Heart & Sole Fitness has grown from its roots in dance exercise to also offer tai chi, water aerobics, yoga and more. Galgan now has a team of instructors to help provide a variety of classes every day at Lexington. Galgan, a Glen Ellyn resident who recently turned 65, began her career as a physical education teacher, but back pain and the subsequent surgery altered her career path.

She eventually went back to school at College of DuPage to upgrade her health credentials. Her physical limitations, combined with her education and dance background, inspired Galgan to create the low-impact dance exercises for seniors. It’s a good thing Galgan came along when she did because Olson said once you get past 75, you can’t do kickboxing. “Once I tried it, but I didn’t like it,” the 100-year-old said of kickboxing.

Residents like Olson, who celebrated her centennial birthday in November, provide inspiration for Galgan. “I just admire her so much,” Galgan said of Olson. “I think she’s a wonderful role-model for everybody, no matter what the age.” Popular music from an era past fills the basement lobby at Lexington for all of Heart & Sole’s nonpool classes. Galgan uses music as a motivational tool. There’s even a mission statement residents sing with words like, “We go the extra mile … We do it with a smile.”

It puts meaning into it,” said Galgan, who noted the importance of the social interaction. Bernice Behnke, 98, also received her 15-year corsage at Tuesday’s event. She shakes a leg in the dance classes on Mondays and Fridays and relaxes with tai chi on Thursdays. “I’d be lost if it wasn’t for this,” said Behnke, who added she and Galgan hit it off because their birthdays are on the same day. As for results, Fass says they speak for themselves. “Well look it, we haven’t put on a pound,” the 94-yearold said with a laugh.

Exercising is part of a six-day-a-week regimen for 100-year-old Eleanor Olson. Just not on Sunday because “that’s a day of rest,” said Olson, who lived in Villa Park before moving to Lexington Square in Lombard 25 years ago. “I just need the discipline of doing exercises.” If Olson has the discipline, then Darlene Galgan’s got the moves.

Galgan’s Heart & Sole Fitness celebrated its 20-year anniversary at Lexington with a party Tuesday. “I’m kind of humbled because everyone seems to enjoy the program,” Galgan said of reaching the two-decade milestone. “And I’m anticipating it will continue.” So are the residents. “Don’t take this away from us,” 94-year-old Florence Fass said when asked if she plans to continue participating in the classes. Fass was honored Tuesday for 15 years of exercising with Heart & Sole Fitness. Three days a week, Fass

Dianne Luebker, a member of the Friends of the Villa Park Public Library, takes her first look Wednesday at the Friends’ new cookbook, along with John Bradford, a library employee and the book’s editor. The cookbook (below) celebrates 100 years of Villa Park recipes.

Library’s new cookbook features century of recipes By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – A century full of local recipes, photos, stories and anecdotes comprise the Friends of the Villa Park Public Library’s new cookbook, “A Centennial Celebration: 100 Years of Cooking in Villa Park.” “It’s a unique cookbook and a lot of people in Villa Park participated and gave us recipes,” library director Sandra Hill said. The book, available now at the library, features 200 recipes that span the decades since Villa Park’s incorporation in 1914. Roughly 65 people contributed to the book. The cookbook is arranged chronologically and includes recipes provided by residents for appetizers, salads, soups, breads, main dishes and desserts. “We were trying to get a good representation of recipes from the 1910s, 20s, 30s and so on,” Hill said. “It turned out to be such a cool idea.” John Bradford, head of technical services at the library, came up with the idea

Society’s historical cookbook, “Aspic and Old Lace.” “It’s amazing how much history is in the village,” said Bradford, who also edited the book. “I was amazed at the number of people still in the same houses that their families moved into when they moved to Villa Park.” The library solicited input from residents, who stepped forward with not only recipes, but also vintage photos and anecdotes about the village, Hill said. One of the common memories is Ovaltine, which operated in Villa Park for more than eight decades. “Ovaltine had such a huge Find the cookbook impact on the community and it came across in this cookbook To order a copy of the book, as well,” Hill said. visit www.villapark100.com The book is available for and click on the centennial $10, with proceeds going to the cookbook link, or visit the Villa Friends of the Library, who use Park Public Library. the funds to support library programs.

Re-enactment offers glimpse into Civil War By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – Imagine coming to a new country for the first time and being told you will experience the re-enactment of a major national war. Sixteen exchange students will get to experience that feeling as both patrons and volunteers during the Lombard Historical Society’s fourth annual Sweet’s Civil War Re-enactment today through Sunday at Four Seasons Park. This is the second year exchange students have participated in the event as part of the Community College Initiative Program at College of DuPage. “They really enjoyed it last year,” program coordinator Nicole Spizzirri said. “A lot of them had heard of the Civil War, but they didn’t know what it was about. It provided a visual representation that helped them understand it.” The exchange students in the program arrived Monday from as far as Colombia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Gana, South Africa, Egypt and Kosovo. The 10-month, competitive scholarship program is run by the U.S. Department of State. International students accepted to the program are brought to one of six community colleges to learn professional development, technical skills and community service, Spizzirri said. “They get the cultural experience of learning about the Civil War, but they also get an opportunity to volunteer and help clean up the event,” she said. Large crowds are expected this weekend at the fourth annual re-enactment, which has grown considerably each year, said Alison Costanzo, coordinator of the Victorian Museum at the Lombard Historical Society. The first re-enactment, which took place at the Lombard Commons, was a one-day event that brought about 1,000 people, Costanzo said. Last year, the three-day event attracted roughly 5,000, she said. Sanfords Battery, a Confederate artillery unit, and the 8th Veteran Reserve Corps are the two organizations that participate in the event, which

