VILLA PARK – The Save the Deicke Home Dance on Saturday raised more than $16,000 that will help the nonprofit keep its doors open a little longer. The dance was hosted by the Villa Park Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2801 and included dinner, live music and dancing. The Deicke Home, 1005 E. Division St, in Lombard, is
a group residential home for adults with developmental disabilities. The home recently announced that it is in jeopardy of closing. For the past few months, the community, including schools, has rallied to raise money for the home. The home was initially set to close March 31, but as of last week, the home announced it had raised enough money to remain open through July. The Deicke Home has been open since 1983.

Police investigate hit-and-run death of teen By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – A Willowbrook High School junior was killed Saturday evening in a hitand-run crash along Interstate 88 near Joslin. Emilio Perez, 17, of Villa Park was pronounced dead on the scene around 9 p.m. Saturday, said Brian Gustafson, Rock Island County coroner. “An autopsy was completed, and preliminary results indicate Emilio died from a traumatic neck injury,” Gustafson said. Perez was walking along the roadway between 7:15 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday when he was struck by a passing vehicle, Illinois State Trooper Jason Wilson said. The driver fled the scene of the crash. Matthew Piechalak - mpiechalak@shawmedia.com Perez’s vehicle was found along the highway, about a mile The words “RIP Emilio” and dozens of condolence messages from peers of Emilio Perez, 17, are visible Tueseast of the crash area with an day on a large rock outside Willowbrook High School in Villa Park.

A large rock outside the high school was painted with the words “RIP Emilio.” Willowbrook High School has implemented support services for students, staff members and any other individual in need of assistance, according to a news release Tuesday afternoon from DuPage High School District 88. “Perez was a true Willowbrook Warrior in every sense of the word and was involved throughout Willowbrook High School,” principal Dan Krause said in the release. “We are deeply saddened by this loss, and Perez will always be a part of Willowbrook High School.” Anyone who may have been driving in the area of the crash and saw something is urged to call the Illinois State Police at 309-752-4915. “Anything, no matter how seemingly insignificant, might make the world of difference,” Wilson said. Perez’s wake was held Thursday at Steuerle Funeral Home. His funeral will be at 10 a.m. Friday at St. Alexander Church, 300 S. Cornell Ave., in Villa Park.
SUNGLASSES: BEYOND UV PROTECTION In order to provide your eyes with adequate protection against potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, sunglasses should say “99-100% UV absorbent” or “UV 400” on their labels. Beyond that, there are several features unrelated to UV protection that may also prove helpful. For instance, polarized lenses cut down on glare caused by light reflected off water and ice. Mirrored lenses can also be helpful in very bright conditions. Photochromic lenses, which lighten and darken in accordance with the ambient light, make it easier to go indoors with your sunglasses still on. Gradient lenses are shaded darker at the top than bottom, which helps shield light from above while making it easier to see the horizon and below. Whether you need prescription eyewear or non-prescription sunglasses or safety glasses, there is a wide selection to choose from at SKOWRON EYE CARE. Some of our brands include Ray Ban, Fossil, Gucci, Silhouette, Nine West, Juicy Couture, Coach, Maui Jim, and Cole Haan. We are happy to help you select the eyewear that fits properly and is right for your face shape and skin tone. To schedule an appointment, please give us a call today. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision. P.S. Photochromic lenses are well suited to individuals who wear prescription lenses and do not want to switch to prescription sunglasses when they go outdoors.

ELMHURST – Gov. Pat Quinn announced $2.9 million of a capital investment for a bridge replacement project in DuPage County. The Jobs Now! capital construction project is part of Quinn’s agenda to create jobs and drive Illinois’ economy forward. A bridge carrying Illinois Route 64/North Avenue over Salt Creek in Villa Park and Elmhurst will be replaced for $2,907,563 by Illinois Constructors Corporation of Elburn, the lowest of six bidders. The project will be overseen by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The project is part of Quinn’s $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! program, which will support more than 439,000 jobs over six years, according to a news release. Villa Park recently ap-
proved an intergovernmental agreement for $50,035, which will be used to fund any portion of the project that involves the south end of the intersection along Villa Avenue and North Avenue, said Vydas Juskelis, public works director for Villa Park. “When they redo the bridge, they’ll redo the geometrics of the intersection, which could impact traffic signals,” Juskelis said. “Anything they touch south of the intersection on Villa Avenue is the village’s jurisdiction.” Elmhurst also is involved in the agreement, and has committed just under $20,000 toward any similar traffic signal changes, according to Assistant City Manager Mike Kopp. IDOT is expected to hold a pre-construction meeting next week, where officials from Villa Park and Elmhurst will receive more information on the project, Juskelis said.

Heroin forum calls for ‘sense of urgency’ By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – Calling the heroin situation in the area “extreme,” Willowbrook High School Principal Dan Krause said the community needs to ban together to fight the drug epidemic. “This has a direct impact on our sons and daughters,” Krause said during a DuPage High School District 88 Heroin Awareness forum Tuesday evening at Willowbrook High School. “If we’re going to change the direction of lives, we have to do this together.” The presentation, “Heroin Awareness: Impact of Heroin in DuPage County,” featured a panel of six speakers and drew roughly four dozen individuals, including district administrators, staff, parents and students. Krause, serving as emcee for the event, said Willowbrook is not immune to drug abuse. “We don’t have heroin addicts in the bathrooms that we

Heroin Awareness Presentation
Piccoli, director of the DuPage Metropolitan Enforcement Group (DuMeg) In 2009, only 6 percent of drug purchases in the county were heroin-related. Last year, more than a quarter of all drug purchases involved heroin, Piccoli said. Heroin, which is synthesized from the poppy plant, is extremely addictive and dangerous, DuPage County Coroner Dr. Richard Jorgensen said. “It is extremely destructive to your body and mind,” Jorgensen said. “It changes the structure of your life and it is in every town in DuPage County.” Heroin overdose deaths in the county have risen steadily, from 23 in 2007 to 46 last year, Jorgensen said. There is no longer that stereotypical “junkie” user, panelists said. The addiction to opiate-based prescription drugs and the availability of refined, powder versions of heroin are making it easier
for anyone to fall prey to addiction. “The demographics have changed,” Piccoli said.
Personal battles Louie Miceli had it all, said his cousin, Angelica Selvaggio, a co-founder of the LTM Heroin Awareness & Support Foundation. Remembered as a charismatic, fun-loving football player at Driscoll Catholic High School in Addison, Miceli’s personal story was cut short in August 2012 when he overdosed on heroin. Miceli was introduced to pain pills following a sports injury, and from there, his addiction “spiraled,” said his mother, Felicia Miceli. The LTM foundation was founded to remember her son, but also to provide awareness and education to teach families how heroin enters lives. “It’s my hope that no one has to live this nightmare,”

Gore, 29, told the audience. After his first brush with heroin, Gore was “hooked” and what followed was a series of life-altering choices, including stints in prison for burglary and being robbed at gunpoint. “I lost my dignity, my self-respect and trust,” said Gore, who is more than two years clean, but also knows he will carry the label of “heroin addict” with him for the rest of his life. His message to parents looking to educate their children on the dangers of heroin: Don’t comfort them. “You hurt them with the truth,” he said. “There’s got to be a sense of urgency to this.”

The town that used to be called Utopia As I have mentioned in previous columns, one of my hobbies is the study of the history and development of municipalities which lie within the boundaries of York Township. In past columns I have written about Elmhurst, Lombard, and Villa Park. In this column I will tell you about the City of Oakbrook Terrace, based on what I have learned from various sources, including the Oakbrook Terrace Historical Society and the City of Oakbrook Terrace website. Oakbrook Terrace is a residential and commercial city located about 17 miles west of Chicago’s Loop. The current COMMUNITY mayor is Tony Ragucci. VOICE When the Native AmerJohn W. icans who inhabited the Valle area were forced to move westward in the early 1830s, white settlers, mainly of English and later German extraction, established homesteads in the Salt Creek area. A combination creamery and cheese factory was built by Albert Knapp at what was called “the Corners” in 1873. The community that grew up around “the Corners” – now Butterfield and Midwest Roads – came to be called Utopia in 1881. The area remained agricultural well into the 20th century. Suburban growth began soon after World War II, when the community was subdivided. Commercial development was started along two major eastwest thoroughfares, Roosevelt Road and 22nd Street. In 1958, the area that was also known as Elmhurst Countryside, and numbered 1,228 residents, voted to incorporate as Utopia by a vote of 331 for to 164 against. In 1958, Utopia included in its acreage the proposed site of a large shopping center, but the neighboring village of Oak Brook annexed the center and its commercial properties with state approval in 1959. That year, a disappointed Utopia changed its name to Oakbrook Terrace, indicating its proximity to the soon-to-be Oak Brook Shopping Center. In the 1980s, the community rapidly developed its commercial areas, including construction of DuPage County’s tallest office building, the 31-story Oakbrook Terrace Tower near Routes 38 and 83. Also during that decade, Drury Lane Theatre, a popular dinner playhouse, was built. Lincoln Centre, a large office complex, was constructed along Butterfield Road in the 1990s. By 2000, when population reached 2,300, most of the city’s available land had been developed for either residential or commercial purposes. It has been my privilege to have lived in Oakbrook Terrace for over 34 years and I am honored to have been elected to serve 3 terms as an Alderman on the Oakbrook Terrace City Council from 1989 to 2001.

