It seems anywhere Whitney Cimaglia goes in Lombard, she runs into someone she knows.

That’s exactly how she likes it. Cimaglia is a people person, whether she’s working for a local bank, volunteering for local charities or shopping at the local grocery store.

“My husband for the last few years calls me the mayor,” she said.

However, the 28-year-old Lombard native has no plans of running for public office anytime soon. She’s perfectly happy right where she is in her professional journey.

“I don’t think I’d want to move up anymore and lose the face-to-face interaction,” she said.

As vice president and branch sales manager for Republic Bank in Oak Brook, Cimaglia said she works directly with owners of small and moderate businesses to help them achieve their financial goals.

“I know my customers by name and I know what their business is and maybe about their family life and what keeps them up at night,” she said.

Banking is just one element of what roots Cimaglia in the community. She’s the board secretary at Tri-Town YMCA, she serves Meals on Wheels

Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com

Whitney Cimaglia is the vice president and branch sales manager for Republic Bank in Oak Brook and a Lombard native. for the DuPage Senior Citizens Council and she rings the Salvation Army bell outside Yorktown Mall.

And she’s not just a member of the Lombard Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

She’s the president.

Cimaglia was sworn in as president in January and said the first few months were challenging as she adjusted to the position. She credited members of the executive board with helping her find her footing.

“I don’t even think I knew what the chamber was until maybe five or six years ago, so I definitely didn’t expect it,” she said of being president.

Now, nearly nine months into the job, she said she’s

comfortable with her role and setting goals for the chamber’s future.

Attracting more members and expanding into neighboring communities are among Cimaglia’s goals before the end of her one-year term. And if they want her to stay on as president another year, she said she’d gladly continue the mission.

Joining the chamber as a 24-year-old proved to be an important step in her professional career. Despite being the youngest member, she said she immediately was welcomed by the others.

“Nobody ever treated me like some young kid that didn’t know about life,” she said.

Cimaglia hopes to extend that welcoming environment to others in the same situation.

One idea is to create a chamber networking group specifically for young professionals.

“I think it would be a nice program because there are young people who attend networking functions that don’t feel as welcomed as I did.”

She also works with aspiring professionals when they’re even younger – sometimes much younger. Cimaglia has taught kindergartners and second-graders in Lombard as part of the Junior Achievement program and mentored a high school job shadower.

After piling up an impressive list of accomplishments before age 30, there’s still one title Cimaglia, who lives in Lombard with her husband, Eric Voelker, hopes to earn one day.

“I sure would like to be a mom someday,” she said.

“That’s probably a bigger job than anything else I’m doing right now.”

Then she might be ready for that run at public office.

“Who knows, maybe my husband’s right,” she said.

“Maybe I will be mayor.”

TO THE OTHER 99 PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES: CONGRATS. We know what it takes to be named among theTop100 Public Universities by U.S.News & World Report. Being top-ranked is an honor reserved for those willing to work tirelessly, put students irst, invest in new learning environments and facilities, and attract the best faculty to lead stellar programs. Being in the top 100 is a lot of work and not something we take lightly. So to the other 99 who made the list with us, there’s one more thing we’d like to say: keep up the good work.

Hinsdale Central Science Chair Lisa Fernandez recognizes the efforts of students like Erin Bruns who were instrumental in jump starting the schools’ solar panel project. Hinsdale South and Central hosted Donor Appreciation events Monday.

YOUR WEEKEND FORECAST

The two chairs also suggested science teachers at both schools send out personal letters and emails to parents requesting donations.

“Lisa [Fernandez] and I collaborate a lot, and we took the lead on applying for the grants,” Gaubatz said. “The grants plus the donations covered about half of the project cost, so there was still work that needed to be done to secure the necessary finances.”

That’s when the parents took the reins.

During the course of a year, Hinsdale Central PTO President Nancy Pollak and Central PTO member Jaimie Yeh met with businesses and brain-

stormed with parents, planning a handful of fundraisers.

“I’ve had three children go to Central, my husband and I received degrees in science and two of my children are studying engineering in college,” Yeh said. “When we heard the science department fell short of their goal, we wanted to help in any way possible.”

