DOWNERS GROVE – Visitors to the Downtown Downers Grove Art Festival will have even more to see, hear and taste this weekend as the annual event expands to include Curtiss Street and adds a beer and wine tent for the first time, joining the live music stage.

Art lovers will be able to shop from booths displaying work from 131 artists from across the country and around the globe, including two from Downers Grove – painter Lisa Domaszewicz and photographer Jessica Cepele.

Shoppers may remember Domaszewicz’s booth from last year, full of birds and other bright wildlife painted on square wooden blocks.

“They’re fun,” she said. “People always smile when they walk by my booth.”

Before painting, Domaszewicz adds a layers of modeling paste for texture, almost giving the wood surface a carved look.

“Then I’ll do different layers of colors,” she said. “And I like to use a lot of metallics. My art is very colorful and bold and vibrant.”

Painting on wood, as opposed to canvas, is both time-saving and more cost-effective, she said.

n The 38th annual

Downtown Downers Grove Art Festival runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Main and Curtiss streets. n To view Domaszewicz work, visit Earthycreations.com or etsy.com/shop/ EarthyCreations Shop. n To view Jessica Cepele’s work, visit jessicacepele.com.

“So then people can afford it, and I just like being different,” she added.

Like Domaszewicz, Jessica Cepele also operated a booth and sold her work at last year’s fest.

The 2010 School of the Art Institute of Chicago graduate specializes in landscapes, notably in a series of striking images from a trip to the Grand Canyon.

“I like to capture the story of a place,” she said. “Not just an image, but the story of that place. That’s what I find interesting. It’s a challenge. And it’s through my eyes, so as much as it’s an image of that location, it’s ultimately like a self portrait. I’m also trying to stay true to the location as well, when I’m capturing the story.

“I want you to feel like you’ve been there, and not just see the picture.”

Cepele’s work also regularly features lighthouses, midwest locations, Chicago and wildlife.

To be included in the festival, artists submitted work to a panel of judges, according to Festival Director Amy Amdur. One hundred thirty-one were selected for the sale.

Amdur’s production company took the festival’s reigns five years ago and expanded it to its two-day format.

“We’ve got all kinds of artists; we’ve got all kinds of price points,” she said. “Everything you see at the show is for sale. I tell people to buy what they love and what makes them feel good.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to feel good.”

Amdur added the fest is family-friendly and handicapped accessible.

To that point, there’s a children’s coloring area, along with a set-up for shoppers to make their own spin art.

The festival does not have food vendors in an effort to encourage shoppers to eat at the existing downtown restaurants, she said.

“To be able to be on Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com the Main Street in the downtown, just the set- Downers Grove painter Lisa Domaszewicz puts varnish on one of her pieces Friday in her ting alone is cool,” she home studio. Domaszewicz will be one of the artists displaying work at the Downtown said.

When You’ve Been to the Doctor, But Your Pain Remains … 3 Good Reasons to Get a Second Opinion SPONSORED BY

Stubborn pain syndromes can be some of the most frustrating to endure for, both those who are suffering, their families and friends. Difficult chronic pain can cause repeated loss of work, absence from important family events and difficulty with activities of daily living, preventing you or your loved ones from living a vital lifestyle.

They’re particularly frustrating after you’ve seen your primary care physician, been referred for routine therapies and your pain still isn’t resolved. As many as 35 million adults in the US suffer unresolved chronic pain, but don’t let statistics discourage you.

Many long-term pain sufferers are finding pain management strategies that finally do work even after routine therapies and specialists have failed, and they’re living healthy lifestyles as a result.

Here’s why unresolved pain after medical treatment could be well worth a second opinion.

New therapies and technologies are innovated for pain management every year Multi-disciplinary strategies are resolving pain where previous therapies have failed Previous medical treatment may not have determined the origins of chronic pain

CAPS PainCare has often found solutions that work, even after routine therapies and specialist referrals haven’t because of our unique approach to pain management. Request a referral from your primary care physician to get a 2nd opinion on pain that still hasn’t been resolved. Your doctor is welcome to speak directly with our advanced pain specialist, Dr. Tony Chami , to learn why our approach succeeds where others have not – 888-3104259.

DOWNERS GROVE – Candidates began circulating petitions a week ago to run for three village council spots and the mayor’s seat in the April 7, 2015, election.

Mayor Martin Tully said he has begun circulating and plans to run for re-election.