Sophia Gustafson, 6, tees off of the fifth hole among the stacks of the “Tee Time @ the Library” miniature golf event at the Villa Park Public Library.
How do you get youngsters to embrace their local library? Sometimes you have to get creative, like the Villa Park Public Library’s recent “Tee Time @ the Library” event. Children were invited to play some mini throughout the library, and the event was a fundraiser for the library’s early literacy program. Sounds like a win-win. More than 40 teams participated in the recent District 88 Foundation’s Dennis Doyle 3-on-3 Classic Basketball Tournament at Willowbrook High School, and in the process they raised $4,000 for the foundation and the annual Dennis Doyle Memorial Scholarship. Clearly, the event was a slam dunk.

The village of Lisle is badly in need of some new small business developments. So it was very disturbing to see animal activists associated with the Chicago Chapter of Companion Animals, Animal Protection Society and some members of the West Suburban Humane Society in Downers Grove have succeeded in closing the Puppy Parlor in Lisle. This has been because of their annoying demonstrations, causing the Puppy Parlor to go out of business, leaving yet another vacant storefront in Lisle. I’m sure PETA is very proud of these annoying activists’ behavior here in Lisle. A governmental investigation conducted as recently as September 2013 showed no signs of mistreatment or neglect to dogs on the Puppy Parlor property.

I’m appalled Shaw Media would endorse Bruce Rauner for the Republican governor nominee. He’s independently wealthy, yes he is. He’s got no problem accepting tons of money from his wealthy friends whom he plans to bring down with him to Springfield to pad the company coffers they all have interests in. Also, “standing up the powerful public employees unions who have resisted change” – that is a wrong statement. They resist change meaning they don’t want budgets, balanced off the backs of stealing their pensions. It’s ridiculous. This man lives in the 1 percent wealthy tax bracket. He has no idea how everybody else lives. Just because he was a successful businessman means nothing about running a government and compromise. It’s his way or the highway. It doesn’t work.

children’s bookstore in Elmhurst has opened its doors. Risky? Yes, but so full of hope and ambition, it moves me. It gives me hope that my kids will know the smell of a bookstore; feel the excitement and wonder of stories written for them. Owner Carolyn Carrillo opened A Book Above with a similar mindset. She knows kids need a quiet place of their own. In our busy, technological world, children are over-stimulated and often lack avenues to find solace. A Book Above, also created its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called Reader’s Ignite. They just finished a book drive for the kids affected by the tornadoes in Washington, Ill. Carolyn Carrillo also believes in developing early literacy skills. She is well-versed in the research of early literacy skills and the benefits it has on children. When I am in A Book Above, I think of the rare few like Carolyn and I think, “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not.” – Dr. Seuss. Bookstores awaken wonder, ignite imagination and better us in a way that nothing else can.

To own and operate a kid’s community bookstore complete with white lights in the windows, small rocking chairs, a place of wonder.

ELMHURST – Visitors to downtown Elmhurst on Sunday may be looking for a pot of gold as hundreds of bearded leprechauns race around town. Racers in the inaugural Lucky Leprechaun 5K will race the streets of downtown Elmhurst beginning at 9 a.m. Free race shirts, leprechaun hats and beards were given out to the first wave of registrants for the event. While runners, walkers and even strollers will participate, onlookers and cheerleaders can enjoy John Corcoran playing the bagpipes across the start line. The award-winning Trinity Irish Dancers also will perform on the main stage adjacent to City Centre just after the start of the race, according to the race website. The race steps off and finishes at York and Schiller streets, making a loop around the west side of town. The first-, second- and third-place overall finishers will be recognized as well as first-, second- and third-places in 14 age groups. The race benefits the Elmhurst YMCA.

We are racking up $17 trillion in debt and counting, $150,000 per taxpayer. If we continue on this path, we will be doomed. We are discouraging rather than encouraging entrepreneurs and job creators. More than half of college graduates are under employed or unemployed, businesses big or small are not hiring and have no incentive to hire due to Obamacare.

New survey finds the top 10 fittest baby boomer cities
Many of these symptoms are found in people who’s thyroid doesn’t function properly.

n the past, older Americans may have accepted weight gain and reduced mobility as part of aging, but not so for baby boomers. As part of the Fit After 50 campaign, the American Physical Therapy Association and MoveForwardPT.com named the Top 10 Fittest Baby Boomer Cities in America. Where does your city fall? The survey “examined the top 50 metropolitan areas in the U.S. to determine which cities were best suited to helping baby boomers stay healthy and fit as they age,” said Erin Wendel, senior media relations specialist with the American Physical Therapy Association. Criteria included life expectancy, cardiovascular health and stress levels of boomers, as well as local health care and fitness resources. The fittest cities are: 1. San Jose, Calif. 2. Minneapolis 3. San Francisco 4. Denver 5. Boston 6. Salt Lake City 7. Washington, D.C. 8. Seattle 9. San Diego 10. Raleigh, N.C. It seems where you live really can affect your health. “Boomers who live in the fittest baby boomer cities have access to a variety of resources that can have a distinct impact on their health, but they only make a difference if they are used,” said Wendel. The survey found significant differences between the fittest and least fit cities -- Louisville, Ky., ranked No. 50. “The largest differences we saw between one and 50 were the percentage of people diagnosed with hypertension (47.3 percent in San Jose and 63.4 percent in Louisville, a difference of more than 16 percent); life expectancy (82.48 years in San Jose and 77.03 years in Louisville, a difference of more than five years); and the percentage of people ages 50-65 with health insurance (91.8 percent in San Jose and 85.1 percent in Louisville, a difference of 6.7 percent),” Wendel said. The fittest cities allow boomers the opportunity to keep moving as they age. “Parks, gyms and mass transit options in a city offer the opportunity for baby boomers to stay in motion, which physical therapists will tell you is the best way to stay young and fit,” Wendel said. The survey found some surprises as well. “We were a bit surprised by some of the cities in the top 10. We thought for sure we’d see one to two cities in Florida, due to the retirement population there, but we were wrong,” Wendel said. “When you consider baby boomers are redefining what it means to age and are typically still working and leading active, healthy lifestyles, and when you examine all of the factors that played a role in determining the list, the top 10 cities make sense.”

