Big changes coming in DuPage County Recently, my children’s grammar school, Emerson Elementary, nominated its newest immigrant students – children still in touch with their heritage – to be leads on a “Cultures Collide” project. It was a great example of how we in DuPage County are discovering new strength in our growing diversity. Seventeen countries were represented by the student leaders. Those kids were the experts – no matter their language ability, test scores or family income. As group leaders, they were a part of creating multimedia presentations and sharing key cultural items. COMMUNITY They radiated confidence VOICE and success in a day built to Elizabeth showcase their background as Higgins an asset. So much was accomplished through this project, most importantly a demonstration of our global citizenship. As the Senior Program Director for People’s Resource Centers Empowerment Programs, I have the privilege of getting to know the parents of many of my children’s immigrant classmates. Our new neighbors are an amalgam of backgrounds – professionals who have been hit by the recession; families seeking good schools, safe streets and a sense of belonging; newly arrived residents with refugee status and unimaginable experiences requiring determination and perseverance. Many of these neighbors are taking steps to better their lives through help from organizations such as PRC. They are learning English and improving their computer skills. They are completing their GED and seeking employment to support their families. Clearly there is a need to do even more. By 2020, DuPage County is estimated to have no ethnic majority. By 2043, it is estimated the U.S. will be a nation with a minority majority. DuPage is undergoing a dramatic shift ahead of our nation’s trends, with our schools and nonprofit agencies being at the front line in welcoming new neighbors. People’s Resource Center is often contacted as a local voice regarding “cul-de-sac” poverty: the fact that in Chicagoland and other metro areas, more people are now living below the poverty line in suburban communities rather than in urban centers. We’ve long been a nation of English Language Learners starting off with few resources; a country where the American Dream is built on an abundance of hope, grit and dreams for our children of a better life. As we go forward as a community, let us come together doing what we’ve done so well for so long. Let us find room at the table for all, despite our differences. Let us utilize our strengths as neighbors to help within our schools, within our nonprofit networks, within our community.

Elizabeth Higgins is senior director of programs at People’s Resource Center.

SRAM representative Tom Zurawski talks to Hadley students at the first ever Project i event Feb. 27.

Thumbs up to students from the Glenbard West High School S.T.E.M. Club, which organized the “Project i” event at Hadley Junior High recently, bringing in representatives from companies such as Google, Nicor Gas and Fermilab. It’s important that local students are aware of all the possibilities of careers in science, technology, engineering and math. This could be a thumbs down to whomever it was that shot a bald eagle in Oak Lawn, but we’d rather salute the folks at Willowbrook Wildlife Center who rescued it and nursed it back to health. Thanks to their efforts, the eagle is expected to make a full recovery.

we’re not working in the summer. That is money we already earned during the regular school year. You think teachers are paid a lot? No. Maybe the superintendents and the administration, not the teachers. We spend thousands of dollars going to college and still are paying back student loans. If you read this, thank a teacher. You couldn’t do it without them. You couldn’t be a doctor or a lawyer or any other high profession, without your teachers – elementary, middle school, high school or college level. You are educated because of them.

I’m appalled Shaw Media would endorse Bruce Rauner for the Republican governor nominee. He’s independently wealthy, yes he is. He’s got no problem accepting tons of money from his wealthy friends whom he plans to bring down with him to Springfield to pad the company coffers they all have interests in. Also, “standing up the powerful public employees unions who have resisted change” – that is a wrong statement. They resist change meaning they don’t want budgets, balanced off the backs of stealing their pensions. It’s ridiculous. This man lives in the 1 percent wealthy tax bracket. He has no idea how everybody else lives. Just because he was a successful businessman means nothing about running a government and compromise. It’s his way or the highway. It doesn’t work.

Q&A | DUPAGE COUNTY BOARD DISTRICT 4

Candidates talk drugs, stormwater In preparation for the March 18 primary election, Suburban Life Media contacted local candidates to gauge their views on various issues.

Below are the responses received from Republicans Ronald Almiron, Grant Eckhoff and Paula McGowen and Democrats Jeremy Custer and

Moon Khan are running in the Democratic race for DuPage County Board District 4.

Grant Eckhoff (incumbent)

Paula McGowen

Age: 54 Town: Wheaton

Age: 60 Town: Glen Ellyn

Why are you running for re-election? Eckhoff: I want to continue to make a positive impact in DuPage County by being proactive in resolving issues that affect our lives. As the chairman of the Judicial Public Safety Committee, my main issues are low taxes, consolidation of government, heroin education to reduce its use and the number of overdoses, treating the mentally ill and preparation for catastrophic events.

Why are you running for election? McGowen: I’m running for election ... because I believe there’s a leadership void on the County Board, in light of the fact that heroin overdose deaths had to reach record levels before the board took any action. My opponent as the chairman of a drug subcommittee, which I had been appointed to, dissolved it after one meeting over six years ago. The old adage is “if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.”

- Suburban Life Media

REPUBLICANS

Ronald Almiron Age: 47 Town: Wheaton Why are you running for election? Almiron: District 4 needs new leadership on the County Board. Many county residents I’ve spoken with are dissatisfied with the lack of responsiveness to their needs. I am not burdened with tending to all the special interests and political connections accumulated over 10 years in this office. District 4 voters are dissatisfied with establishment politics. I’m the only candidate offering a fresh perspective and conservative approach to decision making that puts individuals and families first. What’s the biggest issue facing your district, and how will you address it if elected? Almiron: Voters want fairness and value for their tax dollar. I want to make sure the highest quality services are offered to the county residents efficiently. I will take the current consolidation effort one step further. I will explore outsourcing and privatization of certain services to lessen spending while saving more money for the District 4 taxpayer.

What’s the biggest issue facing your district, and how will you address it if elected? Eckhoff: Since 2009, I have worked to advance the issue of lower taxes through the consolidation of government, starting with fire protection districts. Economic issues are requiring agencies to focus on consolidation as a way to continue to deliver essential county services at the lowest tax rate. Second, I have spearheaded the County Board’s efforts to respond to the heroin epidemic as reported by our county-wide elected officials.

What’s the biggest issue facing your district, and how will you address it if elected? McGowen: One of the biggest issues facing my district is stormwater. We have to be prepared for the worst-case scenario with improved stormwater runoff and retention facilities. The County Board had a stormwater fee legislated against all DuPage property owners, schools, churches ... etc., without a voters referendum. ... Who will be bearing the brunt of all these fees? Before collecting fees we need to first determine what will be the fix, if any.

Q&A

In preparation for the March 18 primary election, Suburban Life Media contacted local candidates to gauge their views on various issues. Below is the response received from Kevin Wiley, who is running against Erica Lynne Sutton and Valerie Ann Bruggeman in the Republican race for DuPage County Board District 6. Sutton and Bruggeman didn’t respond to our questionnaire before print deadline.

Jeremy Custer

Moon Khan

Age: 25 Town: Glendale Heights

Age: 59 Town: Lombard

Why are you running for election? Custer: As chief of staff to Sen. [Tom] Cullerton, I work on the front lines of delivering vital services and resolving issues for the residents and municipalities of DuPage County. While most ... issues I assist with are non-problematic and easy to resolve, there are times when that is not always the case [prompting] the inevitable question ... “Why does government work this way?” My main goal ... will be to lead on reforms and initiatives that ensure this question is never asked again.

Why are you running for election? Khan: Having engaged in the neighborhood as a community activist for over 25 years, got elected twice as York Township Trustee, served on several local municipal and civic bodies, raised my family from scratch and also worked for two DuPage County agencies, I know the problems and I can also resolve them. Saving money for taxpayers is my mission, and it can be achieved by believing in “less is more.” The county should centralize the HR, purchasing, accounting and IT functions of its autonomous bodies, and implement its proposed consolidation plans faster.

What’s the biggest issue facing your district, and how will you address it if elected? Custer: Economic development is something the county should be leading on to help our businesses and position our municipalities to close out the decade better than it started. As the nation and state slowly come out of the depths of the worst economic cycle since the Great Depression, it is imperative that DuPage County be a regional leader in moving our economy forward. Investing infrastructure, recruiting and retaining businesses, and being an advocate for tax policies that help residents and businesses will be my main priority.

What’s the biggest issue facing your district, and how will you address it if elected? Khan: Selecting one issue will be an injustice to numerous other problems. Issues like growing epidemic of drug use, especially heroin among youth, existence of numerous obsolete agencies, duplication of services, flooding and stormwater, lack of public transport and nonrepresentation of Asians, Hispanics, and African Americans on the County Board and committees, deserve equal and immediate attention. Having raised a youth through public schools, I know that the drug problem needs a multipronged approach.

Primary elections When: Tuesday Where: To find your polling place, visit shawurl.com/11ap.

