LOMBARD – A local destination on the Underground Railroad and Lombard’s first school share a special connection: the oldest house in Lombard. Abolitionist and renowned painter Sheldon Peck built the house in 1839 and used it as a schoolhouse for the education of his children and others from surrounding farms. The house also served as a refuge for African Americans traveling the Underground Railroad to escape slavery. Natalie Gacek, executive director for the Lombard Historical Society, said Peck held anti-slavery group meetings at the house. She added he wanted an immediate end to slavery and equal rights for African Americans and whites. “He made such a huge impact in the community, but you’re not going to read about him in history books. He wasn’t one to go looking for the limelight.” Gacek said. “[The homestead] has such a rich and wonderful history. We’re excited to share it with the community.” A special celebration is planned this weekend to

Barking cat advances in national contest By MATTHEW PIECHALAK

Know more

editorial@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – Having a cat that barks like a dog is unique and something Susie Blackwell hopes will net her the grand prize in the inaugural Adams Smart Pets Contest. Blackwell, a Lombard native, entered her cat, Kitty, into the national contest. Recently, Blackwell’s entry was chosen as one of 30 semifinalists vying for one of six spots in the finals Sept. 27 at the Smart Pets Contest blue-carpet gala in San Francisco. “She barks like our dogs,” Blackwell said. “It’s adorable.” The Blackwells adopted Kitty, a 2-year-old domestic longhair, from a rescue shelter about two years ago. After introducing the feline to the family’s two pugs, a funny thing began to happen – Kitty took on the mannerisms of her canine siblings. “The dogs would bark and that’s all she knew,” Black-

responsibility of being the family’s living alarm clock. During weekdays, Blackwell explained, the cat will wake

up each member of the family individually, and make sure they’re ready to begin their day on time. “She’ll jump on us and wake us up,” Blackwell said. “Then she’ll lead me into the kitchen so I can get food for everyone.” Once the family is ready, Kitty will escort each of them outside to look around before they leave for the day, Blackwell said. Blackwell saw the Adams’ contest advertised on television, and decided Kitty would have a good shot. The Blackwells also have two other cats. “I thought, ‘Hey, she’s smart,’” Blackwell said. “I think she’s the smartest out of all five of them.”

Blackwell wrote an essay explaining her unique feline, and then the family took it upon themselves to solicit votes from friends and family, who would vote online every day. Adams is holding the contest as a platform to talk about smarter pet care, a representative from the company said. The idea was to get pet owners to share information about their cats and dogs. The contest was broken into three rounds with 10 semifinalist chosen from each round. Of the hundreds of applicants so far, Blackwell was excited to receive word that Kitty is one of the semifinalist. “She’s so cool,” Blackwell said. “I hope we go to the finals. That would be great.” If Kitty won the $15,000 grand prize, Blackwell said the money would likely go into the bank for her childrens’ college fund.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Marqana aims to ‘fix modern marketing’ By DAVID GOOD dgood@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – This didn’t happen by accident. It was more of a logical evolution, according to James Sivis. The Lombard resident didn’t set out to be president of a marketing company. His new venture, Marqana Digital Marketing in Lombard, was born of the realization he was paying outside marketing firms big money for something he believed his people could do better. Sivis already was president of Computhink, which produces document management software called Contentverse in the same Lombard office building that Marqana just opened shop. Efforts to secure competent external marketing services for Computhink continually produced disappointing results, according to Sivis, who said execution by numerous major firms throughout North American were often “horrendous, almost criminal.” Meanwhile, Computhink was building it’s own internal marketing team and experiencing promising gains. “And pretty soon, we realized, ‘We can do it better,’” said Sivis, who started Marqana as a “Computhink venture.” How new is Marqana? The website doesn’t go live until Monday. And, not surprisingly, Marqana’s first and only client so far is Computhink. Come Monday, though, Marqana will begin targeting Chicago-area startups that are in search of marketing solutions. The company’s full menu of marketing services ranges from website design and social media management to brand development and con-

services, will lead the charge with the benefit of empathy on his team’s side. “We know the pain you’re going through if the marketing firm is giving you content you don’t like or Web pages that aren’t performing for you. We were there,” Harnden said, describing his pitch to potential clients. Computhink has made its home in Lombard for 15 years after starting in Chicago in 1984. Now, Marqana plans to

take advantage of the location. Harnden praised the wealth of potential workforce talent in the western suburbs. And being close to Chicago is key to getting the Marqana name out quickly, Harnden said, who added it will be about a month before the name starts performing on Google. The initial objective is to be selective about which clients Marqana chooses while focusing on more long-term projects. “We’re not looking to take

on 25 Fortune 500 clients,” he said. “Building a name for ourselves is the first thing.” Sivis offered a bigger-picture outlook for his newest venture. “We want to fix modern marketing so that it’s not a money-making scheme. That it’s about high-quality product,” he said. “We want to be sort of the rescue pull cord when people are having bad marketing services delivered to them.”

