Although he said working in the sun is no easy task, he now has a fond appreciation for the Park District’s maintenance crews. “It’s been challenging, but it’s good experience and I’ve grown to like it,� Seyller said. “I’m surrounded by hardworking individuals who love their job, and I get to work outside all day – I honestly can’t think of a better way to spend the summer.�

WESTMONT – Helping hands are in abundance this summer at the Westmont Park District. After receiving a youth employment grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for the second consecutive year, the park district hired nine additional young seasonal employees ages 16 to 19 to help with either the summer day camps or the maintenance crew. Westmont Park District Superintendent of Parks and Planning Bob Fleck said they interviewed candidates in the spring knowing they had to hire a summer staff, all the while remaining cognizant that, if awarded the grant, they also could employ extra help. When word came down from the Department of Natural Resources that Westmont was a grant recipient, park district staff scrambled to hire an extra nine workers. “We were awarded the grant in second week of June, so it was then a mad dash to complete the paperwork and fill the positions that same week,� Fleck said. “But it’s been an amazing summer with

Learn about USPS Westmont Postmaster Robinson-Hodge my feet, and I love the person-to-person interaction.
By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – After the departure of the U.S. Postal Service Westmont’s previous postmaster, longtime USPS worker Shenita Robinson-Hodge was asked to assume Westmont’s interim postmaster duties and was then was hired in May full time. Following an Aug. 6 installation ceremony, Westmont Suburban Life Editor Alex Soulier sat down with Robinson-Hodge to gauge her excitement level and see what the post office has to offer the Westmont community.
Soulier: Have you set any goals or expectations for yourself? Robinson-Hodge: My main goal is customer service. I want to make sure Westmont residents are happy with the USPS. I want to see the complaints go down. The ultimate goal is to help the public in any way possible.

Soulier: What U.S. Post Office position have you previously held? Robinson-Hodge: I’ve worked for the post office for more than 15 years, doing everything from being a city letter carrier to participating on all kinds of teams. Previously, I was postmaster of Western Springs, and before then I was supervisor of the Westmont office.
Soulier: What are some of the duties of a postmaster? Robinson-Hodge: Postmasters run the community’s post office, overseeing delivery and the window, paying all the bills, ensuring quality customer service, helping people, tracking hours and overtime and making sure people are paid on time. You name it, I do.
hear about online security breeches, whereas we pride ourselves on being a secure, dependable and extremely reliable service. Soulier: Why is the post office still a preferred option when there are so many private mail carriers out there? Robinson-Hodge: I think postal service is more cost effective. Most people leave us and say they are going to use one of our competitors come back because we are a less expensive option.
Mayor Ron Gunter and U.S. Postal Service Operation Program and Support Manager Earl Clement attend an installation ceremony Aug. 6 for Soulier: What do you say to Robinson-Hodge. critics who claim the USPS is an Soulier: Sounds like a pretty hectic day-to-day job.

Soulier: What did it mean to you to have so many friends and family members present at the installation? Robinson-Hodge: It was awesome, made me feel great. To have so many people come and support you, compliment you, that’s a wonderful treat and a humbling experience. In addition to my family and friends, I also felt the support of God. With his guidance I have come this far, and I will continue to grow and go further.
outdated or antiquated service? Robinson-Hodge: Although I think the younger generation tends to do a lot of things online, there are so many people who do things by mail. Young and old people love getting cards and some people still love collecting stamps. And I also think that there are services that cannot be done online. More and more, you

SPACE MAINTAINERS Q: What are space maintainers? A: Baby teeth are not just cute, ultimately disposable items that pop up for a while in your child’s mouth and then become underthe-pillow fodder for tooth fairy payments. They are essential to development of a child’s mouth. Not only do they let the baby chew and speak, they hold space in the jaws for the arrival of the permanent teeth. If a baby tooth is lost prematurely to decay or injury, its neighboring teeth may shift into the gap. This can cause a problem down the line when the permanent tooth is ready to come into that spot and the space is taken. The result can be crooked, cramped teeth that will not only be unsightly, but could affect the child’s speech and eating. One way of addressing this potential problem is through use of a space maintainer, an appliance your dentist can insert to keep other teeth from shifting and keeping the spot open for the permanent tooth. The device might be a temporary crown, a wire loop or a spring that spans the gap. When the permanent tooth is ready to erupt, the dentist will remove the device. This is but one of the reasons why it is important for even the youngest patients to get a thorough dental examination. It’s recommended that your child make his or her first visit to the dentist within six months of the first baby tooth erupting.