Kevin Wiley Age: 53 Town: West Chicago Why are you running for election? Wiley: I believe the county government needs to transform itself into more effective advocates for our community. We need to make every citizens’ experience with DuPage County easy and reliable in ways that will leave them feeling that we are proactive, personal and empathetic servants to the community. What’s the biggest issue facing your district, and how will you address it if elected? Wiley: The key issues are unemployment, underemployment and excessive flooding. These are the direct result of high taxes and an ineffective public process. I will: A. Fight to lower your county taxes, which are currently the 23rd highest of any county in the U.S. B. Attack the root causes of our county’s flooding issues instead of just throwing money at them. C. Protect your property rights. D. Pursue policies that promote business development and job creation.

book to write the book.” Harris came up with many

of the ideas for the novel in 2012, and after retiring in 2013, he spent the year writing on and off. “I wrote the book as much for myself as I did for anybody else,” he said. After earning a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Marquette University and a master’s degree in business administration from DePaul University, Harris spent many years in the consulting business. Some of his work was with the American Medical Association and involved developing the first U.S. online medical information network. He also edited a publication that physicians are mandated to use to report professional medical procedures and services for medical insurance claims. His editing background extends to many biomedical and computer medical journals, giving him experience in the world of writing. Harris was introduced to nanotechnology, which plays

a key role in his book, when he worked for the DuPage County Health Department. Nanotechnology is science, engineering and technology conducted at the nanoscale. It involves the ability to see and control individual atoms and molecules, according to the National Nanotechnology Initiative’s website. One nanometer is a billionth of a meter. The chemical warfare weapon featured in Harris’ book involves applying nanotechnology to a nerve agent, which he said could be done in reality. Other background that proved helpful in writing “The Resurrection Protocol” include Harris’ time in the military during the 1960s and his third-degree black belt in Hapkido karate. Harris also used the expertise of friends to help with the accuracy of his book. Marjory Eskay-Auerbach, an orthopedic surgeon, factchecked the book to make sure the medical content was correct. She said everything

central to the plot is plausible, but gave Harris more artistic license for elements included for entertainment. A longtime friend of Harris, Eskay-Auerbach said the book complements his background, making it much more scientific that most of its genre. “I think it’s great,” Eskay-Auerbach said. “I think for as long as I’ve known him, it fits with his personality and the people he knows.” “The Resurrection Protocol” is available on Amazon, both in print and as a digital version for Kindle. A booksigning for the novel will be Saturday at The Bookstore in downtown Glen Ellyn. So far, Harris has received positive feedback from those close to him and from readers who have reviewed it on Amazon. Harris designed his debut novel so that it could lead into a series, and he’s ready for the new adventure. “Old guys can do things, too,” Harris said with a laugh.

GLEN ELLYN – Seventy years old might sound like an unusual age to begin a career as an author, but for Glen Ellyn resident Dan Harris, it was the perfect time. Those years under Harris’ belt provide him with a unique background that has helped him pen the story of a National Security Agency operator seeking to solve the mystery behind a deadly new chemical weapon. “The Resurrection Protocol” is an action-packed thriller centered on agent Jake Ankyer, with a plot that weaves the dangers of a weapon of mass destruction with surprising discoveries indicating Saddam Hussein is still alive. “I didn’t write the book to try to make money,” said Harris, who authored the novel under the pen name “D.K. Harris.” “That was not my interest at all. I wanted to write the

Parkside Apartments sale to bring rent increases, renovations By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Changes are on the horizon for residents of Glen Ellyn’s Parkside Apartments, after the complex was purchased Feb. 25 for $6.9 million by Chicago-based firm Windy City RE. Parkside’s 500 tenants have had a tumultuous year. The eight buildings north of Roosevelt Road between Main Street and Parkside Avenue, which contain 120 total units, were removed from a tax increment financing district on Roosevelt Road during summer 2013, after residents expressed concerns the district would attract a new development to replace the apartments. More recently, worries surfaced surrounding the complex’s sale. Many of Parkside’s renters are immigrants or refugees,and keeping the units affordable is essential to maintaining the apartments’ existing community, said resident Matthew Soerens, who works for the humanitarian organization World Relief. But Soerens needn’t worry, said Windy City co-owner Josh-

ua Rubenstein. “The plan is to raise the standard of living of the tenants who are currently there,” he said. “We’re definitely not trying to displace them.” Windy City specializes in distressed apartment buildings, Rubenstein said, adding Parkside’s current rents are below market rate and the property is in need of renovation. Soerens pays $950 for his two-bedroom apartment, he said. Six months ago, he rented a one-bedroom for $750. Rubenstein estimated the firm will spend more than $1 million on improvements to the complex. Windy City intends to address safety issues at Parkside, he said, improving rusty staircases, removing garbage from communal areas and landscaping them, and performing routine maintenance neglected in recent years. Tenants can expect a rent increase as their leases expire, Rubenstein said, but not by more than 5 percent. Soerens is aware of the anticipated raise in rent, he said, but has consistently seen annual increases at Parkside in the past.

“Everything that we’ve heard so far has been pretty encouraging,” he said. “Of course we welcome improvements to the neighborhood and to the complex.” As residents move out, Rubenstein said, Windy City will renovate units in pace with organic turnover. Updated apartments will include new tiling, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and light and plumbing fixtures, he said. The units will rent at $900 for a one-bedroom and $1,200 to $1,300 for a two-bedroom. Parkside tenants did not receive official notification of the renovations, Soerens said, but Windy City’s management has spoken openly with residents about the changes. Rubenstein anticipates the transition to be gradual but projects the majority of work will be completed within two years, depending on tenant turnover. The apartments were previously owned by Wadie Ashamalla, Wagih Nessim and Mary Aboutar, who did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Bringing Pharmaceutical Science to Your Health From Bob Listecki, Pharmacist

Pharmacist Bob Listecki was recently published about improved thyroid patient outcomes delivering a physiologic T4:T3 ratio

New survey finds the top 10 fittest baby boomer cities

Many of these symptoms are found in people who’s thyroid doesn’t function properly.

n the past, older Americans may have accepted weight gain and reduced mobility as part of aging, but not so for baby boomers. As part of the Fit After 50 campaign, the American Physical Therapy Association and MoveForwardPT.com named the Top 10 Fittest Baby Boomer Cities in America. Where does your city fall? The survey “examined the top 50 metropolitan areas in the U.S. to determine which cities were best suited to helping baby boomers stay healthy and fit as they age,” said Erin Wendel, senior media relations specialist with the American Physical Therapy Association. Criteria included life expectancy, cardiovascular health and stress levels of boomers, as well as local health care and fitness resources. The fittest cities are: 1. San Jose, Calif. 2. Minneapolis 3. San Francisco 4. Denver 5. Boston 6. Salt Lake City 7. Washington, D.C. 8. Seattle 9. San Diego 10. Raleigh, N.C. It seems where you live really can affect your health. “Boomers who live in the fittest baby boomer cities have access to a variety of resources that can have a distinct impact on their health, but they only make a difference if they are used,” said Wendel. The survey found significant differences between the fittest and least fit cities -- Louisville, Ky., ranked No. 50. “The largest differences we saw between one and 50 were the percentage of people diagnosed with hypertension (47.3 percent in San Jose and 63.4 percent in Louisville, a difference of more than 16 percent); life expectancy (82.48 years in San Jose and 77.03 years in Louisville, a difference of more than five years); and the percentage of people ages 50-65 with health insurance (91.8 percent in San Jose and 85.1 percent in Louisville, a difference of 6.7 percent),” Wendel said. The fittest cities allow boomers the opportunity to keep moving as they age. “Parks, gyms and mass transit options in a city offer the opportunity for baby boomers to stay in motion, which physical therapists will tell you is the best way to stay young and fit,” Wendel said. The survey found some surprises as well. “We were a bit surprised by some of the cities in the top 10. We thought for sure we’d see one to two cities in Florida, due to the retirement population there, but we were wrong,” Wendel said. “When you consider baby boomers are redefining what it means to age and are typically still working and leading active, healthy lifestyles, and when you examine all of the factors that played a role in determining the list, the top 10 cities make sense.”

