WESTMONT – This year’s Taste of Westmont was treated to great weather, leading to crowds at the annual festival over the weekend.

“We couldn’t have asked for better weather,” Mayor Ron Gunter said. “It was very successful and well-attended.”

With the theme “A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit

Rock And Roll,” the festival included food, live entertainment, a carnival and games.

The festival was led by a team of volunteers organized by the Westmont Special Events Committee.

“I can’t say how pleased I am that they were able to provide such a huge community event,” Gunter said. “That’s phenomenal.

I was very pleased with the turnout.”

Police arrest man Med student delivers baby on accused of shooting last ride-along in Westmont says at group of people 25-year-old delivery was SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT – A Melrose Park man has been charged for allegedly firing a gun at a group of people July 5 in Westmont.

Francisco Marquez, 20, of 4116 North Park St., Melrose Park, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon July 10, according to Westmont police.

Stay local. Save local.

About 6:15 p.m. July 5, Marquez allegedly fired m u l t i p l e rounds at a group standFrancisco ing in a parkMarquez ing lot near Chicago and Linden avenues in Westmont from his maroon Ford Explorer.

No one was struck or injured in the incident, Westmont Sgt. Stephen Thompson said.

Thompson previously said police believed a specific group of people was targeted in the incident, though it was not believed to be gang-related.

a ‘team effort’

By KRISTIN PEDICINI kpedicini@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – In the process of his required 480 ridealong hours, a 25-year-old paramedic student recently had an opportunity not many people get.

About 2 a.m. July 2, in the middle of his last ride-along with the Westmont Fire Protection District, med student Robert Deubel delivered a baby girl in an ambulance on the way to Adventist Hinsdale Hospital.

“It was a unique opportunity,” said Deubel, a Woodridge resident. “Something you can learn from and that I’ll

never forget.”

A call for a woman in labor at an apartment came in the middle of the night, Deubel said.

“She said it was her fourth (child),” Deubel said. “We could tell we had some time, but being her fourth, we knew we had to hurry up.”

Adventist Hinsdale Hospital was about an eight- or nine-minute drive from the woman’s apartment, he said, and halfway there, she made an announcement.

“In one push, the head was out, and in a second push, the whole baby was out,” he said.

“It was pretty exciting.”

After graduating from the University of Illinois with a degree in kinesiology and witnessing two births in clinicals, Deubel said he knew what to do.

“It’s just applying what you’ve learned,” Deubel said.

“You’re a little nervous, obviously; that was the first time I had to do anything.”

He was joined by two other paramedics – Kathy Meier and Caleb LaLonde of the Westmont Fire Protection District.

“It was a team effort,” Deubel added. “We had a whole crew; it wasn’t just me. There’s

no way I would’ve been able to do it without their help.”

In her 12 years with Westmont Fire, Meier said she only has seen two deliveries.

“We get people in labor all the time,” Meier said. “But they always make it to the hospital and up to the ER.” Deubel recently took his final paramedic exam. Passing the two-and-a-half hour assessment will allow him to look for full-time paramedic jobs, he said.

“Hopefully I get in the fire department somewhere,” he said.

Lynn Dralle, EMS director at the fire department, said within the next couple of months or so, there will be presentation at Village Hall, where the medics will receive stork pins.

THE CANKER SORE A: A canker sore, sometimes called an Apthuous ulcer, is a sore that usually appears inside the mouth in the soft fold of mucosal tissue where the inside of the cheek meets the gum or where it meets the lips. A canker sore may also develop on the soft palate, the floor of the mouth or the side of the tongue, Canker sores have a variety of causes. In some cases, the sore can be brought on by stress. Biting the lip can cause one. A slight irritation caused by a toothbrush bristle or a nick from a bone fragment may lead to one.

Nutritional deficiencies can play a role.

A small canker sore is generally not very painful and does not require treatment. It will usually disappear in a week or two. Large ulcers, though, which can grow as large as two centimeters, can become extremely painful and require treatment.

Temporary relief can come from application of a topical anesthetic ointment. Canker sores are not contagious.

Talk with your dentist for more information about canker sores.

the western suburbs, if you want to go see live music or comedians, you’re heading to the city,” Erickson said. “We don’t want to make things crazy expensive for people.

We want to give people an opportunity to come again and again without it costing an arm and a leg.”

Westmont Station is Erickson’s and Olmstead’s second proposed theater in downtown Westmont. Last fall, they tried to re-open the old Westmont Theatre building at 25 S. Cass Ave. but fell short in fundraising efforts.

SD • Wednesday, July 17, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Reporter | Progress

WESTMONT – After getting the green light from the Westmont Village Board in January, developers Keith Erickson and Eldon Olmstead said they have made progress on their proposed downtown theater, but both admitted frustration.

“I think things have progressed nicely,” Olmstead said. “Anything good takes time. If it was easy, it would’ve already been done.”

Delays trying to soundproof the building, 11 W. Quincy St., have pushed back construction, said the developers, both Westmont residents.

“We want to be good neighbors,” Erickson said.

“And based on the way that the approval was done by the village, we have certain levels that we need to meet.

“We’d love to make it happen right now. But if we had to put a date on it, we’re be looking at around Halloween

tion, your destination for entertainment.’”

