Woman’s clubs assist in school supply drive Hope’s Front Door began back-toschool collection and distribution project nearly a decade ago
By Jonathan Samples staff reporter Since the early ‘90s, Woodridge police have worked with Special Olympics Illinois to help raise money and awareness for the more than 21,000 athletes who compete in 180 competitions annually. That union gained another partner Wednesday during Westwood College’s Family Funapalooza, an event to raise money for the Law Enforcement Torch Run. And like so many Torch Run events, raising awareness of Special Olympics Illinois was a goal on equal footing with fundraising efforts. “If you don’t have the community involved, you can have as many fundraisers as you want but you’re not going to have the impact you want,” Woodridge police officer Dan McIntyre said. McIntyre worked closelywith Westwood College to organize the Funapalooza event, and he has been active in many Woodridge Police Department fundraisers for Special Olympics Illinois such as the Super Plunge and Torch Run.

Junior woman’s clubs from Downers Grove and Woodridge are once again partnering with a local not-forprofit to collect and distribute school supplies for children in need. Hope’s Front Door, formerly Walk-In Ministry of Hope, provides a widevariety of human services for families and individuals struggling financially that ultimately promote self-sufficiency. Hope’s Front Door began their back-toschool collection and distribution project nearly a decade ago in order to expand on the piecemeal approach they had taken up to that point, according to the charity’s executive director Janelle Robinson.

Medical society earns award from Economic Development Corporation Awards recognize projects completed last year The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy received a Cornerstone Award from the Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation for its Institute for Training and Technology, which opened in 2013. The annual awards recognize projects that have been completed in the preceding 12 months and are judged on their economic impact and facility design. Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully presented the award to ASGE CEO Patricia V. Blake, during the DGEDC annual luncheon June 26. “ASGE is truly honored to be a recipient of this prestigious award,” Blake said during the awards presentation. “On behalf of ASGE’s 13,000 members, we are proud to call Downers Grove our home and we enjoy bringing physicians from all over the world to attend educational events at the IT&T. “Although we have only been in our new headquarters for just over a year, we have already welcomed more than 4,000 people, representing attendees from 47 states and 35 countries, to our Downers Grove facility.” This was the second year the DGEDC presented the awards. ASGE was one of three Cornerstone Award winners this year. Advocate Healthcare and Grundfos were also recognized. “A robust economic development program is critical to a community’s success in growing
its tax base,”Tully said.“It is also a component of Downers Grove’s stellar financial rating, which ultimately results in cost savings to our residents.” ASGE is a professional medical society representing the physicians who perform endoscopic procedures such as colonoscopy. ASGE had been providing learning opportunities at its previous Institute for Training and Technology in Oak Brook. This new facility is situated on a 3.5-acre plot in Downers Grove at Esplanade at Locust Point and serves as the global home of endoscopy, offering a full range of medical training and continuing medical education. The new facility uses nextgeneration technologies and will foster the development, training and adoption of new techniques in order to improve physician performance and advance patient care. The center has attracted visitors to Downers Grove from around the world. The facility is designed to meet the training and meeting needs of medical professionals, health technology manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations. The IT&T functions as both a live and virtual learning environment, with stateof-the-art connections within its walls (connectivity between the auditorium, meeting rooms and laboratory facilities) and throughout the world. Real-time, two-way broadcast capability via Internet 2 or satellite offers the flexibility to conduct interactive trainings or presentations nationally or internationally.

Local library offers home delivery service Patrons may also receive audiobooks, older feature films and nonfiction DVDs, magazines When Barbara Rudd of Lisle suddenly found herself confined to her apartment due to an extended illness, a friend told her about the home delivery service available at Lisle Library. “Going to the library just couldn’t happen, but I’m an avid reader,” said Rudd. “This [program] is the reason I stayed sane while I was getting better. I would get six and eight books at a time and escape into another place.” Rudd, who signed up for the home delivery service about 18 months ago, is one of about 40 patrons who regularly use the program. Those interested in the service must reside in Lisle, own (or acquire) a library card, and be unable to get to the Lisle Library due to disability or situation which prevents visiting in person for an extended period of time. For Rudd, it wasn’t only about gaining access to library materials