One of the more successful fundraisers was a sushi lunch at Nabuki in Hinsdale that generated about $10,000, according to Yeh and Pollak.

They also organized a private dinner for a dozen people and a community shopping day at Hinsdale Whole Foods, which in turn donated 5 per-

cent of the proceeds to the D-86 solar panel project.

After a couple other small fundraisers, including a sunglasses sale at Hinsdale South, enough money was raised to fund the solar panels, which were installed in August at both schools.

“It was really inspiring to see people without children at the school come out to support the cause,” Pollak said. “You can’t point your finger at one piece that makes these schools so special. It’s not just the parents the teachers, leadership, administration, or community, it’s everybody working together for the overall success of the system and the schools.

environmental project.

“The first-year students chose individual projects, but the second-year kids [in 2012] wanted to do something larger scale,” Fernandez said.

As a result, students from the Ecology Club at Hinsdale Central and members of the Environmental Concerns Club at Hinsdale South suggested installing solar panels at the high schools.

Upon hearing about the project, Fernandez and Hinsdale South Science Department Chair Julie Gaubatz wrote and secured grants from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and Toshiba America Foundation.

HINSDALE – Hinsdale Central Science Chair Lisa Fernandez stood Monday below six rows of solar panels, thanking students, parents, staff, teachers, the school board and building administration for their unwavering support during past two years.

District 86 hosted donor appreciation events Monday at the respective high schools, marking the end of the $108,000 solar panel project that was financed entirely by grants and money raised during local fundraisers, and ceremoniously christening the beginning of hands-on experiments that will be utilized by classes for years to come.

Not only are the 38 solar panels hanging on façades of both Hinsdale South and Hinsdale Central high an instrumental lesson tool that will be used by science and math classes, but the modules also are a testament to the collaborative spirit of the Hinsdale and Darien communities.

“The best part of the whole thing is that it truly was a community project,” Fernandez said. “This would have been impossible to pull off without everyone – the students were the driving force, the PTO and parents helped get the word out and you can’t do anything without the board and building administration backing you up.”

Fernandez explained the project unfolded after a group of students attended a summer environmental youth conference for three consecutive years. A conference stipulation suggested attendees return to their respective classes, share their findings and propose an

Q&A

Franchise ownership demographics changing in the area

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com OAK BROOK – The Western Suburbs of Chicago is regarded as an area of opportunity and potential, according to FranNet Chicago President John McLellan, who hosted a “Meet the Fran- John chisor” event McLellan on Wednesday at the Oak Brook DoubleTree

by Hilton.

During a pair of two-hour seminars, “Meet the Franchisor” attendees learned about the changing landscape of the franchise industry and had the chance to network with

local franchise owners to determine if the business is right for them.

Afterward, Suburban Life Editor Alex Soulier sat down with McLellan, discussing the business models of franchises, owner demographics and the growing number of franchises in the area.

Soulier: Is it true that the franchising ownership increases in the fall?

McLellan: Business does pick up in the fall, and I think it’s mostly because my clients tend to be busy doing other things or vacationing in the summer. Their drive for new business is slightly diminished. For my business, its tough to look at it seasonally.

But on a corporate level, it

seems to pick up in the fall.

Soulier: Why has franchising become such a viable second career for people?

McLellan: A couple things are at play here. The loyalty between big businesses and employees has diminished – pensions are gone and there is less security. My clients are looking for security as much as the financial rewards. Also, franchises have expanded to the service area, it’s not merely dining and fast food. There are service, education and health care, too. I help a lot of people acquire service-related franchises. People just want security, they want control of their life.

Soulier: Is the number of women

entering the franchising business growing?

McLellan: Yes, absolutely.

As the work force increases, so does the number of women interested in franchising. Unfortunately, some women are getting pushed out of jobs, too.

They are attracted the service industry portion of franchising. About 30 percent of my clients are women, up from about 15 percent five years ago. Women are not afraid or intimidated by franchises either; I have sen some great successes stories.

Soulier: Why are franchisers drawn to veterans as franchise owners?

