DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove native Lydia Wilson has been fascinated by her Croatian heritage since she was a child, sitting on her grandfather’s knees as he told tales about growing up in the country. She visited Croatia for the first time in seventh grade with her grandfather and has been back several times since. In September, she will return to Croatia on a yearlong Fulbright Scholarship to study how the country’s healthcare system can improve its cancer treatments. The trip will allow Wilson to strengthen her bond and connection with the country, and improve its healthcare system. “I couldn’t ask for anything more,” she said. “It’s what I’ve wanted my whole, entire life. It’s been my dream.” She said her findings after the year of observation also might be applicable in other countries with similar issues. In Croatia, about the same percentage of people have cancer as in the U.S., she said, but the treatments are about only half as successful.
ic for Tumors in Zagreb, the capital. She previously visited the clinic during her last trip to the country. “What I observed was probably similar to what you’d see in a small rural cancer clinic here,” she said. “It’s not that they’re doing things horribly wrong or hurting people, but there’s not many resources and it feels very small-time compared to what I’m used to working with here.” She doesn’t know exactly what she’ll find during the year in Zagreb, but said she expects her observation to fall into one of two categories: either there is not enough access to facilities in the country, or the treatment they’re providing isn’t successful. If she finds the treatment itself is inadequate, Wilson will be able to identify red flags and make recommendations on how to more effectively use the radiation equipment used to fight cancer. “Not everyone has access to shiny new facilities,” she said. “I believe that no matter where you live, you should have access to good healthcare. We just need to find a good way to do that and a way that works for everyone.”

Downers Grove’s Truax says he can ‘turn Illinois around’ Oak Brook business owner, former Army Ranger to challenge Sen. Dick Durbin in 2014 By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Doug Truax said given the option next election, he thinks voters will find his record as an Army Ranger and business owner favorable over that of Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin. Truax, a West Point graduate and co-owner of Oak Brook-based Veritas Risk Services, announced his Republican candidacy last week against Durbin, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat in his third term. He contrasted his business experience against that of Durbin, whom he characterized as a career politician. “He’s the past, the old guard,” he said in an interview Monday. Truax said he has focused priorities on tax reform, specifically lowering the corporate tax rate, closing loopholes and simplifying the code. Doing so would send a message of certainty to business owners and inspire growth, he said. Truax also said he wants to see more power returned to the states and reduce federal spending. “I think that, just as I’ve seen, many Illinois voters
have seen the years and years of decline here in Illinois and around the country,” he said. “No matter how Doug you measure it, Truax Illinois has been on a decline … and their policies have directly impacted what we’re seeing. I think we can turn it around. We just have to have the right policies and the right leaders.” This is Truax’s first venture into politics. He said he hopes to build a coalition of “independent-minded” Democrats, Republicans and young people frustrated with the slow economy. “I know it’s a big state, but it can be done,” he said. “There will be a lot of people interested in this race. Especially as it proceeds further and people see I’m a viable candidate and that Dick Durbin getting re-elected is not inevitable.” Truax, a New Mexico native, said he has spoken with state and national Republican party leadership, but did not say what was discussed. Durbin, 68, won his last three terms handily. The general election is in November 2014.

Office said. Their bodies were discovered in their home at 6211 Park Ave. during a well-being check at 2 p.m. Friday at the request of a relative, Downers Grove Police Detective Mike Willison said.
The couple had no previous history of domestic violence, Willison said. Police did not say what time they believe the murder-suicide occurred. The Smiths have an 11-yearold daughter, according to au-

Village to buy and demolish two houses affected by flooding By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Village Council voted July 16 to buy and demolish two homes in the 4400 block of Lee Avenue that have been damaged by flooding. The village will pay $280,000 for 4405 Lee Ave., and $300,000 for 4409 Lee Ave., according to village documents. The item was on the consent agenda and was approved without discussion during a council meeting July 16. May-
Ask Dr. Webster
Q: What is dentin hypersensitivity? A: Dentin is the relatively hard protective material that lies beneath the tooth’s enamel. Dentin, in turn, surrounds and protects the pulp, which contains the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels. If you have a tooth that is extremely sensitive to hot or cold, you may have the condition that is called dentin hypersensitivity. The condition can develop if the enamel has worn down over time, or gums have receded, exposing the root of a tooth. Also, it is not uncommon over time for enamel to develop microscopic cracks. The tooth’s exposure to extremes of hot and cold can make enamel expand and contract, leaving these microscopic fissures. Should any of these conditions exist, it can leave the dentin exposed. When this happens, consuming hot or cold food or drink, or exposing the tooth to cold air, can be painful. If you’re suffering from dentin hypersensitivity, your dentist may be able to put a sealant on your tooth that prevents the heat and cold from penetrating the enamel and stimulating the dentin. Or he or she may prescribe a gel or recommend an over-thecounter desensitizing toothpaste. Whenever you have a painful tooth, your first step should be a call to the dentist. Whatever the cause of the pain is, the sooner you get it diagnosed and treated, the easier it’s going to be to correct the situation.

