DOWNERS GROVE – Standing in the third floor of Gustav Bunge’s former home, it’s not hard to imagine the historic Downers Grove figure looking out the window to see his Tivoli Theatre rise one brick at a time. The window still provides a view of the back of the landmark theatre built by Bunge and his son, George, in 1928. Longtime owner Lea Wayne bought the property in 1991 and has restored the home to its original luster. She put the five-bedroom Bunge Mansion, 4943 Highland Ave., on the market this month at $985,000. Under the tall, cathedral ceiling of the third-floor library sits a row of theatre seats originally from the Tivoli, lined in front of a large flatscreen TV. And across the room, sit three early 20th century bottles – found in the walls during restoration. The third floor also features a bedroom and full bathroom. Throughout the home, ornate oak woodwork has been stripped down to its original hue, and the home is accented by period details like a three-dimensional stained glass window and a marble tile fireplace. Even the radiators are decorative. Bedroom doors on the second floor are topped by transom windows equipped with a unique copper lever for easy opening and closing. The home is large at more than 4,000 square feet, though perhaps not gigantic in comparison to today’s definition of a mansion. Despite its size and three

DuPage mayors: Public safety pensions unsustainable, needs reform By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Mayors from DuPage County are back after lobbying Springfield for public safety pension reform earlier this month, but they hope to keep the topic in the forefront until lawmakers enact change. Itasca Mayor and DuPage County Mayors and Managers President Jeffery Pruyn, Lisle Mayor Joesph Broda and others in the organization said police and fire pensions have become unsustainable as the unfunded portions of the funds have ballooned in the past decade. The group is looking to increase employee contributions and increase the retirement age or years of work required to receive the pension. The mayors also want to curb the yearly compounded 3 percent cost of living adjustment, which they name as the biggest culprit. “Basically, policemen retire in their early 50s, and 20 years later their pensions double,” Pruyn said. The mayors said the compounded increase is exacerbated by sweeteners added over time by Illinois lawmakers and the fact the number of retired workers are catching up with the number of current employees.

Itasca Mayor Jeff Pruyn (from left), Lisle Mayor Joe Broda and DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference Executive Director Mark Baloga meet Friday with Suburban Life Media staff members to discuss legislative issues. The result, they said, is between 2004 and 2010, municipal contributions to public safety pensions more than doubled, from $247 to $511 million, but average funding levels dropped from about 64 percent to 55 percent. As the unfunded liability grows, larger percentages of municipal property taxes

go toward paying the annual pension contribution. For example, all of Burr Ridge’s municipal property taxes now go toward paying public safety pensions, DuPage County Mayors and Managers Executive Director Mark Baloga said. Opponents to the reforms touted by the DuPage County Mayors and Managers claim floundering pension funds are not caused by workers who contributed their share but

by municipalities that underfunded the plans, poor investment returns and inflated actuarial predictions for returns. The mayors added if the legislature does not immediately reform public safety pensions, they need to at least remove a penalty provision. The provision states by 2015, municipalities must fund pensions to a level of 90 percent, amortized to 2040, or risk having local revenue garnished.

“We need to see a delay of the trigger date of that penalty provision,” Baloga said. “If they’re going to kick (reform) down the road, they need to kick the whole thing down the road.” Pruyn, Baloga and Broda met Friday with Suburban Life Media’s editorial staff to discuss pension reform and the group’s opposition to a “minimum manning” bill, which would make fire department manning levels a mandatory subject of firefighter contract arbitration proceedings. The DuPage County Mayors and Managers names both issues as 2014 legislative priorities. They resist the “minimum manning” bill because requiring a municipality to maintain a certain number of firefighters could force it to hire more than they could afford, Pruyn and Broda said. “We could end up having to cut equipment,” Broda said. “You might have the personnel but not the equipment for them to use. “We actually see it as damaging to public safety.” During the meeting with the editorial staff, Broda, Pruyn and Baloga mentioned another legislative issue – giving nonhome-rule municipalities more freedom in how they expend hotel-motel taxes. Currently, non home-rule communities only can spend their hotel-motel taxes on tourism-related expenses. The DuPage County Mayors and Managers supports a bill which would allow nonhome-rule communities to place up to 50 percent of those revenues in the general fund, and the other 50 percent or more would remain in tourism. “The village of Itasca, we have 8,700 people and 1,100 hotel rooms,” Pruyn said. “We get over $1 million a year in hotel tax which, right now, and I can’t even use to fix the street in front of the hotel.” Broda and Pruyn said even if the law was changed, they likely still would devote the majority of the funds to tourism but would benefit from the added flexibility for a portion of the funds. “I’d be foolish if I used 50 percent ... for general revenue when I’ve got three hotels. I want to keep them turning,” Broda said.

