DOWNERS GROVE – Clayton Possidoni and other members of Boy Scout Troop 89 built a cedar composting bin for the garden at St. Mary of Gostyn in Downers Grove on Saturday. The organic composting bin is Possidoni’s Eagle Scout project. The 17-year-old is a senior at North High School. “St. Marys has sponsored his troop for years, so he wanted to give back to them with something they could use,” said Clayton’s mother, Tammy Possidoni. She said the church and school are beginning a composting program for students this upcoming year.

State bill allowing DuPage County stormwater fee awaits governor’s signature By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com Gov. Pat Quinn plans to sign a bill that allows DuPage County to create its own stormwater utility fee. The bill passed both state legislative houses May 16 and was sent to the governor June 14, according to spokesman Dave Blanchette. He said Quinn supports the bill and plans to sign it before the Aug. 16 deadline. DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said the county stormwater fee would
be more equitable than the current method of using property taxes to fund stormwater infrastructure, because a fee would be based on the amount of stormwater displaced by a property. “If you’re a big developer and you put down a large, 50,000-square-feet parking lot of concrete, and you displace a lot of water to your neighbor downstream, you’ll pay more,” Cronin said when the House passed the bill. “If you take steps to install semipermeable pavers and rain barrels at home, your fee will be a lot
less; you’ll get credit for it. It’s the ultimate in responsible behavior policy.” The bill requires a two-year planning period including feasibility studies, public hearings and public outreach and education before the implementation of any fee. During the process, the county board also would have to vote whether to create the fee. If approved, the fee would present a new cost for property-owning nonprofits in DuPage County. Nonprofits are exempt from property taxes but not fees, DuPage County
Board Stormwater Committee Chairman James Zay said. It’s a situation that has frustrated churches and nonprofit organizations in Downers Grove, where village officials approved a municipal stormwater fee earlier this year. Church and nonprofit leaders there say the fee has cut into their ability to provide services and assistance in the community, and have organized petitions and made public comments at village council meetings this spring and summer. That focus soon might
shift to the county. Zay said churches and other nonprofits would not be exempt from any possible stormwater utility from the county, but that officials would discuss opportunities for credits for using permeable pavers, rain barrels, retention ponds and other measures that reduce stormwater run-off. While the village of Downers Grove cut property taxes nearly $2 million this year to account for the separate fee, the county has not said whether it would cut property taxes in a similar fashion.

Are You Starting to See Excessive Dog Hair in Your Home? It’s beginning … the annual shedding of the winter coat of your beloved dog. The winter coat that your pet put on for the winter is beginning to release and allow for the summer coat to come in. This can be a minor inconvenience for some, or a downright blizzard of blowing dog hair for some dog owners – depending on the type of breed and coat. We have an awesome solution for you!!!!! We will give your dog a full spring cleaning treatment using the Furminator De-Shedding system.
This system is specially designed to dramatically reduce the amount of hair you will have in your home. This de-shedding system is a multistep process that uses special de-shedding tools, shampoo, conditioner and drying. This service normally costs anywhere from $20 to $40 extra on top of a regular grooming. But for this ad only, we are offering this service with a regular grooming for FREE. Just to show you the math, a regular grooming runs about $43, and with the de-shedding system, add another $20. This is a total cost of $63 in value. You get it for FREE. What are the catches? Only one… We are offering this to new customers to Belle Aire Grooming. If you have not had the chance to try our services, we would like the
opportunity to win you over with this fantastic offer. If you are new to us, give us a call at
630-969-3145 to book your appointment. We have given away over 65 free groomings in the last three months and people are just loving what we’re doing for them. The first grooming is on us, so give us a call today because we really do book up fast because we only have a couple of spots open a day. Finally, hopefully, we have seen the end of old man winter and we can start enjoying a new spring. I wish you and your pet all the best this new spring time.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – A DuPage County judge upheld the decision of the village of Downers Grove to revoke the business license of King’s Health Spa as a result of prostitution activity on the premises. On March 31, 2011, police
Ask Dr. Webster
Q: Do different teeth perform different functions? A: Yes. Your teeth work together like a team, different groups or individuals performing a certain complementary task. This is why your teeth have different shapes. Consider the act of eating: We are omnivorous creatures, meaning we eat many different types of food, ranging from tough meats to delicate plants. Our teeth, therefore, have to be able to tear meat when necessary and be able to grind meat and other foods. Our eye teeth, for instance, or cuspids, which are in the upper jaw, are cone-shaped and designed for piercing. They are canine teeth, with one point, or cusp. The smooth shape of the eye tooth lends itself to self-cleaning and makes it less vulnerable to decay. Some teeth, called incisors, are chisel-shaped and flat, designed for cutting and shearing food into pieces small enough to grind, swallow and digest. The larger, block shaped teeth in the back of our upper and lower jaw, have several cusps, or points, and are made for grinding. The first and second molars, as you move back from your eye teeth, are also called bicuspids because of their two main cusps. You can see that keeping your teeth in good working order is essential to the ability to eat and maintain nutrition. Talk with your dentist for more information on the roles of your teeth.