Field chases rookie Elliott By Mark Gregory sports reporter
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
After talking to the Bugle last week about his early success in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Chase Elliott led 85 of 200 of the EnjoyIllinois.com 300 Saturday night at Chicagoland Speedway to claim his third win of the season. The win ties Kyle Busch for most wins in the series so far this season, each with three visits to victory lane in the first 19 races. “This is an unbelievable night,” Elliott said. “We were fortunate enough to be in contention on that last pit stop, the guys busted their butts for me and that was the deciding factor. As a team, we completed our task tonight. And that was the difference. I am very proud of our effort.” Elliott took the lead for the fourth and final time on Lap 177 and held on for the final 23 laps, winning by 1.7 seconds over Trevor Bayne. “We got our car turning there at the end,” Bayne said. “Had it stayed green for another 15, we might have had it, but that’s 15 laps we’ll never know about.” Sprint Cup regulars Kyle Larson and Kasey Kahne were third and fourth, respectively, while Ty Dillon was fifth. “Chase did a great job tonight,” Larson said.“He seems to be good at every type of track we go to. He seems like he is the one to beat every week.” Elliott’s win also vaulted him from third to the top of the Nationwide points standings. He now leads Jr. Motorsports teammate Regan Smith by seven points and Elliott Sadler by eight points. Smith, who
THE BUGLE JULY 23, 2014

was the points leader coming into the race, struggled with a loose car all race and finished 16th. “Over the last couple weeks, we have had fast race cars and unfortunately, something has happened,” Elliott said. “It hasn’t been a lack of fast race cars, we have just had some kind of hiccup during the race, but if we clean those up, hopefully we can do this again real soon.”
DASH FOR CASH Pole-sitter Brian Scott earned a $100,000 bonus in the Nationwide Insurance Dash 4 Cash for finishing sixth, ahead of fellow D4C competitors Chris Buescher (eighth), Elliott Sadler (10th) and Regan Smith (16th). Scott, the pole sitter, led 20 laps early, but could never get back once he gave up the lead. “I would trade this check in for the trophy and the win,” Scott said. “But, the bonus comes at a really good time. The team has momentum going into Indianapolis where we were second last year, so, hopefully we can hey in victory lane and collect another $100,000 there.”
FIRST TIMER While Elliott is making a splash in his rookie campaign, another up-and-comer made his NNS debut Friday in Joliet. Eighteen-year-old Erik Jones ran his first race in a NASCAR stock car debut in the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Jones was the youngest NASCAR Camping World Truck Series winner in series history last November at Phoenix International Raceway and he won his second career NCWTS race last weekend at Iowa Speedway for Kyle Busch Motorsports.

review
bolingbrook
Precisely perfect Course challenging, yet fair When the Bugle Newspapers first featured Bolingbrook Golf Club, I was still recovering from back surgery and wide right not able to get by mark gregory out and play with Scott, so I was excited to have a shot at one of the local public gems we have in the Voyager coverage area. The round opens with a straight, par-4 that plays roughly 390 from the whites and it is a hole that sets the tempo for the course. The secret - stay straight and in the fairways and you will be just fine. That, however, is easier said than done, as I managed to be in the sand more than the cast of Baywatch, finding both the fairway and greenside bunkers often on the first three holes. Hole No. 2 is the first of many times water comes into play on the course, as the fairway is dissected by the pond. Length is needed off the tee box here if you are to clear the water, as well as accuracy on your second shot to stay out of the green-side bunker. The third-hole plays a long 500plus yard par-5 which has a pair of fairway bunkers, one on each side of the landing area. If you wind up in one, the smart play is to navigate out safely and not be a hero, which
could land you in one of two more traps guarding the green. Some relief comes on a playable par-3. This is one of my favorite holes on the course, as the buildup behind and to the right of the green gives you the feel of playing a secluded, valley hole. Take advantage of the quaint hole because it is followed by a daunting par-5 that plays 600 yards from the tips (566 from the whites) and requires solid golf shots to navigate water on the left and sand on the right. The sixth is another precision hole that leaves you with decisions, as the hole features two bunkers to the right of the fairway, two to the left and one in the middle. No matter if you decide to lay-up or try and carry the center bunker, be precise. A small, slightly elevated green awaits a solid next shot. No. 7 has plenty of room to the left and plenty of water to the right. A solid tee shot will allow you to carry the water that splits the fairway from the green, but a short drive makes you choose. Personally, I was left off the tee, but short and had no problem finding the water as I made the wrong choice on my second shot. The eighth is an intimidating par3.Only playing 139 from the whites, the green features a picturesque retaining wall, branded with the club logo.The narrow green has a bunker to the left, forcing players

