small camp, never more than 15 players, so I could work with players that love basketball and could give them more individualized attention,” he said. “At times, my camp will have a 2:1 player-to-coach ratio.” Horne said he was “ecstatic” when the Board of Education approved him as principal of Monroe. He said his immediate goal for the year is to just build relationships with the staff, parents and students, and said District 181 has been ahead of the curve in regard to education in Illinois. “New children coming eager to learn every year keeps me motivated to work even harder to do what is best for kids,” he said. Not specific to Monroe, but Horne said all schools in Illinois will have to adjust to the new Common Core Standards, and said that may mean making adjustments to how the curriculum is taught. For now, though, he is looking forward to a challenge many knew he was born for. “People who I’ve told said they’re not surprised,” Horne said, of telling friends and family of his new role. “I think they knew I’d be a principal even before I did.”

HINSDALE – A skiing, snowboarding, guitar-thrashing basketball lover isn’t exactly the stereotypical makeup of a grade school principal. Justin Horne, 33, was recently named the new principal at Monroe School after receiving approval from the Board of Education on June 24. He started his career at District 181 in the 2004-05 school year as a fourth-grade teacher at The Lane School, and moved to fifth grade the following year. But his journey didn’t simply start in 2004. As early as third grade, Horne knew he wanted to be a teacher after seeing his own teacher’s style and after she asked her students what they wanted to do when they grew up. “On my first day of teaching, I called Mrs. Toth and thanked her for inspiring me all those years prior,” Horne said. “There was a sense of passing the torch, as it was her final year of teaching. We still keep in touch.” Of course Horne dreamed big. At an early age, Horne loved shooting hoops with his father, and up until eighth grade had dreams of playing in the NBA. When he got to high school, he started coaching younger players and realized his knowledge of the game surpassed his skill. He now is the owner and operator of Just Hoops, a summer basketball camp for middle school-aged children in Hinsdale. “When I moved to this area, I saw a need to host a

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Hinsdale village Manager David Cook was in the middle of cleaning up his office Tuesday as he was getting ready to move on to a new job at the end of the week after more than two decades. “It’s very different,” Cook said as he faced the final four days in office. “When you’ve been some place 23 years, you accumulate a great deal of

stuff.” The 56-year-old – who has spent the past eight years as village manager but has been employed with the village for 23 years – will leave his post Friday after a new contract agreement couldn’t be reached with the village board earlier this summer. Cook has accepted a new job, which starts Aug. 1, as executive director of the Intergovernmental Personnel and Benefits Cooperative. Hinsdale is a member of IPBC, so Cook said he still will be in contact with staff members. “Every day, I’ve just been going through a drawer or two so I don’t have to do it all Friday,” he said. “Every time you open a drawer, there’s a new memory.” Cook said the village board was scheduled to conduct final interviews at a special closed meeting Tuesday to fill the village manager vacancy. He said he did not know when someone would be hired. “Obviously, I’ve been in Hinsdale for 23 years and have built a large number of relationships with the staff, but also the citizens, and that’s what has kept me here for many years,” he said in an interview in June. “It’s a great community and I’ve invested a great deal of myself in this community, and I love this community.”