McLellan: Franchisers are continually reaching out to veterans, and they do see a big

market in veterans. Vets understand and value a system, and they know how to run an efficient operation. Following a system and that’s what a franchise is about. The biggest challenge with vets is getting the financial wherewithal to buy the franchise.

Soulier: Why is franchising so big in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs?

McLellan: Even though Chicago has some issues related to state government that makes it challenging for franchises to come here, franchises still view the area as a place with a lot of potential – there is a lot of opportunity here. I think more people are realizing the opportunity and affordability of franchising.

INDIAN HEAD PARK – The Kelli Joy O’Laughlin Foundation is auctioning off a 2014 Tesla Model S by way of sealed bids through Nov. 2 for the benefit of the family’s memorial fund.

The full-sized, luxury electric Tesla vehicle is valued at nearly $115,000 with less than 1,500 miles and was given to the foundation by an anonymous donor.

Bidding opened Sept. 22 and closes at 6 p.m. Nov. 2.

The donation comes on the heels of a two-week trial that found the killer of the 14-yearold Lyons Township High School freshman guilty of her 2011 murder during a burglary of her Indian Head Park home.

John O’Laughlin, Kelli’s father, said in a statement the family “was grateful for this generous donation and know that it will spur good things

Burr Ridge Boy Scout Troop 56 will host a car wash fundraiser Sunday for a local 4-year-old who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

Thumbs up to Burr Ridge Boy Scout Troop 56 for hosting a fundraiser for a cousin of one of the scouts who was recently diagnosed with neuroblastoma stage 4 cancer, a form of cancer that begins in the sympathetic nervous system and typically affects children younger than 5. To help the family pay for medical bills, Troop 56 will host a car wash from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at Gower West School, 7650 Clarendon Hills Road in Willowbrook.

This is another wonderful example of scouts supporting their own and helping a family in need.

The 25-year-old reliever first visited outpatients and medical staff in the hospital’s Cancer Care Center then stopped by the inpatient oncology unit. Although it was a down year for the North Siders, Ramirez was one of a few bright spots, posting a 1.35 ERA. More encouraging, however, is his dedication and willingness to give back to the community.

A tip is not always “thank you for a good job.” In the U.S., we have a nice system where certain professions work either fully or primarily off of tips. When people work hard and do a good job, they are usually rewarded with higher compensation via the tip. On the other side, customers benefit because they either receive good service or they show their discontent via a low tip. Overall, it makes for better performing workers and more satisfied customers. Other cultures

If you can’t commit to providing an animal with a lifetime of love and care, don’t get one! They are not dispensable. They have feelings and emotions and needs just like people. If you don’t like animals, leave them alone! If you do commit to the lifelong loving care of one, get it neutered or spayed. If you must find it a new home, try to find a new loving home before going to a shelter. If you can’t, then, and ONLY then, take it to a no-kill shelter. Do not let it fend for itself locked up, abandoned, or worse.

There are millions of animals just waiting for another chance for a loving, forever home.

To the Editor: Every year we anticipate the final issue of Hinsdale Central’s Advocate newspaper so we can peruse where the seniors will attend college. The schools they chose run the gamete – COD, Santa Clara, Harvard, University of Illinois, Indiana University, West Point, etc. It is a varied and impressive list.

The opportunities graduates have don’t happen by themselves. District 86 teachers consistently go above and beyond to prepare our children for the paths they choose.

Neither this kind of dedication nor the future academic paths the students take are seen many other places. Whether through the academics they learn in the classroom, or what they learn on sports teams or clubs, our children are prepared for life’s next chapter.

The teachers in our district take pride in this success and truly want to see their students succeed.

Our own children that graduated from Hinsdale Central frequently comment on how they were more prepared for college than many of their peers.

They both keep in contact with many former teachers and reach out to them for advice.

The teachers not only teach them academically but also are role models for them to emulate.

They put in countless hours ensuring that our children have the tools they need to become a success, no matter what future path they select. How does one put a value on teachers that provide an education like this?

14 Candidate: Opponent used government resources for campaign

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com A candidate for DuPage County clerk has filed a complaint with the county state’s attorney’s office claiming her opponent has been using government resources to further his campaign.