Judge Robert G. Gibson upheld the revocation decision this month. He said the evidence showed the employee engaged in a sophisticated prostitution operation and that the village was within its rights to revoke King’s business license based on the illegal activity. “Storefront prostitution operations masquerading as therapeutic massage facilities are illegal, degrading to the neighborhood and are inconsistent with the values of this village,” Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully said in a
Angelo’s Foods
news release. In a similar case involving Ace Health Spa, 1911 Ogden Ave., Circuit Court Judge Terrence Sheen upheld the village’s determination that an employee of that establish-
ment had engaged in an act of prostitution but concluded that the penalty of license revocation was too harsh. The village was ordered by the judge to impose a penalty other than revocation.

DOWNERS GROVE – Businesses in downtown Downers Grove have changed in waves over the last century, but many of the original buildings still stand. That wealth of turn-of-the century buildings will be the focus of the Downers Grove Historical Society’s photo tour and history quiz this August. The Downers Grove Park District Museum is also a sponsor. Participating businesses will have old photos in their front windows of what their block used to look like. Inside the businesses, beginning Aug. 10, will be a post card with four “mystery photos” on the front and a history quiz on the back. Answers to the locations of the mystery photos and the questions will be available online at downersgrovehistory.org. Although old buildings remain, many have disappeared or transformed, creating the challenge of the mystery photo contest. “Those are the fun things we remember,” Downers Grove Historical Society spokeswoman Carol Wandschneider said. “Even on our committee, we argue among ourselves where things were. It’s been fun for us to do all the research on this.” Many of the photos date to the 1950s and were donated to the Historical Society when the Downers Grove Reporter moved from its previous location on Warren Avenue to its office on 31st Street. Many of the photos come from other collections and date back to about 1900, Wandschneider said. The two-story brick building in the picture still stands intact today, about 110 years later. Replaced are the assort-

ment of businesses that filled the block including a meat market, drug store and Mochel Hardware, a downtown fixture until 1995. Pictures through the decades show a downtown that changed from general stores and other shops offering essentials about 1900 to the bounty of clothing stores that populated downtowns mid-century. “There used to be six or seven dress shops, and six or seven beauty shops,” she said. “This was pre-shopping centers, so people went downtown for everything.” This is the first year the photo tour and quiz is sponsored by the Historical Society and the museum after three years of sponsorship by the Downtown Downers Grove Management Corp.

DOWNERS GROVE – Several dress sizes and about 110 pounds ago, Shari Feaster said she would wake up in the morning and her weight would consume her every thought. “You say, ‘I’m going to start this day on the right path,’” she said. “And you have all this energy. And then you slip, and you’re discouraged.” That daily up-and-down mirrored her attempts at dieting. It would have a short impact, but binge eating eventually would derail the process. “I get emotional, and I feed that with food until I physically feel as bad as I do emotionally,” she said. That all changed almost a year ago, when Feaster, 36, a Downers Grove resident relocating to Texas this month, had gastric sleeve surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital. Last week, Feaster and
about 84 other patients who had the surgery or other bariatric surgeries, such as the lap band procedure, met for a reunion with the medical staff at the hospital. For doctors and staff, the annual event reveals the dramatic transformation of their successful patients. For Feaster and others learning to adapt to their new lifestyles, the camaraderie and celebration serves as a support base. “It’s really dramatic,” said Feaster’s bariatric surgeon, Jeffrey Rosen. “If [we have] not seen the person for a couple years, we have to look at their old picture. Sometimes you can’t see who the person is.” The gastric sleeve procedure removes about twothirds of the stomach. The remaining stomach is narrow, resembling a sleeve in appearance. After the surgery, it can only hold a cup of food after the swelling recedes. It makes