Local surgeons named ‘Top Doctors in America’ By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – They came from two different backgrounds, but it was their love of sports and medicine that not only brought them to work together, but also to be named two of the top doctors in the country. Chuck Bush-Joseph of Hinsdale and Anthony Romeo of Burr Ridge were selected among the “Top Doctors in America” by Castle Connolly and U.S. News & World Report. The doctors are orthopedic surgeons with Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and team physicians with the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls, but the road was long for both men. His father was a truck driver, but when Bush-Joseph was in high school, he took a liking to science and eventually got a job in an emergency room at a hospital in Detroit. “It was a little bit of a knife and gun club hospital, so it was always a really busy and exciting place to be in an emergency room,” said Bush-Joseph, 56. “At the time ,it kind of confirmed it for me that this is a field of medicine I really enjoyed and wanted to pursue.” As opposed to a bustling urban setting, Romeo grew up in a small town in Idaho before going to play football at Notre Dame and eventually going to medical school at St. Louis University. While in Idaho, he observed many aspects of the medical field by watching his father, a family physician. “My dad did everything from pediatrics to orthopedics to even small surgeries,” said Romeo, 51. “I think I learned from my dad and then of course I wanted to be a doctor, and I love sports obviously, so I combined that.” Romeo is the oldest of six children and five of them are physicians. About 10 years ago, both
Dr. Chuck Bush-Joseph
Dr. Anthony Romeo
men joined the professional sports side of medicine, becoming physicians for the White Sox and Bulls. Bush-Joseph said it has been a lot of fun helping the athletes, seeing the training and going to games. In 2005, he received a World Series ring when the Sox won the championship. He also had the duty of repairing Derrick Rose’s torn ACL with another physician. “We wanted [Rose] to do everything he could to get ready, but he just wasn’t ready,” Bush-Joseph said. “I think if it weren’t for Adrian Peterson, I don’t think anybody would’ve said a word about it, but just with Adrian Peterson, his recovery was so unusual.” Romeo also has faced the strain of helping high-profile athletes recover, as his main specialty is shoulder and elbow surgery and treatment. “When Jake Peavy tore his latissimus tendon, which is a very unusual injury, I was asked to take care of that for him and repair his latissimus and get him back,” Romeo said. Bush-Joseph performs more than 400 surgeries annually, including more than 100 knee ligament surgeries. Romeo said he does about 500 surgeries a year – 85 percent on the shoulder and 15 percent on the elbow. Bush-Joseph and Romeo said they were humbled by the Top Doctor award and gracious for the nomination. What Romeo wanted to stress as well was that patients do not have to live with pain no matter what their age is. “I have a surgery coming up to replace a 93-year-old lady’s shoulder,” Romeo said.

DARIEN – The village of Darien unanimously voted against a ban on assault weapons at its June 15 city council meeting. The decision mirrored actions of neighboring towns, including Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills. Darien Police Chief Ernest Brown said he was indifferent to the decision because as a chief law enforcement officer, he is bound to uphold the laws however they’re enacted. “The only thing I can say is that the city council voted, and I stand by whatever laws are passed or not passed,” Brown said.
Recently, Illinois became the last state to pass some form of a concealed-carry law. One of the provisions of the new law prevented local governments from adopting local regulations on assault weapons except within 10 days of the law’s passing, which was Friday. Brown said the concealed-carry law will “not at all” affect the Darien Police Department. “The point is for those people who seek to legally carry a weapon, they will have the proper identification, the proper documentation, and when we encounter them, if there are no other violations in place, then they will be able to go on their way,” he said.

HINSDALE – When Tony Hawk’s “Pro Skater” video game debuted in 1999, it gave adolescents hope they could perform skateboarding acrobats as easily as the skateboarding legend, but they soon found out it wasn’t as easy as holding the joystick in a certain direction and pressing a combination of buttons. However, the spike in skateboarding popularity skyrocketed, and in 2003 prompted the installation of Veeck Park Skate Park in Hinsdale, a destination that still attracts skaters. “The park was closed for a better part of the spring until really two weeks ago, and people were calling asking when it was going to be open,” said Gina Hassett, Hinsdale director of parks and recreation. Recently, though, Hassett said two pieces of equipment were removed – one of which

was a quarter ramp, and the other a small half pipe. “They just couldn’t be repaired,” Hassett said. “To the best estimate, I wasn’t here when the park was installed, but the equipment they purchased wasn’t the highest quality, and so we tried to look at other places that have had parks the same length of time, and ours had seemed to be in more disrepair than others.” To help foster learning and the popularity that still exists for skateboarding, a class is offered at the Hinsdale Parks and Recreation for skateboarders, which Hassett said is wrapping up this week. “There are certainly kids who are skateboarding and it’s a challenge because unlike soccer or baseball where kids can sign up and join a league it’s not like that mainstream sport,” she said. The class averages about six to 12 kids a lesson.

