kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The long debate over the stormwater utility fee and whether tax exempt parcels should pay the fee will not go to referendum after all.

The question whether a change in the structure of the stormwater utility fee should be put to the voters was raised

by Mayor Martin Tully during the Oct. 14 village council meeting due to the heavy opposition to the fee by more than 20 churches and nonprofits.

Stances among council members have also changed since

the inception of the utility fee, he said.

“We’ve been talking about who this would encompass for many, many years – since at least 2011, when a majority of council agreed to go forward ... and to include tax exempt parcels,” Tully said. “The makeup of the council has changed.”

Tully said there had been a fairly consistent stance from the council and then in a span of a few weeks there had been a change in heart from some of the council members.

“I think the idea of engaging the community is always positive,” Commissioner David Olsen said. “This is an

him for directions to get to a particular lake.

When the last lake was photographed two years ago, he went back to the wilderness to write essays that are sprinkled throughout the glossy pages of the book. Each of the 110 photos in the book relay a snippet of information that surrounds the image, many of them amusing anecdotes, but sometimes the short essays are quite poignant, filled with

reverence for the mountains and his family.

Profits from the book benefit Rocky Mountain National Park and the Meredith Williams Foundation, a nonprofit Williams and his wife, Pam, also a retired District 58 teacher, started in memory of their daughter, who passed away unexpectedly in 2010 at the age of 25.

Some of his best memories at the park include his daughter, he said.

“We took our first backpacking trip in the park and we camped, stayed in cabins, we laughed together and cried together,” Williams said.

On one of his many trips to Rocky Mountain National Park, Jim Williams found an unnamed lake high in the mountains. The photograph captures a crystalline lake, an oasis of peace and stillness in a rocky, harsh landscape with dark green pine trees

that dot the shoreline. It was one of his daughter’s favorite photographs. Jim Williams has since christened that calm body of water Lake Meredith, and the image graces the cover of his book.

“Every day, I get up and put my feet on the floor and think, ‘What can I do for Meri today?’” Jim Williams said.

Judging by the list of recipients that have benefited from the foundation, Jim and Pam have done quite a bit in their daughter’s memory. And it is all just beginning, Jim Williams said, hoping the book sales will continue to fund the foundation to help make a difference in the lives of those who are in need.

“Meri was kind and she would always stick up for the other guy,” Jim Williams said.

The foundation has made donations to Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, Equine Dreams therapeutic riding school, St. Baldrick’s Foundation and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, among many other charities.

“It’s keeping her spirit alive for sure,” Pam Williams said. “The foundation in her name gives us a piece of her to hold onto.”

DOWNERS GROVE – Former Downers Grove District 58 science teacher James Williams is a man filled with energy and purpose.

Retired since 2013, Williams has not sat idly on a beach, sipping a cool beverage.

In addition to marathon running and daily bicycle rides, he recently published “High Altitude Paradise,” culminating in a lifelong desire to photograph every lake – more than 150 – tucked into the towering landscape of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.

Williams has been a photographer since a road trip in 1978 took him deep into the Rocky Mountains.

“It stole my soul,” Williams said. “And I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to find one National Park and go every year?’”

That thought evolved into the idea of annually taking a photograph of each of the lakes, he added.

His mother convinced him, however, that to be a photographer he needed a business plan and a portfolio, neither of which he had, Williams recalled.

“So I did what I went to college for, and that was teaching,” he said.

Williams spent the next 30 years as a science and gym teacher at O’Neill Middle School. But the photographer inside him never went away and for 34 years he and his family would take two weeks in the summer and head into the mountains. Williams said he has been nicknamed “the lake guy” by the park rangers who have been known to ask

Town hall meetings on the horizon

By KELLI MURRAY kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – There will be a series of town hall meetings coming to Downers Grove to give residents an opportunity to engage with Village Council members and discuss the ramifications of overhauling several village buildings, including the police department and village hall.

Councilman David Olsen broached the idea of taking the facilities move plan to referendum during the Oct. 14 Village Council meeting.

“The facility plan is a significant step for our community,” Olsen said. “I think an important way to engage the community is through referendum. It is a way that allows the community to express themselves ... and I strongly support gathering input from a wide variety of people.”