Both addresses lay in a “localized poor drainage area,” according to village staff, and flood on a regular basis. Both sustained substantial damage in the April 18 storm, and both properties are served by a private septic system that does not function during large rain events. In other news, the July 16 meeting had only one item up for first reading, a one-year extension for the parking garage development agreement for the 3500 block of Lacey Road. The project would add two,

five-story additions to the existing parking garage at the site and add a new six-level garage. The village entered into the original agreement in August 2011 and granted the first extension in August 2012. The new extension, if approved, would end in August 2014. The developers, Hamilton Partners, told village staff they expect to begin construction in 2014 or 2015. Tully voiced support for the extension at the meeting. “We’d love to see the project actually come to fruition,”
Sale Dates: July 24th thru July 30th, 2013
he said. “And if granting another extension would help facilitate that then I think I’d be all in favor of it. And hopefully by Aug. 16, 2014, we’ll be talking about … construction.” Village staff recommends the extension, which will go before the Village Council for a vote at a future meeting. Hamilton Partners is requesting the extension to give it more time to lease office space at the location that was vacated when Sara Lee, now known as Hillshire Brands, moved to downtown Chicago.

8NEWS BRIEFS Business cited in tobacco checks by sheriff DOWNERS GROVE – During fiscal 2013, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office ran tobacco compliance checks at 41 businesses throughout unincorporated DuPage County. During the checks, deputies with the sheriff’s office accompanied minors as they attempted to buy tobacco products at local businesses. Of the businesses that were checked, four sold tobacco to minors and received citations. The businesses included BP Gas and Food, 2231 Maple Ave., Downers Grove; 7-Eleven, 2S651 Lloyd Ave., Lombard; BP WashN-Go, 2S780 Route 53, Glen Ellyn; and Wings Auto Repair, 22W070 Butterfield Road, Glen Ellyn. The tobacco checks were completed thanks to a grant from the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, which also requires sheriff deputies to provide education programs for tobacco retailers before running compliance checks on the businesses. “With nearly 20 percent of our high school students smoking, keeping tobacco out of the hands of our youth is a priority,” Sheriff John E. Zaruba said.

Heroin use a ‘public health crisis’ By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com DuPage County has seen 15 suspected heroin overdose deaths so far this month, coroner Richard Jorgensen said. If confirmed, the number would be a record for the county for a single month. With 18 confirmed heroin deaths so far this year, DuPage County is on track to surpass last year’s record-setting 38 heroin deaths. “We’ve been having this problem for a long time, but last month was a marked increase in suspected drug deaths,” Jorgensen said. “We’re way outside anything we’ve seen in the past.” The 15 deaths from July are awaiting toxicology reports.
DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin called the recent upswing in heroin use a “public health crisis.” He said that heroin today isn’t the same as the drug found a few decades ago, and the demographics for those who use it have changed, as well. “What we’re dealing with is a drug that is more powerful than anything we’ve dealt with before,” Berlin said. “Heroin today is 10 times stronger than what it was in ’60s or ’70s. And the fact that people can snort it or smoke it instead of inject it makes it more attractive to young adults.” Users of heroin in the county increasingly fall

DOWNERS GROVE Man allegedly videotaped up woman’s skirt A Woodridge man was arrested after allegedly placing his cellphone upside down on his shoe and then using it to videotape up a woman’s skirt at 2:40 p.m. July 17 inside Toys R Us, 1540 75th St. A store employee told police the man, later identified as Steven R. Meyers, allegedly followed a woman around the store, and then stopped to place the cellphone on the top portion of his sandal. When the woman stopped at the cash register, he stood behind her and extended his foot briefly between the woman’s legs, underneath her skirt. The employee wrote down Meyer’s license plate number as he left the store. Police stopped the vehicle and charged Meyers, 39, 1329 Hillcrest Lane, Woodridge, with disorderly conduct.

WHEATON – Food, fun, car crashes, animals and classic rock are among the attractions awaiting those who attend this year’s DuPage County Fair today to Sunday. The fair opens each day at 8 a.m. and lasts until 10 p.m., with games and events throughout. Cindy Naberhaus, one of the directors for the fair, said that if the weather cooperates, the event hopes to attract more than 100,000 people over five days. “I think it’s popular because we’re a county fair and people in this area love to go to festivals,” Naberhaus said. “All our events help take kids and families back to the country and back to family.”

SparkTruck visits Downers Grove SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – Stanford University students brought the innovative spirit of Silicon Valley to Downers Grove this weekend with the “educational build-mobile” called SparkTruck. SparkTruck was started by students at the university who were curious about education and technology and now are touring the country presenting free workshops to kids. Both initial sessions scheduled for Sunday in Downers Grove sold out, as did a third session added to meet demand. “People were, across the board, very enthusiastic and very excited about it,” said Kristi Kattapong, spokeswoman for Friends of the Gifted and Talented of Downers Grove. During the workshops, younger children made “Vibrobots” – feathery creatures that scoot around using a battery and pager motor. Older children participated in a Lego robotics session. The event was hosted by the Friends Lorae Mundt – lmundt@shawmedia.com of the Gifted and Talented of Downers Kids make “Vibrobots” by using a vibrating pager motor and coin cell battery during a SparkTruck hands-on workshop Sunday at Grove and the village of Downers Grove.

