collecting a win and six podiums. Additionally, in 2012, Mitchell finished as the vice champion in the Skip Barber Summer Series, securing six wins and eighteen podiums in twenty races.

He also was named to the Team USA Scholarship and traveled England to compete in the Brands Hatch Formula Ford Festival and the Walter Hayes Trophy race.

Mitchell said it was initially hard to break into the racing community as a 13-year-old.

“Most people start go-karting and stuff when they’re 5,” Mitchell said. “It was really hard to break into the racing circle because people had been go-karting at the same tracks for literally like 10 years before I had even gotten in a car.”

Zachary White - zwhite@shawmedia.com Mitchell also noted he is Jack Mitchell Jr., 18, of Clarendon Hills finishes in second place twice the youngest driver in his in two races July 17 and 18 in Toronto as part of the Toyo Tires F1600 current racing series and has A-Class Championship Series. been one of the youngest drivers for most of the time he has been racing, often competing him in the car, shifted it into been driving in the Toyo Tires against men in their early 20s.

per hour, age is often irrelevant.

“You can set up the car differently, but in the end, its just kind of how you drive it,” Mitchell said.

Even though he’s in the fast lane, Mitchell said it’s a long drive to the top.

Like a soccer or baseball player working through minor league ranks, Mitchell has to make it through the racing farm system by winning races in the USF2000 Championship Series, then moving up and winning in the Pro Mazda Championship and finally proving himself in the Firestone Indy Lights before reaching the pinnacle of open-wheel racing, the IndyCar Series.

The road ahead is long and bumpy, which is why his father thinks school is the best option.

“The most important thing is for him to get an education,” John Mitchell said.

“A lot of the guys out there are putting all their time into racing and aren’t [getting an education].”

With the goal of double majoring in biology and economics, Mitchell may have his work cut out for him, but he is unwilling to let the future workload slow him down.

“If I could put it in one sentence, I would say “just go for it – go for the gap,” Mitchell said. Because if you hesitate – and I’m sure it’s true in life – it just doesn’t work out.”

CLARENDON HILLS – In four years, Jack Mitchell Jr.’s goal is to have a degree from Marquette University and a renewed license that encourages him to drive more than double the speed limit.

The 18-year-old Clarendon Hills resident is not only embarking on an undergraduate degree this fall, he’s chasing a dream of becoming a professional IndyCar driver, something he thinks is a very tangible goal.

If 2013 is any indication, Mitchell may be well on his way. In October, after securing sponsorships with Sparco, Honda and Spectrum, Mitchell was named lead driver of the Canadian team Exclusive Autosport and won the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship A-Class Championship.

He is off to a good start this season, too, reaching the podium after finishing second July 17 in a F1600 Championship race in Toronto.

“There’s nothing stopping me from being in the Indy 500 out of college,” he said. “All I have to do is win.”

A recent Fenwick High School graduate, Mitchell first got into a car at the age of 13 when he was visiting Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis. His father, John Mitchell, had taken up racing and offered his son a chance to get in the drivers seat.

“I was just watching, really had no interest in racing at all,” Mitchell said. “He asked me if I would do it, and I was like ‘oh yeah, of course!’ Any kid would want to do that.”

So his father and members of the Road America staff put

Parking pay box to be added to downtown lot

By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – The village of Hinsdale soon will implement the first change in an attempt to alleviate downtown parking woes.

During a Hinsdale Zoning and Public Safety Committee meeting Monday, village officials announced that an electronic pay box will be installed in the Garfield Street parking lot in downtown Hinsdale.

The pay box will be a trial run to see if paying for parking through a smartphone app is a viable option for downtown shoppers and commuters.

“Our hope is we’re going to

have a lot of regular users using the parking app,” Hinsdale Police Chief Brad Bloom said.

The move is in part a reaction to a recent study by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning that found people visiting the downtown can’t find a place to park because 15 to 30 percent of street parking is being used by employees.

Residents will be able to access the new pay box manually or through a smartphone app, selecting the spot where their vehicle is parked, then paying for the desired hours and corresponding fee. Unlike some pay boxes, these will not print out tickets that are displayed on vehicle dashboards.

