CLARENDON HILLS – Five teams took to the water Saturday to race their handmade boats against the clock.

A battle of strategy and wits, maritime law was thrown overboard, and the only stipulations that steered these sails were that everything – from boat to oars – had to be made of just cardboard and duct tape.

The inaugural launching of the Clarendon Hills Park District Cardboard Boat Regatta sailed smoothly Saturday, as the treacherous waters of Lyons Park Pool claimed no victims during any of the timed races.

Park District Recreation Marketing Supervisor Darcy Gans said the idea of a fullsize cardboard boat race came from the new aquatics supervisor Laura Reinke.

“I think it was and will become a very popular event,” Gans said.

When the time trials ended Saturday, three awards were given out.

Siblings Wesley and Summer Ryan captained the fastest boat, while classmates Sallie Keiner and Lindsey Vaikutis took home the award for the largest vessel.

Siblings Charlie and Abby Nordby took the crown for the most creative ship, a boat that resembled an ice cream cone.

“They did all the sprinkles and stuff but it’s melted now,” their father Bill Nordby said of the sopping-wet ice cream cone that laid on the side of the pool.

Siblings Charlie and Abby Nordby sail their ice cream cone-shaped boat Saturday in the Cardboard Boat Regatta at Lions Park Pool. Even though they lost their ice cream scoop prior to the start of the race, the two still won the most creative award for their craft.

While the children were the ones who raced the vessels, the parents also had a chance to jump in and go for a ride and, in most cases, sinking their ships.

Joe Vaikutis and Jeff Keiner of Clarendon Hills took the boat their daughters had named Sal-Lin, after their own names Sallie and Lindsay, out

He said the ship had taken somewhere between 25 and 30 rolls of duct tape to build, and in places the cardboard was two pieces thick.

What is a regatta?

A regatta is a series of boat races done primarily by amateur competitors. Typically, regattas are racing events for water craft that are either rowed or sailed. Although regattas can be organized as a championship-style race, they usually are held for camaraderie, competition and promotion of the sport of boat racing.

School board: D-86 may be close to new teachers contract

By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – The Hinsdale High School District 86 Board offered a salary schedule to the teachers in its most recent offer, a requirement the teachers union has had throughout contract negotiations.

District 86 Board President Richard Skoda said during a special meeting of the Board of Education on Aug. 12 that he hopes the newest offer to the teachers can settle the negotiations.

“It was comprehensive and significant, and they’re taking it very seriously,” Skoda said.

“I think that’s a very, very good sign.”

A salary schedule increases how much an employee makes annually. Additionally, the board’s latest offer is above CPI, unlike past proposals.

News to your phone Visit shawurl.com/texts to sign up for news and weather text alerts from Suburban Life.

Previous District 86 contracts granted teachers annual raises for up to 19 years.

Teachers gained additional income every year if they have earned advanced degrees.

Recent offers by the board aimed to eliminate those step and lane increases, seeking teachers contracts based on past performance – the same way professional athletes get bigger contracts when they show a history of better performance.

Skoda said the teachers wouldn’t make a deal without annual salary increases.

“They basically told us they needed to have automatic increases with step and lane,” he said.

However, the current offer does not include 6 percent raises to teachers each of the four years prior to their retirement, which also was part of prior contracts.

Those raises, informally known as “pension spiking,” are used to increase teacher pensions prior to their retirement.

In Illinois, a retiring teacher’s pension is based on an average of their four highest paid years. So if a teacher’s salary spikes in their last four years, then their pension would be significantly higher.

“It’s not that teachers aren’t great teachers,” board member Ed Corcoran said.

“We have great teachers, great staff. It’s just in fairness to the

Let the sun shine in!

taxpayers and the longevity; things have changed and we can’t afford to have this.”

But, Skoda said the teachers will still have their pensions compounded by 3 percent annually following retirement.

Advisory referenda During the meeting, the board discussed putting two questions on the November ballot. By the end of the meeting, one ballot question was tabled to be put on the ballot later and another was dropped from discussion.

The question that could be brought up later would ask voters if teachers make 6 percent more every year of the last four years they work prior to retirement.

The second question asked if teachers should follow a salary schedule or if they should be paid based on performance.

This was dropped because the board already has offered salary schedules to teachers.

Police report The week of Aug. 3, a member of the school board filed a police report after the image of a hatchet stuck in the dashboard of a car was posted with a story on the Hinsdale Teachers Association Facebook page.

Prior to the police report, Skoda said the use of the image was alarming and taken as a threat by some board members.

The news website that wrote the story claimed the hatchet photo belonged to another story that was unrelated and apologized for the problem.