you know someone who has a thyroid problem. Thyroid problems are often misdiagnosed and mis-treated...and women are affected most. This may sound familiar. Your labs come back “Normal” and yet you still feel tired, achy, cold, depressed and mentally sluggish. You may even be on thyroid hormone replacement and still have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Worst of all it’s difficult to get anyone to listen to you. So now what do you do? For the last four years, Dr. Susan Kelenyi, of Glen Ellyn, IL, has been working almost exclusively with women who suffer from thyroid symptoms yet their lab tests are normal. “My practice consists mainly of women who have no where else to go. They are tired, frustrated, don’t sleep well, and overweight”, she says “What most doctors don’t understand is that close to 90% of thyroid cases are actually autoimmune in nature. The condition is called Hashimoto’s Disease and it is often missed in diagnosis.” Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition (your immune system actually destroys your thyroid gland). Medical treatment often ignores the underlying immune problem and simply replaces thyroid hormone by tracking TSH levels. According to Dr. Kelenyi, this is a shortsighted approach. “Too many people still have ongoing symptoms in spite of normal TSH levels. Why? Because the underlying immune problem is not being addressed. There is no method in the medicine today that addresses Hashimoto’s other than hormone replacement for your thyroid. This is where Dr. Kelenyi steps in. As a chiropractor with an advanced specialty in Functional Medicine and clinical nutrition, she is able to perform specific metabolic tests to determine what areas of the body are deficient or over reacting. Many of these tests could be performed by their MD but they don’t perform them. “The problem is two-fold, says Kelenyi. “First, the insurance companies don’t typically pay for many of the tests and secondly, the medical model doesn’t support the answers we get from many of the tests. For example, we look at women’s adrenal (stress) glands with a salivary test and supplement with powerful botanicals in order to restore function. There are currently no drugs that help the adrenals work better.” Why is a chiropractor treating thyroid disease? Dr. Kelenyi emphasizes that she is not treating the disease. “That’s what their MD is for.” she says. “The medications can be life savers and women should not take themselves off them. It’s my job to help modulate the thyroid gland and their immune system nutritionally through a Functional Medicine approach. Functional Medicine includes a lab based approach, integrating natural therapies that include lifestyle changes, to address a wide variety of chronic health problems. What is it that Dr. Kelenyi is doing differently than your local endocrinologist? She says that food is a big part of it. She finds that gluten can be a detrimental food for women with thyroid disease. “We now know there are proteins in gluten that cause inflammation in people with thyroid disease. But more importantly there are many other foods that can act like gluten in causing inflammation. We test for those foods with very accurate testing and can tell you what you should or should not be eating.” Our solutions are non-drug, non surgical approaches, that are research based and based on prior clinical success. She says it is a very rewarding way of practicing. “I am one of only 400 chiropractors in the nation addressing imbalances in this manner, so we get chronically ill people coming from all over the Chicagoland area, even out of state, to our clinic. The most important thing for these patients is results. We get results.”

• DEGREES Continued from page 6 need not be a deterrent. Community colleges that have implemented four-year programs in the past have charged more for bachelor’s courses, and priced associate’s classes the same way they had been previously, according to Vice President of Information Technology Charles Currier. Bente said he didn’t think offering bachelor’s degrees would drive up salaries. He also said that while many four-year institutions don’t want to add applied science degrees because of the cost, College of DuPage already has the staff, faculty and facilities to offer some bachelor’s programs. Doing so could produce a more able local workforce, he said. President Robert Breuder said College of DuPage experiences the potential of losing students who leave the area to pursue four-year degrees elsewhere. For example, the only option in the state where a student can obtain a bachelor’s degree in public automotive technology is at Southern Illinois University

in Carbondale, administrators said. Currently, it is not legal for community colleges in Illinois to offer four-year degrees, according to Breuder. In order for that to change, an institution would have to provide an impetus for community colleges to offer such programs, he said. College of DuPage is the state’s largest community college, and Breuder said it could fulfill such a role. An effort to allow community colleges to expand their offerings would not be successful, he said, without the support of the Illinois Community College Board and the Illinois Community College Trustees Association. Breuder led a push to legalize bachelor’s degrees at community colleges when he was president of Harper College several years ago. Today, 22 states have authorized limited four-year programs for community colleges, Breuder said, and he hopes to see Illinois join their ranks in the next two years. “I think this discussion, this whole idea of offering bachelor’s degrees, is critical,” said trustee Nancy Svoboda.

8LETTERS Glen Ellyn has impassable If the village doesn’t have the funds to provide such service, at sidewalks this winter To the Editor: I’d like to know why my village (Glen Ellyn) doesn’t seem to care, plan or budget to ensure free pedestrian movement within the village during the winter. Many other Chicago suburbs clear both business and residential sidewalks of snow using their village equipment as part of government responsibility to the community. But not Glen Ellyn.

least an ordinance should be on the books requiring this of businesses and homeowners. This is true in other nearby villages. There’s currently a Glen Ellyn bicycle initiative underway to address better bicycle access within the village. I wonder why the ongoing inability of pedestrians to have similar free movement during the winter isn’t taken as seriously by the village? Why is

consideration not given to school children who walk to school and are unable to do so without risk?

I completed my undergraduate studies at Stanford University and have since lived and worked in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Mporokoso, Zambia.

I am thinking about this as a very simple investment decision: If the referendum passes, my life goes on with no cost increases and our schools get better. If the referendum fails, I pocket about $70 per year in reduced taxes, while our teachers and high-schoolers continue to deal with aging infrastructure and inadequate learning facilities. I have tried and failed to think of what I would do with $70 that would deter me from supporting this effort: A couple nosebleed seats at a Bulls game? A dinner for four? A trip to the grocery store? Even investing the money would not yield a convincing return.

Q: A:

Ask a Pro

Without having much of a technical background, is there anything pertaining to my plumbing system that I should check periodically as a precaution?

Q: How much vitamin D do I need and how can I get it?

Although the majority of the plumbing system within a typical residential home is typically concealed, there are certainly plenty of areas that a novice can quickly assess.

Every faucet, toilet and appliance must have a shut of valve that can easily be turned of in case of an emergency. here should also be a valve that shuts of the main water supply to the home as well as to the water heater. You will want to make sure that the valves all shut completely of before an emergency occurs. Faucets should be easy to operate and free from leakage. Drains in the home should all keep up with the low of the ixture it is serving, without any water backing up.

A: Mike Borowski Vice President

Toilets should be irmly set in place and not rock or move with any body weight or pressure applied side to side. Flooring around tiles should be irm and not buckled, uneven, or discolored. You will want to check for leakage from the tank to the bowl by dropping a few drops of dye into tank. If the color appears in bowl, there is a leak and it is costing you money. he toilet should lush easily without any hesitation or back up or any particular “technique”. Look for staining on walls and ceilings and line up with plumbing in related areas. Grout and caulk in between tile tub and shower surrounds should not be discolored and intact. Visually inspect around water heater for signs of leakage. If your home has a sump pump, make sure the standing water level is below the inlet of the pit and make sure that discharge outside allows water to freely drain away from the home. If there is a battery back-up system, look for weak battery charge light indicators.

A licensed, professional plumber can assist you with any of these items as well as provide you with a more comprehensive inspection, including water quality testing.

Current literature from grassrootshealth.net (located at the University of California San Diego) shows the new healthy level upon testing to be in the range of 40 to 60 ng/ml of 25OH D. 80% of the world’s population are below 30.

signify different meanings and you should avoid certain colors. The colored squares on the crimps of toothpaste tubes are there for a reason, but not the reason that some people think. This is yet another Internet-circulated consumer tip that supposedly provides useful information about a common class of product by revealing data that is available only to those “in the know” who are cognizant of where to look for hidden indicators and how to interpret them. And as is typical of such tips, the claim about what these indicators supposedly reveal is completely wrong. According to this bit of online lore, the Charise M. Petrelli DDS colored squares or rectangular bars found on the crimp at the closed end of toothpaste tubes signify the composition of the product contained therein: whether its ingredients are “natural” or “chemical,” and whether the toothpaste includes “medicine.” (These terms are really too vague to be useful, as even “natural” products are made up of “chemicals,” and “medicine” is too non-specific a term to be informative.) In reality, the colored squares on the crimps of toothpaste tubes have nothing to do with the formulation of the toothpaste inside. They are actually an artifact of the manufacturing process known as “eye marks” or “color marks,” printed marks that can be read by light beam sensors and typically identify where product packaging is to be cut or folded as connected units stream through machinery at high speed. The colors of eye mark registers are not limited to the ones mentioned above (and may not necessarily be visible on the finished product), and the different colors simply signify different types of packaging or different types of sensors. The best way to ascertain the composition of a given brand of toothpaste is by reading the ingredients information printed on the toothpaste box and/or tube. For the best (630) 942-0727 recommendation on toothpaste brand and/or composition that are right for your www.glenellyndentistry.com mouth ask your dentist or hygienist at your next visit.

tion by rounding their bill up to the nearest dollar or giving to a donation canister in the store. “The concept behind the Firehouse Subs was a little bit different than some of the other places that we have, so we’re really looking forward to that,” Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Georgia Koch said. Another reason Tyrrell said she wanted to establish a Firehouse in Glen Ellyn is because the village is in the rare position of having an all-volunteer fire company, which she thought might especially benefit from the foundation. Tyrrell has a license to start five Firehouse locations in the area. Her second restaurant will open later this year in Oak Lawn.

