DOWNERS GROVE – While the Marquis on Maple multi-family residential development will move forward with construction this spring, the future is still unknown for the Victorian home at 942 Maple Ave. In early December, the village council approved a special use permit for the development, but the question remained for the historic home, commonly referred to as the Edwards House: Tear down or relocate the structure?

The possibility that the home would be demolished prompted the formation of a grassroots group to try to save the house, and residents voiced their concerns at multiple council meetings.

Prospective buyers of the home Michael and Mae Behm have stepped aside, while Downers Grove resident John Tillotson has come forward, offering property where the home could be moved. The buyer, developer and village are working together on a solution in response to the public’s concern.

During the Jan. 20 council meeting, a

proposal was discussed regarding relocating the structure. The move of the 40by-40 foot home from its current property to a proposed new lot at 743 Maple Ave., however, would result in scores of trees on public and private land being cut down or severely trimmed.

Village Manager David Fieldman said village staff worked to find solutions to save the house and relocate the trees.

The parkway trees that would be removed, some with trunks as wide as 30 inches, according to Planning Manager Stan Popovich, would be replaced by the village with 3-inch-wide trees.

Several residents came forward during the meeting to protest the tree removal.

“I don’t live on Maple Avenue, but I do think it could be an issue for the community,” resident Jo Potts said. “I am a tree hugger. I think when you look at impact on the trees, just looking at the audience and no offense, but most of us won’t live long enough to see the canopy grow back. And it’s my understanding that residents with the private property trees can just say no and if I had my own personal tree in jeopardy, I would just stand tall and say no.”

Scott Lazar lives in the 800 block of Maple Avenue and said he was initially excited about the prospect of moving the Edwards House.

“It was great to see private citizens come forward with creative initiatives, but I do have some considerations and concerns that, frankly, make it difficult for me to support this,” he said.

Lazar contacted the Morton Arboretum for information about tree trimming, and was informed that trimmed trees could die over time, cut tree limbs would not grow back and there is an increased risk from weak or falling branches, he said.

Some residents, such as longtime Edwards House supporter Christine Martin, still wanted to save the historic home.

“As a resident of Maple, I am in full support of having the Edwards House moved to 743 Maple,” Martin said.

“Moving the Edwards House to this location is the perfect, ideal situation.

The home is preserved and also helps property values. ... The trees are lovely and help the scenery of Maple Avenue, but I am in favor of losing trees and replanting trees. If this house goes to the wrecking ball, that house never comes back again.”

Potential buyer Tillotson said he felt the need to clear the air.

Downers Grove battles aftermath of blizzard DOWNERS GROVE – The blizzard that hit the Chicago area dumped 19.1 inches of snow on Downers Grove on Saturday evening through late Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service.

Ricky Castro, a meteorologist with the service in Chicago, said the snowfall totals for DuPage County have surpassed 1 foot.

“Some of the high amounts we’re seeing over the two days is 15 to 19 inches,” he said.

Winfield had the highest recorded snow in the county at 19.2 inches.

Village snowplow crews have been working since 8 p.m. Saturday, according to Director of Public Works

Nan Newlon.

“We have had 12-hour shifts running continuously since the storm started,” she said. “We have 16 drivers on the road at any given time covering 10 snowplow routes.”

Newlon said, as of 5 p.m. Monday, all priority one and two streets had been cleared and that trucks were then sent into the village’s 300 cul-de-sacs and dead ends.

“We will probably be working the rest of the week,” Newlon said Monday.

“We have piles of snow throughout the village, in downtown parking lots and in cul-de-sacs that will get pretty high.”

Newlon said the village has hired a contractor to help move the piles of snow to be dumped into a field on Public Works property.

Changes in the village’s snow plan,

including adding snowplow drivers and using a 5-ton truck with a plow and a loader with a snowbox and plow, contributed to keeping the roads in better shape than during the 2011 blizzard, she said.

“I think the changes we implemented in our snow plan has paid off,” Newlon said.