The Hinsdale police do not intend to investigate the matter further.

HINSDALE – Hinsdale High School District 86 recently approved five-year contracts with vending machine companies Classic Group and PepsiCo. District 86 CFO Bill Eagan said the move was made to help both Hinsdale Central and Hinsdale South high school students save money, as well as increase district revenue.

“We’re going from getting no signing bonuses to getting some signing bonuses,” Eagan said, referring to the new contracts, which were approved during a July Board of Education meeting.

The district will get a $2,000 bonus annually from PepsiCo along with 30 percent of each drink dispensed from the machines, according to Eagan.

For every snack sold, Classic Group will pay the district 20 percent. The district will get a bonus of $3,000 when gross sales exceed $60,000 during the contract term, Eagan said.

As part of the contract, the cost of a 20 oz. water will decrease from $1.50 to $1.25.

Eagan said the decrease in the price of water was one of the reasons why the district chose the contract with PepsiCo.

He explained the district still receives only 30 percent of the sale, after sales tax, so charging less for water seemed like the right decision.

“We got the highest commission rate we can get while maintaining the price point,” he said.

Part of the problem that resulted in a contact change was that many of the machines on campuses were not supposed to be there, according to Eagan.

“Other machines were put into use that weren’t permitted in the district,” he said.

Approximately 27 vending machines were being used in the schools to help support various student clubs and activities and were being operated by those groups.

As part of the contracts, Dole fruit juice (10 oz.), Gatorade (12 oz.), Powerade (12 oz.) and noncarbonated beverages (20 oz.) will cost $1.25.

Sobe Life Water (20 oz.) and Vitaminwater (20 oz.) will cost $1.50.

Canned sodas (12 oz.) will cost $1.

Candies, pastries, chips and crackers will cost $1.

All other snacks will cost between $1 and $2.50.

The new vending machines will be installed by the beginning of the new school year.

The Illinois legislators fielded questions that audience members had submitted prior to the event, which a moderator read aloud.

Here are the four main talking points from the Aug. 6 roundtable discussion.

Regulatory Reform “The tax code, in it’s entirety, is a disaster,” Roskam said.

He then explained that he thinks about an imaginary couple whenever considering tax reform. The imaginary couple is filing their taxes the weekend before tax day and while filling out forms, there are two things going through their mind.

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Elmhurst, and U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ilinois, discuss the need for tax reform Aug. 6 at the Oak Brook Hills Resort Hotel.

“On the one hand, they’re thinking to themselves ‘Well, there’s probably $1,500 that we’re paying too much, and if we only knew what it was, we would be able to get the benefit of that $1,500,’” Roskam said.

On the other hand, he said people are turning their taxes in to the IRS under penalty of perjury – on the hook for back taxes, interest and penalties.

“That’s messed up,” he said.

Accordingly, Roskam explained there is a lot of work to do.

due to the uneven stimulation to each ear. Auditory deprivation is even a larger problem. If only one ear hears and understands better, it can become the dominant ear. The ear without the hearing aid is deprived of stimulation.

The ear with the hearing aid hears better, while the unaided ear no longer tries to hear. There are still times when audiologists fit only one ear with a hearing aid, such as when a medical problem prohibits it, or when the ear is completely devoid of hearing.

but only wore one hearing aid. The study concluded that the ability to hear tones decreased the same amount in each ear over time, but that the ability to understand words decreased significantly in only the ear without the hearing aid. This study suggests that both ears be fit with hearing aids as soon as possible after a hearing loss is diagnosed to prevent auditory deprivation. Since that time, numerous investigations and studies worldwide have supported the initial findings.

Auditory Deprivation

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D., Dr. of Audiology thought is that the brain gradually loses some its ability to process sound information because of a lack of sound stimulation. Another theory is that the brain adapts to the reduced sound levels.

The first study to document auditory deprivation was in 1984 by Silman and Silverman of City University of New York. The study followed hearing impaired adults who had an equal amount of hearing loss in both ears,

In the past, audiologists often fit people with only one hearing aid.

Research over the years has shown that fitting only one hearing aid is a problem. An obvious difficulty is the inability to tell the direction of sound

5 INTERESTING FINDS

Hinsdale Farmers Market has much to offer residents

By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Along with the many fruits and vegetables shoppers expect to find at a farmers market, there always are some unusual items waiting for those who are willing to explore.

Here are the top five most interesting items found at Monday’s downtown Hinsdale Farmers Market:

1. Nichols Farm and Orchard’s cosmic purple carrots For the past 350 years, carrots have been primarily orange. Before that, however, carrots were purple.

Before Dutch farmers in the 17th century started growing the orange carrots of today, it was commonplace that orange and yellow carrots were considered mutated.