Changes to the pay box system could be made as early as Sept. 1, and other changes will come after, albeit slowly.

Pay boxes already are being used in the commuter lots downtown. Currently, those commuters use the paybox app more frequently than any other stop along the route that runs from Aurora to Chicago, according to Bloom.

“Because we’re seeing so much use of the app in the commuter lots, it’s kind of raised our level of confidence,” he said.

Bloom pointed out that the app would be more convenient during the winter when making a trek through the snow to

get to a pay box becomes grueling; or when shoppers are running low on time, they could be alerted of how long they have left in parking and could pay with a click of a button.

If the app system catches on, parking meters throughout downtown would slowly be replaced by pay boxes. If the system is deemed successful, there will be fewer pay boxes than meters because one box accounts for several parking spots.

During Monday’s meeting, village officials also discussed possibly increasing the parking limit from two hours to six hours and adding 15-minute parking spaces on the corners

of each block.

But the zoning and public safety commission has no timetable when the additional parking changes could be approved or implemented.

“This is an unusual type of project,” Village Trustee Bob Saigh said. “There’s going to be some trial and error.”

Because village officials are unsure how changes to parking will impact the downtown, there is no concrete schedule.

However, Saigh said the Zoning and Public Safety Committee will have ongoing discussions at its monthly meetings and the village board will be able to discuss the changes, as well.

D-86 Teachers Association says school will start on time SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA HINSDALE – The Hinsdale High School Teachers Association announced July 25 that the upcoming school year will start on time regardless of the recent negotiations between the association and the school board.

In June, the association

made a counter proposal to the board that keeps the district competitive with other districts and increases the teachers’ share of health care costs, according to a news release from the teachers union.

At Monday’s meeting, the board made a counter proposal that increased teacher health-

care costs more than their previous offer, according to teachers association spokesman Mike Palmquist.

With students’ first day of attendance weeks away on Aug. 22, the teachers voiced confidence to the community and to students that the school year will begin on time as scheduled,

according to the release.

Faculty will attend all previously scheduled pre-student attendance day events, workshops, meetings and orientations with the overall goal to provide the vital strong start to the academic calendar.

Richard and Martha (Weber) Herrick of Darien will celebrate their 75th Wedding Anniversary August 5 with family and friends. The couple married at St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic Church in South Bend, Indiana on that date in 1939.

Richard, 97 and Martha, 95, tied the knot in a double-ring ceremony.

The bride wore a gown of white satin, with a fingertip veil and carried a bouquet of white roses. Mary Weber, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and wore a baby blue gown with a crown of peach roses and a matching bouquet. Donald Herrick, the groom’s brother, was best man.

After the ceremony a breakfast for 36 was served at the home of the bride’s parents.

But 75 years later the couple is still going strong having raised six children and are the proud grandparents of 18 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and 5 great-great grandchildren.

Richard and Martha have attended Our Lady Of Peace Catholic Church in Darien for more than 47 years.

from the community informs us that our priorities are aligned with theirs,” said John Bowman, president of the teachers’ association, in a statement. “Parents, students and community members, alongside teachers, all agree that the district’s top priority must be providing a bestin-the-state education to the students without delay by the board’s radical proposals.

“The start of the school year is important for our students and our teachers,” Bowman said. “Autumn is the heart of the college application process, the start for our award-winning clubs, music programs, plays, championship athletics and the first step in a year of academic pursuit for all students. Students deserve to start the year as scheduled, on time.

We eagerly await the board’s long-delayed counter proposal to make a smooth beginning of everyone’s year. Now is not the time for their extreme political agenda to derail school.”

The District 86 School Board and the teachers currently are in federal mediation, and accordingly, are not to discuss details of negotiations in public. Teachers will continue to abide by the process of mediation and not publicly discuss details of ongoing negotiations, instead, bargaining in good faith that a fair, balanced and sustainable agreement will be met, according to the news release.

White: How were you chosen for the executive director position?

Marchetti: I was chosen through a six-month process.

