Colin McAuliffe for Shaw Media

Daniel Mitrius gets his seat adjusted as he prepares to going flying for the first time in 50 years. Mitrius is a World War II veteran who flew in the war. Oak Lawn, there was no spare time, or money, left for lessons. “So I gave up flying,” he said. He never went back to finish earning his license, and in 1970 the family moved to Downers Grove. Looking at the gauges and cockpit of the modern single-engine plane Aug. 11 made him think about his days at the airport in Hinsdale, and what had changed.

He remembered his jittery flight instructor from the ’50s – the last thing a new pilot wants sitting in the next seat over. “When I first started flying, the instructor was always nervous,” he said. “He was always popping pills, I don’t know for what.” Eventually, he built enough flight hours that he could fly by himself. “When that instructor got out of the plane, I was so re-

lieved,” he said. Flying the plane would have required a crash course in 50 years worth of cockpit technology. “Looking at all the gauges on the planes, they didn’t look anything like the one yesterday,” he said. “It brought back a lot of memories of when I was flying. When you’re up there, and you’ve got control of everything, you’re feeling good about it.”

of plane is that?’ All of our planes had propellers.’” This year, his children thought of a perfect 90th birthday present to match his keen interest – a flight aboard a small, single-engine plane over the Chicago skyline and lake Aug. 11. Mitrius had wanted to be a pilot in the years after returning from WWII, and tallied about 20 flight hours at an airfield near Hinsdale. He and his brother, Paul, became intrigued in the small, Cessna-like planes when a friend flew them to a fishing trip in Minnesota. “We said, ‘Hey, this is the way to go!’” he said. But when he and his wife of 63 years, Ann, decided to build a home in the 1950s in

DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove resident Daniel Mitrius remembers sitting in grade school in the 1930s, drawing airplane dogfights, one plane chasing another with a stream of pencil-dot bullets. He was captivated by the newest form of transportation then, a fascination that continued through the war years and during his family life later in the Chicago suburbs. Luckily for a boy with a love for airplanes, Mitrius got to see flight’s progression from one technological advancement to another, often with a front row seat. He even got to ride in the open-cockpit biplanes of the era. When he was a boy in Michigan, barnstorming pilots would come through town on the Fourth of July, offering plane rides to eager kids for $1. Later, as a mechanic at an U.S. Army airforce base in England during World War II, spotlights would brighten the dogfights over head. He and others also saw a jet plane for the first time during the tour of duty. “We captured a German jet,” he said. “They flew right over us. I said, ‘What kind

County fee could give property owners two stormwater charges By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com Downers Grove property owners eventually may have two stormwater utility bills in their mailboxes. Last week, Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill allowing DuPage County to charge property owners a utility fee based on the amount of stormwater displaced by property – a similar system the village of Downers Grove enacted Jan. 1. The bill paves the way for DuPage County officials to discuss and plan a stormwater service fee, a process that

could take a year or more. Switching over to a feebased system – stormwater services currently are funded through property taxes – could alleviate some flooding problems that have plagued the area as well as better fund the DuPage Stormwater Management department, Quinn said in a statement. “Residents should be better protected from the flooding like we experienced this spring, and this other piece of legislation establishes a framework to improve their stormwater management,” he said. But the county plan al-

ready has received mixed reviews. Agencies that are tax-exempt such as churches and schools in Downers Grove likely would have to pay the county fee in addition to the municipal charge, adding to the new cost church and nonprofit leaders say has cut into their ability to provide services and assistance in the community. While the village of Downers Grove cut property taxes nearly $2 million this year to account for its separate fee, DuPage County officials have not indicated that property taxes would decrease as

the result of a new system. The county legislation has been likened to a utility bill of sorts as well and would base fees off of use, similar if not identical to the system the village of Downers Grove has adopted. Likewise, any potential future fee will involve an assessment of water displacement on a property. Taxable features could include the property’s square footage of pavement. To offset some of the costs, credits could be offered through permeable pavers, rain barrels, retention ponds and other measures that reduce stormwater runoff, according to said DuPage County Stormwater Management Planning Committee Chairman Jim Zay. Another entity that could be affected by county storm-

water fees is the DuPage County Forest Preserve, the county’s largest land owner. Representatives from the forest preserve could not be reached before press time. Zay said in his statement that the process of forming the legislation is “not something that the county will take lightly,” but he also views the law change as a necessary one. “In the next few years, funding for our stormwater management program will be exhausted, so we need to work with the community to find a solution for this problem,” Zay said. “It’s the county’s responsibility to mitigate regional flooding, and this legislation provides us with a potential tool to fulfill our obligation to property owners.”

Meat Specials HOW TO FIGHT DRY MOUTH What can I do to counter a dry mouth? The condition known as dry mouth can be caused by a variety of factors. Prescription medication, for instance, could be a factor. Talk with your physician and dentist about the problem. Your physician may be able to change your medication, or at least the dosage. In some cases dry mouth may be caused by salivary glands that aren’t working properly. If that’s the case, your physician or dentist might prescribe medication that helps the glands function better and keep your mouth nicely lubricated. Your physician or dentist might decide that an artificial saliva is right for you. Though it’s not the perfect substitute for saliva, which is physically and chemically complex, artificial saliva will moisten oral tissue and help alleviate the discomfort of dry mouth. It comes as either a liquid you can squirt into the mouth or as an aerosol spray. Other steps you can take are to keep water or sugarless drinks at hand and sip them often. Stay away from caffeine. It can dry out the mouth. Chew sugarless gum or suck on sugarless candy as a way to stimulate saliva flow. Avoid alcohol and tobacco. They also dry out the mouth. Use a humidifier in your bedroom at night. And remember that salty or spicy food may cause discomfort in a dry mouth. As in many cases, it’s a good idea to see your dentist if you are dealing with a dry mouth.