The theater is planned to be all-ages venue with a variety of entertainment, including comedians and bands.

Local entertainment groups will be a priority, Olmstead said.

“There are a lot of really good musicians that just don’t have a venue to play at,” Olmstead said. “And it would be kind of fun to give folks a shot.”

The two say they haven’t lost faith in their idea.

Olympic fencer finds success, struggles in distance running “If you have a plan, and put steps in place, and set the bar higher than you think you can reach, anything is available for anybody. I truly believe that.”

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Last July, for the first time in his 58 years, Olympian Michael McCahey’s body wasn’t cooperating.

The Downers Grove resident broke his elbow after slipping on a wet floor, and then a week later, he fractured his leg while training for a marathon.

Few things would have been more frustrating for a man used to setting athletic goals and then pretty much always reaching them. As a 10-year-old, McCahey told his father he wanted to be on the U.S. Olympic fencing team, shorty after discovering the sport at the Chicago Athletic Club.

“And he said, ‘I’ll support that if you commit to it,’” McCahey said. “And so I did.”

As a lanky and initially uncoordinated child, his first competition did not go well, but McCahey developed the

Michael McCahey, 58, of Downers Grove leads a group of runners during a weekly fun run held by Dick Pond Athletics on Thursday in Lisle. McCahey, a member of the 1984 US Olympic Fencing team, recently started retraining for marathons after multiple injuries last year. discipline that would serve him well moving forward.

“I listen well, and I built a good foundation of techniques, which is the attitude I started

to take to any sport – which is to learn the foundation, learn the technique, learn the fundamentals and then work at it very hard and you’ll be successful,” he said. “I’ve taken that philosophy in everything I’ve done in my life, whether it be business or athletics.”

By his senior year of high

school, McCahey won the U.S. National Championship, and the following fall, he attended Notre Dame on a fencing scholarship. The team won two NCAA championships, and after competing internationally, McCahey joined the U.S. Olympic team in 1980.

He was close to his dream, but world events would delay the realization for four more years.

– how ironic,” he said. “Sixty-seven percent of the athletes voted in support of that boycott, including myself. We felt it was not in keeping with the Olympic spirit to go compete for peace and harmony on the soil of a country that was invading its neighbor. It put a big dent in my Olympic dream.”

McCahey kept training for four more years, and by 1984, he ranked higher internationally than in 1980, he said, and he led the U.S. team’s efforts in the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.

Walking in the opening Olympic ceremonies almost was “beyond description,” he said.

“Your whole life as an athlete you dreamt of this and visualized it. I saw myself walking in there with almost all of the other top athletes in the world, and when it actually happened, it’s almost surreal.

So you soak in the sounds of the crowd and the lights and the pomp and circumstance.

“And I would have to say it’s probably the greatest feeling in the world.”

NAPERVILLE – As a Benet Academy football player jumped in a bounce house, his smile was reflected on the face of the child in his arms.

The Benet Academy sophomore and varsity football

teams hosted the second annual Benet Football Field Day on Friday for students in the School Association for Special Education in DuPage County’s summer school program.

About 75 SASED staff members, 90 football players, 45 football parent volunteers and several football coaches gathered on the grounds of Southeast Alternative School in Naperville to put on the event for the second year.

“It’s a great day of memories,” said Lisle resident Mary Runger, creator and coordinator of the event. “Part of the whole idea is to get the seed planted to consider ways to give back. Even in preparing for the football season, we take a chance to recognize that.”

“My students talk about [Field Day] as the ‘best day ever in summer school,’ and some have been going to summer school for 15 years.”

Rich Laren A program administrator for SASED

About 122 SASED students ages 3 to 18 participated in the two-hour event, which featured 15 activity stations.

Activities included an inflatable bounce house,

DOWNERS GROVE – Singing Mozart in the cathedral in which he composed it to be performed turns the structure into a sort of giant resonating instrument.

“When you sang, your sound literally went like a pinball machine off every surface, and it came back and hit you,” Downers Grove South choir singer Caitlin Carlson said. “It was our last song, and a lot of people started crying, as well as the choir members, because we worked so hard, and that was the moment when it paid off.”

Caitlin Carlson and about 30 other members of the South High School choir performed in the marbled interior of the Salzburg Cathedral in Austria in June at the Mozart International Choral Festival. The choir was invited by one of the festival’s guest conductors to sing a piece Mozart wrote for the building, along with some American spirituals and other music.

“The sound was unbelievable,” South High School singer Mara Alvarez said. “We’ve all done tons of concerts and things at our school, but that

was definitely such a treat to be able to sing at such a great place.”

The expensive trip was a culmination of hard work for many choir remembers, some of whom paid their own way by selling tickets to a raffle organized by parents and by working the kind of jobs synonymous with teenage summers.

When Carlson and her friends and fellow singers Alvarez and Andrew Mahlan heard from choir director Joy Belt-Roselieb about the trip last spring, they agreed to work hard to make it happen.

Each choir member got to put $9 of every $10 raffle ticket sold toward the cost of the trip, and the remaining $1 went to a trip emergency fund. Parents collected donated prizes, including a grandprize trip for two to Paris.