you know someone who has a thyroid problem. Thyroid problems are often misdiagnosed and mis-treated...and women are affected most. This may sound familiar. Your labs come back “Normal” and yet you still feel tired, achy, cold, depressed and mentally sluggish. You may even be on thyroid hormone replacement and still have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Worst of all it’s difficult to get anyone to listen to you. So now what do you do? For the last four years, Dr. Susan Kelenyi, of Glen Ellyn, IL, has been working almost exclusively with women who suffer from thyroid symptoms yet their lab tests are normal. “My practice consists mainly of women who have no where else to go. They are tired, frustrated, don’t sleep well, and overweight”, she says “What most doctors don’t understand is that close to 90% of thyroid cases are actually autoimmune in nature. The condition is called Hashimoto’s Disease and it is often missed in diagnosis.” Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition (your immune system actually destroys your thyroid gland). Medical treatment often ignores the underlying immune problem and simply replaces thyroid hormone by tracking TSH levels. According to Dr. Kelenyi, this is a shortsighted approach. “Too many people still have ongoing symptoms in spite of normal TSH levels. Why? Because the underlying immune problem is not being addressed. There is no method in the medicine today that addresses Hashimoto’s other than hormone replacement for your thyroid. This is where Dr. Kelenyi steps in. As a chiropractor with an advanced specialty in Functional Medicine and clinical nutrition, she is able to perform specific metabolic tests to determine what areas of the body are deficient or over reacting. Many of these tests could be performed by their MD but they don’t perform them. “The problem is two-fold, says Kelenyi. “First, the insurance companies don’t typically pay for many of the tests and secondly, the medical model doesn’t support the answers we get from many of the tests. For example, we look at women’s adrenal (stress) glands with a salivary test and supplement with powerful botanicals in order to restore function. There are currently no drugs that help the adrenals work better.” Why is a chiropractor treating thyroid disease? Dr. Kelenyi emphasizes that she is not treating the disease. “That’s what their MD is for.” she says. “The medications can be life savers and women should not take themselves off them. It’s my job to help modulate the thyroid gland and their immune system nutritionally through a Functional Medicine approach. Functional Medicine includes a lab based approach, integrating natural therapies that include lifestyle changes, to address a wide variety of chronic health problems. What is it that Dr. Kelenyi is doing differently than your local endocrinologist? She says that food is a big part of it. She finds that gluten can be a detrimental food for women with thyroid disease. “We now know there are proteins in gluten that cause inflammation in people with thyroid disease. But more importantly there are many other foods that can act like gluten in causing inflammation. We test for those foods with very accurate testing and can tell you what you should or should not be eating.” Our solutions are non-drug, non surgical approaches, that are research based and based on prior clinical success. She says it is a very rewarding way of practicing. “I am one of only 400 chiropractors in the nation addressing imbalances in this manner, so we get chronically ill people coming from all over the Chicagoland area, even out of state, to our clinic. The most important thing for these patients is results. We get results.”

DERMATOLOGY UPDATE Presented by
Todd T. Davis, M.D. Board Certified Dermatologist
DRY WINTER SKIN One of the ironies of winter weather is that the cold air is so dry that it resembles desert air. Consequently, dry skin is one of winter’s itchiest conditions. Dry skin is not only an outdoor problem. Central heating, space heaters, wood stoves, and other heating devices also lead to damaged, dry, itchy skin. To counter these problems, it is important to treat skin with a daily moisturizer. Upon emerging from the shower, it also helps to rub oil into the skin all over the body before toweling off. Also remember that long, hot showers and baths remove oils from the

No stranger to risk, Loerop said she took in an ex-con and his family once. While she doesn’t let fear stop her from reaching out to those she believes need her help, she also has seen the downside to her hospitality in people who have taken advantage of her kindness. “You have to take that leap of faith,” Loerop said. Proceeds from the sale of her book, also assist single mothers because she leads a group in the western suburbs dedicated to such women. Sisters Helping Each Other (SHE), another ECRC ministry, provides support and resources to single mothers. She began the group four years ago after watching single mothers drop off their children at Little Lambs. While she had never been a single mom, Loerop saw the need to bring women in that situation together for a meal and programs that vary from spa days to education about domestic violence. All the while providing free childcare during events. “I would like to see this book purchased – not for my sake – but so that the funds from this can go to either orphans or single mothers,” Loerop said. Aside from the financial support Loerop hopes the sale of her book will bring, she wants to challenge readers to find ways to be hospitable in their owns lives. Even at 72, she has no plans to slow down her outreach efforts. “It’s not stopping. As long as I’m alive it will go on,” she said.

The profits from the sale of her book also go to support single mothers. When the mother of a family she’d welcomed into her own home called nearly 30 years since they’d last seen each other, Loerop decided to reconnect with others from her past. Throughout her 45 years in Elmhurst, she and her husband Ken, have invited people of all needs and backgrounds into their home where they raised six children. “My husband never knows who’s going to enter my house,” she said. Her passion for orphans in Ukraine developed after she learned about a ministry program working in the country that shared the name of the preschool she directed at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church. They were both called Little Lambs. “I thought, ‘Well that’s just too coincidental, right?’ ” Loerop said. After contacting and meeting the nonprofit’s president Renate Kurz in 1995, Loerop visited Ukrainian orphans, some of whom she still has contact with today through Skype or email. Since then, Loerop has returned every June for two weeks. She plans to return this year with her daughter and three of her grandchildren but is keeping a close eye on the

Dillard and Brady trade jabs, Rauner absent in debate By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com LISLE – As candidates were called to the stage for the final debate before the Republican gubernatorial primary, one podium remained empty: that of Bruce Rauner. For the third of four recent debates, the candidate pegged by many as the frontrunner for the March 18 election was notably absent, this time March 6 at Benedictine University in Lisle. Nonetheless, Rauner’s presence was felt, as he was the focus of several responses from state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and state senators Bill Brady, R-Bloomington, and Kirk Dillard, R-Hinsdale, during the evening. “The truth of the matter is, what’s really going to count in this Republican primary is going to be who are the men who are standing before the hot,

The two, who have been fighting for second in recent polls, hammered one another throughout. Brady said Dillard was “unelectable” due to his history as a lobbyist, senator and alleged supporter of President Barack Obama, claiming he was a proven candidate who could bring the base. “I’ve been tested and vetted with over $5 million in negative ads,” Brady said. “Yes, I lost by a few thousand votes and Pat Quinn had to spend $50 million of taxpayer money to have a 3 percent higher turnout in Chicago than the rest of the state, Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com but I won 98 of 102 counties.

You muffed it and you blew it.” Rutherford was largely spared the sparring during the two-hour debate. “Whoever selected the stage set-up to put me in the middle – it was probably a very good choice,” he said, of his podium between the two senators.

Changarro adds bright notes to Mexican fusion WEST CHICAGO – Celebrating Mexican dishes on its own food pyramid with unexpected fusion twists is Changarro Cocina, a hidden gem in West Chicago well worth seeking out. Like its stylized Aztec bird logo, it has a semi-hidden perch along Route 59 on the overpass above Roosevelt Road, tucked on the west side of a modern commercial building. Inside the minimalist modern space is a tequila bar at the ready for Margaritas, Spanish wines and imported beer. Cocktails regularly are reinvented, and the menu shakes itself up with new specials like the recent duck confit tacos, pairing the French recipe with a Brazilian corn salsa. But friends had recommended the grilled tilapia and guacamole tacos topped with threads of lime-infused red cabbage for a burst of bright flavor. It was delicious, and I’m just hoping the duck will be back on the menu soon for another visit. A Chicago TV spot recently focused on Changarro’s chicken enchilada soup, and I second the recommendation. I split a cup with my dining companion, discovering it to be a richly complex concoction of chicken, garlic, onions, sizzled corn, cheese and lusciously giant slices of ripe avocado in chicken stock flavored with enchilada sauce. It’s just mildly spicy, which suited me to a tee on a snowy night. The casual dining room feels airy with a high, industrial style ceiling, and warm color palette, with one wall accented with a straight line of luchador wrestling masks. In the evening, the tables are linen covered. Our server was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable about which dishes are vegetarian. The menu also pinpoints gluten-free items. Launching the meal were complimentary chips and two wonderful salsas, including a creamy salsa verde with great

Steve Cox recently was named a preseason all-American by D3baseball.com. A Willowbrook graduate, Cox started his career at Concordia University as a starter but has made a smooth transition to pitching out of the bullpen.
Pitching out of pen no problem for Steve Cox By DAN SANTAROMITA
Cox’s 2013 honors
dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVER FOREST – For some pitchers the transition from starting to relieving can be a tough one. Not always knowing when they will be entering the game can mess with a pitcher’s routine, and just one mistake can define an entire appearance. For Steve Cox, relieving was a smooth transition. The current Concordia senior and Willowbrook graduate starred out of the Cougars’ bullpen last year and earned a number of national awards for his play. After not allowing an
• Second-team All-Northern Athletics Conference • First-team D3Baseball.com All-Midwest Region • Second-team American Baseball Coaches Association All-Midwest Region
earned run in 16 innings and going 13-for-13 in save opportunities, Cox earned three postseason awards and had one award before throwing his first pitch this season when D3Baseball.com named him a second-team Preseason
All-American. “It’s pretty cool to get some recognition like that,” Cox said. “I’ve never had any recognition like that before.” The Cougars are 6-2 this season and Cox has thrown three scoreless innings so far. He is hoping to match the success that he and the team had last year. Last year, the Cougars went 39-7, which gave them the highest winning percentage in Division III. The team made a regional final, coming one game away from the Division III World Series. “It was really exciting,” Cox said. “Last year was the far-
thest I believe any Concordia baseball team has made it in the playoffs. It was a very exciting year.” Cox was always a starter when coming up through youth baseball in Villa Park. After leaving Willowbrook as a starter, he got a chance to start at Concordia. As a freshman Cox made seven starts and four relief appearances and posted a 2.68 ERA. The following year he made just three starts. Last year he made the transition to the bullpen full time. “It actually went pretty smoothly working with the pitching coaches,” Cox said. “Smoother than I thought it
would be.” He struck out 20 batters in 16 innings and allowed just one unearned run in his first full year in the bullpen. “That’s honestly the ultimate goal,” Cox said of not allowing any earned runs. “It is an unlikely goal to achieve. It was pretty amazing to reach a goal of mine.” This season Cox is hoping to simply match what he did last year since it is hard to surpass that. Regardless, he remembers that Willowbrook helped get him to this place. “I feel like it put me on the right path and helped me work for what I wanted,” he said.

