two years, and we are celebrating the 50th anniversary, which dates back to 1964. So every two years starting in 1966 they would have it.” After the 1991 show, no one took on the task of organizing, and the event fell by the wayside until show chair and Wheaton resident Barbara Morris suggested in 2013 the group have another needlework show. “They were very enthusiastic,” Morris said. “I think anybody who does stitching of any sort, they’re always proud of what they have and more than willing to share.” Morris said every member
created pieces for the show, and each member will show display an average of seven items. “We have probably 40-plus members, and I would say the vast majority of them have helped with the show in one way or another,” she said. “We not only need to order the poles and the racks for display, but we have people that have to organize the display items in visually pleasing ways.” While the group will continue to change and grow, some things last forever. “They were equally as friendly,” she said. “That has always been the spirit – the camaraderie and the sharing of their knowledge is what interested us because they were always willing to show us what they were doing and how we could learn how to do it. That’s what kept us coming back.”

HINSDALE – Draped around Peg Pelch’s neck is the same name tag she made in 1989 and still proudly wears today. “In the past, we were fined if we didn’t wear our name tag, and we had all these rules that have gotten looser since then,” said the Lisle resident and former president of the Hinsdale Embroiderers’ Guild. That 25-cent fine is just one of the rules that has since vanished in the 50-year history of the Hinsdale Embroiderers’ Guild, which first started when a few local women recruited national needlework instructors to help the group learn new stitching and crafting techniques. Pelch, a member of the organization for the past 46 years, said during the guild’s formative years, newcomers were judged by members council after submitting two original needlework pieces. The entry process, however, did not deter her and fellow member Nora Kampe of La Grange, who knew they wanted to join the instant they attended a Hinsdale Embroiderer’s Guild stitching show. “We were two of the youngest people in the guild at that point and probably not as knowledgeable as most of them, but we’ve learned a lot in 46 years,” Pelch said. “It’s been wonderful.” The Hinsdale Embroiderers’ Guild has come a long way, according to 38-year member Anne Zick, who said the group hasn’t juried a potential member in about 20 years. Instead, the guild now

Local organizations continue mental health advocacy By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Mental illness affects nearly 60 million Americans in a given year. A population too large to ignore, organizations such as the Community Memorial Foundation in Hinsdale, the Rotary Club of La Grange, Lyons Township Mental Health Commission and Proviso Township Mental Health Commission are helping reduce stigmas often associated with mental illness by training and helping residents better understand the effects of the disease. In late 2013, the organizations teamed up with the National Council on Behavioral Health, introducing an education program to the western suburbs that helps others recognize signs of mental illness and substance abuse disorders.
By the numbers

According to the National of mental illness begin by age Alliance on Mental Illness 14; 75 percent by age 24. • 57.7 million Americans experi• Fewer than 33 percent of adults ence a mental health disorder and 50 percent of children with in a given year a diagnosable mental disorder • 1 in 17 lives with a serious menreceive mental health services tal illness such as schizophrein a given year nia, major depression or bipolar • Suicide is the 11th leading disorder cause of death in the United • Anxiety disorders affect about States, and the third-leading 40 million individuals cause of death for people 10 to • 50 percent of all lifetime cases 24 years old.
Mental illness “is a diagnosable illness that affects a person’s thinking, emotional state and behavior and disrupts the person’s ability to work or carry out other daily activities and engage in satisfying personal relationships.” Mental disorders are common in the United States, with one in five adults having a mental disorder in a year, according to the World Health Organization.
“Much like training instructors in CPR or first aid, the program certifies participants to train the public to identify, understand and respond to symptoms of mental illness,” Community Memorial Foundation President/CEO Greg DiDomenico said. After completing the first
course in November 2013, there are now 29 trained local individuals who are able to assist anyone with a mental illness, according to DiDomenico. The participants may not work in a clinical setting, but they now have the knowledge to help and raise awareness for mental illness, he said.
“What you will learn in the eight-hour class is how to recognize signs and symptoms,” DiDomenico said. “It’s a ‘train the trainer model,’ and then what they do is team up providing eight hour training to folks and scattered throughout the suburbs.”
DiDomenico said the training sessions can also be broken up into two four-hour sessions. The National Council for Behavioral Health introduced the Mental Health First Aid education program in the U.S. in 2008. As of January 2013, nearly 100,000 persons in communities across the country have been trained as mental health first aiders. With May deemed Mental Health Awareness Month, DiDomenico said he’s looking forward to hosting training sessions in which former participants lead groups of their own. “Our goal this year is to have 45 of those total and take place throughout the western suburbs,” he said. Mental Health First Aid training sessions are free for everyone, and residents interested scheduling a session should email gchristoff@ cmfdn.org or call 630-654-4729.

