DuPage County residents look at newly updated flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency at a July 29 meeting.

nlurz@shawmedia.com Many DuPage County residents are either hoping or fearing that the Federal Emergency Management Agency will confirm what they already know – that they are in a floodplain.

The agency, alongside the Illinois State Water Survey and DuPage County Stormwater Management, recently released a long-awaited update to the county’s flood map, detailing properties that would be affected by 100-year and 500-year flooding events.

“We’re getting everybody on the same page. We’re updating the data when it’s possible,” said Shelly Fuller with the Illinois State Water Survey at a July 29 open house. “Flood risk changes over time and when you learn more or it changes, you update your map when you can because you want people to be aware of the risk.”

The updated maps were on display during the open house at the DuPage County Administration Building, kicking off the mandatory 30-day public comment period through Aug. 28.

Christine Klepp, a project engineer at the county, said the whole process likely won’t be finalized for another year or more after more than seven

years of work, updating as new FEMA surveys came in.

The changes largely take place in the central and eastern parts of the county, Klepp said. More properties were added to the floodplain, as opposed to those taken off a floodplain.

Klepp couldn’t give an exact number that were added or taken off.

Such an update could be a mixed bag for those who live and work in the floodplains. Though it could be helpful information for municipalities planning and applying for funding for projects, newly added homeowners would have to disclose they were in a flood-

plain when selling their homes and those with federally insured mortgages would have to purchase flood insurance.

Klepp said given the more frequent and severe types of storms the county has been seeing, she believed the accuracy ultimately would be beneficial.

“Overall, some people might not be happy being put into the floodplain, but I think in our department we’re not intending to put anybody in the floodplain, we’re intending to put out a good map that shows risk,” she said.

Mark Barbera, a Roselle resident, said he received a letter in the mail saying his property may have been placed on a floodplain in the latest update. It wasn’t, but he said he appreciated the outreach.

“It was very informative, especially if you sat down with someone there,” he said. “This is something you want to know and not have it sprung on you.”

Until then, Fuller said, it was important to reach out to people in the community to make sure everyone knew the latest information. Those wishing to challenge the mapping can participate in a technical appeal period after public comment, she said.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WEST CHICAGO – West Chicago police and residents came together Aug. 4 to celebrate National Night Out at Reed-Keppler Park.

The event was sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and co-sponsored locally by the city

and the West Chicago Police Department. Police distributed information about crime prevention and held a meet-and-greet during the evening.

The event is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in anti-crime efforts, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and send a message to criminals.

According to the release, from February 2013 through July 2015, Lopez-Gomez sexually abused his friend’s two young daughters at their West Chicago home on multiple occasions.

The abuse came to light when the girls told a trusted adult, who in turn contacted the West Chicago Police Department, the release stated.

Lopez-Gomez was arrested July 29 by West Chicago police.

Lopez-Gomez’s arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 24 before Judge Robert Kleeman, according to the release.

Police charge 1 in Warrenville armed robbery SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA An Aurora man suspected of a series of armed robberies in the DuPage County area, including one in Warrenville, was charged July 29 in North Aurora after police allegedly observed him robbing a 7-Eleven, according to a Darien Police Department news release.

Nathaniel J. Noble, 18, of the 2700 block of Preston Court, was charged with aggravated robbery, robbery, armed violence, armed robbery and aggravated assault in connection to the incident in North Aurora.

The case against Noble started a week before at 3:33 a.m. July 22, when the Darien

Police Department responded to a call about an armed robbery at a Speedway gas station, 8301 Lemont Road. Police officers conducted a search of the area but were unable to locate the offender. The clerk was not injured in the incident, according to the release.

Authorities were aware of two similar armed robberies in Naperville and one in Warrenville that occurred within days of this incident.

Police agencies were able to determine a suspect by sharing information, the release stated. A task force of investigators from Naperville, Darien, Warrenville and the Illinois State Police began overnight surveillance of Noble.

According to the release, about 2 a.m. July 29, investigators followed Noble to a 7-Eleven in North Aurora where he proceeded to rob the store at gunpoint. He was apprehended outside of the convenience store by a Naperville Police K-9 and the surveillance officers.

The gun that Noble was carrying was a BB gun, and the clerk was not injured in the incident, the release stated.

Noble was charged with four counts of aggravated armed robbery in connection to the incidents in Darien, Naperville and Warrenville. He was arrested and transported to the Kane County Jail, according to the release.