There was a national search, we posted it on our association’s career center and collected resumes from about 70 candidates, then we hired a third-party search firm to get unbiased answers and opinions about the candidates.

The search was then narrowed down to 10 candidates, and

Marchetti: I have been with the organization for 14 years – I have a passion for the hospitality industry. Prior to working with this particular organization, I was with a marketing company and my clients were the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago, so I was very involved in those tourism industries.

I always loved being in hospitality and came out to DuPage in 1999, and I’ve been in several different roles with this organization. This is my passion and I have been groomed for the role, previously taking part in legislation and grant writing, making presentations to our municipalities and working in different departments of this organization.

Walgreens move would be bad news for U.S. SPRINGFIELD – I picked up my vacation photos at Walgreens the other day. And I didn’t hear any French, German or Italian spoken.

How surprising.

I’ve read that the drugstore chain is considering becoming a Swiss corporation. I’ll admit the thought of a company that is essentially an American icon becoming a foreign corporation gives me pause. After all, Walgreens is one of Illinois’ premier companies. It was founded here in 1901 and is headquartered in Deerfield. And now they are talking about moving their headquarters to Switzerland.

VIEWS I would hate to see WalScott greens – or any other corReeder poration – renounce its U.S. citizenship. Every time that happens, it reminds us that the business climate in this country is not what it should be. One has to ask, why would a corporation founded in Illinois 113 years ago want to become Swiss?

The answer is as obvious as the Matterhorn.

Corporate taxes in Illinois and the United States are too high. Way too high. The United States has the highest corporate tax rates on the planet. And, you guessed it, Illinois has one of the highest state corporate tax rates in the U.S. Business corporations exist to make money by serving people. And when government makes it harder to earn in one place, they will look elsewhere.

When a company switches in what country it will be incorporated, as Walgreens is considering, it still pays taxes to the U.S. government on its U.S. earnings. And it would be paying them at the same rate that it always has. On money it makes overseas it would pay that country’s rate. Seems fair, right?

Unfortunately, the U.S. expects companies headquartered here to pay the equivalent of the full U.S. rate on money earned elsewhere. So U.S. companies that do business overseas choose to move their headquarters elsewhere.

So what’s the solution? The answer would seem to be to lower the corporate income tax rate so that it is competitive with other western nations. In fact, if the U.S. had the same tax policies as Switzerland – or most Western nations – Walgreens would pay billions less in taxes and wouldn’t be considering moving.

The billions saved could go to shareholders in the form of dividends, to employees through higher pay and customers through lower prices.

And what could be more American than that?

America’s main language is English, correct? If this is true then why are there so many billboards in other languages? Back when America was accepting thousands of immigrants, they were required to learn English. There were interpreters, but there was no exception. If you wanted a job, learning English was your ticket. … Now, in order to get a job we, the English speakers, must learn another language. Don’t make us learn their language. We aren’t in their home country, they are in ours. Make them learn our language. Whatever language you speak in your house is your business, but don’t expect people on the street, in a store or elsewhere to cater to you. … If I was in their home country, I would try my best to learn the basics of their language. Be polite and courteous, learn English!

Greenthumb deserves hug

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Up until recently, six short-lived EF1 tornadoes spawned by two storms that tore through northern Illinois on June 30 might have been all but invisible to the National Weather Service.

The closest, which touched down briefly between Plainfield and Romeoville, was “embedded” in the storm front, Matt Friedlein said, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Romeoville office.

“All of the tornadoes happened in less time than the old radar scanning strategy takes,” Friedlein said.

• DOPPLER Continued from page 13 Atmosphere scans by the weather service’s Doppler radar – the massive white bubble that towers over Lewis University Airport – once took about five minutes to complete. The Doppler – basically a rotating radar dish enclosed by the bubble – used to progressively scan the horizon from 0.5 to 19.5 degrees.

The Plainfield-Romeoville tornado was on the ground for less than three minutes, a short enough time to form and dissipate in between scanning intervals.

But a new system installed in June at the Romeoville office now scans lower elevations every 1.8 to 2.5 minutes.

