Village eyes new buildings, more development By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – A two-phase plan that would move the Downers Grove police department, fleet management and Firehouse No. 1 to new facilities on Ogden Avenue, build a new Village Hall downtown and incorporate private redevelopment at both locations appears to be the preferred course for the majority of village commissioners following a Sept. 9 meeting. The plan was met with skepticism from several Downers Grove residents who spoke at the meeting, along with general inquisitiveness from others, and concern with tax dollars that would be needed to do the work. The planning meeting is the latest in a series to explore upgrading or building a new village hall and police department. Village officials say both buildings have outlived their useful life, are in need of new roofs, HVAC systems and other upgrades and do not meet the needs of village staff.
others who spoke at the meeting identified the current Burlington Avenue civic center as prime downtown real estate that would be better served with residential and commercial buildings. Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation Board member Don Jankowski said the committee believes upscale, transit-orientated, multifamily housing mixed with commercial would be the best use for the site. “This would be a very hot property for those types of developers,” he said. It would “attract millennials and other young professionals that are in demand by corporate headquarters and other tech-driven businesses.” The facilities that would move to Ogden Avenue and Lacey Road would sit on the rear of an undeveloped property, with commercial development on the front of the lot, and a new traffic signal at the intersection. “We think the development of commercial out-lots can generate sales tax revenue,”
Possible plans for new Village Hall, police station Officials say both buildings are out of date and inadequate – the police station is too small and Village Hall is too large. All dollar figures are in millions. Revenues refer to existing or projected revenues that could be used for the project without using new tax dollars. 1.

Jankowski said. “The proposed plan would become a significant development project for that strip of Ogden between Middaugh and Pershing (avenues).” The village bets that private development at both properties in the two-phase plan – the biggest project of the four presented options – would help offset construction expenses, bringing the public costs for the project close to the cost of simply upgrading and keeping the existing buildings. Throughout the meeting, Tully used an airplane metaphor to describe the discussion as looking at the options from 35,000-feet in the air, reiterating to residents that current talk was exploratory and intended to give direction to staff to report back with further details. “It would be very easy to call this whole project ‘new village hall,’” Tully said. “This has very little to do with village hall and much much more to do with a series of opportunities to solve a series of nagging
problems that have challenged this community for decades.” All commissioners who spoke at the meeting preferred the two-phase “option 4,” with the exception of Commissioner David Olsen, who preferred upgrading and keeping the current buildings, referred to as “option 1.” “The $14-22 million gap between the funding available and the cost of [option 4] is something that scares me,” he said. “It scares me as a representative of the residents in this community, and it scares me as a tax payer.” Residents in opposition to the plan largely cited unease with any increase in taxes it could take to complete the project. “Option 1 is most desirable to me for many reasons,” said resident and Downers Grove Township Clerk Laura Hois. “I’ve talked to people doorto-door for a long time, and I hear people saying they need to move away because their taxes are getting too high and they can’t stay in their home.” One resident said moving the police station from the center of town to the northwest would make it less accessible to residents.

Chamber630 awards celebrate business excellence By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove and Woodridge business communities converged on the Tivoli Theatre on Sept. 10 for the first Chamber630 Awards. The two villages’ chambers of commerce merged this year to create the new, bigger entity and similarly combined its separate annual awards into one event last week. “It was the first time we had it at the Tivoli Theatre,” said Chamber630 President and CEO Laura Crawford. “Seeing the Chamber630 Awards ceremony on the marquee added to the excitement. We really changed things up from how it had ever been in Woodridge and really changed things up from how it had been in Downers Grove as well. It made it a whole new event.” This year’s lifetime achievement award went to Ed and Barb Wysocki, both longtime volunteers in the Downers Grove area who have belonged to several boards and foundations. “There’s a laundry list of the organizations that they have volunteered for, the boards they have served on,” Crawford said. Ed has been a chamber member for 31 years, she said,

“All [the winners] were very committed to the community,” she said. “That jumped out, on many levels.” Crawford said based on feedback from attendees this year, they want to continue on the same path next year and continue to grow the event, and hope to return to the Tivoli gain next year.