GLEN ELLYN – The first time Barbara Tyrrell visited Glen Ellyn, it was to attend the annual Cardboard Regatta on Lake Ellyn. She knew immediately she wanted to bring a business to the village. And so she did on Monday, with the grand opening of Illinois’ eighth Firehouse Subs location at 279 Roosevelt Road. “There was a really good community feel,” said Tyrrell, when asked what drew her to Glen Ellyn. “I liked that.” The Oakbrook resident, who has decades of experience in the restaurant industry, hopes her store will contribute to that community.

Firehouse will do more than host charity events, however. In addition to bringing 20 jobs to Glen Ellyn, the restaurant chain has a Public Safety Foundation that provides funding, equipment and education opportunities for local first responders.

Changarro adds bright notes to Mexican fusion WEST CHICAGO – Celebrating Mexican dishes on its own food pyramid with unexpected fusion twists is Changarro Cocina, a hidden gem in West Chicago well worth seeking out. Like its stylized Aztec bird logo, it has a semi-hidden perch along Route 59 on the overpass above Roosevelt Road, tucked on the west side of a modern commercial building. Inside the minimalist modern space is a tequila bar at the ready for Margaritas, Spanish wines and imported beer. Cocktails regularly are reinvented, and the menu shakes itself up with new specials like the recent duck confit tacos, pairing the French recipe with a Brazilian corn salsa. But friends had recommended the grilled tilapia and guacamole tacos topped with threads of lime-infused red cabbage for a burst of bright flavor. It was delicious, and I’m just hoping the duck will be back on the menu soon for another visit. A Chicago TV spot recently focused on Changarro’s chicken enchilada soup, and I second the recommendation. I split a cup with my dining companion, discovering it to be a richly complex concoction of chicken, garlic, onions, sizzled corn, cheese and lusciously giant slices of ripe avocado in chicken stock flavored with enchilada sauce. It’s just mildly spicy, which suited me to a tee on a snowy night. The casual dining room feels airy with a high, industrial style ceiling, and warm color palette, with one wall accented with a straight line of luchador wrestling masks. In the evening, the tables are linen covered. Our server was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable about which dishes are vegetarian. The menu also pinpoints gluten-free items. Launching the meal were complimentary chips and two wonderful salsas, including a creamy salsa verde with great

Hilltoppers hang tough Glenbard West boys rebound from departure of leading scorer By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – When news broke in November that leading scorer Keith Hayes was moving back to Arkansas, Glenbard West’s boys basketball season could have gone one of two ways. Rather than feel sorry for themselves, the Hilltoppers chose to compete and finished the campaign with a very respectable mark of 14-14 despite featuring a younger roster. “All the kids thought in terms of the point-production loss,” Glenbard West coach Tim Hoder said. “But there was also some opportunities for themselves as individuals. And they had confidence in themselves as group. We played all summer without Keith so it wasn’t like, ‘What do we do now?’ “Overall, the season was good in terms of we had some seniors step up and we had some underclassmen get a lot of experience. The only real negative was Reid Colliander didn’t get to have much of a senior year [due to injury and sickness].” A large share of credit must be heaped on senior Corey Davis, who was in his third year on the varsity. “He contributed in every aspect of the game,” Hoder said. “He’s not just a point guard

who get assists, he scored, he defended and he rebounded. Most importantly, he got the ball to other kids and created shots for them.” Will Reedy, Max Montgomery and Abdulla Alzamli (along with Colliander) rounded out the senior class. “They brought a great attitude,” the coach said, “and they made a commitment to basketball. It’s really important to have a core group of guys who are committed to your program. They kept showing up and they kept battling. They stuck with it.” The Hilltoppers will return a nice core next year in juniors Kalen Starkey and Aidan Gould and sophomores Brian Cochrane, Justin Pierce and Alex Passi. “The three sophomores were able to get a lot of playing time this year,” Hoder said, “and we also had some junior kids who got a lot of experience. They got a lot of opportunities to get in games and improve and that’s a real positive. “The biggest thing, our younger kids have to get stronger. I know they will play a lot of basketball and I know their skills will improve. We have to get in the weight room and [also] hope they fill out a little bit. They also have to step up and take leadership roles Erica Benson - ebenson@shawmedia.com because Corey has been that Glenbard West’s Will Reedy goes up for a shot March 4 in a playoff game against Morton.

Glenbard South’s Chaun Rickette looks to pass the ball March 4 during a Class 3A regional game against host Kaneland. Rickette and the Raiders fell 81-70 to end their season.

Ending doesn’t tarnish season for South boys By SCOTT SCHMID GLEN ELLYN – Alex Jeske and Chaun Rickette first became teammates on the hardcourt in seventh grade at Glen Crest Middle School and have been linked every since. This winter, the duo closed their high school careers at Glenbard South by leading the Raiders to a final record of 1612. “I thought we had a pretty good season,” Jeske said. “The way our coaches talked about it, we had a few close games here and there that could have changed our season either way. The guys came together, and I thought that at the end, we were playing good basketball.” Glenbard South, which ended the 2013-14 season with an 81-70 loss to Kaneland in a regional semifinal, did in fact lose seven games by 10 or fewer points, including four by four points or fewer. The Raiders went 9-3 in the Metro Suburban Conference, finishing in second place behind champion Riverside Brookfield.

“The guys came together, and I thought that at the end, we were playing good basketball.”

Rickette averaged 22 points per game and added 2.2 steals per contest. Jeske was next at 15 points per outing while shooting 82.3 percent from the free throw line. “Chaun is a dynamic scorer,” Jeske said. “He is a really quick guy and he can get into the lane. The two of us tried to do our best to lead the team.” Along with Jeske and Rickette, John Marks, Mark Murbach, Connor Willis, Gabe Williams and Jake Haras have also played their final basketball game in a Raiders’ uniform. “The seniors are a great group of guys,” Jeske said. “We played all four years together and we bonded and became great friends. We made a lot of good memories on the court.”

Wheaton Academy falls short SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Wheaton Academy’s boys basketball team came up a few points short of a regional title Friday, falling 59-56 to Sycamore in the championship game of the Class 3A Genoa-Kingston regional. The game went into the fourth quarter with the scored tied at 45-45, but the Spartans got it done from the free throw line down the stretch, going a perfect 8-for-8 over the last eight minutes. Gordon Behr and Josh Ruggles had 16 points apiece to lead the Warriors. Wheaton Academy, which

finished the season with a 20-9 record, advanced to the regional final after notching a come-from-behind 45-44 win against Burlington Central on March 5. Trailing the entire contest, Christian Smith’s basket with 16 seconds left turned out to be the game-winner, and Behr then blocked a shot with one second remaining to preserve the victory. Behr finished with 15 points and Evan Williams also checked into double figures with 10 against Burlington Central.

St. Francis

An extended playoff run wasn’t in the cards this year for the Spartans, who lost 73-57 to Suburban Christian conference foe Marmion in a semifinal game at the Class 3A Kaneland regional March 5. Kilian Brown topped St. Francis with 21 points, Jason Sullivan finished with 14 and Zach Prociuk added 12. The two teams had split their two regular season meetings with the Spartans winning 46-42 Dec. 6 before falling to the Cadets 59-53 Jan. 24. St. Francis finished the season with a 15-10 record.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Glenbard South Senior | Basketball Why Jeske was selected: Jeske finished his three-year varsity basketball career at Glenbard South by averaging 15 points per game this winter. How much will you miss the sport going forward? It will be really hard. Now that I’m going to be playing football in college and not playing basketball anymore, I’m going to miss it. But I’m never going to stop playing, I will be playing pick-up games. But it will be hard to not play it competitively.

What will you be doing this spring? I usually play AAU basketball in the spring and summer but now I’m going to be training and lifting and working out for football. I gave myself one day off and now I’m back into the weightroom.

How would you sum up your three-year varsity basketball career?

How did the Dayton opportunity come about?

There is nothing I can complain about. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed every moment. From sophomore year to now, I grew a lot and it was a great experience playing.

Their coaches came to our school in late December. We started talking and I went on an official visit. I loved the campus and I loved the coaches and I feel it is a great fit for me.

After leading Glenbard South to an undefeated regular season on the gridiron, Alex Jeske stepped right onto the basketball court this winter for his third varsity campaign. Ending the season as the team’s second-leading scorer behind Chaun Rickette, the senior guard helped the Raiders to a final record of 16-12. Jeske, the Glen Ellyn Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke to Suburban Life sports reporter Scott Schmid about the end of his basketball career and what’s next for him as he gets ready to play football at Dayton.

The Glen Crest Middle School eighth grade boys basketball team won the DuPage Metro Valley Association conference championship with a 12-2 record this season. The squad finished 16-3 overall and captured the consolation championship at the Jay Stream Tournament.

