District 181 adds second Troy superintendent ZACHARY WHITE

Know more

zwhite@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Community Consolidated School District 181 has plucked another superintendent from the Troy Community Consolidated School District.

Former Troy Director of Operations Ken Surma has accepted a position at District 181 as its assistant superintendent of information services and operations. He will rejoin Hinsdale Superintendent Don

For information on Community Consolidated School District 181, visit http://www. d181.org.

White, who was the Troy superintendent until resigning in May and accepting the open District 181 superintendent position.

Surma’s new job is part of a reorganization of the super-

intendents office, and he will oversee all data and operations within the district, making improvements when necessary, White said.

“He will be working in a CIO role, like that of a private corporation,” White said.

White added Surma also will be looking for ways to save the district money. His duties could include bidding out contracts to find less expensive alternative business, or finding ways to save on transportation costs, White said.

He also will analyze technology purchases inside and outside of the classrooms, as well as facility needs. White said the goal is for Surma to improve the district in all areas.

The position replaces the former assistant superintendent of learning position that was held by Kevin Russell, who left D-181 earlier this summer.

White said the structural change came after he started piecing together the districts’

needs after speaking with parents and community members.

Surma and White previously worked together in the Troy School District for seven years, with Surma stepping in as interim superintendent of Troy when White took his job in D-181.

Surma’s salary will be $135,000. During the 2013-14 school year, Russell made $140,670.

Surma will take over his new position July 21.

District 86 teachers, board remain at odds as talks resume HINSDALE – Hinsdale Township High School District 86 Board President Dr. Richard Skoda and board Vice President Ed Corcoran held a closed doors press conference Monday, restricting access to the public and the Hinsdale High School Teachers Association.

The meeting – held at the District 86 administration building – consisted of both Skoda and Corcoran outlining the board’s viewpoints for members of the press without

residents, district teachers or other board members present.

The speakers also discussed a newsletter that was sent to the press Monday with the headline, “District Offer Is More Than Fair,” which Skoda said will be mailed to taxpayers.

For the board, the main issues remains salaries and health benefits. The district’s current salary offer – which Skoda said has not changed since negotiations began in March – is a combination of merit and Consumer Price Index factors.

The offer would present

district staff with a 1.7 percent CPI and employees who earn $73,000 or less would get a raise of about 1.28 percent as well as a one time, noncompounding bonus of $500 if they are deemed “proficient,” or a $1,250 bonus if he or she is rated “excellent.”

Teachers or certified staff who earn more than $73,000 would get a raise of 50 percent of the CPI, or about 0.85 percent.

Bonuses for this group would be $500 if the teachers are rated as proficient and $1,000 if he or she is evaluated as excellent.

But the district’s offer was

met with skepticism from Hinsdale High School Teachers Association spokesperson Mike Palmquist.

“Since they have offered such a radical proposal, Mr. Skoda and Mr. Corcoran have a lot of explaining to do,” Palmquist said in an email. “Their current offer eliminates the salary schedule, which all 91 high school districts in the state use.

Their offer will drastically reduce the earnings potential of teachers, making District 86 the lowest paid district in the area for new teachers.”

He added the board’s offer will reduce the take home pay of 70 percent of the teachers.

The two sides also remain at odds over health benefits. While the teachers have offered to increase the $181 family premium by 15 percent to $209 a month, the board wants to raise the premiums by 400 percent.

“The teachers’ total salary and benefits offer is less than 1 percent higher than last year,” Palmquist said. “It is a fair and sustainable offer that maintains the competitive salary schedule and benefits package that the district currently offers while keeping salary and benefit costs

well below CPI.” The board and the teachers union held a mediation session Tuesday and are scheduled to meet again Thursday. Corcoran said the board will meet as often as possible to help this move forward.

“We completely recognize the level of anxiety by not having a contract with our employees is unhealthy,” Corcoran said. “The level of anxiety is even higher with the parents having the overhang of having a strike in the fall and so right thing is for everyone to do is to eliminate this.”

At this time, District 86 ranks as the second highest paid district in Illinois with the average teacher taking home $111,000 per year, compared to the average teaching salary of $59,113.

Corcoran said remaining the second highest paying district is not a priority in these negotiations.

“What’s important is that we have a fair contract,” Corcoran said.

Looking ahead, Corcoran said there’s no reason to start the academic school year without a new teachers contract.