Olsen said the large dollar amount involved and the use of TIF funds to allow the site to be purchased and improved prompts additional public scrutiny and discussion that

a referendum would provide.

Mayor Martin Tully said he appreciates the discussion but didn’t feel the plan should head to referendum.

“I have given it some thought, and I go back and rely on my experience and history with the community,” Tully said.

Tully added he didn’t feel the money was an issue and pointed out during a public discussion on the budget, $26 million in capital budget expenses was discussed and no one thought it should be a referendum issue.

“What I propose instead is a series of town hall meetings,” Tully said.

Tully suggested in addition to public town halls, the council host a virtual town hall where residents don’t even need to leave their homes but can still

weigh in on the topic with their input to the Village Council.

There was unanimous support for the town hall meetings from council members, with future dates of the meetings to be forthcoming. Village officials have previously said the village hall and police department buildings have outlived their useful life, are in need of new roofs, HVAC systems and other upgrades and do not meet the needs of village staff.

Official have described the police department as too small with inadequate storage space, along with a lack of private meeting areas to conduct sensitive interviews with witnesses and suspects. The village hall is too large and creates operational inefficiencies, according to previous official statements.

4 possible plans for new village hall and police station Revenues refer to existing or projected revenues that could be used for the project without using new tax dollars (all dollar figures are in millions):

TEMPORARY FILLINGS Q: What are temporary fillings and when do dentists use them?

A: Your dentist will use a temporary filling as a stop-gap measure to save a tooth. If the removal of a cavity – decay – has exposed and compromised the nerve, or pulp, of the tooth, your dentist may choose to use a temporary filling. This is also sometimes referred to as “indirect capping”. The temporary filling contains the decay and allows a wall of tooth structure to develop between the pulp and the decay and let the pulp heal. After an appropriate time, the dentist can remove the temporary filling and take an X-ray, if needed, to see if the pulp has healed. If the pulp has healed, the dentist can clean out any remaining decay and put in a permanent filling.

If the pulp damage is too severe, you may require a root canal. This is a relatively costly procedure in which an endodontist – a dentist who specializes in root canals – will remove the pulp, clean out the interior of the tooth and fill it. In the most severe cases of decay and damage to the pulp, a tooth may be beyond saving. This, of course, is an eventuality that raises any number of other concerns. So the use of a temporary filling is a conservative approach to addressing the problem of a decayed tooth.

The best way to avoid the need for a temporary filling is to brush and floss regularly at home and to visit your dentist at least twice a year.

Students are learning, growing at District 99 District 99’s 2014 student achievement results are in, and the results are positive: Our average ACT score is 22.8, a slight decrease from last year’s 22.9, but still ahead of the State of Illinois (20.7) and national (21) averages.

Our teachers are focused on literacy and it shows.

COMMUNITY Since 2007, the number of VOICE students receiving a 20 or Gina higher in reading on the ACT has risen 6.2 percent. This is Ziccardi good news, because we know that when our students are better readers, it has a beneficial impact on all of their classes—not just English.As scores in math and reading have risen, the percentage of low scores in these categories has declined, which is a trend in the right direction.

We’re encouraged by the rate of growth our students achieve, which we measure by tracking scores on standardized tests from eighth grade through junior year. For the Class of 2015, the rate of growth has been the highest it has ever been.

More students than ever are taking advanced classes. For Advanced Placement and honors level courses combined, 44 percent of students who were eligible to take these more demanding courses in the 2013-14 school year did so – the highest level we’ve seen. Not only are more students signing up for advanced level classes, but they are also succeeding in them.

For example, 80 percent of our students consistently earn AP test scores of 3, 4 and 5, demonstrating mastery of the content.

Students are succeeding in part due to our supportive programs. We monitor each student’s progress with literacy, identifying and helping those students who are most at risk for falling behind. We provide extended classroom time for certain math classes, ensuring that our teachers can spend extra time to help those who need it. Tutoring programs, including peer-to-peer sessions, provide additional ways for students to receive help.