“Whenever these guys were challenged they responded,” Glen Crest coach Dan Sheridan said. “This was a very close-knit team that really jelled together from the first day of practice.” As a team, the Spartans averaged 49 points per game and scored 60 or more points on three different occasions.

THE CHEVY OPEN HOUSE EVENT GOING ON NOW!

D-41 approves $15M facilities project By NICK SWEDBERG msleditorial@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Glen Ellyn School District 41 is pushing ahead with plans to add to its elementary schools as part of a $15 million facilities project. District 41’s Board of Education approved building additions totaling about 27,000 square feet at a meeting Monday night. The undertaking will add four classrooms and extra space to each elementary school during the next two years. The vote acts as a figurative starting pistol for the district’s construction effort to address a lack of facility space. “We did vet this out seven different ways to Sunday and felt it was the best recommendation for the community as a board,” board member Patrick Escalante said. While praising the plan, several board members acknowledged that the elemen-

for third-grade class sizes was 23.

“This isn’t about getting the perfect plan. It’s about getting a good plan and moving forward.”

Frozen fees Dean Elger Board member

tary school construction won’t completely address all concerns, including a mandate to eliminate portable classrooms. “This isn’t about getting the perfect plan,” board member Dean Elger said. “It’s about getting a good plan and moving forward.” The board also approved a $4.48 million bid from FQC Construction Management for additions at Lincoln and Franklin schools, in addition to site and storm water work at Forest Glen. The bid included an estimated $194,730 in roofing work at Lincoln. Another estimated $985,000 was approved in a separate vote for professional services

from FGM Architects related to design and construction work for the elementary school additions. The school district will spend about $15 million on the construction project. Funding will come from three sources. A $7 million loan that will be repaid across 15 years will cover a large portion of the costs. Board members said they were able to secure a good interest rate on the loan. Another $7 million will go into the construction fund from the district’s reserve. The remaining money, about $1 million, will be pulled from its operating funds.

New class sizes An approved change to the size of classes in District 41 will most impact second-graders, according to school officials. The District 41 board passed recommendations Monday night to adjust class sizes in two grade levels for the 2014-15 school year. School officials currently target class sizes for second-grade students to range from 20 to 22, according to the district figures. Next year, targets for students in the second and third grades will range from 22 to 25. Previously, the lower end

Student fees at District 41 schools will not increase for the 2014-15 school year. Basic fees for early childhood and kindergarten run $56 per year. Elementary school fees cost $75, while junior high fees are priced at $115. Activity fees range from $30 for the first fee to $3.75 for the fourth fee. The district collects about $235,000 in basic and activity fees in a school year, which offsets the costs for learning materials, athletic coaches and sponsors. Board of Education President Sam Black reiterated his objections to the fees, calling them a “revenue generator.” “As a taxpayer, I feel that the district can find other ways to generate revenue,” he said.

COD performance hall renamed to honor Belushi brothers, Jim, John SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA GLEN ELLYN – The 800seat performance hall at the McAninch Arts Center at College of DuPage will be renamed the “Belushi Performance Hall” in honor of alumni John and Jim Belushi, according to a college news release. President Robert Breuder announced the renaming Saturday after a benefit performance by Jim Belushi and the Board of Comedy. Born and raised in Wheaton, both John and Jim attended College of DuPage, the release states. “I’ve never really had any-

thing like this,” Jim said in the release. “For an improviser, I have nothing to say. It’s sweet, thoughtful, generous and kind, and that’s what I’ve always received at College of DuPage.” Jim has donated or raised more than $330,000 over the years for student scholarships and art center programs, in addition to the nearly $380,000 yielded by Saturday’s MAC’s Grand Opening MAC Madness Celebration Benefit, according to the release. “Through your generosity, you have changed lives of the students in this community,” Breuder said in the release. Jim created The John Be-

lushi Scholarship Fund with The Second City in 1983 to honor the memory of his brother, the release states. The fund provides recipients with full tuition and fees at College of DuPage, and is available to theater and music students. He also established the Belushi Artist-in-Residence Fund, which pays for artists’ extended stays on campus. The McAninch Arts Center recently underwent a 14-month, $35 million renovation funded as part of the $168 million referendum passed by District 502 voters in November 2010, according to the release. Work on the center was completed in December 2013.

COD may offer bachelor’s degrees By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – College of DuPage is discussing the possibility of offering four-year degrees in the near future. The benefits and detriments of expanding college programs to include bachelor’s degrees were among several topics addressed at a Board of Trustees meeting March 6. “Higher levels of education are becoming prerequisite for many jobs,” said Vice President of Planning and Institutional Effectiveness James Bente. College officials cited programs in the applied sciences, such as automotive technology, manufacturing, industrial management, computer information and systems technologies as potential four-year options. “The reality is, if you real-

ly want to get into leadership roles in those areas … things like a bachelor’s of applied science degree is very needed these days,” Bente said. However, trustees expressed concern that adding four-year degrees could affect the college’s mid-level marketplace position and drive up its prices. “I think that we need to be concerned, not only for mission creep, but also for price creep,” said Vice Chairman Kathy Hamilton. At $144 per credit hour, College of DuPage is the second most expensive community college in the state, according to Vice President for Marketing and Communications Joe Moore. Nonetheless, administrators said cost in relation to the addition of bachelor’s degrees

Q & A with the Hearing Doctor Invisible hearing aids

Q: I’ve been tested three times and

told that I need hearing aids. I don’t want to get them because I don’t want anyone to see them! I‘ve heard about invisible small hearing aids. Are they any good?

A: he miniaturization of circuitry, more speciically digital circuits has made it easier to miniaturize hearing aids. Most of the hearing aid manufacturers make ‘invisible’ or near invisible hearing aids now. It is important to understand that a smaller hearing aid is not an option for everyone. here are limits due to the small size. One itting factor is the size and shape of your ear canal. If your ear canal is small and curvy you may not be a great candidate for this style of hearing aid. An invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) aid is designed to it deep past the second bend of the ear canal, sitting approximately 4 millimeters from the eardrum. In order to get the IIC hearing aid to it deep in the ear canal the canal must be large enough and fairly straight to support the product. We can usually determine candidacy by taking a wax mold of the ear.

While the small size is attractive, one other limitation to the IIC aid is the amount of power it can provide. More powerful hearing aids have larger components which require more space. hose with mild to moderate hearing losses are better candidates to try IIC hearing aids than those with severe or profound hearing losses. here are other advantages besides the obvious cosmetic advantage. hese include virtually no wind noise, better directional sound that utilizes the outer ear (pinna), higher resonance by positioning the speaker of the aid close to the ear drum, virtual elimination of feedback, no interference when using the telephone, fully automatic (no need to adjust volume) and a secure it for active individuals. If you are told that an IIC is not an option ater testing and measurements, don’t lose heart. here are many other advanced hearing aids that are small and discrete. Many of my patients are very satisied with how their hearing aids it and how hidden they are. Not to mention the bonus of hearing better, enjoying life more, and staying connected. It is deinitely not your ‘mother’s’ hearing aid anymore! A example of an invisible-in-the-canal hearing aid

Voters in Glenbard Township High School District 87 have approved a $35 million bond referendum proposal that will fund facility improvement projects at the district’s four schools. With all precincts reporting, the referendum proposal passed with 11,238 (59 percent) “yes” votes and 7,888 (41 percent) “no” votes, according to preliminary results on the DuPage County Election Commission website. “We are very excited to move forward,” Glenbard District 87 Superintendent David Larson said. “This is a reflection on the Glenbard communities and how they invest in our kids.” The $35 million referendum will extend the district’s bond debt – currently due to expire in Fiscal Year 2026 – through fiscal year 2039, according to a report prepared by PMA Securities, the district’s financial adviser. The bonds will be used to fund $8 million of projects in

The district will fund the remaining $65 million of its Master Facility Plan through its Operations and Maintenance budget, which is about $6.5 million per year. The board previously approved issuing bonds to borrow $20 million that will be paid off using that budget. The Master Facility Plan, reviewed and approved by the Board of Education in December 2011, was developed by Legat Architects of Chicago with input from the district and community members, who participated in several months of focus groups. A steering committee, comprised of board members, staff, faculty, administrators, students, parents and community members, was also formed to gather feedback. Legat Architects originally identified $179 million worth of work to be completed during the plan’s 10-year cycle. However, the district scaled the plan back to $100 million after determining that the remaining $79 million of work will be addressed in the following 10 years.

Another feature of smartphone apps with hearing aids is in a noisy location, a selection on the app can convert the iPhone into a microphone, streaming the conversation to the hearing aids for better clarity. he advantage of wireless connectivity is the stereo sound quality that can reduce the speech-to-noise ratio (higher dB level of speech over background noise). By streaming an acoustic signal directly to the hearing aid with a microphone, the intensity of speech does not change due to distance and room acoustics. hus the hearing aid user can understand speech better, even in noise.