Couple deliver baby girl on I-88 in Oak Brook By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com
News to your phone
OAK BROOK – Last week, Liz Shishkoff’s sister was in town and gave Shishkoff and her husband, Ray, a book, suggesting he read the chapter about what to do if you have to give birth in an emergency. “I never got around to the reading,” Ray said Tuesday afternoon at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital. “That would’ve been nice.” Ray did fine without it, when earlier that day the Glen Ellyn couple had to take the birth of their first child into their own hands after Liz went into labor. Monday night, Liz said she felt what seemed like contractions, so the couple started timing them before going to sleep. “Apparently, I was the only one that went to sleep,” Ray said. About 2 a.m. Tuesday, Liz said the contractions intensified. After calling the doctor, the couple hopped in the car

The Shishkoffs parked off east Interstate 88 near Route 83 in Oak Brook. Ray
called the paramedics, but their first born wasn’t going to wait, so he helped deliver their baby. At 4:05 a.m., Ray wrapped up Charlotte River Shishkoff, 7 pounds, 20 inches, in his sweater and handed her to Liz.

Ray said if the couple had known the baby was that close to delivery they wouldn’t have tried to make it to the hospital, but both he and Liz said they were just grateful everyone was healthy and doing well. “Once she was born, it
didn’t matter how long the paramedics took to get there,” Liz said. After the paramedics arrived, the couple was taken to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital. “I called my mom and said, ‘So, it’s a girl ... I kind of just had to deliver her on the side of I-88,’” Ray said, with a laugh. Liz said during the delivery she wasn’t scared and just tried to stay in the moment and get through the situation. The couple said they planned on having two kids close together, but might hold off on that for a little while. “I think when she came out and I wrapped my sweater around her, it kind of hit me all at once,” he said. “It was like a waterfall of emotion or something – it was crazy.”

Civil War Days educate students, parents at Prospect School By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com
Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com
Students watch as Pamela Welcome portrays Harriet Tubman on April 17 during Civil War days at Prospect School in Clarendon Hills.
CLARENDON HILLS – Actress Pamela Welcome visited Prospect School for the fifth-graders’ annual Civil War Days on April 17, giving a moving portrayal famous abolitionist Harriet Tubman. In front of several fifthgrade students and their parent, Welcome retold the Tubman’s life story and how she led thousands of African Americans to freedom by way of the Underground Railroad. “You’ll not only be able to sympathize with what Harriet Tubman went through, but what all people went through during that time,” said Welcome, who portrayed Tubman. Welcome divulged several lesser-known facts and stories about Tubman, including how she received a scar on her forehead. As Welcome explained, a slave was trying to escape
when the overseer caught them and asked Tubman for assistance in his capture. Instead, Tubman blocked the door so the slave could run away. During the ensuing struggle, Tubman was struck in the head and concussed. She went in and out of a coma for several months and later suffered from sleeping spells, narcolepsy and migraines. “Harriet was able to recover, but suffered from things that would affect her for the rest of her life,” she said. “In spite of this injury she was able to go on to do so many wonderful things.” Students and parents also learned that Harriet was responsible for helping thousands of slaves reach freedom in Canada and pass the Mason-Dixon Line to the northern states. Later, Welcome said Tubman became spy, nurse and scout for the Union Army during the Civil War.

Then next week, sneak off to the library to do a little something for yourself. Yes, even a trip to the library can feel like a luxury if you do it right. First, do not check out any 48-page biographies of famous female scientists. Do not register for a story time or pick up a volunteer form for your teenager. Do not check to see if your husband’s favorite author has a new book out. Do not print someone’s homework assignment because there’s no ink in your printer at home. Instead, step inside, take a minute and think about what you would like to do. Would you like to watch a movie that no one else in your family is interested in seeing? (Do it!) Would you like to read a book that doesn’t have pictures of pigeons or directions for an exploding volcano? (It’s OK. We won’t tell.) Would 30 uninterrupted minutes with a stack of glossy magazines feel like three hours? (Right this way, ma’am.) One of the best things about public libraries is that we literally have something for everyone. So, moms, put yourself on the to-do list this week. Make a point of reconnecting with something you love or discovering something new. If the urge to multitask is overtaking you even as you read this brief essay, have no fear. Children who observe their parents reading are more likely to achieve reading success in school. Reading in front of your kids makes them more likely to be strong readers. So, pick up that copy of Donna Tartt’s “The Goldfinch” that you’ve felt too overwhelmed to approach or download Liane Moriarity’s gripping “The Husband’s Secret” from the library’s free eBook collection. Your kids will thank you.