The system, called Supplemental Adaptive Intra-Volume Low-Level Scan or SAILS (see graphic), emphasizes scanning at elevations of 0.5 to 3.1 degrees, the area where tornadoes touch down.

“We really focus on rotation closest to the ground,” Friedlein said. “A lot of storms rotate aloft, but to see that intensifying trend close to the ground is a key for meteorologists to issue tornado warnings.”

While air movement itself is invisible to Doppler, the radar can see which way raindrops or hail are moving within a storm, Friedlein said.

Dust clouds or insects sometimes can be used, he said.

“The lowest angle down to the ground is where the key features of storms can be found,” Friedlein said. “Doppler allows us to see phase changes in the storm, such as changes in wind speed, direction and movement, including rotation.”

Just in time The system was almost made-to-order for the two June 30 storms. The powerful bow-shaped fronts, known as derechos, caused widespread damage in Will and Grundy counties, with downed trees and power lines knocking out power to nearly 400,000 utility customers at one point.

The fronts were moving so quickly – up to 60 mph according to Friedlein – that the storms only lasted a few minutes before moving on to

A guide to SAILS shows how the Doppler radar scans the sky.

the east. And while most of the storm damage was credited to straight-line winds, the EF1 tornadoes were a major concern.

“The tornadoes were shortlived, but they covered a few miles in a few minutes. So they were really hauling,” Friedlein said.

An EF1 tornado is the second lowest rating on the six-point scale used by meteorologists to rate tornadoes and is considered “weak.”

Still, an EF1 twister can have wind gusts from 86 to 110 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

The tornado spawned in LaSalle County by the storm, for instance, made a beeline for the village of Earlville, destroying one home and damaging several others, but caused no injuries.

“SAILS helps us to better detect rapidly intensifying storms and short-lived tornadoes,” Friedlein said.

Also new for Doppler is a radial noise filter that removes solar interference known as sun spikes from radar images, according to the weather service. Another new feature will enable the radar to automatically determine the best settings for viewing velocity data for the strongest storms in the radar’s coverage area.

Boots on the ground Yet, technology only can go so far, and forecasters still rely on weather spotters for data.

“The technology is great, but we’re not a point where we can see everything 100 percent,” said Harold Damron, director of Will County Emergency Management Agency. “It’s definitely a combination of eyes on the street and technology working in concert with each other.

“We get eyes-on reports from law enforcement, firefighters or other types of spotters stationed out there and feed them into the weather service. It allows them to correlate what we see with what they see on the radar.”

Jeremy Hylka, director of the Joliet Weather Center, agreed.

“As much technology as we have, nothing beats the eye from a spotter in the field,” Hylka said. “It goes without saying.”

One great advancement has been the ability to narrow down the geographic focus of weather warnings, Damron noted.

In years past, severe weather and tornado warnings would be issued on a county wide basis.

Yet, issuing warnings too frequently in too wide of an area can lead to other problems.

“You don’t want to get into that ‘cry wolf’ area,” Damron said.

Wireless alerts Meteorologists now can define a specific warning area on screen and issue a warning with the click of a mouse, Friedlein said.

The weather service now can issue wireless emergency alerts to cellphone towers in an affected area, which in turn will broadcast an audible noise and warning text to all newer smartphones within its range.

“It broadcasts a sound you’re not used to hearing,” Friedlein noted.

It’s a far cry from the old days when warnings were issued primarily by sirens, radio and TV. Damron said he got a clear view of the limitations of the older technology during last year’s anniversary of the Aug. 28, 1990, Plainfield tornado, when he viewed a blackand-white radar image of the storm.

“It was just a shock to look at it on the traditional round radar screen,” Damron said.

“It’s amazing how far we have come.”

Restaurant reviews

Oak Brook Pinstripes offers ‘sophisticated fun’ OAK BROOK – A luxurious reimagining of restaurant and bowling alley is at the playful heart of Pinstripes.

On a recent Sunday evening, we discovered it to be home to three B’s: a tempting bistro, indoor and outdoor bocce ball courts, and upscale bowling lanes.