COD proposes $7.5M in budget cuts for 2016

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com The College of DuPage may be cutting more than $7.5 million – including tax levies and student tuition – off what college staff has called a “bloated” 2016 budget.

Board Secretary and Budget Committee Chairman Frank Napolitano said at the July 30 Board of Trustees meeting that the board typically doesn’t get involved during the creation process of the budget.

But when looking at this year’s budget, he said he found many items were unnecessarily inflated and worked with staff to make adjustments to the proposal. That excess and accumulation of cash would be eliminated under new board leadership, board Chairwoman Kathy Hamilton said.

“The budget didn’t come to us as our budget, it came to us as Dr. [Robert] Breuder’s budget,” she said.

College financial consultant Kurt Beckeman of Alix Partners said the college’s revenues had been budgeted very conservatively in recent years and the college could comfortably find savings with “no real cuts to the re-

“We can have a budget that successfully ... allows the board to understand what its true limitations are and what its true abilities are to decrease taxes for the people here in District 502.”

Kathy Hamilton College of DuPage Board chairwoman sources of the school.”

The school hired the firm in June to step in for Treasurer Thomas Glaser and Controller Lynn Sapyta, who were placed on leave pending an ongoing investigation regarding violation of board investment policy.

Beckeman said the school collected about $36.5 million more than it projected in its 2014 fiscal year operating funds and is on track to receive $23.6 million more than expected in the 2015 fiscal year.

In the proposed 2016 budget, the college would operate on a lean $761,000 surplus with a projected flat enrollment, though earlier in the meeting interim President Joseph Collins said enrollment was on the rise.

Most notable in the cuts is a $2.9 million decrease in the property tax

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2015 8:00AM

levy, which represents a 5 percent reduction.

Hamilton said the college has increased its levy about 59 percent across the past five years and had a massive surplus through the time period. She said the increase was “unwarranted” given the Great Recession and saw an opportunity to roll some of it back.

The board also is considering a $5 tuition decrease starting in the spring semester, cutting back to $135 per credit hour and cutting about $1.4 million in revenue.

Hamilton said the board decided it no longer wanted the College of DuPage to be the most expensive community college in the state.

The proposal outlines about $6.6 million in cuts to salaries and benefits – largely because of previous budgets

not taking vacancies into account and over-budgeting for medical benefit premium increases, Beckeman said. It also cut $3.55 million in “other” expenditures, including reclassifying capital funds, decreasing contractual IT services and other items.

The budget wasn’t all cuts, however. It included $2.9 million in legal fees to deal with a number of internal and external investigations surrounding the college, including a state audit and federal subpoenas.

It also included $4 million for a contingency fund should the board need to cover any additional spending in the next year, which Board Vice Chairwoman Deanne Mazzochi said could include a drop in state payments with the current budget standoff in Springfield.

Napolitano said he hoped the board and its budget committee could be more involved in the process to ensure it reflected what was best for the public and school.

“We can have a budget that successfully ... allows the board to understand what its true limitations are and what its true abilities are to decrease taxes for the people here in District 502,” Hamilton said.

By NATHAN LURZ The College of DuPage Board of Trustees is looking into what a recent legal opinion from the attorney general’s office might mean for the contract of embattled President Robert Breuder.

A nonbinding opinion written by Assistant Attorney General Matt Hartman dated July 24 stated the board did not adequately inform the public before extending Breuder’s contract during its meeting July 12, 2011.

The meeting’s agenda listed only “personnel actions,” according to the opinion and college archives. It did not address Breuder’s contract or any other details about actions being taken.

“Because the board did not state that it was extending the contract of the President or discuss any specifics of the contract extension before taking final action, the board did not adequately inform the public of the business being conducted,” Hartman stated in the opinion.

Board President Kathy Hamilton said at the board’s July 30 meeting the letter created “considerable legal ques-

tions,” which she directed college attorneys to look into.

During the meeting, college attorney Tim Elliott said in light of ongoing investigations into certain parts of Breuder’s contract and out of respect for Breuder’s privacy, the board should discuss the matter in closed session. The board ultimately met for nearly two hours discussing the contract, among other topics.

After the meeting, Hamilton said she could not comment on the options in front of the board – including using it to terminate Breuder before his scheduled retirement date of March 31, 2016, and before he receives a nearly $763,000 buyout – but pointed to several years of allegations by watchdogs that say the contract was invalid.