GIRLS SOCCER PREVIEW
Countdown to kickoff
Glenbard East, Montini look to improve; Willowbrook and AT build around returners schedule remains tough for a 1A team with tournaments at 3A schools Huntley and Glenbrook South. The team had just three seniors on last year’s roster. Juniors Sanchez, Jordan Bruscianelli and Carolyn Strzempek are entering their third year on varsity. Seniors Angie Luna, Kiera Johnston, Maggie Burke, Kelsey McHugh, Courtney Losik, Bridget Lucas and Pietras also have multiple years of varsity experience.
By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com With a little luck of the Irish, girls soccer teams across the state will be kicking off the season on March 17, the first day games can be played. Here’s the outlook for area teams as the season gets underway.

Addison Trail Blazers Coach: Sergio Nunez Top players:
Maria DeSantiago so. Petra Kyriakopoulos so. Outlook: Sophomores Maria
DeSantiago and Petra Kyriakopoulos were a big part of the Blazers last year and Kyriakopoulos even earned an all-conference selection in the West Suburban Gold. Those two will try to help the Blazers push up the West Suburban Gold standings after they were just 1-5 in the league last year.
Outlook: The Rams have just three seniors on the roster, but that’s a little misleading. This team won’t be using youth as an excuse considering it has eight returning starters. East brings back 11 returners in all, led by Alex Ruffer, the first Division I player the Rams’ have produced in Kent Overbey’s tenure as coach. Ruffer, a central midfielder headed for Western Michigan, will be the hub of the Rams’ attack. “She does it all,” Overbey said. “She distributes, but she also gets into the attack. It’s great to have an athlete, but also a technical player like her.” Joining Ruffer in the middle of midfield will be junior Megan Mrazek, who returns in that role. Those two will look to feed talented sophomore Brittany Paganucci and junior Jordyn Fulton, who played more in the midfield last year. Paganucci scored nine goals last year and is on track to be another Division I product in the program. “She’s got all kinds of speed,” Overbey said of Paganucci. “I think her speed and her willingness to take players on on the dribble in some of these big games when you’re not seeing a ton of chances is big time.

What did it mean to win state after taking third last year? It’s been our goal all season. It just topped it off. Last year getting third was a disappointment. Not many places is that a disappointment.
When are you getting to campus at Ohio and what are your plans once you get there? I’m heading down there the last week of June. I’ll be working out and doing some summer school.

The boys basketball postseason is nearing its conclusion for big class schools, which means the end of the season even for quality teams. Both Elmhurst private schools, Timothy Christian and IC Catholic had big games on March 7, but came up short with championships on the line.
IC Catholic The Knights lost to Newman Central Catholic 65-59 in a Class 2A sectional final at Bureau Valley. Sean Sutton scored 18 points, and Clark Brinkman and Anthony Taylor each added 12 points. Fellow senior Ross Fleming was also a big part of the team’s 23-7 record. “We were very excited for the run,” IC coach T.J. Tyrrell said. “It was disappointing when you get so close.” Brinkman plans to play college baseball while Taylor is still deciding on his college future and hopes to play basketball. Winning a regional against Aurora Christian, IC’s first regional since 2008, was extra special because the Eagles beat the Knights in a regional final last year and had eliminated the IC football team in
the past two postseasons. “We were excited to win the regional and get the monkey off our back after losing the last two by two points each,” Tyrrell said. Sophomore Rhashaun Epting, who was the Suburban Christian Gold Player of the Year, will lead IC next season. This season Epting averaged 19.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. “Rhashaun Epting really stepped up as a leader this year stat wise,” Tyrrell said. Fellow sophomores Will Lyles and Troy Burrows and freshman Jordan Rowell will be asked to play bigger roles on a younger team that still expects to bring back contributing players. Next year will be IC’s first in the new Metro Suburban Conference. Tyrrell said the Knights will be in a division with current MSC schools Riverside Brookfield, Glenbard South and Fenton and current SCC schools Wheaton Academy, Aurora Central Catholic and St. Edward’s. It should be a notable step up in competition since RB is a solid Class 4A program that has won 13 straight conference titles and Wheaton Academy won the SCC Blue this year. “The goal is still we go for 20 wins and a long playoff run,” Tyrrell said.
Timothy Christian The Trojans tested host and heavily favored St. Joseph, but ultimately lost 51-42 in a Class 3A regional final. Timothy led by as many as seven points in the third quarter before the Chargers made a run and pulled away down the stretch. Connor VanderBrug scored 27 points against the Chargers, who feature three players with Division I offers. VanderBrug, the Metro Suburban Conference MVP, averaged 21.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 48 percent from the field and 38 percent from 3-point range. VanderBrug, along with starters Wes Ditchfield and Justin Rhiner and bench contributor Logan Byrne, leave the program after an 18-10 season. Timothy tied for second in the Metro Suburban Conference with a 9-3 record. “I was very proud of these guys,” TC coach Jack LeGrand said. “This team was a team that rolled up their sleeves. They bought in to what a team can do together. Everybody filled their roles. This was a team that didn’t care what people wrote about them. We’re just going to prove it on the court.”

The Village of Villa Park has been awarded a Hurricane "Ike" Disaster Recovery Planning and Technical Assistance Grant. The grant is managed by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO). The grant will cover the Village's expenses to analyze current conditions of Village's combined sewer system, evaluate needs and develop a comprehensive plan for sewer system improvements. The Village selected RJN Group, Inc. of Wheaton, Illinois to develop the addendum to the Village's Comprehensive Plan. RJN Group is in the process of finishing necessary data collection and has started working on the necessary modeling and analysis of the combined sewer system. A draft addendum to the comprehensive plan has been prepared, but needs further refinement. The Village is planning to hold two public participation meetings before presenting the addendum to the Village Board of Trustees. Village staff encourages Village residents to attend the public participation meeting to learn more about the planning as well as express any concerns.

Outdated infrastructure addressed at town hall meeting considering implementing a Stormwater Utility Fund, which would provide a dedicated source of funding for future stormwater projects.
By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – Infrastructure improvements were the overall theme of a Villa Park town hall meeting Wednesday night at Willowbrook High School. Agenda items included information on the village’s long-term plans to address its stormwater drainage deficiencies, crumbling roadways and outdated public pools. Residents in attendance were also given the opportunity to speak about their concerns. “These are all deep issues that touch everyone in Villa Park,” village president Deborah Bullwinkel said. “We can’t do this by ourselves so we’re trying to hash out these huge issues that we have on our plate.” All of the problems discussed are tied together, and desperately need remedies, said Villa Park resident Jim Schmit, who was in attendance at the town hall meeting. “This town has real infra-

A 2013 village survey garnered more than 600 resident responses, with the state of the pools being a major concern, Bullwinkel said. Now, the village plans to issue a new survey to gather more information that will be used to create a dedicated plan. Villa Park Parks & Recreation is also working on a strategic plan, she said. “Everybody agrees that our community pools are in bad shape,” Bullwinkel said. “Now is the time to formulate a solid plan.” The village has more than $200,000 allocated for fiscal year 2014-15 that will be used to fund general improvements to the pools this year and recently submitted a PARC grant application for $987,750 that would cover about 75 percent of the project cost.

expected to be awarded in November, and would go a long way toward addressing the pool issue, Bullwinkel said.
Roadways The village of Villa Park plans to place a road and infrastructure referendum on the November ballot, and village staff is currently working to establish a committee to organize and disseminate information on the upcoming ballot initiative, Bullwinkel said. Robinson Engineering recently completed a study of every street in the village, and the findings would be used to dictate a three- to five-year road repair plan if the referendum is successful. “The streets desperately need to be fixed,” she said. “If we manage to get that passed, it will give us the funding to get the neighborhood streets done.” “I’m the most conservative guy in the world, but there is no magic hole with money in it,” Schmit said. “They have to get a referendum passed to deal with it.”