Democrat Jean Kaczmarek, a Glen Ellyn resident, hosted a press conference Tuesday at the DuPage County Judicial Center before submitting her complaint regarding Paul Hinds, a Republican and the county deputy clerk. Both are vying to replace Clerk Gary King, who is retiring.

Kaczmarek’s complaint, which includes 85 pages of public records, said county employees – including the current clerk – notarized and circulated several of Hinds’s required petitions to run for office.

Now she’s asking the state’s attorney send the complaint to an outside body to ensure the notarization and circulation didn’t happen under coercion or during work hours.

“The chief deputy county clerk appears to have crossed a line between campaigning for an elected office and per-

DuPage County Clerk candidate Jean Kaczmarek delivers remarks outside the DuPage County Judicial Center before submitting a complaint to the state’s attorney’s office. forming his duties as a county employee by using our government resources to complete his political petitions,” she said in prepared remarks. “These are among the risks when a government employee runs for political office, especially while employed at the office he

hopes to officiate.”

Kaczmarek said 24 of the petitions were notarized by a county clerk employee, five of which were circulated by Hinds. Several dozen more were notarized by an employee of the county recorder’s office.

Kaczmarek said she had consulted with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, which advised her to submit her complaint.

She said she had “no confidence” in the state’s attorney’s office, claiming multiple conflicts of interest.

During her remarks, she also said the clerk’s office gave employee Adam Johnson paid leave to try to unseat State Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, in the spring Republican primary election, for which she said the county’s personal leave policy had no provision.

Kaczmarek compared the allegations against Hinds to recent lawsuits against DuPage County Sheriff John Zaruba. Several veteran deputies have claimed they were punished by Zaruba for unionizing and refusing to support the sheriff politically. One suit has been settled, but more are pending.

“Prohibited political activity is a big problem in DuPage County. It impacts all of us,” she said. “Yet, this problem is so easy to fix with tougher policies, better training and a willingness to enforce laws which already exist. Our county officials have chosen to do nothing and here we are today.”

Hinds did not respond to requests for comment and Paul Darrah, spokesman for the state’s attorney’s office, confirmed receipt of the complaint but said he could not speak further on the matter.

DuPage Water Commission to make final payment on controversial bonds

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com The DuPage Water Commission dug itself into a hole several years ago and now appears ready to step out from underground.

The commission will soon pay the final $7 million installment of the $70 million in short-term loans it took out in 2011 to cover operations after depleting its $69 million reserve fund, according to county officials.

County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said the success came through skillful management and cost cutting by the

commission’s Board of Commissioners and chairman, County Board member Jim Zay. “This is a wonderful example of successful government reform,” Cronin said. “In fact, I think this is the definition of government reform.”

The final payment will occur 18 months early. Such early payments, as well as refinancing debt and avoiding interest, are estimated to save taxpayers more than $10 million off the original debt schedule.

“Business as usual was not working,” Zay said.

Commission on DuPage County Fairgrounds expected to deliver report by end of year One of the biggest lingering issues in the county over the past several months has been what to do with the DuPage County Fairgrounds.

In 2013, county officials created a task force to determine the best course of action for the property.

Currently, the lease for the county-owned land runs through 2020. Should the lease be renewed, several infrastructure improvements would likely be needed, despite existing investments in a new electrical grid and

money and bringing the office more modern storage and processing ability.

The system, which is now available on the coroner’s website, has the ability to display data and statistics in real time.

Previously, Jorgensen said, the office used to make 4,500 paper records each year. By going digital, it can cut costs and increase efficiency.

“It makes our job easier,” he said. “We’re more efficient, we’re more accurate.”

He said the ultimate goal was to have the commission operate less like a government body, shying away from relying on tax dollars to make ends meet. That goal is especially important with the possible sunset of a quarter-cent county sales tax hike in 2016, which could total as much as $33 million, and the rising cost of water from the city of Chicago.

“I think people were a little concerned about losing that money,” he said. “It always had a loose cushion. But they’re going to run it like a utility – you can’t count on getting tax dollars to run your operation. It makes you think more like a business.”