The blessing and curse of a career in journalism is many of us end up moving around a lot. I’ve spent most of my career in the Chicago area, but I also enjoyed stints in the Northeast, Northwest and Southeast. I was fortunate to meet many interesting people, heard some fascinating stories (fascinating to me, anyway) and learned a lot about the world. But I also had to deal with a sense of rootlessness, of covering a community but not being a part of it. That changed when I moved to Chicago’s western suburbs. It didn’t take me long to realize there’s something special about this area. In other places, I was just passing through. This is home. But you already knew that this was a great place to live. The communities of DuPage County, western Cook County and northern Will County are some of the most desirable ZIP codes in the U.S. There are countless attractions, restaurants and other businesses that make this region much more than just a bunch of suburbs. With that in mind, we’re giving you a chance to tell us what you love about your hometown. We’re introducing a new contest called The Best: Suburban Life Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s very simple: • Log on to www.my suburbanlife.com/thebest. • Peruse the categories (among the many options are “best brewery,” “best art gallery,” “best downtown shopping,” and much more). • Type in your favorites. Feel free to skip any where you don’t have an opinion. • Enter your email, hit submit, and you’re done! Voting continues through Aug. 22, and we’ll announce the winners in September. So if you’ve got a favorite hairdresser, make sure to vote. Favorite shoe store? Make sure it doesn’t get left out! And everyone needs a good mechanic, so be sure that one shop you always

The learning doesn’t stop during summer Summer is an amazing time during which we all let loose a bit. Freed of the spring rains and floods and the cold winter nights, summer is an opportunity for us to truly rejoice in the world around us. While most of us imagine schools to be closed, dark spaces during the summer, places of construction and cleaning, in reality, many of our schools also are vibrant places of learning. COMMUNITY During this summer, VOICE we have had hundreds of Matthew students participate in Rich classes through the District 58 Summer School program. Learning opportunities ranged from explorations of art, development of study skills, programming computer games and learning Mandarin Chinese. Learning steps out of the traditional curricula and into explorations of our greater world. Additionally, many of our faculty and staff members also choose summer as a time to learn, taking university courses, District 58 professional development classes, and our teacher-designed Playdate 58 teacher exploration of technology and learning. Learning this summer is an opportunity for everyone. Simply because the school year ended doesn’t mean that learning needs to or should stop. Summer is a great opportunity to apply skills developed during the year to areas which interest children. Every child is encouraged to read a multitude of books. Choosing books within their interest area and at their level is a great way for children to enhance their reading skills, develop a lifelong love of literacy and maintain their reading skills during the summer. Students also are encouraged to continue their work in the district IXL math program. Practicing two to three times a week online can help students maintain their mathematical skills, fill in gaps and allow for further exploration. Finally, summer is a fantastic opportunity for children to explore the world around them. Whether it is playing at the park and investigating an ant hill, going fishing or exploring the zoo, summer provides children the great time to apply what they have learned in the classroom to their lives. Enjoy these relaxing days, and encourage your child to use their knowledge and thinking skills.

8LETTERS Water fees a ‘teachable moment’
Sounding off on immigration
To the Editor: RE: The stormwater fees for churches, I wish they would consider this a “teachable moment,” now that the stormwater utility has its congregations’ attention. There are tremendous issues impacting our water today, and this could precipitate discussions and education on these issues. Where better for this discussion than in the churches and synagogues where we acknowledge water as a gift from God and use it often in our liturgies? Also, the various congregations could initiate “parking donations” of some kind, which would go toward either paying the stormwater fees or resurfacing parking lots with a permeable pavement. For those of us who love the Creator, it’s not merely a duty, but a privilege to care for creation.
To the Editor: Is the American electorate as ignorant as all of our elected leaders believe? The answer is yes! What does securing our borders and sovereignty, reforming our immigration laws and determining what to do with the persons that have broken our laws to be in this country (illegal aliens) have to do with one another? Nothing! However, if we believe the BS, which most Americans do, spewing from our leaders they are all one in the same. First: securing our borders is a matter of national security and is the most basic responsibility of our federal government. It has nothing to do with legal immigration laws and everything to do with stopping foreign nationals from entering our country illegally. Second: what is wrong with our current immigration laws? Our government will not enforce them. Period! If our government was as zealous about making

sure we tracked illegal aliens as it was about redistributing wealth, we would not have a single illegal in this country. Third: why do we want to reward foreign nationals that broke our laws to be here with a “Path to Citizenship”? We are told it is because so many have been here so long it would be inhumane to anything less. It is time to wake up, America. We have seen this movie before and it does not end well for those of us pulling the wagon. Reagan was fooled by Mazzoli-Simpson in 1986 resulting in complete amnesty for millions of new Democrat voters. The goal to day is no different than in 1986 – instantly create 15 million new Democrat voters. In both cases, it was the productive American worker that got screwed. You see the cost for these new Democrats is directly passed on in the form of food stamps, welfare, Medicare and too many more taxpayer (53 percent)-funded goodies. Victoria Bentley Downers Grove