Those purple carrots are making a comeback, according to Nichols Farm and Orchard employee Steve Freeman, who noted that the purple carrots stand out among their vegetable and fruit stock.

“I think the orange ones are losing their 350-year foothold,” he said.

While some purple carrots are orange on the inside, the strain of purple carrot sold at Nichols are purple, through and through.

2. Flavored honey sticks at the CRIA tent

While mom and dad may have trouble getting their children out to local farmers markets, Bruce Hughes said his tent has the perfect bribe to entice the young ones.

At 25 cents a piece, his flavored honey sticks come in a variety of flavors that kids enjoy as a snack. But Hughes said they’re also a good “sugar pick-me-up” when people are out of energy or as a flavor to mix in yogurt.

3. Anthem Organics’ einkorn wheat cinnamon vanilla pancake mix While pancakes are a

breakfast staple, few storebought mixes include the einkorn wheat, which is one of the oldest cultivated forms of wheat.

Einkorn is recognized as a good wheat substitute as it is less toxic to people with gluten digestion problems than it’s processed cousins.

Anthem Organics owner Paul Markiewicz also pointed out that it’s not just tough to find at the local grocery store.

“There are only a few places left on earth that still grow [it],” he said.

4. Gouda-nettle cheese from The Cheese People Anyone who has rubbed up against a stinging nettle plant knows the irritation it can cause.

But cheese monger Dave Grothause said in this case the nettle adds to the flavor and texture, creating a distinct slice of gouda. He added that the cheese has an interesting healing property, as well.

“It’s good for prostate cancer, if you’re worried about that,” he said.

5. Flavored pub burgers at Farmer Nicks While most of the menu initially appears standard, the half-pound flavored pub burgers get a lot of attention, employee Tina Seekings said.

People will call her before showing up to the farmers market, reserve an order then form an impromptu drive-thru alongside the tent.

“They pull right up, and I run out,”Seekings said.

By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com

ty involvement is attributed to the debate over the updated Clarendon Hills downtown master plan.

In the forefront of discussion is what the maximum height of buildings should be.

Recently, there was a petition drive to get an advisory referendum on the Nov. 4 bal-

lot that would ask if building height should be limited in the downtown area to two stories or 30 feet, whichever is smaller. The referendum is not binding.

Ungerleider said the zoning board can choose to go with the recommended height of buildings in the plan, which he said is four or five stories, they

can choose to recommend a taller or shorter height or they can opt to not vote and let the village board decide.

The Aug. 21 meeting is the third time community members will be able to comment on the direction of the master plan, this time focusing on building height, land use and economic development.

Information in Police Reports is obtained from the Hinsdale police department. Individuals listed in Police Reports who have been charged with a crime have not been proven guilty in court.

Seniors feel relief from August’s heat waves at York Township Summer heat waves are common in the month of August, so please remember York Township Hall at 1502 S. Meyers Road is an official cooling center for senior citizens.

Seniors who need relief from the heat can stay in our air-conditioned auditorium, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. If there is an event or class going on in COMMUNITY the auditorium, please be disVOICE creet. Either join in or find John W. a comfy chair in the hallway Valle until the event is over.

I want to remind everyone all senior citizens should take extra precautions during heat waves and are advised to stay in air-conditioned spaces at least several hours during the daytime. On extra-hot days, anyone without air conditioning should take refuge with family or friends whose homes are cooled. Other alternatives are public buildings such as libraries, park districts, shopping malls and, of course, York Township Hall.

Township Hall is much more than a cooling center for seniors.

In addition to our senior nutrition programs, York Township Senior Center provides a variety of activities and services for senior citizens in order to help improve their quality of life.

Our members enjoy weekly bridge and pinochle games, woodcarving, yoga, art classes, beginner and advanced line dancing, tai chi class and Yuan Ji Chinese dance.

Services for our seniors include a barber, beautician, income tax preparation, and twice monthly free blood pressure checks as well as free Internet access in our library. We offer many one-day trips to local sights and attractions and we also host in house parties. Almost every Tuesday, there is a free movie along with free popcorn. We also sponsor many informational seminars, and offer referrals and services, including legal aid, rules of the road, and mature driving classes.

We help our seniors with applications for assistance programs such as the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Benefit Access Program, Senior Health Insurance Programs and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

We publish the Senior Sun Newsletter 10 times a year and it lets our senior members know all the activities we have going on.

For information or for questions on our programs and services, feel free to contact the Senior Center at 630-620-2424.

John W. Valle is supervisor of York Township.

Berwyn is a perfect example of the crime rate quadrupling since we allowed apartments into our community. And it’s the section 8 people who are causing this problem in our community.