“There are many kids who went on this trip who didn’t just have their parents write a check,” said Caitlin’s mother, Rita Carlson. “They worked through the entire school year to make this trip a reality for themselves. It’s not just their hard work as musicians, but also their realization that this was a unique honor to be invited to this.”

Caitlin raised the full $3,400 for her trip between the raffle and working for a year at Marshalls. Alvarez covered a large chunk through selling raffle tickets, and Mahler worked as a pool lifeguard and sold tickets to fund his portion.

For the trio of South High School seniors-to-be, working hard for something made it even sweeter.

“It made it so much more special for all of us,” Mara said.

The beauty of Austria also was nearly overwhelming, right off the plane, Caitlin said.

“We took pictures that you’d think we stole off of Google,” she said. “It’s like (the scenery) came with its own Kodak editor. It was too pretty, it felt like it was beyond us.”

And as a huge “Sound of Music” fan, seeing the picturesque hills of Austria and the two main cities in the movie – Salzburg and Vienna – were more than just a little added bonus for Caitlin.

“We got to go to the exact places they filmed the movie,” she said. “It was really cool.

We felt like total dorks, but it was fun.”

8SOUND OFF In favor of pavers As a Downers Grove taxpayer, I offer a sincere and hearty thank you to the [School District 99] for installing the permeable pavers in the North High School parking lot.

Considering what we know and teach about water quality, this decision shows that the district is serious about its role as educator, not only of its students, but also of the community. The pavers allow rainwater to flow through them and into the ground, where it is cleaned naturally and returned to our local river or stream. With asphalt lots, the water flows across the surface, picking up dirt and toxins and carrying them to the storm drains, which lead straight to our local rivers or streams.

The moral integrity of today’s politicians To the Editor: Even in the time of Abraham Lincoln, you needed moral integrity plus either political capital or political savvy to get anything meaningful accomplished.

Lincoln had the moral integrity and political; today’s politicians are floundering with only political capital and savvy. President Barack Obama’s lack of moral integrity is keeping him from accomplishing his agenda even with political capital and savvy at his disposal.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has the moral integrity but lacks the political capital and savvy and, thus, can’t get any of his agenda approved by the Illinois House.

House Speaker Michael Madigan has political capital and savvy, but his lack of moral integrity is keeping the Illinois government prisoner for the sake of his daughter Lisa Madigan’s gubernatorial intentions.

So, why are the citizens of Illinois voting for losers in every election we have had?

We need a change.

what to know N about flu vaccines

o matter how flu season shapes up this year, one thing’s for certain: Not everyone older than 50 is going to get vaccinated.

Despite universal recommendations urging every person 6 months and older to get vaccinated, many Americans don’t get the flu shot, said Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the Department of Preventative Medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

“Absolutely, unhesitatingly, no doubt. You should get your flu shot. And especially older people,” said Schaffner. “People 50 and older are the age group that will experience the most complications from influenza and they will be more serious complications, such as getting pneumonia or ending up in the hospital hooked up to a ventilator.

Dr. Lisa Grohskopf, medical officer with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said “For more mature people, getting the flu shot is really important because as we age the immune system doesn’t respond as well as it did when we were younger.”

But just how good is the flu virus?

Last flu season, the vaccine was 56 percent effective when it came to curbing flu-related medical visits, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For people 65 and older, that number dropped to 9 percent effectiveness for the season’s most prevalent flu strain.

Those statistics are eye-opening, but they should not stop you from getting vaccinated.

“It’s not a perfect vaccine like the measles or polio vaccine is perfect. But it’s the best we have right now,” Schaffner said. “I like to use the quote from Voltaire: ‘The perfect is the enemy of the good,’

meaning that waiting for a perfect vaccine in the future is a sure way to catch the flu this season.

While some people believe that the flu is just a bad cold, it’s really a “devilish virus,” Schaffner said.

“It can take a healthy person and in just 48 hours put that person in intensive care,” he said.

Older people are more at risk than the general population. People who are more likely to experience serious complications from the flu are “older, have an illness such as diabetes, are overweight, have underlying heart or lung disease or” whose immune systems are compromised, Schaffner said.

“This is the one (illness) that year in, year out sends more than 200,000 to the hospital and causes over 30,000 excess deaths,” Schaffner added.

The experts have answers ready for the doubters who say, “I got the flu shot, and then I still got the flu!” You may have caught the flu, but it made the illness milder, Schaffner said. “If you went to the doctor, you avoided going to the hospital,” he added.

Older adults do a better job of getting their flu shots, with about 66 percent of people 65 and older vaccinated each year, Schaffner said.

“One way to look at it is, that’s a huge achievement, but on the other hand, one-third of folks were not vaccinated,” he said.

While the big push to get a flu shot begins in September when the vaccine becomes available, don’t hesitate to get vaccinated later in the season.

“The peak month for the flu is February,” Schaffner said. A flu shot is “so easy to get,” especially at walk-in clinics offered at many pharmacies and grocery stores.

You can’t get the flu from getting a flu shot, but it can come with some side effects, Grohskopf said, such as soreness, redness or itching at the site, or a mild fever or cold, which is preferable to the flu.