Because of the snowfall, the Downers Grove Public Library was closed Monday, as well as Community High School District 99 and Downers Grove Grade School District 58.

Additionally, the Park District canceled all youth programs, preschool and Kidzone Monday, although 4500 Fitness remained open.

cording to Village Communications Director Doug Kozlowski.

Castro said the snow is a result of an “unseasonably high amount of moisture” being carried from the tropics of the Pacific Ocean. That, combined with the fact the system was slow moving and the weather was cold enough, resulted in the large snowfall.

According to the National Weather Service, Chicago O’Hare International Airport had 19.3 inches of snow, which set the record for the snowiest day in February. That ranks as the fifth-largest snow storm in Chicago’s history.

Castro said the whole system has passed and there are no signs of any more significant snowfall.

“It doesn’t look like anything significant in the next seven to 10 days, so far,” he said.

D-99 adopts 1:1 Learning for 2015-16 school year

By KELLI MURRAY kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Students in Community High School District 99 will be issued Chromebooks in the 2015-16 school year, thanks to the Board of Education’s recent approval of a 1:1 Learning technology fee.

The 1:1 Learning program provides each student with one digital device, in this case the Chromebook. About 5,000 students at North and South high schools will be issued a Chromebook in the fall of 2015 that will ensure students have access to instruction and digital content inside and outside of school, according to the district.

The 1:1 Learning technology fee is not expected to exceed $100, which will help supplement a portion of the cost, Superintendent Mark McDonald said.

Although the final figure to purchase nearly 5,000 Chromebooks has not yet been determined, McDonald said the pilot program cost about $500,000.

Chromebook laptops sold through retail outlets to the public typically sell for $200 to $400, much cheaper than most traditional computers. They also have a limited feature set compared to traditional computers.

Chromebooks primarily function through the Internet and run the Google Chrome browser, said Rod Russeau, director of technology. Just like with all the computers with the school district, there is an Internet filter that will block certain sites, and there will be no exception with the mobile Chromebooks, he said.

“With the Internet filter, no matter where the students are, the first stop is through the school portal,” Russeau said.

In 2011, District 99 made a decision to install wireless Internet access throughout both North and South high schools in preparation for 1:1 Learning.

6 Film festival at Tivoli to showcase high school students’ projects

By KELLI MURRAY

If you go

kmurray@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove South High School senior Jasmine Monet, 18, was contemplating the focus of a documentary and was torn between molecular gastronomy and student bands as the subject matter.

After a round of brainstorming with other students and instructors in the View from the Director’s Chair class at the Downers Grove Public Library, a decision was made.

“Molecular gastronomy is an insane amount of science and food,” Monet said. “So we decided on bands.”

Monet and film partner Sydney Wagner’s documentary, “Bands After Class,” along with three other original documentaries directed and produced by North and South high school students, and one prequel film, will be showcased at the Downers Grove Public Library Film Festival on Saturday at Tivoli Theatre.

The other films are “Live from DGPL’s Media Lab,” by Jack Scacco and Jenna Raymond; “Co-Op,” by Jameson Ghalioungui, Jim Gritis and Joe Pitelka; “Less Stress,” by Niara Briggs, Zack Rendek and Ray Yuson; and “Can’t Touch This,” by Bella Cotterell, Nina Kay and Andres Mejia.

Jasmine Monet and Jameson Ghalioungui participate in a class exercise, working on interviewing techniques and camera skills.

Monet was in a film studies class at South High when a presentation was made to the class last fall about a documentary film making course coming to the library. The presentation intrigued the Woodridge resident enough that she decided to sign up.

“So many people want to pursue arts and film but don’t know where to go,” Monet said. “They are ready for handson help. [In this class] you are looking at documentary films and using editing software and learning things you can

use after the class is long gone and over.”

The inaugural library film class stems from a desire to connect high school students with the new media lab that was part of the library’s recent renovation, according to Lynette Pitrak, teen services coordinator at the Downers Grove Public Library, who wrote a grant for the program.