This spring, a select group of students will take the new, state-mandated standardized test, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, which is based on the new learning standards. We have spent years developing and refining our curriculum, and feel confident that our students are well prepared to meet these higher expectations.

No matter how it’s measured, we know without a doubt that students are learning and growing at District 99.

Gina Ziccardi is the assistant superintendent for student learning at District 99, including North High and South High Schools in Downers Grove.

The Butterfield Park District referendum sounds like a boy band. The corner lot is the main singer; the lighting, playground, baseball fields, etc., are the sidekicks to reach a wider net of fans – I mean voter base.

Actually, in this context, this is known as port, often used in political wrangling to win votes at the expense of taxpayers.

People should question why Butterfield needs to ask for more money for these normal, ongoing expenses instead of working within its means.

There’s no need for careful planning or fiscal responsibility if there is a bottomless pit.

Voters should reject this time around and request a “clean” referendum just for the corner lot.

Quiz tests hearing loss with Susan Rogan Hearing conduct a professional evaluation, and discuss next steps if hearing loss is confirmed.

Do you have a problem hearing over the telephone?

Do you have trouble following the conversation when two or more people are talking simultaneously? Do people complain that you turn the TV volume up too high? Do you have to strain to hear conversations? Do you have trouble hearing in a noisy background?

“If you find you’re leaning closer when people are speaking, and cranking up the TV volume, you may have problems.

Struggling to hear in a complex group situation can be a sign,” Rogan says. “People can fumble through simple conversations, but grow frustrated while listening in a crowded environment.”

The quiz continues: Do you need to ask people to repeat themselves? Do you think most people mumble? Do you misunderstand what others are saying and respond inappropriately? Do you have trouble understanding the speech of women and children?

While hearing loss may progress slowly over time or happen suddenly, the solution is the same: seek professional help as soon as possible, since early intervention leads to the best outcomes.

Working With Your Remodeling Professional SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Rather than sell a current home and purchase one that will better fit their needs, many homeowners are choosing to save on realtors’ fees and moving expenses by remodeling their existing space. According to the National Association of Home Builders, some popular reasons for remodeling a home include adding more space; upgrading cabinets, counters, appliances and fixtures; creating a floor plan that’s customized for the homeowner’s lifestyle; improving energy efficiency; and increasing the resale value of the home.

The most important decision you can make when considering a home remodeling project is selecting a professional home remodeler to do the work, says the NAHB. A professional remodeler can save you money by doing the job correctly the first time.

They also will maintain a safe, neat job site to prevent damage to the home or injury to household members and pets. A professional remodeler will further

ensure the job meets or exceeds building codes and regulations such as the EPA Lead Paint Rule for work on homes built before 1978. You will also receive a guarantee of the quality of their work via a warranty.

It is important to work closely with the owner of the company you choose for your remodeling project. According to www. houzz.com, not only should you confirm that they have experience with the type of project you have in mind, you’ll also want to be sure you have good communication and rapport with them.

Ask detailed questions about professional training and affiliations, licensing requirements and insurance, and remember to ask for references.

Understand the contract; it should include a timetable, a materials/price list, payment terms, detailed sketches or blueprints, and provisions for conflict resolution. Working closely with the owner of the remodeling company will ensure there aren’t issues or misunderstandings with subcontractors or terms of the contract.

Two health care workers who came in contact with Duncan at Texas Presbyterian Hospital have since tested positive for the disease.

The 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history with the worldwide death total at nearly 4,500 as Oct. 15, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The outbreak largely affects West African countries.

Still, a statement on the DuPage County Health Department website said the epidemic does not pose a significant risk to the U.S. public and DuPage County Board chairman Dan Cronin said the county’s health department has been working to address the issue since August. “[The health department] have been developing all sorts of response plans and protocols. ... We’re not taking anything for granted,” said Cronin, who was briefed on the situation last week.

Cronin said it was “premature” to talk about setting aside county funds for an Ebola response.

“But, needless to say, we’re going to do whatever we’ve got to do,” he said.

Dr. Brian Harting, director of infection control at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, said nurses, physicians and cleaning staff are receiving specialized training by hospital infection control nurses in response to potential Ebola patients being admitted.