STAYING ON TOP OF YOUR GAME We feel our best when we do our best. At the top of our game is where we all want to be. This is as true in the workplace as it is on the basketball court. To stay at the top of your game at work and in life, you need to stay primed- ready for that next big play. It requires staying alert, keeping your skills sharp, and hearing your best That’s right – hearing your best. Listening doesn’t typically come to mind as a highly coveted job skill. But the truth is, listening is one of the top skills employers look for in those being promoted, according to the International Listening Association. Both business practitioners and academics identify listening as one of the most important skills for an effective professional. Individual performance in an organization directly relates to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. And good listening skills are even tied to effective leadership. So if being at the top of your game – especially on the job – is what you’re after, pay attention to your hearing. Hearing your best is the irst step to good listening skills. For those with hearing loss: be encouraged. Today’s modern, sleek, and barely visible hearing aids can help the vast majority of people with hearing loss. In fact, the days of letting unaddressed hearing
loss stand in your way are long gone. Today’s hearing aids are digital, wireless, and can be as discreet or as stylized as you choose. They allow you to hear from all directions and in all sorts of sound environments, so you can more easily discern what people are saying. So whether you’re a mechanic, a plumber, a nurse, a teacher, an executive, a police oficer, a customer service representative, an attorney, or in any line of work, there are hearing aid technologies to deal with hearing loss that can help. Remember
that you are not alone. Roughly 60 percent of Americans with hearing loss are in the workforce overcoming the very same challenges you are. Research shows that hearing aids really do help. A study by the Better Hearing Institute found that using hearing aids reduced the risk of income loss by 90-100 percent for those with milder hearing loss and from 65-77 percent for those with severe to moderate hearing loss. What’s more, people with hearing loss who use hearing aids are nearly twice as likely to be employed as their peers who do not use hearing aids. Eight out of 10 hearing aid users say they’re satisied with the changes that have occurred in their lives speciically due to their hearing aids. It improves how they feel about themselves to positive changes in their work lives, relationships and other social interactions. Face it. You’ve got too much game in you to slow down now. So play at the top of your game. Stay at the top of your game. Make an appointment with your trusted, professional audiologist and learn how you can hear your best today. -Adapted with permission from the Better Hearing Institute.

Immigration enriches, strengthens economy Starting in the late 1800s, immigrants from all over the world were lured to the Chicago area for the tremendous opportunity for low- and high-skilled work in railroads, canals and heavy industry. Without immigrants, the place we call home would not be as economically developed, culturally rich and deeply diverse as it is today. The Chicago area is a testament to how legal immigration helps enrich and strengthen the economy. But because of our country’s broken immigration system, we cannot take advantage of the enorCOMMUNITY mous opportunity that legal immigration delivers. In VOICE Washington, I am working Peter Roskam to fix the system. Here’s where I stand: The first action we must take is to secure our border. One aspect of this deals with the hundreds of thousands of people who attempt to cross the U.S.-Mexico border every year, and in increasingly dangerous areas. Our open border incentivizes criminals to traffic humans, weapons and drugs into America. This seriously lucrative profession causes bloody turf wars in border towns like Ciudad Juarez between drug cartels to take control of the best smuggling routes into America. Not only do these fights involve brutal violence on the Mexican side of the border, the open routes give criminals easy access into the U.S., where many more innocent people and agents have been claimed victim. Another urgent security fix deals with foreign travelers who overstay their visas, who make up 40 percent of those here illegally. They arrive here legally and simply never leave. People overstaying their visas are nearly impossible to track, posing a significant national security risk in a post 9/11 world. Once we pass measures to secure the border, the House can work on individual bills, voting on each separately. For example, we can produce legislation that will attract workers through high-skilled visas, grant seasonal permits to agricultural workers through a guest worker program, and set up a process by which undocumented immigrants can get right with the law. By working through small bills that fix targeted problems, we will ultimately solve the bigger problem in a way that is transparent and easy to understand. This is in direct contrast to what the Senate has passed – one massive, complicated bill that few lawmakers

The lineup Tonight: Cake Decorating July 31: Ricotta Cheese & Classic Recipes Aug. 7: Cupcakes 101 Aug. 14: Summer Mushrooms Aug. 21: Blooms & Bubbles to make these items.” Department heads from Standard Market lead each class. Kate Deck, Marketing and Communication Manager for Standard Market, said the classes were launched last year after requests from customers. “To be able to learn and meet the chefs really appeals to people,” Deck said. “People really look to their expertise and can learn something from a professional and apply it at home.” Although the classes have been featured only during the summer months, Deck said they’re hoping to keep it going through fall and winter, and even incorporate cooking classes for kids. Dalough, whose official title with Standard Market is “Cheesemonger,” said the cooking classes have been well-attended and well-liked among participants. “Anytime you start talking about fresh ingredients, people get really excited,” he said. “I’m going to give you the tools, but I also want to give you the knowledge so you can have fun and do it for your friends and family.”