“My intention is to sustain the success that we’ve had the last four years,” Tully said.

“Coming out of the recession, I think we are in a much better position than a lot of other municipalities.”

Tully mentioned economic development and infrastructure investment as continuing priorities, along with maintaining the village’s high bond rating.

Village council seats currently belonging to commissioners Becky Rheintgen, Sean Durkin and Geoff Neustadt are up for election this spring.

All three are first-term commissioners.

Rheintgen said she plans to run for re-election. Neustadt said he picked up the nomi-

The filing deadline is not until Nov. 24.

“I am still reviewing my options for the election in 2015,” he said. “It’s a big decision for me, a lot of factors go into it. It’s not something that can be taken lightly.”

Durkin did not return requests for comment.

Ask Dr. Webster

Q: What happens in a periodontal exam?

A: The goal of the periodontal exam is to assess the health of your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. As part of that assessment, your dentist will probe along the gum line to measure the depth of the pockets between the gum and the tooth. The dentist will use a narrow instrument called a periodontal probe, a rule of sorts, with lines marked in millimeters. Abnormally deep pockets are a sign of periodontal, or gum, disease.

The dentist will also be observant about whatever bleeding occurs during the exam.

Bleeding generally indicates inflammation.

Swollen, red and bleeding gums may alert a person to a gum problem, but clinical measurements throughout the mouth are necessary to determine if true periodontal pocketing has developed. The periodontal exam also includes observation and documentation of the color and texture of gum tissue, the extent of gum recession, evidence of any tooth grinding and a measurement of tooth mobility.

Your dentist will record all these observations not only to determine whether you have the beginnings of gum disease, but also to set a baseline of statistics and observations against which to compare future exams. Talk with your dentist about ways to keep your gums healthy.

DOWNERS GROVE – Wherever her future travels lead, Elizabeth Kazmierczak probably won’t be trying any shark fin soup.

The Downers Grove South senior has a passion for marine life and conservation, and got a first-hand look this summer at how over fishing sharks for their dorsal fins has led to dwindling numbers of some species.

The fins are largely shipped to China, where they are the main ingredient in the pricey and popular soup.

Kazmierczak spent a week

Kazmierczak said they caught seven nurse sharks during the week, but none of the reef sharks that are prized for their fins – indicative of the decreased population.

“Last year, she only caught one or two reef sharks,” she said. “When I went [this summer], she hadn’t caught any.”

Scientists from Stony Brook University have been conducting research around the islands of Belize for about a decade to inform and assist the Belizean government in creating legislation to protect the shark species found in their waters, she said.

“They do want to make it illegal, but since it’s such an important industry in Belize, they haven’t,” she said. “Rather than stopping it, they’re just trying to figure out a way to stabilize the population of sharks.”

Kazmierczak will begin applying to colleges this fall and said she’s hoping to study environmental science.

Continued from page 7 at Stony Brook University, to track and research sharks off the coast.

Tasks involved laying Baited remote underwater video stations on the ocean floor, about 30 to 90 feet down, she said. Then the crew would check various shark lines and nab any sharks caught that day for cataloging, tagging and release. The day would end with some fishing for shark bait and retrieving the BRUVS for review.

BRUVS record underwater video for about 85 minutes, which Kazmierczak and others would review to identify and record the types of species in the water.

The trip “definitely changed the way that I see animals and conservation in general,” she said. “I learned a lot about how Marine life works and how we’re destroying our planet slowly and definitely dwindling the population of sharks.”

Making college more affordable for everyone Summer has ended, and that means it’s back-to-school time for families across the country. For those parents who recently loaded up the car and dropped their kids off at college, the excitement of another year of school is tempered by another year of looming tuition bills and ever-increasing education expenses.

To take some of the guesswork out of financial planning, the House passed the Strengthening Transparency in Higher Education Act, which creates a consumer-tested College Dashboard, giving students and parents the tools to fully understand the total cost of college before deciding where COMMUNITY to continue their education.

VOICE Another bill, the EmpowPeter ering Students Through Roskam Enhanced Financial Counseling Act, provides interactive counseling through an online tool each year a student participates in a federal loan program. By increasing loan awareness and financial planning before and throughout the college experience, we can eliminate surprise expenses and ensure students work through available grant and scholarship options to shrink the size of their student loan.