“We are teaching staff, especially nursing staff and doctors who would be caring for the patients, the proper methods for putting on and taking off personal protection items,” Harting said.

There also are planned special sites within the hospital where patients can be isolated from other patients, he added.

The disease’s migration to the U.S. has led to enhanced entry screening at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. O’Hare is one of five airports that receive more than 94 percent of West African travelers. JFK International Airport, Washington-Dulles, Newark, and Atlanta also will perform enhanced screenings, according to a CDC news release.

Phone scams hit local residents

By KELLI MURRAY kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Two Downers Grove residents have reported to police receiving harassing phone calls, with one caller claiming to be a representative of Microsoft.

Police reports indicate the first call occurred on Sept. 15 when a woman reported that an unknown male contacted her on her phone and announced he was an employee with Microsoft. He advised her that she had a virus on her laptop computer, and was able to remotely control her “mouse.”

The caller advised her that he could perform the necessary repairs. The woman provided him with her West Suburban Visa credit card as well as her social security number, according to reports.

The woman agreed to a repair charge of $300, at which time he purported to have made the repairs.

The woman reported that

News to your phone Visit shawurl.com/texts to sign up for news and weather text alerts from Suburban Life. approximately one week later she received a second call from another unknown male caller who advised her the first caller was a fraud and that he was with Microsoft. She terminated the call and contacted her credit card company, reports said. She discovered an additional charge on her Visa card for about $300 linked to PayPal. West Suburban Bank cancelled the card and advised her she would not be responsible for the charges. She was issues a second Visa card and was then notified by Visa that the second card had also been compromised. West Suburban Bank terminated both cards.

The woman had her computer repaired and contacted

the Social Security Administration and credit reporting agency.

The second scam took place Thursday, according to police reports. A woman stated that she received a call from an unknown male caller who said that her computer was broken.

She told the caller not to call and she hung up the phone.

The woman said that she received two more phone calls and threatened her saying he would shut down her computer and he was going to call “a thousand times.”

The woman said all the calls came in on the same phone number. Police called the phone number but had no success in reaching the caller.

Microsoft has a warning about phone scams on their website and how to avoid putting computers and personal information at risk. The Downers Grove Police Department has security and crime prevention tips available on its website, www.downers.us.

Sandack said there has been good use of charter schools in Chicago and one in the south suburbs that has done well and they offer children in economically challenged neighborhoods an opportunity to get a good education. He also believes that a voucher system may also work in some of these same neighborhoods where families can choose their children’s’ schools.

Chaplin said that she feels strongly that a locally controlled public school system is the best system for children and she does not support charter schools, saying there is no evidence charter schools out-perform public schools.

She also doesn’t believe in the voucher system where money is taken from public schools and given to private schools due to transparency concerns.

“We need to adequately fund education,” Chaplin said.

“We can’t continue cutting education. An educated society is the best thing we can have.”

Sandack said that Illinois has the fourth highest minimum wage in the country and raising the minimum wage will not help citizens in the long run because it doesn’t address prosperity and opportunity. Instead, the focus should be on making Illinois a friendlier state in which companies can conduct business, he said.

Chaplain said that she knows most small businesses pay above minimum wage and that with “corporate profits being higher than ever, a raise in minimum wage is the right thing to do.”

As for accomplishments in their current positions, Sandack said that he demonstrated leadership in the first step of pension reforms, and was chief co-sponsor of a bill to help DuPage County consolidate units of government.

Chaplain said that she was awarded the Lauren Elizabeth Wilson Award for railroad safety, and presented a resolution to the board that would make freight trains carrying hazardous chemicals have to apply for tougher safety standards.

Both candidates support term limits.

Regarding creating new revenue streams, each candidate took differing views.

Westmont village manager retires after DUI charges

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Westmont administrator Ron Searl, charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in July, has retired, according to the village.

Searl, the village manager since 2004, had been on an extended leave of absence due to his July 3 DUI charge, but in September, he decided to retire.

Larry McIntyre, communications director for the Village of Westmont, said the village “received and accepted the retirement notice” from Searl on Sept. 9.

