Division III football. that I set off to do once I took the program over was to have excellence not only on the football field, but not to sacrifice the academic model,” said first-year Elmhurst College coach Joe Adam. “We’re not going to compromise academics for guys that can play the game well.” The schools in the CCIW are private institutions, which adds another speed

bump on the recruiting trail. NAIA schools can offer scholarships, and the smaller state schools in Wisconsin, such as perennial D-III contender Wisconsin-Whitewater, are public institutions with lower tuition rates. For local players who are serious about school and are interested in playing competitive football, the CCIW is a premier destination.

“Around the Chicagoland area, there are some great high school football players and only so many guys can go Division I,” North Central senior Shane Dierking said. “Plus the CCIW has outstanding coaching staffs and outstanding institutions where you can get a great education as well as be a part of great athletic programs. Why not sign the papers?”


From futbol to football Longtime soccer player Gomez-Velez hits gridiron for Illinois Wesleyan By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com BLOOMINGTON – Growing up as a soccer player, Juan Gomez-Velez got a late start on football. When the 2010 Riverside Brookfield grad found his friends were playing football, Gomez-Velez made the switch and continued his career in college. The defensive back is entering his senior season with Illinois Wesleyan this fall. “I played soccer my whole life and right before high

school started, I was still talking to the soccer coach and going to summer camp,” GoJuan mez-Velez said. Gomez-Velez “I realized all my friends were going to play football because that’s what they did when they were little kids. I’m decently athletic, so I figured I’d give it a shot. “As soon as I started, I picked it up and I enjoyed it a lot. It was fun. Hitting is kind

of a different dynamic that you can’t really do in any other sport.” While Gomez-Velez also was a wrestler in high school and enjoys the physical side of football, he said his favorite part of the game is grabbing an interception. In that

case, it’s a good thing he plays defensive back for the Titans. Gomez-Velez applied for IWU academically and after he was accepted spoke to the football coach to get into the program. The physics major is studying for his GRE with the hopes of going to grad school and eventually becoming a physicist or a mechanical engineer. On the field, he saw action in two games and made four tackles last season. The Titans started the season 6-0, but lost their last four games

after losing their starting quarterback and backup signall caller to injury late in the season. This fall, Gomez-Velez will be part of a senior class that hopes to finish off what the team started a year ago. “We’re going to have the biggest class of seniors on the football team that we’ve ever had,” he said. “Right now we’re looking great. We have all these seniors that are all ready to lead the team, and I think we can get a conference championship and maybe move on a little bit further.”

ELMHURST – Last season Elmhurst College football made the playoffs for the first time in school history. The Bluejays won a share of the CCIW title for the first time since 1980 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III playoffs. After the season coach Tim Lester moved on to Syracuse to be the quarterbacks coach and Joe Adam, who was the defensive coordinator, replaced him. Among the challenges facing Adam in his first season is replacing running back Scottie Williams, who won the Gagliardi Award for best player in Division III last season.

SUBURBAN LIFE: What did it mean to you to take over as head coach? JOE ADAM: Dream come true. It really has been. It’s been such a blessing and it’s been fun putting it together for me and the coaching staff trying to raise the bar for what we did last year. SL: How do you follow up such a successful year like last year? JA: I think you start by understanding that that’s how the culture is here now and will continue to be. When we set up to put this thing together it was with this very point in mind that we would have a

team that would be able to contend on a consistent basis, not just a one-hit wonder. It took a bit longer than we would like, but we are to the point where we expect to win. SL: How has the transition from assistant to head coach been? JA: I think for me it was an easy transition because I’ve been the recruiting coordinator for almost five seasons now. I was very in tune to what we were looking for, the characteristics and traits we were looking for. We scour the country for not just anybody, but the right people that fit what we’re going to do here. SL: How do you recruit for a Division III program? JA: One of the things that I put a big onus on is work ethic here. I expect and I demand work ethic from the players. It’s going to be work ethic that gets you into successful situations, whether it be here in college or in life. We measure that in a lot of different ways. We measure that in academics, in face-to-face communications and in interactions with our support staff. SL: What makes the CCIW such a competitive conference? JA: It’s Illinois football and it’s the partnership that our league has with our area high school coaches who understand the level of football here and understand the type of

Five year record Year 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008

Overall 10-2 6-4 6-3 4-6 7-3

CCIW 6-1 4-3 3-4 1-6 4-3

players we’re trying to recruit collectively. Plus, the location in the big part of the midwest here where we’re close to major metropolitan areas and a few hour drive from major cities. I think that’s an attraction to kids. SL: Is there anything you’ve tried to change since you took over? JA: The thing that identifies this program is called blue collar mentality. It’s on every piece of paper we hand out. BCM is on every article we issue from a team standpoint. It’s what our identifying mark is this year. It’s teaching kids what the blue collar mentality stands for. SL: How has the program changed since you joined in 2007? JA: It was a very much different culture. This is a complete 180. It’s enjoyable. It’s fun to challenge people and the kids have responded. I give a lot of credit to our kids here. They work like no other group in any level of football I’ve coached.

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.