EATING DISORDERS Q: Can eating disorders have an impact on oral health? A: Yes, an eating disorder can affect your oral health. In fact, a dentist is sometimes the first health-care provider to recognize the signs of an eating disorder in a patient. Here’s why: Bulimia and anorexia nervosa are two of the most common eating disorders. While these conditions can occur in males, they are most common in adolescent girls and those in their 20s. Bulimia involves binge eating and purging by forced vomiting. Anorexia is an abnormal fear of getting fat and leads to poor eating habits. A person with anorexia nervosa will push herself to a state of malnutrition by not eating or by using laxatives. The stomach acid generated by a bulimic in the act of vomiting can erode teeth. The heavy pattern of consistent vomiting practiced by a bulimic will have a noticeable effect on teeth; specifically, it will leave them worn and yellow Obviously, the more serious danger with the conditions of bulimia and anorexia nervosa is the impact either can have on a person’s general health.

Puffer student council debuts first Community Art Fair SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

DOWNERS GROVE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Henry Puffer student council hosted the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Community Art Fair from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday. The fair benefited two charitable organizations, and the public was invited to attend. The entire school has been contributing milk jug lids for two large-scale murals since December, and the student council began assembling the murals earlier this month, according to a news release. Art teacher Sarah David sketched the designs, and the students added the multicolored lids with help from student council sponsor Katie Hurckes. The murals were auctioned off during the art fair. Additionally, each student created pendants that were on sale at the fair, along with pieces by the photography and cartooning clubs.

Poor service leads D-99 to switch busing companies By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shammedia.com

The board voted April 21 to accept a bid from First Student, the only other company to bid other than Westway. Westway also provides busing to Downers Grove School District 58 and Woodridge Elementary School District 68, and those two districts also are expected to switch to First Student, Staehlin said.

location and approximately 90 to 100 vehicles and drivers in a three- to four-month period. That is very hard to accomplish.” In bidding this month, Westway’s three-year bid of $5.714 million was less than First Student’s bid of $5.755 million, but Staehlin said contracts for student transportation are not required by law to be awarded to the lowest bidder. The new contract with First Student is about $400,000 more than the current contract with Westway, but Staehlin said the district hopes to reduce that number to $250,000 through route efficiencies. “This is a large and unexpected increase,” he wrote to the board. “However, the late notification by Westway that they would not honor the current contract terms places us in a position that we need to secure a contractor for next year immediately or face the possibility of not having adequate bus services in place at the start of the next school year.”

pany used by the district prior to Westway. Board member Keith Matune asked if the district believes whatever issues led it to leave First Student three years ago would return. “The service we received from First Student was not perfect, but it’s not so bad,” Staehlin replied. He added that First Student touted routing systems that should improve its performance. “If nothing else we’re committed to working with them to make sure we don’t have substandard service,” Staehlin said. He said the fact that First Student still has property in the district that it can use as a bus terminal was a plus. “The very late notice that Westway would not honor the existing contract left us in a precarious position,” he wrote in a memo to the board. “Bidding this service out in April would require a replacement vendor to secure a terminal

The District 99 School Board voted unanimously April 21 to switch school bus companies next year following what was described as poor service. “We’ve experienced some very bad service,” District 99 Controller Mark Staehlin told the board April 21. “We’ve had administrators who’ve devoted full days to deal with parents who were irate about busing. It’s never been this bad.” The district is in its third year of a five-year contract with the current provider, Westway Inc. Staehlin said issues began the first year with Westway but he did not provide specifics. He said service improved last year but problems returned this school year. Westway chose to opt out of the final two years of the current contract and reopen it for bidding this spring because the current contract only al-

n LAST WEEK’S WEB POLL QUESTION: What kind of business do you most frequent in your town?