Searl, 54, was arrested at 11:37 p.m. July 3 while driving west near 55th Street and South Prospect Avenue in Clarendon Hills. Police witnessed him driving in the center turn lane before signaling and proceeding into a parking lot of a closed business, according to Clarendon Hills Police Chief Ted Jenkins.

He failed a subsequent field sobriety test and was arrested and processed at the Clarendon Hills Police Department, where it was determined his blood-alcohol content was 0.112, Jenkins said.

In September, Searl was sentenced to 18 months supervision and also was sub-

jected to fines.

Searl began his career with the Village of Westmont as an intern in 1982. In 2004, he was named village manager, according to McIntyre.

Steven May has been serving as acting village manager while the village searches for a permanent hire. There is no timeline for a hire, McIntyre added.

In an email to the Westmont Suburban Life, the village thanked Searl for his tenure.

“I want to thank Ron for his service, dedication and commitment to the community,” Mayor Ron Gunter said. “We wish Ron well in his retirement.”

Searl is not the first Village of Westmont employee to face drunken driving charges.

In December 2011, former Westmont Fire Chief Frank Trout was accused of a drinking -and-driving incident in which he crashed into a parked car in unincorporated DuPage County.

The village placed Trout on unpaid administrative leave the day after he was arrested.

Trout pleaded not guilty and was acquitted of driving under the influence of alcohol charges but not before the Village of Westmont issued a statement that Trout would be retiring.

Young dancers learn discipline, grace SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman Toddlers can take ballet dance classes. But should they?

Is it worth it to enroll a two-yearold child in a formal class?

Yes, according to LiveStrong, a health-based resource: Dance classes help channel energy for exuberant youngsters, provide a healthy alternative for team sports, and improve flexibility and stamina. Dance’s repetitive motions build muscles, and boost posture, balance, coordination, and cardio-vascular fitness.

LiveStrong cites that since dance classes are social, students improve their communication skills, learn teamwork, and make new friends.

The school of the Salt Creek Ballet (SCB) in Westmont offers classes for toddlers through adult. SCB believes that a “classical ballet foundation is the basis of any of today’s dance styles.

SCB strives to nurture children and adults in the beauty, discipline and art of dance.”

The school’s “’Fairy Tale Ballet lets two-and-one-half-year-

olds combine fun, discipline, and group activities with the basics of ballet technique to provide a strong foundation for continuing study.”

Salt Creek Ballet acknowledges that “seldom do young dancers go on to become professionals. Yet, regardless of their level, we believe all dancers are deserving of the very best instruction available.”

The Avery Coonley School in Downers Grove recently hosted 20 students from Collège Privé Joseph Niel in Muret, France. Several Coonley students visited the French school in June; the two are establishing a sister school relationship.

If a student is serious, “We are prepared to challenge even the most advanced students with a vigorous program including ballet technique, pointe, jazz, character (historical dance), and variations. The summer intensive classes also include classes in modern, contemporary, and musical theater.”

SCB’s mission is “To offer high-quality training to students of all ages, to present professional quality dance performances to diverse area audiences, to provide high-level performing opportunities for area dancers, and to encourage appreciation and awareness of dance in the community.”

Gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner pays a visit Oct. 15 to Papa Passero’s to greet customers, including Katrina and Chip Wood.

Salt Creek Ballet offers classes for all abilities and age levels at its four studios in Westmont.

WESTMONT – With just about two weeks left before votes are cast, gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner spent an evening last week speaking with customers Papa Passero’s in Westmont about his plans for Illinois, if elected.

Rauner said his visit to Westmont was just about spreading the campaign’s message.

“I’m going to work closely with the mayors all over the state,” Rauner said. “…

To help them get a better business climate, [increase] jobs, help reduce tax burden on our families and invest in schools.”

Rauner said he’s a businessman running for governor because he loves Illinois and wants to see change in Springfield. Echoing him, Willowbrook Mayor Frank Trilla – who co-owns Papa Passero’s – said there could be opportunities here with Rauner in office.

“Government needs to be run like a business,” Trilla

said. “Rauner will be more fiscally conservative, bring a great community sense and fiscal approach to government.”

Looking ahead, the next goal is to simply get people to cast their votes, according to Rauner.