WESTMONT – It was a ladies night out for two Westmont women and their mother at Standard Market’s Wednesday night Summer School. Carrie Murrow, Brandi Shugars and their mother, Ruth Alinder, enrolled in the grocer’s summer cooking classes July 17, learning how to prepare fresh mozzarella and pesto from scratch from Standard Market “Cheesemonger” and chef Colin Dalough. “It was well organized, very informational, and he was especially attentive to the people who asked questions,” said Murrow, who went to culinary school. “It was nice to refresh my skill levels and learn something different.” Standard Market, 333 E. Ogden Ave., hosts the Summer School sessions every Wednesday through Aug. 21, each night with a different theme. “Sausage Making” was June 26, while upcoming classes include tutorials on “Cupcakes 101” and “Summer Mushrooms.” Murrow, Shugars and Alinder chose the cheese class because they were intrigued by the idea knowing how to make fresh mozzarella and pesto from scratch. A fee accompanies each course and typically is $25 a person. For Shugars, it was a price well worth it. “I don’t think we’ve ever had something like this in this community,” Shugars said. “It’s a really good way to gather and socialize and plus learn how to cook.” Murrow said the classes allow the cook in her to see food preparation from a different angle. “It’s interesting to learn that things are simple to make,” Murrow said. “You don’t necessarily have to follow a recipe, and you don’t have to be a professional chef

between the ages of 16 and 24, said Kathleen Burke, CEO of the Robert Crown Center. “The perception is that heroin is a drug from the old days that nobody messed with,” she said. “But with the low cost, rising access and the rising use of pain pills as a gateway has made it more prominent.” Those who have died so far have come from a range of backgrounds and areas, Jorgensen said, although Burke said the recent deaths include more youth than ever before. Rates of middle and high schoolers using heroin have increased, she said. That rise, she believes, also is caused by social pressure. Pressure, she said, that some choose to alleviate with $10 bags of heroin. “The research we did initially indicated there were some potentially underlying

mental health issues that kids are not being diagnosed with,” she said. “It’s not necessarily people experimenting with other drugs. Instead, it’s people who are trying to normalize, feel like they think everybody else feels.” Tom Stamas, vice president and clinical director of substance abuse treatment center Serenity House, said now, half of his clients are addicted to heroin. That number drastically has increased from an estimated 15 percent a decade ago. “In the past, you’d say there were more risk factors, but we’ve seen so many children coming from well-adjusted families that I don’t know if that’s the case anymore,” Stamas said. “We have seen many individuals who come from good families who don’t have mental health issues, and yet they’re coming to us.” Stamas said addiction is more complicated than per-
sonal weakness. “Just know that help is out there, and that’s why treatment centers are out there – to help people,” he said. “Today, there is a stigma of treatment where people try to keep things secret.” Burke said education is the only prevention of heroin use. The Robert Crown Center is attempting to change the dialogue with young adults about heroin use to focus on its dangers. Berlin, too, stressed the importance of supporting potential users and former addicts and saving the hard sentencing for those who distribute the drugs. “We cannot arrest and prosecute our way out of this problem. It’s too big,” he said. “You can arrest somebody for possession of heroin, we can send them to prison for a year, two years, and they’re going to get out in half the time, and they’re going to keep using.”

Autoimmune condition? Living with an autoimmune disorder can afect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like goling, biking, yard work and gardening. Did you know that leaky gut syndrome is a precursor to an autoimmune disease? Did you know that your gut makes up 80% of your immune system? An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your own body. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jefrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.
Are you sufering with any of these autoimmune disorders? • Hashimotos hroiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogren’s Syndrome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthenia Gravis • Ankylosing Spondylitis • Perniscious Anemia

Medications are not always the long term answer. Medications can give you temporary relief but they DO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of your immune imbalance. All medications have side efects. hese side efects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.
Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? here is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance. So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of speciic NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic herapy. Your Brain (nervous System) controls all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, endocrine (hormone) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.
Your immune system. here are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are sufering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). his leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.
Testimonials I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. hrough comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach. Samantha R. I sufered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side efects were bad. Ater an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. Ater 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great. Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders. Holistic herapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause. 2) lowering the self destructive efects of the immune system. 3) using natural therapies that work with your body.
I can work with your immune system NATURALLY and balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder. BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by speciic recommendation based on those tests. Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But if you are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C will WORSEN your immune response. hat’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system. I don’t treat or cure autoimmune disorders. By using speciic neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inlammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

I’m calling about comments about paver bricks and how stormwater can pass through them. If that’s true, I called the (village of Downers Grove), when I got my bill for the amount of ground your patio and driveway cover that they came up with that new tax on, and they claim water won’t pass through those, or even a gravel driveway. They consider gravel driveway the same as an asphalt driveway. Or, if you have a wooden deck with spaces between the boards for water to go through, they still count that as if water won’t go through it. Somebody doesn’t have all their figures and facts straight, especially at the village.