No right to hurt coyotes I’d like to know why people think they have the right to hurt coyotes. They just roam in the park. Don’t chase them with baseball bats. If you get bitten, it’s your own fault.

Lombard post office needs automatic door I’m a senior in Lombard. Can someone please explain to me why the Lombard Post Office does not have an automatic door for handicapped people?

Villa Park, Elmhurst, Wheaton and Glen Ellyn all have automatic doors. I tried to get in the other day, I dropped my packages – it’s very disconcerting. I was told the building is too old, and they don’t have to have it. I thought all federal offices had to have an automatic door for the handicapped. Can someone please explain why Lombard doesn’t?

HSL

I totally agree with the writer who was responding to the La Grange writer complaining about dogs peeing in their yard and how gross it is. People walk dogs. It’s a fact of life.

Responsible dog owners do not just dump their dogs in their backyards, they walk them. It’s a form of exercise for both walker and dog and [it] socializes the dog to the world around them. Dogs who are socialized are less likely to be aggressive. Responsible dog owners also pick up after their dog, but peeing is a different ball of wax. You can’t prevent that and most people in our neighborhood try to steer the dogs to a tree or something in the parkway.

But even if they pee on your flowers, it isn’t going to ruin them. Get a life, or a dome, as the reader suggested!

I live in the village of Stickney. Taxpayers’ dollars are being wasted by people in office who are putting their political agendas before the taxpayers. We voted out a tax cheat from office and had a trustee who had to resign because he was collecting a disability from the police department and collecting as a trustee. Now, we have a bigheaded softball president who is a trustee in our village and votes against the mayor of Stickney out of spite. We have a trustee who can’t make a decision on her own to save her life. We also have a trustee who owns a business in town and has voted against our budget. These three trustees are wasting our tax dollars. They should put the citizens of Stickney ahead of their own personal gain. What a shame.

This year’s sponsors include Bolingbrook Adventist Hospital, Wilton Brands, Illinois American Water, Girgis Orthodontics, Bridgeview Bank, Home Run Inn Pizza and Fifth Third Bank.

Adams said about 90 volunteers have signed up, but they are looking to have about 120 volunteers.

“I think it’s for a giving cause, so, again, their volunteer contribution helps make the event successful, which in turn drives participation,” Adams said, adding that higher participation will result in more donations to the charitable organizations.

WOODRIDGE – Since the Woodridge Rotary Club’s annual Mini Triathlon first stepped off 14 years ago, it has grown from about 60 participants to an estimated 1,000 participants.

As of late last week, 677 participants have signed up for this year’s competition, and organizers expect there to be about 1,000 triathletes by the time registration closes.

The race helps support the community, showcases facilities Woodridge has to offer and encourages volunteerism, according to Mike Adams, executive director of the Woodridge Park District, which helps run the event along with the Rotary Club.

“It really turns out to be a community pride type of event,” Adams said.

The Mini Triathlon begins at 7 a.m. Sunday at Cypress Cove Aquatic Park, 8301 Janes Ave. The event includes a 250yard swim, a 10k bike ride and a two-mile run. Fees are $60 for individual participants and $35 per person for relay teams.

The race is open to all ages.

Children under 12 can take part in a 100-yard swim, a 5k bike ride and a one-mile run in the Kids Event, which starts at 10:30 a.m. Fees for the Kids Event are $50 for individual participants and $25 per person for relay teams.

The Rotary Club will donate $5 for each registered competitor to one of six organizations, chosen by the athletes. Organizations include SEASPAR, Woodridge Community Pantry, Hope’s Front Door, Beat Necessities Pediatric Cancer, DuPage Habitat for Humanity and Family Shelter Services.

In addition to the $5 donations, net proceeds will be donated to other charitable causes, Adams said.

Sponsors also help make the event possible, according to Katy Rush, president of the Woodridge Rotary Club.

“The commitment by our local sponsors is critical to supporting the important work that Rotary does in the community,” Rush said in a news release. “We have supported the volunteer efforts of many organizations in our community through the Mini

Forest preserve director may be out after only months on the job

WHEATON – The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County may be on the hunt for a new executive director only seven months after hiring the last one.

The district’s Board of Commissioners met for several hours Aug. 5 in a closed executive session to discuss the future employment of director Arnie Biondo. After emerging, the commissioners announced he had been placed on paid leave.

Both sides are “evaluating employment options,” according to a statement from the district.

Biondo was hired in January to replace Brent Manning, who stepped down in June 2012 due to health and family concerns.

When he was hired, the former Carol Stream Park District director said he was looking forward to the opportunity and hoped to expand strategic partnerships across the county and turn the dis-

trict into a “resource for the residents.”