Aside from battle re-enactments, the three-day event features tours of Civil War camps, a cotillion and kids drills. “These events bring the subject matter to life,” Costanzo said. “It’s something the kids

will remember going forward.” Many people living in the North have the misconception that the Confederates are the bad guys in these re-enactments, but they often develop a new understanding after learning from the re-enactors in the Confederate camp, Costanzo said. “We forget how trying a time it was for people on both sides,”

she said. “It was a very difficult time in America’s history.” Getting a chance to meet the re-enactors always is a highlight of the event, said Leslie Sulla, president of the historical society. “It’s a great way for all ages to learn about living history – it creates a context so we understand our background and why we are here today,” Sulla said.

FRIDAY: Oscar-winning 2012 movie “Lincoln” at 8 p.m. Free admission SATURDAY & SUNDAY: Reenactment open to the public from 10 a.m to 4 p.m., including a skirmish at 11:30 a.m., the kids drill at 12:30 p.m. and the main battle at 2:30 p.m. SATURDAY ONLY: Candlelight camp tour at 8:30 p.m. SUNDAY ONLY: Ballroom dance lessons at noon; raffle winners announced at 2:15 p.m.

Food rescue program thriving at People’s Resource Center Each month, thousands of hungry DuPage County neighbors visit one of People’s Resource Center’s two food pantries in Wheaton and Westmont to choose a week’s worth of nutritious food, including fresh produce, meats, dairy, canned goods and household staples. We are successfully keeping our shelves stocked for each of these neighbors thanks to the supCOMMUNITY port of our community.

In partnership with more than 60 local retailers, businesses like Hillshire Brands and Kraft, as well the Northern Illinois Food Bank, PRC is now conducting more than 100 food rescue pick-ups each week! When you visit the PRC food pantries, you’ll see bins brimming with fresh produce and bakery items, coolers full of meat, and shelves stacked with food. You’ll also see and hear the gratitude from those neighbors who will have food to keep their families fed. It takes so many caring community members to make this possible – our food rescue retail partners, the great volunteers who help with food rescue pick-ups, and the generous donors who have helped support the purchase of a new truck to keep up with growth in food rescue.

Villa Park resident June May Kortum’s new nonprofit, The Gathering Lighthouse, in downtown Lombard, focuses on helping people live positive lives.

June Kortum of Villa Park is on a mission to help people get their lives back on track through spiritual and emotional counseling. Kortum recently opened The Gathering Lighthouse in Lombard. The nonprofit is open to the public and strictly donation-based, meaning there’s no fee structure. Good luck with the new venture. This one goes out to the volunteers at the Villa Park Historical Society museum. Their vast knowledge of the village, along with their willingness to spend hours with Suburban Life staff, allowed us to put together our Villa Park Centennial Celebration special section in this week’s paper. Thanks for all of your help.

Eric Holder and freedom of speech Seems that Eric Holder always plays the race card every moment he can, especially when people don’t agree with this administration. He carries a huge chip on his

shoulder and goes after everyone to stop people’s freedom of speech when he doesn’t like what is done nor said. His true job is stopping freedom of speech to continue in the USA.

Responding to ‘Padded Teacher Pensions’ To the Downers Grove resident who talked about “padded teacher pensions.” You are misinformed. The state of Illinois decided that teachers should not pay into social security, but should give that money to the state. The state then would contribute to that fund just as

employers contribute to your Social Security. That way, when teachers retire, they will have just what the general public has and the state would have some interest money to help the budget. The problem occurred when the state kept not contributing to the retirement fund because they needed to pay other bills. Other employers would have been prosecuted for this. They also borrowed money that the teachers themselves had put into the fund. Well, now, lots of teachers are retiring and there’s no money there. How is that the teachers’ fault?