40 PERCENT: Restaurants 30 PERCENT: Retail (shopping) 20 PERCENT: Bars 10 PERCENT: Service (salons, spas)

Bridge Communities debuts A Chair Affair along with 20 artists Question: What do you get when you combine 20 local artists, 20 chairs and a caring community? Answer: A transformational art experience for everyone. This spring, Bridge Communities debuts A Chair Affair, a celebration of art and its restorative powers. We partnered with 20 DuPage County artists – and in many cases, COMMUNITY they’re award-winning and VOICE nationally-renowned artists – Lisa who were given the creative Doyle challenge of taking a secondhand chair, stool or bench, and transforming it into an entirely new piece of art. The recreated masterpieces will be displayed in several storefronts throughout downtown Naperville from May 27 to June 11, when shoppers and community members will be able to vote for their favorite chair online. Then, you can join us and the artists June 12 at a gala event at North Central College’s Wentz Hall, featuring an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, and both silent and live auctions. Proceeds from the chairs will benefit homeless families in DuPage County served by Bridge Communities. Special events are always fun for us, but what makes this one even better is the sheer spirit of community we’re seeing as people get involved. We have a piece coming from the Women’s Wisdom art therapy class of People’s Resource Center, a chair reimagined by all the women in the class working together. Another chair, inspired by the city of Naperville, is titled “This Town Rocks!” The best part of A Chair Affair is what it is at its heart – an art experience that’s both by the community and for the community. Each of these one-of-a-kind masterpieces have genuine meaning behind them, as they were all made in honor of, and to benefit, the 109 homeless families Bridge serves each year. They’re families that weren’t perfect; families that went through difficult times; families that might have been a little broken and bruised. And thanks to a caring community, they’re families that are repaired, transformed, and discovering beauty and strength again. Buy your ticket now and join us for an exciting night of creativity — it’ll truly be “an affair to remember.” To get your ticket and vote for your favorite chair, visit www.bridgecommunities.org.

8OUR VIEW

State officials should listen to DuPage mayors’ priorities When mayors Joseph Broda of Lisle and Jeff Pruyn of Itasca stopped by the Suburban Life Media newsroom Friday to talk about legislative priorities for 2014, there was one common thread across all topics – Springfield’s apparent reluctance to take action on local issues. And these aren’t just any issues – these are the ones where new state laws are required for any change to take place. Broda and Pruyn were visiting in their roles as representatives of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, a group that travels to Springfield periodically to talk with legislators about how state-level matters affect local municipalities. Their top priorities were: • The need for the Legislature to reform public safety pensions. While Illinois took action to reform four statewide pension systems in 2013, and received a lot of attention for doing so, the local public safety pensions – think police and firefighters – were left untouched. While the state pension systems ran aground in part because of the state’s failure to fully fund them, local municipalities that have made their required payments find themselves falling behind anyway as the formulas for determining how much needs to be contributed change – for instance, as life expectancies for pension recipients rise. • Opposing House Bill 5485, which would make minimum manning a mandatory topic for discussion in collective bargaining with firefighters’ unions. There’s nothing currently to

stop a union from raising the topic of how many firefighters are hired in a given department, but there’s nothing requiring a municipality to meet any such requests. Cities and villages, the mayors said, consider staffing levels as part of their entire budgeting process – if this bill passes, they could be forced by arbitration to hire more firefighters than they can afford, thereby reducing governmental services elsewhere. The common element in these and other issues? Most local governments work hard to be responsible when it comes to managing taxpayers’ money, but they feel that too often their hands are tied by state laws that require spending beyond what actually is needed. A bill such as the minimum manning proposal sounds well-intentioned but given that federal guidelines already dictate the number of firefighters for each truck, it does seem counterproductive to start adding extra requirements that could lead to more spending without any benefit to residents. It’s bad enough that Illinois has put itself in dire straits financially, and admirable that Springfield is trying to dig itself out through measures like pension reform for state employees. But we can’t forget that local governments are laboring under restrictions that force them to waste dollars they’d rather spend responsibly. Springfield needs to act on these proposals so that our local officials can do the jobs we’ve elected them to do.