Biondo signed a three-year contract worth $188,000 per year, according to the document. The contract also includes a without cause termination clause.

The district said in the statement that further details will be made public in the next two weeks.

District spokeswoman Susan Olafson said the decision now rests with Biondo and that the district won’t release any further information until the matter is resolved, as it is a personnel issue.

Biondo’s possible departure comes at a time of transition in district leadership.

President D. “Dewey” Pierotti Jr. will retire after the November election and be replaced by Republican commissioner Joseph Cantore, who is running unopposed.

Operations across the 60 forest preserves and 25,000 acres of preserve land will continue throughout the process, according to the statement.

DuPage County will host a public hearing Aug. 26 to gather input on $18.9 million it received earlier this year for disaster recovery after the April 2013 floods, according to a county news release.

The money comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in addition to $7 million the department previously gave the county in response to the same flood event.

The hearing on what to do with the funds will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 26 at the DuPage County Administration

Building, 505 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton.

The action plan for the money can be accessed at www.dupageco.org/cdbg-dr and will be available for public comment through Sept.

10. It includes the allocation of $4.5 million to purchase homes in flood-prone areas, $3.5 million to assist in the construction of the Klein Creek watershed project at Armstrong Park in Carol Stream and $4.4 million for the West Branch River restoration project.

The county anticipates submitting its final plan to the department by Oct. 7.

Restaurant reviews

DMK Burger Bar delivers pure temptation LOMBARD – I’m the kind of person who receives a whole wheel of cheese for Christmas, and it’s gone before the new year. The kind of person you can’t leave unsupervised in a gourmet cheese section for longer than five minutes without having to go back for the full-sized cart.

So while the gourmet burgers at DMK Burger Bar are the main attraction, I couldn’t help but note the excellence of the cheese and everything else sitting on top of the beef or bison patties.

I met a friend at the Lombard location of the Chicago favorite after work last week, settled onto a bar stool, and immediately wanted pretty much every burger offered.

DMK’s menu is deceptively simple at first glance: 14 numbered burgers on the left – no names, just ingredients – and a list of sides and appetizers on the right. Among the 14 are five that don’t use red meat, and are based on fish, turkey or vegetables.

The simple concept belies the fact that once you start reading the fine print, the experience turns into abundant choices. Any of the patties, all made from grass-fed beef, can be substituted with bison for $2 extra. Ravenous customers can add a second patty for $3, or an egg to any burger for $1.

It was my first visit to DMK, so I didn’t go crazy with the add-ons. The bartender was quick to bring us our beverages – the third word in DMK Burger Bar is taken seriously. The entire back of the menu is full of craft beer drafts and bottles, and a wall chalkboard lists craft cocktails.

After considering one of the day’s two specials, a Cajun burger with fried okra, I made an executive decision to put all my stock in the second burger on the menu: beef patty topped with chili-rubbed onion strings, Amish blue cheese and spicy chipotle ketchup.

Runners and coaches from Hinsdale Central’s boys cross country team hoist the Class 3A state championship trophy last fall. A proposal being worked on by officials in the West Suburban Conference, of which Hinsdale Central is a member, would separate public and nonboundary schools in the postseason.

A few other states, including Texas, already have such a policy in place (or at least in certain classes).

Hinsdale Central athletic director Dan Jones said the proposal comes on the heels of talk about instituting a success factor, which was originally set to debut this year before being delayed. The success factor would move pri-

vate schools up in class based on previous postseason success, but complete separation would drastically alter the athletic landscape.

Programs on the move Local schools part of new conference alignments

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Conference realignment has been a buzz topic in college athletics over the past few years, and the Chicago-area high school scene is going through similar changes.

The shift is taking place for both public and private schools. Some are moving from long-standing conferences to new territory, both competitively and geographically.

Changing to a new conference entails more than just making new schedules and resetting GPS bus routes. Craig Etheridge, boys basketball head coach at Westmont, led the Sentinels from the old Southwest Suburban Conference to the Suburban Prairie Conference to their current place in the Interstate Eight Conference.

“It certainly is an adjustment,” Etheridge said. “For me, one of the hardest things was leaving behind all the coaches from the first conference and the working relationships and friendships that go along with competing against each other.

The next season, working with a new group of guys, it was different and there definitely was an adjustment period.”

With several schools making changes, the conference landscape is going to look much different in the near future.

DVC upheaval One of the leagues that has seen a major alteration is the DuPage Valley Conference, which has been around since 1975. Lake Park came in from the Upstate Eight Conference while West Chicago moved from the DVC to the UEC beginning with the 2013-14 school year. This fall Glenbard East and West Aurora also move from the DVC to the UEC, leaving the league with just six teams.