“We received $5,000 from the Best Buy Foundation for community grants that are specifically geared towards working with teens and children to

bring 21st century technology into the classroom or community endeavors,” Pitrak said.

The grant was enough to provide film equipment, including cameras, light set, a variety of lenses and microphones. A portion of the grant also went to independent Chicago film director Laura Zinger, who owns 20K Films, to guide the students during the two-hour, one day a week documentary film course that ran for eight weeks.

“I think documentary films are easier to put one together than a fiction film,” Zinger said. “Anyone’s documentary will be interesting because it’s about people’s lives.”

In another example, a North High English teacher was traveling to a conference where he was presenting, and even though a substitute teacher was in the classroom, the teacher was able to host an online discussion with the students while he was in the airport, she said.

“If they did not have the Chromebooks, that could not have happened,” Ziccardi said.

Ziccardi said the enhanced learning possibilities will only help the students as they move beyond the high school classroom.

“My focus is about learning, it isn’t about the devices,” Ziccardi said. “I look at what opportunities this provides students to learn at a deeper level in a different way and how this best prepares them for what comes next.” ing written agreements with owners of the private property trees that must be trimmed or removed, according to village documents.

“This really is a community conversation because of this widespread desire to preserve the home if possible.

There are a lot of obstacles involved,” said Mayor Martin Tully. “I think everybody is well intentioned and has the best interest of the community at heart. It’s a difficult puzzle and we’ll see if we together can solve the puzzle.”

A decision on relocating the home is expected in the coming weeks.

BONES OF THE MOUTH

JUDI STRAUSS, E.A.

Q: What are the bones that make up the mouth?

A: Five major bones make up the structure of the mouth. They are the mandible, which is the lower jawbone; the maxilla, the two bones of the upper jaw, and two bones called palatal bones that form the roof of the mouth.

The mandible, an arch-shaped bone, is the strongest, thickest bone in your skull. The mandible, in fact, is the only bone that moves when you open and close your mouth. It pivots on rounded knobs called “condyles”. The condyles pivot and slide at what are called the “temporomandibular joints”, also called TMJs. (You may have heard of TMJ syndrome, which is a condition that can develop with those joints.)

The two bones of the upper jaw extend upward and backward from the teeth to the bases of the cheek and nose bones. Like other bones in the cranium, or the skull, a thin line of connective tissue called a “suture” joins the two palatal bones. As with many other parts of the body, the suture is flexible and easily stretched during infancy and childhood. It becomes more rigid with age. This is a fact that figures prominently in orthodontic treatment.

Talk with your dentist about the underlying structure of your mouth and about steps you can take to keep all of them healthy and functioning the way they ought to.

ACA and Your Taxes...

The Affordable Care Act is a big part of your taxes for 2014. You will need to indicate on your 1040 if you (and your dependents) had health insurance all year - or with less than a 3 month gap.Taxpayers with Medicare, Medicaid or employer health insurance all year are considered covered.

If your answer is NO, then you may have to pay a penalty computed on a new Form 8965. The penalty is based on your adjusted gross income and gets added to the tax you pay.

If your answer is YES and you bought your insurance through a health exchange, you will receive a Form 1095-A. This form wills how when you were covered, who was covered, and whether you got an advance credit to help you pay the premiums. With this form, you will have to reconcile your coverage, payments and advance payments on another new form 8962 to see if you are eligible for a credit or have to pay some of the credit received back to the IRS. If you do not answer this question, your return will be rejected by the IRS. Truly not simple.

STRAUSS TAX SERVICE can correctly prepare your 2014 Federal and IL taxes and your ACA new forms. We will answer your many questions for 2014 and ahead for 2015 and save you money. We are located at 624 62nd Street, Downers Grove and are open from 9AM - 9PM daily.

“We made sure we had multiple departments included, and multiple grade levels of students included,” Ziccardi said. “We had a few parent nights in December, and most parents were very positive about the program.”