The House also passed two bills that would streamline the tax code, making it easier for families to use tax credits to make college more affordable. The Student and Family Tax Simplification Act consolidates four existing education provisions into a single, modernized and permanent American Opportunity Tax Credit that families can use to offset tuition expenses, fees and course materials. Middle- and low-income families would be eligible for a 100 percent tax credit for the first $2,000 of eligible higher education expenses and a 25 percent tax credit for the next $2,000 of such expenses, providing relief for those who need it the most. The House also voted to reform the Child Tax Credit, indexing it to inflation and eliminating the marriage penalty so families can more easily receive their full eligible amount. Simplifying education tax credits ensures families can get the most savings possible, and students can spend less time worrying about financing their education, instead focusing on developing the skills necessary to enter the workforce.

Obtaining a quality education is key to bettering the lives of our children and ensuring their long-term success, and getting a college degree shouldn’t mean a lifetime of student loan debt.

These common-sense, bipartisan bills are a big step toward tackling the cost of higher education and opening up more opportunities for the next generation.

Why not play in bandshell?

I want to know why they had live music that played in the library parking lot during Rotary [Grove]Fest and did not play in the Park District bandshell, where it’s designed for that, and the bandshell cost the taxpayers over $1 million. It’s rather curious.

What a world

Wow, dogs can pee on your flowers. And you can have a flowerbed attract butterflies, finches and hummingbirds, but it’s considered a noxious weed.

What a world.

Thanks to good Samaritan who helped with pet

On July 2, our beloved young dog, Jessie, was hit on Woodridge Drive at Echo Park. It was an unfortunate accident but fatal. My husband had no vehicle, called me and before I arrived, a wonderful gentleman stopped and took them to the vet hospital. I was told he was employed at the nearby grade school. Later, he remained at the hospital until I arrived to be with him. Sadly, we did not get his name. I hope he knows how truly thankful we are. He made us realize there are people out there that really care and look out for others. With all the bad news we hear now from the media, there is sunshine. We will be forever grateful.

A response to the incident in Ferguson, Mo.

I want to respond to the person that said something about Ferguson and the video. They said that Brown was not a gentle giant. I don’t care what kind of giant he was. He did not deserve to be shot six times and two times in the head. He was a human being, OK? Wake up. We [are] tired of shooting people down. And as

More about Ferguson, Mo.

This is in response to the man who wondered about the riots in Ferguson, Mo. Rather than doing all that fancy thinking you’re doing, maybe you should do a little research and realize that in the last number of years it’s been open season on African-Americans by the police, whether or not the African-Americans are armed. How many more dead people must there be before someone does decide, “Hey, let’s protest?”

All political candidates are liars about assets

It’s humorous as how the people running for office accuse each other of using loopholes to not pay taxes. One example is having their money saved overseas in different accounts, which is just laughable because they all do the same thing. They all know where and how to hide their assets and then lie to the voters. Not everyone believes these lies, I hope.

Joseph Academy, a school for children with severe emotional, behavioral or learning problems, closed its DuPage County location Sept. 1.

Joseph Academy closes DuPage County location

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com High-needs children living in the DuPage County area will have to go elsewhere to get specialized help now that a local nonprofit school has announced its closure.

In a letter to DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin dated Aug. 19, Joseph Academy Founder and CEO Mike Schack addressed the end of the school’s DuPage County program.

“After two years, we have not been able to sustain the Joseph Academy program in the former DuPage County Youth Home,” he wrote.

The academy, which opened in December 2012 in Wheaton, served students with emotional, behavioral and learning challenges who were referred to the program through their school districts.

Schack said his letter was sent “with a heavy heart,” citing a lack of federal and state funding for special education and low enrollment as

the cause of the closing.

In an interview with Suburban Life in March, Schack said the program hoped to have 18 to 20 students attend the school annually but only served eight a year ago.

The academy began falling behind on its bills, owing nearly $12,000 in rent to its landlord, DuPage County, until the board voted to waive the backlog and allow the program to operate rentfree through the end of September.

“The DuPage Board has been most understanding and helpful through excellent maintenance and rental reductions during these years,” Schack wrote. “Joseph Academy was blessed with such a solid landlord. We are very grateful for the chance you provided and stand ready to serve in any capacity should a future need arise for an educational program in the facility.”

Schack also stated the school submitted a grant proposal to Gov. Pat Quinn’s budget manager for the ad-

dition of a boarding school component, but receiving the grant appeared “a remote possibility.”

The academy’s final day of occupation was Sept. 1.