Situated on the perimeter of Oakbrook Center, the expansive two-story building extends to private party spaces and patios landscaped for privacy, and boasting a water feature, fire pits and flaming torches that bring all the elements together for a fun night out as a couple or with friends and family.

Kids and adults will find bocce ball an easy game to pick up, and parents will relish the younger set having a ready diversion. But games are optional, because dining at Pinstripes is an attraction in itself.

The patio full, we sat in the all-season section outside the attractive bistro with its stone and wood decor and eye-catching wine cellar to complement the craft beer selection.

We were under a roof, but the walls – giant glass garage doors – were open to a beautiful summer night. Later on, with cappuccino in hand, we made our way to the circle of Adirondack chairs surrounding a fire pit.

We didn’t want an evening to end that had started with a basket of freshly baked, warm bread accompanied by herbed oil and Parmesan. My companion enjoyed a tomato basil soup, and then our wonderful entrees arrived.

He’d selected a wood-fired flatbread with fig and prosciutto, a generous eight slices that easily could double as an appetizer for four. The sweetand-savory balance of cheese and toppings was superb, and we both decided it was the closest we’d come in our eternal search for the perfect thin crust. Actually, I think we arrived.

Bolingbrook Golf Club

Cantigny Golf Club

Chicago Players Club

WHERE: 1001 Kings Road, Bolingbrook CONTACT: 630-771-9400 and bolingbrookgolfclub.com AMENITIES: Located apart from the main clubhouse, this practice center was voted among the top 50 public facilities in the country by the Golf Range Association of America in 2013. With 40 artificial turf mats and 75 grass tees, hundreds of golfers can hit at the same time. Sizable and well-manicured chipping and putting greens are on site, but what helps set this club apart is the practice holes. Four greens with two holes each align with several tee boxes and include all the obstacles – bunkers, fescue, rough – players might encounter on the course, allowing golfers to create their own practice holes that play up to 250 yards.

WHERE: 27W240 Mack Road, Wheaton CONTACT: 630-260-8199 and cantignygolf.com AMENITIES: Cantigny is home to a terrific practice facility with every possible amenity available for players looking to take their games to the next level. The facilities are well-maintained. There are nearly 70 hitting stations available on the range with both mats or grass tees, along with a chipping area and putting green, and the price for a bucket of range balls starts at just $7.

WHERE: 8500 W. 79th St., Justice CONTACT: 708-924-9889 and chicagoplayersclub.com AMENITIES: Located just south of Archer Avenue and a little east of La Grange Road, Chicago Players Club is a practice-only facility, but it still allows players to perfect their games. The club features 30 mats and 20 grass tees plus chipping and putting greens. A bucket of balls starts at $7, and there are heated hitting bays for players looking to stay sharp in colder months. Monthly memberships that include unlimited range balls are priced at $100, and a seasonal membership goes for $600. The amenities will get even better next year with the introduction of practice holes on site.

St. Andrews Golf Practice Center

The Village Links of Glen Ellyn

White Pines Golf Club

WHERE: 2241 Route 59, West Chicago CONTACT: 630-231-3160 and standrewsgc.com AMENITIES: The quality and size of this facility make it one of the best in the suburbs. Prices to hit off grass tees are a bit more expensive than that of mats; prices start at $4 a bucket. St. Andrews has 80 grass and 70 mat hitting stations in addition to putting and chipping greens. The grass tees close at dusk, but the mats are well lit for after-dark practice. This facility was voted among the top 50 public facilities in the country by the Golf Range Association of America in 2013.

WHERE: 485 Winchell Way, Glen Ellyn CONTACT: 630-469-8180 and villagelinksgolf.com AMENITIES: With the clubhouse having been recently rebuilt, the overall experience at Village Links seemingly gets better every year, and that includes the practice area.

The driving range offers more than 30 mats and also has grass tees to hit from, with buckets starting at $5. There also is a short game area and a putting green to hone short-game skills, and players can check their improvement by playing the Links’ nine-hole course, which is more forgiving than the challenging 18-hole circuit.