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

Public Notice Proposed Issuance of a Federally Enforceable State Operating Permit Elmhurst Memorial Hospital – Main Hospital Campus Elmhurst Memorial Hospital has applied to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for a federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) regulating air emissions from its main hospital campus located at 155 East Brush Hill Road in Elmhurst. The Illinois EPA has reviewed the application and made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review and comment. The Illinois EPA is accepting written comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight August 24, 2014. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Brad Frost, Division of Air Pollution Control, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois, 62794-9506, phone 217/782-7027, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, brad.frost@illinois.gov. The repositories for these documents and the application are at the Illinois EPA’s offices at 9511 West Harrison in Des Plaines, 847/294-4000 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). The draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/reg5oair/permits/ilonline.html. Copies of the documents may also be obtained upon request to the contact listed above. The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act require potentially major sources of air emissions to obtain federally enforceable operating permits. A FESOP permit allows a source that is potentially major to take operational limits in the permit so that it is a non-major source. The permit will contain federally enforceable limitations that restrict the facility’s emissions to non-major levels. The permit will be enforceable by the USEPA, as well as the Illinois EPA. The facility is located near a potential Environmental Justice area. More information concerning Environmental Justice may be found at http://www.epa.state.il.us/environmental-justice/

This is the third time in one month that we have been without electricity for more than 24 hours. We don’t know what’s going on because there’s no bad weather, no wind.

Teenager urges peers to register as organ donors By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – For many teens, a driver’s license is a rite of passage, but for 16-year-old Lucie Gleason, it represents the chance to save lives. “One of my things is you can register to be an organ donor when you get your license,” said Gleason, who received a liver transplant when she was 5. In 2003, a high fever sent Gleason to St. Louis Children’s Hospital where doctors discovered a rapidly growing tumor on her liver. After trying chemotherapy, Gleason was put on a transplant list. “I just remember definitely being mad all of the time,” Gleason said of the whole experience. At 5 years old, she was most upset about the endless shots and not being able to play with her friends outside. But as she’s grown up, Gleason appreciates the chance she was given with her liver transplant. Gleason, who moved to Elmhurst about seven years ago, volunteers for Relay for Life every year and also supports the American Liver Foundation at events. This month, Gleason traveled to Texas to compete in the Transplant Games of America for the first time. “It’s very much like an Olympics,” Gleason said, de-

Know more To learn more about the Transplant Games of America, visit www.transplantgamesofamerica.org. scribing the five-day sporting event that takes place every two years in a different city. After first learning about the Games at an American Liver Foundation event in St. Louis about a year ago, she decided to join Team Illinois. “It’s not just recipients,” Gleason said. In addition, living donors and the families of those who have donated their organs are invited to attend. The Games seemed perfect for an active teen like Gleason, who recently earned belay certification at The Courts in Elmhurst where she enjoys rock climbing. “She was taking karate lessons within six months [of her surgery],” said Lucie’s mother, Leah. This year’s games took place from July 11 to 15 in Houston. In addition to competitions in everything from basketball to poker, athletes and their supporters enjoyed special events like a family barbecue and a donor tribute ceremony. While Gleason plays lacrosse at York High School, she competed in badminton and several swimming events at the games, walking away

with one gold and three silver medals. “I think my favorite part was just getting to know people,” Gleason said. When she wasn’t competing, she took part in workshops. One, in particular, focused on being a teen with a transplant. Like most transplant recipients, Gleason has to take anti-rejection medication, which can be a constant annoyance for an active teen to remember to take twice a day. Gleason said she made friends with people on her team as well as others. She plans to stay in contact with many of them and compete in the 2016 Transplant Games of America in Cleveland, Ohio. With all of her medals and new friendships, the first status update the teen posted to Facebook after returning from the Games wasn’t a photo of herself or a celebratory announcement. It was a call to action asking her friends to register as organ donors as they get their driver’s licenses. “It’s just so sad that people just die waiting for an organ to become available from a donor,” she said. Gleason knows how lucky she was to only wait seven hours after being put on a transplant list for her liver. “Organ donation is in such demand right now,” she said. “The more registered donors we have, the more lives we can save now and in the future.”

a look at heroin overdose deaths and community response in DuPage County

By NATHAN LURZ

O

nlurz@shawmedia.com

ne year ago, DuPage County made headlines across the nation after 11 residents died of heroin overdoses in July alone – almost half of the 23 who had died up to that point in 2013. The surge was part of a record-high 46 heroin-related deaths that year, a number that led many county officials to declare a public health crisis. County Coroner Richard Jorgensen said during a presentation to the county board in September that users of hard drugs go into a spiral ending “in rehabilitation if you’re lucky, our criminal justice system if you’re also lucky, or death.” The death toll and subsequent presentation were a wake-up call, said board member and Judicial and Public Safety Committee Chairman Grant Eckhoff. “We had to get educated and sit down with the people who knew what they were talking about,” he said. “If any of us had known what was going on beforehand, we should have sounded the alarm instead of waiting on the coroner to do it.” Soon after, the county formed an exploratory committee focused on the problem, he said. “My first reaction was, buy bigger guns, build bigger jails, put more cops on the street,” Eckhoff said of his position at the time. But State’s Attorney Robert Berlin dissuaded him. “The research is out there that when you’re talking about drug addicts, not sellers, for users of narcotics who are addicted to the drug, putting them in jail doesn’t solve the problem,” Berlin said in a recent interview. “If we assume that they want treatment ... it is a better option and has much better results than incarceration.” Berlin said in most drug posses-