She said in a statement earlier in the week that the opinion came as a surprise but “validates our worst concerns about COD in the Breuder era.”

Paul Darrah, spokesman for the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office, confirmed July 27 the office had authority to prosecute such violations and that the office was considering its legal options.

Q & A with the Hearing Doctor

500 block of Fremont Street, West Chicago, was charged at 4:02 p.m. July 21 with domestic battery and violating a protective order at her residence.

• A man reportedly was hit in the head at 2:58 p.m. July 22 in the 500 block of Main Street.

Breaking Down the Audiogram

Q: I had my hearing tested and was briefly

shown a graph and then immediately told I needed hearing aids. They didn’t explain anything to me. Can you explain the graph to me?

Identity theft

• Identity theft was reported at 7:40 p.m. July 21 in the 100 block of Plumtree Lane.

• Identity theft was reported at 12:01 a.m. July 21 in the 800 block of Burr Oaks Drive.

A: The “graph” or

audiogram is where we document your hearing thresholds obtained Dr. Terri Lightbody during your hearing test.

(630) 580-5777 A threshold is the softest level that you hear the test sounds/beeps. The layout of the audiogram is made up of an x-axis and y-axis. The x-axis represents the ‘pitch’ of the pure tone from low to high frequency, left to right. The y-axis represents the decibel (volume) level, soft to loud from top to bottom.

Responses indicated in ‘red’ represent hearing levels for the right ear, and those in ‘blue’, the left ear. The normal range of hearing consists of thresholds above the 20dB level which is at the top of the graph.

On the example audiogram, there are two test lines, one red (right ear) and one blue (left ear), that slope down to the right. These lines indicate a mild to severe high-frequency hearing loss. A person with this type of hearing

Burglary

loss has difficulty understanding speech. They hear what was said but not understand what was said. And that’s in a quiet setting. Once this person is in an environment with background noise like a restaurant, understanding speech becomes nearly impossible. People appear to “mumble”. The audiogram can also tell us what type (cause) of hearing loss exists and whether medical treatment is available for this case.

Knowing what your hearing loss is lays the ground work for prescribing amplification, specifically what style and power level hearing aid devices need to be.

Chromebooks coming to West Chicago High One giant step in closing the digital divide is about to occur at Community High School District 94 in West Chicago. On Aug. 4 and 5, about 2,000 students at West Chicago Community High School will receive district owned Chromebooks prior to the start of school Aug. 17.

At WCCHS, preparing students to be meaningful COMMUNITY contributors and impactful VOICE leaders in society is a top Doug priority. In the 21st century, this means teaching students Domeracki to be effective and resourceful at using technology and information, as well as teaching students through a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum. Moving to a 1:1 learning environment, where every student has a Chromebook to use as an engaging learning tool, gives students greater opportunities to direct their learning, access more information, and engage a larger community in intellectual discourse. Learning and studying are no longer restricted by the pages in a book, or the four walls of the classroom, or the hours of the school day.

To gear up for this monumental change, the district has spent the past year preparing. In the summer of 2014, the entire WCCHS infrastructure was WiFi enabled. Chromebooks were deployed to our instructional staff at the end of the 2013-14 school year and training began on their use. Carts with 30 Chromebooks were made available to give teachers real opportunities to apply their learning with students during class time.

The role of the teacher changes from a lecturer surrounded by books to a “roaming conductor” of learning. Teachers move away from whole-group set learning to directing and assisting individuals and small groups, interspersed with presentations, discussions, and teacher-directed activities.

The sheer number of electronic devices needing support could easily overwhelm the District’s IT department. What could have become a huge burden to the district now is a great resource and a great opportunity for students; the Technical Support Internship class at WCCHS, beginning this fall. Students will learn hardware, software and network problem-solving as well as valuable customer services skills as they run a help desk to support the 1:1 learning environment at WCCHS. Students will be the first line of customer service to assist classmates and staff with Chromebook repairs, troubleshooting, and other technical issues.

OUR VIEW

Keep negotiations in governor’s hands Illinois voters elected Bruce Rauner knowing full well his stance on organized labor and with the expectation that he would negotiate with the state’s labor unions.

A legislative proposal vetoed by the governor in July and now up for an override vote would take that power out of the governor’s hands and into those of an arbitrator.

It would be a mistake.