to attempt to just carry the wall and sit nicely in the center of the putting zone. I can tell you from experience, don’t hit the wall, the bounce off will make a spectacular splash, but not a spectacular score.The smart move here is just to stay out right and take the bunker out of play.The right side offers the most green and has a grassy landing area next to it, so a miss would still offer a cleaner chip shot than if you were in, or behind the sand. The front nine ends with a 400yard par-4 that, like the rest, is playable if you miss the water that lines the fairway to the left and stay out of the fairway and greenside hazards. The par-5 10th is a very favorable hole, playing less than 500 yards
from the whites and only two bunkers that are avoidable with plenty of room in front of the green to work with. Two well-hit shots could leave you putting for eagle. After a friendly, 365-yard par4, players will need to navigate a long, dog-leg right par-5 that winds around a lake that guards the right of the fairway. Number 13 is the longest of the par-3’s, playing 185 from the whites. Don’t be afraid to be a little short here, as there is room to play with in front of the green.The 14th has water on the left can be taken out of play with the large fairway, but if you want a better approach shot and you have precision off the tee, flirting with the pond is the way to go.
Next is the club’s signature hole and there is no question why. The 127-yard par-3 (156 from the tips) requires a soft approach over water to an island green. There is room on the back of the green, so being long here is a better play than short, but figuring out the wind and choosing the right club here is key. After the par-3, the round ends with three long, but playable par4s. Number 16 has one of the largest landing areas for your tee shot, but one of the smaller greens on the course.The 17th is a slight dogleg right that has the green wrap around the water, while 18 brings you home with water on the right. Stay straight and long here and you will end your round happy.

Mistwood again hosts Women’s Open By Scott Taylor sports editor
staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports
The 20th Annual Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open returns to Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville. This year’s Women’s Open will take place Monday, July 28 to Wednesday, July 30. The IWO is a 54-hole stroke play event. After the second round July 29, the low 40 percent and ties will qualify for the final round. Entries were eligible to all female professionals and all female amateurs with a USGA Handicap Index of 15 or less. The players must be at least 17 years old as of July 28, 2014, but special exemptions were possible. The entry fee was $275. As of press time, tee times and a field list were not posted. The total purse was not posted, either. After Aimee Neff won backto-back titles in 2008 and 2009, there have been four different winners the past four years. Last year Elise Swartout of Ann Arbor, Michigan defeated Nicole Jeray of Berwyn in a playoff. Both finished the tournament with a 213 total, 3-under par. Chelsea Harris of Normal and Caroline Powers of East Lansing, Michigan, both finished one stroke off the pace. The defending champion, Samantha Troyanovich, finished in a tie for 25th at 13-over par. Last year there were several locals who competed in the open, including: Jessica Yuen (Bolingbrook), Brittany Johnston (Plainfield), Tiffany Boak (Woodridge), Krystal Garritson (Lockport), Rachel Oberheide (Park Ridge) and Liz Schwartzers (Downers Grove). A field list/tee times will be available at www.mistwoodgc. com/iwo at least 72 hours prior to the start of the tournament.
Last year was the second year of the new renovation of the course at Mistwood and the accolades for the course continue to pour in. Most recently, Golf Inc. Magazine selected Mistwood third in the world among public renovations over $1 million. The only courses ranked higher were Camelback Golf Club in Phoenix and Doral’s Blue Monster in Florida, the host of the World Golf Championship’s Cadillac Championship. Tiger Woods has won the event seven times, including twice since the move to Doral in 2007. The criteria for the review were based on routing, playability, maintainability and aesthetics. It was also based on before and after photos, as well as how the project met its budget and goals. “This most recent award by Golf Inc. is a major recognition,” Mistwood owner Jim McWethy said in a press release. “As the owner, I am proud beyond words of this recognition, and am extremely thankful to all those who put in their heart and soul to turn a dream into this wonderful course.” Earlier in the year Mistwood was also recognized by Golf Digest and GOLF magazine with the honor of “Best U.S. Renovation You Can Play” award. “Placing third in a worldwide competition like this was a very significant accomplishment and being recognized by my peers and selected alongside these other great projects was humbling and thrilling at the same time,” course architect Ray Hearn said in a release.“The renovation improvements we completed at Mistwood have helped to elevate the course into a ‘must play’ category among the elite courses in the Midwest. My work for this great course was a true labor of love.”