By Money Living lot of people stress the importance of starting a retirement fund early, but many people don’t keep up with their retirement fund or even make one at all until it seems like it’s too late.

However, there are plenty of ways to start saving money to catch up with your retirement plan.

A

Set a goal A good start to catching up on your retirement fund is setting a realistic goal for the minimal amount of retirement savings that you’ll need. The essentials are really all that you’ll need to consider at this point.

Once you’re more caught up on your savings, you’ll be able to set the bar higher.

Every bit counts You should start saving money as soon as you can. Even a few dollars or a few cents is useful to your retirement fund. Even if you don’t have specific accounts or investments in order, you can still start saving up some cash to put into the fund later.

Get out of debt Debt is one of the many things that can destroy a retirement fund.

Take care of as much debt as you can at the moment, and create a plan to lower your debt in the next few years.

This is another area where every little bit counts. Even the smallest contribution toward lowering your debt can save you from hassle in the future.

Create a budget and monitor your spending Creating a budget is a great way to decrease your spending and maximize your savings for your retirement fund and future investments. Monitor your spending to get a good idea of what your weekly or monthly budget should

be. Monitoring your spending also will allow you to get a good idea of where to set your base savings goal for your retirement fund.

Investing in a 401(k) If your employer has a 401(k) plan set up for all employees, take advantage of it. Sign up and start contributing.

Contribute as much as you can whenever you are able to, and keep making contributions whenever you can.

Selling, relocating and downsizing If your children have left the house and you have unused bedrooms and space, consider moving to a smaller house to save on mortgage payments, heat, electricity, air conditioning and more. Selling your old house also will allow you to gain some extra money for your retirement fund. If you’re currently renting your house, downsizing to a smaller home will likely save you money on rent and utilities. Selling old items that you no longer need in yard or garage sales or on the Internet also can build up a good amount of money for your retirement fund.

Consider a second job Even if it’s just part-time and minimum wage, it’s still extra income that can be invaluable to your retirement fund. Look around for a second job that won’t interfere with your current job.

Manage your time wisely, and ensure that you can handle the stress of two jobs before taking another one on.

Put off retirement If you need some extra time to save, extend your deadline for retirement. It may be disappointing but it will allow you to save up more money and live more comfortably when you do retire.

W

hy not slow things down and enjoy the experience of travel by taking a train trip for your next vacation?

“There are many appealing aspects of train travel,” said Regis St. Louis, Lonely Planet travel writer and coordinating author of the 2012 “USA” guide.

“For one, it forces you to slow down and enjoy the scenery. You’ll have more of a connection to the lands you’re passing across — rather than just soaring over at 35,000 feet oblivious of the lavender fields, river valleys and other great scenery you might be missing.”

The benefits For some trips, flying can’t be avoided, but traveling by train opens up a world of possibilities with abundant benefits. Trains: ◆ Drop you right in the middle of the city where all the action is rather than at an airport in the middle of nowhere. ◆ Hit big cities and picturesque small towns. ◆ Allow you to take more luggage for free. ◆ Allow you to stretch out and move freely with seating that may be reserved or open, more comfortable and possibly with facing seats. ◆ Have sleeper cars where you can rest and wake up in another state or country. You can also save money on a hotel room by taking an overnight train to your destination. ◆ Offer more selection of departure/arrival times. ◆ Have no security checkpoints. ◆ May be less costly (unless you splurge) and are more environmentally-friendly.

“There’s also the camaraderie,” St. Louis said, “It’s easier to meet other travelers on a train. I think there’s something about this old-fashioned mode of travel that makes people more open to the delights of travel and sharing stories with others around them. … You’re also likely to meet like-minded travelers and that’s one of the great parts of travel — learning about other cultures and ways of life.”

Traveling by train beats driving, too. You’ll avoid busy roads and the stress of traveling on the highways.

“You can sit back enjoy the scenery, curl up with a good book or even do a bit of writing — letters, journals, stories — train travel seems conducive to the literary mind,” St. Louis said.

Train travel fits your budget, whether that means senior discounts on Amtrak,

coach seats and a bag of snacks carried along, or high-end trains with luxury accommodations and world-class chefs.

Fancy a drink? Many trains boast bar and cafe cars, which are a good place to relax with fellow passengers. Some trains even have smoking cars.

Where to go There’s no easy characterization of train travel. There are iconic long-haul journeys such as a trip along the Trans-Siberian railway, which stretches more than 5,500 miles from Moscow to Vladivostok, Russia, and takes seven days if you don’t stop. Other transcontinental trips traverse America, Canada and Australia.

First-time train riders might prefer a shorter trip and crossing a region rather than a whole country, or picking one country such as France or Italy, which have excellent train infrastructure.

On another short trip, Amtrak’s Adirondack leaves the skyscrapers of New York City behind and cruises through the Hudson River Valley past West Point, then hugs the shoreline of Lake Champlain for 50 miles before ending in Montreal 11 hours later.

History fans can step back in time and take a short journey on an old-fashioned steam train in southeastern Brazil or past Victoria Falls in southern Africa.

St. Regis’ favorite train trip is the scenic journey in the Douro Valley from Porto to Pocinho in Portugal, a beautiful half-day adventure into the heart of Portugal’s most spectacularly set vineyards.