The legislative proposal, S.B. 1229, would provide for a panel of three arbitrators to consider the proposals put forward by the union and the state. They could choose elements of either, but could not modify them to forge a compromise. The legislation is targeted specifically at Rauner, applying only to contracts that expired June 30 of this year.

The major union representing state employees in Illinois is the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME. In Illinois, almost 40,000 state workers are represented by AFSCME. Its negotiators are seeking an 11.5 percent pay increase for employees over a new fouryear contract. Rauner said AFSCME’s contract proposal would cost the state $1.6 billion in salary and pension expenses and eliminate $500 million in health care savings. The administration said the union also wants five weeks of vacation time, a 37.5-hour workweek and more expensive health benefits.

Rauner, citing the disastrous condition of the state’s finances, wants the workers to agree to a four-year pay freeze.

Doug Domeracki is the superintendent of Community High School District 94.

It’s clear that the threat of a strike is on the mind of Rauner; his team has been working on contingency plans in the event of a strike, which the sides have agreed will not happen between now and the end of September.

But why would we want to take the power to negotiate out of the hands of our elected chief executive and turn it over to an arbitrator who is accountable to no one? That’s the kind of backroom dealing that got Illinois where it is in the first place.

Rauner, a venture capitalist and multi-millionaire making his first foray into public service, was upfront about his desire to reduce union influence and hold the line on labor costs in Illinois in light of the state’s dire financial situation.

Illinois voters elected Rauner overwhelmingly, some of them no doubt in hopes that he would do just that.

We want negotiations between the state and its unions to be both transparent and fair. Those making the decisions should be accountable to the taxpayers whose money they are spending.

Overriding Rauner’s veto of S.B. 1229 would do the opposite. Our state legislators should let it stand.

It is time everyone in Springfield, from lawmakers to state employees, face reality: Illinois is broke, and its people are not willing to pay more until they see serious commitment to changing the broken system that got us here.

A big thank you

I would like to thank the people last week for comments made about teacher salaries.

I especially am grateful to the person who is not a teacher but sees the efforts put forth by educators. That was the best gift I could have received as the school year begins!

Producers need to step up

In response to the person who said, “The producers owe the parasites nothing.” They should remember that we are paying a lot of money to people who are working, but the “producers” will not pay a living wage and the rest of us have to chip in to bring them up to a wage they can live on. Tell the “producers” to pay their employees. We should not have to pay them. They are not working for us.

Day and night. There are not that many open vehicle crossings without working gates or signals. What’s with all these noisy train horns, you train engineers? I moved out to the country where I thought it would be nice and quiet, most of the time anyway.

Good place to start with budget

I keep hearing how we might have to have a tax hike in the future because our town is so cash strapped, but I’m sitting here this morning, watching a crew tear out a perfectly good sidewalk to replace it with a new one, which of course we’re paying for, and leaving the parkway and the surrounding area worse than it was before they started. I thought we had a new council; I thought they were going to rein in the budget. This would be a really good place to start.

No ‘gentle helpers’

By C.R. Walker If you haven’t spent a Thursday in June or July at the Village of Addison’s Rock ‘N’ Wheels you don’t know what you’ve been missing. Thankfully, you haven’t completely missed what’s been a hugely successful event this summer at Village Green as August is loaded with some great musical acts and interesting food themes. Oh, and don’t forget about the cool cars and bikes that are on display as part of Bike & Car Cruise Night.

Whether or not Mother Nature brings the heat on August 6 remains to be seen, but you can enjoy some Mexican food at whatever heat you desire as part of Taco Night. The local band Fuze will play a “Fuze-ion” of various genres of music, including Santana.

There will be diverse food choices on August 13 as part of Around the World

Cuisine. Addison’s very own Blue Mavericks, will play some great classic, blues and rock so bring your dancing shoes.

Who can forget the teacher at the end of “Another Brick in the Wall,” screaming, “If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding?” You’ll undoubtedly hear many of the classics from Pink Floyd when Think Floyd performs on August 20. You may not be able to find any pudding, but the food theme is Italian so you’ll certainly find plenty of good eats to your liking.

For the final Rock ‘N’ Wheels of the summer on August 27 you’ll swear that Ozzy Osbourne has visited Addison when Black Sabbath tribute band War Pigs take the stage. Enjoy the Chef’s Special food theme.

As always, there will be assorted booths featuring local organizations and there are some shopping opportunities.

Bring the whole family since the kids can enjoy a variety of games and activities.