ELMHURST – In his second run for the state Senate’s 24th District seat, Chris Nybo of Elmhurst is one step closer to victory after winning the Republican primary. “I’ve been on both sides of a race like this,” Nybo said. “Sometimes we’ve won, sometimes we’ve lost.” With about 58 percent of the vote in DuPage County and more than 15,500 votes total, according to preliminary results, Nybo, 36, won against

another Elmhurst resident, Dennis Reboletti, who serves as state representatives for Illinois’ 45th District. “Dennis and I are friends and nothing about this changes that,” Nybo said. Nybo lost to Dillard in a 2012 primary election for the state’s 24th District seat. While he believes he benefited from not having to run against Dillard this time, Nybo also credited his campaign’s positive twist. “We remained optimistic

DUPAGE COUNTY BOARD DISTRICT 4

Custer wins democratic seat

Eckhoff to take on Custer By ANNA SCHIER

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com Jeremy Custer is one step closer to the DuPage Country Board District 4 seat after winning the Democrati primary. “I think I’ve proven myself in my short career to be someone who’s dedicated to taking on tough issues and running with them,” Custer said Tuesday night. With 59 percent of the vote, according to preliminary results, Custer, 25, of Glendale Heights won the chance to face incumbent Grant Eckhoff in the November election. “Grant has been in some sort of office as long as I’ve been alive,” Custer said. As chief of staff to state Sen. Tom Cullerton, Custer campaigned as a prob-

lem-solver who could make government work for residents. He said his priority moving forward will be to make sure citi- Jeremy zens know who Custer represents them on the County Board. Custer ran on a platform of making DuPage County a leader in economic development. He named investing in infrastructure as well as recruiting and retaining businesses as top priorities. “Economic development and positioning DuPage County as a place where people want to live, work and play is going to be paramount to the work I want to do,” Custer said.

Custer won against Moon Khan, 59, of Lombard who campaigned with the mission to save taxpayers money. The former Republican pointed to the centralizing county functions and speeding up the county’s consolidation plans. “I believe it went very well,” Khan said, who added he was pleased with the 1,089 votes he was able to get without fundraising and spending a lot of money. Khan also served eight years as a York Township trustee. He pointed to the county’s growing heroin use among youth, flooding and stormwater and a lack of public transportation as key issues. “The second most important things is … I have expanded the base of the party,”

aschier@shawmedia.com DuPage County Board District 4 incumbent Grant Eckhoff will represent the Republican camp in November, when he faces off against Democrat Jeremy Custer. Eckhoff won Tuesday’s primary election with 59.59 percent of the vote, according to pre- Grant liminary reports Eckhoff from DuPage County. Challengers Paula McGowen and Ronald Almiron received 31.48 percent and 8.93 percent, respectively. A political veteran who has served for decades as an elected official, Eckhoff has been a member of the board since 2002, according to the Illinois

State Board of Elections. Prior to running for his seat with the county, he was a Wheaton city councilman for 14 years, he said, and still lives in the city. He is involved with six county committees, according to the DuPage County website. Eckhoff credited his track record in government for the primary win. “People know that I deal with issues straight up,” he said. “They know I take on the tough issues.” In the months ahead, Eckhoff will focus on his established areas of interest, including government consolidation, tax reduction, heroin use prevention and treating the mentally ill, he said, while also prioritizing the allocation of storm water funds to west DuPage County and assisting children.

Boy Scout Troop 46 celebrates 75 years By ANNA SCHIER

Give to Troop 46

aschier@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Boy Scouts Troop 46 recently celebrated a major accomplishment – not a badge but a birthday. “We’ve been a part of Glen Ellyn for the last 75 years,” Scoutmaster Jeff Baker said. The troop was chartered in the village during 1938, he said, and has been officially associated with First Presbyterian Church, its current meeting place, since 1941. The scouts met March 9 at First Presbyterian to celebrate the anniversary with a dinner and a Court of Honor, during which rank advancements and recognition were acknowledged. “It’s exciting,” Baker said. “There’s a lot of responsibility as well to maintain the high standards of what we’ve done.” Troop 46 has a history of giving back to organizations that benefit the community, he said, such as the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry, School and

Troop 46 will hold its annual All-You-Can-Eat Pancake Breakfast from 7:30 a.m. to noon April 12 at First Presbyterian Church, 550 N. Main St. Chocolate chip and cinnamon chip pancakes will be served. Proceeds will pay for the scouts to attend summer camp and participate in other activities. Photo provided

ify for the prestigious status last year, he said. He earned the honor by doing forest reclamation work, removing buckthorn, an invasive plant, from Churchill Park, and replacing it with native trees to restore the area. Being a member of Troop 46 gives Milkovich the opportunity to have exciting experiences, he said, such as hiking in the mountains of New Mexico and canoeing the Boundary Waters. He also served as a senior patrol leader for two terms. “Our troop is run by the scouts, with the guidance of the adults,” Baker said. Milkovich said tradition is important to the troop, and that its meetings always open with a flag ceremony and close with the flag’s retrieval, accompanied by the singing of “Taps.” “There’s traditions that we’ve kept on for years,” he said. “Troop 46 is our home and it’s been here all the time. We’ve counted on it.” “It feels nice to keep up with that tradition.”

A Glen Ellyn man was sentenced Friday to more than 15 years in prison and fined $250,000 after police found more than 500 pounds of marijuana and more than $1.1 million in cash and precious metals in a vehicle in which he was a passenger and on his property in two different states, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner of the Eastern District of California. William Brock, 37, was convicted Nov. 6, 2013, by a Sacramento jury for conspiring to distribute at least 100

kilograms of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute the same amount, the release said. Brock was the target of an interstate marijuana distribution investigation conducted by the Will County Sheriff’s Office, according to the release. The investigation included a warehouse he rented in North Highlands, Calif. Will County Sheriff’s deputies came to California in April 2012, where they discovered more than 200 pounds of processed marijuana in a van where Brock was a passenger and more than 300 pounds in

his warehouse, the release said. Deputies also found processed marijuana, more than $150,000 in cash and more than $1 million in silver and gold in Brock’s storage unit and residence in Illinois, according to the release. The case was the result of an investigation by the Will County Sheriff’s Office, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, the Folsom Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration, the release said. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Todd Pickles and Jeffrey Spivak prosecuted the case.

Starting a business is hard. Staying in business can be even harder. So it’s great to see Glen Ellyn wine and art studio Bottle and Bottega celebrate its first anniversary recently. It’s owned by Glen Ellyn natives Lynn and John Daly. We hope to see many more anniversaries for them. A recent benefit show by comedian and actor Jim Belushi raised $380,000 for College of DuPage, and the school is honoring its famous alumnus by naming the performance hall at the McAninch Art Center after Belushi and his late brother, John.

compensation. Let’s not forget about generous vacation time, guaranteed pensions and retiree health plans. Most teachers work only 38 weeks a year, about onefifth less than a full-time employee in the private sector. A full-career teacher can receive guaranteed pension benefits four times those of a private-sector worker with a 401(k) plan. Most teachers also receive retiree health benefits worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of retirement. Total fringe benefits for teachers are equal to 101 percent of their salaries versus just 44 percent for workers in large private firms. In addition, most teachers attain tenure after only four years, making it difficult for them to be fired. Talk about job security! I think the myth that teachers are undercompensated needs to end, along with the government’s monopoly on education. I’d like to know why the tuition prices are going up at College of DuPage when they have a $140 million reserve. Why do they have such a large reserve, and what is that money used for? I wonder if anybody else is as curious as I am about that.

Although I’ve written to politicians on both sides – Democrats and Republicans – none have answered the simple question as to why the government has not repaid the social security back from the past and up to now. There would be more money than is ever needed if it had been left alone to build up. Do people have any idea as to how many people never received a check before dying? These crooks that took the money without a referendum from the public by vote should be in jail. Who by name are the politicians that signed the bills to remove money from Social Security without a vote? They keep taking more out and the elderly don’t have a voice, nor the people who pay into the system, which isn’t right either. When it all started it was voluntary to have your money taken from your salary, now it’s mandatory. When was the public notified of that little fact? When hired, they left it up to the employers [to do it] in the paperwork before you started working. It’s an easy way out for the politicians in government. You cannot opt out either and add it to your own retirement fund. By the way, the Social Security Fund was never designed to be an “entitlement” for the greedy government to paw their way into it and never have to pay it back to the people. This has been an abuse of government power for many years that is still going on. Government should be entitled to live by the same rules enforced on us and should not serve more than four years in office nor receive life salaries. That should be an abundance of savings if they lived by the way we live.

Students are ready for their close-up in film class By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Students enrolled in the advanced film and video production class at College of DuPage are taking a seat in the director’s chair.

