GET TO KNOW: GLEN MISSAGGIA By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com

LEM • Friday, April 19, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter/Met

LEMONT – A troubling period compelled Lemont resident Glen Missaggia to pour his heart and soul into his involvement with the Knights of Columbus. Last year, Missaggia’s wife died of cancer. The Knights provided support and fraternity for him during this difficult time, he said. “You get back much more than what you put into it,” Missaggia said of his involvement with the organization. “There’s a lot of camaraderie.” The fellowship of other members isn’t the only benefit Missaggia has realized. He will receive the Victor Cardosi Award for charity, unity and community April 20 from the Diocese of Joliet Chapter of the Knights of Columbus. “Glen is a quiet man who doesn’t seek the limelight,” said Lemont Knights of Columbus member Bob Porter in his nomination entry for Missaggia. “He is the first volunteer arriving on all K of C projects and the last one to leave.” A member of St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church, Missaggia serves as a lector, member of the choir, handbell player and Eucharistic minister. During his 11 years with the Knights, he has held the titles of deputy grand knight and grand knight. He also has worked as the chairman for projects concerning membership, intellectual disability, Right for Life, the Kops-n-Kids program and the Mother Theresa annual picnic bingo game. Missaggia served four years

Come On In and Experience A Downtown Salon in the Suburbs....

LEMONT – Family-owned businesses Aurora Rose boutique and Ace Hardware recently hosted ribbon cuttings for new Lemont locations. The events provide anecdotal evidence to support village-cited numbers that indicate business growth in Lemont is on the rise. “It felt like the right place to be,” said Kimberly Peters of Burbank, who owns Aurora Rose with her daughter, Amber. The mother-daughter team was drawn to the charm of Lemont’s historic downtown as the location of their Stephen Street store. The artisan gift shop carries locally made specialty foods, bath products and accessories. Prior to opening Aurora Rose, Kimberly worked in financial services and Amber had a career in real estate. In the wake the recession, however, both women found themselves unemployed. Kimberly saw this loss as an opportunity to start a boutique, something she’d wanted to do for years. Originally located in Willow Springs, Aurora Rose moved to the village last fall, with its first location closing only eight days before the shop in Lemont opened Nov. 24. Kimberly and Amber held an open house and ribbon cutting to introduce themselves to the community April 16. A few days before Aurora Rose’s event, Ace Hardware of

Lemont hosted a grand opening from April 12 to 14. The festivities included three days of sales and promotions, a visit from home improvement expert Lou Manfredini of WGN radio and “Today” show fame, and a ribbon cutting featuring Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves and village trustees. Like Aurora Rose, Ace opened in late 2012. Co-owners and spouses Dan and Pattie Harris previously owned an Ace location in Orland Park and have one in Palos Heights. The new Lemont store is on State Street. “Lemont was a market that we saw a great opportunity to grow into,” said Dan. The village worked with Ace for more than a year to solidify the business’s presence in Lemont, said Reaves, who added that the only similar store in the community is Peterson’s Hardware. A hardware store is likely to fare well in Lemont, said Dan, because the village has a high home ownership rate, meaning that residents are more likely to have a vested interest in home improvement. There are also a variety of types of homes in the village. Thus far, seven businesses have opened in Lemont in 2013, said Village Administrator Ben Wehmeier. There are 21 businesses that have opened in the village in 2012, meaning that annual business growth is slightly ahead of last year’s pace. “The residents of Lemont support their local businesses,” said Reaves.

Lemont library enters ‘a brave new digital world’ By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Public Library may have more in common with an Apple Store than a bookstore in a year or two. Increasingly in recent years, the Lemont Public Library District has worked to curate and program a facility for the 21st century reader by incorporating technology into its landscape. “Things have really changed quickly,” said Library Director Sandi Pointon. “If all we are about is books, we’ll become a museum.” In honor of National Library Week, April 14 to 20, the library is hosting several programs exploring digital devices and products under the

theme “It’s a brave new digital world.” Chief among these is the Bring Your Own Device sessions, a series of classes teaching device and product use for the iPad, Kindle Fire, Nook and Android tablets. The BYOD sessions are designed to highlight digital services that offer content such as ebooks, magazines, audio and independent film, all of which are accessible for free with a public library card. The library is also conducting demonstrations of various products and devices throughout the week. Lemont’s librarians now spend half their time providing digital device and product assistance, Pointon said, to