sion cases, the people going to jail are repeat offenders. The best approach is to focus on limiting access to drugs by putting dealers in prison – his office charged 31 people in a heroin bust in August – and educating the public about the dangers of the drug, he said. The DuPage County Board dramatically added $100,000 for heroin awareness education at the last minute to its 2014 budget in November. The money since has been used to help form the DuPage Coalition Against Heroin, a group made up of a number of county stakeholders, including the state’s attorney, sheriff’s department, county board, superintendent of schools and health department. The coalition has spearheaded outreach, created a new website aggregating resources and information about heroin addiction, and recently helped establish a pilot with

the Robert Crown Center for Health Education to bring awareness programs to 12 area middle and high schools. “That’s going to be our best method of attacking the problem, preventing fu ture users,” Berlin said. “And I’m going to continue to aggressively go after drug dealers, because it sends a

message to the community that, in the county, we’re not going to tolerate it.” The health department also began training local police departments to use a drug, naloxone, that reverses the effects of opioid overdose. The department allotted $40,000 for the program, and is working to shore up additional funding for it to continue. So far this year, 12 people have received the drug after overdosing, Jorgensen said. He was careful not to give naloxone life-saving credit in all 12, but said the total number of deaths is down in 2014. There have been 15 confirmed heroin deaths with three possible cases pending, he said. By August 2013, there were 34. Jorgensen previously had touted the benefits of increased addiction treatment resources around the county, but now says education should be the main focus. “Not to shortchange getting people into recovery or the criminal aspect ... but the biggest bang for our buck is early education and teaching our youth the dangers of heroin and drug addiction,” he said. Eckhoff said the short-term focus on combating heroin in the county centers on ensuring the Robert Crowne partnership goes smoothly and expands. But he also said the coalition is looking at the use of Vivitrol, a prescription injectable medicine used to treat alcohol and opioid dependence by curbing cravings. Eckhoff said he would continue to be open to the advice of other professionals. “I think [the county board] respect[s] all the countywide elected officials,” Eckhoff said. “If every person is saying the same thing, I think it would be a little tough to buck the horse.”

“… for users of narcotics who are addicted to the drug, putting them in jail doesn’t solve the problem.” State’s Attorney Robert Berlin

t’s a common quandary: not enough kitchen seating. Sure, you’ve got enough seats for your family to eat together, but it may not be in the kitchen. What happens when you’re entertaining or friends drop by? Trends in kitchen design are moving away from eat-in kitchens, said Kathy Cremone, a kitchen designer with Carole Kitchen and Bath Design, Woburn, Massachusetts. “For that reason, you really have to plan your seating options in advance because you can’t just drag in chairs from other rooms. Dining room chairs may not be the right height,” Cremone said. “What I see the most right now are large islands with eating areas built into them. In some cases, the eating area is raised higher than the countertop, requiring the user to sit on a bar

I

stool,” said John Petrie, owner of Mother Hubbard’s Custom Cabinetry, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and 2014 president of the National Kitchen & Bath Association. “In most cases, however, I see the eating area being all the same height as the countertop, which gives individuals more room to spread out. When the seating area is all the same height, it also gives the chef more preparation area to cook when the seating areas aren’t being used.”

Your own island Another seating trend is eating areas designed in such a way as to allow for face-to-face contact, rather than everybody all lined up in a row, he added. Kitchen islands with extended overhangs allow for seating to be hidden underneath, Cremone said. “You don’t want anything interfering with the travel space,” she added. Stools that can be tucked

away with “no backs allow them to slide nicely underneath the counter,” Petrie said. “However, these types of stools may not be the most comfortable to sit at for long periods of time. One very clever way I’ve seen bar stools built-in into the island is suspended from, or mounted to, the island cabinetry itself, not touching the floor. “I’ve also designed a seat for the cook at the island, to help with her bad back during long periods of meal preparation. The stool was hidden behind a pocket door in the cabinetry, allowing the cook to open the door and slide out the stool when needed. Otherwise, it was neatly tucked away, invisible to everybody, but lurking right where it needed to be when the cook required it.” Islands are being designed in all sorts of shapes to allow as much seating as possible, Cremone said. She recently designed one almost in the shape of a question mark.

for small rooms

For kitchens that are tight on space, Cremone suggests a concealed countertop island that can lift up and swing into place, and drop down when not in use. Built-in furniture may appear to be bulkier but can provide increased seating. “Banquettes are making a comeback, especially built-ins with extra storage,” Cremone said. “They can seat more people. If you have two chairs only two people can sit, but in the same amount of space a banquette can fit three people,” she said. Having an extra seat in the kitchen can make cooking more enjoyable, too. “There needs to be a space for someone to sit down and have a glass of wine and a conversation with the cook,” Cremone said, “or for when a neighbor stops by to have a cup of coffee. The kitchen is the meeting place of the home, so seating has to be a consideration.”