State officials should listen to DuPage mayors’ priorities When mayors Joseph Broda of Lisle and Jeff Pruyn of Itasca stopped by the Suburban Life Media newsroom April 25 to talk about legislative priorities for 2014, there was one common thread across all topics – Springfield’s apparent reluctance to take action on local issues. And these aren’t just any issues – these are the ones where new state laws are required for any change to take place. Broda and Pruyn were visiting in their roles as representatives of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, a group that travels to Springfield periodically to talk with legislators about how state-level matters affect local municipalities. Their top priorities were: • The need for the Legislature to reform public safety pensions. While Illinois took action to reform four statewide pension systems in 2013, and received a lot of attention for doing so, the local public safety pensions – think police and firefighters – were left untouched. While the state pension systems ran aground in part because of the state’s failure to fully fund them, local municipalities that have made their required payments find themselves falling behind anyway as the formulas for determining how much needs to be contributed change – for instance, as life expectancies for pension recipients rise. • Opposing House Bill 5485, which would make “minimum manning” a mandatory topic for discussion in collective bargaining
with firefighters’ unions. There’s nothing currently to stop a union from raising the topic of how many firefighters are hired in a given department, but there’s nothing requiring a municipality to meet any such requests. Cities and villages, the mayors said, consider staffing levels as part of their entire budgeting process – if this bill passes, they could be forced by arbitration to hire more firefighters than they can afford, thereby reducing governmental services elsewhere. The common element in these and other issues? Most local governments work hard to be responsible when it comes to managing taxpayers’ money, but they feel that too often their hands are tied by state laws that require spending beyond what actually is needed. A bill such as the minimum manning proposal sounds well-intentioned but given that federal guidelines already dictate the number of firefighters for each truck, it does seem counterproductive to start adding extra requirements that could lead to more spending without any benefit to residents. It’s bad enough Illinois has put itself in dire straits financially and admirable that Springfield is trying to dig itself out through measures like pension reform for state employees. But we can’t forget local governments are laboring under restrictions that force them to waste dollars they’d rather spend responsibly. Springfield needs to act on these proposals so our local officials can do the jobs we’ve elected them to do.

According to the Suburban Life, if the Downers Grove Village Council approves the new backyard chickens ordinance, the new setback for chicken coops will only be 7 feet from property lines instead of the current 50-foot requirement. All neighbors would also have to give an OK and the $84 dollar permit would last five years before all neighbors would have to consent again. I feel few neighbors want to disagree, regardless of their desire for farm animals next door. The winners here will be foxes, raccoons and fence contractors, once chickens can be kept in virtually any neighborhood in the village. Expect that lots of high fences will be built and tight-lipped neighbors and Realtors will be torn between full disclosure and mums the word.
Resident hopes village will study chicken issue Many schools and daycare providers have regulations prohibiting most mammals and birds from being kept in classrooms in areas where casual contact in proximity with children could lead to airborne or contact-spread parasites or micro-organisms. As the village of Downers Grove moves to reduce barriers to residential backyard chicken keeping, one hopes health and liability analyses have been carried out to be sure that fresh avenues for the spread of disease will not be opened.

I see Westmont is now cutting more services but raising taxes. The streets department will no longer be picking up brush instead waste management will be doing it. And there are much stricter guidelines for putting brush out. The elderly will not be able to manage. Also, I see the village is still in talks to enact a stormwater runoff fee, better known as a tax. Residents are paying enough taxes and cannot afford what we now have. No more new taxes and stop making up new taxes that the village of Westmont residents cannot afford.

dciamprone@shawmedia.com WILLOWBROOK – A 25-year-old Willowbrook man is facing 45 years to life in prison Monday after being convicted of first-degree murder. A jury found Juan Cuellar guilty of first-deg r e e m u r d e r Juan in the shooting Cuellar death of 18-yearold Joshua Holmes, also of Willowbrook, after a five-day trial and about two hours of deliberations, according to a news release from the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office. About 6:45 p.m. Sept. 24, 2012, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office received a report of gunshots fired in the area of Honeysuckle Rose Lane and Lilac Lane in Willowbrook, and later found Holmes bleeding in the roadway, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Holmes died later that night. The Sheriff’s Office said Holmes and two acquaintances were walking west on Honeysuckle Rose Lane when a vehicle driven by Cuellar drove by and slowed down. Holmes began to approach the vehicle, and as he did, Cuellar produced a gun, pointed it out of the passenger side window and shot Holmes five times, four times in the back. Cuellar then left his vehicle and stood over Holmes, taunting him as he lay dying in the street, before leaving the scene, according to the release. Cuellar’s mother, Elva Hernandez, 43, of Willowbrook, entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to two years in prison in April 2013 for her role in attempting to help her son conceal evidence. Cuellar’s next court date is scheduled for May 28 for return of the pre-sentence report and filing of post-trial motions. He faces a sentence of between 45 years to life in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