A parent survey was sent out which also returned with positive feedback, she said.

Students will be issued the Chromebooks in the same manner as textbooks, and students will be expected to bring them to school fully charged daily. The teaching staff uses laptops but can interact with students using the Chromebooks in a variety of ways.

The students were introduced to how to interview subjects for their films and the importance of a good storyline or topic, in addition to working with editing software such as FinalCut and iLife, according to Monet.

Following Zinger’s guidance, Monet and Wagner ended up not interviewing their subjects in the library.

“The library is a fine place to shoot, but it’s not truthful to the band’s natural environment,” Monet said. “So we went to their house where the band was set up in the basement and where they get their juices flowing and where they write music.

They were very comfortable in their environment, so it worked out really good.”

Zinger made her first documentary, “Proceed and Be Bold!”, in 2008. She said she wanted the students to understand visual storytelling and visual language, which are different from a written story.

Business experts ‘cautiously optimistic’ for 2015

By KELLI MURRAY

Watch online

kmurray@shawmedia.com The million-dollar question always seems to ponder what the future will bring. Prosperity? Jobs?

Hard questions with no easy or one-size-fits-all answer. A panel of experts tackled some of those difficult questions Jan. 27 during the Economic Forecast 2015 event hosted by Suburban Life Media.

Keynote speaker John Quigley, president and CEO of Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce, offered a mixed bag of news in his opening remarks to the more than 100 business and community members in attendance at the Drury Lane Conference Center in Oak Brook Terrace.

“I’ve lived in the western suburbs for almost 60 years,” Quigley said. “It’s always been a vibrant place to live.

This is a great idea for a conference and great place to get business leaders together.”

He offered snapshots of economic growth in 2014, including that the nation is experiencing the fastest job growth since 1999, interest rates remain at historic lows to help keep inflation rates in check, and the national unemployment rate is less than 6 percent,

There also has been investment in Elmhurst through the use of a tax increment financing district in the north end of Elmhurst, anchored by a new

Theresa Schulz, president and managing broker of Schulz Properties Commercial Real Estate in Downers Grove, responded to a question referencing the state of the commercial real estate industry.

“What I’ve seen is a change in the big-box retailers,” Schulz said. “They have maxed out in the market place. ... The grocery stores made a major impact in 2014. ... We are so grateful for Caputo’s coming to the market, and they brought a new element into the market.”

In speaking to the skill set required for future employees who are still in college, Timothy Ricordati, dean of the School for Professional Studies at Elmhurst College, cited a study from the Association of American College and Universities that asked employers what skill they would seek in an employee.

“Ninety percent said the most important characteristics are soft skills:

critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills and the ability to work in teams,” Ricordati said. “The undergraduate major of that person is secondary to having those skills. That is eye opening.”

Ultimately, for businesses in 2015, the future does look bright.

To the Editor: Bill HB0306 has been filed with the Illinois General Assembly. Bill HB0306 would amend the Education Act to guarantee parents the right to opt out of state mandated standardized testing, such as PARCC, without a negative impact on a student’s grade, a teacher’s evaluation or a school’s funding.

I urge parents in Illinois to call your representative. Ours in Downers Grove is Rep. Ron Sandack (81st District).

He will listen. Please ask your representative to support Bill HB0306 and your rights as legal guardians of your

children. Right now, ISBE have released the hounds so to speak by unleashing lobbyists to pressure our elected officials to reject the bill.

We, as parents, have rights. Please call your elected officials today. The bill and all your representatives are in Springfield this week. It is imperative that they hear our voice and protect our rights as parents. This is especially essential for parents of children with severe disabilities. Your children will be made to take these tests too!

Here is a direct link to the bill and its status http://shawurl.com/1pjf.

OUR VIEW

Breuder’s windfall part of a pattern of poor leadership In a state with budgets in disarray, with the biggest pension crisis in the nation, with one governor in prison for corruption and another just recently released, it’s pretty tough to stomach Robert Breuder’s $760,000 payoff to retire early as College of DuPage president.