I hope somebody can help those young people who are perpetuating the memory of their friend with those plastic cups over 294 stuffed inside the fencing. If everybody did that, it would be a terrible mess over the tollway there. In the Suburban Life, there was an article about the Salt Creek butterfly farm, and they have a bereavement program. If I had the money, I would gather up the people who are doing that and have a little bereavement ceremony with the butterflies. They also need to take down those tattered and discolored and dirty ribbons that are still up and down Wolf Road. I understand the loss of somebody. I’ve lost many people and family pets. I’m sorry for their loss.
Regarding the lady who takes her child in the stroller to the craft fairs in La Grange and claims that it only takes up the space of another person, it does not. The width and the depth of the stroller takes up much more space. And children are not the people who buy things at those fairs. It’s just making things more congested.
Bad place for a speed trap I think it’s extremely disrespectful when I see the police in La Grange Park and Brookfield doing surveillance or using a radar gun while parked in a cemetery or a funeral home parking lot. I look at those places as peaceful and restful, and they should be given some respect. I’m sure people who are visiting a funeral home for arrangements or the cemetery for a loved one could benefit from a place to do that.

Good Sam Hospital plans neonatal care event DOWNERS GROVE – Some weighed less than their mother’s handbag when they were born. Today, they’re happy, healthy babies, toddlers and children whose stay in Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit is but a memory. These little ones and their families will share memories and catch up with their former caregivers at the hospital’s annual NICU reunion Aug. 25. Each year, more than 600 attendees reunite to visit with nurses, physicians and staff. This is the 20th annual event. It will be from 1 to 4 p.m. on the hospital campus in Physician Office Center Parking Lot B. Activities include entertainment, games, prizes, face painting,
music and food. “It’s remarkable to see how these once fragile babies have grown into big toddlers and children,” said Vibha Thaker, a neonatologist on staff at Good Samaritan Hospital. Nurse Teri Hutchens will be named the hospital’s “Babies First” honoree in recognition of the time she has spent working closely with NICU families and raising funds to support them. Hutchens, who works in the birth center, has been with Advocate Health Care since 2007.
County seeks bird reports to combat West Nile Residents now can report dead birds that possibly have been infected by West Nile virus online, according to a news release from the DuPage
County Health Department. Although usually associated with and transmitted by mosquitoes, West Nile also can be carried by birds. According to the health department, reports of recently deceased birds can be an indicator of early or localized activity. The data collected will be used around DuPage County for mosquito abatement and to make appropriate control measures. The release said only birds that have been dead for less than 48 hours should be reported. These can include crows, blue jays, grackles, starlings, robins, cardinals, sparrows, hawks and owls. To report a dead bird, visit dupagehealth.org/dead -bird-sighting. – Suburban Life Media
Keep an eye on plans Underpass needs work I am a Lisle resident who regularly takes the Burlington Northern train from the Lisle train station, and I’m calling to Sound Off about the pedestrian underpass there. It was probably dismantled over a year ago, and there’s no signs of work being done. It’s always dark, dingy and damp, with puddles of dirty water everywhere when you walk through it. It gets on your shoes and your clothes. I’m just wondering, what’s the plan? When will there be some movement on it to improve upon its current state of affairs?
How to Sound Off Want to contribute to Sound Off? Call 331-481-6089 or email mslsoundoff@shawmedia.com Guidelines • When calling, please speak clearly and slowly. Keep messages to a maximum of 60 seconds. • Callers may speak on topics anonymously. • We will not publish attacks of a personal nature or those accusing persons of crimes or illegal conduct that have not been previously published or documented. • We will not print calls commenting on signed Letters to the Editor. • Sound Off comments are the opinions of our readers and, as such, should not be taken as fact.