DOWNERS GROVE – As one of her friends said, Downers Grove resident Nancy Belda has a beautiful voice, and when there is a singing role she wants, she gets it. Her most recent performance took a more tenacious effort than usual for her to land, though – singing the National Anthem at the Aug. 12 Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field. For Belda, the opportunity fulfilled a lifelong dream inspired by her dad, and the culmination of more than three years of effort. Belda’s mother grew up on Ashland Avenue, in the proverbial shadow of Wrigley Field. “And my dad was a die-harder before it was popular to be a die-hard Cubs fan,” she said. Her dad can be blamed for passing the burden of Cubs fandom onto his daughter, but

he can be thanked for her musical gifts as well, she said. She described her father, who died at age 49, as having a beautiful Irish tenor voice. “We sang as a family,” she said. “We’d go on Sunday rides in the car and we’d sing. I don’t remember ever not singing.” That led to roles in high school productions, and though she did perform in some professional theater shows, she stuck to a more stable career as a registered nurse. She also has performed with the Grove Players and at the Theatre of Western Springs. She became focused on her long-gestating dream of singing the National Anthem at Wrigley Field more than three years ago after attending a workshop led by the originator of the Chicken Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com Soup for the Soul series, Jack With her daughter-in-law, Allison Belda, of Glen Ellyn; son, Matt; and husband, Ed (right), Nancy Belda of Canfield.

Village to pay $132K settlement to motorist DOWNERS GROVE – The village of Downers Grove will pay a $132,000 settlement to a motorist whose vehicle was struck by a village police car in August 2011. David Rosa was driving eastbound on Ogden Avenue on Aug. 12, 2011, with a passenger, William Keim, when a village patrol car collided with Rosa’s vehicle. Both Rosa and Keim sustained injuries in the crash for which they received medical treatment and lost time from work, according to village council documents. Rosa and Keim both filed lawsuits seeking recovery for damages from the village and the police officer. The payment of $132,000 settles Rosa’s case against the village and the officer, but Keim’s case is still pending, according to village documents.

Spira, missing since 2007, comes up empty SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Stephanie McNeil had hoped that Saturday’s search of Belleau Woods Forest Preserve in Wheaton would provide some clues into the disappearance of her brother, St. Charles resident John Spira, who went missing more than six years ago. The search, led by DuPage County Sheriff’s detectives, came up empty. “It would have been nice to find something,” McNeil said. “I had hope. But I’m glad we were out doing this.” Spira, 45, was last seen Feb. 23, 2007, at Universal Cable Construction near West Chicago. Spira co-owned the company. According to the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office, Spira was last seen by his business partner, Dave Stubben, at the Universal Cable Construction business. Belleau Woods is lo-

McNeil also placed “missing” fliers on cars in a parkJohn ing lot near the Spira woods. T h o s e searching came across a suspicious looking mound of dirt, which was then dug up by DuPage County Forest Preserve staff. However, the mound of dirt turned out to be just that. Anyone with information regarding the disappearance is advised to call the sheriff’s office at 630-407-2333.

ular WGN Radio host Jonathon Brandmeier, she said. “I said, ‘Johnny, I need a hookup,’” she said. It paid off. Brandmeier invited her to sing the National Anthem in the Captain Morgan bar at Wrigley Field before a game. “It was nice, but it wasn’t the field,” she said. Her go-for-it attitude worked out for the best, though. Cubs VP and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Wally Hayward happened to be in the bar, and her rendition was strong enough to earn an invitation from him to sing the song on the field before the start of a game. “If you are intentional, the opportunity presents itself,” she said. “You have to put yourself there.” Her family got four tickets to the game. And the Belda clan bought several more so that her husband, Ed, and all four of their children could attend in addition to her brothers and sisters. “Afterwards, my son sent me a text that said, ‘You crushed it,’” she said.

DOWNERS GROVE – An Indianapolis woman was arrested Aug. 12 after allegedly firing two shots from her handgun at her former boyfriend’s unoccupied vehicle in Downers Grove. Jenniece A. Jones, 20, 532 S. Central Court, Indianapolis, Ind., was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm at 3:25 p.m. Aug. 12 at 63rd St. and Fairview Avenue.

The man told police that Jones, a former girlfriend, had come to his residence in Jenniece A. the 6300 block of Wells Street Jones to collect personal property. He said she wanted to get back together, and when he rebuffed her offer, she went outside and scratched the side of his

Jeep. She later went to her vehicle and pulled a hand gun from her purse.

Originally started in 1920 as a blacksmith shop by Harry Sutter, the Sutter Service Station switched to a gas station and garage in 1927 when the need for a blacksmith in Downers Grove dwindled. The station located at 5236 Main St. operated until 1970 when it went out of business. It is now home to Décor Pro Carpet and Floors.

Sheriff’s department remembers cadaver dog By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com WHEATON – DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Deputy John Bertuca said he recently remembered a lot of cases he worked on with his late partner of nine years: a German Shepherd named Stitch. “It’s pretty amazing the stuff that he could do,” Bertuca said. Stitch, who died Aug. 2, was DuPage County’s only cadaver detecting canine. He was so good at his job, he twice found human remains in bodies of water, one of the most difficult scenarios for a patrol dog Bertuca still remembers his first call with Stitch. In December 2007, Bertuca and Stitch got a call from the Chicago Police Department to search for a body. Bertuca said he remembers walking up to the South Side apartment under which police thought a body might be buried. After Bertuca asked that holes be

drilled in the concrete floor, he instructed everyone to leave. Stitch followed him from hole to hole at first Stitch then picked one, sat and stared as he’d been taught. “The hairs stood up on the back of my neck, and I got chills,” Bertuca said. He lead Stitch around the basement and again the canine went back to the same hole. So Bertuca told the police Stitch had found a body. While jackhammers were brought in, the partners left, and Bertuca began to feel a little nervous. “This is the first time my dog’s doing this, and we’re going to tear of up the floor in some guy’s apartment,” Bertuca said. Sure enough, after tearing up the entire floor of the