Film production workshops coming to Downers Grove library Libraries are places for creation as well as places for learning. For centuries, people have come to libraries to read books. And some people have come to write books. For the past 20 years or so, people have come to libraries to borrow and view movies. And now, high school students in Downers Grove can come to the Downers Grove Public Library to make movies. COMMUNITY Yes, that’s correct. The VOICE brand-new digital media Rick lab and training room at Ashton the Downers Grove Public Library will be the site for our first-ever film production workshops. With the help of a community grant from the Best Buy Children’s Foundation, we will offer View from the Director’s Chair, an eight-session training course designed to prepare students to create their own documentary films, all the way from concept to editing. The instructor for the course is Laura Zinger, a successful Chicago-based independent documentary film producer. The sessions, employing the newest and best in equipment and software will cover a lot of ground: cinema history, camera basics, interviewing, video editing, to mention only some parts of the territory. The sessions will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Mondays, beginning Nov. 3 and continuing through Dec. 22. Following completion of the course, students will have two continuing opportunities. First, they will be badged to certify that they are qualified to use the equipment and the facility for their movie making. The movies they make will be featured at the first annual Downers Grove Public Library Film Festival next year. In addition, students will be asked to share the wealth by providing four hours of skill-based training to other members of the community. This will reinforce their skills and extend the reach of our programs to more participants. As we evaluate the success of this first effort, we will look forward to further development of our media training activity. Music production and computer graphics are some of the creative skill areas we’re exploring. And while our first offerings will be limited to local high school students, we’ll eventually invite adults to join in. Applications for participation in View from the Director’s Chair are due by Oct. 1. To learn more and to apply online, visit www.dglibrary.org/teens. See you at the movies!

Downers Grove resident Mike Sale practices Sept. 5 at a disc golf course at O’Brien Park.
Thumbs up to Downers Grove native Mike Sale for using his Frisbee skills to raise money and awareness for the victims of The University of California, Santa Barbara shooting this past spring. To do so, Sale traveled Friday to the Blockhouse Disc Golf and Country Club in Spotsylvania, Va., attempting to set the Guinness Book of World Records title for most disc golf holes played in 24 hours, which currently stands at 1,929. Between a crowdfunding site, private donations and the sponsorships, he has raised more than $2,000, and money continues to trickle in.

Property tax payers living in Carol Stream have a choice for DuPage County Clerk this November. First there is Paul Hinds, who is a career politician, government worker and has served for years under County Clerk Gary King, who steps down this year. Hinds oversees the calculation of property taxes. Voting for Hinds is just like voting for King. He’s been a loyal political supporter of King for years. The other choice on the ballot for County Clerk is a 10-year government watchdog and firsttime candidate, Jean Kaczmarek. As a citizen, Kaczmarek has had a positive impact on DuPage County. She objects to the clerk’s salary – by far the highest in the state for this position – for the least amount of responsibility. Check them both out. Choose well this November.

Bicyclists should know, follow rules of the road
I am calling regarding bike riders. I think they should learn how to obey traffic signals and to obey when cars are already turning. Someone again got hit on Berkley Avenue off the Prairie Path [in Elmhurst] because the driver was turning and the guy on the bike path cut him off and got hit. They’re supposed to be as courteous as drivers are. I whole-heartedly don’t understand why us drivers have to stop because they’re going over the Prairie Path. I too am a bicyclist and I am very courteous. The bikers need to watch how they ride.

In response to the question asking how hair stylists should be tipped: It depends on the cost of the service. I charge $70 for a woman’s haircut; if I repeatedly received a measly $5 tip, I would absolutely not continue giving them exceptional service (like fitting them into a tight schedule during the holidays). Hair stylists should be tipped according to their prices, it should be at least 18 to 20 percent gratuity for good service. The stylist’s prices are generally based on skill level and their education. Just remember when you tip well, your stylist will bend over backwards for you.