Since 2011, the county has cut the commission’s headcount from 37 to 33, refinanced the bonds and implemented job performance metrics and benchmarks to ensure the mismanagement that caused the 2009 deficit won’t happen again.

Zay said he thought the reforms would be enough to soften the blow of the sales tax cutbacks and rising prices of water.

At the heart of the reform has been the installation of new personnel and board members at the Commission, Zay said.

“When [Cronin] came in, [it was] political people that were being put in there,” he said.

“The chairman really went in there and sought out professionals. So we have people with banking experience, we have people with engineering experience, a lot of people that worked for small business.”

installation of the district’s interim executive directors.

The board extended the appointments of Deputy Director of Operations Michael Palazzetti and Deputy Director of Natural Resources Robert Vick with a 6-1 vote.

“This is nothing against Bob and Mike,” Wehrli said.

“They are excellent people handling the situation.”

The objection stemmed from the appointment’s lack of formal end date.

The resolution approving the extension states that the two “shall act as interim executive directors until the new executive director assumes his position or they are otherwise replaced by the president with the advice and consent of the commissioners.”

“This is an open-ended appointment and I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Wehrli said.

Forest Preserve District of DuPage County commissioner

ident and DuPage County clerk Democratic candidate Jean Kaczmarek objected to the hiring because the district had not posted information on the contract at least six days in advance of the vote, violating the Illinois Open Meetings Act for proposed compensation packages of more than $150,000 a year.

Lapinski will replace ousted director Arnie Biondo, who spent only eight months with the district before he was put on paid leave and retired when faced with the prospect of termination without cause.

The previous full-time director was Brent Manning, who resigned in June 2012.

Tuesday’s lone dissenting vote came from Mary Lou Wehrli, who has vocally opposed the process of Lapinski’s hiring for weeks.

After three votes on the same appointment in the last month, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County may finally have its executive director.

The Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday on a contract to install John Lapinski to the position for the third time since Aug. 19.

The 6-1 vote amended the contract to push back his start date to Dec. 1 instead of Oct. 1, because of a health issue.

“I’m proud to be part of a board that can take [Lapinski’s health] into account and give him the grace period to heal before he comes to us,” said Commissioner Shannon Burns.

Commissioner Joseph Cantore, who originally recommended Lapinski for the

Last week, she called the medical delay “the last straw” and said it was inappropriate to allow the district to continue to operate without a permanent executive director. She also previously spoke against the decision to install Lapinski without holding public board meeting to discuss the hiring first.

Instead, commissioners met with Lapinski, a 53-yearold Oak Brook resident and trial administrator for the Office of the Chief Judge of the 18th Judicial Circuit Court, one-on-one.

Previously, Burns suggested the board begin a new search if Lapinski is unable to work by Dec. 1.

On Tuesday, Wehrli said she objected to the contract’s lack of any vacation for six months.

Restaurant reviews

Weber Grill elevates backyard barbecue LOMBARD – As the season turns and separation anxieties mount at the thought of backyard grills decommissioned until spring, one restaurant always provides a comforting phalanx of professional Weber grills and charcoal at the ready.

This year marks the silver anniversary of the Weber Grill restaurant, which originated in Wheeling and today has locations in Lombard, Schaumburg, Chicago and Indianapolis. The restaurants are owned by the Illinois-based grill manufacturer.

We visited the Lombard location, a handsome space with a playful motif that pays homage to the early days of the dome-lidded Weber barbecue grill invented in 1952. There are vintage photos in the dining room, a chronological display of actual grills above the bar in the Smokey Joe’s lounge where myriad TV screens are tuned to sports, and a life-size sculpture in the foyer of the grill’s creator, George Stephen, cooking on his Weber in front of the open kitchen. Outside the restaurant is a towering giant of a kettle grill, its sheer size lending an amusing exclamation point.

The dining room has an inviting clubby feel, with an exposed-beam ceiling, wagon wheel-style chandeliers above the tables, expansive leather banquettes and ultra-comfortable, upholstered booths. A stone fireplace and rich wood accent the space.