will be designated for digital services, Pointon said. Children’s programs are now using iPad technology, projecting books from an iPad onto a big-screen TV for increased visibility during story time. Recently, the library created a new part-time position for an instructor who will

exclusively teach iPad tutorials. Pointon, who admits to doing 95 percent of her reading on-screen, said she doesn’t see technology as a threat. Rather, she sees it as a tool and a chance for the library to expand its services, venturing out into that brave new digital world.

Are you ready for the upcoming Parasite Season? Heartworm season is upon us! Due to the mild winters experienced over the past two years, this summer’s heartworm risk is going to be very high! Heartworm Disease is caused by worms that infect the heart and lungs of your dog and cat and is transmitted by mosquitos. Your dog could become infected with heartworm if he is bitten by a mosquito that has bitten another dog carrying this deadly parasite. Unfortunately, heartworm disease is found in most parts of the world and every state of the United States, which means your dog is at risk. Most dogs with Heartworm Disease do not show signs of illness. We here at Animal Care and Reproductive Service, L.L.C. can diagnose Heartworm Disease, as well as other intestinal parasites. We ofer medications that can be given as a treat once a month. Even if your dog is on heartworm preventative every month, he or she should still have the blood test annually. If your dog is one of the unfortunate individuals who is diagnosed with Heartworm disease, we can treat and cure it. However, since the treatment of Heartworm disease is dangerous and expensive, prevention is a far superior to treatment. Fleas and ticks have also taken advantage of the recent mild winters! his summer, your pets are at increased risk of becoming infested with leas and ticks without proper protection. Your pet will pick up leas and ticks if he or she is exposed to other pets, wild animals, or their living areas which are infested by these pesky parasites. Fleas cause extreme discomfort to human and animal members of the family because when they bite and suck blood of any mammal, they cause intense itching. Aside from the obnoxious itching, leas can transmit tapeworms to your pets. Ticks, while not as irritating as leas, are far more disgusting and dangerous. Ticks also bite and suck the blood of human and animal family members. When ticks bite you or your pet, they can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis. hankfully, lea and tick prevention and control is as easy as applying a couple of drops of a liquid medication to your pets back once a month. he easy and efective lea and tick prevention medication is available at ACRS. Get ready for everything the upcoming beautiful weather has to ofer, and make sure your beloved companion is ready for summer too! Bring your dog in today for an exam, a heartworm test, and heartworm, lea, and tick preventative medication.

the extent that technology inquiries have nearly surpassed traditional reference requests. In order to better gauge public interest in technology and programming, the library is conducting a survey throughout April. But even without the survey results, Pointon has a grasp on what readers are looking for: technology-oriented devices and programs. “There’s more demand than we can keep up with,” she said. The library recently began offering web-based printing. It is in the process of upgrading its WiFi. One of the library catalogs is an in-facility iPad, said IT manager Fernando Alfonso, and the district is considering adding a mobile computer lab as well. Patrons today use library services as a commitment-free opportunity to testdrive new devices, Alfonso said.

Each device costs about $200, which is covered by the district technology budget. The library’s annual operating budget is about $1 million, with technology comprising 8 percent of the resources. In order to meet the growing demand for a digital media experience, the district is moving away from traditional library amenities such as a comprehensive print magazine collection. Instead of subscribing to the print editions, the library will place several tablets in the magazine section to provide easy access to digital publications, the need for which has eclipsed that for print magazines.

LEMONT – Lemont High School District 210 employees have a new way to save for retirement. The Board of Education unanimously adopted a second district deferred compensation plan during its April 15 meeting. The 457 (b) plan offers district employees the choice to defer compensation at their own cost, interim business manager David Middleton said. The plan has broader participation perimeters than the district’s existing option, which is only available to employees with a public pension. “I’ve never seen a 457 plan in a school,” said board Secretary

Michael Shackel. “Typically, municipal employees have a 457.” Adopting the new plan brings no additional cost to the district and allows employees to participate in the program in bulk to aggregate the cost. Also at Monday’s meeting, the board voted unanimously to set the district capitalization threshold at $2,000. Middleton said school district threshold settings typically range from $1,000 to $5,000. Additionally, the board voted to establish the head coaches at Lemont High School for the 2013-14 winter season and approved contracts for the school photographer, athletics photographer and copier. The board also unanimously approved a settlement agreement.