Here are three other recommendations from St. Regis: ◆ In Canada, Via Rail operates the Canadian which makes the three-day journey between Toronto and Vancouver.

The scenery, which takes in the northern Ontario Lake Country, the western plains and the looming Canadian Rockies, is spectacular, and you’re likely to see eagles, elk, moose and even bear. ◆ The narrow-gauge Durango & Silverton train shows off Colorado’s scenic side. This vintage steam-spewing locomotive climbs from 6,500 feet at Durango to more than 9,300 feet in Silverton and takes around 3 1/2 hours to make the 45-mile journey. ◆ How about having breakfast in London, lunch in Paris and returning to England in time for evening cocktails? Hop on the Eurostar for a 180-mph trip that travels via Chunnel under the English Channel and departs every hour.

Local colleges talk federal student loan rate increase ready a trillion dollars in student loan debt, the job market isn’t favorable and, with that extra uncertainty, my concern is that families are going to decide to put off school.”

Dowling said about 5,300 COD students have borrowed under the Stafford subsidized loan program, in which the government pays student interest on the loans for as long as they are at least a half-time student. That’s roughly $14.7 million in grant money, he said.

Wheaton College’s Director of Financial Aid Karen Belling

said last year, half of the college’s about 2,500 undergraduate students financed at least part of their education using the subsidized Stafford Loan program.

Belling said in a statement that Wheaton College graduates have a 1.4 percent default rate on their loans, compared to the national rate of 13.4 percent.

“Nonetheless, we are always concerned about changes that increase costs for our students and will continue to monitor the discussion in Congress,” she said.

the event.

“The Benet students really step up to the plate and work well with the students,” Laren said. “My students talk about [Field Day] as the ‘best day ever in summer school,’ and some have been going to summer school for 15 years.”

SASED students in the summer program continue to work on the reading, math and socialization skills that they practice during the school year, Laren said.

SASED students received a T-shirt at Field Day and can come with family members and a guest to Benet Academy’s home opening football game for free.

In addition to being impacted individually, the football players felt their team bonds were strengthened by the event, said Nick Surges, who will be a senior at Benet Academy and also is one of the captains on the varsity football team. He participated in Field Day for the second time this year.

“The kids are truly an inspiration,” Surges said. “The amount of courage and perseverance and what they deal with every day truly opens your eyes that we are fortunate and blessed to live the life we do.”

Based on his experience with the event, Surges encourages others to volunteer.

“I became a stronger and more courageous person from those kids,” Surges said. “Really change your life and put yourself out there and help out those less fortunate than you.

It does change lives and makes you a better person.”

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com The rates on many future student loans effectively doubled July 1 when Congress failed to extend a reduced rate on subsidized loans.

While it is unclear whether that will remain the case at the start of the academic year, some area colleges are preparing how to respond if the reduced rate is not extended.

“It won’t have any effect on College of DuPage students today, because students can’t borrow until school starts,”

said Earl Dowling, COD’s vice president of enrollment management and student affairs.

“Congress will return from break and if – and this is the gamble – if they take it up, maybe students are OK.” Dowling said the official word they have received from

the government is to advise students to plan for the rate hike from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. While it won’t change the loans already taken out for past school years, future students will face increased financial difficulties pursuing post-secondary education, he said.

“Say a student from a Wheaton high school is planning on going to college and using loans to pay for housing,” he said. “If they were already having to try hard to make ends meet, now they will have to take that gamble. There’s al-

and will grow in the predator-proof area until ready for release. Typically, turtles that are raised by people before being released into the wild have an even lower survival rate than wild turtles do, but Brookfield Zoo is taking important precautions to condition the turtles for their discharge.

Unlike other rearing programs, the turtles will go through normal seasonal cycles by remaining outdoors all year at a small off-exhibit pond on the zoo’s grounds.

This will help prepare them for life in various weather and habitat changes. The space at the zoo replicates the turtles’

natural habitat and will be filled with native plants and logs. The turtles will forage on their own for food sources, such as snails, slugs and small fish. Although food is supplemented, the turtles will hunt for it themselves and not be handled.

“We are proud to work with Brookfield Zoo on this and champion the survival of Blanding’s turtles,” said Dan Thompson, ecologist for the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, in a news release. “Local wetlands, and the plant and animal ecosystem within them, improve our water quality and our understanding of the world around us.”

Having accomplished his goal despite the U.S. team not medaling in the ’84 Game, McCahey was ready to move on to other pursuits. Other than a few competitions, he left fencing behind and refocused to raising his two daughters and building his software sales career.

Athletics were largely in the rearview mirror until one of his daughters reached high school in 2009 and challenged McCahey to run with her so she could train for the track team.

“I trained for about a twomonth period,” he said. “I dropped about 30 pounds. I entered the 5k race, and I kind of got the bug for competition.

I won my age group for that race, and I thought, ‘This is a lot of fun.’”

McCahey found himself in a new sport, and typically, he set high goals.

“I entered the Chicago Marathon for my second competitive race,” he said. “It was a big leap, but I absolutely fell in love with the distance and running in general. I joined the Chicago Runners Association, and in 2011, I won the Chicago circuit in my age group for them.”