6 Village approves stormwater utility question for April election SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT – The Westmont Village Board approved an ordinance that will add a stormwater utility question to the April 7 election ballot. At Thursday’s Westmont Village Board meeting, trustees unanimously approved the agenda item, paving the way for the DuPage County Election Commission to draft and add a stormwater utility referendum question to the April 7 ballot. Initially, the board considered adding the stormwater question to the November ballot but ultimately decided that a lack of public engagement
News to your phone Visit shawurl.com/texts to sign up for news and weather text alerts from Suburban Life. signaled a need for more educational opportunities. As a result, Westmont officials let the Aug. 4 deadline to file a referendum question with the DuPage County Election commission pass. “The board feels that this is too important of an issue to not make sure that we get the word out to residents prior to moving forward with this initiative,”
Trustee Steve Nero said. “While we have been discussing this issue in depth since the April 2013 historic flooding incident in northeast Illinois, we feel that more outreach is needed before residents fully understand the impact and the value of creating a stormwater utility.” “We have had a public hearing, but it was not that well attended and I think the more education we can give, the better,” Trustee Sue Senicka said. Trustee Harold Barry pointed out the upcoming winter could impact sentiments regarding a stormwater utility. If a lot of snow and rain occurs this winter, the public would
be more inclined to approve a stormwater utility, he said. Village officials have echoed they will do everything in their power to continue to educate the residents while remaining neither for nor against the issue, as they cannot legally lobby for a referendum’s approval. During the week of July 20, the village of Westmont created and uploaded a 21-minute video explaining the stormwater fee. The video will remain on the village website and social media channels. A stormwater utility would directly charge property owners to pay for stormwater sewer proj-
ects. Previously, those projects, such as replacing a stormwater detention basin, were funded by the village through taxes. The proposed projects would cost about $1.6 million annually, and would be funded with a monthly stormwater utility fee levied on all property owners – including property owning nonprofits, which are exempt from property taxes. Although specific costs to homeowners cannot be settled until the stormwater fee is approved, a stormwater stakeholder group proposed a fee that is based on the size of a parcel of property and ranges from $6.72 per month to $12.48 per month.
Westmont police offer safe way for residents to dispose of unwanted drugs SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTMONT – The Westmont Police Department will host an unwanted and expired drug disposal program from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 27, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Westmont Police Department, 500 N.
Cass Ave. The collection will accept pills and patches only. The program does not accept liquids, needles, inhalers, sprays or creams, according to a village of Westmont news release. “This program is designed to provide citizens with an op-
portunity to safely dispose of old and unwanted prescription drugs,” Deputy Police Chief Ross Brenza said in the release. “The goal of the program is to reduce substance abuse, especially amongst teens, as well as prevent potentially dangerous drugs from enter-
ing the fresh water supply.” Members of the Westmont Police Department and the DEA will receive all medications being delivered to the collection site and will ensure safe disposal of these drugs, according to the release. For information regarding
the U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration, visit www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov. For information regarding Westmont’s participation in this program, contact Deputy Chief Brenza at rbrenza@westmont.il.gov or 630-981-6323.

Nybo replaces Dillard, vows to never give up on Illinois By MARI GRIGALIUNAS LOMBARD – Chris Nybo, R-Elmhurst, took the oath of office to replace Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale in the Illinois Senate’s 24th District on Aug. 6 in Lombard. “I’m so happy and so proud that Chris Nybo will be my senator in Springfield,” Dillard said. A group of Illinois elected officials, including state Senate GOP Leader Christine Radogno, joined Nybo supporters at the Sunken Garden Memorial at Lombard Common Park for the swearing in ceremony. “I was delighted to step down early so that the district will have a seamless transition,” said Dillard, who won the 2012 primary against Nybo. Nybo’s appointment comes after Dillard resigned from the state Senate in order to accept his appointment as chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority. “Kirk Dillard understands

He has the history to know the issues that he’s going to be facing. … We will miss him very, very much,” Radogno said. She then welcomed Nybo, who once helped with one of her campaigns, ringing doorbells, for the state Senate. “[Nybo] is a guy who has had a long commitment to pub-
lic service,” Radogno said. DuPage GOP Chairwoman Darlene Ruscitti and Lyons Township GOP committeeman James Falvey convened a committee, which appointed Nybo to be sworn in and fulfill the term. The overwhelming majority of the district is in DuPage County with a few precincts in Western Springs