Potential developers open to discuss moving Edward’s House By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Developers looking to build condominiums at the Edwards House site aim to file planning documents with the village by next week, their attorney David Sosin said. The development team is considering a plan to build 56 luxury condo units in a five-story building on two lots currently occupied by the historic Edwards House, 942 Maple Ave., and an historically insignificant home next door. The plan has been met with concern by neighbors and residents in the village who oppose the possible demolition of the 1880s Queen Anne Victorian home built by early Downers Grove banker W.H. Edwards. Sosin said the develop-
ment team spoke with the Pierce Downer’s Heritage Alliance and Downers Grove Historical Society about the possibility of moving the Edwards House. “We’re in the early sages of speaking with them,” Sosin said. “They don’t know that it’s feasible yet. You need to have a place to put it, and you have to have somewhere pretty close to make it worthwhile.” Whether it’s moved or demolished, Sosin said developers don’t envision a plan where they keep the house, and pointed to the fact that it was most recently used as office space, and resides in an area currently zoned for business, not single-family homes. In addition, the village’s comprehensive plan calls for downtown business or mixed use development at the site.
“We’ve tailored our plan to plug right into (the village’s) vision,” he said. The developer, Chuck Hannon, formed the Limited Liability Corporation named FFM-DG LLC, which has hired soil tests, traffic studies and other due diligence but has not yet closed on the property, which is still owned by a bank. Sosin said the property is slanted, so that the first level of the five-story development would be partially underground, and would house 81 parking spots. The 56 living units would fill the top four floors. Ken Lerner, chairman of the Pierce Downer Heritage Alliance, said he and others are working to collect the signatures necessary to form an Historic District on

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D. – Dr. of Audiology When many people think of a hearing aid, they think of the ones from years ago like your grandmother may have worn. It was big and bulky with wires and cords. She may have likely complained of how terrible it sounded and turned it off often. Luckily, like all fields of electronics, hearing aids have come a long way. Many are much smaller, lighter, and more comfortable. About six years ago when I lost the hearing in my right ear, hearing aid styles had begun to change. I wear a small, lightweight device that helps me hear the high frequency sounds I miss in conversations. Since that time, not only have they improved how the hearing aid performs in restaurants and crowds; but they have also added a water and dust resistant coating. My favorite advancement is the way my
hearing device connects to wireless devices (no cords needed). The wireless accessories can now connect to all different sizes and shapes of hearing aids. My patients and I are able to receive a signal wirelessly from cell phones and music MP3 devices. There is also a wireless transmitter for the television. My husband, who is co-owner of our business and also a hearing aid user, enjoys the television streamer. He not only can hear the television as if he was wearing a headset connected to it, but he can also hear others talk in the room. If I’m not interested in what he is watching, I am able to turn the television sound way down; and he can still hear it. This has been a benefit for both of us.
er’s voice right into my hearing aid. Best of all, that same microphone can be plugged into my MP3 player, computer, or tablet device. It can send the sound directly to my hearing aid, so I can hear my music or videos without taking out my hearing aid to put in ear buds or disturbing others with the sound.
My hearing aid is definitely not my grandmother’s hearing aid, and yours need not be either. Contact your trusted audiologist to My favorite new device is a small check out these new microphone that can be used to give and much improved to others at a meeting or at the end devices. of a long table to send the speak-

By Stephanie Kohl What is the Called and Gifted Program? Peggy O’Flaherty, SMG parishioner, school parent and Creating Space founder, spiritual director, speaker and writer: Pope Francis calls the world “to be true disciples.” As disciples, we embrace Christ’s love, and form ourselves through prayer and study, but our discipleship must be pointed outward. The Catherine of Siena Institute created the Called and Gifted workshops as a practical way to show us “how” to point our unique gifts out into the world. During our sacrament of baptism, we receive gifts from the Holy Spirit that are intended to be shared with others. In sharing such gifts (mercy, service, hospitality, knowledge, teaching, leadership, intercessory prayer, etc.), we become a channel of God’s love.

Father Ernie Norbeck, recognized by fostering spiritual gifts of each individual, they grow stronger in their faith, which in turn renews them to go into the community with more vigor and understanding of God’s love. Our parish is deeply rooted in our Christian values of evangelization, charity and discipleship and thus initiatives stem from those values. What will people learn from this program? O’Flaherty: 118 individuals attended the Called and Gifted Workshop in July. Eighty-six percent continued on to discern how those gifts are present in their life and how God is uniquely calling them to grow in community. That same eighty-six percent continued discernment within small Christian communities to explore how spiritual gifts differ from natural talents and how multiple charisms are used in unison. SMG is seeing the ripple effect. When individuals experience God’s loving presence, they are more fully equipped to answer Pope Francis’ call and bring more love into the world.