Lyman Woods offers a ‘WILD’ curriculum A new professional development program available at Lyman Woods, managed by Downers Grove Park District, is helping early childhood educators learn new ways to introduce young students to the natural world around them. This summer, the Downers Grove Park District’s Manager of Natural Resources and Interpretive Services Shannon Forsythe and Naturalist Marge Trocki were certified as facilitators of the Growing Up WILD Professional Development Workshop. As facilitators, they can instruct local early childhood educators on how to use the new curriculum known as Growing Up WILD, a set of activities, projects and games children can play that also teaches children how to better understand and appreciate the natural world. “The premise is that there is a ‘disconnect’ between kids and nature,” Forsythe said. “Kids do not have the same relationship with the natural world that we previously have had.” The curriculum of Growing Up WILD, intended for children ages 3 to 7, is found in Growing Up WILD: Exploring Nature with Young Children, an activity guidebook which is given to educators who attend the workshop. At the workshop, which is about three hours in length, teachers are instructed on how to navigate and use the guide. The guide contains games, musical activities, art projects and snacks that teachers can

n THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL

COMMUNITY VOICE Brandi Beckley use to get students engaged with the natural world. The guide includes helpful biology facts for teachers, giving them the background information and context they need to help students with the activities. Because Growing Up WILD is all about familiarizing children with the natural world, it preferably is taught in an outdoor, natural setting. However, the program can accommodate circumstances in which this is not an option. “Ideally, we’d like kids to get out into a natural setting but that’s not always possible in a school yard,” Forsythe said. “... So a lot of these activities are looking for the little things in nature, [like] finding rolly-pollies or any sort of leaf. You have to use what is around you.” Information Growing Up WILD curriculum is at projectwild.org/GrowingUpWILD. For questions or to schedule a workshop, call the Interpretive Center at 630963-9388. Information about natural areas programming is available on the Downers Grove Park District website at dgparks.org.

VANDALISM TIPSTER AWARD PROGRAM In an effort to reduce and eliminate senseless damage caused by vandalism, the Downers Grove Park District and Downers Grove Police Department announce the Vandalism Tipster Award Program. Should reported information lead to the arrest and conviction of a vandalism perpetrator or conspirator, the tipster may be eligible for a monetary reward of up to $5,000 for cases in which the vandalism of Park District property is in excess of $2,500. The public is encouraged to report any information regarding vandalism of park district or public property to the following numbers: • Downers Grove Park District, (630) 963-1304 Geoff Penman, Director of Operations and Development • Downers Grove Police Department Detective Jeremy Thayer, (630) 434-5653. The Downers Grove Park District is currently offering a reward of $2,000 for a series of vandalism, theft and damage to public property; most notably the fire that recently damaged the new restroom facility at McCollum Park. All communication between the vandalism tipster and Downers Grove Park District and/or Police Department is strictly confidential.

DOWNERS GROVE RECOGNIZED AS TRAFFIC SAFETY LEADER The Police Department received recognition in the 2012 Illinois Traffic Challenge, as the top agency in the state for their overall approach to traffic safety. The department also received the 2012 Pedestrian and Bike Safety award for their efforts in bicycle and pedestrian education. Traffic safety is one of the highest priorities for the Downers Grove Police Department. Police personnel work year-round to educate citizens, beginning with preschool students, on the importance of being safe in a vehicle, on a bike, and as a pedestrian. The following statistics support the department's traffic safety efforts: Seat belt use is up! The seat belt compliance rate increased 5.3%. Currently 98.8% of people traveling on the road in Downers Grove are choosing to buckle up. This is better than the overall Illinois compliance rate of 93.6%.

DuPage named among Illinois’ healthiest counties By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com

DuPage County has been named one of the healthiest counties in Illinois in a national study. The Robert Johnson Foundation ranked DuPage sixth overall in health and first in health factors, which include components contributing to the future health of the county, such as smoking rate, obesity, access to healthcare and education. Angela Russell, who is an associate researcher for the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and worked on the project, said that DuPage County is not only one of the healthiest counties in the state, but in the country. “DuPage County is doing pretty well for Illinois, and really well in a lot of different areas,” she said, pointing to the county rates of premature death, people dying in motor vehicle crashes, teen pregnancy, uninsured residents and high school graduation rates. Overall, she said, county rates meet or exceed the state average in a large number of categories. “This study highlights that

there are some areas that DuPage is doing really well in, and in some measures, among the best in the nation,” she said. “But there are some real opportunities for improvement.” DuPage, like many counties around the country, is struggling with obesity, Russell said. One in four adults are obese in the U.S., and DuPage is slightly above that rate at 27 percent. 20 percent of both county and state residents drink excessively, compared to 7 percent nationwide. DuPage County’s morbidity rate is 25th in the state, lower than many of its other rankings. DuPage also placed poorly in the physical environment category, which includes drinking water safety, number of fast food restaurants, access to recreation and daily fine particulate matter. The county ranked 64th out of 102 in the state. James Gerwig, external affairs manager at the DuPage County Health Department, said he wasn’t surprised by the predominantly high rankings. In a statement, he said the department has pushed for better health in recent years.