Westmont Special Events Corporation board member and volunteer Kelly Smith directs a driver where to park July 31 during the Thursday Cruisin’ Nights Street Fair.
Thumbs up to all the volunteers who have made this year’s summer events possible – from the more than 100 individuals who volunteered at the Taste of Westmont to the 10 to 15 people who take time out of their weekly schedule to help out at the Thursday street fair. Without your help and dedication, these community celebrations would not be possible. Another thank you is due to the Westmont Special Events Corp. Thumbs up to all residents and business owners who participated in this past weekend’s communitywide garage sale. Each year, the Village of Westmont and the Westmont Special Events Corporation organize a communitywide garage sale, which encourages residents to hold their garage sales during the same weekend to bring out the bargain hunters en masse. Hopefully you had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather and experience one of the annual events that makes Westmont such a unique community.

A fact of life with dog walking
I totally agree with the writer who was responding to the La Grange writer complaining about dogs peeing in their yard and how gross it is. People walk dogs. It’s a fact of life. Responsible dog owners do not just dump their dogs in their backyards, they walk them. It’s a form of exercise for both walker and dog and [it] socializes the dog to the world around them. Dogs who are socialized are less likely to be aggressive. Responsible dog owners also pick up after their dog, but peeing is a different ball of wax. You can’t prevent that and most people in our neighborhood try to steer the dogs to a tree or something in the parkway. But even if they pee on your flowers, it isn’t going to ruin them. Get a life, or a dome, as the reader suggested!

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

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

DOWNERS GROVE – A Woodridge man has filed a suit against VCA Arboretum View Animal Hospital in Downers Grove claiming neglect and malpractice at the clinic that led to his dog Bella’s death. The Great Dane’s owner, Gary Austin, brought the 3 ½-year-old pet to VCA the night of Aug. 23, 2013, for emergency services, according to the complaint. Despite receiving more than $12,000 in treatment, Bella’s condition worsened while at the veterinary hospital, before dying four days later from a ruptured stomach. Austin said in a phone interview that he noticed the dog’s stomach bloating and had the pet to the facility within 10 minutes. A review of the veterinary care written by Animal Surgery Advocacy Services, a third party hired by Austin, said Bella was initially misdiagnosed. She then waited for more than three hours for surgery the night she was brought to the clinic, despite an initial radiology report stating the need for immediate surgery. “She was a good dog,” he said. “Nobody should have to go through this at all.” The hospital wrote a letter defending its care, included in the filing, stating the three hours were spent hydrating the dog with an IV and applying pain medication before surgery because she was in a state of shock.
“If the pet had been anesthetized immediately while she was in shock and dehydrated, before being stabilized with IV fluids and medication, surgery may have been even more harmful to her health,” the hospital wrote. The Animal Surgery Advocacy Services report states records from the night Bella was admitted show she had “normal vital parameters” and no mention of being in a state of shock or dehydration when she arrived at the hospital. “Nowhere do the records indicate Bella was too unstable for surgery,” the report read. “Bella’s surgery was delayed because the only surgeon available had three other procedures to perform and Bella was deemed the most stable and able to wait the longest, despite the independent expert [radiologist] recommending ‘immediate’ surgery.” Austin is seeking in excess of $50,000 for each of the four counts – professional malpractice, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment and negligence. The suit claims he continues to experience “grief, betrayal, illness and anger over the actions of the defendants.” Austin initially contested the credit card charges because of the perceived low quality of care but was not reimbursed. “I just wanted them to forget the bill, and I would have been fine,” he said. A request for comment from the hospital was not returned.

As a young man he ran away with the Cole Brothers Circus and served in many capacities including performing as a clown in the Emmett Kelly tradition. A man of projects, he built his three homes by reading how-to books. He was also known for building detailed models of vehicles, especially circus wagons and automobiles. During his retirement he became active in the Toastmasters, Optimists and Coast Guard. He was known to many as “Grandpa Wave” due to his participation in Amphicar events.