We opted for a booth, and our helpful server soon delivered warm pretzel rolls with a tangy cheddar butter.

Steaks, barbecue, burgers, grill-fired pizza and seafood dominate the menu, but I didn’t need to ponder all the choices. I had to try the signature pork ribs with hickory barbecue sauce, and they did not disappoint. The tender, fall-off-the-bone meat was flavorful, and the sauce hit just the right notes of zesty, smoky

Impossible to miss, the giant kettle outside the Weber Grill restaurant in Lombard could fit 300 burgers.

A combo plate stars the signature ribs and pulled pork, both slowsmoked over hardwood, and complemented by bourbon baked beans and a delectable side of whipped sweet potatoes – with the accent on A generous half slab of pork ribs with Weber’s own hickory barbecue sweet. sauce stands up well to the big flavors of roasted garlic mashed potatoes, blue cheese pecan cole slaw and sweet cornbread.

Thanks to the original between mouthfuls. flavor.

I opted for sides of roasted garlic mashed potatoes and the blue cheese pecan cole slaw, both intensely flavored.

I shared them in exchange for samples of the whipped sweet potatoes and bourbon baked beans my dining companion had chosen to complement his combo plate.

I’m normally not a sweet potato fan, but the fluffy,

sweetened side dish was a standout – more dessert than dutiful vegetable. Served with our dishes was a thick slab of cornbread bursting with the just-picked flavor of high-summer sweetcorn with a hint of added sugar.

My dinner date had chosen the two-item combo, picking the signature ribs along with the hardwood-slow-smoked pulled pork, which he praised

We were getting full, but couldn’t resist the seasonal creme brulee, whose flavor of the day was peach. We happily crunched through the crackling caramelized sugar atop the creamy custard.

Splitting dessert does wonders to assuage the guilt of picking a rich confection. We paired dessert with a tasty cup of cappuccino prepared with Lavazza espresso coffee from Italy.

barbecue masters, we know where to find a reassuring taste of perpetual summer, when the polar vortex returns.

Hinsdale Central has hard time with Glenbard W.

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Colin Goss provided an early momentum boost for Hinsdale Central’s football team with a strip and fumble recovery on the third play of the game.

But that was about the extent of the good fortune for the Red Devils, who lost 42-7 against visiting Glenbard West on Sept. 26.

Christian Bobak’s 4-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter was another bright spot, but the Hilltoppers responded with consecutive touchdowns to seal the game.

“They’ve always done a good job getting numbers to the ball and they’re a bunch of really good football players, and they did it again to-

“From here on out, it’s pretty much big game after big game. They’re all against rivals and great opponents. We’ll come back and try to regroup.”

night,” Central senior Jimmy Thompson said.

West dominated on both sides of the ball, especially in the first half. The Hilltoppers outgained the Red Devils 255-19 and didn’t allow a Central first down in the opening half.

“We didn’t handle them well on either side of the ball,” Central coach Dan Hartman said. “Defensively, we were in the right spots, we just didn’t make plays and missed some tackles. A team like that, they’re going to keep running

the ball downhill and move it down the field on you. Offensively, we struggled a little bit up front handling the pressure they were bringing and never really got it going until the second half.”

The game was declared over with 4:29 to play after a second Central player had to be taken away in an ambulance. Central athletic director Dan Jones said it was a decision made among himself, the coaches of both teams and the game officials.

“With the amount of time it

Sports to your phone

took to evaluate the [second] athlete, we would have had to warm everybody up on both teams again. With the lateness of the night, we didn’t see any upside to finishing the game,” said Jones, who added both players were doing fine after being evaluated at the hospital that night.

The defeat put a halt to a mini two-game winning streak for the Red Devils, who go from one big game against Glenbard West to another against rival Lyons Township.

“From here on out, it’s

pretty much big game after big game,” Hartman said.

“They’re all against rivals and great opponents. We’ll come back and try to regroup.”

Thompson was already moving on from the loss before he even left the field.

“It’s definitely one we wanted. We’d be lying to say we didn’t, but we have to forget about it now because it’s not important anymore,” he said.

“We’re just trying to make the playoffs, and we have to go get our win against LT.”