No treating student loans like a mortgage Dear Dave, I have a very large amount of student loan debt. Where would that go in your Baby Steps plan? Jade Dear Jade, Baby Step 2 is where you pay off all debt except for your house. The fact that it’s a large amount of student loan debt doesn’t change anything. Hopefully, with your very large amount of student loan debt, you also have a very large income. Believe it or not, there are some really sad situations out there where people have gone $200,000 into debt for a fouryear degree in a field where they make $50,000 a year. That kind of thinking and behavior is ridiculous, but it’s out there. Whatever you do, Jade, don’t treat this student loan debt as if it were a mortgage. In other words, don’t let it hang around for years and years and years.

Help kids stay organized for fresh start By studying smarter, staying organized and keeping motivated, students can learn to juggle it all (StatePoint) Back-to-school time means another year of tests, team tryouts and club meetings -- but it also means an opportunity for students to have a fresh start. Whether your kid is an ace academic or has found it challenging to stay on top of a to-do list, there are many ways to get prepared for a successful school year. By studying smarter, staying organized and keeping motivated, students can learn to juggle it all.
Study Tips Cramming at the last minute doesn’t work. Encourage your student to start studying well in advance of test day. Pacing during study time gives the brain a better opportunity to absorb information. In many ways, the pen is mightier than the computer,
>> working together, from page 1 “I’ve got so much invested in this, and the reward is fantastic,” McIntyre said. “It’s such a rewarding experience, and that’s what we’re trying to get across to the community.” Hundreds of Woodridge residents attended Family Funapalooza between 4 and 7 p.m. at Westwood College’s DuPage Campus, 7155 Janes Ave., Woodridge. Children and parents were treated to games, face painting, music and more during the free event. Volunteers dressed as Queen Elsa and Princess Anna from the 2013 Disney film “Frozen” performed songs and posed for photographs, and the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office provided parents with free child identification kits. “We just started getting creative with ways to try and draw the community out to support this event with a bunch of different activities,” said Jeff Hill, campus president at Westwood College’s DuPage Campus. Planning for the event started four months ago, and Hill said he reached out to Westwood’s
cell phones or calculators. Encourage students to decorate notebooks and binders with stickers and drawings, or choose their supplies based on favorite styles and colors. Just be sure the items chosen are highly functional. Multi-use supplies, such as the Five Star Flex Hybrid NoteBinder, acts like a notebook and works like a binder, making it easy for students to have everything they need in one convenient area. 
particularly when it comes to taking notes.Writing notes down is almost like etching them into your subconscious. Formulating the words and reviewing them as you go is the best way to retain materials.
Organize When it comes to lockers, backpacks and school supplies, organization is everything. Different systems work for different students. For example, some prefer to arrange their lockers by sequence of the day, whereas others prefer to sort items by subject or color. The important thing is finding a system that works and sticking to it. Use tools to support the system and help maximize sought-after real estate. For lockers lacking shelf space, consider creating your own -- just be sure the
faculty and staff, as well as other community partners, to ask for their help. Several local businesses such as Cypress Cove Aquatic Park, Hollywood Blvd Cinema, and Aurelio’s Pizza donated items to be raffled off during the event, and more than 30 volunteers from Westwood College donated their time. “A larger event like this requires a lot of people working together, and the college has been so accommodating,” McIntyre said. “They hit the ground running, and they’ve done such a good job so far.” Hill said Westwood College has been worked with the Woodridge Police Department on various fundraising efforts in the past, adding the college also will take part in the Woodridge Police Department’s annual golf outing to benefit Special Olympics Illinois on July 25. As part of its “Campus to Community” campaign, Westwood College has made community service an important part of its curriculum. “We’ve donated over 6,000 hours of community service over the last two years,” said Phil Smith, director of marketing communications for Westwood College. “Jeff’s team has done a

during the school day, so make it your own with artwork, photos, and a dry erase board. It’s also an area to refresh -- so consider hanging a mirror, like the Five Star Foam Mirror + Storage accessory which not only acts as a mirror but also a space to hang notes and store pens, pencils,
If your kid is rocking out to their favorite song, while texting their best friend about the latest gossip, then you can guarantee they aren’t concentrating on homework. Turn off the distractions and the work will get done faster and more accurately. More study and organizational tips can be found at www. MeadFiveStar.com. For better grades and more success, get this school year started on the right foot.