We as taxpayers are getting hit from every angle: federal, state and county. District 87 needs to live within their present means and allow the tax rate to decrease.

Not a person Mary Beth Versaci’s article entitled “Zoning Board supports controversial gas station” is a textbook example of why we need a Constitutional amendment that ends corporate personhood. In the article, Trustee Ketter acknowledges that the living breathing voting community is against this proposal out of concern over numerous health and environmental issues. But under the current Supreme Court interpretation of corporate personhood, Buchanan Energy could seek protection of the Fifth Amendment. This amendment states that private property cannot be taken for public use without due process of law or just compensation. I, and most likely Buchanan Energy, am under the assumption that the DuPage County Zoning Board doesn’t have the money or legal expertise to challenge Buchanan Energy over this zoning application. Human citizens need to take action and show your support for amending the Constitution to end “corporate personhood.”

DOWNERS GROVE – Midwestern University held a grand-opening event for its $114 million Multispecialty Clinic on July 16. The clinic includes a 130,000-square-foot Dental Institute that occupies about four of the six floors of the building, 3450 Lacey Road. The Multispecialty Clinic also will house a family medicine practice, osteopathic manipulative medicine, a speech clinic, optometry and pharmacy education when the fifth and sixth floors are completed. The Dental Institute will offer services to the public, as well, Assistant Dean of Clinical Education Darryn Weinstein said. “The scope of care [given to patients at the clinic] is similar to a general dentist,” he said. “If it’s something a general dentist would refer to a specialist, it’d be the same thing here. “I think that we will be a great asset to the community,” he said. “We will provide service for many people. And on the other side of it, there are opportunities for jobs and that’s always a bonus, too. It’s one of the few places building in this economy.” Dental services for patients at the inErica Benson – ebenson@shawmedia.com stitute can cost about half as much as at a private practice, according to the school. Midwestern University dental students Chris Herbst and Kelly Grapenthien give a tour of the clinical campus in Downers Grove.

Westmont student spends senior year in Thailand By KRISTIN PEDICINI kpedicini@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – “It’s not one year during your life, it’s a life in one year.” That’s how 17-year-old Westmont resident Hannah Slattery defined her senior year of high school abroad in Thailand. “Now I can see from different points of view and understand what they’re going through,” she said. “It was a slap in the face and a kick in the butt, but it was a huge life lesson.” Slattery and about 16 students from suburbs traveled around the world through a Rotary Club program. She left last August for Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand, and returned two weeks ago. She said she decided to be an exchange student after hearing the stories from current exchange students. “[Rotary wants] young people to go travel the world and learn about the cultures,” she said. “They want us to experience and to learn how to adapt and understand different cultures and different people.” The 12 months abroad have opened her eyes. “The cultures are different but different doesn’t mean scary, bad or stupid,” she said. While in Thailand, Slattery lived with three host families. None spoke English. “I got to learn the language so much better,” she said. “I was pointing at things just trying to learn the basics of everything.” The biggest difference in the two cultures, she said, is the amount of rice they eat. Other than that, she said she

“I want to help (the exchange program) grow because it helped me grow.” Hannah Slattery Westmont resident
was just being a teenager in Thailand. “I was a normal kid in Thailand,” Slattery said. “I wasn’t riding elephants down the street; I was just being normal. You just got to get used to it.” The local temples were “exquisite,” she added. “They’re beautiful,” Slattery said. “They put so much work into the temples, representing how much they love Buddha.” But, she said the majestic, mountainous terrain was the “most amazing” part of the trip. “I loved the mountains,” she said. “I appreciated them so much. Every time I rode my bike, I would just stop and look at a perfect view of the mountains. All around you is so beautiful – just untouched land. It was breathtaking.” Slattery’s younger sister has signed up to become an exchange student, and the family has decided to become a host family for students traveling to America. “I want to help [the exchange program] grow because it helped me grow,” she said. Slattery plans to attend College of DuPage this fall and hopes to major in political science.

Nonprofit DuPage United has announced plans to spearhead an organization called DuPage Connect that will serve manufacturing companies with positions for willing job-seekers. DuPage Connect will bring together manufacturers, nonprofits and other agencies to form an advisory board that will identify, recruit, train and hire employees in the manufacturing sector. DuPage United brings religious and civic institutions together to identify community issues such as government waste and to facilitate services such as English as a Second Language classes. Recently, the organization decided to shift its focus toward jobs, specifically those in advanced manufacturing. Despite large numbers of job seekers across the county, DuPage United discovered area manufacturers are unable to find qualified employees to the extent that they have turned down new business and growth. “Typically, we have a lot of services that are structured to service our population, but sometimes they don’t mesh well or they get so antiquated that they don’t meet the current needs,” DuPage United’s Workforce Development Director Tom Wendorf said. Connecting the unem ployed and underemployed with jobs and services is key to economic growth in the county, Wendorf said. But there are road blocks to making the connection, including public perception and lack of training support or unawareness of existing services. “When I first heard about manufacturing jobs, I did not think my kids or grandkids should take those jobs,” said Tasneem Qadeer, a representative from the Islamic Cen-