I hope La Grange village officials do a better job in investigating the new tenants or property owners of the old YMCA space than they did when they wanted a mixed-use facility built back in the 2000s. Had that gone through, there would have been a bunch of one-bedroom, one-bath apartments, probably populated with multiple people from families, and the schools would’ve been dragged down and it would’ve been a blight. It was a blessing that the guy sued the Park District, which kept that from going through.

The DuPage County Board invites residents to share which services and programs they believe should take priority in the 2014 county budget, according to a news release from the board. A new online survey released to coincide with the county’s budget process offers residents the opportunity to tell political representatives what they think is most important. 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. Residents can take the
county survey at surveymonkey. com/s/dupagebudgetfy14.

Allen Mikhail, a Good Samaritan Hospital bariatric surgeon, talks during a patient reunion July 23.
• PATIENTS Continued from page 9 it difficult to over-eat. “I can take a few bites of any protein, and I feel full,” Feaster said. “Even if I was having a bad day and wanted to binge, I cannot.” Patients still have to subscribe to the lifestyle changes necessary to lose the weight. It’s an impetus for change and helpful tool, but not a cure-all, Rosen said. He said some patients return to their old lifestyles after the procedure, thinking the surgery will do the work for them. The stomach slowly stretches over time, allowing the patients to over-eat again. “I would love to be able to say I wish I would have had the surgery years ago,” Feaster said. “But I don’t know if I would have been in the right frame of mind to be able to follow through on the program like you’re supposed to. I know people who have had the surgery, and they
don’t have the mindset for it. They’re in their early 20s, and they’re out there eating fast food again. “It’s not a miracle; you have to do the work.” So far, Feaster has followed through. At 220 pounds, she would like to lose about 60 more, she said. But already, she is able to do things she could not before, and her health has improved dramatically. Before the weight loss, she was developing diabetes, and was beginning to take insulin injections. When the weight fell, so did her high blood sugar, she said, and she now is completely off diabetes medication. Two-thirds as heavy as a year ago, she can jog 5 kilometers in 30 minutes, a distance that used to take her an hour to walk. “Just from the moment I wake up, I don’t have the thoughts of, ‘Oh my goodness, what am I going to do?’” she said. “I wake up happy.”
Good Samaritan Hospital bariatric surgeons Allen Mikhail and Jeffrey Rosen show off their Hula-Hoop skills during the reunion.

Restaurant reviews
Wine and dine with small plates at Salt Creek Wine Bar In a fast-food land of heaping piles of french fries, 32-ounce soda buckets and extra-large pizza slices, it’s nice to find a place where you can eat small and eat slow. At the Salt Creek Wine Bar, you can do just that. On a recent Friday night, I traveled to Brookfield in anticipation of a nice meal at the wine bar, and got just what I was hoping for: several small plates to be enjoyed over a good glass of wine – in my case, sangria. Located just off the Brookfield train station near the corner of Grand Boulevard and Prairie Avenue, the Salt Creek Wine Bar has been a staple of the town’s restaurant community for many years. The atmosphere inside is relaxed and comfortable, filled with plenty of tables, a long bar and a performance area. Work by local visual artists is displayed on the walls, and music plays quietly in the background. My dining companion and I arrived about 6 p.m. and momentarily were surprised to be the only ones in the restaurant. However, other diners slowly trickled in, and the place was filling quickly by the time we left about 8:30 p.m. I suspect the reason for the later rush was a young woman with a guitar who was setting up in a corner as we departed. I wish I had stayed on for the music, because it’s a standard feature of the wine bar, with local acts playing everything from folk to jazz. The live music is a big draw, I’ve been told, and it pairs perfectly with the ambiance, food and drink. Because it’s a wine bar, wine definitely is the focus here. If you’re not a wine fan, there’s still a good beer and cocktail list, but with so many options and a knowledgeable staff, anyone should be able to find a wine they like – or several to try in a flight. The food complements

Bar should be a destination where you go to sit a while, enjoy a good meal and conversation, and not worry about bringing home a doggie bag. You’re there to take it in, eat leisurely and enjoy the overall experience. I absolutely enjoyed my experience and plan to return soon. With a menu of tapas pizza, creative sandwiches and small plates made for sharing, there’s plenty still to try. When I return, I’ll check the musical offering first and bring as many friends as I can get to accompany me. Good food is good, but good food accompanied by good friends, good music and good conversation is something more – it’s a feast.