After reading about the proposed construction at Glenbard West that will disrupt the land around Honeysuckle Hill, a presettlement wooded area, our family decided to ride our bikes to the site to see the hill firsthand. What we found was much more than a beautiful wooded hill. ... Couldn’t this land be better used as a learning tool for students? At the very least, an archaeological survey of the hill and surrounding area should be done before construction. We need to document this important piece of Glen Ellyn’s past.

By NATHAN LURZ The College of DuPage and its attorneys are investigating the source of the leak of an audio recording of a closed meeting regarding a contract extension with President Robert Breuder, with a vow to turn over what they find to the proper legal authorities.

A recording for the Dec. 18, 2014, closed session where trustees discussed Breuder’s $763,000 buyout was given to several media outlets, although the release of such recordings is prohibited by the Open Meetings Act. In the closed session meeting, trustees spoke at length about Breuder’s ouster, including his original buyout asking price of $1.5 million and that his retirement was actually a mutual termination, according to media reports.

College attorney Dan Kinsella called it a sensitive personnel matter, as well as a serious violation of the law, during the July 30 board meeting.

Kinsella also mentioned that items were protected by attorney-client privilege.

“The college is investigating this leak,” he said. “We intend to find out who and under what circumstances it was leaked. Any evidence we do find will be turned over to the authorities for prosecution.”

He said the leak is a misdemeanor under Illinois law, which could result in a maximum of 30 days in jail, a $1,500 fine and permanent criminal record. If the individual is an employee, he or she would be terminated for cause.

He also said some of the other meetings could have been leaked, and that the board needed to protect the privacy of closed sessions.

“The board and the attorneys and members of staff appear in closed session ... under a veil of confidentiality that is protected by law,” he said. “And that is something that should be and has to be protected by this college.”

Board Chairman Kathy Hamilton called the illegal releases “political in nature.”

The college announced Breuder would be taking medical leave the same week the newly elected board placed him on administrative leave this April, where he remains.

GAME REPORT

| NEWS

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com The College of DuPage Board of Trustees undertook a massive, 35-item agenda during its meeting July 30, hitting on its future budget, an illegal leak and an update on an attorney general opinion. Here are more topics from the meeting: A pair of trustees took their frustration about an alleged lack of communication and transparency through a venue usually reserved for journalists and members of the public.

Trustees Erin Birt and Dianne McGuire filed two Freedom of Information Act requests apiece July 23 and 27, detailing a total of 24 requests including communications to attorneys, information on internal investigations, financial reports and invoices.

Birt and McGuire both previously had brought concerns about a lack of financial reports and general lack of communication between the “Clean Slate” majority and themselves and trustee Joseph Wozniak.

Birt said she and McGuire had brought it up publicly and privately, calling the FOIAs a last resort.

“I’m encouraged and hopeful that the communication will improve as we go forward,” Birt said.

During the meeting, board Chairwoman Kathy Hamilton slammed the actions, saying board members had “manufactured distractions.”

“I ask the board members to please focus your energy on the business at hand,” she said. “Our energy is wellspent when we work towards positive efforts and it is spent poorly when we work towards negative efforts.”

However, when board Vice Chairwoman Deanne Mazzochi said the effort to push “headlines” and a “vendetta” should be spoken about in the meeting, Hamilton declined to put it on the agenda, saying the college would respond to the requests and wanted the two to get that response before engaging in a discussion on their merits.

Press Continues Scoring as Chicago Draws 2-2 with FCKC Late Hagen equalizer prevents Red Stars win over defending NWSL champs Lisle, Ill. – Saturday evening saw the Red Stars come away with a tie for the second game in a row after facing a fellow NWSL title contender.

Christen Press impressed packed stadium by scoring a brace, with both assists coming from fellow World Cup winner Lori Chalupny.

However, it wasn’t enough for the Red Stars, who saw their goals rendered null by FCKC’s Amy LePeilbet and Sarah Hagen, whose late equalizer earned a point for the defending champions.

Playing in front of their second consecutive sellout crowd at home, the Red Stars took the lead in the 12th minute of the match with a well-timed assist from Lori Chalupny who sent the ball over the defense for Press to run on to.

The forward took one touch and got around the keeper to tap the ball into an open net.

The visitors from Kansas tied the score in the 35th minute, as veterean Amy LePeilbet headed in Lauren Holiday’s corner kick. FCKC could have turned the match around three minutes from the break, Red Stars defender Abby Erceg’s professional foul keeping Amy Rodriguez from sprinting on to a through ball from midfield. Fortunately for the Chicago center back, referee Matthew Franz cautioned her with a yellow card on the play and Yael Averbuch curled the ensuing free-kick from the edge of the box just over the frame.