By Dr. Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D. ~ Doctor of Audiology As you may have experienced, hearing loss can but a strain on relationships. This may cause stress, hurt feelings, and frustration over miscommunication. The first thing someone with a hearing loss needs to do is make an appointment with their trusted audiologist to find out the amount of loss and what they can do to help their situation. Lend your support by attending their appointments and learn as much as you can about their hearing loss, what it’s like to have their loss (our office has a hearing loss simulator to help you experience that), become knowledgeable about their hearing aids and any accessories (like wireless technology) that might increase their communication ability. Your interest in your spouse’s problems and solutions will show that you are invested in improving communication. Remember that communication does not just rely on verbal skills. Most people with hearing problems do not solve all their problems with hearing aids. Everyone uses gestures and facial expressions to aid in interpreting meaning and messages. One of the most important things you can do when talking with your spouse who has a hearing loss is to avoid speaking from another room, face your partner when talking, keep your mouth uncovered (no paper in front of your mouth or chewing gum while speaking). It will help to gently get their attention before beginning a conversation by either speaking their name or gently tapping them. If a mishap in communication occurs, here are a few strategies to get you back on track: • Rephrase rather than repeat what you said. Sometimes it will be easier for your spouse to understand you if you choose different words.
• Move to a different environment with less background noise. • Be sure to speak clearly and slowly, but naturally. • Use available listening devices that may be available with their hearing aid technology like mini microphones. • Don’t get frustrated and say, “Never mind, it’s not important.” That might make them feel like you are dismissing them. • Be patient. Do your best to laugh it off, then rephrase what you said rather than becoming upset. Keep in mind that your spouse may have extra difficulty hearing when they are stressed, tired, upset, or ill. Talk with your local audiologist to begin the first step, if you haven’t already, to identify the hearing problem and possible solutions. You’ll be glad you did. ~Adapted with permission from www.healthyhearing.com

OBITUARIES LAVERGNE G. NOVAK GEORGE J. NOVAK LaVergne and George Novak, married for 71 years, departed this world within three weeks of each other: LaVergne on April 8, and George on April 24. Lavergne Novak was born on April 24, 1920, in Chicago, to Joseph Przybylski and Gussie nee Bubenik. By 1929, her mother had remarried, and Lavergne was adopted by John Bell. She attended Hauser Middle School in Riverside, Illinois, and RiversideBrookfield and Oak Park-River Forest high schools. After school, she worked for the phone company. George was born on February 23, 1919, in the Post Office/grocery store where his mother worked, in Chicago. His parents were Joseph F. Novak, a Czechoslovakian immigrant, and Millie nee Jilk. George Novak and LaVergne Bell married on February 5, 1943. Not long after, George served in World War II, with the United States occupation forces in Italy. He recently participated in the Honor Flight, in commemoration of his service. George worked as an engineer for Western Electric for 42 years, retiring in 1983. He received multiple patents for his design work during his career. The couple had much in common, and yet they were distinctly individual. They had two children, Donald and Janet (Tarek Husayni). They shared the love of eight grandchildren, Deanna, Lena, Jad, Maya, and Ramsey Husayni, and April, Helen and Hannah Novak. They both loved the outdoors. In their younger years, they enjoyed backwoods canoeing and camping in the northern United States and Canada. In later years, they spent their summers in a small cabin on Razorback Lake, in the north woods of Sayner, Wisconsin. LaVergne also enjoyed safaris she had taken to Africa, and decorated several walls in her Riverside, Illinois home with African memorabilia. LaVergne loved the simple life, eschewing modern technology for the art of letter-writing. She had long-time pen pals from different areas of the United States. George loved to invent things. His cabin at Razorback Lake, in Sayner, Wisconsin, was a testament to his

n, w creativity. He had a love for knowledge, and embraced technology, especially that which made it possible for him to stay in touch with his grand-children. George had four siblings, all of whom, along with their spouses, preceded him in death: Ella (Edward), Edwin (Ruth), Sylvia (James Kott), and Mildred (Harry Kopack). LaVergne leaves behind one sister, Gloria (the late Ed McCabe). George and LaVergne were also the fond uncle and aunt of many. A memorial service for George and LaVergne Novak will be scheduled for this summer. Please contact the family for information.