District 88 welcomes the new school year At District 88, we’re excited to have welcomed a new school year Wednesday. A new school year is the perfect time to reflect on the successes of last year and prepare for the year ahead to ensure we continue building futures for the students of District 88. Last year, we observed measurable positive student performance outcomes such as: • More than 90 percent of COMMUNITY the class of 2014 at Addison VOICE Trail and at Willowbrook was Scott accepted to a two- or fourHelton year college or university. • Addison Trail students will attend schools in 16 states and Canada, and Willowbrook students will attend schools in 23 states and Washington, D.C. • Addison Trail and Willowbrook were recognized by The Washington Post for a record number of students participating in the Advanced Placement program at both schools, which allows students to earn college credit while in high school. This was the seventh consecutive year District 88 was recognized in that ranking. We look forward to continuing that success this year, and we will focus on the following areas during the 2014-15 school year: • Continue to align our curriculum and assessments to the new Common Core State Standards. Those new standards were created to increase rigor in English and math, which will carry over into all subjects; to develop consistent learning expectations for all students; and to implement higher-level, clearer and deeper real-life learning to prepare students for college and career. • Continue to implement interventions and strategies to close the achievement gap among student groups. • Continue to raise expectations for all students. • Continue to implement best practices with technology to ensure our students are prepared with 21st-century technology skills. • Continue to provide support and professional growth opportunities for staff members. • Continue to be transparent, open and honest with our stakeholders through our website, newsletter, social media and face-to-face interactions, meetings and events. • Continue to maintain fiscal responsibility to ensure a stable financial environment. We have great leadership at our schools, a supportive and knowledgeable Board of Education, involved and engaged parents/guardians and community members and talented and committed staff. With that mix, we’ll meet any situation head on and find the path to success. We’ll continue to work together to ensure District 88 remains one of the top school districts and to build futures for our students.

Scott Helton is the superintendent for DuPage High School District 88.

Construction workers paint the temporary stairs leading up to the Lombard Metra station’s north platform Aug. 8 before the removal of the handicap-accessible ramps during renovations.

One unfortunate side effect of the Lombard Metra station renovation is that there will be no handicap accessibility at the station once the south side ramp is removed in the next few weeks. Riders with disabilities who require a ramp to access the elevated boarding platforms are being directed to stations in Glen Ellyn or Villa Park during the estimated 10-month project. Riders can contact David Rubino of Metra at 312-322-4265 or drubino@metrarr. com to coordinate alternative plans during construction. A Lombard actor will be dancing on a rotating stage as she stars in The Marriott Theatre production of “On the Town” this week and next. Johanna Miller is playing the role of Claire in the musical comedy. Break a leg, but be careful on that moving stage.

Looting is for thugs What is happening in Ferguson, Mo., is no excuse for the looting and destroying of the businesses and city. Any excuse to loot, burn down the city is just a thug’s way and very shameful.

Automatic doors required I am a handicapped senior in Downers Grove and frequently use the Woodridge post office. This is another facility that does not have an automatic door. I walk with a cane and trying to juggle a cane, my purse and packages is a challenge when a post office does not have an automatic door. I think all places of business should be required to have automatic doors.

Stormwater questions In regards to Westmont’s stormwater retention problem, will everyone benefit from this endeavor? Having had problems with stormwater getting in the sanitary sewers, which backed up in my house, I am wondering if this would take care of that. Years ago, we had the sanitary people inspect the sewer in the alley and was told it was old, antiquated system made of bricks, but nothing was done about it. Would like to know.

Keep dogs in your yard No, it is not a fact of life that dogs must be walked, and you’re not irresponsible if you keep your dog in your own yard. That’s just more liberal democratic thinking that it’s OK that everybody wants dog pee and dog poop in their yard. If you’re going to own a dog, let it poop and pee in your own yard.

Save the coyotes I’m commenting on “No right to hurt coyotes.” I agree. We are a nation that needs a four-bedroom house when only two people are living in it. And because of that, we have taken away natural habitat for our native animals. They are only trying to survive. Stop leaving easy food available, and they’ll stay out of your area. Thank you.

Keep Metra stations open I hear Metra is considering raising ticket prices again. It’s a travesty how they have their train stations closed and doors locked from 1 o’clock in the afternoon forward. If vandalism is the excuse, that is no excuse. Hire someone, a rent-a-cop or something. Those stations need to stay open to keep their patrons safe from the elements.

DuPage County Clerk candidate Jean Kaczmarek brought a great idea to the DuPage County Board when they were renewing contracts for lobbyists. She said DuPage should mandate that reporting requirements for lobbyists be broadened and that this information should be placed online – the way it’s done in Cook County. Five years ago, the Cook County Board unanimously passed the Lobbyist Sunshine Initiative which mandates all lobbyists to report who they’re lobbying, what they’re lobbying, dates of contact, all compensation and any expenditures. All this information, including their photos, is posted on Lobbyists Online. Through a public portal, taxpayers, the media and elected officials can check out what lobbyists are doing. It’s been working great in Cook County. Why not here?

of Lombard’s history,” Giagnorio said in an email. The village designated Sheldon Peck Homestead as a local landmark and the National Park Service added the homestead to its Network to Freedom list of verified Underground Railroad locations in 2011. The homestead contains reproductions of Peck’s paintings. His originals can be found at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Aurora Historical Society. Peck and his wife, Harriet, had 13 children, 10 of which reached adulthood. He died of pneumonia in 1868 at 72 years old. “I think it’s astounding. We’re looking at a tremendous amount of history that we can

learn from,” said Rita Schneider, president of the Lombard Historical Commission. “The house is still standing in the same place since 1839. Generations of the Peck family have lived there from 1839 to 1996.” Schneider said 20 to 25 reproductions of Peck’s paintings will be on display during the weekend festivities. She added some of Peck’s descendants live in the area and are in full support of the programs and exhibits at the museum. “Some family members have even loaned us original paintings from Peck’s daughter, Susan, and son, Charles,” Schneider said. “His son was a landscape painter. They were a very artistic family.” Gacek said the historical society has been fortunate to talk with local Peck family members and see how proud they are of the family’s patriarch and the impact he had on people’s lives.