Downers Grove resident works to earn starting job as Minnesota’s field goal kicker By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com
What sets you apart from the other kickers competing for playing time?
Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com
Andrew Harte (top) of Downers Grove celebrates a game-winning field goal during a Montini playoff game last November.
Record books Andrew Harte has two entries in the IHSA record book, as well as others not noted by the IHSA: 76: PATs in a season, tied for fourth on the IHSA list 10: PATs in a game, tied for 17th on the IHSA list 112: Consecutive PATs made, third all-time nationally on NFHS list
What can make me stand out is I can make the kick every time. If my range is 50 yards and someone else’s is 55 but I make it every time, I feel confident I’ll be the guy they turn to. As long as I make my kicks, I should be fine. My high school long was 54 yards with no wind. Right now, I’m hitting from 50 both ways on the field.
What have you been doing since you arrived on campus? I’ve been lifting and doing conditioning every morning and afternoon, and kicking with all the snappers and holders every day. Camp starts Aug. 2, so I’m getting
What changes have you noticed between high school and college football? At Montini my freshman and sophomore years, I was coached, but by the time I was a junior and senior, and for sure my senior year, I was my own coach because they had trust and confidence in me to do things on my own. Now I’m starting over again, and the coaches, like coach (Jay) Nunez, are as hands-on as they can be and spend time working with me.
Do you think playing at Montini and playing in big-time games will help you? I think it definitely can. You don’t really know what a situation is like until you’re in it. At Montini, we had big crowds and we played in big games. Now you’ve got to do it in front of 50,000 people every week, but I think I can do it. At Montini, I was in some high-pressure situations, and I think that will prepare me for what I have to do at Minnesota.
What’s the biggest adjustment you’ve had to make so far in your college career? It’s early – you have to wake up at 5 in the morning to get your running in, and then you’re lifting in the afternoon. It’ll be interesting to see what it’s like once camp starts. Right now, the coaches can’t be there for any football activities so they’re around when you’re running, conditioning and weight lifting. I’m definitely in the best shape of my life.

MINNEAPOLIS – Andrew Harte doesn’t plan on taking the traditional route of most college freshmen. On campus at the University of Minnesota since June 10, the Downers Grove resident and former Montini football player plans to be on the field when the Gophers kick off their football season Aug. 29 against UNLV. If things go according to plan and Harte avoids sitting out the season with a redshirt, he could be the one doing the kicking in that game. Jordan Wettstein handled Minnesota’s field goal duties last season, but he has graduated. Harte is one of three freshman competing for playing time as a kicker, and he intends to win that battle.
my feet wet now so I’m ready to go.

Big Ten gridiron Local football talent gears up for 2013 season with Illinois, Michigan State, more Doug Diedrick College: Northwestern High school: Montini (Woodridge) Class: Sophomore Position: Superback An all-state linebacker in high school, Diedrick has transitioned to the other side of the ball in college to become a utility offensive player for Northwestern. After sitting out during a redshirt year in 2011, the Woodridge native saw his first collegiate action last fall and played in two games. He caught one pass for 13 yards against South Dakota State and rushed three times for 12 yards on the year. He could see more action this season in NU’s spread offense.
Reilly O’Toole College: Illinois High school: Wheaton Warrenville South Class: Junior Position: Quarterback Sharing the quarterback spot with Nathan Scheelhaase last season, O’Toole played in seven games to Scheelhasse’s 10 but posted better numbers in completion percentage (74.7), touchdowns (six) and efficiency rating (142.7). O’Toole also rushed for a pair of touchdowns and finished second on the team in total offense. Last season, he set the program’s single-game record for completion
percentage when he completed 83.9 percent of his passes (26-of-31) against Charleston Southern. As one of the most experienced QBs on the roster, O’Toole once again could see plenty of playing time.
Tommy Schutt College: Ohio State High school: Glenbard West Class: Sophomore Position: Defensive lineman Schutt, who originally was committed to Penn State University, was an immediate contributor to the Buckeyes as a freshman. Appearing in 10 games, including a start against Central Florida in Week 2, this defensive lineman finished the 2012 season with four tackles. The 6-foot-2, 303-pounder is expected to have an increased role this fall.
Austin Teitsma College: Illinois High school: Glenbard South Class: Junior Position: Defensive lineman In his second season playing for the Illini last year after taking a redshirt in 2009, Teitsma played in all 12 games and recorded 15 tackles, including two solo and two tackles for loss. He twice recorded four tackles in a game (against Charleston Southern and Northwestern) and forced a fumble against Northwestern. He also was an academic All-Big Ten honoree.