Cronin announced the closure publicly at the County Board meeting Aug. 26.

“This school year, Joseph Academy locations across Chicagoland graduated 43 students,” he said. “The teachers and staff helped turn around the lives of those young people and their families. We believe in their devotion to serving this unique population of students with special education needs. We wish them well indeed, as they continue to operate Joseph Academy in other locations throughout the region.”

The school also has sites in Des Plaines, Hometown and Melrose Park.

County spokesperson Johnna Kelly said the children in the program were offered alternative placements and the county is looking at filling the vacancy left by the academy internally.

The prospective training participants are interviewed

by Career Connect board members, including Dutra, and some move on to a second round of interviews and reading and math testing with jobs trainer Jane Addams Resource Corp.

Resource Associate Director Regan Brewer said her organization looks for people who have a good attitude, are reliable and have an eagerness to learn the trade.

The first set of classes in computerized numerical control and welding will run 3:30 to 9 p.m.

Monday through Friday at the Technology Center of DuPage in Addison, Brewer said. Classes are open entry, meaning accepted candidates can begin whenever they like and leave when they are certified and have a job.

While there are still some logistics to work out – Fulks mentioned transportation issues – Brewer said the partnership with the center was a “match made in Heaven” to provide a workplace-simulating environment. She said the goal for the DuPage program was to have 20 to 25 complete one of the two classes by the end of the year, with all certified in their field and safety certified with a forklift license.

Dutra said he is reaching out to area nonprofits to help provide resources to program members, including day care.

The involved groups will work with the Alliance for Illinois Manufacturing, a 600-strong partner organization, to place workers.

The newly hired lead coordinator for manufacturing job training program Career Connect Metro West said after months of work and years of planning, it and partner agencies are ready to begin filling the empty manufacturing lines of DuPage County.

Joe Dutra began his post June 2, hired with part of the $200,000 in seed money the DuPage County Board pledged to the effort in March.

The initiative spawned by nonprofit DuPage United will accept its first class of workforce trainees Sept. 8, he said.

“When DuPage United first started reaching out to the community several years ago, jobs were obviously the biggest concern,” he said. “So we started diving into solutions.”

One solution was manufacturing.

According to DuPage United, the county has the second biggest manufacturing industry in the state, behind Cook.

But existing companies have had to turn away new business because of the lack of trained workers, Dutra said, and the organization estimates there will be 9,000 new, high-paying jobs in the field across the next 10 years vacated by retirees.

“If we can’t replace those 9,000 jobs, manufacturing is going to leave,” he said. “If we put them in now, we can have experts in the field.”

Manufacturing expansion also helps other industries, Dutra said, creating a trickle-down effect for the entire area.

During the past several months, Career Connect has hosted more than 20 recruitment sessions across the county, including last week at Glen Ellyn’s Faith Lutheran Church, one of DuPage United’s many faith-based partners.

Faith Lutheran member Debbie Fulks, a volunteer organizer for the Aug. 20 session, said the church hosted 22 attendees – all but one individually recruited

by Faith members, and only one a member of Faith.

Fulks said recruitment efforts included speaking to church members, contacting area nonprofits and reaching

Willow Crest hosts golf outing for visually impaired vets

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – For a sixth straight year, a group of former football coaches banded together to honor and pay respect to a dozen visually impaired veterans.

On Aug. 20, former Westmont and Downers Grove South football coach Jack McInerney

hosted the sixth annual golf outing for 12 visually impaired veterans at the Willow Crest Golf Club at the Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook Hills Resort. The annual outing is part of the Central Blind Rehabilitation Center at Edward Hines Jr. Veterans Hospital program that helps visually impaired veterans cope with their condition.

“It’s important for these

guys to know, even though they served in World War II, Korea or Vietnam, we haven’t forgotten about them and their service,” said McInerney, a Westmont resident. “All of our freedoms and liberties are because of them. They are the real heroes and this is our way of honoring them.”

About 9 a.m. Aug. 20, each golfer paired up with one to two

caddies, most of whom are former high school football coaches and some, like McInerney, have also served in the Marines.

While on the course, the caddies tee up each shot for the golfers, helping them address and hit the ball, and doling out encouragement and pointers on each hole.

For the golfers and caddies alike, it is a bonding experience.

Navy veteran James Guthrie of Urbandale, Iowa was paired with Chicago resident Mike O’Neill. Guthrie said while O’Neill dished out some helpful golf tips, the best part of the day was chatting about Iowa State athletics.