At $142 per credit hour, a full-time student at College of DuPage taking 15 credit hours of classes can expect to pay $6,390 in tuition and fees alone. So Breuder’s windfall could pay for 118 students to go to school for a year, tuition free.

Beyond the money itself, there’s the problem of what it represents. With this deal, which the College of DuPage trustees have approved twice now, Breuder gets to walk away from this job proud of all his achievements, convinced his tenure was a magnificent success, marred only by some meaningless unpleasantness at the very end.

Oh, and he gets a building named after him.

But what we don’t know is how many of those achievements and grand successes are empty. Breuder’s surprise retirement has come on the heels of the release of an email that showed the kind of dirty politics he’s capable of. He’s been exposed as just another Illinois charlatan, the kind of leader who has no qualms about pointing one way and then running the other.

Breuder’s email to the board, which leaked in July, shows him proposing to deceive the state by making a planned project more politically attractive in order to wrangle $20 million in funding that the college was owed.

In the email, Breuder expressed frustration over dealing with the governor’s office to free up the $20 million and said he wanted the board to convey the need for a teaching and learning facility as a means to obtain the money.

“I have no problem with [board members commenting on the need for a facility]; how-

ever, not being able to say how we would use the state’s money (perhaps no real need) could lessen our chances to break the money loose at this time (the political moon is rising),” Breuder said in the email. “A building that focuses on teaching and learning is politically attractive; more so than let’s say a student center, PE facility, etc.”

Breuder also suggested getting the funding from the state and coming up with a plan of how to spend it at a later date.

“There is also the option of telling the Governor we want the money, will bank it until we figure out how to use it and then building something,” Breuder said in the email. “Bottom line: I need some room to breathe on this matter so I can enhance the likelihood we get the $20 million soon.”

The Chicago suburbs have seen something like this play out before. It was only in 2009 that McHenry County College up in Crystal Lake told their president, Walt Packard, that his services were no longer needed. They decided they couldn’t fire him, though, and gave him another $200,000, plus benefits, for his trouble.

Looking further downstate, when University of Illinois President Michael Hogan was fired in 2012 after just 20 months on the job – after succeeding another fired president – he was awarded a one-year, $285,100 “sabbatical” before he then returned as a history professor.

Then these “leaders” go on to collect exorbitant pensions on top of the one-time piles of cash.

As Illinois residents, as taxpayers in DuPage County, we can have no tolerance for these kinds of shenanigans anymore. We don’t want to hear that this is how things get done. Somehow, other states manage to get things accomplished without constantly resorting to dirty dealing.

These payouts for failure have to stop.

Lately, I have become aware of Downers Grove and DuPage County Sheriff cars in black. This color is intimidating.

As a taxpayer, I would appreciate it if this black color was replaced by a more optimistic color: like green, orange, white.

Anything but black with dark tinted windows and excessive lighting. The lights are definitely way over the line. I am referring to the lights they turn on when they are pulling someone over. There are dangerous criminals out there, but come on police, most of us are law-abiding.

Isn’t a gun intimidating enough?

GLEN ELLYN – The College of DuPage Board of Trustees’ recent decision to grant school President Robert Breuder $762,000 in severance has caused public outcry and legislative action in DuPage County and across Illinois.

An estimated 400 members of the public attended a special board meeting Jan. 28 to air their grievances about the buyout.

The board voted – for the second time – to approve the severance for Breuder’s retirement. Trustees voted 6-1 in favor of the buyout, with Vice Chairwoman Kathy Hamilton as the lone dissenter.

The Jan. 28 meeting was the board’s second in less than a week to discuss the retirement package, and was called to clarify a procedural motion regarding whether the board should have formally closed debate before voting on the severance during the first meeting Jan. 22.

In the end, the vote remained the same, with trustees approving an addendum to Breuder’s contract allowing him to retire March 31, 2016 – three years earlier than anticipated.