WHERE: 500 W. Jefferson St., Bensenville CONTACT: 630-766-0304 and whitepinesgolf.com AMENITIES: Grass and mats are available here on the same range, 30 of each, and there are two putting greens, but perhaps the best feature at White Pines is the availability of winter practice in the dome. It is open November through April and provides the ability to practice yearround. When in season, the dome is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily and includes 50 hitting stations on two levels along with a virtual golf simulator, five large target greens surrounded by bunkers, six suspended hitting targets and a 45-foot long contoured putting green.

Oak Meadows Golf Club

Prairie Landing Golf Club

WHERE: 900 N. Wood Dale Road, Addison CONTACT: 630-595-0071 and dupagegolf.com AMENITIES: Oak Meadows’ all-grass hitting area is the best feature here. Although it is a smaller facility than some others in the area, with more than 30 grass hitting stations, this is a great place to go to practice. Instruction with PGAcertified teaching professionals is available. A small bucket on the range costs $5 while a large one will run $9, and there is a chipping area and putting green on site to work on short-game skills.

WHERE: 2325 Longest Drive, West Chicago CONTACT: 630-208-7600 and prairielanding.com AMENITIES: One of the best features of the practice area at Prairie Landing is that, along with a range, there are two dedicated practice holes where players can work on strategy and hitting shots. Having actual golf holes is great for practicing things that can’t be tested on the range, such as uphill, downhill or sidehill lies and working on pre-shot routines. Both mats and grass tees can be used at the range, while there also is a chipping and putting green.

WHERE: 2606 York Road, Oak Brook CONTACT: 630-990-3032 and oak-brook.org/234/Golf-Club AMENITIES: One thing that sets Oak Brook apart from most practice facilities is that all of the 30 hitting stations on the driving range feature grass tees; there are no mats here. Hitting off grass tees in practice more closely resembles playing conditions out on the course and better prepares players for the rigors of a round. In addition to the driving range, where the price for a bucket of balls starts at $4.50, there is a large short-game near the range where players can practice the chipping and putting.

Maximize your practice time with a 1-hour routine The old adage says practice makes perfect, and the same holds true on the golf course.

Practicing is lots of fun – not! – but it can be if you do it properly and use your time well. There are so many things that can be fit into a good practice session that the room I have here is not nearly big enough to list 10 percent of them, but I will try to give you a few ideas to make it more structured and fun.

Let’s start by imagining the average practice session lasts one hour.

Here is how I suggest you split up the time.

0 to 5 minutes: Stretch, make warm-up swings with a low iron (I use a pitching wedge) and focus on keeping the swing as floppy and loose as possible. Do not worry how well you hit these shots.

5 to 10 minutes: Using a sand wedge or similar club, find a target within 50 yards and hit shots at it.

COMMUNITY VOICE IAN GRANT This should be a very easy swing and the effort level will be low. It also will help a great deal with your tempo and timing. Focus on the process of the swing making good shoulder turns and hitting each ball crisply.

10 to 20 minutes: Hit short-iron shots. Find a target on the range and hit wedge, 9-iron and 8-iron shots at it. Focus on keeping the swing fluid and finishing every shot in a pose you would be proud of if the Golf Magazine photographer was taking your photo at the end of your swing.

20 to 30 minutes: Hit mid- and long-iron shots. Similar to short-iron shots, find a target but this time make it a 10-yard wide target or be-

tween two points. Focus on stability and balance with these full swings and again work on the process, not the result.

30 to 40 minutes: Driver and fairway woods. The target increases in size here to 20 to 30 yards wide. Focus on keeping the swing smooth and relaxed. Try to hit five consecutive drives in your “fairway.”

40 to 50 minutes: Practice chipping and sand play. Work on the shots that will help you score better.

I count the number of successful ups and downs that I make for every five balls that I hit. First, that gives me a small number of balls to hit and second, it helps me chart my progress.

50 to 60 minutes: Head to the putting green. Alternate between short putts and long putts and, if possible, finish off by playing a nine-hole putting course around the practice green using one ball and keeping your score.