Consumer Tips

industrial chic

decor

Factory remnants are the new hot decor in modern dwellings By melissa erickson more Content Now

odern homeowners seeking a connection to the past need not be limited to grandma’s frilly tablecloths. Industrial chic, repurposing industrial artifacts in home design, creates a second life for found and salvaged items. Your next dining room table could be a stationary workbench from a steel manufacturing company, your bathroom mirror could be a metal medicine cabinet from a closed-down hospital, or your mudroom cubbies could be reclaimed factory lockers. There’s an afterlife for industrial objects, which still have a story to tell and can fit into any home regardless of design, said Eric Nordstrom, owner of Chicago’s Urban Remains, which has probably the largest online selection of industrial artifacts in the country (excluding eBay).

M

What is it The trend of repurposing industrial objects is nothing new, but it “absolutely” continues to thrive, Nordstrom said. “Despite being a company that

focuses on rescuing architectural artifacts from the wrecking ball, we continue to seek out recently shuttered factories to capture industrial artifacts to repurpose for both home and commercial applications,” he said. An industrial object — a light, a panel of stained glass, a side table or anything else — creates excitement and brings personality to a room. These rescued objects are “clean and simple, well-crafted, robust, timeless and original — not reproduction. Those are elements that are used to create the style,” Nordstrom said. “One piece in a room definitely works. This trend for authentic and unusual pieces plugged into an eclectic setting is rather commonplace. People certainly like to mix things up quite a bit, as their own taste and style evolves based on exposure to such a wide array of things available — driven, in my opinion, by Pinterest.” “If someone wants to have the industrial look in their home, I recommend buying one or two key pieces to start, a dining room table or console-type piece, and then adding to the collection over time,” said Chris Bailey, owner and designer of San Francisco’s

freeimageS.COm

Industrial Chic. “This way it does not have a cookie-cutter look to it. It will have a more authentic feel to it in the end and the homeowner will have lots of stories about where they found the different pieces. Each piece tells a story, and each maker of industrial furniture has their own style.”

finding pieces In addition to the online galleries at Urban Remains and Industrial Chic, you can find industrial objects just about anywhere, Nordstrom said.

“Type the word ‘vintage industrial’ on any and all search engines and you will be amazed at how incredibly saturated the market is both in terms of reproductions from India and China and authentic,” he said. Not only great conversation starters, industrial pieces are environmentally responsible, too. “The recycling component is great, especially if one favors something authentic over reproduction, which essentially is wasteful because the structural integrity of such pieces is subpar and shoddy and likely to live a very short life before becoming the next day’s garbage,” Nordstrom said. The most important aspect, though, is the narrative behind the artifacts. Nordstrom is passionate about industrial artifacts — saving them and sharing them with others who appreciate these treasures from times past. “That is the driving factor for me, and once you begin to share that with someone, it becomes contagious,” he said. “They then want to know more, be a part of that narrative so they to can be caretakers and story tellers of these amazing pieces that were built when people cared about their craft — even took great pride in it.”

Restaurant reviews

Chama Gaucha carves out delicious niche DOWNERS GROVE – Never having eaten at a Brazilian steakhouse, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect when I walked into Chama Gaucha, but the entire evening was impressive from beginning to end. The hostess seated us at a menu-less table in the spacious dining room, and explained we were welcome to enjoy whatever we wanted from the circular salad bar. Set in the center of the room, its array of offerings was a visual work of art. The design of the Downers Grove restaurant is richly accented with stone and wood, and the room boasts an eye-catching wine cellar. We each received a small square card – red on one side and green on the other. This worked like a traffic signal, directing the many servers who carry carving knives and skewers of cuts of meats they skillfully slice to order. The men were dressed in elegant incarnations of the South American gaucho – their version of our cowboy. The restaurant’s tables are well spaced so the gauchos can roam freely. After piling our plates with salad and veggies, my companion and I returned to our table, where a server pulled out my chair as I sat down. Our tabletop quickly was filled with traditional Brazilian sides, including a warm basket of cheese bread, a plate of garlic mashed potatoes, warm fried bananas and fried polenta. After making some room on our plates, we flipped our cards to the green side, and the gaucho-attired servers began to stop at our table. One after another, they offered us a slice or two of their carnivorous temptations. Lamb, pork, chicken and beef. We ate until we couldn’t fit another bite. When we found a favorite, the gauchos offered us extra helpings, and when we spotted a stack of savory sausages across the

Back in the Pampas, gauchos can be found tending large herds of cattle in parts of Brazil and several neighboring countries. At the end of their long day, the gauchos gather around the churrasco or fire pit to eat and share stories. That dining experience inspired the South American steakhouse concept. The local

restaurant takes the name Chama from the Portuguese word for flame. I doubt real gauchos ate like I did at Chama Gaucha, though.

than difficult to choose a favorite, but the bacon-wrapped chicken as well as the garlic steak definitely found their way to the top of my list. Chama Gaucha also has an extensive wine menu divided by region, and the restaurant staff was eager to share recommendations. I would suggest guests save a little room for dessert, because by the time I’d finished clearing the last helping from my plate, I simply couldn’t indulge further. Because of its all-you-caneat service, Chama Gaucha may be a bit pricier than your average meal out, but it’s an out-of-the-ordinary dining experience, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself.