For Central, a win would be a big step toward a playoff berth with tough games against Hinsdale South, Oak Park-River Forest and Downers Grove North looming down the stretch.

Mustangs muster comeback

By DAVE OWEN msleditorial@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove South’s football team used fourth quarter drama to overcome earlier trauma in a 14-10 homecoming win against Leyden.

Heading into Friday’s crosstown showdown at Downers Grove North, the Mustangs (3-2, 2-1 in the West Suburban Gold) trailed Leyden 10-0 after three quarters before Jacob Baker’s touchdown runs of 28 and 10 yards (the second with 3:18 to play) gave South an unexpectedly tough 14-10 win.

“We really had to get our minds straight,” Baker said of the offensive struggles. “Our defense had been helping us out the whole game, so we really had to go out there with some fire. When we got the ball, the only thing on our minds was going forward and putting the ball in the end zone. And that’s what we did.

“We didn’t have panic. We trust our teammates and knew the defense would get the job done. They got it done when they needed to, then we did our job and we came out of here with the win. That’s what matters.”

The happy ending erased early misery – two Mustang turnovers plus two possessions that ended inside the Leyden 20-yard line, including time running out on the drive to the Eagles’ 3 at the end of the first half, helped Leyden (0-5) build a 10-0 lead.

“We’ve been a very inconsistent team,” Mustangs’ head coach Mark Molinari said. “We can never hit on all cylinders for four quarters.

“But this team has been resilient – this is our second fourth-quarter comeback (also beating Proviso West in Week 2).”

After splitting time at quarterback with Jordan Skach for most of the game, Baker played exclusively at running back down the stretch to spark the comeback.

“Anything that’s going to help put my team in the win column is where I’ll play,” Baker said.

After Baker’s 28-yard TD run with 11:32 left made the score 10-7, two penalties for 30 yards, including one that brought

Downers South then went up 14-10 with an eight-play, 80-yard drive, highlighted by a 36-yard pass from Skach to Max Soderlund and capped by Baker’s second touchdown. A Leyden run on fourth-and-2 was stopped for no gain to seal the win.

Ed Barfield (two tackles for losses) was a defensive standout.

Both in Friday’s rivalry game and the ensuing march to a potential playoff berth, Molinari knows the Mustangs have to up their level of play.

“The kids have confidence that they can come back, but we have to find a way to be more consistent,” he said. “We can play with a lot of people, but we ... have to put it together.”

Lessons learned in South’s loss against AT

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ADDISON – In a big game with a number of big plays, Addison Trail made a few more down the stretch to pull out a tight 20-16 win against Hinsdale South Friday night.

Both teams entered undefeated and the game had huge implications on the title race in the West Suburban Gold. AT quarterback Mike Rybarczyk hit Jake Atiyeh for a 4-yard touchdown with 6:32 left that proved to be the game-winning score.

“It’s obviously a huge game,” Rybarczyk said. “We were both undefeated going into this and it was like a little early conference title game. It was a playoff atmosphere, it was awesome.”

The Hornets (4-1, 2-1 WSG) scored first on a Robby Regan 2-yard run with two minutes left in the first quarter. Three plays later Rybarczyk avoided pass pressure and bolted down the left sideline, with help from a block by Jaavion Bradley, for a 66-yard score.

The Blazers (5-0, 3-0 WSG) took the lead in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by Malik Pierre-Louis. However, the extra point hit off the upright and Hinsdale South regained the lead just before halftime when Ravon Johnson won a jump ball against double coverage for a 36-yard touchdown.

King played through an injury in the game. Running back Marcus Curry suffered an injury on the Hornets’ first drive and didn’t return until the second half. Regan also got injured and missed South’s final drive of the game.

“We got a little banged up,” Hinsdale South coach Mike Barry said. “My starting running back got banged up early and then my quarterback got hurt. We had a bunch of injuries that we were trying to battle through during the game. I thought our guys fought back.”

look to get back on track after losing their first game of the season last week. West Suburban Gold foe Leyden comes calling having allowed 40 or more points three times this season, though the Eagles are coming off a hard-fought 14-10 loss against Downers Grove South.