Do you ever go to the grocery store and discover there’s more cereal in the box than there used to be? Not likely. Seems like there’s always less, and for the same price. And it’s the same with laundry detergent, coffee and untold other products. When manufacturers want to boost the bottom line, they seem to find that it’s easy to give you a little less than you expect and hope you won’t notice. There’ve been some changes recently in your Downers Grove Reporter newspaper, too, that you might not have noticed. But at Suburban Life Media, we like to do things a little bit differently – we’re giving you more: • The Argyle Sweater, written by Scott Hilburn, is a comic that looks at the world from a little bit of a different bent. Here’s how Hilburn describes himself: “Living next door to a nuclear weapons testing facility as a child, I was exposed to high levels of intense radiation. The prolonged exposure to this radiation resulted in the development of special powers such as extraordinary drawing and writing capabilities.” So if you like your humor on the surreal side, make sure to look for it in the Classified section every week. • Will you need a jacket Saturday? I suppose no one really knows for sure. But the good folks at the National Weather Service are doing their best to try to map the course of the clouds, so we’ve added a weekend forecast on page 3 starting today. Whether you’re considering

Officials consider moving county fair

Reporter | Progress • mysuburbanlife.com • Wednesday, August 21, 2013 • SD

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com Although this year’s DuPage County Fair saw increased attendance and will likely be profitable for the second year in a row, county officials are considering changing the location of the fairgrounds. “Their lease goes through 2020, so we’re going to have some discussions about what’s the best use of that property in the future,” County Board member Grant Eckhoff said. “It’s a small area now for a county fair and it is sort of shoehorned in there.” Eckhoff is a member of the County Fair and Exposition

underground basement, under concrete and six more feet of dirt, clay and rocks, police found Eric Kaminski’s fully clothed skeleton, almost four years after the Oak Lawn resident went missing. He and Stitch went on to search more scenes from DuPage County to Dixon, some of which Bertuca still isn’t allowed to talk about. The pair cleared scenes after Drew Peterson’s arrest. Bertuca said showing up to a call with every white-shirt boss just waiting for an answer never felt easy, but he trusted Stitch’s skills. He knew if there was a body, Stitch would find it, and if there wasn’t, the canine wouldn’t waste anyone’s time or energy with a false alert. Stitch lived to work. Shortly before he died, a vet discovered several bulging discs in his spine and a tendon issue in one of his rear legs despite Stitch’s lack of visible pain. “He still wanted to go to work,” Bertuca said. Stitch, named by Bertuca’s kids after the Disney character, grew up in Bertuca’s home since he was a 10-week-old puppy imported from Germany and donated to the sheriff’s department by a local breeder. Unlike other agencies that buy dogs between 1.5 or 2-years-old,

Authority, which approves and manages money from the Fair and Exposition Fund. He said a task force will be created to examine the best use of the land where the fair currently is held. “If you knew you were going to have a fair there for 50 more years, you’d do a lot of upgrades on the buildings and infrastructure and things like that,” he said. “But there are eight years to go, and if it’s not going to be there, we won’t spend money on all that.” DuPage County Fair Manager Ellen Sietmann said attendance for this year’s event

DuPage County raises their working dogs from puppies. Patrol dogs routinely are taught to detect narcotics by a process of imprinting scents. It’s taught as a game to the dogs, and once they learn how to detect one scent, others are easier to imprint. The one exception: human remains. Many dogs shy away from cadaver detection. With the loss of Stitch, Bertuca hopes to train what he expects to be his last canine partner before he retires. Fivemonth-old Kato, named after Bertuca’s first working dog, is a female German Shorthaired Pointer hired as Stitch’s replacement. Bertuca, who’s been training dogs for nearly two decades, says a lot of handlers are men and prefer male dogs out of pure macho mentality. “They’ll work just as hard or be just as lazy as the other gender,” Bertuca said. The dog-training deputy said he hopes Kato is ready for police work by her first birthday, but he’s willing to give her all the training she needs. Bertuca said his job is about protecting people, and patrol dogs like Stitch – and one day Kato – serve those people, too. DuPage County Sheriff’s deputies routinely patrol solo, but a few get to have a partner by their side every day. “We’re lucky because we have a dog in the car,” Bertuca said.

Parking problems Regarding the parking problems in downtown La Grange it seems to have been forgotten that a lot of people park there to go to the movies. And that ties up the spaces for at least two hours. Maybe the theater owners should be responsible for the lion’s share of whatever cost is involved for improving or increasing the parking situation.

Noisy neighborhood dogs As a pet owner, I am appalled at my neighbors who allow their dogs to continually disturb the peace by their incessant barking. I am not talking about the dog that barks at an occasional animal or passerby, but the dogs who are let out in their yards most of the day and constantly bark as early as 6 in the morning and continue until late in the evening. … Yelling at your dog to ‘stop barking’ actually reinforces that behavior. Do some research and find ways to eliminate this behavior. Ultimately, if you cannot control your animals barking, keep them in the house where you will be the only one who has to listen to them and allow your neighbors some peace and quiet.

Their own children had long ago grown and left the area. I am saddened and concerned that through the high taxes of Wheaton such upstanding people who have loved their home and town should have paid taxes for so many years, funding the over-inflated education of so many other people’s children, for example, and be forced to leave. How many people does this happen to? I have other neighbors who are considering leaving as well, and for similar reasons. This is a great place to live, but perhaps Wheaton would consider being more frugal with our money and lowering taxes – and consider the needs of the taxpayers some more.

Why do we need overnight street parking in Brookfield when most every house has a garage or driveway? If the village charged a reasonable fee to park on the street overnight, say $10 or $20 per month, most people would probably put their cars away at night, while allowing an equitable option for those who don’t have a garage. This would also reduce crime because fewer cars would be on the street for thieves to break into. I’m sure the village wouldn’t be angry with the extra revenue, and with less cluttered streets, property values might actually increase.