LEMONT – Mere minutes after Lemont resident Christine Kickels crossed the finish line at the 2013 Boston Marathon, she heard the explosions. Kickels was one block from the site of the detonation this week of what CNN is reporting to be two pressure-cooker bombs. The blasts killed three, including an 8-year-old boy, and sent 183 to the hospital. “People were calm, but it was starting to set in,” Kickels said of the moments after the explosion. Trapped in a gated block, Kickels initially wondered if the noise was a water or oxygen tank that had burst. She looked to nearby television crews for some indication of the situation’s severity before deciding to walk back to her hotel, which was on the same block as the explosion, to meet her family. Soon she heard the first-re-

sponders. Ambulances and firetrucks tore past her toward the site of the blast. “It was unreal,” Kickels said. “I must have seen 20 ambulances.” Back at the hotel, Kickel’s sister, Amy Bugala, awaited her return. Bugala had finished the race 45 minutes prior to the explosion and was in her hotel room when the bombs went off. “We didn’t know where Christine was,” said Bugala. She waited 15 minutes for her sister. Bugala said that as the moments passed, she never stopped believing that everything would be all right. “I knew inside that she was going to be walking through those doors soon,” Bugala said. The sisters were participating in the marathon with the Yankee Runners group of Oak Forest. The 2013 race was Kickel’s first Boston Marathon and Bugala’s third. Both hope to participate in the event again.

Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com

People from both Lemont and Bolingbrook recently stepped up big time for the granddaughter of Carl Churulo, chief of the Lemont Fire Protection District. Katie Churulo, 4 years of age, has been diagnosed with two unrelated diseases: truncus arteriosus and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. A benefit held April 5 at Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill in Bolingbrook raised more than $21,000. This is an extraordinary response to people who are obviously dear to the hearts of many. The aspiring artists at Old Quarry Middle School are displaying their creations until April 28 at the Lemont Center for the Arts and selling them to raise money for the district educational foundation. More than 100 works of art are available for viewing and purchase. Each piece costs $10. Proceeds from all sales will benefit the Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A Educational Foundation. The center is in Lemont Village Square, 1243 State St., Unit 101.

The financial plan was written to reflect and incorporate the key concepts of the strategic plan, while simultaneously maintaining a threeto six-month cash reserve. “We will always be targeting to have a balanced budget,” said Superintendent Susan Birkenmaier. The district will contribute $1.3 million to build the fund balance in the 2013 fiscal year, in addition to a $500,000 annual contribution toward increasing the fund balance in 2014 and 2015. D113A officials project that the district will see growth in revenue in 2014 and 2015 based on trends indicating an increase in the Consumer Price Index. The district projection summary provided by PMA Financial Network sees D113A closing out the 2013 fiscal year with a balance of $4.1 million, or 20.75 percent

8NEWS BRIEFS Homeschoolers may qualify for services LEMONT – Representatives from parochial elementary and middle schools in Lemont and parents of disabled students who are homeschooled are invited to offer input about how they would like Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A to spend funding from the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Act, according to a news release from the district. The consultation meeting is 10 a.m. May 20 in the conference room at Old Quarry Middle School, 16100 127th St. in Lemont.

of expenditures, after starting the year with a balance of $2.1 million. PMA predicts that by 2018, the district will have a year end balance of $6.3 million, which is 24.78 percent of estimated expenditures. However, board members expressed concerns about the role that factors out of the district’s control may play in D113A’s financial future. “This assumes everything, all the underlying assumptions, are accurate,” said board member Al Malley. Board member Mike Aurelio addressed worries that the plan could become irrelevant if the district experiences a spike in enrollment.