Itasca Mayor Jeff Pruyn (from left), Lisle Mayor Joe Broda and DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference Executive Director Mark Baloga meet Friday with Suburban Life Media staff members to discuss legislative issues.
Mayors: Public safety pensions unsustainable By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Mayors from DuPage County are back after lobbying Springfield for public safety pension reform earlier this month, but they hope to keep the topic in the forefront until lawmakers enact change. Itasca Mayor and DuPage County Mayors and Managers President Jeffery Pruyn, Lisle Mayor Joesph Broda and others in the organization said police and fire pensions have become unsustainable as the unfunded portions of the funds have ballooned in the past decade. The group is looking to increase employee contributions and increase the retirement age or years of work required to receive the pension. The mayors also want to curb the yearly compounded 3 percent cost of living adjustment, which they name as the biggest culprit. “Basically, policemen retire in their early 50s, and 20 years later their pensions double,” Pruyn said. The mayors said the compounded increase is exacerbated by sweeteners added over time by Illinois lawmakers and the fact the number of retired workers are catching up with the number of current employees. The result, they said, is between 2004 and 2010, municipal contributions to public safety pensions more than doubled, from $247 to $511 million, but average funding levels dropped from about 64 percent to 55 percent. As the unfunded liabili-
ty grows, larger percentages of municipal property taxes go toward paying the annual pension contribution. For example, all of Burr Ridge’s municipal property taxes now go toward paying public safety pensions, DuPage County Mayors and Managers Executive Director Mark Baloga said. Opponents to the reforms touted by the DuPage County Mayors and Managers claim floundering pension funds are not caused by workers who contributed their share but by municipalities that underfunded the plans, poor investment returns and inflated actuarial predictions for returns. The mayors added if the legislature does not immediately reform public safety pensions, they need to at least remove a penalty provision. The provision states by 2015, municipalities must fund pensions to a level of 90 percent, amortized to 2040, or risk having local revenue garnished. “We need to see a delay of the trigger date of that penalty provision,” Baloga said. “If they’re going to kick (reform) down the road, they need to kick the whole thing down the road.” Pruyn, Baloga and Broda met April 25 with Suburban Life Media’s editorial staff to discuss pension reform and the group’s opposition to a “minimum manning” bill, which would make fire department manning levels a mandatory subject of firefighter contract arbitration proceedings. The DuPage County Mayors and Managers names both issues as 2014 legislative priorities.
They resist the “minimum manning” bill because requiring a municipality to maintain a certain number of firefighters could force it to hire more than they could afford, Pruyn and Broda said. “We could end up having to cut equipment,” Broda said. “You might have the personnel but not the equipment for them to use. “We actually see it as damaging to public safety.” During the meeting with the editorial staff, Broda, Pruyn and Baloga mentioned another legislative issue – giving nonhome-rule municipalities more freedom in how they expend hotel-motel taxes. Currently, non home-rule communities only can spend their hotel-motel taxes on tourism-related expenses. The DuPage County Mayors and Managers supports a bill which would allow nonhome-rule communities to place up to 50 percent of those revenues in the general fund, and the other 50 percent or more would remain in tourism. “The village of Itasca, we have 8,700 people and 1,100 hotel rooms,” Pruyn said. “We get over $1 million a year in hotel tax which, right now, and I can’t even use to fix the street in front of the hotel.” Broda and Pruyn said even if the law was changed, they likely still would devote the majority of the funds to tourism but would benefit from the added flexibility for a portion of the funds. “I’d be foolish if I used 50 percent ... for general revenue when I’ve got three hotels. I want to keep them turning,” Broda said.

OAK BROOK – Almost one year ago, a referendum to construct a new District 53 school on the Sports Core property in Oak Brook failed to pass. That event has now come full circle as Brook Forest Elementary School reported an increased capacity issue at the Butler School District 53 at its April Board of Education meeting. “The reality is, if we continue to find increase in enrollment, since we didn’t get a new school with more capacity and some of the things we wanted, we would be much more hard pressed to accept students from outside District 53 if our population continues to increase,” District 53 School Board President Alan Hanzlik said. It’s a stark turnaround from previous school years, when the district’s enrollment
was on the decline, Hanzlik said, adding only 10 percent of Oak Brook residences sent children to District 53 schools before this school year. However, something changed during the 2013-14 academic calendar. “[Enrollment] began to pick up this year quite noticeably,” he said. “As we looked at what could be attributing to it – and we’ve talked to some real estate agents – it looks like a combination of factors.” The first factor may be Oak Brook’s increasingly warmer real estate market, Hanzlik said. “While I can’t confirm how exactly, I was told by real estate agents [April 23] that 15 new homes are going on the market this week,” he said. As a result, younger families are now moving into the area, and several of these families

have noticed Brook Forest’s unique, all-day kindergarten programming, which will begin in the fall. “We’ve had a number of new families inquiring about that,” he said. “A lot of couples – with both spouses working full time jobs – want to have an all-day facility for their kids, so we think that is also attracting a lot of people to the village,” he said. While multiple communities have expressed interest in annexing into the district, only one of those communities has been successful. “It’s a small segment of homes, but next year there are 13 homes that will join our district that were in a different district before,” he said.

