blind, in skiing lessons. “It turned her life around,” Elliott said. An avid skier and diver, he started teaching blind skiers in the 1980s and saw how it was affecting their lives through higher self-esteem and self-confidence. While he continued his day job working as an advertising executive at CLTV, the idea that scuba diving could similarly benefit individuals with disabilities began to take root. “When the kids were grown and gone, I walked away from a six-figure income to start Diveheart,” Elliott said. “I don’t make a salary, I work seven days a week and I’m not afraid to take out the garbage. And it turned from something I wanted to do to build self-esteem in people with disabilities to now doing PTSD research at Mid-

western University.” Midwestern University physical therapy program director and professor Donna Cech said the occupational therapy and physical therapy students developed a short research survey to determine if diving makes a difference in the daily lives of individuals who are disabled. “We are still analyzing the data for veterans, but I know that by meeting people, [diving] has been a very profound thing, especially if they have a physical disability,” Cech said. The university also has done research on children and young adults with autism, age 11 to 28, who have participated in the Diveheart program. “They feel better about themselves, have increased social participation, feeling of freedom in the water, and scu-

dence and have better self-perception,” Cech said. As Diveheart Military Wounded volunteer team leader for the past three years, Downers Grove firefighter and U.S. Army veteran Quinn Triplett has witnessed what diving accomplishes for wounded veterans. “As a veteran, it’s really great to interact with some of the WWII vets,” Triplett said. “They love telling stories and they get to talk about their experiences.” Triplett said in addition to the military camaraderie that is present, the veterans connect on a level outside of being a wounded veteran because they now have diving in common. “The disability doesn’t matter,” Triplett said. “Because now he’s scuba diving and has the ability to help others.” As the DMW team leader,

equipment and fills the tanks, putting in about 15 volunteer hours a week. Not surprisingly, it is diving and working with the veterans that he enjoys the most. “It feels like every time I go to an event I am making a new lifelong friend,” Triplett said. “You are helping to change their life in a positive direction.” For Young, while he still experiences daily pain, his diving experience has been transforming. “I think that diving really helps anyone who has a physical condition,” Young said. “Diveheart has the right people there, and all you need to learn to dive is to breathe. I have seen so many quadriplegics dive and come back up and have a great story to tell. We are all the same when we are in the water.”

DOWNERS GROVE – From the basics of cleanliness to soaking in hot tubs to alleviate aches, water has been known to have soothing, healing properties. But for scuba divers at Downers Grove-based Diveheart, water has a much deeper significance. The nonprofit organization, which does not charge a fee to participants, has scores of volunteers that offer scuba diving instruction and opportunities for children, adults and veterans with disabilities. The zero gravity of a liquid environment becomes the great equalizer as individuals find freedom when they temporarily lose their wheelchairs, walking aids and prosthetics. But many also find much more than they expected when they rise from the water. U.S. Army veteran Darrell Young, 59, has been participating with Diveheart since 2006. Young has been a paraplegic since a military vehicle accident injured his spinal cord in 1975. “Because I am a spinal cord patient, the deeper that I go the more the water pressure is on me and I find relief when I am at a certain depth of water,” Young said. “It seems when I come back to the top it brings out something new in me.” Young’s reaction is exactly why founder and Downers Grove resident Jim Elliott started Diveheart in 2001. “I dig the fact it is a fast payoff,” Elliott said. “You get them into the pool and they come out and believe in themselves.” The journey started in the 1980s when Elliott enrolled his oldest daughter, who was born

D-58 seeks $1.3 million tax increase for transportation, operations costs By KELLI MURRAY kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove Grade School District 58 will be seeking $1.36 million in additional tax dollars next year. The school board has approved a tentative plan to ask DuPage County to collect $53.1 million in taxes in 2015, according to documents from a recent board meeting. This year, the district will collect about $51.8 million. “The levy provides money for 80 percent of expenditures, and the lions share of expenditures are employee costs,” Controller James Popernik said. The district employs more than 600 individuals, including teachers, aides, custodians and administration staff, he added. While $1.36 million will go toward the debt service fund

er,” Popernik said. “We are requesting a 15 percent increase from last year.” District 58 spends $1.7 million a year in busing, and has implemented a new fee this year of $25 per student, according to Lorie Pilster, director of business services. Popernik said, like most school districts, District 58 increases the levy every year and because of the tax cap, the district is restricted to how much tax revenue it can request. For this tax levy the district was allowed to collect another 2.5 percent, Popenik said. “It’s about the same amount as last year,” Popernik said. “It’s a stable source of revenue for most school districts and it basically goes up incrementally every year.” There will be a public hearing on the tax levy Monday, and the board is expected to adopt the budget Dec. 8.