Maple Avenue, but did not have a time estimate for completion. “Speaking for myself only, I would say that having the Edwards House as a significant part of a historic district would be by far the best alternative,” he said in an email. “Moving the house to preserve it would be second best, but much better than losing it.” It would take 51 percent of the property owners in the proposed historic district to agree to create the distinction, which would have to be
approved by a review board and then the village council, according to village code. Once created, any building permit, moving permit or demolition permit in the district would require a certificate of appropriateness granted by the review board following a hearing. Certificates for minor exterior alterations or changes to items like fences and sheds, or to buildings not deemed historically significant, also can be issued by the village’s community development director without the board’s review. Applicants denied a certificate have 30 days to appeal to the village council.

churches and leaders bringing the issue before the council, but now if it’s a proposition they’ll have to take a vote on it,” said Pastor Scott Oberle of First Congregational United Church of Christ. “I am hopeful that they’ll get the four council positions needed to pass it. “I think there’s been a lot of things that have been alarming about the fee for (churches). The biggest and most crippling is over the course of the life of the stormwater fee I don’t think people are thinking about how much exponentially it’s increasing.” Christian Worship Center Pastor Peter Kucher, who also previously spoke at meetings urging he council to exempt not-for-profits, said he had given up on the idea, but now has some renewed optimism.
“We are excited about it,” he said. In March, the council declined to explore removing the fee for churches altogether, and instead chose to expand the cost-share program to help churches make capital improvements that would reduce their stormwater fees. At the time, Barnett voted for the cost-share program expansion, but voiced reservations that the expansion would only be available for churches and not all not-for-profits. At the meeting, Mayor Martin Tully was similarly concerned that eligibility hinges on the use of a property and not the parcel itself. The expanded program provides $200,000 in annual funding for the village to make partial matches with churches looking to install permeable
pavers or other stormwater related capital improvements. Churches can make those improvements and apply for credits to offset up to 50 percent of their monthly stormwater bill. Village Manager David Fieldman said staff decided against making the expanded grant program available to all tax-exempt properties because the large, financially-able institutions like Midwestern University or Good Samaritan Hospital would then be eligible. Kucher said the cost-shareprogram is nice in theory. “That program is basically a very superficial fix,” he said. “It just looks good on the paper. It would require churches to spend tens of thousands of dollars that we don’t have already.”

DOWNERS GROVE – Churches and other tax-exempt properties that have clamored for exemptions from the stormwater fee might soon see their day in front of the village council. Downers Grove Village Commissioner Bob Barnett told his fellow council members Sept. 9 he will ask the village manager to prepare an amendment to the stormwater ordinance for discussion at a meeting this month. The item was not listed on the Sept. 16 agenda. The council did not discuss the idea during the meeting beyond Barnett’s announcement. Barnett said by phone Thursday he wanted to place the item on an agenda now, before formal 2015 budget talks begin. He said with almost two years of experience with the fee, the council has had a fair amount of time to see its outcomes and impact. Not-for-profits have “asked and asked and we’ve sort of looked at them and said ‘we hear you, and we want to keep talking about it,’” he said. “But we haven’t really done that. It’s got a very real potential to be a very real problem for these folks down the road if we keep increasing it 8 to 10 percent a year.” The stormwater fee was created in 2013, and charges property owners a fee calculated by the amount of impervious surface area on a lot. The fee is used to improve and maintain the village’s stormwater infrastructure to reduce flooding and other issues. Village officials said the
ordinance is a more equitable way to fund stormwater improvements than the previous method of property taxes, because it’s calculated by the amount of stormwater runoff that a property creates. Before the fee, single-family home owners were paying for about 75 percent of village stormwater infrastructure improvements, despite only owning about 50 percent of the impervious ground in Downers Grove, officials said. For nonprofits like churches who don’t pay property taxes, it is an entirely new expense that was protested by church leaders since before its inception. They say it amounts to a tax that cuts into their ability to provide social services and other programs in the community. “Before it was just the