Teens take music to next level, play at Lollapalooza By ZACHARY WHITE zwhite@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – For most performers it was another large weekendlong concert, but for two Hinsdale teens it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Paden Guido, 17, and Meghan Callahan, 18, took the Lollapalooza stage Aug. 1 in Chicago, performing in front of thousands of festivalgoers. “There’s really this feeling you have that really can’t be put into words,” Guido said. Guido and Callahan were joined by musicians from across the country as part of the School of Rock AllStars Tour. Rick Carney, the AllStars music director who worked with Guido and Callahan before and during Lollapalooza, said 150 musicians were chosen out of 15,000 students in the School of Rock system nationwide to perform as part of the AllStars tour. As part of the tour, the girls performed at Chicago taverns and venues for nearly a week until they finally took the stage at Lollapalooza. And for each girl the experience gave them something to appreciate. “The best part was just being surrounded by the other artists,” Callahan said. She explained that seeing the same intensity and dedication for music in others delighted her. While Callahan enjoyed the company she was in, Guido’s fix was playing the music. “Playing at Lolla – I couldn’t believe that happened,” she said. Patrick McKenna, the general manager of the Hinsdale School of Rock where the girls go to, said both are talented musicians but have different personalities. “Meghan [Callahan]’s kind of this reserved artist who’s very thoughtful,” he said. McKenna said she came into the School of Rock program at 16 and worked her way through the system. She couldn’t play guitar but got very good at it in the two years she was there working. For the six months leading up to Lollapalooza, he said

Meghan Callahan takes the Lollapalooza stage Aug. 1. Callahan worked on vocals, which is what she was selected to perform during the AllStars Tour. On the other hand, McKenna said Guido is quite different. “Paden [Guido] is enthusiastic and very caring,” McKenna said. Guido came into School of Rock with years of vocal lessons and experience. She moved from more classical music to Rock ’n’ Roll, and started playing the guitar and bass, the instrument she played during the AllStars Tour. McKenna explained the amount of work the girls put into their work is what makes them truly great. “You get what you give, that’s why these AllStars are such good players,” he said. For the two teens from Hinsdale, the hard work turned into a huge show. Guido said the feeling she gets from performing is something you can’t get anywhere else. “The energy of the crowd, it was really such an incredible energy. You can feel every beat and the crowd,” Guido said. “That’s the feeling I live for.”

emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Rob Kopecky was the member of a neighboring town’s photo club the first time he visited the Downers Grove Camera Club as a guest judge for its monthly competition. “I was so impressed by the quality of the work at Downers Grove that I resigned from the other club and I joined Downers Grove’s,” he said. “I was just totally blown away by the outstanding quality that this club brings in making prints and slides, they’re just phenomenal.” Now the Downers Grove club’s program chair, Kopecky is looking to grow its mem-
bers, but attract people with all different skill sets,” he said. “And we know not everybody has a real expensive camera. We’re encouraging anyone that’s interested to bring their point-and-shoot or their iPhones or their iPads – anything that takes an image.” For new photographers with expensive equipment, the club’s wealth of knowledge can be helpful as well, he said. Following the prospective member meetings on Sept. 16 and 30, the club’s regular meeting schedule will resume in October. Each month, one meeting is dedicated to competition, and two meetings are dedicated

New bill addresses law enforcement misconduct
DOWNERS GROVE – A bill was signed into law Friday addressing misconduct by law enforcement personnel and dispatchers who use information learned through their employment to obstruct an investigation or arrest. Co-sponsored by Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, the bill was filed in response to a 1998 case where a local police dispatcher tipped off a local drug dealer that the police were nearby his home, according to a press release. The employee was initially found guilty of misconduct, but the decision was reversed at the appellate level and upheld by the Illinois Supreme Court when the justices could not find any Illinois law that made the dispatcher’s behavior illegal, the release stated. The new law now makes it a Class 3 felony for a dispatcher or law enforcement employee to warn a criminal of an investigation or potential arrest.

Sven Flodstrom (No. 316) and Brian Lesters (No. 16) congratulate each other after finishing the 2013 Woodridge Rotary Club’s annual Mini Triathlon at Cypress Cove.
Rotary’s Mini Triathlon returns for 15th year By HANNAH PROKOP hprokop@shawmedia.com WOODRIDGE – Since the Woodridge Rotary Club’s annual Mini Triathlon first stepped off 14 years ago, it has grown from about 60 participants to an estimated 1,000 participants. As of late last week, 677 participants have signed up for this year’s competition, and organizers expect there to be about 1,000 triathletes by the time registration closes. The race helps support the community, showcases facilities Woodridge has to offer and encourages volunteerism, according to Mike Adams, executive director of the Woodridge Park District, which helps run the event along with the Rotary Club. “It really turns out to be a community pride type of event,” Adams said. The Mini Triathlon begins at 7 a.m. Sunday at Cypress Cove Aquatic Park, 8301 Janes Ave. The event includes a 250yard swim, a 10k bike ride and a two-mile run. Fees are $60 for individual participants and $35 per person for relay teams. The race is open to all ages. Children under 12 can take part in a 100-yard swim, a 5k bike ride and a one-mile run in the Kids Event, which starts at 10:30 a.m. Fees for the
15th annual Mini Triathlon n Race steps off at 7 a.m. Sun-