Q: What ways are there, in addition to toothpaste, to get fluoride? A: First of all, talk with your dentist about how much fluoride you need to have. Fluoride is a chemical compound that occurs naturally in many foods and water. It is proven to help protect teeth by making the enamel more resistant to decay. For starters, you should be using an American Dental Association-approved toothpaste that contains fluoride. Some natural sources of fluoride are tea, canned fish, apples, kale, spinach and milk. Saliva and dental plaque hold fluoride, which helps prevent the loss of minerals from the enamel. Fluoride is not just good for your teeth: it’s good for bones, too. It’s known to help prevent osteoporosis, a disease characterized by degenerative bone loss. Fluoride is credited with having reduced tooth decay in America by some 50 to 60 percent since water-fluoridation programs began after World War II. Though there’s been debate over fluoridation programs, the fact is that fluorine, from which fluoride is derived, is the 13th most abundant chemical element in our world. It’s naturally present in all water. Fluoridation programs were designed only to bring the level up to the optimum recommended level of one part per million. And remember, fluoride is only one factor in the equation for keeping teeth healthy. Regular flossing, brushing and visits to the dentist are also key to protecting your oral health.

NEWS BRIEF

DOWNERS GROVE – Fifty years of good works and projects in the Downers Grove community will be honored at the Indian Boundary YMCA Gala taking place this weekend. The gala is an annual event that, while a celebration, also is a focus to raise money for the scholarship campaign, said Kathy Bosco, interim director of Indian Boundary YMCA. In 2013, Indian Boundary YMCA provided $603,729 in financial assistance to 2,7793 individuals, according to statistics on the website. The funds assisted individuals help to receive services membership assistance, childcare programs and day camps. Tickets are still available for the gala, scheduled from 6 to 11:30 p.m. Saturday at Bobak’s Signature Events in Woodridge. “It’s all to have a fun evening and to celebrate the mission of supporting the community,” she said. “Our main focus this year is honoring the Y’s Men and Women’s Club.” John Sirovatka has been involved with the Y’s Men ‘sand Women’s Club since 1981. While he is a past board member of the club, he also is the unofficial historian of the group.

“It was formed as a service organization for the YMCA to do outreach work. We were granted a charter in 1964 to start raising awareness and funds to build the YMCA in Downers Grove,” Sirovatka said. “The Men’s Club was an active group of civic leaders and the first pledge to the capital campaign was $100,000.” It was a huge sum in 1968

WESTMONT – The village of Westmont and Westmont Fire Department is hosting an Adopt-A-Hydrant program in an effort to make sure that fire hydrants remain visible in the winter. “If this upcoming winter is as bad as last year, we will need help from our citizens to make sure our hydrants are snow-free,” Fire Chief Dave Weiss said in a news release. The village is asking residents whom are interested in the program to sign up and identify which hydrant they would like to adopt. The village hopes neighborhoods will work together to make sure that all hydrants in their area are adopted, according to a news release. To sign up, go to http:// shawurl.com/1grs.