“The age demographics of Lemont may change somewhat,” he said. “I’m just concerned.” Nevertheless, Birkenmaier said administrators believe that by 2017, every class in D113A will contain no more than 29 students. Board members voted in favor of the plan with the exception of Aurelio. The financial plan must now be approved by the Illinois State Board of Education. The state board is scheduled to meet May 16. If the district can prepare the plan for state review before the end of April, ISBE can consider plan approval at its May meeting.

LEMONT – The Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A Board of Education voted Tuesday to approve the district’s fiveyear strategic plan and its financial plan. The strategic plan is a conceptual design of what the district hopes to achieve in the next five years. The financial plan projects a three-year overview of the district’s expected financial developments. D113A officials began work on the strategic plan last fall. It was written to address several areas targeted for growth and improvement within the district. These include leadership, organization, student-centered focus, curriculum, instruction, classroom technology, communications, partnerships,

outreach and operations. “This was a very difficult process,” board President Dave Molitor said. “Considering revenues that we had, I think the administration did a phenomenal job.” The board voted unanimously to approve the strategic plan. Board member Karen Siston was not in attendance. During the course of developing the strategic plan, the district also determined a new mission statement, which also was unanimously approved by the board Tuesday. The statement reads: “The mission of District 113A is to provide students with an academic, social and emotional foundation to lead a productive and fulfilling life.” After the approval of the strategic plan, the board discussed specifics surrounding the financial plan.

Runner in Boston: ‘This isn’t right’ By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – Christine Bell was rounding the final turn of the Boston Marathon when she heard the two explosions. “I heard it go off,” she said. “Two of them.” She then saw a cloud of white smoke and thought, “This isn’t right.” Bell, of Naperville, was about 400 meters from completing the marathon when two explosions went off at the finish line of Monday’s race, killing at least three and injuring dozens. Someone nearby said the explosion sounded like a subway. With the finish so close, Bell — a teacher at Naperville Central High School — kept running. She saw a bunch of police officers start to run toward the scene “like in a movie,” she said. Bell reached a point about 200 meters from the finish before one of those officers told her to stop. “They stopped us and said, ‘Just wait,’” said Bell, who was told the bombs went off in garbage cans. After being pushed to the side, the runners were then told to move backward, Bell said. She reached the intersection of Boylston and Hereford streets, where she had made the final turn. But she didn’t know where to go, so she started asking people for help.

Boston police officers head toward the finish line at the Boston Marathon after two explosions went off Monday. A man who lived nearby gave her a sweatshirt to keep warm. Other runners around her were given trash bags, she said. Eventually, Bell found her way back to the bus, where her bag was being held before returning to her hotel. Bell, 45, has run dozens of marathons and is a member of the Dick Pond Fast Track Racing Team, which sent about 25 runners to the marathon, she said. The team is sponsored by Dick Pond Athletics, a running and sporting goods store with five Chicago-area locations, including one in Lisle. Eric Brechtel, manager of the Lisle location, was stand-

ing in front of the LensCrafters on Boylston Street for almost four hours of the race, waiting for his girlfriend, Amy Burns, to reach the finish line. Burns crossed the line after 3 hours, 55 minutes and 11 seconds. Brechtel and Burns then made the five-minute walk to their hotel. They didn’t hear the news until they turned on the TV. About 10 minutes after Brechtel and Burns left the finish line area, the explosions erupted. “I stood right in front of all those shops for like, four hours today, right where it happened,” Brechtel said

Monday afternoon. Initially, Brechtel had difficulty notifying people that he and Burns were OK. “I just got cellphone service,” Brechtel said about three hours after Burns finished. “I couldn’t even send texts. I would get a bunch of texts in waves, 10 or 15 in a row, but I couldn’t respond to any of them.” Brechtel said the hotel where he and Burns are staying, the Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers near the finish line, was on lockdown and that he and Burns had been instructed to stay in their room. FBI agents were inspecting the lobby, he said.