“I’ve had so much fun today,” Guthrie said. “It’s nice to get out on the course and bond with these guys. Mike’s an old Iowa State guy, he played football there and my son wrestled there, so it’s really great to have that connection.”

Downers Grove resident Jay Baum agreed, explaining he decided to caddie for a second straight year in order to continue giving back to the veterans that have given so much.

“It’s such a humbling and rewarding experience,” Baum said. “These are some amazing

After playing a few holes, the golfers and caddies were treated to lunch by Club Manager and Golf Pro Randy Bolsted and the Willow Crest staff. During the meal, both caddies and golfers stood up, introducing their golfing partner and sharing what they learned about the man they were paired with.

“It’s the perfect way to end the day,” McInerney said.

“Hearing them share stories about one another, you can tell that they really care about the other guy and are so grateful for what each has given.”

Restaurant reviews

Old Vilnius Café imports taste of Lithuania DARIEN – Although I knew nothing about Lithuanian food, my companion was thrilled when I asked him to join me for dinner at Old Vilnius Café, named after the country’s capital.

Inside the door sits a gift shop full of Lithuanian wares, many celebrating the 1992 bronze-medal Lithuanian Olympic basketball team.

Mugs, T-shirts and amber jewelry line the shelves. The shop opens up into a small deli offering traditional candy, Lithuanian magazines and a variety of goodies to take home.

Beyond the gift shop, the intimate dining room is a mix of cozy and elegant, with black padded leather chairs and dark wood furnishings lit softly by wall sconces.

Old Vilnius Café serves Lithuanian and Eastern European cuisine, with dishes made in-house from scratch.

During our visit, the waiter apologized when my companion ordered zeppelins, because the traditional dish of grated potato dumplings stuffed with minced meat had sold out, but he gladly offered a fried version as a substitute for the boiled.

After reading through the menu, I decided to start with an appetizer of fried Lithuanian bread served with a warm cheese and garlic sauce. The strips of crispy bread were piled into a large bowl and smothered in gooey cheese. It was delicious, but very rich. I was glad to have someone helping me dig in before our main courses arrived.

My companion sipped on warm red beet soup, borszcz, which I sampled and really enjoyed. A cold variation of the soup also is an option.

Although our waiter tried to warn us, we ordered much more food than we could finish, but the place was a meat and potato lover’s paradise that proved hard to resist.

Because it was my first time eating Lithuanian food, I

They came with a side of sour cream and bacon tidbits, as did many items on the menu. The savory dish was a delicious balance of starchy potatoes, salty bacon and cool sour cream.

My eager dining companion, much more educated about the cuisine thanks to fond childhood memories of many of the dishes, ordered a combination plate to taste

a bit of everything. His plate arrived loaded with fried zeppelin, potato sausage, kugelis, Lithuanian sausage and sauerkraut. Of course, bacon and sour cream added their decadent flourish.

My favorite was the kugelis, a baked potato cross between cake and pudding. It reminded me of twice-baked potatoes, but the best I’d ever had.

In addition to a wide range of European chicken, beef and

pork entrees, the menu offers several all-American options such as chicken wings, Caesar salad and a bacon cheddar Angus burger.

We ended up boxing half of our dinner to take home, but if I hadn’t been so stuffed, I would have loved to try a slice of raspberry cheesecake or chocolate lava cake. Cocktails, Lithuanian beer and wine also are featured.

Old Vilnius Café combines

ethnic cuisine with a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of options for Lithuanian food fans and those less familiar with the hearty dishes.

If you like baseball, you’ve probably watched the World Series on television. But did you know that Little League Baseball also has a world series? It’s played every August in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where Little League Baseball was created.

This year, the sport is celebrating its 75th anniversary.

By the end of the 19th century, baseball was known as America’s pastime, but there were few opportunities for children to play organized games. That’s when Carl Stotz of Williamsport stepped in.

Stotz often played ball with his young nephews, and in 1938 decided to organize a program for them as a way to teach them about sportsmanship and teamwork. There were just three teams in the early years, but the sport quickly grew, and by the 1950s, there were teams all over the U.S. as well as other countries. Today, more than 200,000 teams in 80 countries play Little League.

The rules have changed a bit in 75 years. Little League used to be for 11- and 12-yearold boys only, but today, 13-year-olds are allowed in certain circumstances.