Despite its many issues, Illinois is worth fighting for SPRINGFIELD – Someone asked me the other day if I hated Illinois. I was more than a bit taken aback. Illinois is my home. During my long newspaper career, I lived in a number of places: Texas, Iowa and Nevada. But in each of those states I felt like a visitor. But VIEWS in Illinois, I know I belong. Scott I grew up on a grain and Reeder livestock farm south of Galesburg. I obtained a master’s degree from one of this state’s fine universities. I lived in Rock Island and neighboring communities for 10 years and have resided in the Springfield area for 15. This is where I met my wife. This where we’re raising our three beautiful daughters. I’m staying, and I hope you do, too. Unfortunately, the Land of Lincoln is experiencing an exodus of jobs and people. Lower-tax states like Indiana, Texas and Florida have been the beneficiaries of this diaspora. Illinoisans want a state that works, a place where we can earn a living and raise our families. But friends, many of us recognize things are not good here. Illinois has recovered from the national economic recession slower than any other state, and our state’s finances are in shambles. But don’t just take my word for it. Wall Street has given the state of Illinois the worst credit rating of any state. Our income taxes were “temporarily” jacked up 67 percent in 2011. I was standing in the statehouse rotunda when a happy Gov. Pat Quinn told gathered reporters the tax hike was just temporary. The impact of that tax hike has been devastating. At a time when the state household incomes were dropping, tax burdens were going up. People had less money to spend, and the economy just slowed down. Now those who pushed for the temporary tax hike want to make it permanent. The bottom line is the state is taxing too much and spending too much. And Illinois is suffering for it. When I offer criticism, it’s because I love this state. I want things to get better here. After all, Illinois is worth fighting for.

Political campaigns need to be overhauled

These are my suggestions for political campaigns: Limit the time to six months before elections, then the elected politician must fulfill the duties of their office and not be out campaigning. It’ll also give ordinary citizens a chance to run because the campaign will be a little more affordable. Millions spent for an office doesn’t make sense. Two: Discontinue all the polling. Who believes all the polls, which are based on their selected questions to mysterious persons? And No. 3: Exit polls should definitely be illegal. The media uses them as projec-

We have been aggressively approached with materials that were littered with half facts and untruths. I followed up on many of their points and were quite surprised with their inaccuracies. The behavior is unprofessional and childish. This is obviously an important decision and, rather than approach those who are familiar with the two-plus year study (particularly the park district), the opposition group has resorted to quick, short-term scare and destruction tactics.

While not selected this year as the award recipient, it didn’t dampen his enthusiasm for promoting eye health. “I found out about the award in September, and I was stunned,” Hardesty said. “I didn’t expect anything like that.” Jenni Sopko, director of communications at the Illinois College of Optometry, said anyone in the community can make a nomination, but typically it is a friend or colleague. Hardesty has been practicing since 1976 after graduating from the Illinois College of Optometry. As a member of the Illinois Optometric Association, he and fellow IOA members would drive to Springfield to promote their cause – for example, the right for optometrists to dilate a patient’s eyes for a more thorough examination that could reveal medical conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and glaucoma. Diagnostic pharmaceutical agents are eye drops used to dilate pupils. Known as DPA, the anesthetic drops assist in measuring eye pressure, which is one of the risk factors of glaucoma. The legislation allowing optometrists to use DPAs passed in 1984. The next hurdle to overcome was for legislation to approve optometrists to use therapeutic pharmaceutical agents – eye drops that would help an eye infection, Hardesty said. Legislation took 10 years and was finally passed in 1995, according to Hardesty. “It became a mission, but

it was fun mission, and when we won, that was incredible,” he said. “A comprehensive eye exam doesn’t deserve that label unless you widen the pupil and get a good look.” While the change in legislation could certainly be considered a success, it is the advice and care he offers to his patients on a daily basis that makes Hardesty unique, according to patient Maureen Perry. He offers sound nutrition advice that made a difference in her own eye health. “I came to see him because I had pink eye,” Perry said. During the full eye examination, however, Hardesty discovered the macula in her eyes – the portion of the eye that provides sharper, central vision – wasn’t ideal. It was especially troubling news for Perry because she has an aunt with macular degeneration. She tries to eat healthy, but per Hardesty’s recommendations, she has been taking a vitamin supplement with Zeaxanthin, Lutein, and Vitamin D, she said. The damage to her macula has not progressed further since following the vitamin regiment, she added. “I wouldn’t have even known that my macula wasn’t perfect if Dr. Hardesty hadn’t done his tests,” Perry said. Hardesty said optometrists and medical doctors share the first two years of medical school courses and he constantly is upgrading his education through optometric continuing education courses that include nutrition among many other eye specific discussions such as glaucoma. “You cannot stop learning, it can’t be a chore, it has to be enjoyable,” he said. “This is starting year 39 and it’s still fun.”