(BPT) - There still is time to complete your unfinished outdoor projects. Sixty percent of homeowners will accomplish a home improvement project this year, according to survey data from the Zillow Digs Summer Home Improvement Trend and Spending Survey. Follow these tips to make your home’s exterior shine. * Smooth over concrete surfaces. In order to prevent trips or falls, now is a good time to fix and patch those cracks in the driveway or garage. Be sure to fix them now before they get larger and you could incur larger repair costs. It will also help prevent any future accidents. Small cracks can be fixed with concrete caulk while large cracks require a patch. Make sure to clean out the crack before applying either of these substances. * Repaint the deck. Improving your deck, patio or porch is the seventh most popular home improvement project according to RE/MAX and it’s easy to see why. When you picture yourself outside, you probably picture yourself sitting on the deck. So, make your deck stand out with a fresh coat of paint. “Decorating outside of your home is now all the rage,” says Matthew Mead, author of Backyard Style. “Your deck needn’t be brown and sullen. Infuse your backyard space by selecting whatever color you want and spray the floor of your deck with the Wagner Flexio 890. Your deck will be the toast of the neighborhood.” * Give your old patio furniture a new look. If you’re going to reinvent your deck, why stop there? Why not refresh your patio furniture to complement your deck’s new color, too? “Revive any outdoor furniture with an easy spray using the Wagner Flexio 890,” says Mead. “With a simple coat of paint you can transform tables, chairs, and anything wicker in any hue or shade you desire. In my new book Backyard Style, I show how to take simple flea-market finds and, with some paint and very little effort, transform them into show-stopping decorative accessories.” * Caulk around windows and any exterior joints, including doors. Many people think of this as a preventative project for winter, but a fresh application of caulk will protect cool air conditioning from escaping when you need it most. * Make your home’s exterior sparkle. If your home suffered any damage during the winter, now is the perfect time for repairs that will make your home look great again. Walk around your home and look for damaged or missing siding. Replace these pieces and then use a pressure washer to clean and wash away excess dirt and grime. Using a special detergent appropriate for cleaning your home will give you better results. Once you’re done with the siding, don’t forget to grab the window cleaner and make those windows sparkle. Each of these projects can return between 67 and 112 percent of their value to your home, according to DiGiorgi Roofing and Siding, not to mention the added joy you’ll receive from these home improvements. So get out there and get to work. The sooner you finish your project, the sooner you’ll be able to enjoy the rest of the year in style.

Village to pay $485,000 to injured motorist
DOWNERS GROVE – The village of Downers Grove has agreed to a $485,000 settlement to a man injured when the car he was riding as a passenger in was struck by a Downers Grove police patrol car driven by Officer Craig Widlacki. William Keim was a passenger Aug. 12, 2011, in a vehicle driven by David Rosa heading east on Ogden Avenue on when the patrol car collided with the vehicle. Keim sustained injuries and subsequently received “extensive medical treatment and lost wages,” according to village documents. As part of the settlement agreement, Keim’s lawsuit against Widlacki and the village will be dismissed. The village council unanimously approved the settlement Sept. 2. The payment will come from the village’s risk management fun. In August 2013, the village agreed to pay a $132,000 settlement to Rosa.

Restaurant reviews
The Bank Restaurant capitalizes on fresh fare WHEATON – When dining at a fine restaurant, the thoughtful pairing of wine and entree may be a given, but patrons at The Bank Restaurant in Wheaton reap added dividends with delicious fare sourced in a socially responsible manner. Housed in an 1875 building that was once the original location of Gary-Wheaton Bank, the aptly named restaurant offers American-style food with a decidedly local slant – prepared with meats and produce from the region’s farms and ranches. Although outdoor seating is available, my dinner companions and I sat in the main dining room, an intimate setting with tin-tiled ceiling, muted lighting and dark wood trim. Live flamenco guitar softly played in the background; musical acts are a fixture on Friday and Saturday evenings. Our waitress, friendly and attentive, brought us a loaf of crusty bread served with a chipotle-honey butter that was creamy and savory. My dining companions typically stay away from shellfish, but couldn’t resist sharing the Mussel Zuppa appetizer consisting of fresh Cape Cod mussels stewed with sliced celery, carrots, bamboo shoots and snow peas in a house marinara sauce, served with lemon wedges and grilled croutons. The winning dish drew the duo, figuratively speaking, out of their shells. The mussels were tender, and the marinara sauce was thick, rich and had a slight kick to it. I ordered the Hawaiian-style Arctic char, noted in the menu as a sustainable best choice in the salmon family, with mashed Hawaiian purple sweet potatoes. The fish had a sesame soy glaze, and was topped with thinly sliced cucumber, red bell pepper and onion. It was not only visually appealing, but a delicious blend of flavors and textures with each bite. One of my companions is

Downers Grove South struggles against AT By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – When Ryan Taylor ran for 12 yards combined on back-to-back plays and put Downers Grove South’s football team on the Addison Trail 11-yard line, it seemed good things were in store for the home team. But a loss of 9 yards on third-and-9 and a missed field goal seemed to sap any momentum from the Mustangs for the game as they lost to the Blazers 21-0.