In addition, Breuder will receive a $762,867.77 lump sum payment, according to the board-approved contract provisions. The college also will name its new Homeland Security Education Center after him.

Trustees indicated their hands were tied on the buyout because of how previous boards had structured Breuder’s contract.

“In an ideal world, we wouldn’t have severance packages. But we do have a contract that, if we end the contract, we owe him the balance of the contract,” said Trustee Kim Savage.

Chairwoman Erin Birt said the

Next meeting The College of DuPage Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet again Feb. 19. board quantified 1.5 years of Breuder’s salary and benefits when coming to an agreement on the amount of money for the severance pay.

“I think every single person around this table worked very hard at this,” Birt said.

That didn’t stop the public from attending the meeting in droves to voice their disapproval. In all, about 400 people came, with 75 speaking during a public comment session that ran more than three hours.

Adam Andrzejewski – founder of Elmhurst-based watchdog group For The Good of Illinois, which has been working to make details of Breuder’s contract public – said the board violated state law by not providing contract specifics to taxpayers prior to voting Jan. 22.

“This board admits that it secretly negotiated Dr. Breuder’s severance agreement for nine months, then didn’t recite the details into the record before last Thursday’s public vote,” he said.

“That violated the Open Meetings Act.” Andrzejewski and Edgar County

It may look like ballet, but it’s not.

Barre fitness classes are ballet-inspired, and incorporate a ballet barre, plies, releves, and a pirouette or two once in awhile, but barre classes also mix elements of Pilates, dance, yoga and functional training, in order to provide a great workout. The moves are choreographed to motivating music, making the class fun. Every energizing class uses the ballet barre and exercise equipment to sculpt, slim and stretch your entire body.

Benefits to making barre class part of your fitness routine are abundant.

Small, highly controlled movements supervised by an expert teacher reduce pressure on your joints, tendons, ligaments and spine while working your whole body from head to toe. These isometric repetitive movements fatigue small and large muscles to the point of

exhaustion, while improving your flexibility and strength.

No experience is required and all can attend. Whether you are pregnant, have an injury or you are just worried about not having any dance training, rest assured that professional, highly trained instructors will guide you through the movements and offer helpful feedback, including alignment corrections, so you get the most out of the class, regardless of your level of experience.

Renowned barre fitness teacher, Tammi Sengpiel has taught many types of fitness programs, from years of personal training and Pilates, to earning her black belt in Tae Kwon Do,. She believes barre fitness is the fastest and most effective way to change your body with least amount of risk for injury.

“With barre fitness, I see and feel the sculpting to my body with every class, my flexibility, body tone and balance have never been better.”

Watchdogs have filed suit against the college for the alleged violation.

Mary Kranz, a former trustee at the college who served from 1995 to 2001, urged the board not to vote for the severance pay because of what it would do to the community.

“The taxpayers of DuPage County cannot afford this tax burden,” she said.

West Chicago resident Louise Handel, who is an alumna of the college, said she didn’t like that the trustees shifted the blame.

“I’m kind of offended and insulted when I hear board members blame previous boards,” she said. “You don’t just get to say, ‘Pass, that wasn’t me.’”

State legislators even took time to address the trustees. Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, told the board politicians in Springfield are already talking about what’s going on at the college.

“What you have done as a board contributes to the bad reputation Illinois has with corruption,” she said.

After the board’s meeting Jan. 22, Ives announced she would ask the state Auditor General to audit the state funding the college has received during the last three fiscal years. She said she wouldn’t hesitate pulling $762,000 from the college’s state funding as a result of Breuder’s buyout.

Any questions concerning the content of this page should be directed to the phone number referenced in the article. If a number is not listed in the article, please call the Community Response Center at 1.630.434.CALL (2255).

Meeting dates, times, locations and agendas are subject to change.

Check the Village website at www.downers.us and DGTV Channel 6 for the most current meeting information.

WATER METER READING DEVICE PROJECT

VILLAGE ANNUAL REPORT Mayor Tully will deliver the Annual Report at the Council meeting on February 10, 2015. The report will highlight significant activities and accomplishments of 2014.