Summer season a sign of things to come for Willowbrook baseball By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com

Erica Benson – ebenson@shawmedia.com

Willowbrook’s Cam Zunkel pitches during a summer league game July 7 against Montini. Zunkel later tossed a no-hitter against the Broncos July 16 in a regional semifinal of the summer playoffs.

VILLA PARK – Matt Pizur and Dom McDonnell are the only two regulars that didn’t graduate from Willowbrook’s spring baseball team. Despite that, the summer season went well enough to expect that the rebuilding process might go smoothly for the Warriors. Willowbrook won three playoff games this summer before losing 7-2 against Nazareth in the Fenwick regional final on July 17. Making it to the final 16 in the state and getting a no-hitter from junior Cam Zunkel against Montini in the regional semifinal showcased what the inexperienced team is capable of. “We started out the first week seeing who we are,” coach Vic Wisner said. “We’d win one, lose one and then we went on a three-week tear where we didn’t lose a game.” The varsity newcomers played well, but it was the returning players that were blocked by seniors in the spring that stood out as well. The Warriors graduated eight regulars who hit .340 or higher. Seniors Mike Petruzzi, Trey Jones and Luke Schuemer have been among the group to step up in their place. “We’re doing all those little things and they’re seeing it’s paying off for them,” Wisner said. “They’re at the field, they have to be there an hour beforehand and they’re there two hours early. I just can’t keep them away from the field. For me it’s been my most rewarding summer, watching these kids grow up and everything they do. Sometimes summer can be a drag, it gets old and it gets warm.

“We’re doing all those little things and they’re seeing it’s paying off for them.” Vic Wisner Coach These guys are just a special group. They work really hard.” Cam Zunkel is the younger brother of recent graduate Tyler Zunkel, who was a two-way player for Willowbrook and plans to play for College of DuPage next spring. Cam Zunkel said it has been easy to transition to varsity ball, even if just in the summer version. “It’s been a lot of fun,” the junior said. “We just stepped right in. We practiced with [the varsity] sometimes during the spring season.” Zunkel’s no-hitter against Montini was part of a 10-0 win in six innings. His class and the current seniors had success on the lower levels as well. Wisner is hoping that translates to varsity success in the spring. “These guys were really good as freshmen and really good as sophomores,” Wisner said. “I know that doesn’t always mean anything, but they expect to win. I think that’s a big part of it. The foundation that our previous classes have laid, these kids expect to come out and win.”

base during the summer playoffs while hitting third in the lineup. Scott raved about Blake’s summer performance. Blake may look like a prototypical wide receiver, but he is no baseball rookie. “I started playing baseball before football and I fell in love with it then,” Blake said. “Football came right after.” Playing both sports during the summer is physically taxing, but Blake endured. Now that the summer baseball season is over he can devote his full attention to football. “It’s football in the morning from 10 to 12 and right out to baseball,” Blake said. “I’m pretty exhausted. I try to get a nap in before the game, anything.” Senior shortstop Jake Pestel was another standout for the Broncos, who graduated much of the core that helped the team to a sectional final in Class 3A this past spring.

But once there, the 12-player squad made quite a name for themselves, finishing as the top team in Illinois and 10th overall. Playing a total of 13 matches, the Hitmen defeated teams from Wisconsin, California, New York, Pennsylvania and Hawaii. “The boys worked hard and they got players back healthy,” Hitmen Volleyball Club owner and director Mike Liedtke said. “They moved up every single day even though they had the toughest road out of anybody. They played top teams every single day.” Team members Sean Farmer, Ethan Marchetti, Grant Tecson, Kevin Tarczon, Anthony Schlesser, Cam Lilly, Robbie Murphy and Johnny Win-

Adam Branch (Downers Grove South), Tommy LaMantia (St. Francis), Nick Schellinger (Lake Park) and Brian Knoll (incoming freshman at Wheaton Warrenville South) round out the roster.

It’s done great so far.” Along with Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Downers Grove,

the Hitmen also have players from Addison, Carol Stream, Elmhurst, Glendale Heights, Lisle, Lombard, Oak Brook, Villa Park and Westmont playing within the program. In fact, from the top four teams at the IHSA state finals

this spring – Lincoln-Way East, Warren, Glenbard West and Lake Park – 17 of the players have been a part of the Hitmen program, according to Liedtke. “One of the biggest things we try to do is build up the rapport and comfort level between the players and coaches,” Liedtke said. “If you know the players on a personal level and show that you care for them, they will want to work hard for you. We want them to try to reach their full potential. The Hitmen are also starting up a girls program in the fall. They currently hold a lot of practices at the Ackerman Sports & Fitness Center in Glen Ellyn but are looking at possible expansion in the area.