8STREET TALK Q: Do you think the Blackhawks will win the Stanley Cup again this year? “I do think so, I think they have the heart for it.”

Foxes, fence builders will benefit from chickens

According to the Suburban Life, if the Downers Grove Village Council approves the new backyard chickens ordinance, the new setback for chicken coops will only be 7 feet from property lines instead of the current 50-foot requirement. All neighbors would also have to give an OK and the $84 dollar permit would last five years before all neighbors would have to consent again. I feel few neighbors want to disagree, regardless of their desire for farm animals next door. The winners here will be foxes, raccoons and fence contractors, once chickens can be kept in virtually any neighborhood in the village. Expect that lots of high fences will be built and tight-lipped neighbors and Realtors will be torn between full disclosure and mums the word.

Resident hopes village will study chicken issue

Many schools and daycare providers have regulations prohibiting most mammals and birds from being kept in classrooms in areas where casual contact in proximity with children could lead to airborne or contact-spread parasites or micro-organisms. As the village of Downers Grove moves to reduce barriers to residential backyard chicken keeping, one hopes health and liability analyses have been carried out to be sure that fresh avenues for the spread of disease will not be opened.

Responding to Westmont’s brush pick-up costs I’m calling concerning the article in the Suburban Life concerning Westmont’s new brush-pickup program. I was quite surprised to see this and actually disappointed in the town of Westmont. I do know that they just purchased last year a brand new chipper and a brand new chipper truck specifically for picking up brush in the village itself, which residents pay for. Also, what it doesn’t mention in the article that I’m very concerned about; if waste management is picking up brush on a basis that coincides with garbage pickup, who’s paying the additional bill for this service, which Westmont is eliminating by doing themselves? I’m sure we’re going to have another increase in our garbage pickup fee, and it’s not listed here. I am very concerned. I believe what should happen is only those who have brush pickup should have to purchase a sticker or something at the village and pay for it so that we don’t all have to share its cost, which we cannot afford. Also, there are much stricter guidelines as to how the brush has to be put out. I’m concerned that some of the elderly people aren’t able to accommodate this requirement.

Glen Ellyn should better control spending

The village of Glen Ellyn announced there will be at $1.4 million shortfall in its budget. In the same breath, it approved the hiring of consultants to mock up new signage. With a deficit budget, the board decided to move forward with more spending. It’s always more surveys, more studies, more consulting fees on frivolous ideas with Glen Ellyn. Why do we bother with politicians?

I see Westmont is now cutting more services but raising taxes. The streets department will no longer be picking up brush instead waste management will be doing it. And there are much stricter guidelines for putting brush out. The elderly will not be able to manage. Also, I see the village is still in talks to enact a stormwater runoff fee, better known as a tax. Residents are paying enough taxes and cannot afford what we now have. No more new taxes and stop making up new taxes that the village of Westmont residents cannot afford.

ig , she worked for the phone company. George was born on February 23, 1919, in the Post Office/grocery store where his mother worked, in Chicago. His parents were Joseph F. Novak, a Czechoslovakian immigrant, and Millie nee Jilk. George Novak and LaVergne Bell married on February 5, 1943. Not long after, George served in World War II, with the United States occupation forces in Italy. He recently participated in the Honor Flight, in commemoration of his service. George worked as an engineer for Western Electric for 42 years, retiring in 1983. He received multiple patents for his design work during his career. The couple had much in common, and yet they were distinctly individual. They had two children, Donald and Janet (Tarek Husayni). They shared the love of eight grandchildren, Deanna, Lena, Jad, Maya, and Ramsey Husayni, and April, Helen and Hannah Novak. They both loved the outdoors. In their younger years, they enjoyed backwoods canoeing and camping in the northern United States and Canada. In later years, they spent their summers in a small cabin on Razorback Lake, in the north woods of Sayner, Wisconsin. LaVergne also enjoyed safaris she had taken to Africa, and decorated several walls in her Riverside, Illinois home with African memorabilia. LaVergne loved the simple life, eschewing modern technology for the art of letter-writing. She had long-time pen pals from different areas of the United States. George loved to invent things. His cabin at Razorback Lake, in Sayner, Wisconsin, was a testament to his creativity. He had a love for knowledge, and embraced technology, especially that which made it possible for him to stay in touch with his grand-children. George had four siblings, all of whom, along with their spouses, preceded him in death: Ella (Edward), Edwin (Ruth), Sylvia (James Kott), and Mildred (Harry Kopack).