CLARENDON HILLS – T.J. Arenberg was sitting on a bucket near a muddy bank at Prospect Park Pond on Saturday with his 8-year-old son, Sam. His shirt was damp with a mixture of sweat and water, and his hands were lined with mud as he searched through his tackle box getting ready to try and reel in another catfish. “I enjoy the relaxation, peace of mind, getting away from work, and I’m usually with friends,” said the Clarendon Hills resident, who was participating in the fishing derby for the first time. On Saturday, the Clarendon Hills Park District hosted its annual fishing derby at Prospect Park Pond. More than 100 participants surrounded the bank of the pond stocked with catfish and bass. Prizes were awarded in four age categories for longest fish, but the event mostly was about getting together with family and passing down a love of fishing. Arenberg, a frequent fisherman who just got back from a fishing trip in Canada, was forced to wrestle with a 24inch catfish just a few minutes earlier, which put him in the lead for the 18 and older age category. He said his son fishes at Prospect regularly, and based on what he was seeing, the fish were biting and the turnout was impressive. “They stocked it pretty well, and there are a lot of poles in the water,” he said. “You don’t see this every day.” Jessica Hart, recreational supervisor at the Clarendon Hills Park District, said the district has been holding the event for a long time and it is popular among all residents. “Each year, we get a great turnout, maybe 200 or so each year, especially on a gorgeous morning like this,” Hart said. “It’s been a super-hot week, so it’s nice to have a little bit of a cooler morning for everybody.” Clarendon Hills resident

Ryan Hawk grew up in Montana, so he’s no stranger to fishing. He said what he enjoyed most was seeing his kids get excited when they caught a fish. “Last year, we were here too, and Annabel won it for her age group,” Hawk said. “She was 3 at the time and still has the trophy proudly displayed.” On Saturday, Hawk and his family caught a few fish ranging from 16 to 20 inches. “I don’t know if I would call myself a good fisherman, but I fish a lot,” Hawk said with a laugh. Few hobbies have the power to hold an attention span and generate excitement that’s shared equally across all ages, but then there’s fishing. On one hand, it’s the tranquil relaxation of just the fisherman and the lake, and on the other, it’s the sheer thrill of reeling in a that first fish. “I got a big one.” said 4-year-old Finn Willard, who reeled in a 21.5-inch catfish. Carrie Willard of Clarendon Hills and her family are regulars at the derby, mainly because her kids enjoy it so much. Not only did her son Finn catch the 21-incher, but also, her 6-year-old son Murphy caught a 15.5-inch catfish. “I haven’t fished since the fishing derby when I was 5 years old,” Carrie said. “But they love it.” After two hours of fishing, winners were announced, including Alison Reinhardt in the 7-and-under category, Adam Lubic in the 8-12 category, Cole Grosshans in 13-17 and T.J. Arenberg for 18 and up.
8SOUND OFF 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.
Thank you and a suggestion I’d like to thank the people of Glen Ellyn for the wonderful fireworks display. But I also would like to ask if next year the lights could be turned back on at the end of the fireworks display so that people could get down safer from the bleachers.

No referendum needed The last thing the taxpayers supporting District 87 need is another $100 million increase in the debt service of the school district. My real estate taxes went up 10 percent this past year, where obviously our values have not recovered from 2004. This was all due to the levy, not home value

I am responding to the “Bugged by baby buggies” Sound Off post. We live in La Grange because this is a family community with activities for families. I attended the craft fair this past weekend and, yes, I did bring my stroller to tote my toddler around in. My stroller is necessary to keep my son comfortable and safe. It doesn’t take up any more room than an extra person would or a wheelchair. My suggestion is if you are bothered by the congestion that festivals and fairs bring, stay away from events and areas where small children might be, or just stay home.

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.

Local government shined last week when the Clarendon Hills Village Board addressed the possibility of a local assault weapons ban. With limited time to consider local regulations in conjunction with the new concealed-carry law, the board acted quickly to bring the issue before its residents. The people spoke, and the board listened, voting against an ordinance. Ban or no ban, the Village and its residents successfully worked together to reach a decision. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Hinsdale. Mike Tatarowicz, a Hinsdale resident, was looking for a way to save money on the nightlife scene. He and a partner turned that mission into an online business, Audum Live, which sells coupons to Chicago clubs and bars. Good luck with the business, and, of course, enjoy responsibly.

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
• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Crohn’s Disease • Addison’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Raynauds
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.

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 enormous opportunity that legal immigration delivers. In Washington, I am working 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
VIEWS Peter Roskam 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 have actually read and understood. And while it is unlikely that the Senate bill will come to the House floor, we have already 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 to create a number of highskilled 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 will frequently 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.