LOMBARD – If the summer postseason run by Montini’s baseball team was any indication, the Broncos will rely on pitching next spring. The Broncos entered as the No. 16 seed in the 16-team Fenwick regional for the summer playoffs, but shutouts from Sean Frontzak and Bruno Bodnum led Montini to a pair of postseason wins. Montini beat Lyons Township 4-0 in the opener and York 4-0 in the second round before being no-hit by Willowbrook in the regional semifinal on July 16. “When we got Sean on the mound we can beat anybody,” coach Eric Scott said after the LT win. “He pitched a heck of a ball game and did a great job. Photos by Erica Benson - ebenson@shawmedia.com I got a lot of respect for Lyons Montini’s Bruno Bodnum pitches during a game against Willowbrook Township. Year in, year out they on July 7. Bodnum pitched one of two Broncos’ shutouts – his was are one of the best programs in the state. George Ushela does

a great job over there and I got nothing but good things to say about their program. That was a huge win for us.” Frontzak was a standout pitcher in the spring as a junior, so his performance in the summer is nothing new. It’s the start from Bodnum, who will be a junior next spring, that showed Montini could have more depth in its pitching staff in the future. Discovering and learning about new players to complement the returners is a major part of the summer season. “The positive thing is we got to see what a lot of young guys can do, what a lot of sophomores and a lot of juniors can do,” Scott said. “These kids have a lot going on with football and basketball. They got full schedules.” One of the younger players that stood out was junior Justin Blake. Blake is also a football player and his athleticism on the field stands out quickly. He played right field and second

Aside from transporting Ovaltine, the railroads were crucial to the initial growth of Villa Park. “In 1902, there were probably two vehicles in the whole township,” Carlson said. “If you wanted to go someplace, that was the only way to travel.” The Villa Park area originally was farmland settled in the 1940s by German and Swedish immigrants who bought land at $1.25 an acre, Photo provided by the Villa Park Historical Society according to “Your Villa Park,” published in 1970 by Workers stand outside the Ovaltine factory in 1919.

VILLA PARK – When Gottlieb Steiner came to the United States in 1917, he was looking for an ideal place to build a manufacturing plant for Ovaltine, the popular drink mixture made by the Switzerland-based Wander Co. Steiner found a perfect match in the newly incorporated village of Ardmore, which two years later would become Villa Park. For eight decades, the industry helped the village thrive. Along with the abundant supply of eggs, milk and water from local farms, Steiner also found reliable transportation – the Aurora, Elgin and Chicago Railroad and the Chicago Great Western Railroad lines both provided service into Chicago. “Ovaltine came after the Great Western was built,” said Frank Carlson, treasurer of the Villa Park Historical Society. “They had two railroads

FROM THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT

Happy birthday, Villa Park Imagine back 100 years ago to Aug. 8, 1914, when what is now known as the village of Villa Park was merely a vast landscape of farmland with very little, if any, residential settlement or business industry within its vicinity. A field of dreams, some folks might say. Fast forward to Aug. 8, 2014, in the village of Villa Park, a well-settled community of nearly 22,000 residents. A community nestled among Sears Catalog homes, brick bungalows and the former Ovaltine factory, with thriving school districts and generations steeped in family traditions and memories, now coming together to commemorate a huge milestone for Villa Park – our 100th birthday. It all started when the village of Ardmore was legally organized and incorporated with a residential population of 300 people, a small but mighty group comprised of families chasing the American dream. Sheer determination later led to officially changing the name to the village of Villa Park, this after gathering petition signatures and taking it to a vote.

COMMUNITY VOICE Deborah Bullwinkel

Local real estate developers also took notice of the flurry of activity occurring in the area. They provided transportation from Chicago to Villa Park on the train and offered potential residents various “incentives” such as 200 baby chicks or 20 apple trees to those who were willing to relocate to a growing community with great potential. Now, as our big birthday bash fast approaches, we are preparing for what promises to be a weekend chockfull of fun and celebration for the entire family. You only turn 100 once in your life, so why not party like it’s 1999 … or in our case, like it’s 2014! Between Friday, Aug. 8, and Sunday, Aug. 10, there will be more than enough activities to keep Villa Park residents, friends and guests occupied. The weekend festivities will include a Healthy Villa Park initiative with a blood drive and other

health-related checkups, a centennial dinner dance and a villagewide barbecue with all the fixins’ accompanied by live music performed by various bands. Other attractions will feature interactive games for the kids, a shop local business expo, a spectacular fireworks display, a Centennial Grand Prix bicycle race and a vintage motorcycle show. Come one, come all to the village of Villa Park to help us not only celebrate such a proud time in our town’s history but also embrace new beginnings. Here’s to the next 100 years, Villa Park!

Deborah Bullwinkel is the Villa Park village president.

ON THE COVER

• THRIVES

Continued from page 3

Four years later, on Aug. 8, 1914, the residents of both subdivisions agreed to join together and incorporate as the village of Ardmore. The main reason for incorporation was so the municipality could acquire tax money for community improvements, according to “Recollections,” published in 1976. In 1917, bickering between residents over the village’s name led to a referendum question asking voters to approve a name change, from Ardmore to Villa Park. In Sept. 17, 1917, voters approved the referendum, officially changing the name to Villa Park.