Local girl receives national acclaim for museum exhibit project How to join

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Fairmount Elementary School’s fifth-grader Diana Kwak won second place this month in a national competition to design a museum exhibit, after finishing first in the state earlier in 2014. To learn how to conceptualize and design an exhibit plan, Diana and the other members of her local Children of the American Revolution society went to the Downers Grove Historical museum, where staff walked them through its exhibit on Sears kit homes. After the museum tour, Diana, 11, and her fellow society members Kellar and Cooper Lambeau brainstormed their own idea and chose “toys through the ages.” The group conceptualized their unique exhibit idea, wrote a budget and planned item procurement. Diana drew an exhibit layout on grid pa-

In designing the exhibit concept, Diana said she thought about categories of

toys that remained since the beginning of America. “They have always had some type of doll, and some type of building toy for boys,” she said. “Even in colonial

times they had little games, I know they played games with hoops and a spinning top. And then in the modern age, they’ve changed to Monopoly and board games.” She said the exhibit would also have monitors with video games to round out the timeline. The local Pierce Downers Society of the Children of the American Revolution has a few dozen members, Diana’s mom, Laura Kwak said. As a member and president of her local society, Diana has learned how to conduct meetings and participate in state and national contests such as the museum exhibit. “The state level holds a

chairmanship, so at conference she comes up and gives a report to the floor,” Laura said. “It teaches the kids public speaking, and they can run for offices. If they choose to pursue this and try to hold a national office they get sworn in at Mount Vernon in Washington, D.C. To join, children must have an ancestor who participated in the American Revolution. The Kwak family made that discovery for the first time several years ago, when Laura Kwak’s sister researched family genealogy after the death of her grandmother. Her ancestor, Pain Converse Sr. is Diana’s oldest verified patriot and has the last name of her great-great-grandmother. He lived in Connecticut during the Revolutionary War and is 12 generations back from Diana. Once children age out of the organization at 22, they can join the Sons or Daughters of the American Revolution.

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com What does living with mental illness sound like? A new album produced by local mental health nonprofit The Awakenings Project asks that question by letting a number of area artists answer it. The CD, titled “Awakenings: Songs and Poems” is filled with original music and spoken word creations by 16 contributors with mental illnesses. Though track titles such as “Focus on the Light,” “Finding Winter’s End,” “PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)” and “Crazy Cycle” seem to center on struggles with mental illness, many songs don’t directly address the common theme that brought the artists together. That’s part of the point, said producer, musician and Awakenings board member Mandy Rakow. “There is an ongoing theme for the subject matter

Copies of “Awakenings: Songs and Poems” are available online for $10, plus shipping. for anything “Awakenings” does – recovery – and I think that definitely comes through in the pieces that people chose, but some people just picked stuff that was fun and their favorite,” said Rakow, who suffers from extreme depression. “We just wanted to highlight the abilities that people with mental disabilities have.” The Awakenings Project has offered similar opportunities for more than 15 years. The Wheaton-based group began when what was supposed to be a one-time show took shape as a nonprofit. Today, the project has an annual literary magazine, an Elgin art studio and regular exhibits,

including one that opened April 25 at North Central College in Naperville. Robert Lundin, a Glen Ellyn resident, Awakenings co-founder and mental health specialist at the DuPage County Health Department, said he became interested in the idea of art as an outlet for those with mental illnesses after reading a book on the subject. “Hemingway, Van Gogh, there are dozens with mental illnesses that come to mind that achieved artistic brilliance,” he said. “I decided to put it out there and see how good of artists we could find.” By celebrating the music, art and stories of those with mental illnesses, their talent is the focus, instead of their oft stigmatized conditions. “We hoped with ‘Awakenings’ to give some people ... the identification of ‘artist’ or ‘writer’ or ‘musician,’ ” he said.