In Downers Grove … we are assessed on gravel driveways the same as asphalt. A gravel driveway does absorb the water. … Also a wooden deck with spaces – the spaces allow the water to go through. … Many of us have actually been to the village, have met with the village individuals, and pretty much I’ve been told “it is what it is.” But if they’re saying the water needs to drain into the ground, gravel driveways, decks, the water does absorb back into the ground. … When I was there … I was told, it’s just a shift coming off of our tax bill to our water bill. We all need to be aware it is not a shift because if it’s on our taxes, we can use it as a deduction on our annual income tax. If it is on our water bill, there is no tax write off or tax benefit.

Despite spike in heroin deaths, resources for addicts are limited

DuPage County saw 15 heroin and drug-related deaths in the first two-and-ahalf weeks of July. Among the dead is John Dudek, a 15-year-old from Bartlett who overdosed on heroin July 10. DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin has called the rise in heroin use, particularly in young adults, a “public health crisis.” But for those already suffering from addiction to heroin or other substances, there are limited resources available at the county level. Eileen Sullivan, coordinator of the Young Adult Recovery Program at Cadence Health, said that the “epidemic is bigger than what we’re ready for.” “There needs to be more invested in treatment, absolutely,” she said. “We can’t meet the needs right now with what we have. There are too many young people affected and too many tragedies, and it’s just gotten to a point where we need more resources and we need a team approach.” Cadence Health, which is based out of Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, offers a 24-hour addiction phone line, as well as detox, residential and outpatient treatment and therapy. Cadence also started Sullivan’s Program to cater to the needs of the youth that comprise the majority of heroin addicts in Chicago’s collar counties. Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, the medical director of inpatient chemical dependency services at Central DuPage Hospital, said those dying of overdoses are not dying because of lack of immediate care. Rather, more resources focused on sustained, day-today recovery are needed. “The ongoing maintenance, the medications and the ongoing counseling to prevent relapse – that’s where you need more re-

Addiction resources available in DuPage Cadence Health - Winfield, cadencehealth.org Serenity House - Addison, serenityhouse.com Rosecrance - Naperville, rosecrance.org Breaking Free - Aurora, breakingfreeinc.org Linden Oaks at Edward Hospital Naperville, edward.org sources,” he said. DuPage County Health Department Communications Manager David Hass said the county has no specific program for heroin addiction treatment, but that the department’s RxBOX program has collected 14 tons of unused prescription medication since 2009. The Health Department views its role in the fight against addiction as one of prevention, Hass said, not of treatment. “We work with hospitals, schools, law enforcement and other community organizations to educate,” he said. “We think that is the best use of our resources, working as a coordinated effort so we know what they’re doing and they know what we’re doing and we’re united towards prevention.” In response to interview requests, County Board Chairman Dan Cronin released a statement that said he is “very concerned about the epidemic use of heroin especially by our teens.” Cronin also said he has met with Berlin twice to promote awareness and prevention. DuPage County’s Psychological Services Department offers limited resources for those in need of addiction treatment. Thomas Sayers, administrator for the Community Services Department, said that those resources are

largely devoted to people referred by the criminal justice system. “It is an epidemic, and most of the time people with heroin addiction need a higher degree of care than we can provide,” he said. Sayers’ department does offer the Human Services Grant, which helps organizations that “serve the human services needs of DuPage County residents,” according to the county’s website, including addiction treatment. Lisa Snipes, the development director of Serenity House, a substance abuse treatment center in Addison, said her organization was one of the “very grateful recipient(s) of county funding” through the grant. “I believe there’s always more that can be done,” she said. “In a perfect world, there would be treatment available immediately for people who need it, but we do the best with what we can with the resources we have available to us.”

“The Health Department has undertaken several county-wide initiatives over the past five years that are having a positive impact on the health of DuPage County,” he said. “Programs such as FORWARD, Start The Heart and the county’s RxBox initiative are all programs that are factors in DuPage County receiving such a high ranking.” Russell said that counties such as DuPage should avoid complacency when it comes to health. “Our overall vision and goal is to create a healthier nation, county by county,” she said. “Where you live matters and we need to find opportunities for improvement.”

DuPage County Forest Preserve board votes to cut own salaries By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com Future commissioners and presidents of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County may take a pay cut after the 2014 election cycle if a proposed ordinance is passed. The forest preserve’s Board of Commissioners voted, 5-1, in favor of pursuing an ordinance that would reduce board members’ salaries from $53,500 to $50,000 during an Aug. 12 board meeting, according to Forest Preserve Spokesperson Susan Olafson. The number is based on the amount that

DuPage County Board members are paid, after the County Board elected to freeze salaries through November 2016, according to a County Board spokesperson. Only outgoing forest preserve board President D. Dewey Pierotti Jr. abstained from the vote. Commissioner Mary Lou Wehrli voted against the ordinance. Olafson said that Wehrli opposed the idea on principle and said that their salaries should be even lower, as the job has become more part time and less involved over the years. The position of forest preserve board president would

receive a drastic reduction, from $112,258 to $75,000, Olafson said. County Board Chairman Dan Cronin currently is paid $121,540. If the ordinance passes, the new pay scale will go into effect with the election of the forest preserve’s next president, as Pierotti does not plan to run again in 2014. Olafson said a formal recommendation will be made to the Board of Commissioners at the end of the month, when it will be brought to a vote. Commissioners of the Forest Preserve District did not respond to requests for comment.

Trojans, Mustangs face loaded schedules By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com The 2013 boys golf season is underway and as teams across the area tee it up, the ultimate destination is the Bloomington-Normal area Oct. 18 to 19 for the state championship tournaments.