Restaurant reviews

Emmett’s great for a hearty meal, craft brew If you’re walking along Main Street in downtown Downers Grove, Emmett’s Ale House is bound to attract your attention. The bright, yellow brick exterior and yellow-andblack-striped awnings give it an old-fashioned yet well-maintained look that’s very inviting. And if you’ve worked up an appetite while strolling through town, the dining experience you’ll find inside is a good match for the fun, stylish exterior. We were looking for a place to get a nice meal and have a couple drinks on a weekend evening without feeling like we’d stumbled into a frat party. Looking over the menu, I was tempted by the tenderloin medallions (encrusted with horseradish, pesto and balsamic Bordelaise sauce) and the portobello steak (served with balsamic crusted portobello mushrooms and roasted tomato cream sauce). But I was in the mood for something slightly spicy, and opted for the Southwest chicken sausage pasta. Fortunately, I was very hungry, because the portion that arrived was unquestionably generous. The sausage and bow-tie pasta were served in a spicy marinara sauce along with broccoli, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and red peppers. The combination of flavors – enhanced but not overwhelmed by the spiciness – made for an enjoyable meal that had a slightly different aspect with each bite. Typically, a hearty pasta dish like that calls for a good wine, but I couldn’t resist a chance to sample an Emmett’s brew. I went for the McCarthy Red Ale, which was mild but flavorful, and a perfect counterpoint for the marinara sauce. My dining companion opted to order off the specials list and selected the shepherd’s pie, along with a side of sweet potato fries. The shepherd’s pie consisted of a generous helping of deliciously savory mashed potatoes atop a hearty beef stew. With the unseasonably cold spring we’ve had, it was just the right meal for the day.

Southwest chicken sausage pasta is served with a perfectly spicy marinara sauce. “Just thinking about it makes my mouth water,” my companion said. The ale house prides itself on matching home-cooked quality meals to unique, flavorful beers. “Emmett’s menu features traditional favorites prepared by our chefs in fresh and creative ways,” states the website. “Our chefs and brewers work closely together to create perfect pairings of food and handcrafted beer.” In an age of mass-produced food, Emmett’s notes it strives for responsible sourcing of ingredients. “We work hard with our purveyors to select ingredi-

ents that are sustainable,” the menu says, emphasizing a complete absence of transfat oils in the preparation of dishes. “We use … local produce when in season, and we also utilize sustainable practices in our breweries by donating our spent grain to local farmers as a food source for livestock.” Now that’s a dining experience you can feel good about.

Lemont’s Eric Tucker, fielding a ball April 6 at Wheaton North, belted a combined six hits in two wins Saturday and Tuesday.

Perfect league start By SCOTT SCHMID

Game box

sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT — In between rain showers, Lemont’s bats have managed to stay hot this spring. On Tuesday, the Indians pounded out 11 more hits in a 13-0 victory over Tinley Park in six innings. “From top to bottom, it seems every game, someone else steps up,” said Lemont coach Brian Storako. “The guys have put in the work. We have talent, it is just a matter of getting it done.”

Lemont 13 Tinley Park 1 Leading hitters: LEM — Eric Tucker 3-for-3, 2 RBIs; Marc Tokarski 1-for-2, RBI, 2 runs; Mike Papeirski 2B, RBI Ace on the hill: LEM — Cody Caballero 5 IP, 1 H, 6 K

One player who has gotten the job done so far is senior pitcher Cody Caballero, who improved to 4-0 on the season

after allowing just one hit in five innings. “Cody threw strikes like he has been doing all year,” the coach said. “We came out from the get-go with our bats and hit the ball really well and that made it a little easier for him. “He worked hard in the offseason and I think things have fallen in place. He’s got that confidence that maybe he didn’t have in the past. He mixes it up and makes them put the ball in play. He doesn’t fall behind.” On Saturday, Lemont beat

Twenty-one hits in two games push Indians to 6-0 in conference play

Shepard 13-3 behind 11 hits. Jake Terrazas was 3-for-4 while Mike Wisz, Alex Broskovetz and Eric Tucker all had three hits. Wisz and Tucker had three RBIs apiece. That run support was more than enough for Jake Latz, the LSU-recruit who struck out nine in four-2/3 innings to record his first win of the spring in only his third appearance. “We had Latz on the mound so automatically you have a little more confidence,” Storako said. “Again, we hit the ball well

which has been our M.O. this season so far. “Jake threw the ball well. He’s getting acclimated a little bit so there is still room for improvement. The more he pitches, the better conditioned he will get. He will be fine.” The two wins pushed Lemont’s record in the South Suburban Blue conference to 6-0. “It is always nice to start off hot and not the other way around,” Storako said. “We are playing with some confidence and are hoping to continue to build on that.”