The Village has begun a 12-month process of replacing the transmission units that send water meter readings from residential and business customer meters to the Village for water billing. The original transmission units, known as MTUs, were installed in 2002 and are beginning to fail. Nearly all of the 16,700 MTUs are located on the outside of customer homes or buildings.

GARBAGE COLLECTION Garbage collection will be delayed by one day this week due to the winter storm.

This will allow the waste hauler to ensure driver safety and also minimize disruption to the Village's continuing snow removal efforts.

RX DRUG DISPOSAL PROGRAM The Downers Grove Police Department Prescription Drug Disposal Program provides residents with a way to safely dispose of old prescription medications. This program is by appointment only.

To take advantage of this free service, contact the program coordinator for an appointment: Mary Wennerstrom Drug Disposal Coordinator (630)-434-5681 mwennerstrom@downers.us Residents who are unable to drop off their medications may request a Crime Prevention Officer to come to their home for collection.

Improper disposal of medications can pollute drinking water with toxic chemicals. Storing unused medications can pose other safety issues. It is estimated that each day 2500 teenagers get high for the first time on unused drugs they find in medicine cabinets at home or at their grandparents’ homes.

There are also incidents of accidental ingestion of these medications by children, the elderly, and pets.

The medications will subsequently be disposed of using the protocols followed for disposing of drugs held in evidence.

The Village's vendor, Aclara, and their contractor Scope Services, will remove the existing MTUs and install the new ones at each building over the course of 2015. There will not be service or billing disruptions when the units are replaced.

Water customers (residents and businesses) will be notified when work is planned to occur in their area. Scope will call customers twice: two weeks prior to the scheduled replacement and two days prior to the installation.

Most MTU replacements will take less than 30 minutes and will occur entirely on the exterior of the building, with the same exterior placement as the existing MTU. For locations where the MTU is inside a home or building, Scope will make an appointment with the customer to access the unit.

Scope will maintain a customer service line, 1-888-209-5075, to respond to inquiries from residents and businesses. Customers may also contact the Village with questions.

Village Council meetings are held the first, second, and third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Council Chambers at 801 Burlington Avenue.

Village Council meetings are broadcast live on DGTV-Ch. 6. The rebroadcast of these meetings can be seen Wednesday mornings at 9:00 a.m. and Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m.

Live radio broadcasts of Council meetings can only be heard at 7:00 p.m. the first and third Tuesday of the month on WDGC-FM, 88.3.

There is no charge for this service.

Podcast and live streaming coverage of Council meetings are also available at www.downers.us.

Downers Grove North’s Devin Blake goes up for a shot Saturday during a conference game against Lyons Township. The Trojans lost to the Lions 63-41.

Proviso West snaps Trojans’ winning streak

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Riding an eightgame winning streak, spirits were high within the Downers Grove North boys basketball team entering the weekend.

But back-to-back double-digit losses to conference opponents Friday and Saturday may have stopped the team’s momentum.

On Friday, Proviso West beat the Trojans 56-45. A day later, Lyons Township knocked off DGN 63-41. Both Proviso West and LT completed season sweeps of the Trojans in West Suburban Silver action.

“We haven’t beaten anybody on the road of this caliber, so we haven’t really accomplished the things that we could accomplish at the beginning of

game against Lyons Township, which now holds the lead in the conference, but gave up the next seven and trailed 19-16 after a quarter. Jordon Kedrowski Downers Grove North 41, scored 10 points in the quarter and finLyons Township 63 ished with a team-high 13 points.

The Lions closed the second quarter DGN LEADER on a 10-2 run to take a 34-22 lead into half■ Jordon Kedrowski: 13 points time. LT expanded the lead to 21 points after three quarters and never looked back.

both teams in the sectional.”