ter of Naperville, at a meeting July 16 at Faith Lutheran Church in Glen Ellyn. “It turns out I was not the only one.” Wendorf said manufacturing has a “perception and image” problem. Many see the industry as difficult, dirty and repetitive work, despite recent technological advancements that bring more nuance to the jobs. Those who look past the perception often aren’t aware of available resources or can’t take advantage of them, Wendorf said. workNet DuPage, a state and county organization, offers development opportunities to potential workers, including vouchers for job training. Institutions such as the College of DuPage also offer courses in these fields, but COD Executive Vice President Joe Collins said filling the seats in those classes has been a challenge for decades. The college has done its own outreach, but he thinks more resources could help. “Very often, we hear from people that ‘I can’t afford to take a year off or two years from my job because I have to pay my bills. I can’t go to school,’” he said. “If we had people that would support the students while they were going to school, that would be huge.” DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin also spoke at the July 16 meeting, saying he had met with DuPage United and is ready to support its efforts. “I’m in. I’m on board. You can count on me,” he said, to resounding applause. Wendorf said Cronin had pledged he would work with the County Board to help DuPage Connect become better established. Cronin said the county recently had received a $350,000 grant from the state for job training. Wendorf hopes to see the county become the first sponsor of the organization, which he anticipates will be fully formed by the start of next year, with the help of local funding.
A two-car collision blocked the shoulder lane of eastbound Butterfield Road at the Interstate 355 southbound ramp in Downers Grove the morning of July 17. Police said there were no injuries.

Taste of Bolingbrook to debut at new location By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – The Bolingbrook Area Chamber of Commerce will host the fifth annual Taste of Bolingbrook on Thursday at the Promenade Bolingbrook. Featuring a dozen local food vendors, an array of children’s activities, prize giveaways and raffles and a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young cover band, the taste is free and offers something for resident foodies and attendees of all ages. For the first time in its five-year history, the Chamber will relocate the Taste of Bolingbrook from the village town center to the Promenade Bolingbrook. Chamber President and CEO Michael Carpanzano said the relocation will provide residents and vendors more room and amenities. “We decided to move it to the Promenade Bolingbrook because of the wide range of resources that the Promenade offers,” Carpanzano said. “People and vendors can spread out a little more, all the surrounding streets will be closed, and residents can even do some shopping at the many Promenade stores.” Carpanzano said 12 Bolingbrook food vendors will offer cuisines featuring smaller, “taste” plates beginning at $3, as well as larger, signature entrees.

In addition to the Taste, the Promenade Bolingbrook will host its weekly Market Thursdays – a farmers market with everything from fresh produce and baked goods to plant vendors and handmade items. From 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday, the Taste of Bolingbrook Kids’ Zone will include an inflatable jumping house, Illinois Aviation Ground Bound ride, Bolingbrook Fire Department safety house, a child ID kit booth, a magician, DJ and an area for crafts. Carpanzano emphasized the importance of creating a family environment. “We have made a concerted effort to create something for the entire family,” Carpanzano said. “Whether or not they are food fanatics, there will be free family fun the entire day.

Naperville, Elmhurst residents rescue puppies from Peru By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Two women from the west suburbs expected to return from their post-college graduation trip to Peru with stories of their trek up Machu Picchu, or at the very least, a few more words in their limited Spanish vocabulary. Bringing home four mischievous balls of fur was not on anyone’s souvenir list. “I don’t think anybody has ever gone to Cusco and taken dogs home with them,” Elmhurst resident Laura Hildebrand said. Not long after the two 22-year-old Valparaiso University graduates arrived in Cusco, a starving dog patiently poised outside of a KFC broke their hearts – along with their vacation plans – to attend the Cusco winter solstice festival. “From the first moment we got to Cusco, [dogs] were just everywhere,” Julia Trowbridge of Naperville said. While the two animal lov-

ers saw dogs everywhere they went in the city, one dog in particular, which looked like she may be nursing puppies, was different. “The look on her face was like a ‘help me’ look,” Hildebrand said. The decided to name her Hillary after former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and launched a mission to find her a home. Before they left on their planned three-day Machu Picchu hike, the pair launched an online fundraiser which they hoped might raise a couple hundred dollars to help them transport Hillary to the United States. By the time they returned to Cusco, they had raised around $400, more than they ever expected.
After locating Hillary’s owner, Hildebrand attempted to convince him in her limited Spanish for two days to let Hillary come home with them. Although they didn’t understand how Hillary’s owner was so attached to her, Hildebrand and Trowbridge soon realized Hillary couldn’t be rescued. The American travelers agreed that the next best option would be to rescue the puppies from their mother’s life and were able to buy four of them for about $9 each. They thought with less mouths to feed, Hillary might reach a healthier weight. Trowbridge’s family has been fostering dogs and cats for about a decade, and Hildebrand volunteers at PAWS in Chicago. “Knowing we could help them and we had the resources, we couldn’t just leave them,” Hildebrand said. Thanks to the financial support and encouraging words of friends, family and strangers, one of the puppies they call Sam has found a new