WOODRIDGE – More than a dozen youths from the United Methodist Church congregation braved the cold and sacrificed a night of sleep to bring the issue of homelessness to the forefront during Bridge Communities’ annual Sleep Out Saturday. Fourteen members of the church’s youth group camped Saturday in cardboard boxes and tents just outside the church, 2700 W. 75th St. in Woodridge. “It was a very cold night,” said Dave Buerstetta, an associate pastor who leads youth ministries at United Methodist. “It’s certainly not a good night of sleep that you get.” The event, which had more than 75 sleep out sites across DuPage County, raises money for housing and programs for homeless families in the county. It also allows about 1,500 youth and adults who participate

I can’t imagine being in that situation.” Thanks to Bridge Communities, a nonprofit organization committed to transforming the lives of homeless families in DuPage County, the woman found a place to stay, Buerstetta said.

Wild Monk elevates gastropub offerings LA GRANGE – When eating out, it is a rare find that strikes the perfect balance between upscale cuisine and casual comfort, but downtown La Grange gastropub Wild Monk does just that. I recently ventured to the restaurant and bar for dinner on a Friday evening. The dining room, which remained full throughout the night, is minimalist, yet cozy, with a wood floor and booths, metal stools and exposed-bulb light fixtures. Televisions lined the walls, playing baseball and basketball, so no one was missing the game. We took our time placing our drink orders, perusing the expansive menu, which includes over 30 draft beers and even more bottled brews, as well as an array of signature cocktails and select wines, whiskeys, bourbons and Scotches. Among the featured breweries are west suburban favorites BuckleDown Brewing of Lyons, Pollyanna Brewing Co. of Lemont, and Two Brothers Brewing Co. of Warrenville. I opted for a seasonal beer with the Ten Ninety Brewing Co.’s De Ogen pumpkin ale, which was robust, spicy and aromatic. My companion went with BuckleDown’s Amarillo Clencher, which he found to be appealingly hoppy, citrusy and sweet. We began the meal by sharing one of several available small plates. Wild Monk offers a range of interesting options, including several types of sliders. But from the moment my companion spotted them on the menu, it had to be Brussels sprouts. Now, Brussels sprouts long have been a source of contention for the two of us – he loves them, I hate them. But at Wild Monk, we shared a rare moment of consensus on the controversial veggie. They were delicious. Tossed in bacon jam, lemon and sea salt, they were savory, sweet and just sprouty enough. To continue the meal, I by-

It was creamy and hearty – the kind of sandwich you could happily eat as a latenight snack or for breakfast the next morning. A side of Cajun fries added a seasoned

kick to the plate. For his entree, my dining companion selected the fried chicken tacos with spicy slaw, micro cilantro and chipotle aioli, which he described as light, moist and flavorful. As his side order, the plantain chips were fresh and hot, with a satisfying crunch. Before we departed, he tried one more enticing draft beer – Pollyanna’s Dr. Pan-

gloss, which somehow pulls off the delightfully bizarre combination of being both hoppy and malty. If you are a beer snob, Wild Monk will no doubt rise to your standards. If you aren’t a beer snob, fear not – Wild Monk may know beer, but it also knows how to create an environment everyone can enjoy.

CHICAGO FOOTBALL.COM Hub Arkush choice to follow the legendary Lloyd Carr. For the Wildcats, it was just two years ago that the one-time doormat of the Big Ten put together a 5-3 mark in the Big Ten, 10-3 overall, and won its first bowl game in 64 years and just the second in its history. Until Jan. 1, 2013, Northwestern’s only victory in a bowl game was in the 1949 Rose Bowl, a defeat of California. Sixty-four years later to the day, the Wildcats knocked off Mississippi State 34-0 in the Gator Bowl. Yes, the same Mississippi State that was ranked No. 1 in the country for the first time in its history at 8-0 as I pen this column. Ah, but the winds of change can blow swiftly and cruelly as they have on these two programs in recent seasons. Since Hoke’s first year at Michigan, his Wolverines have gone just 19-16 in the past two-plus seasons and a once unthinkable 11-10 in the Big Ten. Actually, things were