Villa Park Boxing Club coach Anton Logun works with Antonio Dominquez of Berwyn on Tuesday.

Villa Park Boxing Club student returns as coach By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com When Anton Logun heard his boxing childhood boxing coach, Paul Pleticha, was planning to retire, he knew he couldn’t let the Villa Park Boxing Club close. “I wouldn’t be where I’m at today if it wasn’t for this club,” Logun said. He’s been running the club, a nonprofit, since his coach retired about a year ago, but he’s been going to the club since he was about 14 years old. At 13, Logun moved to Elmhurst from the Ukraine. He said his accent made him a target for bullies in high school. Once he discovered the boxing club, he regularly rode his bike from his home near Grand Avenue and York Street to Trinity Lutheran Church to spar in a makeshift boxing ring. “This was my sanctuary,” said Logun, 31, who now lives in Woodridge. The account executive at a logistics company, holds two associate degrees, is finishing a third and is pursuing two bachelor’s degrees at Benedictine University. A permanent boxing ring now hides behind an unassuming wall in the lower level of

Thirty more seconds,” yells Logun at the sound of the warning buzzer as two of his students fight with their tired muscles to follow Logun’s advice on body punches and combinations. Antonio Dominguez, 22, steps out of the ring wiping a small amount of blood from his lip with a smile on his face. “It’s a great way to stay in shape and burn that stress,” Dominguez said of why he travels from Berwyn to the club. His opponent, Brandon

Kelso, 28, of Elmhurst, gives Dominguez a friendly pat on the shoulder after the round. Kelso remembers coming to the club as a teen, while he was growing up in Villa Park, but just started coming back about three months ago. The club isn’t just for young men, though. Logun has coached a 50-year-old and teaches kids ages 8 and older. In fact, Logun’s favorite part is teaching kids. While Logun coaches all ages, his students train at their own level whether they want to compete or just keep fit. Women also are welcome. The club originally started in 1995 to provide kids with a positive outlet for their anger, while teaching them the discipline of boxing. A membership fee costs $125 for the year and students can come as often as they want. Logun knows how important it is to keep the cost down for students, so the club continues to be supported by donations. Logun wants his students, regardless of their age, to learn to control themselves through the discipline of boxing. Logun said it’s a lifelong skill. “In life, we’re always fighting something,” Logun said.

Enzo Lazzara spreads sauce on a tray of lasagna Monday at the Dominick’s Pizza he co-owns with his siblings, Frank Lazzara and Maria Lazzara Pickerill.

Dominick’s helps feed generations of pizza lovers By DAVID GOOD dgood@shawmedia.com

■ WHAT: Dominick’s Pizza &

Pasta ■ WHERE: 139 W. St. Charles Road, Villa Park ■ HOURS: Dining hours are from 4 to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 4 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday ■ INFO: 630-832-6929 or dominickspizza.net

In 2004, the siblings moved it back to St. Charles Road but, this time, to a much larger space in order to meet growing demand. The restaurant went from offering a single table on Addison Road to seating 50 with a full bar at the current location, 139 W. St. Charles Road. However, the pizza itself remains virtually unchanged. Once their father settled on a recipe 20 years ago, Maria said, there was no reason to change it. She said the pizzas are made with the same core ingredients their father used. The only real difference about the pizza these days is the available combination of toppings. The barbecue chicken pizza and Italian beef and giardiniera pizza, for instance, weren’t on the menu in 1993. “The food is phenomenal,” Witherspoon said. “There’s not one thing I’ve ever had here that I’ve been dissatisfied with, and I’m pretty sure I’ve had everything at least twice.”

LBS

VILLA PARK – It could be said that Dominick’s Pizza & Pasta in Villa Park has helped raise generations of local residents. “I’ve been eating this pizza for 46 years. I was born and raised on it,” said Ken Witherspoon, 46, of Lombard, who recently stopped by for an early evening dinner. Maria Lazzara was 15 years old when she started working at her dad’s pizza place two decades ago. Now, she owns it with her two brothers, Frank Lazzara, 42, of Addison and Enzo, 33, of Lombard. She said many of the customers that come in today remember when she was a teenager doing homework or answering the phones. “Now some of their kids are working here or we’re planning their graduation parties,” said Maria, 36, who lives in Villa Park. Those loyal customers have followed the restaurant’s tour of Villa Park. The original Dominick’s opened in 1963 on St. Charles Road before moving to Addison Road. Dominick’s had already been in town for 30 years when Carmelo Lazzara purchased it in 1993. The Lazzara family produced pizzas out of that little hole-in-the wall joint for more than 10 years, and that’s where the three kids took over the business.