U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT 8
Kaifesh ‘motivated’ to take on Duckworth By DAVID GOOD dgood@shawmedia.com Larry Kaifesh said the lessons he learned earning the Republican nomination for the U.S. House 8th District will help him take on Tammy Duckworth in November. Kaifesh, a colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, defeated Manju Goel of Aurora in Tuesday night’s election, claiming 71 percent of the votes, according to preliminary results. The primary race was marred by accusations of

smear tactics against Kaifesh and complaints to the Federal Election Commission about Goel’s campaign practices. “I think it’s the best thing that could have happened to us,” Kaifesh said of Goel’s campaign.
“To have a challenging opponent with a significant amount of resources, it required us to really hone in on Larry what we were Kaifesh doing. ... It really tested our mettle.” Kaifesh said he received a concession call from Goel on Tuesday night. “We let her know we’re looking forward to working together for what it is we want to accomplish, and that’s turning
this district around,” said Kaifesh, 46, of Carpentersville. Revitalizing the economy is job No. 1 for Kaifesh, who looks to unseat incumbent Duckworth, D-Hoffman Estates. To do that, he plans to focus on four key issues – repealing Obamacare, promoting the Keystone Pipeline, building the nation’s energy independence and shrinking government. “We are probably polar opposites on most issues,” Kaifesh said of Duckworth. “I’m limited government, smaller taxes, free market capitalism. I plan to focus on the economy

and make sure it’s thriving.” As the victory party of about 200 people winded down Tuesday night at Strike Ten Bowling in Roselle, Kaifesh’s camp was already considering adjustments to its campaign. He expects to spend more time addressing the issues than reacting to his opponent. “We’re tired right now, but we’re motivated,” Kaifesh said. “This is a big hurdle. We saw things we need to work on to refine our plan. It’s a matter of getting our message out in the right manner. And it is the right message.”

Elmhurst native jumps into ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’ By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Mike Shannon grew up in Elmhurst and spent some summers as a deckhand on Chicago Line Cruises. Now he’s trading the Chicago River for ABC’s “Shark Tank.” “It was obviously an intense experience,” Shannon, 24, said of delivering his pitch to the famous sharks, including Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Shannon and his business partner, Kasey Gandham, who went to Lyons Township High School, co-founded Packback. The company rents digital textbooks for $5 or less a day, benefiting students and publishers. “It was very clear that the issues around the textbook purchasing cycle were underlying issues for every single student,” Shannon said. Both former presidents of their business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi at Illinois State University, Shannon and Gandham teamed up for a business plan competition sponsored by their
‘Shark Tank’ episode What: See if Elmhurst native Mike Shannon and his partner can strike a deal with investors for their digital textbook renting company, Packback. When: 8 p.m. today Channel: ABC
About Packback Visit www.packbackbooks. com for more information about Packback. school. Their plan looked at not only the high cost of textbook purchases for college students, but also the lost profits publishers suffer as a result of the used book market. “We provide a new revenue stream for publishing companies,” Shannon said. Packback signs agreements with publishing companies that allows them to tap into the bargain shopping market. “[Students] are immediate-
ly trying to buy the cheapest books possible,” Shannon said. Often, that means buying used textbooks, the profits of which go to the resellers, not the publishers. In turn, Shannon explained, higher education publishers raise prices on new textbooks each year to make up for lost revenue. At the same time, Shannon said professors have so many sources of information today, many times students barely use a book purchased for class. Packback allows students to rent digital books on a day-today basis for just a few bucks. After the duo won $5,000 for first place at their business plan competition two years ago, they decided to pursue the idea. That’s when Shannon remembered his summers on the river working for Terry Johnson of Elmhurst, an attorney and owner of Chicago Line Cruises. Shannon called up his old boss for advice and soon was meeting with a marketing research firm in Chicago. “As college students we were basically just looking for any re-
sources we had,” said Shannon, explaining the duo made plenty of cold calls to publishers and looking for advice. During their lengthy application process for “Shark Tank,” Shannon ran into Elmhurst neighbor Jeremy Whitmore, a freshman at York High School, who shot and edited the Packback video entry for “Shark Tank.” “I think the biggest thing that we saw was that as more students started to get aware of what we were doing with Packback, it was really easy to rally support,” 23-year-old Gandham said. Last fall, Packback launched its first pilot program at ISU with just 21 books available in the system. Knowing their catalogue limited how many students could use Packback, the company added two free services. The website offers a price comparison option for titles not available through Packback as well as one that compares prices retailers are paying for used books. “They’re getting nickels on
the dollar back from the bookstore,” said Shannon of the traditional route students take when selling back their textbooks. Now, Packback is live for any student to use with more than 2,000 books available. New titles are added every month. The company targets universities one at a time and has implemented a student ambassador program to market its product. “We do some pretty selective recruiting on campuses,” Shannon said. The ambassador program, which is about 50 large as of now, gives student leaders the opportunity to network with Packback investors and gain management experience leading marketing efforts on campus. While Shark Tank was a highlight of their adventure so far, Gandham said he can’t pick just one defining moment from the entire experience. “A new [highlight] happens probably every week,” Gandham said.

The court is waiting on a doctor’s report before proceeding with the next status hearing for the Lombard woman accused of murdering her husband in January. Anka Misocevic, 56, of the 800 block of Hammerschmidt Street, appeared Monday morning in DuPage County Court for a status hearing. The doctor’s report is expected to be ready in three weeks so Judge Blanche Hill
Fawell set the next status hearing for April 14. Fawell also agreed to Misocevic’s request Anka for a Serbian Misocevic interpreter to be present at future court dates. Misocevic also inquired about checking on her son, a sixth-grader in Lombard Elementary School District 44. Misocevic pleaded not guilty Feb. 3 to a charge of

Several ways you can spring into action for DuPagePads Spring has finally arrived! Farewell to the harsh winter weather that took a toll on us all. As the weather warms up, consider springing into action for DuPagePads. Our volunteers, donors and community supporters are essential to our mission to end homelessness. Please consider helping us in the following ways: Volunteer: Warm weather COMMUNITY is right around the corner, VOICE and with many people travCarol eling during the spring and Simler summer months, we need your help at our overnight sites. Register as a volunteer and check out our convenient online volunteer training, www.dupagepads.org, covering volunteer responsibilities, crisis intervention and more. Galaxy Bowl: This out-of-this-world event is open to all earthlings, big or small. Gather up your team and help us strike back against homelessness from noon to 3 p.m. April 12 at Fox Bowl in Wheaton. Teams should consist of five members who are willing to shoot for the stars and raise $500 to support our mission. Participants receive T-shirts, pizza, soda, ice cream and fun! Questions? Contact Sarah Swiston at sswiston@dupagepads.org or 630-682-3846, ext. 2420. Donate: During this winter’s subzero temperatures and constant snowfall, DuPagePads kept the safety of program participants as a top priority. Families and individuals were provided transportation to sites and the Client Service Center. The unusually harsh winter significantly impacted our transportation budget for this year. Any support you can provide is appreciated. Fundraising can be fun. Feel free to get creative. Below are some original donation ideas our supporters have organized: Western DuPage Special Recreation Association (WDSRA) Aktion Club sold handmade dry soups and chocolate chip cookie-filled jars. After volunteering at the overnight sites, they chose DuPagePads as a recipient of the $500 they raised. Ben Hall and Riya Uppal created a cookbook to sell, donating all proceeds to DuPagePads. The two have more than 500 copies and have since created a sequel. If interested in supporting them, email dupagepadscookbook@gmail.com. Carol Stream Public Library hosted a Jeans Day, when staff members had the opportunity to wear jeans when they made a donation for DuPagePads. What could be better than a casual work day?

The words “RIP Emilio” and dozens of condolence messages from peers of Emilio Perez, 17, are visible on a large rock outside of Willowbrook High School.
A “thumbs down” doesn’t really capture the tragic misjudgement of the person who ran down Willowbrook High School junior Emilio Perez along Interstate 88 near Joslin. As of Thursday, authorities still didn’t have anyone in custody in the hit-and-run death. Justice may be a hollow consolation for Perez’s family, friends and schoolmates, but it’s better than nothing. Here’s hoping that the driver is located and held to account. Another kind of tragedy was on the minds of the organizers of a forum on heroin awareness recently at Willowbrook High School. Principal Dan Krause brought the topic home when he said “This has a direct impact on our sons and daughters.” If events like these can help avert even one heroin overdose or life ruined by addiction, they’re worth the effort.