“They executed and we didn’t, so they get all the credit and we do not,” Downers Grove South head coach Mark Molinari said. The Blazers’ defense had four sacks and recovered
three fumbles, and the offense worked quickly and efficiently in the shutout win. It was the first time South was shut out at home in a conference game since 2006. AT, which improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the West Suburban Gold, got on the board on quarterback Mike Rybarczyk’s 84-yard run midway through the first quarter. After Rybarczyk and Jake Atiyeh hooked up on a 7-yard score late in the first quarter, the Blazers had two touchdowns before the Mustangs (1-2, 0-1) earned
a first down. A 15-yard strike from Rybarczyk to Jaavion Bradley late in the second quarter put AT ahead 21-0. The Blazers had 136 rushing yards by halftime while South mustered 32 yards on the ground. “We knew they were going to run the ball, and they probably caught us in a bad defense on that long touchdown,” Molinari said. “We just had a couple miscommunications that just can’t happen, a couple guys not communicating what we’re playing.”
After a thrilling overtime win against Proviso West in Week 2, the Mustangs seemed poised for a breakout game, but the offense struggled to get going against a tough AT defense. “We can’t run the ball and we’re struggling on offense” Molinari said. “It just seems like we’re having a hard time trying to fix it right now. We played good defense for about three quarters of the game, but it seems like we have one quarter where we just don’t play very well. We’re the victim of our own circumstance.”

DGN no match for Glenbard West Trojans look to rebound against OPRF in Week 4 By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – For a ball-control offensive team like Downers Grove North, an early deficit can prove to be too much to overcome. Especially when the opponent is Glenbard West. Finding themselves down 14-0 less than 10 minutes into Saturday’s West Suburban Silver conference opener, the Trojans went on to drop a 38-0 decision against the Hilltoppers.
Afterward the game, DGN coach John Wander summed it up succinctly. “We just got beat,” said Wander of his team, which also got shut out in Week 2 against Hinsdale South. A big part of the problem turned out to be Glenbard West running back Sam Brodner, who eclipsed 200 yards rushing on the day while scoring a pair of first quarter touchdowns. “We watched him on film and knew he was good,” Wander said. “He is a tough, put together kid. I’m really impressed with him.” Offensively, the Trojans struggled to sustain drives,
crossing midfield just once in the opening half. They did have a 16-play drive that ended with a turnover on downs. “We actually tried some unbalanced formations and we got some things early on,” the coach said. “But they don’t give up a lot of points. They pinned us early, got field position and punched those in. I think we got into their territory a couple of times but nothing of any significance.” Downers Grove North did possess the ball for nearly 10 minutes in the fourth quarter, moving down the field on 17 straight run plays, but a fumble ended that scoring threat.

Outlook: In Jillian Boyle, Michaela Hackbarth, Abby Kargol and Amanda Thate, the Mustangs bring back four of the seven athletes who ran at last year’s Class 3A state meet, where South finished ninth. The Peoria Woodruff Invitational on Saturday was the first big meet of the year, and the Mustangs showed well. Thate was in the top 50 in a field of 345, and some of the newcomers also fared well. Sophomore Katie Stapleton finished in 65th place, junior Maggie Seitz was 90th and freshman Kelley Hackbarth was in 108th place. Senior Mary Beine, junior Liz Alcantara and freshman Natalie Olsen also ran well. “We have a great group of