Things were going smoothly until July 27, 2012, when he was carrying his dog into the house on a rainy day. He slipped and fell, breaking his elbow.

“I convinced the doctor not to put it into a cast,” he said.

“We just put it in a bandage and a sling, so that when I was training, I could just keep my arm at 90 degrees. I could run with it; I figured I could deal with the pain and keep training. And then on the second or third of August, I was doing a track workout, and as I came around turn one, I planted my right foot and my right leg broke.”

McCahey was in a boot for 12 weeks and worked with physical therapist Shilpi Havron to heal.

When he was out of the boot, the muscles in his right leg had atrophied from lack of use, and he had lost his running speed and endurance. It was time for McCahey to set some new goals.

In November, he started training for April’s Boston Marathon. By Christmas, with the help of his physical therapist, he already was up to 40 miles a week.

At the Boston Marathon, he was back to near full-peak, and he finished an hour and 40 minutes before the first of the two bombs were detonated.

McCahey now is back to full strength, and last month he ran a personal best marathon time in Duluth, Minn., – 3 hours and 6 minutes – less than a year after two serious injuries.

“A goal without a plan is really a wish,” he said. “And wishes don’t often come true.

But if you have a plan, and put steps in place, and set the bar higher than you think you can reach, anything is available for anybody. I truly believe that.”

of collections and animal care for CZS. He also serves on the board of directors for the Turtle Survival Alliance, an organization that works to protect turtles worldwide.

Fostering a sustainable population through breeding is an important step to increase the Blanding’s turtle population, Zeigler said.

Blanding’s turtles in the wild have about a 2 percent chance of reaching maturity due to predators such as raccoons and herons. Brookfield Zoo received a group of young Blanding’s turtles from the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County that will be housed at Dragonfly Marsh

BROOKFIELD – Brookfield Zoo has developed a program for a turtle species that has difficulty surviving in the wild by creating an ideal environment for its re-population of the area, according to zoo officials.

The Chicago Zoological Society (CZS) has teamed up with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County for a re-population and release program of Blanding’s turtles at Brookfield Zoo to increase the local wild population.

Blanding’s turtles are endangered in Illinois and

threatened nationwide. CZS, which manages Brookfield Zoo, has created a breeding and release program that includes a new outdoor Blanding’s turtle habitat at the zoo’s Dragonfly Marsh exhibit. The program will allow CZS staff to develop and improve breeding and rearing techniques that will increase the species population and ability to survive on release. In the fall, 12 turtles will be released in DuPage County forest preserves to help improve the wild population.

“This is a key indicator species of the overall health of the area’s wetlands,” said Bill Zeigler, senior vice president

Are You Starting to See Excessive Dog Hair in Your Home?

It’s beginning … the annual shedding of the winter coat of your beloved dog.

The winter coat that your pet put on for the winter is beginning to release and allow for the summer coat to come in.

This can be a minor inconvenience for some, or a downright blizzard of blowing dog hair for some dog owners – depending on the type of breed and coat.

We have an awesome solution for you!!!!!

We will give your dog a full spring cleaning treatment using the Furminator De-Shedding system.

This system is specially designed to dramatically reduce the amount of hair you will have in your home.

This de-shedding system is a multistep process that uses special de-shedding tools, shampoo, conditioner and drying.

This service normally costs anywhere from $20 to $40 extra on top of a regular grooming. But for this ad only, we are offering this service with a regular grooming for FREE. Just to show you the math, a regular grooming runs about $43, and with the de-shedding system, add another $20. This is a total cost of $63 in value. You get it for FREE. What are the catches? Only one… We are offering this to new customers to Belle Aire Grooming.

If you have not had the chance to try our services, we would like the

opportunity to win you over with this fantastic offer. If you are new to us, give us a call at

630-969-3145 to book your appointment.

We have given away over 65 free groomings in the last three months and people are just loving what we’re doing for them. The first grooming is on us, so give us a call today because we really do book up fast because we only have a couple of spots open a day.

Finally, hopefully, we have seen the end of old man winter and we can start enjoying a new spring.

I wish you and your pet all the best this new spring time.

Warmest regards, John O’ Driscoll Owner Belle Aire Kennels & Grooming.

Restaurant reviews

Comfort, elegance and great food at La Tosca VILLA PARK – You can look all you like, but it’s unlikely you’ll find a more authentic Italian experience than La Tosca anywhere else.

As popular as Italian cuisine is, it can be tough to find a unique experience. La Tosca achieves this with ambiance, class and fine food.

When you drive up to the restaurant on St. Charles Road, it immediately stands out for its exterior, with an Italian villa-style façade and terra-cotta roof. Inside, you find they’ve somehow turned a dining room with an immensely high ceiling into an intimate setting, featuring lots of dark wood trim and a few faux cracks on the wall – evocative of Italy’s famously ancient architectural heritage.

As a dining companion and I settled in for a recent evening, we were presented with menus for dinner, the night’s specials and wines. A nice touch on the wine menu are the suggested pairings of wines and meals.