What to watch: The Lions are looking to replace just one golfer from last season (the graduated David Hannan), and even though most of the team returns, the goals are modest. “The goal is to have every player improve from last year,” head coach Yousef Matariyeh said. “Have fun, learn the fundamentals, and appreciate the value [golf] can provide.” George Swedie will be the team’s captain, and Matariyeh said he has natural leadership qualities. In the past, not every Interstate Eight team would play every other team in the conference during the regular season, but that will change this year so that there will now be a regular season and conference tournament champion crowned.

With the group returning, the goals are clear. “I’d like to see us finish in the top half of the conference,” head coach Frank Cyrus said. Alexander advanced out of the regional last fall but came up short on the sectional. Cyrus said Alexander has put in the necessary work to take the next step. “He’s a great kid and he’s worked really hard on his game,” the coach said. “I’d like the team to do as well as it can throughout the season, and I hope Devin can qualify for state this year.”

8GIRLS GOLF PREVIEW

Mustangs move on minus seniors By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com Girls golfers from across the area are on the course for the 2013 season. The season has just started, but the goal for individuals and teams throughout the state is to make the trek to the Decatur area Oct. 18 to 19 for the Class A and AA state championship tournaments.

Downers Grove South Mustangs Conference: West Suburban Gold Home course: Downers Grove Park District, 2420 Haddow Ave., Downers Grove 2012 results: 9th in regional Coach: Jeff Bryant Top golfers: Danielle Heffernan sr. Sarah Hodges jr. Carrie Packard jr. Maddie Pojasek jr. Bridget Ruder sr. What to watch:

Tiffany Boak and Sara Uhlir, sectional tournament qualifiers last season, have graduated with Bridget Ruder and Danielle Heffernan emerging as senior leaders so far. Head coach Jeff Bryant identified juniors Sarah Hodges, Carrie Packard and Maddie Pojasek as ready to compete at the varsity level and he also said several juniors and sophomores are on the verge of being varsity contributors. However, Bryant emphasized that improvement will be a buzzword for his squad. “We lost a few key seniors and will need to dig deep to fill their shoes,” the coach said. “The competition within the team will be fierce for playing spots and it will be important that we improve as the season progresses. I think we have a lot of potential, but that will have to be proven out on the course. Our team goal is to work hard and surprise a few teams along

the way.

Downers Grove North Trojans Conference: West Suburban Silver Home course: Downers Grove Park District, 2420 Haddow Ave., Downers Grove 2012 results: 8th in regional Coach: Jackie McCormick What to watch: A quartet of senior golfers have graduated, but in their place a new foursome – Mary Doro, Grace Fleming, Abbey Radigan and Jamie Sebo – could takes the leadership reins. The Trojans should be battle tested by the time the postseason rolls around after regular season dual meets against Lyons Township, Naperville Central, Benet and Hinsdale Central.

Westmont Sentinels Conference: Interstate Eight

Home course: Twin Lakes, 400 W. 59th St., Westmont 2012 results: 4th in regional Coach: Marc DeLisle Top golfers: Sarah Bayne so. Katie Charlton sr. Devin Kapusta so. Audrey Proctor sr. Kara Sedivy so. What to watch: Three senior leaders – Megan Bennett, Angelica Rendek and Megan Seratt – have moved on and left a bit of a void in the process. Katie Charlton and Audrey Proctor now are the senior leaders, but beyond that duo, the Sentinels have an eye toward the future. “We are going to be a young team with a lot of potential in the next few years,” coach Marc DeLisle said. “So our main goal this year is to improve our scores to become more competitive with other area schools.”

If improvement takes place during the course of the season, which began with Monday’s dual meet against Plano, DeLisle believes contending for a conference title and sending golfers to the sectional tournament could be possibilities.

Benet Redwings Conference: East Suburban Catholic Home course: River Bend Golf Club, 5900 S. Route 53, Lisle 2012 results: 4th at regional Coach: Tony LaScala What to watch: The Redwings were on the verge of moving on from the regional tournament to the sectional last fall but came up just short. They will get a good look at their likely postseason competition as they play Lemont, Downers Grove North, Naperville Central and Wheaton Warrenville South in the first three weeks of the season.

Swim fundraiser to benefit former North coach Redig By JASON ROSSI

How to donate

jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Tom Redig always preached a teamfirst mentality to his Downers Grove North boys swimmers. But one of Burke Sims’ fondest memories of his high school coach came after an individual honor. “The year I won the state championship [in the 500-yard freestyle] after taking second, he knew how hard it was for me,” said Sims, who earned a degree from Stanford and is working and preparing for graduate school in New York. “Just the look of joy on his face as he ran over and shook my hand, and then he gave me a huge hug when he gave me my medal.” Starting his DGN coaching career in 1986, Redig had a profound effect on Sims and hundreds of North swim-

Redig and his wife, Patty, formerly a coach

with Express Swim Club, had moved to Arizona to alleviate some of the complications of Redig’s health situation but recently moved back because their daughter, Kayla, is battling breast cancer.

To show support for the Redig family, the DGN swim and dive teams are hosting an alumni fundraising event at 5 p.m. Aug. 30. Donations will be accepted at the event to offset the medical costs incurred by Tom and Kayla. A dual meet featuring members of the current squad is planned, as is the dedication of a Wall of Fame honoring the Trojans’ 30 National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association All-Americans. Academic All-Americans also will be honored. A former chemistry teacher at North, Redig helped build

North’s swimming program to one of the best in the state. “Pretty much every DGN swim kid in the last 20 years has been coached by one or both of them,” Janice Sims said of of Tom and Patty Redig. Janice Sims is the mother of Burke Sims and current North swimmers Maddie and Gabby Sims and lead organizer for the event. Redig’s coaching career at North was capped by Sims’ state title, but his legacy as a coach goes beyond times and state titles. “The fastest person on the team was just as important to him as JV guys in the outside lanes working their way up,” Burke Sims said. “I have nothing but great things to say about Tom. One of the closest relationships I’ve had in my life was with him. I’m proud to have had the opportunity to swim for him.”