“It’s all about reminding voters to come out,” Rauner said. “We need everyone to get out and vote. Democracy doesn’t work unless voters get out and the reality is many voters don’t vote if it’s not the presidential election.”

WESTMONT – The Westmont High School girls volleyball program helped fight breast cancer by holding a Volley for the Cure event during their games Thursday.

Varsity coach Jennifer Gliwa-Bell said she estimates they raised $2,200 for breast cancer research through T-shirt sales, a bake sale, raffles and donations from the community.

Gliwa-Bell said the games against Herscher were a festive occasion, with pink decorations and the school band playing.

With other student athletes in the stands to show support, she said it is one of the most attended games of the season.

Gliwa-Bell said the teams started hosting the fundraiser seven years ago, inspired by two coaches whom had family members with breast cancer.

She said the event has grown each year as parents and com-

munity members have become more involved.

The game also was special for the varsity team because it was Senior Night.

“I really like my school’s participation in the Volley for a Cure event so we can help raise money for breast cancer research,” senior middle hitter and co-captain Gabby Slagle wrote in an email to Westmont Suburban Life.

“It’s a great night where the school comes together as a whole and celebrates a certain cause, not to mention that we tie in the Senior Night activities to honor all the seniors who have been involved with the volleyball program for four years.”

Other seniors on the team include Mara Casper, Elisa Klewinski and Alana Pace.

Gliwa-Bell said participating in the fundraiser is a good bonding experience for all of the teams.

“Spending time together off the court is important,” she said.

North High hosted South High on Oct. 3 in the annual Cross-Town Classic football game.

Restaurant reviews

Citrus Diner squeezes flavor into breakfast, lunch WESTMONT – Gracing the corner of a brick shopping center, just off Ogden Avenue and Pasquinelli Drive, sits Citrus Diner, where a fresh and filling feast awaits.

The diner, which a veteran restaurateur opened in May, has bright white walls decorated with art and festive sayings celebrating healthful ingredients and lifestyles.

Once we settled in our window-seat booth, the staff eagerly helped begin our experience at Citrus Diner, which serves breakfast and lunch until 2:30 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

Given its name, I knew the restaurant’s orange juice had to be worth tasting – an assumption I’m glad I made.

Once we’d settled on drink orders, my companion and I began tackling the toughest decision of the afternoon – what to order.

When the menu items’ descriptions synched up with our grumbling bellies, my fellow diner and I easily zeroed in on our lunches. To begin, we ordered a side of the restaurant’s homemade potato and sweet potato chips.

It’s a delicious choice best to share to avoid spoiling your appetite.

For my main course, I chose the Tucson Toss – one of Citrus Diner’s many leafy green dishes. The salad was prepared with mixed lettuces and mesclun, Cajun chicken breast, avocado, corn, tomato, and cheddar and Jack cheese along with tortilla strips.

Typically, the combined ingredients would have been tossed in ranch dressing, but for my taste buds, I ordered the spicy Cancun dressing on the side, which provided a very tasty kick.

And while the restaurant serves a plethora of breakfast items, it was the sandwiches that caught the eye of my companion, who opted for the burrito club. The deftly layered concoction includes smoked turkey, bacon, sliced avocado, tomato, and Jack and cheddar cheese with mixed greens.

About David Edwards

DOWNERS GROVE – David Edwards is embracing a new role on the Downers Grove North football team.

The Trojan senior began his varsity career three seasons ago as a sophomore, taking snaps under center and leading North’s option offense. But heading into the final game of his high school career, Edwards – still a starter on the defensive line – is more of a quarterback coach than a quarterback, helping now-starting quarterback Kenny Yeo, who has led the team to back-to-back victories against York and Proviso West.

“Kenny is a smart kid and a great football player,” Edwards said. “With his speed and versatility, he brings a lot to the table. He’s a senior, too, so he has a good handle on the offense, but I want to help him and the team in any way possible.”

Edwards led the Trojans to the 7A quarterfinals as a sophomore and junior, but even the four-star recruit (according to scout.com) couldn’t right the ship this season, as North lost five straight games starting in Week 2.