Glenbard East football coach John Walters downplayed any major adjustment in entering a new league.

“There’s really no secrets going into Friday night,” Walters said.

“We have an idea of what they’re going to do and we have an idea of what we’re going to do.”

Because of a lack of available

Did you know?

Here are some facts about schools switching conferences. n When Glenbard South left the DuPage Valley Conference for the 1996-97 school year, the Raiders had an enrollment of 1,241 students. The rest of the DVC schools all had an enrollment of more than 2,100 students. In the new Metro Suburban West, the Raiders’ enrollment of 1,274 is third biggest out of six schools and above the league average enrollment of 1,004. n All four Glenbard District 87 high schools are now in different conferences with Glenbard East’s move from the DVC to the Upstate Eight. Glenbard North is still in the DVC, Glenbard West is an original member of the West Suburban Conference and Glenbard South is in the Metro Suburban Conference. n This fall will mark the eighth different combination of conference opponents for Riverside Brookfield

opponents, DVC football teams will play nonconference football games in Week 9 against a DVC team they already played earlier in the season.

It’s a bit clunky, but it’s only temporary since Neuqua Valley, Metea Valley and Waubonsie Valley are set to join the DVC for the 2015-16 school year to add more power to an already strong conference.

Metro Suburban mixes it up Another league undergoing an overhaul is the Metro Suburban Conference. Seven schools – IC Catholic, Wheaton Academy, Aurora Central Catholic, St. Edward, Chicago Christian, Walther Christian and Guerin – joined the MSC from the now disbanded Suburban Christian Conference.

The MSC, which will have two divisions, becomes the only football conference with both public

in football since 1997. RB is in the newly formed Metro Suburban West with Aurora Central Catholic, Fenton, IC Catholic, Glenbard South and Wheaton Academy.

This is the first time during that period that RB won’t be in the same conference as Elmwood Park. n If Glenbard East had stayed in the DVC, which now consists of Glenbard North, Lake Park, Naperville Central, Naperville North, Wheaton North and Wheaton Warrenville South, the Rams would have had to fight history on the football field. The Rams haven’t won a football game against any of those schools since 2003. n This is the second straight year West Chicago will have a new look to its schedule in most sports. The Wildcats joined the Upstate Eight Valley last school year and shift over to the Upstate Eight River starting this fall, where they will face seven new conference foes.

and private schools in the Chicago area. Timothy Christian and Illiana Christian were already members of the league, but neither fields a football team. Mixed conferences exist around the state with Boylan Catholic (Rockford), Althoff Catholic (Belleville) and Sacred-Heart Griffin (Springfield) competing against public schools.

“I don’t think it changes much,” IC Catholic athletic director Tom Schergen said of switching. “It just changes our schedule and teams we’re playing. From a geography standpoint it changes our schedule. We’re in the West division where everyone is right around us.”

In the MSC West, IC will play against former SCC foes ACC and Wheaton Academy along with public schools Riverside Brookfield, Glenbard South and Fenton. This is the first time IC will be in a confer-

ence with public schools, but Schergen noted that IC previously played most of the teams in the MSC in non-conference games so a working relationship already existed.

“Maybe it’s possibly the first time we play RB in things, but we’ve played Ridgewood and Elmwood Park before,” Schergen said.

“Even the private schools, Illiana and Timothy, we’ve played in things, so it’s not all new to us.”

The Knights also get a more extended pairing with Timothy Christian. The two Elmhurst schools already scheduled each other in non-conference games in numerous sports along with being paired together for just about every IHSA postseason regional.

RB boys basketball coach Tom McCloskey, who tries to schedule the Bulldogs against top competition regularly, welcomed the new competition.

“I think the new conference will be tougher,” McCloskey said.

“Some tougher schools with great basketball traditions. It’s just a new situation.”

He doesn’t believe playing with more private schools will change the dynamic of the league.

“I didn’t think that was a much of a factor at all,” McCloskey said.

“Some of the schools, Wheaton Academy and the others, have strong basketball traditions and it’s a priority at their school.”

New-look Catholic league The remaining SCC schools, including Montini and St. Francis, were left looking for a new home.

Marian Central Catholic joined the East Suburban Catholic Conference and the rest joined the Chicago Catholic League for just football and boys soccer this year.

In 2015, all of the boys sports will be members of the CCL while the girls sports will be joining the GCAC. “To me personally, it is absolute excitement,” St. Francis athletic director Dan Hardwick said about the conference changes over the next two years. “Both of these leagues have been bending over backwards for us, that is the best way to put it. They’ve been so accommodating and they’ve been so excited to get us in their leagues.