Optimize your Chances of Being a Satisfied Hearing Aid Wearer By: Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D. ~ Doctor of Audiology There is nothing more important to the manufacturers of hearing aids and the experienced audiologists (hearing specialist) that fit them than your satisfaction with their product and their services. Like any smart business person, they know that satisfied customers lead to repeat business and to positive word-of-mouth advertising. This has been a very important factor in our business. The audiologist needs to ensure that they have done everything possible to meet your needs. You also have an important roll to play in assuring your satisfaction with new hearing aids. Here are some suggestions for optimizing the chances that you will be a satisfied hearing aid user.

3. Choice of Technology Dr. Sergei Kochkin of the Better Hearing Institute has conducted many research studies

Since the 1990s, the hearing aid industry has reduced the size of hearing aids significantly. The problem is that the smallest hearing aid may not be the most suitable hearing solution for each person. However, many of the newest behind-the-ear aids are very small and have tiny tube going inside the ear to improve the looks of wearing a hearing aid and to have a more open ear feeling. Your audiologist can work with you to determine and select the size and type of device best suited for your hearing needs.

Advanced hearing aid technology can compensate for most hearing losses, but there are many who are not ready to accept this fact. People with hearing loss are in different stages of readiness to obtain help. The most satisfied hearing aid users are those that are highly motivated to improve their hearing. These individuals have an infinitely better chance of success with hearing aids. They recognize their hearing loss and are open to change. They tend to seek out relevant information related to hearing loss and the technology available to them. They are more likely to discuss problems with their audiologist at follow-up visits to have adjustments made and learn to adapt to their new hearing ability.

If you wear hearing aids and are dissatisfied with your hearing, or you are interested in enriching your hearing experience by exploring hearing aids for the first time, be sure to visit your licensed audiologist soon. You’ll be glad you did.

Why Choose an Audiologist at Best Hearing Center?

Foster hosts civil rights discussion in Darien SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DARIEN – Congressman Bill Foster held a discussion on civil rights with community leaders on Monday in Darien.

The discussion focused on the progress the country has made in the last 50 years, and where it’s headed over the next 50 years. July 2 marked the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Speakers included the Rev. Kevin J. Bedford, Senior Pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in Aurora and a retired Navy Chaplin; Lulu Blacksmith, Director of Federal and Cultural Relations at Waubonsee Community College; Lorraine Guerrero, who oversees the school-based mentor programs at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy counties; and Mario Lambert, President of

the DuPage County NAACP. Foster’s father was a civil rights lawyer who had a significant role writing the enforcement language behind Title VI of the Civil Rights Act – the section that was used to desegregate public school systems in the South, according to a news release. “... As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, it is important that

Extra focus was put on the

we take a look at the next 50 years,” Foster said in the release. “There are many issues we face today, including closing the pay gap between men and women, ensuring all students have access to a quality education, closing the income equality gap, and protecting the voting rights of all Americans.

“Equality is not something that can be achieved over-

night, but is something we as a community must continue to fight for. In Congress, I will continue to fight to ensure that every American has the chance to realize the American dream.”

Foster represents Illinois’ 11th Congressional District, which includes parts of Darien, Burr Ridge, Bolingbrook, Woodridge, Naperville and Lisle.

The day includes a variety of events such as a 3k run, the Rooney 5k Run, Morgan Stanley 10k Run, a 5k walk, Birches Walk & Roll and The Doings Mutt Strut.

Clarendon Hills Downtown Master Plan moves forward

By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com CLARENDON HILLS – The Clarendon Hills Planning and Zoning Board heard little dissent to the Downtown Master Plan during the first public hearing.

On June 26, only a few residents voiced concerns during the first of two public hearings, but there is a topic that has created a bit of a stir between residents.

“The biggest issue that’s coming out of it is the potential heights of the buildings,” said Greg Jordan, master plan land use committee chairman.

The first hearing was aimed at the design goals of downtown, however, that didn’t keep residents who attended the June meeting from voicing their concerns that taller buildings in the downtown area could do more than just disrupt the scenic view.

“There are people who think that is troubling to them because they think that would change the character of the downtown,” Jordan said.

Clarendon Hills Community Development Director Dan Ungerleider said other residents have expressed opinions that buildings should not be limited in height.

Know more For more more information on the downtown master plan, visit shawurl.com/1afa.

Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com

Passengers get off an eastbound Burlington Northern Metra train May 6 at Clarendon Hills.

“We had one gentleman who said we should have a building taller than five stories,” Ungerleider said.

While Ungerleider ex plained there have been residents on both sides of the issue, he said there is one point that will determine how tall

the village can grow.

“Is it financially feasible is the question,” he said.

The second scheduled Clarendon Hills Village Hall meeting on July 17 was to be for discussing land-use issues related to the Master Plan, including the issue of how tall a building can be.

A design idea that has stayed with the plan so far is to include a Park Avenue bike route, which would run through the downtown from Hinsdale to Westmont.

Jordan said the bike path may not make it in the final plan.

“I don’t know whether it’s going to go forward or not,” he said.

But Ungerleider disagreed, adding that the bike path is still part of the plan, and if the plan is approved staff should start working with the community on the bike route.

Another part of past discussions has been the possibility of combining the Metra station, Village Hall, library and post office into a multiple-use facility that houses all three buildings. This would be done in order to free up those properties for other uses.

However, Jordan said the desire and the ability to do so are not soon to be aligned.

“That’s far off,” he said.

The next step following the public hearing recommendations will be whether to approve, change or deny the new master plan draft.

If passed, the plan would then go back to the Board of Trustees for final approval.

Missing emails: The scandal within a scandal A year into the IRS scandal, we still don’t have a full picture of how a federal agency with the power to reach into the lives of every individual American began systematically targeting people based on their personal political and religious beliefs.

Congressional investigators have narrowed their focus to a handful of employees within the IRS’ tax exempt division, including the former head of the office, Lois Lerner. In the latest twist, the IRS is now claiming to have “lost” over two years of Lerner’s emails in a massive hard drive crash.

Spanning the height of the IRS’ targeting activity, ConCOMMUNITY gress began requesting access VOICE to the Lerner emails shortly Peter Roskam after the scandal broke – and yet the Administration knew about the so-called massive computer crash for months before coming forward to the public.

The missing emails are the latest evasion from administration officials. Beginning in 2010, conservative donors and groups applying for tax exempt status were singled out for scrutiny by the IRS, but agency officials repeatedly denied the practice was taking place. In fact, when pressed in the spring of 2012, former IRS Commissioner Douglas Schulman testified that there was “absolutely no targeting” of conservative groups. In May of 2013, Lerner admitted conservative groups were targeted by responding to a planted question at a tax conference, apologizing and blaming low-level staff in the Cincinnati office. In the weeks and months to follow, IRS officials would repeatedly attempt cast blame on low-level bureaucrats, but emails obtained by investigators revealed the targeting was in fact directed by officials in Washington, including Lois Lerner.

Meanwhile, a federal judge is set to determine if an outside expert can be called to retrieve Lois Lerner’s emails, considered evidence in a lawsuit filed by one of the conservative groups that faced severe scrutiny. Federal law requires agencies to save official records, which in this case would likely include the missing emails. The head of the National Archives and Records Administration recently told Congress that in failing to properly save documents or report the hard drive crash, the IRS “did not follow the law.”

The IRS claiming a computer crash destroyed pertinent email evidence wouldn’t work for the average citizen who is required by federal law to keep tax records in the event of an IRS audit, and so the IRS should be held to the same standard. Congressional investigators are continuing their work to get to the bottom of the missing emails as well as the larger IRS targeting scandal.

I’d like to comment on the recent driving under the influence arrest of Westmont Village Manager Ron Searl. I’m extremely concerned with the example the village is setting for our children, the community and our reputation. Our fire chief was arrested and fired about two years ago for a DUI. And now this happens to our village manager, who sets a precedent and whose the behavior should be impeccable, and who is an example for the Village of Westmont. I’m really wondering how this case is going to be handled going forward due to his position and how the other employees’ cases have been dealt with.

Facing an uncertain future County fair returns for 60th year

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com WHEATON-The DuPage County Fair has been entertaining local families for six decades, and will do so again this year – despite questions about its future.

The festivities, which run July 23 to 27, will mark the 60th celebration and include a number of new attractions, said DuPage County Fair Executive Board President Chuck Ingram.

“We try and mix things up,” he said. “People say ‘Well, I like tractor pulls.’