Girls are allowed, too. This year, Mo’ne Davis from Philadelphia made a splash when she took the mound in the Little League World Series as the 18th girl to play in the series and the first female pitcher to throw a shutout, which means the opposing team did not score any runs against her team.

Downers Grove South’s Max Soderlund looks for running room during Friday’s game against Benet. The Redwings grabbed an early lead and held on for a 26-16 win.

Early lead lifts Benet over Downers Grove South

By PAUL D. BOWKER msleditorial@shawmedia.com LISLE – The game really began in the Sznajder family backyard years ago.

Jack would throw a football to his older brother Brad. He’d catch it, and the game was on.

One day, they hoped, they’d be doing it in a real stadium wearing real football jerseys.

That is precisely what happened Friday in Benet’s season-opening 26-16 win against Downers Grove South at Benedictine University. Brad, a se-

nior, rushed for three touchdowns and 127 yards on the same night Jack, a sophomore, started his first varsity game.

“It’s probably the coolest game of my life, I’d say, so far,” Brad said. “It was just awesome for me, for Jack, for my family to have this experience.

That’s great.”

Brad ran for touchdowns of six and seven yards in the first half as Benet grabbed an early 19-0 lead in the first half.

He added a 34-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Jack completed his first

five passes and ran for 32 yards on his first offensive play. He wound up completing 9-of-18 passes for 83 yards.

“As a sophomore, he’s just going to get better and better,” Benet coach Pat New said of Jack. “I expected him to make a couple of mistakes because you’re a sophomore and that‘s what happens. He rose to the challenge. He’s a great competitor. I have total faith that he’ll just improve throughout the year.”

The game was halted for more than an hour in the sec-

ond quarter because of lightning, and it was after the storm had passed that Downers Grove South came alive.

Ryan Taylor scored on the Mustangs’ first possession of the second half, finishing off a 63-yard drive with a two-yard TD run. A 30-yard fumble return by Eric Denby for a score and a 36-yard field goal by Riley Heavey, all in the third quarter, closed Benet’s lead to 19-16.

But even with two interceptions and a touchdown-saving tackle by Denby in the fourth

quarter, the Mustangs weren’t able to score again.

Jacob Baker, a senior, made his debut at tailback and rushed for 71 yards.

“Jacob ran hard,” Downers Grove South coach Mark Molinari said. “It was his first night at tailback. We saw some good things. We’d like to see him do a few more things, but that will come with some experience. We’re asking a kid who was a quarterback and a tight end last year to play tailback.

We like him. We’re going to stick with him.”

DGR

their first home game hoping to avoid last season’s 0-2 start. In 2013, South lost to Proviso 1912 after a season-opening loss to Benet. The Panthers come into the game after a 13-7 win against Evanston in Week 1.

n OUTLOOK: Both teams are

coming off decisive wins to start the season, with Hinsdale South having defeated Romeoville 27-14 in its opener. David Edwards had a huge game for North in the opener.

Quarterback Robby Regan leads South’s offense.

By JEFF DEGRAW msleditorial@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – David Edwards missed a significant amount of time last season before returning for Downers Grove North’s quarterfinal playoff game.

He made up for lost time in this year’s season opener, which started Friday night and ended Saturday after weather delays. North won 3120 as Edwards rushed for 177 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries.

“He’s ready to go,” North head coach John Wander said.

“We have a three-year quarterback and we’re expecting

huge things from him. He did a nice job.”

Edwards’ 6-foot-8 frame coupled with the Trojans’ sly option offense is a tough combo to stop.

“He falls forward for three to four yards every carry,” first-year Lockport coach Dan Starkey said of Edwards.

The end result was a plus for the Trojans, but it didn’t come without some turbulent moments.

Before the delay Friday night, North’s initial drive stalled at the 25-yard line with a failed fourth down attempt.

On the next play, Lockport senior quarterback Jeremy Quade ran 70 yards to the five

yard line. Then he capped off the drive with a one-yard touchdown run Saturday evening to take a 6-0 lead with 6:08 to go in the first quarter.

“We’re a very young defense and we need to get better,” Wander said. “The key to the game was we didn’t really turn the ball over. If we play that type of game with our offense and don’t turn the ball over, we give ourselves a good chance to win.”

However, that was the last Porter lead of the game.

North came right back with a 66-yard drive, with Edwards gaining 50 of those yards on five carries to take a 7-6 lead with 2:18 remaining in

the first quarter.