Consumer Tips

(BPT) - Rain, hail, ice, flooding - these are all the result of seasonal weather changes. Whether you live in an area prone to hurricanes or you experience daily downpours and dropping temperatures, now is the best time to prepare for whatever Mother Nature has in store for the upcoming months. The costs of home water damage can be astronomical, so taking a proactive approach is a smart way to save time and money. Consider these important DIY projects to help protect your home from water damage: Check and seal windows: Hurricane shutters are a must for coastal areas, but every homeowner is wise to check their windows’ integrity before the seasons change. Older windows and cracked seals can cause drafts that do more than just affect the temperature inside your home; they can let moisture into your siding, walls and even indoors. This moisture, in turn, can cause mold growth and damage drywall and the studs. Check for drafts by holding a flame from a lighter next to the window seal and note if the flame flickers. If it does, you have a draft and should repair it with caulking and new window seals as necessary. Enhance your sump pump: Floods are the most common natural disaster in the United States. With the average flood insurance claim at $35,000, it’s worth your time to ensure your sump pump is working. Try lifting the float on the side of

Clean gutters: Your gutter system is an important part of your home’s exterior and helps to ensure water is directed away from your deck and foundation to eliminate flooding and water damage. But during autumn months, leaves, yard waste and debris can accumulate and clog gutters, causing overflows that can seep into basements and damage foundations. Make time to safely go on the roof to check your gutter system and clean out materials clogging the free flow of water. This can also reduce the likelihood of ice dams in the wintertime.

Consumer Tips

* Consider creating a theme. Kids of all ages love themes. To decide which one might be right for your project, consider things your child has shown an enduring interest in. For example, she may be into princesses right now and hate the theme next year. On the other hand, if she’s always loved the color pink and has a passion for animals, those elements could be worked into a theme that she’ll appreciate for years to come. * Choose flooring that fulfills multiple needs. Carpeting absorbs sound (for when kids play loud video games or music) and is comfortable for youngsters who like to sit or lie on the floor while they do homework, read, watch TV or socialize. What’s more, it’s available

will illuminate study areas. Will the room be a movie room or a “hangout” for older teens? Recessed and dimmable lighting may be appropriate. Don’t forget to include natural light in your illumination plans. Avoid heavy drapery. Instead, opt for bright colors and lightweight materials for window treatments so windows admit ample light. If you have a larger budget, consider adding a skylight to provide light while preserving privacy. * Organization is key in a child’s room, and ample storage facilitates good organization. Depending on the size of the room and how it will be used, shelving, portable cubes, book cases and other furnishings can provide plenty of storage space. For desks, look for desktop organizers that will keep important papers and supplies tidy

PEZZA REALTY CORP 126 N. York Rd #5, Elmhurst, Illinois 60126

and close at hand. By helping kids stay organized now, you’ll be laying the foundation for a lifetime of good organizational skills. * Remember the fun factor. Whatever the purpose of a child’s room, fun should be a universal ingredient. You can infuse fun in a room in many ways, from creating a video game center for lounge rooms to choosing colorful, texturally appealing carpeting for a bedroom. A touch of whimsy, such as a swing hung from the ceiling or a wall mural of your child’s favorite cartoon character, can produce smiles every time kids see them. With some creativity and the right decorating materials, it’s possible to create a space that will make children comfortable, happy and ready to tackle the new school year.

(BPT) - Would a great study space ease your child’s transition from summer to school? Perhaps an awesome lounge area could convince your teens - and all their friends - that your house is the best hangout spot ever. Whatever your objectives, a few design and decorating tricks can help you create a kid-friendly space in your home. The basics of good design that make grown-up spaces appealing also work for children’s spaces. When designing a kid-friendly room, however, it’s important to keep in mind not only the purpose of the room (study, fun, sleep, etc.) but the age of the occupant, his or her interests as well as incorporating fun into the design. Here are some tips to get you started:

in virtually every hue and pattern imaginable, ensuring you’ll find something that appeals to both your design sense and your child’s tastes. Stain-resistant formulas and durable fibers ensure modern carpeting can stand up to the rigors of use in a child’s room. And, according to the Carpet & Rug Institute, properly cleaned carpet can maintain indoor air quality, making it a viable choice for families impacted by asthma and allergies. To learn more about carpet, visit www. carpet-rug.org. * A child’s space needs layers of lighting, just as adult spaces do. As you’re choosing lighting, keep in mind how your child will use the room. If he will be doing homework, task lighting and desk lights

* Separate grooming areas – If you share a bathroom with someone who rises at the same time as you in the morning, it can quickly get congested in the room. Choosing a vanity with two sinks and related storage space is one solution to create better space and prevent grooming tools from getting mixed up or lost. * The right fit – When incorporating a new vanity into your bath, it’s often difficult to find the right fit in size, style and functionality. You want a vanity that holds all the extra supplies needed in the bathroom extra shampoo, clean towels, toilet paper and tissues – so they’re available for residents and guests alike. Plus you want something that matches the decor you already have in the room. Kohler’s Tailored Vanity Collection provides several size options, configurations and wood finishes as well as top materials in a variety of shapes and colors to perfectly blend into your bathroom style.

Before creating a decorative ceiling.

After the addition of decorative ceiling elements. (BPT) - With autumn just a few short weeks away, many people will soon spend less time on the patio and more time within four walls. Actually, five walls if you include the ceiling. Many homeowners don’t consider ceilings part of their interior design, and it shows. Most are expanses of bland white paint. But savvy do-it-yourselfers are converting these blank canvases into interesting and functional design elements that can accent a room’s decor, create a cozier space or disguise problems commonly found on this fifth wall. The best news: Updating a ceiling is one of the easiest and budget-friendly ways to freshen a space. All the recent attention on ceilings - from both professional designers and DIY-ers - has prompted the creation of new products and project ideas. Dana Vento, DIY expert and popular home renovation blogger, recommends tackling a ceiling project that can be quickly and easily finished over the weekend. Here are her tips to boost your home’s value while achieving DIY gratification this fall: * Warm up with wood. There’s a reason wood flooring is so popular - it tends to warm up a room and add character. The same goes for ceilings. Real or engineered wood panels can extend your sense of style in any room. That’s because they come in a wide range of tones, textures and patterns to suit any decorating style, from rustic to mid-century modern to sleek contemporary.