And tractor pulls are nice, but if you see the same thing year after year you don’t appreciate it as much. So we try to bring in our monster trucks, our demolition derbies, ‘Axe Women from Maine’ and stuff like that. We try and keep things fresh for people.”

However, there is also a degree of tradition, Ingram said.

Pie eating, rope making and cattle shows all capture the fair’s sense of old-time fun.

“It’s family friendly,” he said. “We educate people on our livestock ... we show our home ec area with people growing fruit and things on display, showing how this stuff all looks before it’s all processed. We’re probably more important in our county than others are in their counties. In rural areas you don’t see a lot of people going to the cattle section, because that’s their life there.”

Despite increasing attendance, the county is looking at moving the fairgrounds, currently at 2015 Manchester Road in Wheaton, elsewhere.

A task force has been formed to determine the best course

Kids ride the Dragon Wagon on the first day of the 2013 DuPage County Fair. The fair returns July 23. of action for the Wheaton property.

“Their lease goes through 2020, so we’re going to have some discussions about what’s the best use of that property in the future,” said County Board member Grant Eckhoff in an interview in 2013. “It’s a small area now for a county fair and it is sort of shoehorned in there.”

A report was anticipated earlier this year, but now is expected in the coming months, Ingram said. Should the group decide to keep the fairgrounds where they are, several infrastructure improvements will likely be needed.

Ingram said the fair has upgraded some of its facilities already, including its electrical grid, but that the board would soon present ideas for future land use and fair improvements, including a multiuse exhibition hall and an indoor soccer field.

“They’re looking to find the best use of county property there,” he said. “But it belongs to all of DuPage County, and that’s something we’ve been stressing. It’s not just Wheaton, even if the school district or park district want to take it over, it belongs to all of DuPage County.”

Waller was the only candidate in attendance Thursday and said he was happy about the decision and looking forward to his upcoming contest against District 1 incumbent Paul Fichtner.

“I was extremely impressed at the fact that politics played no role in this,” he said. “I thought it was going to. I think the chairman of this committee – I was told she goes by the book, and that’s what I observed. They just dealt with the facts.”

The two were nominated by a subcommittee, as opposed to a full nominating committee, and the Republican Party said neither gave all precinct committeemen proper notice of nomination.

Odelson said some previous appellate court statutes granted flexibility on both issues, and in some situations where “minimal” requirements were met, deference went toward putting candidates on the ballot.

The board previously ruled on Havlick’s and Wolter’s cases at its June 27 meeting, at which it heard arguments on both sides of the debate. Neither candidate obtained the requisite number of petition signatures after the commission threw out several, Odelson said.

That means the District 2 re-election bid of Pete DiCianni and Joe Cantore’s forest preserve presidential hopes will be uncontested.

The Democratic representation on the DuPage County ballot come November will be more sparse than party officials hoped – but not as sparse as it could have been.

On Thursday, the DuPage County Election Commission Board voted to remove Marian Tomlinson from the ballot, who petitioned to run against Republican Peter Breen for the 48th District General Assembly representative seat.

The commission also voted to confirm its earlier decision to remove Max J. Havlick and Brian Wolter, who were running for the DuPage County

Board seat for District 2 and the Forest Preserve District presidency, respectively.

All three were challenged by the Republican Party after being petitioned onto the ballot after the primary election.

The challenge to Tomlinson stemmed from two complaints. The Republican Party said Democratic leadership did not give proper notification to Republican committeemen about the selection and did not follow state law when nominating her.

Counsel Burt Odelson said Democratic Party Commissioner Robert Peickert is required to be one of three committee members to sign off on the nomination of a senator or representative. Peickert’s name was not on any official documentation, so while it was decided the Republican’s

Restaurant reviews

Blackberry Market also an appealing eatery GLEN ELLYN – With its organic, down-to-earth ambiance, Blackberry Market provides a relaxing and satisfying dining experience.

Upon entering the restaurant in downtown Glen Ellyn, guests are greeted by a quaint market area to the left, and a walk-up coffee and bakery counter on the right. My nose immediately pulled me in the direction of the main counter, where I found an array of enticing dishes such as balsamic pasta salad, zucchini-orzo and chipotle sweet potatoes.

Not knowing where to start, my companion and I took a step back, allowing ourselves to take in the display case offerings along with the menu hanging from the ceiling.

My fellow diner chose to do the mix-and-match order, selecting half a turkey, apple and Gouda sandwich paired with half of the Italian Chop Chop Salad.