Construction to impact downtown SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA CLARENDON HILLS – Two construction projects will affect downtown Clarendon Hills next month, and the village currently is working with downtown businesses to determine how to mitigate the impact on businesses. The village will host a meeting with downtown business owners at 9 a.m. Monday. The first project, which is expected to begin on or near Aug. 12, is the repaving of the Metra Station parking lot. Last year, the village was awarded a grant from West Suburban Mass Transit to cover two-thirds of the cost of repaving the lot, which is in disrepair, according to a news release. The work will involve the complete shutdown of the Metra station parking lot for about two weeks. The village is working with the owner of the vacant property at the corner of Walker and Park avenues for temporary commuter parking during the lot repaving. The alternative parking only will be available to people with Metra Station parking permits per the request of the property owner. The second project, conducted by BNSF, will close Prospect Avenue at the railroad crossing for about 10 days. The village recently was made aware that BNSF has included this railroad crossing to a series of crossing improvements. Work is expected to begin on or near Aug. 23. The work will replace the rubber pad with a concrete pad, similar to what recently was installed at Garfield Avenue in Hinsdale. Each of the three railway lines also will be closed in succession during this process. Per BNSF, there is no way to maintain even one lane of traffic during this process. All vehicular traffic will be rerouted to Cass Avenue and/or Hinsdale during the project.

Village distributes community needs survey CLARENDON HILLS – The village of Clarendon Hills distributed its ninth annual community needs survey last week. The village encourages those residents who receive a survey to complete it and provide feedback on village services and important policy issues. The community needs survey is used to provide a statistically valid evaluation of the services the village provides. This information helps target areas for improvement and areas for commendation,
according to a news release. A random sample of 1,000 households in the village is selected to receive this survey. Again this year, the village is offering an online option to complete the survey; however, a paper copy also will be distributed. Survey results will be confidential unless a respondent chooses to include his or her name and contact information. Results will be reported in aggregate form. The village asks all surveys be completed by Aug. 9. The survey results will be published in late fall on the village’s website at clarendonhills.us and at the Clarendon Hills Public Library.

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

room for in-house prepared desserts, which include dishes such as flourless chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and Zinfandel glaze, and the banana “beignets” with caramel, brown sugar and vanilla ice cream that we heard the neighboring table’s patrons exclaim over.
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.

Big Ten tee time Hinsdale resident Callahan hopes to lead Northwestern to conference golf title By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – It didn’t take much for John Callahan to get hooked on golfing. His father helped him get started young, and the Northwestern University senior has been at it ever since. “I played a little nine-hole course when I was 4 or 5, and ever since then I’ve been golfing,” Callahan said. “It’s in the family.” A well-rounded athlete growing up, Callahan also played baseball and basketball through grade school, but golf became his primary sport the older he got. He started competing in more tournaments, and by the time he moved on to Benet Academy, he was one of the top golfers in the area. A part of the Redwings’ varsity team for four years, he played in the state tournament three times and finished fifth in the state as a sophomore and helped the Redwings to a top-10 finish as a team when he was a junior. Since then, he has continued to improve. “Looking back, I felt pretty good playing in the high school tournaments and qualifying for state, but it’s been steady improvement,” Callahan said. “Every year I get a little better.”
By the numbers 75.47: John Callahan’s scoring average last season 69: Low round of the 2012-13 season for Callahan; he shot 69 twice while winning the threeround Windon Memorial Classic tournament
More inside PGA teaching pro Ian Grant of Hinsdale tours some of the area’s top par-5 holes.
The stats bear that out. He has trimmed nearly three strokes per round off his 78.44 scoring average from his freshman season. Callahan competed for Santa Clara as a college freshman. He played in nine events for the Broncos, including the West Coast Conference championships. When the opportunity to transfer to Northwestern presented itself, however, he jumped at the chance to make the move before his sophomore year. “I did miss the Midwest and I missed Chicago,” Callahan said. “Once I got into (Northwestern), I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.

Hinsdale resident John Callahan is entering his senior season at Northwestern University this fall. It’s been a dream come true.” Under the tutelage of NU head coach Pat Goss and swing coach David Inglis, Callahan’s trend of steady improvement has continued, even if the scores he has recorded this summer aren’t the kind he likes. “I’ve played in a few tournaments this summer,” said Callahan, who participated in the Illinois Open at the Glen Club in Glenview on Monday and Tuesday, but missed the cut for
Wednesday’s final round. “I’m not going to say it’s going as well as I hoped, but I’m steadily improving.” Callahan also played in the Trans-Mississippi Amateur in early July and a U.S. Open local qualifier in May. As the summer winds down, his golf season will heat up as he transitions from playing amateur events to collegiate events with the Wildcats. Northwestern has finished no worse than third at the Big
Ten Championships the past three seasons, but it has not won the title since 2006. Callahan’s plan is to help the Wildcats get back on top and unseat fourtime defending champ Illinois in the process. “We want to win the Big Ten,” Callahan said. “I’m kind of tired of Illinois winning it every year. The goal every year is to win the Big Ten and make it to the NCAA match play tournament because anything can happen.”