Since being removed from the starting quarterback role after a Week 6 loss, Edwards has maintained a team-first attitude. During Yeo’s first two starts at quarterback, Edwards has often been by his side, giving him advice and encouragement and helping him read defenses.

“I’ve known Dave since kindergarten,” Yeo said. “So having him there on the sideline to help me adjust to QB has meant a lot. I don’t think I would be in this position without his help.”

The move also gives Edwards a chance to increase his reps at defensive end. The senior played a majority of the defensive snaps Friday against Proviso West, assisting in a nearly flawless performance as the Trojan defense

“I like playing defensive line,” Edwards said. “It’s nice to balance my role in the offense with more work on D. The entire defense has played well together the last two games, and hopefully we can keep that going.”

While Friday’s Week 9 game against Hinsdale Central marks the end of the Trojans’ season, it is not the final chap-

ter of Edwards’ football career.

In June, the 6-foot-7, 235-pound Division I prospect committed to play football at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he will likely see playing time as a tight end.

Seven other colleges recruited Edwards, including Illinois and Indiana, but he said Wisconsin’s offensive schemes set the program

apart from the others.

“I like the way they use their tight end and offensive line,” Edwards said. “Their coaching staff runs a lot of two and three tight end sets. Not many programs around here do that.

“Wisconsin also has a great tradition, stable program, winning coach, unbelievable atmosphere and great academics – it’s really the total package.”

After an appearance in the quarter finals last season, Downers Grove North will be eligible for the 2014 playoffs.

Hinsdale Central secured an automatic playoff berth with a win Friday against OPRF.

Edwards said he visited the campus several times, and speaks with coaches regularly but is not yet sure if he will redshirt next season.

Regardless, the senior remains focused on the final game of the season, the annual rivalry matchup with Hinsdale Central.

“All that matters now is getting one more win bringing home the Old Oaken Bucket,” he said.

Downers Grove South extends win streak to five games SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA HILLSIDE – The Downers Grove South football team is on a hot streak heading into the final week of the season.

In their only afternoon game of the regular season, the Mustangs traveled Saturday to Hillside and defeated Proviso East 28-12, extending their winning streak to five games. The victory also clinches an automatic playoff berth for the Mustangs.

Downers Grove South (6-2,

4-1 WSG) has not lost since a home contest against conference-leading Addison Trail on Sept. 12. During the win streak, the Mustangs have outscored opponents by an average margin of 16.8 points.

Although Addison Trail has wrapped up the West Suburban Gold Conference championship, Friday’s rivalry game between Downers Grove South and Hinsdale South will decide second place in the conference.

Heading into the matchup

with identical conference and overall records, the winner also will improve its IHSA points total heading into the first round of the playoffs.

This season, Hornets are a perfect 4-0 at home while the Mustangs have proven to be road warriors, winning three out of four games in other teams’ buildings. Both teams sport potent offenses, but on paper, Hinsdale South has a slight edge, scoring 29.1 points a game to Downers Grove South’s 25.3.

Week 9 matchup n WHO: Downers Grove South

at Hinsdale South n WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday n WHERE: Hinsdale South High School, 7401 Clarendon Hills Road, Darien n RECORDS: Downers Grove South (4-1 WSG), Hinsdale South (4-1 WSG) n OUTLOOK: Second place

in the West Suburban Gold conference will be determined in the Week 9 rivalry matchup between Downers Grove South and Hinsdale South.

Both programs are playoff bound but also can improve their playoff footing with wins in the final week of the season.

Downers Grove North Senior | Football Why Yeo was selected: Quarterback Kenny Yeo racked up more than 250 total yards and four touchdowns against York and Proviso West, powering the Trojans to back-to-back wins.

When Downers Grove North needed a spark after a fifth straight loss, the coaching staff made a change at quarterback, calling on senior Kenny Yeo. In Yeo’s first two starts of his varsity career under center, he helped jump-start the Trojan offense, guiding the team to consecutive victories. Yeo, the Sears Appliance & Hardware Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Alex Soulier about his recent success and the final game in a Trojan uniform.

Soulier: Describe what it’s like ending your high school career as starting quarterback.