Outlook: Three returners are in the fold in Imogene Asa, Brittany Eiermann and Michelle Launi. Outside of that trio, the Sentinels skew young, and they are looking for a No. 1 runner to emerge. “Our top runners keep changing,” head coach Steve Wolf said. “The Peoria Woodruff Invitational [on Saturday] told us a lot about our team. We don’t have that outstanding front-runner but are more of a pack team.” A large freshman class is gaining varsity experience. Two of the newcomers, Emilia Maslany and Lisa Niemiec, were the top two finishers for the Sentinels at the Peoria Woodruff Invite. Ashley Eiermann and Peyton Nash also are freshmen on the varsity.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com
RYAN TAYLOR Downers Grove South Senior | Football Why Taylor was selected: Taylor led the Mustangs with 46 yards rushing in Friday’s game against Addison Trail On a night where not much was working for Downers Grove South’s football team, Ryan Taylor was the exception. The running back was the workhorse on offense, gaining a team-high 46 yards. After missing last football season with a broken leg, Taylor, the Sears Hardware & Appliance Athlete of the Week, is back in full force. He spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about the Mustangs’ strengths and being a standout player in both baseball and football.
Rossi: What do you think the team has done well this season? Taylor: I’d say it’s definitely
been our defense. Our defense
is out there holding teams and staying strong.
Rossi: You also are well known as a baseball player. Do you like one sport better? Taylor: I love the feeling of
being on the field. I love both and I’m just enjoying being out here my senior year. But I feel I have a better shot of playing baseball at the next level, so I’ll probably go to college for baseball.
Rossi: Can the team turn things around from its 1-2 start? Taylor: They did it in 2001
and won a state championship. No one can say we can’t do it again and that we can’t be the team to do it.

NILES – Benet’s football team normally strikes a balance between running plays and passing plays, but Brad Sznajder said the Redwings had a good reason to rely on the running game Friday night. “The offensive line was playing so well against them, why change it up?” the senior running back said. With Sznajder running wild to the tune of 296 yards, Benet won the East Suburban Catholic Conference opener against Notre Dame 23-0. It didn’t take long for Sznajder and the Redwings (3-0 overall, 1-0 ESCC) to assert their dominance on the ground. Benet led 10-0 after the first quarter, by which time Sznajder had compiled 132 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown plunge, on 10 carries. Like any good running back, he credited the blockers in front of him for his big day. “We have a lot of guys coming back on the offensive line with a ton of experience, and that’s huge for us at the start of the year,” Sznajder said. “They know what it takes to win games.” Matt Tromp’s second field goal of the game, a 25-yard boot with 57 seconds left in the first half, put Benet ahead 13-0 at intermission, and another 25-yard field goal made it 16-0 early in the third quarter. Sznajder added a 53-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to make it 23-0, but that was insurance. Benet’s defense allowed just 112 yards in the game, including 37 rush-

ing yards on 30 carries. “The defense has been really great for us this year, and I think the biggest thing is they all play together,” Benet head coach Pat New said. New said defensive back Andrew Valadka, middle linebacker Charlie Weidenbach and defensive linemen Jack Kelly, Trent Kramer and Jack Stephens were especially dis-
ruptive against the Dons. The Redwings have seemed to improve each game so far this season, which is even more reason for them to stick to their one-game-at-a-time approach. “We look at it as there’s nine games, so nine different seasons,” Sznajder said. “After [Notre Dame], we forget all about that one and move on to the next one.”

CHICAGO FOOTBALL.COM Hub Arkush will the NFL survive, it will continue to be the most popular sport in America and a goldmine for those who own it, coach it and play it. There are 1,696 players on NFL rosters right now, another 320 on practice squads and about 200 more on various injured reserve and other lists. Rice, Hardy, McDonald and Peterson represent exactly two-tenths of 1 percent of that group. The 39 players who began the season on suspension for failed tests for banned substances or violations of the league’s personal conduct code represent 1.8 percent of the players in the league. I can’t prove it, but I’m betting if you took 2,216 random citizens from anywhere in the country you’d find more than twotenths of 1 percent who’d committed serious crimes, and a lot more than 1.8 percent who’ve experimented

with drugs. When it comes to these types of issues, we tend to have very short memories. Watching the NFL’s various pregame shows this past Sunday, I was struck by who the commentators among the former players were. What do Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp, Cris Carter, Keyshawn Johnson and Ray Lewis, to name just a few, all have in common? A lot worse than sex, drugs and rock and roll, and they are the networks’ choices to be the faces of the game. Everything is going to be just fine, but some things are definitely going to have to change. For starters, Rice’s
former teammates have to stop making things worse. Immediately following the Ravens’ 26-6 Thursday night victory, Ravens Torrey Smith, C.J. Mosley, Jacoby Jones and others talked about winning it for Rice and what a great guy he is. That Rice had allegedly never been in any trouble before is irrelevant. His one indiscretion is inexcusable. We didn’t need the second tape to know that, and until his former teammates understand that, they will continue to embarrass themselves and the league. We have no idea what Roger Goodell knew or when he knew it relevant to the second tape. If he’s lying, he will be fired. If he’s not, he’ll be judged on what he does to eliminate domestic violence among NFL players going forward, not how badly he’s botched the Rice case. Hardy, McDonald and Peterson all are clearly entitled to due process in the courts. But that does not mean they’re entitled to play through their indiscretions. The deactivations of Hardy and Peterson this past weekend were the