Kids Event are $50 for individual participants and $25 per person for relay teams. The Rotary Club will donate $5 for each registered competitor to one of six organizations, chosen by the athletes. Organizations include SEASPAR, Woodridge Community Pantry, Hope’s Front Door, Beat Necessities Pediatric Cancer, DuPage Habitat for Humanity and Family
Shelter Services. In addition to the $5 donations, net proceeds will be donated to other charitable causes, Adams said. Sponsors also help make the event possible, according to Katy Rush, president of the Woodridge Rotary Club. “The commitment by our local sponsors is critical to supporting the important work that Rotary does in the community,” Rush said in a news release. “We have supported the volunteer efforts of many organizations in our community through the Mini Triathlon, and sponsorships help extend what we can do.” This year’s sponsors include Bolingbrook Adventist Hospital, Wilton Brands, Illinois American Water, Girgis Orthodontics, Bridgeview Bank, Home Run Inn Pizza and Fifth Third Bank. Adams said about 90 volunteers have signed up, but they are looking to have about 120 volunteers. “I think it’s for a giving cause, so, again, their volunteer contribution helps make the event successful, which in turn drives participation,” Adams said, adding that higher participation will result in more donations to the charitable organizations.

Kirk Dillard talks Aug. 6 with state Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno before a swearing-in ceremony for Chris Nybo as state senator in Illinois’ 24th District in the Sunken Garden Veteran’s Memorial in Lombard Common. through Metra, while Pace bus payment and paying to use the Chicago Transit Authority are run through Ventra. Dillard said the solution would be to have “a seamless system of mass transit for our commuters.” Although past chairmen of the RTA have often had trouble getting the boards of Metra, Pace and the CTA to come together as all three are run independent of each other,
Dillard is hopeful to improve upon that fissure. “The RTA requires someone who is cross regional, can work in a bipartisan manner and bring people together,” Dillard said. “I bring a proven ability to bring people in different regions together,” he said. Along with moving toward a one-stop-shop system to pay for fares, Dillard said he wants to see more consisten-
why we’re not like Detroit,” he said. Before becoming chairman of the RTA, Dillard served in the Illinois Senate for more than 20 years. Before that, he served as chief of staff for Gov. Jim Edgar and as a legislative director for former Gov. Jim Thompson. “I hope these skills are transferable – I hope they are – to being chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority,” he said. Dillard replaces John Gates Jr. as chairman of the transportation authority. Gates stepped down after four years as chairman. Chris Nybo, an Elmhurst Republican, will take over Kirk Dillard’s more than 20year reign in the Illinois Senate, representing the 24th District. The 24th District includes all or parts of Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Willowbrook, Westmont, Darien, Downers Grove, Western Springs, Oak Brook, Oakbrook Terrace, Elmhurst, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Lisle.

HINSDALE – After resigning his state senate seat Sunday in a move to take over as chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority, Kirk Dillard wasted no time laying out goals and expectations for the organization that oversees the nation’s second largest mass transit system. Among the number of goals the former state senator of 20 years has set for himself, Dillard said he wants to make traveling throughout Chicago area possible through one system of payment. “I need to get in there and just see what technologies are being used so that we have one universal system,” Dillard said. He pointed out that, as a commuter himself, getting from one place to another can be difficult when using different parts of the mass transit system means paying for parts of the service in different ways. Currently buying tickets to use the Metra trains is run
cy out of Metra. “The train always used to be on time; that’s not the case anymore,” he said. “When I have a meeting, I want to get there on time. At night, I want to get home and take care of my children.” Dillard said part of getting everything to where it needs to be comes down to paying for it. He explained that he would be traveling to Washington, D.C., to make sure lawmakers there know that paying for the transportation authority in Chicago is a priority. He plans to do similar lobbying in Springfield. Also, he said he will be traveling to different cities to see how they run their transit systems, and that he already has visited Dallas. “I was just looking at Dallas, with a little bit of envy, that they have some nice equipment,” he said. But even as Chicago has its troubles, he pointed out that the system is pretty good. “A mass transit system like Chicago is one of the reasons

Relay-style run raises $346,000 for St. Jude’s
DOWNERS GROVE – In an effort to help battle childhood illnesses, a dedicated group of runners set off Aug. 1 from the Midwestern University Campus in Downers Grove to run about 160 miles to Peoria. This marks the 16th year Midwestern University has hosted the kickoff of the annual St. Jude Chicago-to-Peoria relay-style run. The run is part of a nationwide effort to support the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the largest childhood cancer research center in the world.