DOWNERS GROVE – District 58’s school nurses now can screen students for potential vision issues more quickly and easily thanks to the Downers Grove Lions Club, which recently donated $2,500 to help cover the cost of two Optic 5000 Vision Screeners, according to a press release from District 58. Last year, two of District 58’s school nurses, Susan Donahue and Ann Brinkman, spoke with the Lions Club about the screenings that take place in District 58 and showed club members the machines that are used. At that time, District 58 had six machines that were shared among its 13 schools, which meant precious time was wasted as the machines were transported from one building to another and then had to be powered up and often re-calibrated before they could be used for screenings. Club member Angie Kleinfelder, a former teacher, was

immediately struck by the memory of the single vision screening machine that had been shared among all of the schools in the district where she worked. “The Lions Club was looking for additional ways to support and partner with the Downers Grove community, and this sounded like a perfect project for the club to take on to benefit the schools,” she said. The club donated the money in late March, and the two new machines were delivered not long after. One of the new machines will stay at Herrick Middle School, and the other at O’Neill Middle School.

While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be focusing on Downers Grove Public Library cardholders, our neighboring community libraries will be offering similar programs. Throughout the summer, those Downers Grove librarians will suggest great books, spearhead programs and activities and hand out the prizes.

nlurz@shawmedia.com A DuPage County Board nominee is facing three misdemeanor charges after a domestic disturbance was reported recently in Wisconsin. Jeremy Custer, 25, of Glendale Heights has been charged with disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and resisting or obstructing an officer, according Jeremy to records from Custer the Wisconsin Court System Circuit Court Access. The Democratic candidate for County Board District 4 was arrested after midnight April 15 in Madison, Wis., Madison Police Department spokesman Joel DeSpain said. His next court date is scheduled May 27, records show. A 26-year-old woman who identified herself as Custer’s girlfriend called police shortly after the couple had a fight, DeSpain said. Custer allegedly knocked over a bookshelf and was yelling.

“She did not allege that he did anything physical to her,” DeSpain said. “She was frightened, so she called the police.” DeSpain said Custer allegedly did not “overly resist, but did resist a little bit” and therefore was charged with obstruction. “I regret that this incident occurred, but my girlfriend and I are committed to one another and are moving forward, together,” Custer said in an email to Suburban Life. “We are looking forward to putting this personal matter behind us.” Custer added he would remain in the race for District 4 and the event would “not diminish (his) ability to serve the working families and businesses of the 4th District.” The chief of staff for state Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, Custer defeated M. Moon Khan in the Democratic primary last month. He now is facing incumbent Republican Grant Eckhoff, who recently beat three challengers to retain his spot on the ballot for the November general election. District 4 primarily encompasses portions of Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Glendale Heights and Lombard.

Chairwoman Julie Johnson said in the release. For the past five decades, the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club has awarded scholarships to outstanding students working toward bachelor’s or graduate degrees. This year, the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club partnered with three corporate sponsors on the effort including Baird & Warner Real Estate in Downers Grove, Momkus McCluskey Attorneys at Law in Lisle and ValueKnowledge in Chicago. Each matched a $500 donation allowing the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club to offer three $1,000 scholarships, as well as two $500 scholarships. The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club is a nonpartisan, nondenominational, volunteer women’s organization. For information about the club, visit dgjwc.org.

Restaurant reviews

Adventure beckons at HB Jones in Elmhurst ELMHURST – As I ap proached HB Jones, I only had one goal in mind: to climb Mount Everest. Let me explain. My research into the Elm hurst restaurant called HB Jones, aka Hamburger Jones, started last month. Normally, I rarely research an unfamil iar restaurant beforehand, other than to see if there’s a dress code, but the stories surrounding HB Jones and its menu are as entertaining as the eatery itself. A backstory has been cre ated around the adventures of fictional character Horatio B. Jones. One tale has him de scending Mount Everest until his expedition is snowed in, and then credits his “unyield ing hunger for his favorite food” for inspiring his trek to safety. Back at base camp, he was rewarded with a burger of “Everest proportions.” For my adventure, I checked the online menu and went to the burger section where I saw the “Jones Climbs Everest” burger – three 10ounce patties, cheeses and an array of toppings, accompanied by fries. This was the burger waiting for Jones after he returned, and if I finished one, I would get my name on the wall and a Tshirt. At that moment, it became my goal to consume that burg er and make the metaphorical climb. As I walked in with hunger on my side, the first thing I noticed was the atypical set ting. The restaurant features a greenhousestyle section, where light floods through walls of windows to turn the expansive dining area into a creatively inviting space. The restaurant is replete with big screen TVs and colorful decor touches. As staff escorted us to a table, I started having second thoughts about my contem plated burger challenge, when I saw the copious amounts of food others were enjoying. It wasn’t just the burgers, but the sandwiches, too, that