Yeo: It’s a big shift. I played receiver earlier in the year before making the switch to quarterback. But it’s been a lot of fun.

Soulier: Did you expect to end your senior season as starting QB?

Yeo: Never. I didn’t think it would go down like this. But I’m proud of myself and proud of my teammates. We have all worked really hard to get where we are, and I feel like I’ve made the most out of it and enjoyed the ride.

Soulier: You ran for more than 260 yards and four touchdowns in two games. What’s gone right for you.

Yeo: The blocks are there,

I’m following everything and making the right reads. My teammates are making it happen for me.

Soulier: How would you describe your style at quarterback?

Yeo: I’m definitely an option quarterback, not much of a passer. I think I’ve only thrown two passes in the last two games. But I run fast and hard and try to play with a lot of intensity.

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT CHICAGOFOOTBALL.COM

CHICAGO FOOTBALL.COM Hub Arkush quantity of shouting that went on in the Bears’ locker room.

That said, I completely agree with Gould that the emotion and raised voices are most likely much ado about nothing. The fellas were chapped and needed to let off a little steam.

I get it, and you all should, too. There is no revolution or dissension brewing in the Bears’ locker room, and this is clearly not a team splitting at the seams.

These Bears just need to play better football and maybe give the ball to Matt Forte more than twice per half.

What surprises me is how everybody’s missing the real issue and the bigger question: Can it really be a good thing for the Bears that it appears to be Marshall making most of the noise?

Let’s discuss a couple of facts. Marshall has done a nice job of reinventing himself and avoiding off-thefield problems since arriving

in Chicago.

He also has been pretty good at creating off-the-field distractions so far this season while his reception and yardage production are well off prior seasons.

Marshall is no longer a Denver Bronco because they didn’t want him in their locker room anymore, and he’s no longer a Dolphin because they didn’t want him in their locker room anymore either.

So do we just wait for the storm clouds to dump all over us?

Asked if he thought it was a good thing for Marshall to be making all the noise, Willie Young, who just happens to be one of the few Bears with a right to scream, said “Everyone handles

IT’S ALL ABOUT DRIVE

“Everyone handles situations differently.

I’ve been around guys that are very passionate about the game.

I’ve been around the guys who won’t say one word after a win or after a loss.

Everyone handles it differently.

And everyone’s entitled to their opinion.”

situations differently. I’ve been around guys that are very passionate about the game. I’ve been around the guys who won’t say one word after a win or after a loss. Everyone handles it differently. And everyone’s entitled to their opinion.”

Fair enough. Asked almost the same question, Marc Trestman responded, “I told our team after the game in the locker room, just as

I’m telling you, we have to always be accepting of how people express themselves after a game because they’re coming down from a week of working hard and building their emotions and passions for the game and I’m not reading anymore into it than that, and we have to be accepting and nonjudgmental and let it pass.”

Here, I beg to differ. It’s the head coach’s job and responsibility to make sure he and his team don’t suffocate with their heads stuck in the sand, ignoring over-the-top behavior from a player with a track record of it.

Maybe the boss is on top of it and just telling us what he thinks he has to, protecting his troops while he handles it behind closed doors.

Maybe this is just the new Marshall and there’s nothing to worry about.

Still, it’s hard not to wonder if the Jets could use another receiver.

After basically being silent on the football field for 60 minutes against the Dolphins on Sunday, a few of the boys on the Bears made some noise in the locker room afterward.

Actually, I was there in the middle of the media melee with everyone trying to get the scoop on why all the drama happened between teammates and friends in their club-sponsored man cave.

Clearly, there was some shouting, and as soon as that happens in an NFL locker room, inquiring minds want to know why.

Robbie Gould has been heavily rumored to be the target of some of the shouting, allegedly coming from Brandon Marshall. But Gould told Patrick Mannelly and Matt Spiegel on 670 The Score on Monday morning, “To be honest with you, it was just a matter of people trying to find a story, make a story because we lost.”

Not true, Robbie. I spend every Sunday and a whole bunch of my Mondays and Thursdays around NFL locker rooms, and it is extremely rare for the media waiting outside for postgame entry to hear either the level or