The sandwich – served exactly how it sounds – was dressed with a sweet cranberry spread providing the perfect amount of added zing.

And the salad, made with cubed salami, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onions and chopped green beans, was served with a creamy mustard vinaigrette dressing that kept you wanting more.

The restaurant staff brings orders to patrons in the attractive dining area, with exposed brick accents.

To satisfy my palate, I ordered the grilled Gouda and caramelized onion sandwich with a side of hash-brown salad. I can still taste the mouth-watering crunch of the potatoes.

Together again

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com Christian Bokich and Adam Dressler were teammates on Hinsdale Central’s baseball team last spring but went their separate ways after graduation.

Bokich continued his career at Miami of Ohio while Dressler landed with Purdue.

This summer they are once again teammates with the DuPage County Hounds of the Midwest Collegiate League.

In fact, Bokich and Dressler are just two of the many players who competed in the West Suburban Conference that play for the Hounds.

Ryan Hinchley played for York High School, Connor Kopach played at Downers Grove North and Nick Alfi-

ni graduated from Downers Grove South.

“It’s so good to be around guys from different schools and a lot of guys from the area,” Bokich said. “A lot of us played against each other in high school and we were almost like rivals, but now we’re together and we laugh about how we played in the West Suburban Conference.

We have a lot of fun and the camaraderie is unbelievable.”

Christian Bokich, Adam Dressler baseball teammates for DuPage County Hounds

Going from being on-field rivals to teammates hasn’t been a difficult change for Dressler to make.

“This team, I just love these guys, and there’s actually some guys I played against in high school so I get to see them again except now we’re on the same team,” he said. “It’s been a lot of fun.”

As for on the field, Bokich and Dressler have the same goals in mind this summer, and those are to build arm strength and hone their pitching repertoires. In that regard, the summer has been nothing but a success for each of them.

Both said they can feel their arms getting stronger and their pitches getting a little sharper.

“I’m developing my knuckle-change a lot this summer,”

Bokich said. “It’s my best pitch, it’s my out pitch and honestly, I don’t think I threw it enough this spring. So this summer, I’ve been throwing it a lot as my strikeout pitch and even in counts where batters wouldn’t expect it. I’ve really been developing my change and off speed stuff especially but also my velocity.”

Dressler’s aim is to earn a starting spot for the Boilermakers after seeing time primarily as a reliever this spring. He feels playing for the Hounds has him on track to reach that goal.

“This summer I really wanted to focus on building my arm strength so I could be ready for the fall when I go back school and hopefully be competing for a starting rotation spot,” he said. “That’s my

focus right now. Working on my off speed pitches and building arm strength.”

The MCL features dozens of NCAA Division I players as well as players from other levels of the NCAA and also the NAIA. While competitive, collegiate summer leagues like the Cape Cod League or the Northwoods League are a bit more notable. Yet both can see themselves returning for another go-round in the league next summer.

“I’ll probably try to see if I can go to a different league next year, but I’m having fun here so I’d definitely say it’s an option for next year,” Dressler said.

“We’ll see what happens,” Bokich said, “but honestly I would love to do it again next year.”

DuPage County Hounds player Clayton Johannes (right) looks back to see how far away the ball went after stealing second base in the July 11 home game against the Joliet Admirals.

The Hounds, who play home games at Benedictine University, and Admirals are two of six teams in the league.

Shining on the diamond SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Baseball fans hoping to catch a glimpse of local players who are continuing their careers in college have that chance with the Midwest Collegiate League.

The MCL, which brings together college players from around the country and assigns them to six teams in the league, includes the DuPage County Hounds and the Joliet Admirals, which both feature several local players.

The Chicago Zephyrs, Lexington Snipes, Northwest Indiana Oilmen and Southland Vikings are the other four teams in the league.

The league also may boast some star power – 10 former or

current MCL players were selected in June in the MLB Draft.

A fan-friendly atmosphere puts spectators up close to the action, and the Hounds even offer free post-game autographs from their players.

The Hounds play at Benedictine University in Lisle and have remaining home games today, Sunday, Tuesday, July 25 and 27.

Joliet Junior College is the home for the Admirals, who have home games remaining Sunday, Tuesday, July 23, 24 and 25.

Information about the Midwest Collegiate League and its teams can be found by visiting midwestcollegiateleague.com.