As you can see, this practice session really moves along and doesn’t leave much time to get bored.

Finally, in keeping with Rory McIlroy’s win at The British Open Championship this year, take a page out of his book and focus on the process while hitting balls. It is a key element in my instruction and if done properly will help lower your score.

Good luck out there, and should you need more help contact me or your local PGA professional.

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com During a 22-year Major League career that came to a close in 2012, Jim Thome hit more than 600 home runs while playing for six different teams, including the Chicago White Sox. After hanging up the spikes, the Peoria native was hired by the White Sox as a special assistant to general manager Rick Hahn in July of 2013.

On July 23, Thome made an appearance at the White Sox Silver Slugger Camp in Lisle and signed autographs before talking with the aspiring Major Leaguers in attendance.

Thome also took time to speak with Suburban Life sports reporter Scott Schmid about teaching the young players, working for the White Sox, the Hall of Fame induction of White Sox legend Frank Thomas and his own chances of making it into the Hall of Fame.

Schmid: What is it like for you to be able to come to these camps and spend time with the kids?

Thome: It’s nice, especially this time of the year. My son is in youth baseball now so that gets me involved. The biggest challenge is getting kids back on a baseball field, so getting a group of kids like this playing and having fun is great. I remember back in Peoria growing up, we’d always play pick-up games.

It’s important to get kids back involved with playing ball in any capacity.

Schmid: How much did it mean to you to come back to the White Sox as a special assistant, and how are you enjoying it so far?

Thome: I love it, working for Jerry [Reinsdorf, White Sox Chairman] and Rick [Hahn, General Manager] and Kenny [Williams, Executive Vice President]. It’s just been enjoyable. I get the best of both worlds, I get to be at home but I also get to be at the ballpark. Plus, I’ve gone on a few assignments to the minor leagues and gotten a

After 22 years as a professional, the former Major League Baseball star is a special assistant for the Chicago White Sox. chance to see some of our young players, which has been great.

Schmid: How special was it to play for the White Sox for four seasons?

Thome: It was a special time in my career. Getting traded from Philadelphia to Chicago, my mom had passed away and that brought my family closer together. Getting a chance to come home and play, that was a dream come true and those three, four years were a fantastic time in my life.

Schmid: Is retirement treating you well?

Thome: I’m enjoying it.

When Jerry called and brought me back, I found that thing in my life where I could still be around the game but also be with my family. It eased the transition to where I’m at. It’s definitely been great to learn the other side, to learn about the other parts of the game I never knew existed.

Schmid: What aspects of the game do you miss?

Thome: Competing, I miss digging in and competing.

That never goes away. You can be retired for 10 years and still have that desire to want to get back in the box.

But now it’s about passing the torch down, and with the

position that I’m in, maybe I can do that.

Schmid: What are your thoughts on Frank Thomas being inducted into the Hall of Fame and have you thought about getting in yourself?

Thome: Frank no question is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He was a force when he played and it is great for the city of Chicago and for the White Sox. He is very well deserving, from the player’s side, just look at his numbers.

And I think I will let the process play its course, I try not to get too far ahead of myself. But it would be great to be a part of it and if it ever happened one day, I would be as excited as Frank is.

LISLE – Jim Thome was one of the best power hitters in all of baseball in recent memory.

Off the field he was regarded as one of the most down-toearth athletes in any sport.

The former Chicago White Sox slugger displayed both his on-field prowess and offfield demeanor when he visited with young players at the Bulls/Sox Academy’s Sliver Slugger Camp July 23 at Community Park in Lisle.

at the Bulls/Sox Academy, and an outfield, bunting and baserunning instructor. “The kids had good questions for him and he hung around the different stations at the camp to work closely with the kids.”

Thome also lent his presence to a day camp at the Academy last winter, and he will be instructing players at a Silver Slugger Camp at Ackerman Park in Glen Ellyn later this summer. The second Silver Slugger Camp runs from Aug. 18 to 21.

“Spots are still open,” Huff said of the upcoming camp.

“There is still room for people to sign up.”