The priorities of next year’s budget are being determined now, according to the release, and information collected from the survey will provide feedback. Questions in the survey address government challenges, service prioritization and service funding methods. The release said once board President Dan Cronin unveils the proposed budget in September, several public hearings will be held throughout the county, at which residents can learn about the plan.

to create high-skilled work visas for Koreans that will benefit our economy and strengthen our trading partnership, all while protecting jobs that can be filled by U.S. workers. You can ask almost anyone from the Chicago area about their family history, and you frequently will hear them start with immigrant stories based on the hope for a better life. Like the Chicago area, America’s economy can benefit from an effective, legal immigration system. Once we discourage future waves of illegal immigration, we can put responsible reforms in place to continue to welcome those who come to the United States to build a better life, strengthening our nation and our economy in the process.

And while it is unlikely that the Senate bill will come to the House floor, we already have found common ground and taken measures to fix our broken system. We have encouraged opportunity in America for foreign workers while creating jobs and growing our economy at home. The House passed a bill that I cosponsored last year that would create a new green card category for immigrants who have received science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) doctorates and master’s degrees from our world-renowned universities. It allows the best and the brightest to stay in America after graduating to advance U.S. innovation, create jobs and help keep us globally competitive. Also, this year, I introduced a bipartisan bill

Restaurant reviews
D.O.C Wine Bar uncorks vintage bistro flavor In search of an outdoor patio to soak up summer on a recent Saturday afternoon, we ventured into D.O.C Wine Bar, attractively set off a pedestrian-only section of Yorktown Center in Lombard. Its bistro fare, expansive international and domestic wine list, and beckoning, umbrella-shaded outdoor seating flush with flowers provided the lure. The wine bar’s name, D.O.C, refers to Italy’s designation of origin for the fruit of the grape. We started our meal with a lusciously creamy tomato soup prepared in-house with chicken stock, oregano and basil. In a perfect pairing, the soup arrived with a slice of baguette toasted to a lovely stage of crisp, and covered in delectable, melted mozzarella. My dining companion particularly enjoyed the soup’s subtle spiciness. Next, we split an order of two chicken salad sliders, featuring a beautifully balanced blend of juicy chicken and grapes with crunchy celery, and served on buttery rolls for wonderful contrasts in texture. The sliders were topped with arugula for a peppery zing. My companion ordered the smoked turkey panini, again served on a delicious bread. The tasty sandwich included avocado, pancetta, fontina, seasoned tomato and field greens. A standout side dish was the sauteed spinach, with a fresh burst of flavor that really popped. The menu extends to crab cakes and pairings of cured meats and cheeses, plus salads, flatbreads and entrees such as cedar plank salmon, short rib tacos and steak. I opted for the chicken saltimbocca, served with a comfort food side of mashed potatoes and al dente asparagus. The chicken medallions are wrapped in prosciutto and served with a touch of melted mozzarella. We overestimated our appetites, and had generous leftovers for the next day. For another visit, we’ll plan to leave

Dessert choices also include wine snow cones in flavors of Moscato, peach, Zinfandel and blueberry. The bistro’s “Wine for Dummies” list includes flights for sampling, and the bar also delivers wine-based cocktails, bottled craft beers and a few
added lessons in single malt Scotch. The restaurant’s website notes the bistro, which carries more than 100 labels, wants to introduce people to the world of wine without intimidating the uninitiated. Half-price incentives include flights Sundays, bottles Mondays and glasses of wine Tuesdays for much of the collection. People dining indoors at D.O.C Wine Bar will find a
chic, contemporary space, showing off accents of wood, stone and granite, with a fittingly dramatic bar as the focal point.

Downers South grad qualifies for Illinois Open after stellar year at Millikin By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com
DGR
DOWNERS GROVE – Teeing off over water is a harrowing situation for some golfers. Now imagine doing it in a competitive setting, and the nerves would be ratcheted even higher. That’s precisely the situation Mike Bubenicek faces as a member of Millikin University’s men’s golf team. Even after years of playing golf competitively, with the Big Blue and at Downers Grove South, he admitted nerves still were a factor for him last season. “I think I’ve gotten more experience from freshman year until now,” said Bubenicek, entering his junior year at Millikin. “I still get a little nervous at the bigger events like conference, but I’m not as nervous and I’m able to go out, get a good score and help the team.” Bubenicek helped his team plenty last season. He earned his second varsity letter as a member of Millikin’s golf team in June after a season in which he helped the Big Blue win the Weist Foundation Classic tournament in April with a 36-hole team-record score of 570. During that same tourney, Bubenicek had a two-round total of 146, including a 67 that tied for the second-lowest round in program history. This summer, Bubenicek has been doing everything he can to ensure his junior season is better than his sophomore campaign. “Whenever I’m not working, I’m golfing,” said Bubenicek, who is working this summer at Willow Crest Golf Club in Oak Brook. “I probably golf seven days a week or do something to help my game almost every