More than 20 sauces provide tantalizing options to shake up flavor profiles. Beyond meatdominated dishes including ribs, the restaurant has a variety of choices, such as a salad bar, complemented by an array of craft beer and draft op tions. The connecting pub

room whips up cocktails and milkshakes. One almost gave me brain freeze, because I couldn’t put down the rich vanilla concoction. After the last slurp, I knew I wouldn’t make the summit of Everest on this visit – mostly because I couldn’t pass up an appetizer and shake. For add ed decadence, the menu also highlights shakes fortified with rum.

To see more photos from HB Jones, find this story online at PlanitLife.com/mysterydiner I started with the zesty chicken strip appetizer, and then ordered the “Country Road to a Coronary” burger, a tasty melding of melted ched dar and juicy beef amped up by the creamy yolk of a sunny sideup egg. I couldn’t resist picking mac and cheese as a satisfying side dish, which helped push the summit just out of reach.

Meanwhile, my mom worked on her British burger, named for crisscrossed bacon strips meant to resemble the Union Jack flag, and com mented that the meat was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of bacon. We fin ished off the meal with a piece of killer chocolate cake. The enthusiastic friendli ness of the staff and the warm atmosphere make it a fun destination. Not only do I suggest you check out HB Jones for the addictive comfort food, I vow to return by this summer to try for the Everest burger, and claim that Tshirt and my name on the wall as “Mr. E. Dyner” with all the glory that goes with it. I could also go for another milkshake.

DGS claims title at own volleyball invite By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – With the ball floating in mid-air toward him, there was only one thing on Mike Schmitt’s mind. “Get the pass and put it down,” Schmitt said. “Swing deep and let it fly.” Schmitt’s kill on match point secured Downers Grove South’s win against Lake Park in the championship match of South’s own Mustang Invitational boys volleyball tournament Saturday. “One of our team goals is to go undefeated at home, so we saw this as an opportunity to continue that,” Schmitt said. Not only did the Mustangs, who improved to 19-4 overall with a 5-0 run at the tourney, protect their home court, they also claimed their first title at their invite. “I’ve been a coach in the program for a while, and I don’t think we’ve ever won it,” head coach Kurt Steuer said. “It feels great. Every time we play at home we talk about protecting our home court, and that’s what we did today.” A Lake Park error late in the third set put South ahead 23-20, but the Lancers scored the next two points on a pair of DGS miscues. Schmitt’s kill made it 24-22, and after another Mustang error, he finished off the tournament run with an emphatic swing for the win. The Mustangs also started the tournament in fine fashion with a two-set win against Downers Grove North. Schmitt tallied seven kills, Will Tischler added five kills, Tyler Zowaski had 10 digs and Jordan Pawlicki dished out

Downers Grove South’s Daniel Hansen winds up for a hit in a match Friday against Downers Grove North at South’s Mustang Invitational. The Mustangs won the match and went on to win the tournament title.

Downers Grove South invitational DGS SCORES • DGS vs. Downers Grove North: Won 25-12, 25-23 • DGS vs. Fenton: Won 25-9, 25-5 • DGS vs. Maine South: Won 2521, 25-21 • DGS vs. Loyola: Won 19-25, 2516, 25- 17 • DGS vs. Lake Park: Won 27-25, 22-25, 25-23

18 assists and had four aces against the Trojans. South also won a crosstown clash against North earlier in the season. “I feel like we knew how to match up with them [DGN],” Pawlicki said. “We ran our hitters and got some big kills that kind of got the team going. We fed off the energy of each other.” The Trojans bounced back from their loss against South with a pool play win against Fenton. They went on to finish the tourney with a 3-2 record and a fifth-place showing in the silver bracket after defeating Willowbrook 25-19, 23-25, 25-21 in their final match. “We faced the eventual champ in the first round, which was tough,” North head coach Mark Wasik said. “We were so down and out after the served us off the court, but we learned from that match. I think we learned to stay evenkeeled no matter who was across the net.” Wasik said Mike Mierzwa, Liam Reidy and Tom Sarver had strong showings throughout the tournament, during which North improved to 10-9 overall.