* Go beyond plain vanilla. For those who want to add a splash of color, the ceiling holds special allure. Painting the ceiling the same color as the walls (or one shade lighter) can make a small room feel larger. A bright color, say yellow or pink, could enliven a child’s room, while a sky blue ceiling creates a more soothing ambiance. Black ceilings have their own design advantages, dramatically defining a dining area in an open floor plan, for instance, or enhancing the enveloping atmosphere of a home theater. * Love the look of metals? Add some character and shimmer to your ceiling. Consider today’s pressed metal ceiling tiles. They’re far easier to install than their antique ancestors, and the light-bouncing properties of copper, brass and lacquered steel can help raise the ceiling visually in any room. * Hide the popcorn. Even confident DIY-ers don’t relish the idea of scrapping popcorn ceilings to remove the material and then deal with the messy cleanup. But now there’s an easier and more attractive fix, Vento says. “We took the plunge and installed an Armstrong Woodhaven plank ceiling, which can be applied directly over the popcorn,” she says. Like wood, Woodhaven planks come in different finishes, and can also be painted. Vento recommends homeowners start thinking about their ceiling by exploring websites for ideas. A good place for inspiration is www.armstrong. com/residential-ceilings/ceiling-inspiration.html which has hundreds of examples including some interesting before and after photos.

Restaurant reviews

Standard Market Grill a pleasant, uncommon find WESTMONT – We’ve always been told it’s a bad idea to go grocery shopping when hungry, but at Standard Market, that’s precisely the right time. Tucked away inside the upscale grocery store sits the Standard Market Grill, offering its customers a casual yet delicious dining experience. The spacious room’s sophisticated decor provides a dramatic setting for the madefresh-to-order cuisine. The dishes are sourced from the gourmet market’s fresh produce, seafood, in-house-aged meats, craft beer and wine. Cocktails also are served. And overseeing the menu is the same chef’s team behind the market’s sister enterprise, the elegant Bakersfield restaurant across the street. At the Standard Market Grill walk-up counter, guests are greeted by two cashiers. After ordering your dish of choice, you have the option to sit wherever you please. Open daily, the restaurant offers seating at large booths and high-top tables, along with an outdoor patio – my favorite. The patio, where my companion and I chose to dine, is staged with large wooden tables, matching chairs and umbrellas fitted with heating lamps. It set the perfect summer night mood for a tasty meal, and before we knew it, a waiter sporting a red polo was placing two large plates on our table. Although Standard Market Grill offers a variety of soups, dinner entrees (N.Y. strip steak and Duroc pork chop), fresh-ground burgers, pizzas and salads (seared tuna Cobb), it was the sandwich selection that caught both my and my

Served on a soft baguette, the steak was complemented by blue cheese, buttermilk garlic dressing, mushrooms, balsamic caramelized onions and arugula. My fellow diner went with the Cuban Chicken sandwich and delighted at the fact that it looked exactly as he had pictured. His sandwich paired grilled chicken with Swiss cheese, chipotle aioli, smoked tavern ham, and sweet and spicy pickles, all piled on a freshly baked, soft baguette. The moment our plates arrived, we dug in and didn’t stop until the final crumb was devoured. With full bellies, we both thought we’d had enough, until we saw the grill’s Root Beer Float, a classic American treat. Delivering a perfect serving size of vanilla ice cream and Chicago-style root

Even though the eatery operates with a fast-casual concept, the wait staff was extremely attentive, continually checking the dining room to be sure guests were satisfied.

One of my favorite parts of Standard Market Grill was the fact that when we ventured into the grocery store after eating ravenously, our shopping list didn’t grow by eight additional items. We were already full and content.

Glenbard East golf team relies on seniors The boys golf season has already teed off, and teams are hoping to make the trek to Bloomington and Normal for the Class 1A, 2A and 3A state tournaments Oct. 17 and 18. Here’s the outlook for Glenbard East, Montini and other area teams:

Glenbard East Rams Coach: Chris Wienke Conference: Upstate Eight Valley Top players Ben Cartwright Andrew Honig Nick Knowles Ben Symonds

Year Senior Junior Senior Senior

Willowbrook Warriors Coaches: Gary Walker Conference: West Suburban Gold

Glenbard East’s Jack Moran hits a shot Wednesday during the Addison Trail Invite at Oak Meadows. A senior trio is expected to lead the Rams in their first season in the Upstate Eight Conference.

Top players Mike Madrid Dominic McDonnell Henry Wallace

Year Senior Senior Senior

Outlook: Seniors Mike Madrid, Dominic McDonnell and Henry Wallace are the only varsity returners on the team with 22 golfers in the program. Coach Gary Walker talked up Wallace as a key player for this season. “This is Henry’s fourth year in the program, and he has improved each season,” Walker said. “His effort is always great, and I’m hoping

Montini Broncos Coach: Dave Lyons Conference: N/A Top players Eddie Fitzgerald Adam Keefe Matt Spangler

Year Senior Senior Senior

Outlook: The Montini boys golf team isn’t as fortunate as the football program to have found a conference right after the dismantling of the Suburban Christian Conference. The Broncos will be an independent team this season but still have scheduled matches teams from the Chicago Catholic League, their future home. “It is hard to set expectations because we do not have a conference this year,” coach Dave Lyons said. “We will be joining the Catholic League next year. I would say our goal is to get the team back downstate again this year.” Alex Keefe, the top golfer from last year, is back to lead that charge. Montini was 12th in state last year and Keefe took 15th individually. Fellow seniors Eddie Fitzgerald and Matt Spangler also return from that team. “If some of my underclassmen fill the roles that my departed seniors had, we will be in the thick of a downstate trip this October,” Lyons said.