Why is tuition increasing? I’d like to know why the tuition prices are going up at College of DuPage when they have a $140 million reserve. Why do they have such a large reserve, and what is that money used for? I wonder if anybody else is as curious as I am about that.
Q: A:
Without having much of a technical background, is there anything pertaining to my plumbing system that I should check periodically as a precaution? Although the majority of the plumbing system within a typical residential home is typically concealed, there are certainly plenty of areas that a novice can quickly assess.
Every faucet, toilet and appliance must have a shut of valve that can easily be turned of in case of an emergency. here should also be a valve that shuts of the main water supply to the home as well as to the water heater. You will want to make sure that the valves all shut completely of before an emergency occurs. Faucets should be easy to operate and free from leakage. Drains in the home should all keep up with the low of the ixture it is serving, without any water backing up.
Toilets should be irmly set in place and not rock or move with any body weight or pressure applied side to side. Flooring around tiles should be irm and not buckled, uneven, or discolored. You will want to check for leakage from the tank to the bowl by dropping a few drops of dye into tank. If the color appears in bowl, there is a leak and it is costing you money. he toilet should lush easily without any hesitation or back up or any particular “technique”. Look for staining on walls and ceilings and line up with plumbing in related areas. Grout and caulk in between tile tub and shower surrounds should not be discolored and intact. Visually inspect around water heater for signs of leakage. If your home has a sump pump, make sure the standing water level is below the inlet of the pit and make sure that discharge outside allows water to freely drain away from the home. If there is a battery back-up system, look for weak battery charge light indicators.

Although I’ve written to politicians on both sides – Democrats and Republicans – none have answered the simple question as to why the government has not repaid the social security back from the past and up to now. There would be more money than is ever needed if it had been left alone to build up. Do people have any idea as to how many people never received a check before dying? These crooks that took the money without a referendum from the public by vote should be in jail. Who by name are the politicians that signed the bills to remove money from Social Security without a vote? They keep taking more out and the elderly don’t have a voice, nor the people who pay into the system, which isn’t right either. When it all started it was voluntary to have your money taken from your salary, now it’s mandatory. When was the public notified of that little fact? When hired, they left it up to the employers [to do it] in the paperwork before you started working. It’s an easy way out for the politicians in government. You cannot opt out either and add it to your own retirement fund. By the way, the Social Security Fund was never designed to be an “entitlement” for the greedy government to paw their way into it and never have to pay it back to the people. This has been an abuse of government power for many years that is still going on. Gov-

• BULLWINKEL Continued from page 3 position with our partners and our customers.” Moving forward, Metra is focused on rebuilding trust with customers, legislators and “just about everybody,” Orseno said. To better communicate with customers, Metra is currently working to upgrade its website, which will feature real-time information including route delays and track issues. This year, Metra will roll out a mobile ticketing system so commuters can buy tickets using their smartphones. “Everyone is migrating to smartphones,” Orseno said, who has been in the railroad industry for 40 years. With the reverse commute – those living in Chicago and working in the suburbs – becoming more popular, Metra has been talking with Pace, the Chicago Transit Authority and the Regional Transit Authority about solutions to get people to their offices more conveniently, Orseno said. Villa Park has also been in contact with Pace about exploring additional service from the village’s train station to a stop located on North Avenue, Bullwinkel said. “It would be for folks on North Avenue who don’t have an easy way to get to Metra – this would be an option for them,” Bullwinkel said. Orseno also addressed the frequent delays stemming from high wind warnings this winter. Metra has installed anemometers, devices used for measuring wind speed, to monitor the routes. “We should see a lot of those delays go away,” Orseno said. “We want to make sure our customers can go from Point A to Point B without being delayed.” Along with improving trust and technology, Metra should also consider additional service during nonpeak hours, Bullwinkel said. “I think what has been the traditional commuter time frame is changing,” she said.

County deputy sues sheriff By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com A 17-year veteran DuPage County Sheriff’s Office deputy has filed a lawsuit against Sheriff John Zaruba, claiming he was denied a transfer because he pushed for more collective bargaining rights and refused to donate to Zaruba’s political campaign. Deputy Peter Coolidge named Zaruba and DuPage
County Sheriff’s Office Chief Al Angus as defendants in the suit he filed in the U.S. District Court – Northern District of Illinois on March 6, according to the court website. Coolidge has been a deputy since September 1996, the suit said, when he started in the Corrections Bureau. He moved to the Patrol Division in 2002, then went back to Corrections in 2008. He believes he was denied
a transfer back to Patrol in 2012 as retaliation for his unwillingness to contribute to Zaruba’s campaign fund and for demanding more collective bargaining rights for Sheriff’s Office employees, according to the suit. The retaliation, which “continues to this day,” violates his constitutional rights, caused him to lose career opportunities and damaged his reputation, the suit said.
DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Paul Darrah declined to discuss the pending litigation. The Sheriff’s Office did not respond to requests for comment. Coolidge’s attorney also opted not to make a statement on the ongoing law suit. The suit follows accusations of similar actions on the part of Zaruba made by seven deputies in November.

Restaurant reviews
Kick up your appetite at Al’s Char-House LA GRANGE – They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and if that’s the case, then Al’s Char-House not only embodies the stereotype, but celebrates it with platters built for a state-size appetite and portions larger than my forearm. Even on a freezing winter’s night, downtown La Grange is its same old self with bustling foot traffic, valet services working nonstop and restaurants keeping up with the demand. Through a set of double doors next to Casa Margarita and down a stairwell, there exists a place in La Grange that could only be described as John Wayne’s subconscious fantasy. Texas and cowboy memorabilia line every wall from the full-service bar area with fire pit to the multiple levels of a packed and hungry house. Walking past the terrific Western-themed decor, including cowboy statues, saddles, badges and photographs, it was hard not to notice the king-size platters being brought to tables. I could hear guests saying to each other with a smile how they’ll have leftovers until [insert days in advance here]. As a result, I refrained from ordering an appetizer, but seeing the onion blossom specialty arrive at several tables close by tempted me in ways you could only imagine. Instead, I resisted and opted for the main course. The menu’s array of different strips of steak and ribs looked mouthwatering, but being a connoisseur of cheeseburgers, I had to go with the Charburger Plus, described by Al’s as its “super burger,” topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. Again, I have to be honest. Right before going to Al’s, I went to see the new “Hunger Games” movie at the La Grange Theatre, so now eyeing a burger that took up most of my plate made me feel a little guilty. That was before I took the first bite.

A cowboy dream awaits at Al’s Char-House in downtown La Grange, where the Western theme is as big as the portions.

finding the strength to carry
The Charburger Plus lives up to its “super burger” billing, and can be on. customized with a variety of toppings. If there ever were a time I “Is it good?” my mom asked. But I couldn’t stop to answer her; I was too busy leaving shame at the door as the juices from the burger dripped down to my fingers and then back into my mouth. My mom could tell what the answer would’ve been as she got started on her Chicken Marsala, two boneless chicken breasts sauteed in wine and
mushrooms. Despite not being able to finish the massive portions, we both enjoyed the leftovers for lunch the next day. Our server was more than friendly, along with the rest of the staff, who twice during our visit got together to sing a happy birthday to guests. I managed to request a brownie sundae for dessert, after loosening my belt and
chose wisely to indulge, it was now, as a brownie materialized covered in whipped cream, chocolate syrup and ice cream. My mom couldn’t eat another bite, but, as I said, shame already had been left at the door, so the spoon and my hand became one until the plate was empty. With its selection of steaks, chicken dinners, kabobs and burgers, Al’s Char-House is a haven for carnivores, but
offers an occasional non-meat dish as an option. For myself though, and much of the packed house in attendance, meat was the weapon of choice, and I would be happy to rearm at the La Grange steakhouse again.