Forest preserve director may be out after only months on the job By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com WHEATON – The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County may be on the hunt for a new executive director only seven months after hiring the last one. The district’s Board of Commissioners met for several hours Aug. 5 in a closed executive session to discuss the future employment of director Arnie Biondo. After emerging, the commissioners announced he had been placed on paid leave. Both sides are “evaluating employment options,” according to a statement from the district. Biondo was hired in January to replace Brent Manning, who stepped down in June 2012 due to health and family concerns. When he was hired, the former Carol Stream Park District director said he was looking forward to the opportunity and hoped to expand strategic partnerships across the county and turn the dis-
trict into a “resource for the residents.” Biondo signed a three-year contract worth $188,000 per year, according to the document. The contract also includes a without cause termination clause. The district said in the statement that further details will be made public in the next two weeks. District spokeswoman Susan Olafson said the decision now rests with Biondo and that the district won’t release any further information until the matter is resolved, as it is a personnel issue. Biondo’s possible departure comes at a time of transition in district leadership. President D. “Dewey” Pierotti Jr. will retire after the November election and be replaced by Republican commissioner Joseph Cantore, who is running unopposed. Operations across the 60 forest preserves and 25,000 acres of preserve land will continue throughout the process, according to the statement.

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

The hearing on what to do with the funds will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 26 at the DuPage County Administration
Building, 505 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton. The action plan for the money can be accessed at www.dupageco.org/cdbg-dr and will be available for public comment through Sept. 10. It includes the allocation of $4.5 million to purchase homes in flood-prone areas, $3.5 million to assist in the construction of the Klein Creek watershed project at Armstrong Park in Carol Stream and $4.4 million for the West Branch River restoration project. The county anticipates submitting its final plan to the department by Oct. 7.

3 Things You Need To Know Before You Board Your Dog Just Anywhere.

DOWNERS GROVE – Honeybee populations are in crisis worldwide, but a growing apiary managed by the Downers Grove Park District at Lyman Woods is thriving and producing hundreds of pounds of honey. The Park District built its own hives in 2013, beginning with a set of five colonies, which have since grown to Marge Trocki holds a honey frame Aug. 11 that is mostly filled with eight under the management closed cells full of honey at the top. Open cells in the honey comb are of naturalist Marge Trocki, filled with nectar that hasn’t been converted to honey. who also keeps bees in several other locations. “It’s a challenging hobby,” Beekeeping history Trocki said. “And that, to me, makes it enjoyable. You have In 1894, an August issue of the crop of honey was 75 pounds, and to make decisions and think American Bee Journal describes a by 1894 he was producing thoulike a bee. And you get all this visit to the farm owned by Walter sands of pounds each season from wonderful honey and wax and C. Lyman – part of which now 70 colonies of bees. Most recently product from the hives.” forms the Lyman Woods Nature a volunteer ran a small apiary, In July, Trocki and staff Preserve, Park District Spokesman which was then temporarily harvested almost 400 pounds Ian Everett said.

Continued from page 23 for a pound and $6 for 8 ounces. As of Aug. 6, more than half of the stock had already sold. Each colony consists of a single stack of wooden boxes filled with trays, swarmed with bees. A small, circular entrance on the bottom box is the insects’ only means of coming or going. The queen and her brood live in lower levels, and as the colony grows, Trocki stacks another box on top to give more room. Managing space is key – too much and pests or disease can take root – not enough, and the bees will ditch the hive and find a nice hole in a tree. The honey is largely concentrated to the top box, from which Trocki can remove the frames and collect the sweet nectar. During a demonstration, the bees were calm, going about their various tasks and otherwise ignoring their human visitors. Beyond just honey, bees serve an important ecological purpose in the park as well, traveling as far as three miles from the apiary to pollinate flowers and other plants, Trocki said, of which Lyman Woods is diverse and rich. “We have a little vegetable garden,” she said. “It’s doing well partly because of the honeybees.” The types of flowers and trees foraged by the bees influences the honey’s color and taste, which changes by the season. “Our fist harvest in July is a lot lighter color than the fall harvest, due to the different types of flowers” she said. “It’s more bold later in the year. But it’s not always the case.
You go across the country and get different colors and get opposite tastes.” The bees also are used for a variety of educational classes and projects. The wax, for instance, scraped from the frames to reveal the honey during harvest, was then used by children at the Interpretive Center this summer to make candles. Trocki has been keeping bees herself for about seven years. Her home colonies at one point reached three dozen in number, but she said she’s since paired it back to about 20. “What I enjoy most about bee keeping is to actually go out and be with all these flying insects,” she said. “You get into the zone and it’s peaceful to me, and it’s relaxing. I know it doesn’t sound like it would be.” Her enthusiasm and the new apiary motivated Lyman Woods Manager of Natural Resources and Interpretive Services Shannon Forsythe to begin beekeeping at home this year for the first time. “I studied ecology,” she said. “I guess learning about social insects and their systems is pretty fascinating. They have some interesting behaviors, and how the colony works together is pretty fascinating. And the honey doesn’t hurt, either.” The honey harvested by the Park District is strained, but otherwise requires no pasteurizing or other processing. “With grocery store honey, you have to be careful with because you never know what it is,” Forsythe said. “Of course as for all of the food we eat, we should be trying to go for the most natural, simple and closeto-home food, so we know what we’re eating.