LBS

Outlook: The season opener was Monday at Naperville Central’s Bob Sterr Invite, where the Rams scored a 349. Three seniors, Ben Cartwright, Nick Knowles and Ben Symonds, are expected to be key in the lineup. Junior Andrew Honig also will be a regular in the lineup. Last year, the Rams didn’t qualify any individuals to the sectional and will be hoping to improve on that this season. East also makes the move to the Upstate Eight Conference and opens conference play August 26 at Metea Valley.

his improvement continues through regionals.” The Warriors have a number of invites throughout the season to go with the West Suburban Gold schedule. Downers Grove South and Hinsdale South appear to be the favorites in the conference, along with Addison Trail returning much of a regional-winning team from a year ago. Willowbrook will hope to crack the top half of the conference with a youth movement. “We are very young, with only three varsity golfers returning,” Walker said. “Our focus this season is to control what we can control. If we do that, the scores will take care of themselves.”

Wilkie’s hockey odyssey continues in Canada By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – Zach Wilkie has been traveling all over the world recently, but was able to stop at home in Villa Park to stay with his family, something that has become increasingly rare for the 17-year-old hockey prospect. Wilkie just competed in the 2014 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in the Czech Republic and Slovakia with the U-18 U.S. National Team. The Americans took the bronze medal. Wilkie, a defenseman, registered three assists in five games at the tournament, including one on the game-winning goal in the 5-4 overtime victory against Sweden for the bronze on Aug. 16. “We didn’t get the result that we wanted,” Wilkie said. “We were looking to get a gold medal. It came down to a semifinal against Canada. We came into the bronze medal game and ended up beating Sweden. I’m happy that we did it, but I wish we would have won gold.” The U.S. went 2-1 in pool play with wins against Russia and Finland and a loss against the Czech Republic. Canada beat the Americans 11-5 in a semifinal. After the tournament, Wilkie flew home to be with his parents but is already back on the road for the start of his season with the Niagara Ice Dogs of the Ontario Hockey League. The team is based in St. Catharines, Ontario. The OHL is a junior hockey league in Canada made for top prospects. Wilkie is entering his second year in the league and will be eligible for the NHL Draft in 2015. “It’s tough not living with your parents anymore and having to grow up so quick but it’s also a nice experience to move to another country,” Wilkie said. “The draft is a big thing that I’m looking forward to. I’m just trying to work my hardest this year to be drafted as high as I can. That would be the goal right now, just to get drafted and after that try to make an NHL team.” If Wilkie gets drafted he

Zach Wilkie finishes a check along the boards in a Niagara Ice Dogs game last season. The Villa Park native is preparing for his second season in the prestigious Ontario Hockey League.

2013-14 season stats 35 Games played 1 Goal 5 Assists 6 Points can remain with the Ice Dogs through age 20, although his goal is to move up quicker than that. He could also land in the American Hockey League with NHL-affiliated minor league clubs. For now, Wilkie is still getting used to life in Canada. He has noticed the differences with the hockey-obsessed country when international tournaments take place. “You’re under a bit of a microscope there so you have to be aware of what you’re doing

on and off the ice,” Wilkie said. “If it’s the Olympics or World Juniors all the restaurants are busy during the games. It’s interesting being an American in Canada because everybody is giving you hazes, but it’s all in good fun.” Wilkie is one of six Americans on the Ice Dogs’ 26-man roster. As part of his foreign journey, Wilkie is staying with a family under the Canadian billet system. He had nothing but good things to say about his host family. “I think I probably have some of the best billets in the league,” Wilkie said. “They treat me like I’m their own son. It’s nice to have billets that are like family to you.” Training camp is just getting started for the Ice Dogs and the season starts Sept. 26.

Outlook: Four-year varsity player Amanda Di Nella has qualified for sectionals the past three seasons for the Warriors. She will be joined by Madison Aiello, Allison Kelley and Therese Flicek as seniors on the team. “We are a young and inexperienced team, but have players that want to learn and compete, can’t ask more than that,” coach Jim White said.

Outlook: Plenty of new faces will make up the Addison Trail girls golf team this year. Not only is Gia Dela Cruz, one of the best golfers to ever go through the program, gone, but a new coach also is in place. Phil Stewart takes over and has a young squad in his first year.