“One of our team goals is to go undefeated at home, so we saw this as an opportunity to continue that.” Mike Schmitt Downers Grove volleyball player

Suburban Life ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Downers Grove South Senior | Volleyball Why Pawlicki was selected: Pawlicki played a key role for the Mustangs as they won the title at their own tournament over the weekend. Downers Grove South’s boys volleyball team finished on top last year, but even that team wasn’t able to do what this year’s team did – win the title at South’s own Mustang Invitational. Setter Jordan Pawlicki helped South to the title with his ability to run the offense and serve efficiently. During a match against Fenton, the Marymount University recruit served five aces in one rotation, and he dished out 41 assists in the championship match. Pawlicki, the Sears Appliance and Hardware Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about this year’s team and the key to serving an ace.

How does this year’s team compare to last year’s team at this point in the season? We lost a lot of firepower

from last year, but this year I feel like we have great team chemistry again like we always do. We have guys that want to play and want to win and do the same thing again.

What’s the key to an ace?

Basically the key is to get the passers outside their stance and try and move them around. It’s not always about hitting it hard but about [serving] the seams of the other team so that there’s more of a chance of them shanking it than returning it.

Do you like setting a big point or getting an ace more?

I’m all about assists, so I like setting up my big hitters like Mike [Schmidt] and Will [Tischler] to put the ball away. It gets the team more excited so I like doing that.

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

When the Illinois High School Association introduced changes to preseason football practice in May of 2013 in hopes of making the sport safer, some local coaches predicted that was just the beginning. Turns out they were right. Last week, the IHSA announced that a by-law which eliminates full pads and full contact (full contact is defined as football drills or game situations where live action occurs) during the 25 days of summer camp passed by a 170-87 vote by principals and athletic directors from across the state. Practices with helmets and shoulder pads also will now be limited to 14 hours a week and a maximum of 15 out of the 25 days of the summer. “We believe this revision minimizes risk to football student-athletes while allowing for the teaching of appropriate fundamentals,” IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman said on the IHSA website. “This is another important step in making highschool football as safe as possible while putting all of our schools on an even playing field regarding football activities during the summer.” Although the IHSA changed the rules regarding summer practice, the move

“It’s not going to effect us at all. We never put kids in full pads. We’ve always done air drills [without tackling], but in the summer we’ve never gone to the ground. Mark Molinari Downers Grove South head coach

won’t change the way most coaches do things during the summer. “It’s not going to effect us at all,” Downers Grove South head coach Mark Molinari said. “We never put kids in full pads. We’ve always done air drills [without tackling], but in the summer we’ve never gone to the ground. “I think a lot of high schools did full pads, but I don’t know how many did full contact. Some teams might be upset about it, but for us, I think we’ll be all right.” While Molinari said the change won’t effect his team’s practice routine and he’s all for player safety, he also did play devil’s advocate on the other side of the issue. “I think kids are safer with full pads on, so if you’re not doing full contact and going to the ground, then what is the issue?” he said. “But we’ll follow the rules and do things as we’re supposed to do them.” Paul Parpet, Addison

Trail’s longtime coach, an assistant at Downers Grove North the last four seasons and Lisle’s head coach starting this summer, had nothing but positive comments about the new rule. “I think it’s a smart move,” Parpet said. “The summer starts June 10, and you could potentially have kids in full pads going full speed right away. Something had to be done. I think it’s a good idea.” Parpet said he never went full tilt during his tenure at AT, and while he was at DGN, the Trojans never did any full-contact drills in the summer. The new rules won’t impact his first season with Lisle. “It’s not going to effect things one bit,” he said. “I remember the days when in the summer you couldn’t have any pads, not even helmets, and we survived.”