Knowing that I would likely opt for a pasta dish, I selected a glass of Ruffino Chianti. “Pair with pasta with tomato and grilled beef,” the menu says.

For an appetizer, my companion and I shared the

Mozzarella Alla Tosca, which layered prosciutto, mozzarella, roasted peppers, leafy greens and olive oil. It made for a light and savory enticement – very tasty.

Neither of us was in the mood for pizza, although La Tosca has an extensive list of options. I went for the Cannelloni Alla Romana: “Homemade pasta stuffed with meat and spinach with a basciamella tomato sauce.” My companion was tempted by several items on the specials menu, but ultimately went with the Saltimbocca: “Veal medallions, sage, prosciutto, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese in a demiglazed wine sauce.”

After I enjoyed a minestrone soup that came with my entree, and my companion had polished off a delectable garden salad, we were, in short order, presented with our main courses. Before even taking a bite, we knew we’d be leaving with takehome bags; the portions were attractively presented and so generous we knew we wouldn’t be able to finish everything.

I will admit that I heat up a frozen dinner for lunch now and then, and store-bought cannelloni is one of my more

Compared to what’s served at La Tosca, the microwaveable meal can hardly be considered food. I found myself letting each bite linger for a moment as I experienced all the subtle shadings of flavor.

And, as expected, half the entree ended up being my lunch the next day, and much better than anything I could get at the grocery store.

My dining companion said the veal medallions were tender and rich in flavor, and we were surprised to see that they also

came with a side of pasta with marinara sauce. They really don’t want you going home hungry!

For dessert, I went for the chocolate truffle gelato, and my companion chose the profiterole – mini cream puffs in a chocolate mousse – which our server confessed was a favorite. We ended up sharing each other’s portions, and, if pressed, I’m not sure I could choose between the two, as both were extremely rich and sweet.

Ronnie Dunn to headline Rockin’ for the Troops

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS dbehrends@shawmedia.com Ronnie Dunn admits he doesn’t know much about Operation Support Our Troops – America, but he’s willing to help veterans in any way he can. Best known for being half of the country music duo Brooks & Dunn, he is the headliner for the eighth annual Rockin’ for the Troops benefit concert Saturday at Cantigny Park in Wheaton.

Along with Dunn, performers include Motown tribute band The Voices, the Kimo Williams Band playing rock tributes and original music, plus rockers Arra. Advance tickets are recommended.

“I got a call from my manager, and we were able to do it,” Dunn said in a recent phone interview. “We’ve done countless things to support the troops – concerts at military bases all over the country. It would be great to not have troops in harm’s way, but at the same time, there’s always going to be an opportunity to serve and pay tribute to them.”

And expressing appreciation to the troops is what the volunteer-based, nonprofit OSOT-America is all about. For 10 years, it has embraced the mission: “to support the morale and well-being of American forces by providing comfort, resources and education to them and their families, both while they are de-

ployed in harm’s way and after their return.”

The packing and shipping of care packages to deployed miliRonnie Dunn tary members is one of the things the organization does.

As for Dunn, supporting the troops is not the only charitable work he has undertaken lately.

He was among the stars at Toby Keith’s Oklahoma twister relief concert July 6.

“We were actually on the ground outside Oklahoma City when the tornado came through Moore,” Dunn said of the May tragedy, noting that because of expected bad weather, he had

opted not to fly back to Nashville from a concert in Santa Fe, N.M. He said when his bus driver learned a tornado had touched down in Moore, “he fired up the bus, and we hit the road; we drove parallel to that storm system all the way to Memphis.”

That experience may find its way into a song in the future as Dunn’s music continues to evolve.

In response to people who call his new music “not country enough,” Dunn said, “There’s a place for that. I embrace it all. I can come out of a good, rocking song and dive into a hard-core country song. We’re at a time in this business when we’re redefining the rules.”

DOWNERS GROVE – Football season is already here.

“Kids with report cards, veterans and active servicemen, police officers and firemen are free,” said Thunder general manager and Darien resident Steve Sliwka. “Anybody from the Downers Grove Panthers or other youth football leagues are free. All they have to do is wear their jerseys.”

Fans who attend games won’t just get to see a Thunder team that has had tremendous success since its inception in 1991 (10 league titles and two national championships in 2007 and 2008), but also a group of hardwork-

Teams in the MSFL play according to NFL rules, which means full speed and full contact. The bumps and bruises are the same; the dif-

ference is the way the players have to deal with them. Locker rooms in the MSFL aren’t equipped with hot tubs.

“I’ve got a full time job,” Darien resident and firstyear Thunder fullback Phil Washington said. “If I get

injured, I still have to go to work the next day.”

Williams is part of a new crop of Thunder players. Several players are Thunder veterans, such as quarterbacks Jorge Sierra (Riverside) and Greg Holcomb (Downers

Grove). Washington, defensive lineman Dave Wisbrock (Westmont) and wide receiver Bryce True (Westmont) are league veterans but are new to the Thunder.

Wisbrock, in his 11th season playing semi-pro ball, last played with the Leyden Lions and said it was a no-brainer to join the Thunder, even though he’s recovering from an ACL injury.

Sentinels search for next batch of talent

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – In Robert Kokoszka, Jean Pietrzak and Ryan Schlicher, three key contributors for Westmont High School’s baseball team have been lost to graduation.