LISLE – After making a name for himself while playing for his dad at Creighton, Doug McDermott was traded to the Chicago Bulls on draft night after being selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 11th overall pick. McDermott recently completed his first summer league with the Bulls and spent some time with the USA Select Team along with Bulls teammate Jimmy Butler. McDermott visited the Bulls/ Sox Academy on Aug. 13 for a Chicago Bulls All-Day Player Camp, where he signed autographs for young fans and spoke with members of the media, including Suburban Life sports reporter Dan Santaromita. What was your experience like with the Select Team and getting a chance to be around [Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau]? McDermott: It was really cool just to get a chance to be around them. Obviously I can learn a lot from them, and I’m going to have a chance to do that coming up here pretty soon. How was Derrick Rose doing? McDermott: He was real focused. He wanted to get out there and show what he can do, and he did. He was really good to meet beforehand. How good was it to see him practicing and playing? McDermott: It’s been great. We knew it was coming the whole time because we saw it leading up to summer league, so it wasn’t a big surprise to us when he was out there playing well for USA. It’s great to see and great for us as teammates to see that. Is everything going how you expected for you this summer? McDermott: I always expect to do well. I put in a lot of work. As long as I keep doing that I expect good things to happen. I’m sure there will be some bumps here and there, but that’s just the way basketball is. I’m just looking forward to

Chicago Bulls rookie jumps into NBA routine

Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com

Chicago Bulls rookie Doug McDermott gives some shooting tips to a camper Aug. 13 at the Bulls/Sox Academy Chicago Bulls All-Day Player Camp in Lisle. The rookie was a special guest at the camp. contributing to a really good team. Was is hard to hear your name in trade rumors? McDermott: I didn’t follow it too much. I looked at it as I’m an NBA player either way so you can’t complain. I’m just glad I’m here. I feel that they really like me here. I feel like I’m wanted and I want to help out this team. Has playing with the Select Team the past two years helped you? McDermott: It really has. They’ve given me so much more confidence, just being able to play against the best players in the world going into a college season and my first NBA season. There’s not any better way to drive yourself than going against the best players in the world.

Doug McDermott key stats ! 26.7 Points per game ! 7.0 Rebounds per game ! 52.6 Field goal percentage ! 96 3-pointers made

McDermott: It’s great. It’s just awesome being around the kids and the fans. It shows what kind of support the city has to offer. It’s great helping out and giving kids advice because I was in their shoes one day and they’re all hoping to get into mine.

*For 2013-14 season at Creighton

What have you been working on most in your game this summer? McDermott: Ball handling, working on my range and, with coach Thibodeau, defense. He preaches defense, so that’s something I got to get better at and that’s something I’m looking forward to working with him. How much do you enjoy events like [the camp] that help you learn a little bit more about your community?

Who did you follow growing up? McDermott: I liked the Bulls a lot. I hate to admit it, but I was a huge Reggie Miller Pacers fan, but I liked the Bulls. I’m a Midwest kid and you dream of playing for Chicago, especially watching MJ (Michael Jordan). What’s been the biggest adjustment of becoming a pro basketball player? McDermott: Just the lifestyle, the routines. Being able to manage your time well. You’re not scheduled to do

stuff. You have to show up on your own and get it done. Have you had a chance to step away off the basketball court? McDermott: A little bit. Not a lot, though. I plan on doing that here in two weeks or so and take a little time off before getting ready for training camp and try to hit the golf course a little bit. Has Thibodeau told you how he’s going to use you? McDermott: I haven’t talked to him a whole lot about that. I think we’re still learning each other. I think we’re both comfortable with each other, which is good. I think me and Kyle Korver, the way they used him a little bit. I’m starting to watch film on him. I’m trying to pick up on things they ran for him and other shooters in the past.

Here’s the plan: Sunday setup: Designate one day as “Plan and Prep” for the entire week. Make a list of your week’s meals and the ingredients required, then go grocery shopping. When you get home, it’s time to prep. Some advice: ! Make sure you have storage containers and an insulated lunch box. They make transportation and storage of food much easier. ! Grill or bake a week’s worth of chicken breasts. ! Brown ground turkey or beef that can be tossed in with eggs and pasta sauces. ! Make a batch of quinoa or brown rice to use for breakfast porridges, salads or side dishes. ! Hard boil a dozen eggs for on-the-go protein snacks. ! Slice and dice a week’s worth of fruits and veggies for stirfries, salads and easy snacking. ! Use your slow cooker. If you’re OK with eating the same food a few times a week, start the slow cooker overnight on Sunday and portion into individual containers the next morning. Make a versatile meat like pulled chicken or pork to use in a variety of styles: sandwiches, salads, pitas and pastas.

New concussions impact study A new study from the American Academy of Pediatrics indicates that concussions from impacts to the top of the head may be more severe than those that result from other impact locations. The research, using data from the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study, found that 8 percent of football players with top-ofhead concussions experienced a loss of consciousness, compared with 3.5 percent of those who had impacts on other areas.

CARE Low-proﬁle government ofﬁce searching – and paying – for solutions

By Jay Hancock Kaiser Health News

he Affordable Care Act was supposed to mend what President Barack Obama called a broken health care system, but its best-known programs — online insurance and expanded Medicaid for the poor — affect a relatively small portion of Americans. A federal office you’ve probably never heard of is supposed to fix health care for everybody else. The law created the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to launch experiments in every state, changing the way doctors and hospitals are paid, building networks among caregivers and training them to intervene before chronic illness gets worse. One example: George Washington University’s $1.9 million award to improve care and cut costs for at-home dialysis patients. Another: CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield’s $24 million grant to reduce unnecessary hospital visits for chronically ill Medicare patients. The center’s 10-year, $10 billion budget is the largest ever devoted to transforming care. In several states the office is working to overhaul medicine for nearly all residents — not just those with government Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Every few months it awards test grants of $3 million or $10 million each — or sometimes tens of millions — to community groups, clinics, hospitals, insurance companies, nursing homes and states. Its programs touch millions of patients. Hundreds of organizations have gotten money. More than $2 billion has been doled out or committed since 2011.