GLEN ELLYN – College of DuPage is the only community college district in Illinois to see an increase in full-time student enrollment for spring 2014, according to a college news release citing the Illinois

Community College Board. The school has experienced a 1.8-percent increase in fulltime enrollment this spring, the release said, and has a total headcount of 28,100 students, the highest ever for a spring semester. College President Robert Breuder credited the school’s innovative academics and renovated facilities for the enrollment increase. Statewide, spring enrollment has decreased an average of 6.7 percent, according to the release. – Suburban Life Media

successfully to pass laws banning Blagojevich-style billboards paid for by taxpayers and expanding the availability of food allergy medicine in schools. “[Reboletti has] had a very distinguished career,” said Nybo of his opponent. Reboletti, 45, of Elmhurst has been a state representative since 2007 and boasted his experience as an assistant minority leader and floor leader for Illinois House Republicans during his campaign. He also championed his efforts as a former prosecuter to to fight the presence of heroin in DuPage County. “His voice will be missed in the General Assembly,” Nybo said. Reboletti also named his negotiating role in passing Illinois’ concealed carry law

and successful efforts to pass Andrea’s Law, which tracks murderers released from corrections as two of his biggest accomplishments as 45th District representative. Reducing the tax burden and for families and turning Illinois into a destination economy were priorities Reboletti named for Springfield. Reboletti could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening. Nybo will run against Democratic candidate Suzy Glowiak of Western Springs in November for Illinois’ 24th District Senate seat. While Glowiak lives in Western Springs, Nybo believes he has plenty of supporters there. “The western suburbs need a strong moderate voice,” Nybo said.

Khan also mentioned the missing representation of Asians, Hispanics and African Americans on the County Board and committees during his campaign. Khan said he may have lost the battle, but he hadn’t lost the war yet and planned to

support Custer in his November election. Custer believes that he can give a fresh perspective to the issues facing DuPage County. “I have the utmost respect for Grant and look forward to having a spirited race,” Custer said.

on a platform of economic development. “Grant has been in some sort of office as long as I’ve been alive,” Custer said. Eckhoff is 54. “I’d like to congratulate Grant Eckhoff,” said runner-up McGowen. “We all ran

a hard, clean campaign.” The race for the Republican nod in County Board District 4 was McGowen’s first experience running for office. “The voters have spoken,” said Almiron. “I congratulate him and wish him all the best.”

The groups are required to work with professional actors, and people who have made their careers in the industry. “It’s really helped me think like a leader,” said Abraham Buado, who is directing “Distant Star,” a science fiction drama. The film tells the story of a man who learns he’s actually an alien and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. “The level of creativity is pretty much limitless when it comes to sci-fi,” Buado said. Some students, including David Sarrett, plan to enter their work in film festivals after the class is completed. Sarrett’s group is shooting a piece called “Regression,” about an anxious man who encounters a witch in the woods who tells him that in order to learn his future, he must forfeit part of his past. “It’s not your typical ‘happy ending’ story,” Sarrett said. The goal of the class, according to Rangel, is to teach students how to turn an idea into

Restaurant reviews

Kick up your appetite at Al’s Char-House LA GRANGE – They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and if that’s the case, then Al’s Char-House not only embodies the stereotype, but celebrates it with platters built for a state-size appetite and portions larger than my forearm. Even on a freezing winter’s night, downtown La Grange is its same old self with bustling foot traffic, valet services working nonstop and restaurants keeping up with the demand. Through a set of double doors next to Casa Margarita and down a stairwell, there exists a place in La Grange that could only be described as John Wayne’s subconscious fantasy. Texas and cowboy memorabilia line every wall from the full-service bar area with fire pit to the multiple levels of a packed and hungry house. Walking past the terrific Western-themed decor, including cowboy statues, saddles, badges and photographs, it was hard not to notice the king-size platters being brought to tables. I could hear guests saying to each other with a smile how they’ll have leftovers until [insert days in advance here]. As a result, I refrained from ordering an appetizer, but seeing the onion blossom specialty arrive at several tables close by tempted me in ways you could only imagine. Instead, I resisted and opted for the main course. The menu’s array of different strips of steak and ribs looked mouthwatering, but being a connoisseur of cheeseburgers, I had to go with the Charburger Plus, described by Al’s as its “super burger,” topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. Again, I have to be honest. Right before going to Al’s, I went to see the new “Hunger Games” movie at the La Grange Theatre, so now eyeing a burger that took up most of my plate made me feel a little guilty. That was before I took the first bite.

A cowboy dream awaits at Al’s Char-House in downtown La Grange, where the Western theme is as big as the portions.

finding the strength to carry

The Charburger Plus lives up to its “super burger” billing, and can be on. customized with a variety of toppings. If there ever were a time I “Is it good?” my mom asked. But I couldn’t stop to answer her; I was too busy leaving shame at the door as the juices from the burger dripped down to my fingers and then back into my mouth. My mom could tell what the answer would’ve been as she got started on her Chicken Marsala, two boneless chicken breasts sauteed in wine and

mushrooms. Despite not being able to finish the massive portions, we both enjoyed the leftovers for lunch the next day. Our server was more than friendly, along with the rest of the staff, who twice during our visit got together to sing a happy birthday to guests. I managed to request a brownie sundae for dessert, after loosening my belt and

chose wisely to indulge, it was now, as a brownie materialized covered in whipped cream, chocolate syrup and ice cream. My mom couldn’t eat another bite, but, as I said, shame already had been left at the door, so the spoon and my hand became one until the plate was empty. With its selection of steaks, chicken dinners, kabobs and burgers, Al’s Char-House is a haven for carnivores, but

offers an occasional non-meat dish as an option. For myself though, and much of the packed house in attendance, meat was the weapon of choice, and I would be happy to rearm at the La Grange steakhouse again.

High expectations for Glenbard West volleyball By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – The Glenbard West boys volleyball team continued its recent run of success a year ago, winning 27 matches while finishing second in the West Suburban Silver conference. Now, with only three players having graduated from that group, the expectations are high for another outstanding spring. “The athletes are charged with great leadership and great attitudes,” Glenbard West coach Christine Giunta said. “We have a mix of younger and older athletes as we return nine seniors, but we are also bringing up a few sophomores. We are looking forward to a great year. Our athletes have a lot of experience and are very competitive.” The Hilltoppers should be especially strong on defense, with senior Andrew Roberts returning at the libero position. Last spring, he totaled 448 digs while being selected to the all-conference team. Fellow senior Alec Garwood is back as one of the setters, having compiled 480 assists as a junior, while senior outside hitter Kyle Blane topped the team in kills in 2013. Juniors Parker Swartz (led the team in blocks in 2013) and Jackson Nagle are also major threats at the net while newcomers Paulie Bischoff and Kyler Kotsakis are expected to be immediate contributors as sophomores.

Glenbard West Hilltoppers Coach: Christine Giunta 2013 record: 27-10 Top players Paulie Bischoff so. Kyle Blane sr. Alec Garwood sr. Kyler Kotsakis so. Jackson Nagle jr. Andrew Roberts sr. Parker Swartz jr.

“This team likes a challenge and I can’t wait to see their team chemistry come together,” Giunta said. “Our setters work well together and have a great connection with the hitters. Defense will be the key to our success. “And although we may not have a powerhouse [player] like other teams, everyone can play and everyone can contribute. I’m looking forward to a year with some depth.” West, which opens the season March 27 against Whitney Young, will take part in four tournaments this spring – Springfest at Glenbard East on April 12, the Smack Attack at Brother Rice April 25 and 26, the Benet tournament May 2 and 3, and the Cougar Classic at Vernon Hills on May 17. The Hilltoppers are also hosting the Good Volleyball for Goodwill fundraiser during their match with Oak Park on April 8 as people are asked to bring clothes to donate to local Goodwill stores.

“The athletes are charged with great leadership and great attitudes. We have a mix of younger and older athletes as we return nine seniors, but we are also bringing up a few sophomores. We are looking forward to a great year. Christine Giunta Glenbard West coach

Here are Suburban Life Media’s 2014 boys basketball selections time to take a look at the 2013-14 boys basketball all-area team.

Gordon Behr

Mikey Bibbs

Kilian Brown

Corey Davis

Chip Flanigan

School: Wheaton Academy Year: Senior Impact: An athletic forward, Behr was the heart and soul of the Warriors and a major reason why the team extended its conference title streak to five straight. Second on the team in scoring at 13.2 points per game, Behr led in rebounds (8.2 per game) and blocks (2.1).

School: West Chicago Year: Sophomore Impact: Bibbs’ production played a large role in the Wildcats’ turnaround this winter. Stepping in as the No. 2 scorer behind John Konchar, Bibbs averaged 14.1 points per game on nearly 45 percent shooting. Second on the team with 44 3-pointers, he also averaged 3.3 rebounds per contest.