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.

Eight bunkers, including six on the right side, surround the green on No. 6 at Village Links of Glen Ellyn.
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.
Glendale Lakes Golf Club Hole: No. 18 Distance: 517 yards Address: 1550 President St., Glendale Heights Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com

• GOLF Continued from page 28 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.
Country Club 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.

Don’t let your dog do this Distracted driving is a growing concern, and a loose pet in the car certainly numbers among the potential hazards that can take your eyes — and mind — off the road and lead to accidents. To stay safe on the road when Fido is with you, remember these tips: n Don’t allow pets in the front seats. Having a pet sit on your lap is obviously distracting, but if he’s in the front passenger seat, the problem can be just as bad. In the front seats, your pet is more likely to be within your line of sight and obstruct your view of the road. An unrestrained dog in the front seats could also be easily injured if you have to slam on the brakes or swerve. n Create separation. There are a variety of pet barriers on the market that can keep your pet from moving between the front and back seats of your car. n Restrain your pet. Pet seatbelts and car seats will help keep a dog safely in place. Keeping a crate in the car is also a good option. Make sure it’s secured and large enough so that he can stand up, turn around and comfortably sit or lay down.

What’s the word? Thunderbird Q: Greg, what is the biggest Ford engine ever put into the Ford Thunderbirds? Also, what was your favorite Thunderbird? I saw your article on the 1958 Lincoln in the Gridley Herald here in California. — Harold S., Gridley, Calif. A: Harold, the first
“big” engine to appear in the Thunderbird came in 1958 thanks to Ford’s involvement in NASCAR racing. Ford teamed up with Holman-Moody of NASCAR fame to produce a 430-inch racing V8 that was guaranteed to put out more than 400 horsepower although it was rated at 350. The showroom floor Thunderbirds put out 350 horses in a “de-tuned” form, and this engine lasted as the biggest ever until 1972, when Ford put the 460-inch V8 in its now “luxury car” more so than “thunder” Thunderbird. Close to the 430 were the 428- and 429-inch engines, utilized in 1966 through 1971. Following the gas embargo of the early 1970s and the following rationing and long gas lines, Thunderbirds went to somewhat smaller V8s and even 6-cylinder engines beginning in 1981. Then in 1983, a Turbo 4-cylinder joined the group as a new design hit the streets with much popularity. Overall, Thunderbird went through a total of 11 model generations, starting in 1955 as a twoseater and then growing
GReG ZyLA
into a four-seater with 1958’s second generation. A major style change occurred in its fifth generation, when the 1967 T-Bird grew into a Lincoln-based luxury vehicle. This occurred mainly because the Mustang, introduced in 1964, took over as the “thunder” from Ford Motor Company thanks to cars like the Boss 302, and soon-to-come Cobra Jet 428s and Boss Hemi 429s. The eighth (1980 to 1982) and ninth (1983 to 1988) generations found Thunderbird downsizing again, but in no way taking the place of the Mustang. The 1983 model was popular on the NASCAR tracks, and won numerous races thanks to Bill Elliott and the boys from Dawsonville, Georgia. Following the 10th generation, (1989 to 1997) Ford took some time off and then re-introduced a new two-seater “real” Thunderbird in (2002 to 2005). These were the last Thunderbirds to this point, but I wouldn’t count out Ford coming back with another Thunderbird in the future. If you would like some great information on the

Holman-Moody race team and how everything happened with Ford’s involvement in big-time auto racing, check out the newly released second edition book “HolmanMoody, The Legendary Race Team” by Tom Cotter and Bill Pearce. This
256-page hardcover book is highly recommended and details a colorful story of two hard-working car guys (John Holman and Ralph Moody) who built one of the largest race teams in history. My favorite Thunderbird is the 1962 Sports

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948. Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948. Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain. In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.” There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