right moves. Both players were paid so they’re not technically being punished. Even if they’re innocent of the allegations against them, they have to know better than to put themselves in these situations to maintain the privilege of playing in the NFL. The paid time off until their cases are adjudicated is what’s best for the league. Finally, understand that the case against Peterson is very different than Rice, Hardy and McDonald. I find what Peterson did to his son to be disgusting and reprehensible and I’m sure many of you agree with me. But there are some very serious, important and significant institutions and individuals in this country who believe in corporal punishment. Again, as much as I hate what Peterson did, it is quite possible he loves his son very much and that he believed he was doing the right thing. How Peterson responds and what the league does to clean up this ridiculous mess is what we will eventually remember, not how uncomfortable it’s been to watch it unfold.

1977 was my first year on the NFL beat. In the 37 years since, I have never seen a more controversial or disastrous week for the game than the one that’s just passed. There was the week the players walked out in 1982 and didn’t return for 56 days. 1987 brought the replacement games and disgust in NFL cities everywhere. We lived through the Raiders-Patriots “tuck” game, replacement officials, and the game they stole from the Packers to give to the Seahawks. There were murder charges against Rae Carruth and Aaron Hernandez and any number of other huge stories that challenged the NFL’s seeming perfection and invincibility. But never a week like this. With the emergence of what is being called the “second Ray Rice tape,” the sudden vulnerability of the previously untouchable Roger Goodell, the ongoing controversies surrounding Greg Hardy and Ray McDonald, and then the child endangerment indictment against Adrian Peterson, it feels as if the sky is indeed falling. Let’s be clear, not only

ANGELS FROM THE ATTIC
What’s the biggest animal you’ve ever seen? Maybe you’ve seen a girafe or an elephant at the zoo, or you’ve spotted whales when visiting the ocean. But can you imagine an animal more than 40 feet tall (bigger than your house!) and weighing more than 40 tons (about the weight of 20 cars), walking around your neighborhood? That was the size of the brachiosaurus, a dinosaur that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. We know about dinosaurs because of a science called paleontology, the study of life long ago. Most scientists conduct experiments to learn new information, but paleontologists have to learn using fossils, which are the preserved remains of living things. Much like animals today, dinosaurs came in many shapes and sizes, and they lived at diferent times. Some,
like the eoraptor, the earliest known dinosaur, walked on two feet and lived among turtles and frogs. Others, like the stegosaurus, a giant animal with a tiny brain, lived in a later time, known as the Jurassic Period, when the first bird-like dinosaurs were seen. There was even one about the size of a chicken, the compsognathus, the smallest known dinosaur. The famous Tyrannosaurus rex didn’t come about until the latest period of dinosaurs, when more mammals began to emerge. A few dinos, like the T. rex, were hunters, but most ate plants — paleontologists know because of the shape of their teeth. Today, you can visit dinosaur bones in a museum, but you won’t see a live dino walking down your street anytime soon. Dinosaurs became extinct (meaning they died out) about 65 million years ago. Why did it happen? No one knows for sure, but with new discoveries being made all the time, we just might learn someday.
Make your own fossil! Dinosaur fossils were formed by bones staying under ground for millions of years. But you can make your own fossil right at home today! Make sure to get an adult to help you. You’ll need: 2 cups flour 1 cup salt 1 cup water Something to make a fossil of — a small plastic dinosaur, or even your hand
1. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, and slowly add water, stirring as you go, until you have a dough. You might not need all the water — you don’t want the dough too wet. 2. Roll the dough into a ball, dust it with flour, and knead it for at least five minutes. Roll it out to ½- or ¼-inch thick. Cut circles from the dough using a cookie cutter or a drinking glass. 3. Press your fossil object into the dough and carefully remove. Then bake the dough at 200 F for 2-3 hours. When done baking and cooled, you have your fossil!