Area volleyball teams hope to net success By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmdia.com Volleyball is one sport immune to bad spring weather. High school boys teams get started next week, so here’s a look at what to expect from area teams this season.

this spring. Talented junior outside hitter Alex Dickmann had 300 kills last season and will lead the way again. The 6-foot-4 Dickmann has represented the United States at the youth level. A strong supporting cast is with him. “We return every position from last year and we only graduated one outside hitter that played significant time,” coach Troy Hubner said. Hubner set goals of a West Suburban Gold title and a trip to state for his team. “We will see how the team gels as the season progresses as to whether we can meet any of those goals,” he said.
Willowbrook Warriors Coach: Ryan Bazon 2013 record: 26-11 Top players:
Anthony Acitelli Tommy King Ryan Wakely Ben Wozniak
jr. jr. jr. sr.
L S OH OH
Outlook: The Warriors have the task of replacing a 12-man senior class that won 52 games in the past two years on varsity. This season, Willowbrook has just one senior joined by 11 juniors on the roster. Outside hitter Ben Wozniak is the team’s lone senior, but is a good one. He had 243 kills, 223 digs, 35 blocks and 17 aces a year ago. Newcomers Ryan Wakely, Anthony Acitelli and Tommy King should play big roles in their first year on varsity. “Our teams expectations this year are to again be competitive in the West Suburban Gold and to continue building on our successes,” coach Ryan Bazon said. This group of players has seen increasing success over the years and we are eager to [continue that] as a team and program.”
Here are Suburban Life Media’s 2014 boys basketball selections for classes 3A and 4A taking place this weekend. That means it’s
time to take a look at the 2013-14 boys basketball all-area team.
Matt Brachmann
Clark Brinkman
Ronald Duling
Rhashaun Epting
Jaron Hall
Chris Poole
School: Montini Year: Senior Impact: The Broncos’ senior forward nearly averaged a double-double with 17.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. Brachmann was also a wide receiver for the football team and used his size and strength as a physical player inside.
School: IC Catholic Year: Senior Impact: Brinkman was IC’s solid senior guard. He averaged 12.8 points per game and 4.8 rebounds. Brinkman was a standout in football and basketball, but his best sport is baseball, which he will be playing in college.
School: Addison Trail Year: Senior Impact: Duling wasn’t much of a factor for the varsity team last year, but showed great improvement. He earned a starting spot and turned that into an all-conference selection. He was all-tournament at the Blazers’ pre-holiday tournament this season and averaged 11 points, 4.0 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game.
School: IC Catholic Year: Sophomore Impact: The Suburban Christian Gold player of the year put up big numbers, and the scary part is that he’s only a sophomore. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 19.2 points per game while pulling in 8.1 rebounds and blocking 28 shots. Colleges will surely start calling for Epting very soon.
School: Glenbard East Year: Senior Impact: The Rams had an uncharacteristically down year, but it wasn’t because of Jaron Hall. The senior guard led the team in scoring and proved to still be a dangerous player. Hall, who was all-conference in the DuPage Valley Conference, is one of the best jump shooters in the area.
School: Willowbrook Year: Senior Impact: The Warriors didn’t have a lot of success on the court, but Poole managed to stand out. The senior guard averaged 9.1 points per game thanks to a good shot and an ability to get open.
Honorable mention
James Pupillo
Stanley Roberts
Charlie Rose
Frank Toohey
School: Addison Trail Year: Senior Impact: The four-year starting point guard was a staple in the program. His scoring ability and ballhandling skills helped earn him an all-conference selection and all-tournament nods at West Chicago and Addison Trail this season. He averaged 17.1 points, 4.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game while shooting 51 percent from the floor.
School: York Year: Senior Impact: Roberts was a versatile athlete for the Dukes. The 6-foot-1 guard played longer than his size and was third on a balanced York team in scoring at 8.9 points per game. He will be playing at the next level after receiving a lot of interest from Division III schools.
School: York Year: Senior Impact: Rose was the quarterback of the football team, but the basketball court is where he truly shines. The sharpshooting guard made 39 3-pointers this season while averaging 9.8 points per game. He also led the team with 59 assists
School: York Year: Senior Impact: Toohey was a four-year varsity player and leaves the program with the most career wins in York history. Bound for Air Force, the 6-foot-8 forward scored 14.1 points and grabbed 7.2 rebounds per contest. What’s maybe most impressive is his 80.6 free throw percentage (166-for-206).
Connor VanderBrug School: Timothy Christian Year: Senior Impact: The all-area MVP was also the MVP of the Metro Suburban Conference. VanderBrug played all five positions at different points in the season for Timothy and put up monster numbers. He averaged 21.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while also shooting 38 percent from 3-point range as a 6-foot-6 forward.
Addison Trail: Joe Kurucar Glenbard East: Mike Finley and Patrick Peterkin IC Catholic: Anthony Taylor Montini: Jack Brady Timothy Christian: Justin Rhiner Willowbrook: Ed Mickevicius York: Jack Heinle and Jayvon Thomas

Connor VanderBrug a jack of all trades for Timothy Christian hoops By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Connor VanderBrug stood tall in many ways for Timothy Christian this season. Not only did the 6-foot-6 senior play every position at some point during the season, but he was a positive role model for the program and the school. The best story about VanderBrug, one that coach Jack LeGrand was excited to tell, is that he once signed a wristband and gave it to a younger Timothy Christian student. “One thing cool about Timothy basketball being a campus that’s preschool through 12th grade is a lot of times our younger kids look up to the older kids,” LeGrand said. “Connor also looks up to the younger kids. He really is a great role model.” The younger kid, Ben VanderWal, was a big fan of VanderBrug and the team. VanderBrug still was surprised by how much of an impact that little gesture had on VanderWal. “He just loves being in our basketball camp that we run,” VanderBrug said. “He’s a basketball fanatic. He came to every game almost and saw me play as much as possible. His mom would always tell me stories of how [VanderWal would say], ‘Oh my goodness he knows my name.’ It was just cool to give him something to remember me by.” VanderBrug gave the Timothy program plenty to remember. He was the Metro Suburban Conference MVP this season and finished his career with 1,247 points. In his last four regular season games he scored 37, 37, 31 and 38 points. Earlier in his career he was a strong 6-foot-6 interior player. He’s a long way from that now.
Connor VanderBrug averages Points: 21.6 Rebounds: 8.7 Blocks: 2.1 3-point shooting: 38 percent This season, VanderBrug could be any of a number different types of players. He could be a passing forward that his teammates would play off of, he could be a shooter that his team would run plays to get open shots for, he could be the primary ballhandler and he could still be the post player. The evolution of his game, which included occasional point guard duties once the team’s starter went down around the New Year, surprised even VanderBrug. “Sophomore year I don’t think [playing point guard] would have crossed my mind,” VanderBrug said. “I actually loved playing point guard. I know at the college level I’m kind of in between guard and big man so I like to have experience playing every role out there and I think that was good for me.” VanderBrug will play at Calvin College, a Division III program in Grand Rapids, Mich., that multiple members of his family have attended. To the surprise of LeGrand, no Division I offers ever came despite his all-around game and size. “He was a problem for people because he’s so versatile,” LeGrand said. “We put him at every position. He stepped up to the challenge. Connor is one of the best players we’ve had. He’s one of the best Timothy has had in a while. Erica Benson file photo “It’s one of those neat stories Timothy Christian’s Connor VanderBrug goes up for a shot against Riverside Brookfield this season. The se that good things happen to good nior played every position for the Trojans this season and earned Metro Suburban Conference MVP honors. people.”
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
York Senior | Basketball Why Lyons was selected: Lyons qualified for state in the 3-point Showdown after making 12 out of 15 shots in 45 seconds at the Bartlett sectional.
What was your preparation for the shootout? We do a lot of shooting during the year with the
team. Once the season was over I got a little shooting in. I didn’t have to do anything different. The cool thing was that the team came out and watched. We had almost the whole team there for my 45 seconds.
Did you have to change your shot at all? It’s a little different. I just keep everything the same. I just try to take my whole shot. You have to go a little quicker. As long as you don’t slow down you’re fine.
Do you have any favorite memories of the season? It was a great senior year. We were really close [as a team]. We all had each others’ backs. It was really cool. There’s not one favorite memory.

York senior guard Sean Lyons kept the Dukes’ winter sports season going for another week by advancing to state in the 3-point Showdown, matching Megan Backman’s appearance on the girls side. He made 12 shots to finish first at the Bartlett sectional. He competed Thursday at Peoria’s Carver Arena for the Class 4A preliminaries and is already gearing up for volleyball season. Lyons, this week’s the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, talked with Suburban Life sports reporter Dan Santaromita about his preparation for the state competition and the season in general.
ELMHURST – Elmhurst College has named Ron Planz as its new head football coach. Planz becomes the 19th head coach in school history, taking over for Joe Adam, who resigned last month to join the coaching staff at Syracuse. Planz has spent the last five seasons as an assistant coach at Minnesota State University, Mankato – an NCAA Division II school. He served as the team’s defensive line coach and special team’s coordinator. He takes over for an Elmhurst team that finished the 2013 season with a 4-6 overall
record and a 3-4 mark in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW). The team is just one season removed from its best-ever campaign in 2012 when the Bluejays won a share of the CCIW championship for the first time since the 1980 season and earned the College’s first-ever trip to the NCAA playoffs. “My family and I are beyond excited to be joining the Elmhurst College community,” Planz said in a release. “This is a great school that cares about the student experience and is committed to being great. This is what has me most excited about being a Bluejay.”