Players such as shortstop and University of Michigan recruit Charlie Donovan, pitcher/first baseman Greg Pietrzak, third baseman John Kelly and pitcher/outfielder Zach Moran – all expected to return next spring – are known commodities. It’s getting a glimpse of the younger talent coming through the ranks that makes the summer season so important for head coach DJ Cocks.

“What I want to see are the kids who were sophomores and are going to be juniors and the things they can do,” Cocks said. “I move guys around defensively and see where I like them, and that helps me a ton to get a feel of what they can do and can’t do heading into next spring.”

This summer has been especially helpful in regards to the pitching staff, which lost

Cocks has had a chance to get a good look of incoming sophomore Adam Doll and other players who could be coming up from the sophomore

Summer mission

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The summer baseball season is crucial for high school coaches.

Even though the spring season won’t start until March, the summer is prime time for coaches to get a glimpse of the talent that will be on hand come March. Sometimes that’s easier said than done, thanks to Mother Nature.

“The unfortunate thing is we’ve lost 10 games this summer” Downers Grove North coach Chad Isaacson said.

“There was one week we had four of five games washed out.

We’ve played nowhere near as many as we have in the past.”

Even with weather playing a role, Isaacson and Downers Grove South coach Darren

Orel have made the most of their time with the players this summer.

After losing Division I players and front-of-the-rotation pitchers Zach Burdi, Brian Glowicki and Danny Mayer, as well as wins leader Nick Alfini, to graduation, Orel said the summer season has been especially crucial for next season’s potential pitchers.

“I think our pitchers have benefited more than our position players,” Orel said. “Usually you don’t say that because you’re usually stretched thin at pitcher, but we’ve had such strong pitching the last couple years that it’s been hard to develop kids.”

To get a grasp on what the rotation could offer next spring, Orel said he has at times switched pitchers every inning of a game. As such,

said. “It’s good from a pitching standpoint to mix it up and use a bunch of different guys.”

During the summer season, there isn’t practice time

like there is during the spring so any coaching usually is done spur of the moment.

“We’re always instructing and helping them get better,” Cocks said. “If we’re not happy with what we’re doing defensively, we go through what the problem is and what we have to do to fix it.”

With Donovan, Moran and incoming junior Andrew Rosol splitting time between travel ball and high school ball, the Sentinels struggled through the summer season and were 3-10-1 with one game left before the summer playoffs started Monday. Based on their record, they were a lower playoff seed and had to play a play-in game against St. Francis in the playoff opener.

Fortunately, wins and losses aren’t as important in the summer as they are in the spring.

“Of course you want to win, but the main thing is to go out, have fun playing and see what the guys can do,” Cocks said. “It’s beneficial for the players and for the coaches and me to see what they can do on a full-time basis.”

Mustangs search for new pitching staff; Trojans implement daily routine

Chris Pedrak, Matt Zinnecker, Nick McKinney, Ryan Jordan, Anthony Vattimo, Joe Becht and Danny Spinuzza have seen action on the mound.

“For us, the summer is a time to evaluate what we have and try to answer some questions and figure out what we have and what we need to focus on,” Orel said.

Evaluation is a big part of the summer for Isaacson, but just as big a part of the season is getting players on board with what they can expect from varsity ball in the spring.

“As coaches, we try to implement a daily routine so they all understand – pitchers, catchers, infielders, outfielders – the stuff we do every single day,” Isaacson said. “We try to get a head start on that daily routine so we can hit the ground running in the spring.”

She added another highlight July 9 when she committed to continue her career at Illinois State University.

Daly was one of the Mustangs’ top hitters this spring, batting .407 with 46 hits, five home runs, 30 RBIs and a team-high 38 runs scored. She was a junior leader on a young team that caught fire at the end of the season and won two postseason titles on the way to an appearance in a supersectional game.

“It’s not every day you get to play with a bunch of potential first-round draft picks,” Burdi said. “We have 15 All-Americans on our team, so the talent playing defense behind me is something special.”

Taking a cautious approach with his arm, he has not thrown in a game since July 1.

“They (Louisville coaches) want me ready for fall ball, so we’re just being cautious with it,” Burdi said.

On the mound or not, Burdi said there’s something special about representing his country.

“Being able to put on that jersey and represent the USA, not many people can say they’ve done that.”

DOWNERS GROVE – This has been a summer to remember for Nick Burdi, even if he’s not playing as much baseball as he wants.

The flame-throwing 2011 Downers Grove South graduate, who drew national attention hurling 100 mph fastballs while pitching for the University of Louisville this spring, has been suiting up for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team. He has been making all the road trips, including a seven-day trek to Japan from July 5 to 11, but so far, a touch of bicep tendinitis has limited his action. Despite that, it’s been a special summer.

“The love of the game. That’s why I do this every year,” Sierra said. “I’ve been playing

Veterans like Sierra and Holcomb met in the offseason to discuss this season’s goals, and they’re hoping to take a “family vacation” to Miami for the national championship at the end of the season.

“If we don’t have the opportunity to play for a national title, the season won’t be a success,” Holcomb said.