School: St. Francis Year: Senior Impact: A major contributor on both ends of the floor, Brown averaged 14 points per game this winter while shooting more than 60 percent. Brown, who was selected to the Suburban Christian all-conference team, was also a strong defender and posted 10 rebounds per outing.

School: Glenbard West Year: Senior Impact: This versatile guard led the Hilltoppers in virtually every category, including scoring at 13.8 points per game. The three-year varsity performer also totaled 5.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.9 steals per outing, all team-highs, and was the Hilltoppers’ unquestioned leader on the court.

School: Glenbard North Year: Senior Impact: A contributor in all facets of the game for the Panthers, Flanigan took his game to an even higher level this year. The DuPage Valley Conference co-Player of the Year averaged 20 points on 68 percent shooting while adding eight rebounds, 4.8 assists, three steals and 2.2 blocks per contest.

Jeremiah Fleming School: Glenbard North Year: Senior Impact: Very few area players have improved as much over their four year high school career than Fleming, who was an impact performer this winter. A top long-range threat who also shot 81 percent from the charity stripe, this senior was second on the Panthers with his 14.8 points per game average.

Honorable mention

Alex Jeske

John Konchar

Chaun Rickette

Josh Ruggles

Andrew Slivinski

School: Glenbard South Year: Senior Impact: There aren’t too many weaknesses in this senior’s game as Jeske contributed in a number of areas for the Raiders. The guard was second on the team in scoring with his 14.9 points per game average and also added 2.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds per outing while playing strong defense.

School: West Chicago Year: Senior Impact: Despite opponents game planning against him, this senior was virtually unstoppable this winter. Knocking down 50 3-pointers and 234 free throws, Konchar averaged 28.9 points a game, shooting 57.2 percent from the field. He also tallied 14.1 rebounds per outing while finishing the season with 90 steals and 71 blocks.

School: Glenbard South Year: Senior Impact: Very few players can put the ball in the basket like this senior, who averaged 22.2 points per game. An improved outside shooter who knocked down 33 3-pointers, Rickette also gets to the basket at will and shot nearly 76 percent from the free throw line. He also led the team with 60 steals.

School: Wheaton Academy Year: Junior Impact: Known for his shooting prowess, this junior didn’t disappoint this winter. Shooting 48 percent from 3-point land (85-of-174) and 88 percent from the free throw line (66-of-75), Ruggles led the Warriors with 13.8 points per game. He also posted a team-high 1.5 steals per contest.

School: Wheaton North Year: Senior Impact: Through hard work and determination, this senior made himself into an impact player this winter despite dealing with a myriad of injuries. Slivinski ended up topping the Falcons in scoring with 12.6 points per game. The guard made 32 3-pointers, also a team-high, and added 4.3 rebounds per outing.

Glenbard West Senior | Basketball Why Reedy was selected: Qualifying out of the Morton regional, Reedy was one of 16 competitors to take part in the 3-point showdown at Friday’s Class 4A Bartlett sectional. Having seen his role expand this winter, Glenbard West’s Will Reedy capped off a nice 2013-14 season by participating in the 3-point showdown at the Bartlett sectional Friday. Having made 12 shots to move on from the regional, the guard made eight at the sectional, falling just one 3-pointer short of advancing to state. Reedy, the Glen Ellyn Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports reporter Scott Schmid about the experience and about his senior season.

I shot a little better the first time around in the regional. I had a few [Friday] that went in and out, which was disappointing. But I lost to some good shooters so I’m not too upset about it.

How was the experience of competing before the sectional final?

Were you pleased with how the season played out?

It was really fun. There were a lot of kids from other teams who I got to meet and got to know. I thought it was a really good experience.

Were you happy with your performance?

You made 12 in the regional, were you just feeling it? I was, I had a pretty hot hand. Earlier in the week with my coach [Tim Hoder], I was shooting a lot and I was getting pretty consistent 10s and nines. I guess I was kind of feeling it with 12.

I kind of found my spot. We had guys like Corey Davis and Alex Passi, slashers who got to the basket, and then we had guys like me, Justin Pierce and Brian Cochrane at the 3-point line waiting for our chance. When they found us, it worked well.

West Chicago’s John Konchar posts jaw-dropping numbers By SCOTT SCHMID

About Konchar

sschmid@shawmedia.com WEST CHICAGO – The statistics John Konchar put up this winter are nearly unfathomable. Along with a scoring output of 28.9 points per game, the West Chicago senior posted eye-popping averages of 14.1 rebounds, 3.2 steals and 2.5 blocks per contest, all in just 32 minutes of work. But ultimately, the number that meant the most to him was 17, as in the amount of victories that the Wildcats finished with during the 2013-14 season. “My first two years [on the varsity] didn’t go as well as I wanted them to,” Konchar said. “This last season made it so much better and I hope they can keep it up next year. Every-

School: West Chicago Year: Senior Height: 6-foot-4 Position: Guard/forward Jersey: No. 5

one practiced hard all the time and everyone contributed.” Konchar credits offseason work, which included playing with the Illinois Basketball Academy, for his continued improvement after averaging 19.7 points and 8.8 rebounds as a junior. He also admitted to surprising himself at times this winter, including when he posted 49 points and 27 rebounds in a game against South Elgin. “I almost outrebound -

ed their whole team, which shocked me,” said Konchar, who was starting back up with the IBA this week after taking a short break from basketball. “I didn’t think I’d ever do that.” While the 6-foot-4 guard/forward would rather talk about the team than himself, one person that has no trouble discussing the senior is his coach, Bill Recchia, who was the all-time leading scorer at the school before Konchar broke the mark this winter. “I think any accolades he gets from now to when they stop handing out awards are well earned and well deserved,” Recchia said. “He took his game to a level that hasn’t been seen around here in quite some time.” Making his production stand out even more was the

fact that every opponent came into games with a gameplan to slow him down. “That’s the thing, every opponent was preparing for John, to stop John, to get the ball out of his hands,” Recchia said. “To still put up the numbers he put up when the defense is centered around him makes his numbers more extraordinary.” One such opponent that attempted to curtail Konchar and ultimately failed was St. Charles North, which West Chicago played in the regular season finale. After he went for 45 points, North Stars coach Tom Poulin had some high praise for Konchar. “He’s the best player we’ve seen this year,” Poulin said. “He’s a couple steps ahead of everybody. What makes him

difficult is he can do it all. He can shoot the 3, he can handle the basketball, he can make his teammates better, he can go right, he can go left. He’s a smart basketball player, he’s long and he plays really hard.” While Konchar certainly caught the attention of Poulin and other opposing coaches, it has taken him a little longer to catch the eye of college recruiters. Chicago State and Division II Notre Dame College of Ohio are the only schools to have offered a scholarship though others are starting to join the party. He has talked to schools on the east coast recently such as Rider and Northeastern along with IPFW, and expects to start taking visits sometime in the near future.

Chicago Football sports media franchise launches SHAW MEDIA AND DAILY HERALD MEDIA GROUP Shaw Media and Daily Herald Media Group recently announced the launch of Chicago Football, a print and digital sports media franchise covering high school, college and professional football. Veteran football analyst and Chicago-area sports personality Hub Arkush will spearhead the initiative. The first edition of Chicago Football magazine hits newsstands in early April and will focus on the Chicago Bears’

preparation for the 2014 NFL Draft. The first edition will include exclusive interviews with head coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery. It also will break down the professional prospects of Chicago-area players, including Chris Watt (Glen Ellyn) and others. In print, Chicago Football will be a glossy magazine published weekly during the football season and monthly in the offseason. The publishers also plan to produce several annual football guides to be distributed nationally.

The website HubArkush. com is now ChicagoFootball. com. The new site will provide in-depth news and analysis of the Bears, along with extensive information about the NFC North division and coverage of all 32 NFL teams. The site also will provide analysis of local high school and college programs as the 2014 season approaches. In addition to Arkush, Chicago Football contributors include Shaw Media’s Kevin Fishbain and Tom Musick, and the Daily Herald’s premier Bears expert Bob LeGere

and fantasy football analyst John Dietz. Veteran designer and editor Bob Peters – who previously worked with Arkush at Pro Football Weekly – also joined the Chicago Football team. Arkush indicated that he is in the process of hiring additional staff. Chicago Football will be headquartered at the Daily Herald offices in Arlington Heights. Arkush noted the time is right for this venture. “The NFL’s popularity is at an all-time high, and many fans have an affiliation

with at least one college and high school program while many follow more than one,” Arkush said. “Chicago Football will be unique in its look at the sport from a geographical perspective, and our singular focus will allow us to go more in-depth than other media.” Chicago Football’s NFL Draft Preview edition will be available on newsstands April 7. The magazine can be purchased at area newsstands or included as part of an annual subscription, available at ChicagoFootball.com.