8Q&A WITH JOEL QUENNEVILLE

Coach basks in glow of second championship By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Joel Quenneville had an extensive hockey playing career that spanned 14 NHL seasons, plus time in other professional leagues. But in Chicago, he is known more for what he does behind the bench than on the ice. When the Hinsdale resident coached the Blackhawks to the 2010 Stanley Cup, he helped end a 49-year championship drought, which was the longest in hockey at the time. In June, Quenneville guided the Blackhawks to another title, and they will look to repeat again next season when training camp opens Sept. 12. SUBURBAN LIFE: Has there been any down time for you this summer? JOEL QUENNEVILLE: It’s been a very short summer. We went back to Connecticut for a couple weeks, and it felt nice to get away. SL: What was it like to bring the Cup to the Hinsdale Fourth of July parade? JQ: That wasn’t my day with the Cup, but I was fortunate that the Cup was in town that day and I was able to bring it to the parade. It was a great parade. There was a nice turnout and there was a lot of enthusiasm from everyone.

About Joel Quenneville Age: 54 Residence: Hinsdale Years coaching: 16 Teams coached: St. Louis, Colorado, Chicago Coaching record (wins and losses only): 660-389 Record with Chicago (wins and losses only): 222-106 SL: What was it about the 2012-13 team that allowed it to start and finish the season so well? JQ: It was a condensed year and we had no idea how things were going to start. I think the guys had a great mindset all year. We had a couple of goals that we set forth. We wanted to be tough to play against, we wanted to keep the puck out of our zone and we wanted to see our special teams improve. The guys’ approach was great. We got off to an amazing start, and you have to commend the guys’ approach the whole season. SL: What moment most defines last season for you? JQ: I think that this year was one of those years that was just so unbelievable. We played at a high rate but we didn’t have to face much adversity. Being down 3-1 to Detroit [in the playoffs], and I thought we were

We worked our way through it and got back to our winning ways. SL: Are you going to miss playing Detroit six times a year now that they are in the other conference? JQ: That rivalry has been tremendous. We’ve had some great games with them, two of them being Game 7 [of the play-

offs] and the regular-season game in Detroit [2-1 shootout win]. There’s passion in the rivalry between the cities and the fan bases. It’s electrifying. Hopefully we get to play them in not too long in the playoffs [in the Stanley Cup Finals]. SL: How is the short offseason going to impact your chance to repeat as champions? JQ: Our league is so competitive. Anybody can beat anybody else at any time. Look at Boston. They were down three goals in Game 7 [against To-

ronto] and came back to win. Things are so close. Now the division rivalry is part of the playoffs. We’re going to continue to be the target, but I like the group we have here. Guys want to be here, and they want to win. That’s their competitive juices. They always have something to prove. SL: How did the 2010 title and 2013 title compare? JQ: They were different, but they were both nice. They were two different teams. The core was in place, but at the same time we had so many guys on the team who were new to winning the Cup, so it was to have them experience that. The depth of the team might have been higher in 2010, but this group had more contributions across the board and more balance. SL: How will the Olympic break factor into this season? JQ: We’ll probably look at it a lot like last season when rest was so important and practice time was down a little bit. We had to rest guys and manage minutes to make sure they were ready to play down the stretch. For guys that compete in the Olympics, I think that’s going to be the reality again. We’ll see how it plays out, but after the Olympics we might have to manage minutes even more for the guys that play.

ack-to-school time can be bittersweet: You start to miss the freedom of summer but are looking forward to seeing your friends, teachers and classroom again. Here are the top three reasons to look forward to school again:

A is for adventures

COLOR IT IN IF YOU WISH! Send us your drawings — we love to see them! www.DrawingwithMark.com 230 Central Street Newton, MA 02465 Watch Drawing with Mark! Check your local listings at www.DrawingwithMark.com.

School is about more than just learning and getting along with your teachers and fellow students — it’s about adventures. You’re learning about things nearby and far away. You’re working on new skills, reading about foreign lands and discovering exciting new things every day. Think of how many adventures you can go on without leaving your desk!

B is for buddies The best part of school? Making

new friends and seeing your old friends again. Not much is better than the excitement of the ﬁrst day of school and meeting new people who could become your best friends one day. It’s also about rediscovering old friends, and learning about those you could know better. What can you do to learn more about someone in your class today?

C is for cranium

reasons you’re excited for back to school: one that begins with the letter A, one that begins with the letter B, and one that begins with the letter C. Try to think of new words instead of using the examples above. A is for _________________ B is for _________________ C is for _________________

Time to use your brain again! Over summer, you used your brain in a different way: by running and jumping, playing games and being creative. But your cranium needs a diferent kind of workout that you get from school: memorization, structured learning, stretching it to learn more diicult tasks. Get ready to get smart. What have you learned already today? Now it’s your turn. In the space in the next column, write your own ABCs of back to school. Think of three

Then draw a picture that illustrates your letters and the words you chose for each.

Super summer supper derful for breakfast or brunch but dressed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream it makes a great dessert. This recipe doesn’t require a stand mixer, so you can do everything by hand.

Satisfying salad kicked up with meat ‘n’ potatoes By Christopher Spencer More Content Now

While there are many components, this Super Summer Supper Salad could not be easier. This is a great base recipe to add to or subtract from (if you subtract don’t tell me, I’ll be crushed). What’s also nice about this is every part of the recipe can be done up to two days ahead of time and then it becomes merely a job of assembling. What could be better than that on a hot summer day? This salad serves six comfortably and up to 12 if you’d prefer to serve it as a side dish. Paired with a loaf of homemade French bread and finished with a rich seasonal blueberry crumb cake, it’s a meal that will leave your family and friends not only satisfied, but impressed!