The fans at Benedictine University in Lisle had to wait until the 64th minute for the next big spike in the action, and Michele Dalton delivered in a big way, coming up with back-toback spectacular saves. First the Chicago goalkeeper palmed Heather O’Reilly’s long-range shot over the frame in an impressive fashion.

Then she back pedaled on the subsequent corner kick from the right and leapt up, tipping

FACEBOOK.COM/CHICAGOREDSTARS

the attempt over the crossbar just in time to keep Lauren Holiday from scoring directly.

Press gave the Red Stars the lead in the 74th minute. The second goal yet again came from a Chalupny assist- the forward received the ball with her back to goal and looked to have no options, but a quick turn and some precise footwork allowed her to lose her mark and send the ball curling into the upper 90 for the go ahead goal. It was her eighth strike in just six games this season.

The spectacular strike visibly lifted Head Coach Rory Dames’ squad, which came agonizingly close to doubling its advantage four minutes later. After rookie Danielle Colaprico blasted a shot off the bar from just outside the area, Alyssa Mautz pounced on the rebound to drive a first-time attempt on frame that forced Rowland to dive to her right and deflect the ball wide by way of an excellent fingertip save.

Just as it seemed like the Red Stars might be able to hold on for a massive win over the defending NWSL champions, substitute Sarah Hagen had other plans, beating a defender to the ball in the box to head home O’Reilly’s signature cross from the right flank. The home side could have reclaimed its advantage deep inside stoppage time, but the referee’s whistle remained silent on what looked like a potential handball by FCKC defender Sauerbrunn to block substitute Vanessa DiBernardo’s cross in from the right.

The Chicago Red Stars travel to take on mighty Portland Thorns FC on August 9. The club’s next home match is an August 12 clash with Sky Blue FC. Single-game and season tickets for the 2015 Red Stars campaign may be purchased by clicking here or by calling 773-698-6001.

Dr. Donald Haider, chairman of the board’s long-promised and much-discussed transition team, publicly presented his mission and vision for the body for the first time at the meeting.

Haider, a veteran professor, government administrator and board member of more than 30 different organizations, said the panel of experts

“Any time in our society that we have a fundamental change in democratic governance of an organization ... it’s a good time to have a transition, to have some independent and outside eyes to come and have a look.”

Donald Haider College of DuPage Board’s transition team chairman

and community members would look at improving board policy and accountability. He previously served as budget director and CFO for the city of Chicago, deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury and vice chairman of the Chicago School Finance Authority.

“Any time in our society that we have a fundamental change in democratic governance of an organization ... it’s a good time to have a transition, to have some independent and outside eyes to come and have a look,” he said.”

Haider and Hamilton said the group includes current Chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority Kirk Dillard, DuPage County Board member Paul Fichtner, Faculty Association President Glenn Hanson and several other officials and residents.

Each member will tackle a different topic, including each of the board’s strategic goals.

Haider will present the findings in October, he said.

Hamilton said the team was a valuable asset and would provide a fresh look at the college and help “really understand what good governance is.”

A look at education committee

Hamilton also unveiled the board’s education committee, a topic of conversation during the college’s recent accreditation review with the Higher Learning Commission.

Mazzochi will head the committee and will be joined by Board Secretary Frank Napolitano and trustee McGuire.

The three will create a formal charter to outline the committee’s responsibilities and structure for board approval, Hamilton said.

(BPT) - Low rainfall and lack of snow melt, along with record high temperatures have contributed to the worst drought California has seen in decades. In fact, some studies suggest it’s the worst the state has seen in 1,000 years, but California isn’t the only state suffering extremely dry conditions.

The country as a whole is in the midst of one of the most sustained periods of increasing drought on record, according to the Palmer Index.

“With communities around the world facing water supply challenges, it is more important than ever to use water efficiently,” says Paul Patton, Delta Faucet Company senior research and development and regulatory manager. “Working alongside the EPA’s WaterSense program, companies such as Delta Faucet continue to innovate and make water-efficient products available for homeowners to easily reduce water usage without sacrificing experience or performance.”