“It’s going to be a challenge but we are relishing the challenge.

That is all part of the excitement.”

we’re doing. My approach has almost been the exact same. It’s basketball. It’s getting kids to love playing and getting a program together. It’s not really much different.

“But I do see both sides of it, obviously private schools have an advantage as far as getting kids outside of certain boundaries.”

If the split were to occur, it would drastically change the playoff landscape for local small schools like Lisle and Westmont. Those two schools typically mix with private schools like IC Catholic, Timothy Christian, Aurora Christian, Walther Christian and St. Edward in the postseason.

“I’m torn because I get along with all those guys and they have good teams and good programs,” Westmont boys basketball coach Craig Etheridge said of his private school brethren. “Part of me is loyal to the concept of playing the same teams, but I’ve also lost kids to Timothy Christian, Nazareth and Montini. I’m curious to see how it plays out on both sides.”

Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team was knocked out of the playoffs by Benet in 2012.

The Raiders and Redwings are typically placed in the same sectional in the playoffs, and this past season Benet won the sectional and went on to play for a state title in Class 4A. “I think when schools that Shaw Media file photo take whoever walks through Benet’s Sean O’Mara holds up the Class 4A state runner-up trophy the Redwings earned last season. the door play against schools A proposal being worked on by officials in the West Suburban Conference would separate public and that are able to recruit a little nonboundary schools in the postseason. bit, it’s like comparing apples and oranges,” Bolingbrook joy playing the public schools been on both sides of the debate, at Riverside Brookfield. coach Rob Brost said. “That having been a boys basketball “I kind of like to think I was being said, we’ll play anybody around us.” coach at Montini (head coach) the same coach at Montini and anywhere.

something to be said about playing everybody and challenging yourself and playing programs that are strong. It forces you to raise your level of play a little bit.”

His biggest concern is what might happen to the Metro Suburban Conference, of which the Raiders are a member, if such a proposal passes. The league is expanding to 14 schools this year and includes both public and private institutions.

“From the Metro Suburban Conference perspective, we have a private and public mix,” Carlson said. “Talking with John Treiber (former Glenbard South AD) and talking to some other ADs, what makes the MSC work is we’ve been able to work through issues and do it collaboratively.

“If something like this happens, what would it mean for the Metro Suburban? Does it do damage to the conference? It’s a tough sell. We are in a unique position and so much work has been put in by these ADs, certainly not by me, I’m new, but especially John Treiber. I’d hate to see that crumble.”

A few other conferences in the state – such as the Central State Eight (with Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin), the Northern Illinois Conference (with Rockford Boylan), the Western Big Six (with Rock Island Alleman) and the South Seven Conference (with Belleville Althoff) – also mix public and nonboundary schools but not to the extent of the MSC. Benet and Nazareth are two area schools that compete in East Suburban Catholic Conference, which is comprised entirely of private schools. Benet AD Gary Goforth believes the latest proposal stems from the success factor issue. Already competing in the larger classes in the playoffs (7A for football, 4A for softball, basketball and volleyball), the Redwings wouldn’t be greatly affected by the success factor.

Goforth didn’t want to talk specifics until reading the proposal, but he believes a complete separation isn’t necessarily the best solution.

“If it would force the private and nonboundary schools out of the IHSA, I think that would be a detriment to high school athletics,” he said. “We en-

Cheesecake Factory paces Xtreme Eating ‘awards’ The Cheesecake Factory dominated the Center for Science in the Public Interest’s 2014 Xtreme Eating awards, taking three of the nine spots in the watchdog group’s annual ranking of restaurant dishes deemed “xtreme” in calories, fat and sodium content.

Leading entries for the Cheesecake Factory is its “Bruleed French Toast,” coming in at 2,780 calories, 93 grams of saturated fat, 2,230 milligrams of sodium and 24 teaspoons of sugar. Other Cheesecake Factory “winners” include the Farfalle with Chicken and Roasted Garlic (2,410 calories, 63 grams of saturated fat and 1,370 milligrams of sodium) and, for dessert, a slice of Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake (1,500 calories, 43 grams of saturated fat, 21 teaspoons of sugar).

While the Cheesecake Factory had the most entries, the honor for the single most “xtreme” meal belongs to Red Robin Gourmet Burger’s “Monster” meal, with double patties, bottomless steak fries and a Monster Salted Caramel Milkshake. The creation, with only one helping of fries, comes in at 3,540 calories, 69 grams of saturated fat, 6,280 milligrams of sodium and an estimated 38 teaspoons sugar.