worse than that as Michigan prepared to visit Northwestern. Michigan had dropped eight of its past 12 Big Ten games, a streak matched only once in the past six decades by their 4-8 Big Ten record under Rodriguez in his final two seasons. Things have gotten so bad in Ann Arbor that Athletic Director David Brandon was forced to resign just 10 days before the Northwestern game, and Hoke is considered a real long shot to return for another season. While the expectations for the Northwestern football program are nowhere near those of Michigan, that Gator Bowl victory was supposed to signal a new era for the Wildcats, the first of many bowl victories to come and the possibility of someday even playing in a Big

Ten title game. Northwestern followed its 2012 breakout campaign with a 5-7 record in 2013, which included a 1-7 record in the Big Ten. The Wildcats are 3-5 this season, including 2-3 in the Big Ten following a 2-0 start to the campaign that included a 20-14 upset over 17th-ranked Wisconsin. While Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald’s job is in nowhere near the jeopardy of Hoke’s – the advantage I guess of Northwestern football’s less lofty expectations – to say his star has fallen a bit is an understatement. Just a season ago, Fitzgerald was one of the hottest names in college football coaching circles, rumored for the Texas job and almost every other major program gig that opened up. Ironically, Fitzgerald was heavily rumored for the Michigan job before both the Rodriguez and Hoke hirings. He was reportedly within a whisker of taking the Michigan job before Hoke was hired, when Northwestern stepped up with one of those “lifetime” coaching contracts every college coach covets. Not coincidentally, I am a Michigan alumnus, and our senior Bears beat reporter, Kevin Fishbain, studied at

Northwestern. Neither of us are very happy these days, but we are forever loyal. And therein lies the beauty of both the college and high school games, with one of the very few football assets the NFL cannot match. These two Big Ten programs will be back. There is glory in their futures. How soon I cannot say, but it will happen, and the alumni will always be there when it does. They are a significant part of their alumni’s lives, as are the teams of the high schools we attended and played on. Your favorite NFL team is an attachment, at times inseparable or so it seems, but at the end of the day, they are a choice. The schools you gave four or more years of your lives to, they and their teams are a part of who you are, the highs are that much higher and the lows that much more depressing. Both Northwestern and Michigan alumni deserve better than what they’ve been given lately. Hopefully, the outcome of Saturday’s game is the beginning of something really good for one side or the other.

With the Cubs’ hiring of Joe Maddon dominating the sports pages, Bears-Packers week in the NFL and the IHSA state football championships moving into the second round, the biggest story in college football in Chicago was the once-mighty Michigan Wolverines visiting the Northwestern Wildcats on Saturday. Just a couple of seasons ago, this matchup would have signaled a unique opportunity for the up-and-coming Wildcats to make a statement against one of the most powerful college football programs in the country. But on Saturday, it was a clash between two programs heading in the same direction, most definitely the wrong direction. Everyone who loves the game knows about Michigan football, the winningest program in the history of college football. As recently as three seasons ago, the Wolverines were 6-2 in the Big Ten, 11 -2 overall and playing in a BCS bowl game under first-year Michigan head coach Brady Hoke, a “Michigan man” tabbed to come in and clean up the disappointment of the three-year reign of Rich Rodriguez, “the outsider” and controversial