But adding communities means less classroom space. Currently, Brook Forest enrolls about 450 students. As a result, the classroom size at Brook Forest is 40 percent “less than optimal for traditional instruction,” according to the April board report. The average size of the 100-wing (kindergarten, reading, computer labs) is 800-square-feet. The average in the 200-wing (4-5 grade) is 950-square-feet and the average in the 300-wing (1-3 grade) is 750-square-feet. In addition, classrooms do not have builtin storage or shelving, according to the report. “What we’re doing right now is we have $6 million in spendable reserves that we’ve accumulated over the course of many years in the hopes that we could invest that into a new building,” he said. “Since that’s not happening, we’re taking that $6 million over the next three years and we’re spending it on the two current facilities.” The district has not yet established a timetable when the Brook Forest capacity and enrollment issues will be revisited.

By DANNY CIAMPRONE HINSDALE – A short-term solution addressing issues with the Hinsdale Middle School roof was unanimously approved to go out for bid Monday by the District 181 Board of Education. But a long-term solution is yet to be determined and will be determined with help from the community. After an ARCON Architects, Inc. assessment, the short-term project will cost about $350,000 and addresses five major roof issues, including the top wall, ice dam, metal seam defect, built-in gutter and existing storm drainage problems. The roof’s problems were amplified during the previous five months because of the extreme winter conditions as well as the mold remediation, drywall repair and replacement and extensive cleaning that simultaneously occurred throughout the facility.
By the numbers Hinsdale Middle School expenditures from July 2000 through Dec. 12, 2013 • Rentals of portables – $91,221 • 2000-2002 remodeling of second floor – $2,417,183 • Busloop, roofing, portable classroom – $290,568 • HVAC project – $4,735,894 • Busloop – $781,796 • Portables – $190,957 • HVAC – $97,335 • Portables – $47,568 • Furniture – $35,038 • Elevator – $23,463 • Building repairs – $1,423,904 • Miscellaneous equipment – $58,386 Total: $10,193,313 Since 2000, $10 million has been invested in the building to mitigate the challenges – a figure that does not include the recent mold remediation and water intrusion expenses.
“My understanding is, even if we implement these short-term solutions in the next year, we could still have problems and issues arise,” District 181 School Board Vice President Jill Vorobiev said. “So how much are we decreasing all likelihood of those problems arising if we spend this $350,000?” ARCON Firm Principal Steve Mulvihill said by implementing the short-term solutions, the district would be solving “50 to 55 percent” of all leaks. He added with the recent weather experienced in the area, it is imperative that the district completes the shortterm fix by November. Although no leaks have sprung as a result of the recent rain, the primary focus is now addressing the five target problems before next winter, Mulvihill said.

All Dogs Should Come With A Vacuum Cleaner Attached!!!! Really I don’t know how my dog isn’t bald. I vacuum every day. Literally every day.
We have a deshedding treatment that cuts down on the amount of hair that will end up in your home and in your vacuum Just a few qualifiers: We ask that…
I think all shedding animals that live in a home should have a vacuum attached to them like their own personal Hair Zamboni.
You live in or close to Downers Grove Your pet is groomed regularly And your pet is not older than 8
I hate when I get off my couch and the shirt I’ve had on for minutes is covered in yellow hair (I have yellow lab)
We used to offer this to anyone but we were getting people visiting from Florida wanting this service that doesn’t seem fair…right? OR we would see dogs that were groomed once a year who were full of dread locks
My other favorite thing is when my one year old drops his binky (pacifier ) on the rug next to the couch. Next thing I know he looks like Groucho Marx without the glasses. (I have a blk lab too) I’m about to shave my dogs bald! Yeah… the hair doesn’t stop falling out... it’s just smaller so you don’t see it as much So next time when the one year old falls to ground he’ll come up looking like Mark Harmon with a 5 o’clock shadow… Enough of me ranting… If I can ask you a question…? How would you like a Free Deshedding Treatment on the house? If you have a dog and you would like to cut down on all the hair in your home, I have a solution for you.
We are looking for dog owners who want a great styling and service for their pet. I am willing to do this for free to show you our skills. As always your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Vorobiev retorted, wondering if it’s necessary for the district to begin the repairs during the spring and summer. “You want to construct your roof repairs during the summer when the kids aren’t here,” Mulvihill said. “I don’t think it’s a logical option to wait until September or October to implement some of these things.” Still, questions loom regarding the overall usability of Hinsdale Middle School. District 181 Facilities Committee representative Julie Bryant said one year from now the district will be at a crossroads, leaving two options: there will be enough community and financial support to pursue a new middle school building, or the existing building will finally be deemed a safe and adequate learning space. After Monday’s unanimous vote (School Board Presi-

The district plans to move forward and survey the community for input on long-term solutions.