Chicago Football sports media franchise launches SHAW MEDIA AND DAILY HERALD MEDIA GROUP Shaw Media and Daily Herald Media Group recently announced the launch of Chicago Football, a print and digital sports media franchise covering high school, college and professional football. Veteran football analyst and Chicago-area sports personality Hub Arkush will spearhead the initiative. The first edition of Chicago Football magazine hits newsstands in early April and will focus on the Chicago Bears’
preparation for the 2014 NFL Draft. The first edition will include exclusive interviews with head coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery. It also will break down the professional prospects of Chicago-area players, including Chris Watt (Glen Ellyn) and others. In print, Chicago Football will be a glossy magazine published weekly during the football season and monthly in the offseason. The publishers also plan to produce several annual football guides to be distributed nationally.
The website HubArkush. com is now ChicagoFootball. com. The new site will provide in-depth news and analysis of the Bears, along with extensive information about the NFC North division and coverage of all 32 NFL teams. The site also will provide analysis of local high school and college programs as the 2014 season approaches. In addition to Arkush, Chicago Football contributors include Shaw Media’s Kevin Fishbain and Tom Musick, and the Daily Herald’s premier Bears expert Bob LeGere
and fantasy football analyst John Dietz. Veteran designer and editor Bob Peters – who previously worked with Arkush at Pro Football Weekly – also joined the Chicago Football team. Arkush indicated that he is in the process of hiring additional staff. Chicago Football will be headquartered at the Daily Herald offices in Arlington Heights. Arkush noted the time is right for this venture. “The NFL’s popularity is at an all-time high, and many fans have an affiliation
with at least one college and high school program while many follow more than one,” Arkush said. “Chicago Football will be unique in its look at the sport from a geographical perspective, and our singular focus will allow us to go more in-depth than other media.” Chicago Football’s NFL Draft Preview edition will be available on newsstands April 7. The magazine can be purchased at area newsstands or included as part of an annual subscription, available at ChicagoFootball.com.

see from other states. The goal? To get all 50 states. If you can’t get all 50, try to get the most of anyone else playing. For extra credit, name the capital of each state you see.
I spy where? On the train or in the car why? This is a classic game – chances are your parents played
this one when they were young, too. It’s fun! How? One person is the questioner, and everyone else is the
guesser. If you are the questioner, pick an object. Think of an adjective (most often a color) that describes it. Say, “I spy with my little eye something ... red!” and let others start guessing. The person who guesses correctly wins.

Beat the winter blues shoveling snow, scraping windshields and running from the car to the office burns calories, but enough is enough. We can’t take it anymore, winter! fortunately, there are effective strategies to help combat the winter blues: On below-zero days, a couch, blanket and cranked thermostat are much more enticing than venturing outside to hit the gym. But here’s the deal: exercise can help banish your winter blues and shouldn’t be skipped. Whether you grab a basketball, a dumbbell or a yoga mat, a good sweat session releases feel-good brain chemicals that reduce depression and improve your mood. Plus, your metabolism and energy level will both stay elevated for a few hours after your workout. Soak in the sun: Winter days are cold, long and dark. This ultimately means a lack of a very important ingredient to wintertime happiness: sunlight. Time spent in the sun helps your body process Vitamin D and releases neurotransmitters that can boost your mood! Add a few extra outdoor activities to your week like a walk around the neighborhood or cross-country skiing. As for your home, keep your shades up during the day or use full spectrum light bulbs to replicate natural light indoors. everyone is happier when they are looking forward to an exciting event on the horizon. Plan a guys or girls night out, an evening at a comedy club or a weekend getaway. if you want to indulge solo, try a massage.

battle of the bulge M by David Gannon More Content Now
any Americans suffer with problems of obesity. It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of Americans are now overweight and many have given up the struggle to return to a healthy weight. As your weight increases, the chances of losing it seem to slip away. If you lose only a pound here and a pound there, any chance for significant weight loss seems to be out of reach. You get discouraged and stop trying. The risks of obesity and being overweight are many. It is the No. 1 public health problem in America, leading to multiple diseases. Weight-related diseases include hypertension, Type II diabetes, fatty organs, acid reflux, heart disease, shortness of breath, joint pain, lowered immune response, stroke, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and premature death. The costs of medical care for these diseases has skyrocketed to $147 billion for Medicare and Social Security Disability claims in one year. People who are obese spend 42 percent more on medical care, 72 percent more on medications and 48 percent more time in the hospital. That adds up to as much as $10,000 more per year in healthcare costs. The factors that can influence excessive weight gain are different for each person. The trajectory toward obesity can begin as early as 5 or 6 years old when hereditary factors and family lifestyle can contribute to the problem. You can inherit certain genetic predispositions for weight gain. However, in most cases heredity can be overcome with a healthy lifestyle. If the family meals include many calorie-dense foods, you not only gain excessive weight but you are likely to develop unhealthy eating habits as an adult. Family schedules may be arranged around the foods that are fast and easy but also more likely to be unhealthy. If the family eats a lot in restaurants many of the foods tend to be in larger portions and may have too much of the “big three” — fats, sugar and salt — in them. Subsequently the entire family can easily become “biggiesized.” What about your body? It seems to betray you, too. Your taste buds seem to prefer donuts over broccoli. The taste of processed foods also may be engineered to maximize your

be patient and set realistic goals for weight loss. Weight gain did not happen overnight. practice healthy behaviors and weight loss will follow. consumption. It doesn’t help that your body is biologically predisposed to store foods for energy. But in modern life you do not need all of that stored food energy that will be enable you to run 10 miles, chase down an antelope, kill it with your spear and drag it back home. Instead you are more likely to eat a bag of potato chips while you sit on the couch, turn on the TV and watch someone else catch that antelope. Women’s bodies tend to gain more weight with pregnancy but many women gain excessive weight during pregnancy and do not lose it. Hormones
sometimes play a part in increasing susceptibility to weight gain or slower body metabolism. Some medications also contribute to weight gain. Don’t forget that an important part of the weight-loss equation is calorie expenditure. Most Americans spend too much time in sedentary activities. Sitting at work, in a car and finally at home does nothing to burn up calories. Opportunities for walking, running and even moving may be very limited in your daily routine. While it may seem hopeless with all of these obstacles, it is possible to lose weight. It involves a new psychology of self
and food utilization. Successful weight reduction requires increased knowledge and awareness of all of the potential threats to your health and a belief in your power to control your life called self-efficacy. All of the factors that can influence weight gain can be managed if you first become more aware of the subtle and not-so-subtle triggers for relapse. This includes our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and the environment. It requires conscious living or achieving a level of mindfulness about yourself that most of us are not accustomed to practicing. Consider the vision you have of yourself. If you imagine yourself as a healthy person you are more likely to act in ways that are congruent with the way a healthy person acts. You will consciously seek health-enhancing activities and be more aware of the choices you make. Use behavior-modification principles to set up your life for managed eating, such as eating slowly, making a food journal and developing alternative ways to manage feelings. Be patient and set realistic goals for weight loss. Weight gain did not happen overnight. Practice healthy behaviors and weight loss will follow. Be aware of the foods you have around you. Certain foods may look good, taste good and smell good but they create havoc with your organ systems. Remove them from your home and surroundings. Become knowledgeable about foods and read labels. Buy more fruits and vegetables. Eat more rationally and less emotionally. Change your view of food. Food must be viewed as a means for sustenance instead of a way to make yourself temporarily feel good, manage stress, conquer boredom or reduce bad feelings. And don’t forget to move every day. Hop, skip, walk, run, jump or dance. Just get your body to experience enough motion to use up some of that stored food energy. Being a healthy person of normal weight is not convenient. It requires an investment of time, thought and planning. It requires a change in some of the beliefs you have held about yourself for a long time. The dividends can be a new and happier way of living your life and loving yourself. David Gannon, Ph.D., works with Psychological and Family Consultants Inc. in Canton, Ohio.