FOR CARE Patients seeking cheaper care are soliciting bids from doctors online

FREE IMAGES

By Sandra G. Boodman Kaiser Health News

rancisco Velazco couldn’t wait any longer. For several years, the 35-year-old Seattle handyman had searched for an orthopedic surgeon who would reconstruct the torn ligament in his knee for a price he could afford.

Out of work because of the pain and unable to scrape together $15,000 – the cheapest option he could find in Seattle – Velazco turned to an unconventional and controversial option: an online medical auction site called Medibid, which largely operates outside the confines of traditional health insurance. The four-yearold online service links patients seeking non-emergency care with doctors and facilities that offer it, much the way Priceline unites travelers and hotels. Vetting doctors is left to prospective patients: Medibid does not verify credentials but requires doctors to submit their medical license number for patients to check.

Velazco paid $25 to post his request for knee surgery. A few days later, he had bids for the outpatient procedure from surgeons in New York, California and Virginia, including details about their expertise. After accepting the lowest bid -- $7,500, a fee that covered anesthesia and related costs -- he learned that his surgeon would be William T. Grant, a Charlottesville, Virginia, orthopedist.

A few weeks later, after several online discussions with Grant, Velazco arrived in Charlottesville, where he had rented a $50-anight room and would spend two weeks recuperating. On Dec. 4, 2013, he underwent knee sur-

F

gery, performed in an outpatient surgery center that Grant coowns.

“I’m back working four days per week and climbing ladders,” Velazco said recently. “I’m doing great.”

To Medibid founder Ralph Weber, a benefits consultant who said he left his native Canada for the United States in 2005 to escape “socialized health care,” using the Internet to arrange non-emergency medical care is long overdue. Americans, he says, are increasingly going online to book travel and even find a mate. Medibid enables them to strip away the opacity that surrounds health-care pricing, Weber maintains, where charges vary wildly even in the same market and can be nearly impossible for consumers to obtain.

“We introduce transparency and also competition,” said Weber, whose company is based in Murfreesboro, Tenn. “We are a disruptive innovation, a freemarket alternative to Obamacare.”

How it works Weber said that about 120,000 consumers -- Medibid calls them “seekers” -- have used the service.

Many are uninsured, holders of high-deductible plans or enrollees in faith-based plans, which have grown as a conservative alternative to the Affordable Care Act. Seekers are charged $25 for each request or about $60 for an unlimited number of requests per year.

Roughly 6,000 doctors or surgery centers and a handful of hospitals, most seeking patients from abroad, have registered as “bidders”; physicians pay a fee ranging from $50 to bid on one

request to $250 to bid on many.

Once a bid is accepted, Medibid bows out, and patients work out arrangements with the doctor.

Many bids are a package deal, covering the facility fee, the surgeon’s charge and anesthesia services. Patients pay the bidder in full, upfront and in cash or by credit card.

Is it safe?

But critics, who agree hospitals’ prices are too often inflated, arbitrary and opaque, express concerns about Medibid. They say the service provides little in the way of quality indicators for prospective patients, something hospitals convey by granting a doctor privileges and insurers do by accepting doctors on a plan’s roster. Surgery or procedures such as colonoscopies are typically performed in physician-owned outpatient centers, which are more lightly regulated than hospitals and have fewer safeguards for patients. Unlike hospitals, which are required to track infections, outpatient surgery centers are usually exempt from such reporting requirements.

And complications are rarely covered under the terms of Medibid.

Medibid “is a phenomenon that is in part being spawned by the absurd, nonsensical and inexplicably unfathomable pricing of American health care,” said Arthur L. Caplan, head of the division of bioethics at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York. “Cheap sounds good, but in these auctions you’re not getting any information: Was the guy at the bottom of his class in medical school?”

“In the current world you buy

“Cheap sounds good, but in these auctions you’re not getting any information: Was the guy at the bottom of his class in medical school?”

the name -- the institutional reputation of a doctor or hospital. Insurance companies or hospitals drop people who have high complication rates or costs due to errors, “ he added. “Medical care is not like buying a watch on the street or a hotel room online. The stakes are much, much higher.”

Marty Makary, an associate professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital and the author of “Unaccountable,” a 2012 book about hospital quality, agrees. “I have concerns about the lack of good metrics of quality,” he said. “How do you know what you’re getting?”

Weber says that consumers are competent to make such decisions without relying on a provider directory or the imprimatur of a hospital.

“Is there anything that says the Internet is any worse than a Blue Cross directory?” he asked.

“Once they choose a physician, we will send them the license number, and there are a bunch of third-party sites” that patients can use to check out a doctor. If a patient is dissatisfied with a doctor after accepting a bid but before surgery, Medibid will repost the query free of charge.