Restaurant reviews
Adventure beckons at HB Jones in Elmhurst ELMHURST – As I approached HB Jones, I only had one goal in mind: to climb Mount Everest. Let me explain. My research into the Elmhurst restaurant called HB Jones, aka Hamburger Jones, started last month. Normally, I rarely research an unfamiliar restaurant beforehand, other than to see if there’s a dress code, but the stories surrounding HB Jones and its menu are as entertaining as the eatery itself. A backstory has been created around the adventures of fictional character Horatio B. Jones. One tale has him descending Mount Everest until his expedition is snowed in, and then credits his “unyielding hunger for his favorite food” for inspiring his trek to safety. Back at base camp, he was rewarded with a burger of “Everest proportions.” For my adventure, I checked the online menu and went to the burger section where I saw the “Jones Climbs Everest” burger – three 10-ounce patties, cheeses and an array of toppings, accompanied by fries. This was the burger waiting for Jones after he returned, and if I finished one, I would get my name on the wall and a T-shirt. At that moment, it became my goal to consume that burger and make the metaphorical climb. As I walked in with hunger on my side, the first thing I noticed was the atypical setting. The restaurant features a greenhouse-style section, where light floods through walls of windows to turn the expansive dining area into a creatively inviting space. The restaurant is replete with big screen TVs and colorful decor touches. As staff escorted us to a table, I started having second thoughts about my contemplated burger challenge, when I saw the copious amounts of food others were enjoying. It wasn’t just the burgers, but the sandwiches, too, that

More than 20 sauces provide tantalizing options to shake up flavor profiles. Beyond meat-dominated dishes including ribs, the restaurant has a variety of choices, such as a salad bar, complemented by an array of craft beer and draft options. The connecting pub
room whips up cocktails and milkshakes. One almost gave me brain freeze, because I couldn’t put down the rich vanilla concoction. After the last slurp, I knew I wouldn’t make the summit of Everest on this visit – mostly because I couldn’t pass up an appetizer and shake. For added decadence, the menu also highlights shakes fortified with rum.
To see more photos from HB Jones, find this story online at PlanitLife.com/mysterydiner I started with the zesty chicken strip appetizer, and then ordered the “Country Road to a Coronary” burger, a tasty melding of melted cheddar and juicy beef amped up by the creamy yolk of a sunnyside-up egg. I couldn’t resist picking mac and cheese as a satisfying side dish, which helped push the summit just out of reach.
Meanwhile, my mom worked on her British burger, named for criss-crossed bacon strips meant to resemble the Union Jack flag, and commented that the meat was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of bacon. We finished off the meal with a piece of killer chocolate cake. The enthusiastic friendliness of the staff and the warm atmosphere make it a fun destination. Not only do I suggest you check out HB Jones for the addictive comfort food, I vow to return by this summer to try for the Everest burger, and claim that T-shirt and my name on the wall as “Mr. E. Dyner” with all the glory that goes with it. I could also go for another milkshake.

Austin Butler delivers a pitch in an April 24 game against Hinsdale South. Butler’s strong performance on the mound helped lift the Red Devils to a 2-0 victory against the Hornets. Gregg Peters - For Shaw Media
‘Something special’ By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DARIEN – Austin Butler turned in a sparkling pitching performance in a rivalry game against Hinsdale South. But the Hinsdale Central senior shrugged off any credit after the Red Devils defeated the Hornets 2-0 on April 24. “I felt good,” Butler said. “Our team knew that this was a big one, a big rivalry. Our defense really stepped up and helped me out on the mound. Everyone really worked together and we played really well today.” While Butler deflected the praise, Central head coach Jason Ziemer and South skipper Paul Hoel singled out his performance. “I thought it was by far his best performance and our best [pitching] performance of the year,” Ziemer said.
Hinsdale South’s Don Buonavolanto leans away from a close pitch during the April 24 game against Hinsdale Central. “When a pitcher shuts a team out and completes the game, that’s something special. That doesn’t happen often.” “He pitched a very good ball game,” Hoel said. “We got ourselves in good spots, we just couldn’t get that timely hit. But credit him, he pitched very well.”
Butler got all the support he would need in the third inning. Jacob White led off with a double and moved to third on Matt Mullner’s groundout before scoring on Ryan Haff’s sacrifice fly. Max Peters then drew a walk and came around to score on Trent Barnett’s single.
Pitcher Butler sparks Hinsdale Central’s victory against South
Butler scattered six hits and seven strikeouts over seven innings. Hinsdale South advanced runners to third base in the first, second and sixth innings, but Butler got out of the jams each time to help lead the Red Devils to the rivalry win. “Every game we play, we play with a purpose, and this game definitely is a big rivalry and is definitely important to us,” Butler said. For Hinsdale South, it was another in a line of narrow losses. The loss dropped the Hornets to 7-6 overall; those six losses came by combined eight runs. “We’ve played a lot of games that have looked like that – low scoring,” Hoel said. “Actually, if we scored four runs in every game we played, we’d be undefeated. Our pitching has been great and our defense has been good, we just
haven’t had the big hit. But we’ve also seen good pitchers. That’s just the way the schedule has fallen, but it will make us better later.” After the win against South, Central went on to decisive wins against Proviso West in a West Suburban Silver Conference doubleheader Saturday. The Red Devils won 16-1 and 20-0. Nick Senicka tossed a no-hitter in the first game. South took a pair of West Suburban Gold games against Addison Trail, winning, 5-2 on April 25 and 4-3 on Saturday. But the Hornets suffered another close loss to the Blazers on Wednesday, falling 1-0. The Hornets start a crucial WSG series against Downers Grove South today, and the series continues at 2 p.m. Saturday and at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Darien. The Mustangs are undefeated in the league at 9-0; the Hornets sit at 7-2.