Lemont soccer scores big-time results By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT — For a Lemont soccer program that has captured eight consecutive conference titles, the Indians’ biggest tests often come from outside the league. On April 11, one of those opportunities presented itself and the squad passed the challenge with flying colors, playing Downers Grove South to a 1-1 draw. Alex Mihailovic scored Lemont’s goal off a corner kick from Kim Jerantowski. “We played our best game of the season,” said Lemont coach Rick Prangen. “We played really well and that was a big test for us. We started six underclassmen and used a little different formation but they responded well. The work rate was very good and the goal was wellearned.”

Game box Lemont 8 Evergreen Park 0 Goals: Alek Mihailovic 3, Nicole McKevitt 2, Madelyn Bermele, Kim Jerantowski, Lauren Lumsden

Returning to South Suburban Conference action on Tuesday, the Indians breezed to an 8-0 victory over Evergreen Park. Mihailovic netted a hat trick and Nicole McKevitt scored a pair of goals, including one on a penalty kick. Kelly Fritz notched her seventh shutout in goal. “The nice thing was we had talked about when you are playing a team that has never beaten you,” the coach said, “you want to set a tone right away. And we did that in the first 20 min-

utes. That showed maturity on their part.” Mihailovic is the team’s leading scorer through nine games (6-1-2 record) while midfielder Kim Jerantowski is playing at another level. “For Alex, being a sophomore vs. being a freshman is a difference,” Prangen said. “In the box, she is a good goal scorer. She is doing what we expected her to do. She is a big part of the team. “And Kim is a special player. I haven’t seen a better player than her this year; she is one of the better players in the area. Very few players can put a team on their back and she is that good. Her will to win is great to see. In 21 years doing this, I’ve come across special players and she is one of them for us.” After traveling to Reavis on Thursday, Lemont will play host to TF North Tuesday before heading to the Mo-

Mother Nature puts damper on Lemont softball’s hot start By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com LEMONT — The toughest opponent for the Lemont softball team as of late has been Mother Nature. After improving to 10-2 on the spring with a victory over Hillcrest April 9, the Indians saw scheduled games against Tinley Park and Lincoln-Way North canceled due to the weather. “It would be nice to get out and play,” said Lemont coach Chris Traina, who gave her team a few days off which corresponded with Lemont’s prom last weekend. Through 12 games, Rylie Jay is leading the team with a .610 batting average. Jay has knocked out nine doubles and five home runs and has driven in 26 runs.

Lauren May is batting .500 with six doubles, one triple and 16 RBIs. Also hitting over .400 are Brianna D’Amato, Karian Folliard, Maddy Vermejan, Carly Jaworski and Anna Smagacz.

Electric Aggregation – FirstEnergy Solutions

Campus Fighting Chance

Last year, in an effort to obtain lower electric rates for residents and small businesses, the Village went through the electric aggregation process of choosing an electric supplier. FirstEnergy Solutions was the supplier the Village chose. This was an opt-out option in which residents received a notice in the mail informing them of the chosen supplier, and if you did not want to participate, you simply returned the form. If you did not initially take advantage of this opportunity, you still have the ability to participate in the program with FirstEnergy Solutions. FirstEnergy Solutions’ ixed rate is 4.83¢ per kilowatt hour with an enrollment period through October 2014. There are no fees to enroll in the program. If you would like to switch to FirstEnergy Solutions, simply call them at 866-636-3749 and inform them that you want to be included in the program with the Village of Lemont. This pertains only to residents within the Village; unincorporated areas are not able to participate. If you are currently with another supplier other than ComEd, you should check if they impose any cancellation fee prior to switching your supplier. Further information is on the Village website or call the Administration Department at 630-257-1590.

Campus Fighting Chance will be held on Wednesday, April 24, 1-4 p.m. at the Lemont Police Department, 14600 127th St. Before your college-bound student heads off to campus, we will teach them street smarts and how to increase their safety during their college years and beyond.