The kind of person you can’t leave unsupervised in a gourmet cheese section for longer than five minutes without having to go back for the full-sized cart. So while the gourmet burgers at DMK Burger Bar are the main attraction, I couldn’t help but note the excellence of the cheese and everything else sitting on top of the beef or bison patties. I met a friend at the Lombard location of the Chicago favorite after work last week, settled onto a bar stool, and immediately wanted pretty much every burger offered. DMK’s menu is deceptively simple at first glance: 14 numbered burgers on the left – no names, just ingredients – and a list of sides and appetizers on the right. Among the 14 are five that don’t use red meat, and are based on fish, turkey or vegetables. The simple concept belies the fact that once you start reading the fine print, the experience turns into abundant choices. Any of the patties, all made from grass-fed beef, can be substituted with bison for $2 extra. Ravenous customers can add a second patty for $3, or an egg to any burger for $1. It was my first visit to DMK, so I didn’t go crazy with the add-ons. The bartender was quick to bring us our beverages – the third word in DMK Burger Bar is taken seriously. The entire back of the menu is full of craft beer drafts and bottles, and a wall chalkboard lists craft cocktails. After considering one of the day’s two specials, a Cajun burger with fried okra, I made an executive decision to put all my stock in the second burger on the menu: beef patty topped with chili-rubbed onion strings, Amish blue cheese and spicy chipotle ketchup.