Skeptics on both sides One of the biggest experiments is the center itself. Skeptics, including Republicans but also those who support the health law, wonder if it’s up to the task. “While I certainly appreciate innovation in the delivery of health care, the CMMI is just another big government bureaucracy created by Obamacare that costs billions and duplicates other efforts,” Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said through a spokesman. Hatch mused at a hearing last year whether the center’s hundreds of tests represent “barely controlled chaos.” Even policy pros who hope the innovation lab succeeds wonder if its investment will pay off and complain that it is slow to disclose information on spending and results. “This is absolutely necessary” to try to change how care is bought and delivered, says Christopher Koller, president of the Milbank Memorial Fund, a nonprofit that works to improve medical deci-

sion making. “Is this the right way to do it? A whole bunch of experiments? Is the innovation center adequately resourced in an administrative way to do this? The jury is still out on this.”

Who’s getting money With a staff of 265 and growing, CMMI must not only administer ACOs and other reimbursement tests that reward quality care at lower cost. It also manages hundreds of grants and dozens of contractors hired to monitor and evaluate the programs. Projects tend to focus on people with expensive diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart failure and schizophrenia. In one round of grants, awardees were urged to deploy projects “as rapidly as possible” and show results within six months. The Johns Hopkins University got $19.9 million to improve care for East Baltimore’s chronically sick and mentally ill. An AsianAmerican community group got $2.7 million to help low-income Californians navigate the medical system. The University of Tennessee got $3 million to help ensure repeat hospital patients in Memphis stay on their medications after discharge. Intermountain Health Care got $9.7 million to test software that forecasts the best ways for caregivers to interact with patients. Many efforts don’t just involve the elderly Medicare and poor Medicaid patients in HHS’ primary insurance programs. Six states including Maine, Arkansas and Oregon got up to $45 million each to involve commercial insurers and their members as well as government programs in trials to improve health and control costs.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Fast food still a mainstay Despite strongly agreeing it is not good for them, Americans continue to make fast food a staple of their diet, with 80 percent eating the product at least once a month, according to results of a new Gallup poll. Almost half (47 percent) report eating fast food at least weekly. Fast food has long been a major part, if not a particularly healthy one, of the U.S. diet. Americans seem well aware of the health issues inherent in fast food, with 76 percent responding they believe it to be “not too good” or “not good at all” for them. Surprisingly, those who eat fast food the most — those who indicated eating the food at least once a week — have strong doubts about the healthfulness of the food. Of those respondents, 54 percent reported a belief that fast food is “not too good” for them, the highest of all respondent categories.

NUMBER TO KNOW The increase 21.8% from 1970 (2,109) to 2010 (2,568) in the average number of calories Americans consumed daily, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

Pop of flavor Root Beer Ribs get tender and sweet By the editors of Relish Magazine

ooks discovered the benefits of cooking and baking with sodas years ago. Chocolate cake made with Coca-Cola is almost a staple in the South; 7Up appears in pound cake; Sprite forms the base for punches of all kinds; and Orange Crush gives zing to sherbet. So it should come as no surprise that root beer makes an excellent marinade and sauce for ribs. As a marinade, the sugar ﬂavors the meat, while the carbonation tenderizes it. Barbecue aficionados have a lot to disagree about. Should the meat be cooked wet or dry, with a sauce or without?

Root Beer Baby Back Oven Ribs Brine and ribs: ! 1/4 cup coarse salt ! 1/4 cup dry rub barbecue seasoning for pork (use your favorite) ! 24 ounces root beer, divided ! 2 racks baby-back pork ribs Sauce: ! 1 cup ketchup ! 1 cup root beer ! 1/2 cup cranberry or apple juice ! 2 T Worcestershire sauce ! 2 T apple cider vinegar ! 1/4 cup light brown sugar ! 2 T dry rub barbecue seasoning for pork To prepare brine, combine salt, dry rub and half the root beer in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until salt and seasoning dissolve. Remove from heat. Add remaining root beer. Let cool completely in the refrigerator.

Should ribs be pork or beef, spare ribs or baby backs? Does parboiling help or hurt the cooking process? Should you soak wood chips or just throw them dry on the fire? One thing is for sure: These ribs, double-doused in root beer, are finger-licking good. The sugar and carbonization in root beer (or any soda) play a major role in tenderizing and ﬂavoring the ribs, but any soda will work: Dr. Pepper, Cheerwine, Ginger Beer — you name it. This recipe is designed with tender baby-back ribs in mind. If you prefer larger, meatier spare ribs, simply reduce the oven temperature to 300F, and increase the cooking time to 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Pat ribs dry. Use a sharp chef’s knife to score “X” patterns into the membrane that runs along the back (concave) side of the ribs. Combine ribs and brine in a ziptop plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator 12 to 24 hours. Preheat oven to 375F. Drain ribs and discard brine. Wrap each rack in 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place in oven and bake until tender, but not falling apart, about 1½ to 2 hours. (Make ahead tip: Ribs may be prepared in advance up to this point, wrapped in plastic and stored for several days in the refrigerator.) To prepare sauce, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes to thicken, stirring occasionally. Let cool, cover and store in the refrigerator up to 1 month. When you’re ready to ﬁnish cooking the ribs, heat broiler. Slice foil packets open along the top of each rack and peel back. (You may remove the foil completely, but leaving it on makes cleanup easier.) Brush the exposed ribs liberally with sauce and broil until caramelized and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Makes 2 full racks and 3 cups sauce. Serves 6. Per serving: 729 calories, 19g fat, 213mg chol., 48g prot., 27g carbs., 0g ﬁber, 1646mg sodium