The Hornets had a chance to put the game away on a fourth-and-two at the fouryard-line when they were still winning, but the Blazers got the stop. After Atiyeh’s touchdown, the Hornets went three-and-out with Regan on the sideline, and Anthony Metallo blocked South’s punt. From that point, the Blazers were able to run out the clock.

“Any time you have go to with your backup quarterback at the end of a game in a championship caliber game it’s tough, but I’m real proud of our guys’ effort and we’re going to learn from this,” Barry said.

It’s all about the same in NFL

Carolina teams that were the second and fifth seeds in the NFC playoffs last year, and ranked third and second respectively in scoring defense, are both 2-2 and now rank 13th and 17th in points allowed.

We feared the Jets and Falcons could be extremely difficult road trips and yet, through four weeks, New York is 1-3 and resides in the Bears win column, as do the 49ers, and the Falcons are 2-2, but currently ranked 31st in the NFL in total defense and 29th in points allowed.

Miami was a popular AFC preseason wild card pick.

The Dolphins started out on fire this year, upsetting the Patriots. But then they were embarrassingly bad, getting stoned in Buffalo and spanked at home by a Chiefs team that was 0-2 at the time.

The Dolphins whacked the Raiders in London to get back

Watch Hub Arkush and the rest of our coverage team break down this weekend’s Bears game on “Chicago Football Now” at 10:30 a.m.

Saturday on WCIU The U or at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on The U Too. to 2-2, but that’s the equivalent of beating up on the little sisters of the poor.

Buffalo was viewed as a rare winnable game for the Bears in their opener at Soldier Field, yet they found a way to lose. Buffalo went on to beat the Dolphins in Week 2, but then fell apart against San Diego and Houston to drop them to 2-2.

The Patriots still lurk at home for the Bears in Week 8. We suspect they’ll be pretty good by then, but all we know at the moment is they struggled to get by the Raiders in Week 3, and Oakland is almost certainly the worst team in the league.

Finally, there are the Pack-

ers, who’d been atrocious on defense and struggled to run the ball before coming to Soldier Field and letting the Bears run up 496 yards of total offense on them. Yet, they still found a way to beat the Bears, and by three touchdowns.

Is there a lesson in any of this? Only that the Bears are about six or seven plays over four games away from being 4-0, or 0-4. As of this writing, they were seemingly like everyone else – of course, 2-2.

And one more thing.

Through four games, we still really have no idea who the Bears are, or who their main competition is going to be as they fight for a spot in the playoffs.

It appeared after four weeks that the Bears offense was capable of playing with the best in the NFL. Or are they?

For all the plays the Bears seem to have made and all their trips up and down the field, they were just 19th in the league in total offense and 16th in points per game through four weeks. Can that get a team to the playoffs, particularly when it’s

22nd in defense and 22nd in points allowed per game? In today’s NFL it can, as long as the team makes a few big plays along the way, and as long as the bulk of its competition is as mediocre as the Bears are.

The Bears should continue to get better on offense.

Defense is the big question.

As the Bears learned from the Packers in Week 4, shootouts are awfully hard to win and even harder to control. But if you can score points, it only takes a few plays a game on defense in this league to steal wins.

The good news for the Bears through the first quarter of the season is that other than perhaps Seattle, there’s no one in the NFC who’s going to run away and hide from them. The final question is, can they be just a little bit better than the rest, because there’s still plenty of time left, and it doesn’t take much in the NFL today.

It seems like for the past decade, or even two, we’ve been debating the quality of NFL teams. Has pro football become truly mediocre, with no more than two, three or four teams really worth getting excited about? Or is everybody just that good?

Many of us spent the better part of May, June and July bemoaning the difficulty of the Bears early schedule this year, with six of the first nine games on the road and five of those against 2013 playoff teams.

Nobody wanted to listen when I warned everyone to relax, and tried to remind Bears fans that the way things change overnight in today’s NFL, that schedule might look a lot different by the time the Bears actually get to play it.

Here we are just four weeks into the 2014 season, and not one of those teams the Bears face over their first nine games is over .500. The San Francisco and