As DGN heads into the final month of the regular season, the Trojans are hoping to play their best in the postseason. In the Aurora East sectional, DGN is grouped with five West Suburban Silver opponents, district rival Downers Grove South, who the Trojans host Saturday, and other quality teams like West Aurora and Benet.

The biggest disappointment from the weekend’s results was that the Trojans played both Proviso West and Lyons Township closer in earlier meetings this season. Both of those losses in December were by seven points or less.

“We played poor defense,” Thomas said. “We couldn’t guard their best players again after they had 50 at our place, so we haven’t gotten much better since the last time we played them.”

Why Green was selected:

Downers Grove South 47, Proviso East 52 DGS TOP SCORERS ■ Ava Porlier: 15 points ■ Vashae Easley: 12 points The Mustangs continued to attack Proviso East’s two-three zone defense in the final frame, surging to a threepoint lead when DGS guard Vashae Easley nailed a 3 then converted a layup on consecutive possessions with less than five minutes to play.

However, the Mustangs could not match the final Proviso East run, and the visitors left with a 52-47 victory.

Porlier led Downers Grove South with 15 points while Easley added 12.

“We played our butts off in the second half, unfortunately we just came up a little short,” Long said. “We thought this would be a really good game and it was. But it’s over now and we need to focus on securing second place in our conference.”

DGS did not have much time to lament the loss, resuming conference play Saturday with a convincing 5442 win against Addison Trail. The Mustangs can wrap up a second-place finish in the West Suburban Gold with victories against Morton and Hinsdale South before the crosstown game against Downers Grove North on Friday.

Downers Grove North leading scorer Jaida Green verbally committed to play basketball at Penn State University.

After a weekend visit to Happy Valley, Trojans swing forward Jaida Green announced she will join the Penn State women’s basketball team for the 2016-17 school year. Through 20 games this season, Green has averaged 17.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Green, the Sears Hardware & Appliance Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life Sports Editor Alex Soulier about her decision to attend Penn State.

Soulier: When did you know that Penn State was the school for you?

Green: I visited Penn State last

weekend [Jan. 24]. Going into the trip, I already really liked the school.

But after meeting the coaching staff, watching a game and staying with some of the girls, I fell in love with the school. So I made my decision when I came back the following Monday.

Soulier: You were being recruited by a number of schools. What set Penn State apart from the rest?

Green: Head coach Coquese Washington and her staff are phenomenal, the facilities are amazing, and there is a great support system and community there. I can tell it’s the right place for me.

Soulier: What specifically about the coaches, program or team excites you?

Green: I think I am going to fit nicely

into their offense; they are a quick team that likes to get up and down the court, and that’s my favorite way to play. They need an outside shooter, so I think I can make an immediate impact. But the coaches want to challenge me to improve in all aspects of my game.

Soulier: Are you a little relieved to get the recruiting process out of the way and just focus on basketball?

Green: The whole a process has

been a fun experience. Being recruited heavily is a good problem to have, but it is a little stressful. So it feels really good to come to a decision and now be able to completely focus my attention to basketball and my team.

DOWNERS GROVE – For 30 minutes, the Downers Grove South girls basketball team was stride for stride with conference leading Proviso East.

But costly turnovers and a inefficient rebounding turned the tide toward the Pirates in the final minutes of Friday’s West Suburban Gold showdown as Downers Grove South fell 52-47. It was Proviso East’s third victory of the season against the Mustangs, who fell two games behind the undefeated conference leaders.

“We played really well, I thought we played a great team game, unfortunately we couldn’t come up with the win,” Downers Grove South head coach Lyndsie Long said.

“In the first half, we gave them too many second chance opportunities,” Long said. “We stressed that they are a good rebounding team and they can rebound the ball.”

The Mustangs hit their first three shots of the game en route to a 16-13 lead at the end of the first quarter. But Proviso East took advantage of several offensive rebounds and high-percentage shots, taking a 29-23 lead into the locker room.

DGS opened the second half with a 6-2 run, and a pair of Ava Porlier free throws knotted the game at 34 with three minutes left in the third quarter.