You can save thousands of gallons of water per year, and reduce your utility bills, with a few simple home upgrades: Replace your showerhead: Showering accounts for nearly 17 percent of residential indoor water use - for the average family, that’s nearly 40 gallons per day, the EPA says. If you can’t decrease your shower time, retrofit your showerheads with WaterSense-labeled models to save up to 40 percent of the water you’d typically use when showering. Thanks to new technologies like Delta H2Okinetic technology, which provides the feeling of a warmer, more drenching shower without using more water, you won’t have to sacrifice your experience for efficiency.

Fix a leak: Whether they’re from an outdoor spigot, an indoor toilet or a faucet, leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted in homes every year, according to the EPA. Keep your home leak-free by investing in easy-to-install, efficient fixtures throughout the home.

Update your bathroom faucet: While you should turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, you can also find a faucet that uses less water while it runs. According to the EPA, the average family can save 700 gallons of water per year by retrofitting their bathroom faucets with water-efficient models. These new models flow at 1.5 gallons per minute (GPM) versus the standard 2.2 GPM. The EPA reports if every home in the United States replaced existing faucets and aerators with more efficient models, the country would save 64 billion gallons of water annually.

Install a new toilet: Toilets use more water than any other fixture in the home, according to the EPA. Accounting for nearly 30 percent of an average home’s indoor water consumption, it’s important to know that older models can use as much as 6 gallons per flush while newer, WaterSense-labeled versions use 1.28 gallons per flush, the EPA says. Replacing the toilets in your home can make a huge impact on your household’s water usage and may save up to 13,000 gallons per year.

Schmid: How often do you talk to your brother, Titus, and what has he meant to you?

Davis: We talk a lot. We text every day. He’s doing really well down there.

And I’ve learned a lot from him. I look up to him and he’s taught me a lot.

Schmid: With camp set to begin this week, how excited are you for the upcoming season?

Davis: We are pumped. As a team, we’ve come so far and we’ve learned from last year. We’ve been working hard and we need to go into that first game confident and ready.

Schmid: Have you always been a wide Western Michigan University’s Corey Davis runs down the field Oct. 25, 2014, in a game receiver? against Ohio. The Wheaton Warrenville South graduate was one of the most productive Davis: In pee-wee football, I played wide receivers in college football last season. running back and the summer before Schmid: Coming off a strong freshman season individually, how much did it mean to solidify yourself with a monster sophomore campaign?

Davis: It means a lot, but it’s not just me. My team prepared me and they were with me every step of the way. I owe it all to them. And I’m continuing to work very hard because I want to be the best.

Schmid: How have you improved as a wide receiver since your high school days at WWS? Davis: I would say attacking the ball and becoming a more complete wide receiver. At the college level, the defensive backs are all over you. You have to win the 50-50 balls and that is something I continue to work on.

Schmid: Team-wise, going from one win in 2013 to eight, what was last season like?

Davis: It was an experience. Coming off a 1-11 season, we went into the season pretty fired up. It was a pretty good season, but we just have to learn Schmid: So many former WWS players are how to finish.

Heading into his third season at Western Michigan University, Corey Davis already has carved out quite the collegiate career.

Named the Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year in 2013 after catching 67 passes for 941 yards and six touchdowns, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound wide receiver backed that up by being named to the All-MAC First Team last fall after hauling in 78 receptions for 1,408 yards, a yardage total that ranked seventh in the nation and first in the MAC. Davis also tied for third in the country with 15 scores.

He scored a touchdown in 10 straight games to finish the 2014 season and ended the campaign with a 176-yard, three-touchdown performance in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl against Air Force.

Davis, the younger brother of San Diego Chargers free-agent signee Titus Davis, spoke with Suburban Life sports reporter Scott Schmid about his and the Broncos’ success last season, his preparations for this season, and the strong Wheaton Warrenville South program.

Jack Allen

Area football players shining at college level season kickoff. Several players from area high schools will be hitting the field and making an impact for programs across the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision landscape. Here are a few players to keep an eye on this season.

Rob Bain

COLLEGE: Michigan State YEAR: Senior HIGH SCHOOL: Hinsdale Central IMPACT: Allen enters his fourth year as a starter on the Spartans’ offensive line after redshirting in 2011. As a junior, the 6-foot-2, 295-pounder was selected as a first-team All-American by USA Today and also was named one of six finalists for the Rimington Award, given to the nation’s most outstanding center. Allen didn’t allow a sack all season and figures to be a mainstay on the line this season.