Lockport drove to North’s seven yard line, but the drive came up empty. Edwards punched in a two-yard touchdown run on the ensuing drive to put the Trojans ahead 14-6.

Another Edwards touchdown just before halftime made it 21-6 and the lead expanded to 28-6 early in the third before Lockport scored again.

“The kids are learning a new system with new coaches,” Starkey said. “We have to clean up the mistakes, we had opportunities, but I’m certainly proud of this team with the effort they gave.”

Coach: Trisha Kurth Conference: West Suburban Gold 2013 record: 11-24

and return a slew of players who gained valuable experience last year and who have improved in the offseason.

Among the returners is outside hitter Katie Vondra, who fueled the offense last season.

Middle hitter Cassie Lueken also is back, as are key defensive cogs Jess Faber and Hannah Wood. Senior newcomer Shannon Galway adds to the depth on defense. Setters Megan Muench and Renee Kryk both saw ample playing time last season.

“I believe that with this group of girls and how hard they’ve been working all summer that our season will be an improvement from last year,” head coach Trisha Kurth said.

“We are hoping to make some huge gains at the net this year and with our teamwork.”

DGR

Outlook: The Redwings graduated six starters from a team that made it to the state quarterfinals for the third consecutive year. Those kinds of losses might mean a rebuilding year for most programs, but Benet is not like most programs. The squad enters the season with six players who saw plenty of action last year.

Rachael Fara, last year’s kills leader, is back and is committed to play in college at Northwestern. Other players with college offers include Natalie Canulli (Penn State), Meghan Weber (Wright State), and Tiffany Clark (Michigan, second in digs last season), who plays libero in club but will switch to outside hitter for the Redwings. Sara Neilson, Maria Cyvas and Dana Griffin return after playing extensively last year.

A tough tournament schedule awaits the Redwings, but some of the stiffest competition may come in practice as players like Lauren Berto, Paige Hembrough, Lina Lietuvninkas, Lilly Johnson and Gretchen Rudel will be battling for varsity playing time.

“We have a very deep team with lots of girls that will be pushing each other,” head

Benet’s Rachael Fara goes up to hit the ball in a match last season.

She is one of several returning players for the Redwings, who eye a return to the state finals this year.

You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed.

If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review Illinois law requires assessed values of property, other than farmland and coal, are to be assessed of 33 1/3% of fair market value. Restrictions within Illinois law delay the change in property assessments caused by changes of actual property fair cash value. State law requires the assessed values are to be adjusted based upon data from the three prior calendar years before the assessment date. In appreciating markets, this forces current property assessments to lag behind recent sales prices, and in declining markets, the decline of assessed values is delayed.

Assessed values are one of the three variables which determine individual property tax amounts. The other two variables are homestead exemption amounts, if any, and property tax rates. Tax rates are determined from the budgets of all units of local government supplying services to your property. Your tax bill is calculated by multiplying the equalized assessment for your property (minus exemptions) by the tax rate.

Homestead Exemptions available to Illinois property taxpayers include the General (Residential), Senior Citizens, Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze, Disabled Veterans’ Standard, Disabled Veterans (Adaptive Housing), Disabled Persons’, and the Returning Veterans’ homestead exemptions. You may review information describing these programs by visiting the Supervisor of Assessment’s website located at http://www.dupageco.org/SOA/ In accordance with the Illinois Compiled Statutes, Chapter 35, 200/9210, the following equalization factors have been applied by the Supervisor of Assessments to bring the assessment level to the current median level of assessment as stated above. All parcels including those listed below have been increased or decreased by applying these equalization factors.

FARM CLASS Farm Land............................ 1.0000 Farm Buildings...................... 1.0000 Farm Homesites.................... 0.9861

Contact your local assessor’s office to review your assessment if you believe the fair cash value is incorrect or you are not assessed uniformly with comparable properties in your neighborhood.

A physical description of the property, which includes information used by the Township Assessor to create the assessed value, is displayed on their website. Please review this information for accuracy. Township Assessor Contact Information: Office Address: Phone Number: Website:

If after reviewing the assessment with your assessor’s office, you are still not satisfied, then contact the Board of Review at 630-407-5888 for an appeal form and a copy of their rules OR visit their web site at www.dupageco.org/SOA/. There is an appeal deadline. You must file your appeal within 30 days of the assessment publication date.