Summer football guidlines won’t change much for Hindale Central, South By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com When the Illinois High School Association introduced changes to preseason football practice in May of 2013 in hopes of making the sport safer, some local coaches predicted that was just the beginning. Turns out they were right. Last week, the IHSA announced that a by-law which eliminates full pads and full contact (full contact is defined as football drills or game situations where live action occurs) during the 25 days of summer camp passed by a 170-87 vote by principals and athletic directors from across the state. Practices with helmets and shoulders pad will also now be limited to 14 hours A week and a maximum of 15 out of the 25 days of the summer practice schedule.
“We believe this revision minimizes risk to football student-athletes, while allowing for the teaching of appropriate fundamentals,” IHSA executive director Marty Hickman said on the IHSA website. “This is another important step in making high school football as safe as possible, while putting all of our schools on an even playing field regarding football activities during the summer.” Although the IHSA changed the rules regarding summer practice, the move won’t change the way most coaches do things during the summer. For Hinsdale South and head coach Mike Barry, it means one drill is off the table. “It’s pretty much what we’ve been doing minus a little bit of tackling,” Barry said. “We have a segment we do a couple times a week where we
get in a competitive goal line situation. That’s going to have to be tweaked.” Aside from the goal line drill, the Hornets by and large avoided physical contact in years past. “The last thing any coach wants is to get guys banged up over the summer,” Barry said. “This just defines the way kids can contact each other. Wrapping up [but not tackling] is pretty much what we’ve been doing.” Enforcing the rules falls on coaches and athletic directors. Hinsdale Central AD Dan Jones is finalizing his search for a new head coach and said no matter who the coach is, there will be plan in place to follow the rules. “We’ll all have to work out a procedure so ADs are able to keep track and make sure everybody is working within the
guidelines,” Jones said. The new rules won’t bring any changes for Downers Grove South. “It’s not going to effect us at all,” head coach Mark Molinari said. “We never put kids in full pads. We’ve always done air drills [without tackling], but in the summer we’ve never gone to the ground.” While Molinari said the change won’t effect his team’s practice routine and he’s all for player safety, he did also play devil’s advocate on the other side of the issue. “I think kids are safer with full pads on, so if you’re not doing full contact and going to the ground, then what is the issue?” he said. “But we’ll follow the rules and do things as we’re supposed to do them.”

NATIONAL NURSES WEEK
Meet
Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale was born May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy, and was named for the city in which she was born. Her parents were from England, and they were on a tour of Europe when Florence was born. Florence was expected to follow the path of other young, wealthy English women and marry, have children, and focus on a home life and a social life. But Florence was extremely bright and had a strong passion for helping others. She decided the best way she could do that would to be a nurse. In 1851, her dream was achieved, and she went off to nursing school in Germany. When the Crimean War broke out, Nightingale heard about the horrible, unsanitary conditions of the hospitals on the front, and of all the wounded and sick soldiers who were in desperate need of better medical care. When she was offered a position as a nurse at Scutari, a military hospital in Turkey, she set off to help.
While Nightingale was at Scutari, she organized the hospital to ensure better care for the soldiers. She kept detailed records and statistics, and she discovered that the cleaner and more sanitized the conditions of the hospital were, the more people lived. She knew she had discovered something that could change hospitals and health care for the better. When she returned home to England, she helped open a professional school of nursing for women, where a new generation of nurses were trained in her own theories of health care, sanitation and nursing. Her inluence started to spread, as nurses trained in her tradition were practicing her theories and training other nurses. Nightingale continued to write to spread her ideas, and she died after a long life at the age of 90. To this day, Nightingale is remembered as a reformer and nursing pioneer. — Anne Raih, MCN