Super Summer Salad

n 4 cups mesclun spring mix n 1 cup fresh spinach leaves n 3 boneless/skinless chicken

breasts, marinated (see marinade recipe below) n 1/2 cup snow peas, julienned n 1 red pepper, diced n 1 green pepper, diced n 10 baby Yukon gold potatoes n 4 hardboiled eggs n 2 pounds cooked, peeled and deveined shrimp n 1/2 cup crumbled bleu cheese n 2 cups of prepared cheesestuffed tortellini, cooked and chilled thoroughly

Homemade French Bread. n 1/2 cup slivered peeled carrots n 1/2 pound fresh green beans Broil or grill marinated chicken. Let cool at room temperature, then wrap and chill. Boil the baby potatoes for approximately 20 minutes until the skins just begin to crack. Allow these to cool at room temperature, wrap and chill. Place 4 cold eggs into a large pan of cold water. Bring this to a boil, cover and take off the heat. After 10 minutes, drain the eggs and place them in cold water for approximately 5 minutes. Crack and peel the eggs under cold running water. Chill these as well. Boil the tortellini according to the directions on the package. Drain, cool and chill. Blanch green beans in boiling water for 15 seconds, drain and place in a bowl of ice water. Drain, dry and chill. Prior to assembling the salad, slice the cooled cooked chicken into thin strips. Cut the baby potatoes into halves and quarter the hardboiled eggs. Toss your greens and spinach together in a large bowl along with your peppers, carrots, and sugar snap peas. Add chilled baby potatoes, chicken and shrimp. Place quartered hard boiled eggs around the edges of the salad. Next, mound chilled tortellini in the center of the salad and

top with crumbled bleu cheese. Christopher’s Foolproof Chicken Marinade: Combine the zest and juice of two large lemons, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper and 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil. Whisk until the mixture has emulsified. Pour this over the chicken and let marinade at least an hour, overnight is best.

Berry Crumb Cake With summer in full bloom it’s time to enjoy the fruits of the season. A favorite around my house is blueberries. This blueberry crumb cake is absolutely delectable with its moist, rich cake, sweet brown sugar topping and fresh seasonal fruit. It also does “double duty,” which is one of my favorite types of recipes. It’s won-

For the crumb cake: n 1 1/2 cups flour n 1/2 cup sugar n 1 1/2 t baking powder n 1/2 t kosher salt n 1 large egg n 1/2 cup plus 2 T milk n 2 T vegetable oil n 2 t vanilla extract For the topping: n 2 1/2 cups flour n 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar n 1 1/2 t cinnamon n 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly Make the crumb cake: In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking power and kosher salt. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla. Combine with the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until well incorporated. Fold in a half pint of fresh blueberries and spread batter into a greased quarter-sized baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 325 F. Make the topping: Combine flour, butter, light brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix this with a wooden spoon until incorporated and with clean hands, form into crumbles. Top the prepared batter with the topping, making sure to cover the entire cake. Bake for 20 minutes and cool on wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Cut into large pieces and enjoy!

Can kids enjoy their favorite lunchtime standbys and be healthier, too? Yes, says Liz Weiss, registered dietitian and founder of MealMakeoverMoms.com. Weiss, also coauthor of the family cookbook “No Whine with Dinner,” offers tips for putting a nutritious spin on kids’ lunchtime favorites while keeping them “trade-proof”: Beyond white or wheat: With pitas, naan, flatbreads, tortillas and more, any sandwich can have a global flair. Choose whole-grain options made with ingredients like 100-percent whole wheat and rolled oats. Whole grains provide more fiber as well as nutrients like B vitamins and magnesium, important for strong bones. The deli difference: Not all lunchmeat is created equal. Look for natural and organic brands made with a short, “clean” list of ingredients and no antibiotics or artificial colors, flavors or additives. Nutty for butters: Replace peanut butter with other butters such as almond, sunflower or cashew. For a fun twist, spread your child’s favorite nut butter and jelly on lavash bread, roll up and then slice into “sushi” rolls. Fruit inside, not on the side: Who says peanut butter sandwiches have to have jelly? Why not add thinly sliced bananas, strawberries or even kiwi fruit? Making a PB&J into a PB&F cuts the added sugar and boosts the flavor and nutrients. Ham & cheese sammies also pair nicely with fruit, especially sliced, crisp apples. Take the chip off the shoulder: Let kids feel like mom caved on the chips by making a savory dip with yogurt or hummus and adding whole wheat pita chips and some veggies on the side. It’s like party food for lunch.

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS – ASSESSED VALUE REVISIONS York Township, 2013 Assessed Values Median Level of Assessment: 33 1/3% Valuation Date: 01/01/2013 Relevant Real Estate Sales Information Used to Develop the Equalized Assessed Value: Sales Occurring Between 01/01/20010 – 12/31/2012 Your property is to be assessed at the above listed median level of assessment for the assessment district. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review Illinois law requires assessed values of property, other than farmland and coal, are to be assessed of 33 1/3% of fair market value. Restrictions within Illinois law delay the change in property assessments caused by changes of actual property fair cash value. State law requires the assessed values are to be adjusted based upon data from the three prior calendar years before the assessment date. In appreciating markets, this forces current property assessments to lag behind recent sales prices, and in declining markets, the decline of assessed values is delayed.

on the actual publication date(s), the estimated appeal deadline is September 23, 2013. Assessed values are one of the three variables which determine individual property tax amounts. The other two variables are homestead exemption amounts, if any, and property tax rates. Tax rates are determined from the budgets of all units of local government supplying services to your property. Your tax bill is calculated by multiplying the equalized assessment for your property (minus exemptions) by the tax rate.