Mustangs stumble in playoff opener By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Downers Grove South could not muster a second-half comeback Saturday after falling behind early against Simeon in the opening round of the Class 8A playoffs. The seventh-seeded Mustangs trailed 20-0 at the end of the second quarter, and fell to second-seeded Simeon 28-7. Head Coach Mark Molinari explained the early deficit forced the Mustangs into passing situations, and a lack of offensive fire power prevented the team from mounting a comeback. “We probably had to throw a little more than we were used to,” Molinari said. “We did not run the ball effectively in the first half, and that put us behind the eight ball in the second half. “Bottom line, we did not play well in all three phases of the game. You have to give a lot of credit to Simeon, they played well tonight.” Downers Grove South (6-4) generated 69 yards of total offense in the first half, ending five drives with punts and one with an interception. After being forced to punt on their first possession, the Wolverines scored the game’s first points when quarterback Timon Watkins connected with Matt Fleming for a 39-yard touchdown reception. The duo hooked up again for a 9-yard touchdown pass play in second quarter, and Watkins scampered 8 yards into the end zone as Simeon took a 20-0 lead into the locker room. “Their quarterback was able to get out of the pocket and make some plays,” Molinari said. “They were able to connect on three big pass plays. We came after [Watkins], but he was able to get away and get rid of it.” In the opening series of the second half, defensive back Connor Murphy thwarted a Simeon drive with an interception near the Mustangs goal line. Downers Grove South then marched into opposing territory, but turned the ball

Simeon’s Watkins converted another touchdown on the ensuing drive to make it a four possession contest, essentially putting the game out of reach for the Mustangs. Running back Jacob Baker scored South’s lone touchdown, a 7-yard run with 3:57 left in the fourth quarter. The tailback totaled 20 carries for 86 yards and a touchdown. Skach went 10-of-21 for 95

yards, and defensive back Conner Murphy had two interceptions for the Mustangs. It’s the second consecutive year that the Mustangs have bowed out of the first round of the 8A playoffs. “Our road stopped a little earlier than I would have liked, but this is still a great group of seniors, and I appreciate all their hard work,” he said. “They should be proud of what they accomplished.”

Lorae Mundt - For Shaw Media

Benet quarterback Jack Sznajder looks to hand off the ball Saturday during a Class 8A first-round playoff game against Hinsdale Central.

Big plays bounce Benet from playoffs Brad Sznajder rushes for 159 yards in defeat By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Brad Sznajder was the workhorse for Benet’s offense all season as a running back. The Redwings saw no reason to change the script Saturday in a Class 8A first-round playoff football game against Hinsdale Central. Unfortunately, the Redwings weren’t as successful when they didn’t give the ball to Sznajder, and the result was a 28-11 season-ending loss against the Red Devils. “It’s a team loss. We just didn’t click on all cylinders today,” Benet head coach Pat New said. “But credit goes to Hinsdale Central. They did a great job.” Sznajder ran for a gamehigh 159 yards and scored a touchdown, but his score didn’t come until midway through the fourth quarter after Central had built a 28-3 lead. The Red Devils scored on their second play from scrimmage, an 80-yard hook-

Game breakdown Hinsdale Central 28, Benet 11 BENET LEADERS n PASSING: Jack Sznajder: 11-of-22, 123 yards n RUSHING: Brad Sznajder: 27-159, TD n RECEIVING: Myles McKernin: 1-34, Will O’Grady: 1-30, Patrick Ramatowski: 3-27, Colin Brahler: 1-17, Brad Sznajder: 3-13, Marty Dosen: 1-4 up between Matt Rafferty and Thomas Ives with 7:25 left in the first quarter. Colin Goss intercepted the ball on Benet’s next play, and Rafferty and Ives connected for a 43-yard touchdown on the play after that as the hosts grabbed an early 14-0 lead. “Spotting them two touchdowns doesn’t help. It’s a shame we couldn’t have kept it closer,” New said. “Our game is really trying to con-

trol the ball and get the ball to Brad [Sznajder] as much as possible, and when you fall behind like that, it makes it tough.” Matt Tromp’s 33-yard field goal late in the first quarter got the Redwings (6-4) on the scoreboard, but Central led 21-3 at halftime and expanded the lead to 28-3 early in the third quarter. Two of Benet’s three possessions in the second quarter ended on Alex Byrnes’ interceptions. “Colin and Alex did an awesome job in coverage on the corners, just like they’ve done all year,” Central head coach Dan Hartman said. “Anytime you can take the ball on a turnover, it swings the momentum right away.” A solid senior class extended Benet’s streak of playoff appearances to three seasons. It’s a group that will be missed next season. “I think these seniors are a group of overachievers,” New said. “I think they’re going to go on and be really successful in life. It’s that kind of group. They love to play and they love to be around each other.”