Mike Bubenicek, a Downers Grove South alumnus, looks to carry a successful summer into his second season at Millikin University this fall. day.” As part of his summer, Bubenicek qualified for the 64th Illinois Open Championship, which started Monday and concludes today at the Glen Club in Glenview. He
hoped to make it to today’s final round as a springboard toward Millikin’s upcoming season, which is scheduled to begin Sept. 8. “This fall, we’re going to an invite in Florida as a team,
and I’d really like to do well as a team and show everyone that we’re coming together as a team,” Bubenicek said. “We had an outstanding year last year, and now we hope to keep it going this fall.”

Worth the drive
Local golf courses feature challenging par-5 holes
FAIRWAYS & GREENS Ian Grant Pull the lucky sock off your driver – it’s time to take the par-5 challenge. PGA teaching pro Ian Grant of Hinsdale leads this tour of some of the area’s best long holes.
Flagg Creek Golf Course Hole: No. 5 Distance: 470 Address: 6939 S. Wolf Road, Countryside Info: flaggcreekgolfcourse.org, 708-246-3336 Description: A very reachable par 5, the fifth hole at Flagg Creek requires a good tee shot that favors the left side of the fairway as a tee shot to the right will block out the approach. Water comes into play on the approach shot with a pond on the right side of the fairway in front of the green. The green slopes heavily from back to front making it a premium to keep the approach shot below the hole.
Bolingbrook Golf Club Hole: No. 5 Distance: 600 yards Address: 2001 Rodeo Drive, Bolingbrook Info: bolingbrookgolfclub.com, 630-971-4400 Description: Any time you see a “6” as the first number of the yardage on a par 5, it makes you think. This is a long one with strategically placed bunkers in the fairway and bunker front right of green. Don’t go long with your approach here or you will end up in the collection area behind the green. Play this one as a three shot hole.
Oak Brook Golf Club Hole: No. 3 Distance: 510 yards Address: 2606 York Road, Oak Brook Info: oak-brook.org, 630-3686400 Description: A sharp dogleg left with a premium on reaching

the dogleg corner with your drive, this hole is not easy. There is water left so don’t get too ambitious. The good news is that the approach to the green is open to the right. A good drive will produce a birdie opportunity.

• GOLF Continued from page 36 Info: glendalelakes.com, 630260-0018 Description: Local architect Dick Nugent designed this course, and the 18th is a testing finishing hole. Out of bounds left and water right frame this hole. There is a hidden surprise with a bunker short and left of the green that is not visible from some of the fairway. Many a match will be decided here.
Cantigny Golf Course: Lakeside Hole: No. 2 Distance: 600 yards Address: 27W270 Mack Road, Wheaton Info: cantignygolf.com, 630668-8463 Description: A winding double dogleg par 5, this hole will test the best of players. Water comes into play on the drive and second shot. Stay left on the drive to set up a clear second shot. Trees frame the approach to the green. A par here will bring a sigh of relief.
Seven Bridges Golf Club Hole: No. 12 Distance: 554 yards Address: 1 Mulligan Drive, Woodridge Info: sevenbridges.com, 630964-7777 Description: Part of the course’s “Bermuda Triangle,” the hole is appropriately called “Serpent.” It’s a true risk or reward hole, and a good drive sets up the opportunity for an eagle putt, but there is water in the way so

be careful. Writing a “5” on the scorecard will be a relief.
Village Links of Glen Ellyn Hole: No. 6 Distance: 552 yards Address: 485 Winchell Way, Glen Ellyn Info: villagelinksgolf.com, 630-469-8180 Description: Stay left with the tee shot here and you will open up the hole, but a drive too far left will put you out of bounds. Most players will lay up with the second shot, but favorable wind conditions may give long hitters an opportunity to reach the green in two. Once there, your troubles are not over as the gently sloping green may well force a three putt.
Ruffled Feathers Golf Club Hole: No. 4 Distance: 578 yards Address: 1 Pete Dye Drive, Lemont Info: ruffledfeathersgc.com, 630-257-1000 Description: Water guards the left side of the fairway making for a challenging drive, and the narrow green makes a long approach shot difficult. Lay up with the second shot and leave a wedge or low iron into this green, improving your chances of success.

Golfers walk up to the No. 3 green July 16 at Oak Brook Golf Course.
Course: Ravines Hole: No. 9 Distance: 520 yards Address: 12294 Archer Ave, Lemont Info: coghillgolf.com, 866264-4455 Description: A testing par 5 that is short enough to reach in two, this hole is a good birdie opportunity. The biaggest hurdle is the large pond that fronts the green on the right side. An accurate drive is needed as the fairway doglegs right and there is a bunker on the elbow of the dogleg. A birdie here is a bonus.