COLLEGE: Illinois YEAR: Junior HIGH SCHOOL: Bolingbrook IMPACT: Part of Bolingbrook’s state championship team in 2011, Bain has played a bigger role for the Illini each season after taking a redshirt season in 2012. The 2014 season was Bain’s most productive yet. The defensive lineman played in all 13 games, starting seven, and finished the season with 29 total tackles, including four for loss and one sack. In his first career start against Purdue, he recorded six tackles. He will be looking to build off that production this fall.

COLLEGE: Stanford YEAR: Senior HIGH SCHOOL: Glenbard West IMPACT: The 6-foot-4, 297-pound guard heads into his senior campaign this fall as a vital cog on the offensive line. Caspers played in 13 games in 2014, starting 12 of them, and was a Pac-12 All-Academic second-team selection. He also saw action in 14 games as a sophomore and again was a Pac-12 All-Academic second-team pick. Based on his successful 2014, Caspers figures to be a big key to Stanford’s success this fall.

COLLEGE: UConn YEAR: Sophomore HIGH SCHOOL: Downers Grove North IMPACT: Diggs got his feet wet at the collegiate level in 2014, playing in all 12 games for the Huskies as a true freshman. Seeing time as both a linebacker and on special teams, the 6-foot-2, 215-pounder finished with 10 tackles on the season, including a season-high four tackles against SMU on Dec. 6. Diggs could have a major impact on the Huskies’ defense this season.

COLLEGE: Northwestern YEAR: Junior HIGH SCHOOL: Lyons Township IMPACT: Harris started all 12 games last fall at cornerback and finished in a tie for 13th in the Big Ten with nine pass breakups. He was third on the Wildcats in tackles with 70 (58 solos and 12 assists) and notched interceptions against Illinois and Michigan while forcing a pair of fumbles. The junior was an Academic All-Big Ten selection and could be an even bigger force for the Wildcats this fall.

COLLEGE: Northwestern YEAR: Sophomore HIGH SCHOOL: Glenbard North IMPACT: The running back burst onto the collegiate scene as a true freshman and earned Honorable Mention All-Big Ten accolades in 2014.

Jackson became the 16th player in program history to record a 1,000-yard rushing season, finishing with 1,187 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also caught 22 passes for 201 yards and an additional score and is looking to be just as productive this fall.

Ethan Pocic

Dan Vitale

COLLEGE: LSU YEAR: Junior HIGH SCHOOL: Lemont IMPACT: The junior is ticketed to start at center for the Tigers this fall and has been named to the Rimington Award Watch List, which is an award given to the most outstanding center in NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. Pocic started all 12 games as a sophomore in 2014, playing both center and right guard. The 6-foot-7, 300-pounder also played in six contests as a freshman.

COLLEGE: Northwestern YEAR: Senior HIGH SCHOOL: Wheaton Warrenville South IMPACT: He enters the final season of what has turned out to be an outstanding college career. After entering the lineup as a true freshman in 2012, Vitale started all 12 games at superback in each of the past two years. As a junior, Vitale was an Honorable Mention All-Big Ten pick after being second on Northwestern with 40 catches for 402 yards and two touchdowns and could be a key offensive player this season.

Jordan Walsh

SCHOOL: Iowa YEAR: Senior HIGH SCHOOL: Glenbard West IMPACT: A veteran on the offensive line for the Hawkeyes, the Glenbard West graduate is set to begin his senior season. Walsh played in 12 games a year ago with 10 starts at right guard.

The 6-foot-4, 290-pounder started all 13 contests as a sophomore and also played in seven games as a freshman after redshirting in 2011.

Jordan Westerkamp

COLLEGE: Nebraska YEAR: Junior HIGH SCHOOL: Montini IMPACT: After catching 20 passes for 283 yards as a redshirt freshman in 2013, Westerkamp saw his numbers more than double last fall. The wide receiver played in all 13 games for the Huskers and was second on the team with 44 receptions for 747 yards and five touchdowns. The junior also is a two-time Academic All-Big Ten pick.

COLLEGE: Illinois YEAR: Senior HIGH SCHOOL: Lemont IMPACT: After starting his collegiate football career at St. Xavier University, an NAIA school in Chicago, Fejedelem walked on at Illinois in the spring of 2013 and took a redshirt season that fall, then broke out with a productive 2014 season. He played in all 13 games and finished the season with 51 total tackles, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery against Ohio State.

He could be a major piece in the defensive secondary this season.