Population spikes

Between the 1920s and 1950s, the population grew immensely in the wake of World War I and World War II, and many organizations were founded, including the Villa Park Woman’s Club, the Villa Park American Legion Post 652, York High School, Villa Park Village Hall, the Villa Park VFW Post 2801 and the Villa Park Chamber of Commerce. “Villa Park grew mostly in the 1920s as the housing built up,” Carlson said. “Then there was a second boom after World War II.” In the 1960s and ’70s, the village would see additional growth, as the population jumped above 25,000. In the decades since, it has declined slightly – the 2010 census listed the village near 21,900. “It’s a bedroom community,” Carlson said. “We were always caught between Lombard and Elmhurst, so the only place we could build was in-between.”

The Villa Park Centennial Celebration is a special section of Villa Park Suburban Life whose parent company is Shaw Media. It was produced by Suburban Life editors Dave Lemery, David Good, Jes Spivak and Scott Helmchen and reporters Matthew Piechalak and Dan Santaromita.

Through the decades, Villa Park has maintained a unique sense of community, said Rae Rupp-Srch, former village president and a resident for more than 50 years. “We have evolved into being a very active town – there is something for everybody,” she said. “I think we’ve been open while trying to maintain that community spirit.” State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Villa Park, who moved to Villa Park last year from Elmhurst, believes the small town still has room to grow. “It’s such a beautiful town with a sense of community,” Conroy said. “I’d like to see us build more small businesses. There are so many great opportunities along the Prairie Path and by the train station.” For Carlson, a resident since 1963, Villa Park has maintained its identity. “I like it because nobody is walking around with their nose in the air,” he said. “You are what you are, and it’s no big deal.”

Century-old Ardmore keeps games alive By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com There is something charming about history, believes Michele Cummins, principal at Ardmore Elementary School in Villa Park. Portions of the building, including the administrative offices, are about 100 years old. “We have marble windowsills and you hear the floors creaking, but we love it,” said Cummins, who has been principal for 11 years and has been with School District 45 for 23 years. “There are parts of it that are endearing.” During Ardmore’s centennial celebration in 2011, students learned about early 20th century games such as jacks, Tiddlywinks and hopscotch. The games provided students with an interactive way to learn about the school’s history, as well as the history of Villa Park, Cummins said. “One hundred years ago, people did not have a lot of money to be spending on games, so the kids used what was around,” she said. “Students had no idea how to play these games and after, they would be playing them at recess.” The games Ardmore students researched in 2011 will be featured during Villa Park’s Centennial Picnic on Aug. 8. A booth containing the old-fashioned games will be run by District 45 staff, Boy Scouts and volunteers from Willowbrook High School. And each hour, there will be special features including a pie-eating contest, a balloon toss and a threelegged race. Aside from games, during Ardmore’s centennial in 2011, students learned about their school through the decades, and received trinkets, such as yo-yos and oldfashioned candies, to provide context to their learning, Cummins said.

Patrons visit the booths at the Villa Park French Market on a recent Sunday morning.

VIEWS Dave Lemery thing about Villa Park then, it was just “the village between Lombard and Elmhurst” at the time. But when we first drove into town with our real estate agent to look at one of the houses on our list, it was immediately obvious there was something different. It’s a little greener, a little quieter. Aside from the major east-west thoroughfares, it’s not a place you zoom through on the way to somewhere else. If you find yourself winding your way through the neighborhoods of Villa Park, then it’s probably where you wanted to be. We were charmed by the Prairie Path, by the fact that there are two distinct little local downtown districts, by the historical museum and by the friendly people we met in the homes neighboring the ones we were looking at.

Dave Lemery dlemery@ shawmedia.com

Ultimately, after we visited Villa Park, we were pretty much done looking at other towns. We found a brick 1925 home with a nice yard and a garage that suited us just fine, anguished over the closing process, and were moved in by the end of June last year. There’s still a lot I don’t know yet about this town, as a recent transplant. We certainly have enjoyed the Fourth of

July parade, the Summerfest, the French Market, and various other events. We like to frequent local businesses and take regular walks down the Prairie Path and the Great Western Trail. Please feel free to offer tips about what else is great about Villa Park, I’m very much open to suggestions. I’ve moved around a few times in my newspaper career, which can be the

nature of this business. Most places I liked, a few I didn’t. But in Villa Park, I get a sensation I haven’t experienced since I was a kid. It feels like home.

VILLA PARK – What is it that makes a town, a village, a special place? I grew up back east in a town not far from mountains, lakes and rivers. For a long time, I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. When I did move away, to pursue my career, I was never sure if each destination was my ultimate home, or if I’d end up back among those mountains. For a long time, Chicago looked like a good choice – and who knows, maybe I’ll retire there someday – but for now, it’s not the right place for me to settle down. Villa Park is. My fiancée and I spent a good portion of the spring of 2013 home shopping across DuPage County, and we found something to like in just about every community we visited. If you want that tight-knit feel of a Chicago neighborhood, without some of the issues (and sales taxes!) that life in the big city can bring, then DuPage is a great place to be. We didn’t really know any-