Programs on the move
Local schools part of new conference alignments By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Conference realignment has been a buzz topic in college athletics over the past few years, and the Chicago-area high school scene is going through similar changes. The shift is taking place for both public and private schools. Some are moving from long-standing conferences to new territory, both competitively and geographically. Changing to a new conference entails more than just making new schedules and resetting GPS bus routes. Craig Etheridge, boys basketball head coach at Westmont, led the Sentinels from the old Southwest Suburban Conference to the Suburban Prairie Conference to their current place in the Interstate Eight Conference. “It certainly is an adjustment,” Etheridge said. “For me, one of the hardest things was leaving behind all the coaches from the first conference and the working relationships and friendships that go along with competing against each other. The next season, working with a new group of guys, it was different and there definitely was an adjustment period.” With several schools making changes, the conference landscape is going to look much different in the near future.
DVC upheaval
One of the leagues that has seen a major alteration is the DuPage Valley Conference, which has been around since 1975. Lake Park came in from the Upstate Eight Conference while West Chicago moved from the DVC to the UEC beginning with the 2013-14 school year. This fall Glenbard East and West Aurora also move from the DVC to the UEC, leaving the league with just six teams. Glenbard East football coach John Walters downplayed any major adjustment in entering a new league. “There’s really no secrets going into Friday night,” Walters said. “We have an idea of what they’re going to do and we have an idea of what we’re going to do.” Because of a lack of available
Did you know? Facts about schools switching conferences n When Glenbard South left the DuPage Valley Conference for the 1996-97 school year, the Raiders had an enrollment of 1,241 students. The rest of the DVC schools all had an enrollment of more than 2,100 students. In the new Metro Suburban West, the Raiders’ enrollment of 1,274 is third biggest out of six schools and above the league average enrollment of 1,004. n All four Glenbard District 87 high schools are now in different conferences with Glenbard East’s move from the DVC to the Upstate Eight. Glenbard North is still in the DVC, Glenbard West is an original member of the West Suburban Conference and Glenbard South is in the Metro Suburban Conference. n This fall will mark the eighth different combination of conference opponents for Riverside Brookfield
opponents, DVC football teams will play nonconference football games in Week 9 against a DVC team they already played earlier in the season. It’s a bit clunky, but it’s only temporary since Neuqua Valley, Metea Valley and Waubonsie Valley are set to join the DVC for the 2015-16 school year to add more power to an already strong conference.
Metro Suburban mixes it up
Another league undergoing an overhaul is the Metro Suburban Conference. Seven schools – IC Catholic, Wheaton Academy, Aurora Central Catholic, St. Edward, Chicago Christian, Walther Christian and Guerin – joined the MSC from the now disbanded Suburban Christian Conference. The MSC, which will have two divisions, becomes the only football conference with both public
in football since 1997. RB is in the newly formed Metro Suburban West with Aurora Central Catholic, Fenton, IC Catholic, Glenbard South and Wheaton Academy. This is the first time during that period that RB won’t be in the same conference as Elmwood Park. n If Glenbard East had stayed in the DVC, which now consists of Glenbard North, Lake Park, Naperville Central, Naperville North, Wheaton North and Wheaton Warrenville South, the Rams would have had to fight history on the football field. The Rams haven’t won a football game against any of those schools since 2003. n This is the second straight year West Chicago will have a new look to its schedule in most sports. The Wildcats joined the Upstate Eight Valley last school year and shift over to the Upstate Eight River starting this fall, where they will face seven new conference foes.
and private schools in the Chicago area. Timothy Christian and Illiana Christian were already members of the league, but neither fields a football team. Mixed conferences exist around the state with Boylan Catholic (Rockford), Althoff Catholic (Belleville) and Sacred-Heart Griffin (Springfield) competing against public schools. “I don’t think it changes much,” IC Catholic athletic director Tom Schergen said of switching. “It just changes our schedule and teams we’re playing. From a geography standpoint it changes our schedule. We’re in the West division where everyone is right around us.” In the MSC West, IC will play against former SCC foes ACC and Wheaton Academy along with public schools Riverside Brookfield, Glenbard South and Fenton. This is the first time IC will be in a confer-
ence with public schools, but Schergen noted that IC previously played most of the teams in the MSC in non-conference games so a working relationship already existed. “Maybe it’s possibly the first time we play RB in things, but we’ve played Ridgewood and Elmwood Park before,” Schergen said. “Even the private schools, Illiana and Timothy, we’ve played in things, so it’s not all new to us.” The Knights also get a more extended pairing with Timothy Christian. The two Elmhurst schools already scheduled each other in non-conference games in numerous sports along with being paired together for just about every IHSA postseason regional. RB boys basketball coach Tom McCloskey, who tries to schedule the Bulldogs against top competition regularly, welcomed the new competition. “I think the new conference will be tougher,” McCloskey said. “Some tougher schools with great basketball traditions. It’s just a new situation.” He doesn’t believe playing with more private schools will change the dynamic of the league. “I didn’t think that was a much of a factor at all,” McCloskey said. “Some of the schools, Wheaton Academy and the others, have strong basketball traditions and it’s a priority at their school.”
New-look Catholic league
The remaining SCC schools, including Montini and St. Francis, were left looking for a new home. Marian Central Catholic joined the East Suburban Catholic Conference and the rest joined the Chicago Catholic League for just football and boys soccer this year. In 2015, all of the boys sports will be members of the CCL while the girls sports will be joining the GCAC. “To me personally, it is absolute excitement,” St. Francis athletic director Dan Hardwick said about the conference changes over the next two years. “Both of these leagues have been bending over backwards for us, that is the best way to put it. They’ve been so accommodating and they’ve been so excited to get us in their leagues. “It’s going to be a challenge but we are relishing the challenge. That is all part of the excitement.”

Sports championships by the numbers
ADs weigh in
First-year Glenbard South athletic director Tim Carlson has a unique perspective on the issue, having spent 12 years working at private schools, including 10 as an AD at St. Viator and Guerin. “We are certainly right at the beginning stages and we don’t have any of the details,” he said. “But in all honestly, do I think this is the answer to the problem? No. There is something to be said about playing everybody and challenging yourself and playing programs that are strong. It forces you to raise your level of play a little bit.” His biggest concern is what might happen to the Metro Suburban Conference, of which the Raiders are a member, if such a proposal passes. The league is expanding to 14 schools this year and includes both public and private institutions. “From the Metro Suburban Conference perspective, we have a private and public mix,” Carlson said. “Talking with John Treiber (former Glenbard South AD) and talking to some other ADs, what makes the MSC work is we’ve been able to work through issues and do it collaboratively. “If something like this happens, what would it mean for the Metro Suburban? Does it do damage to the conference? It’s a tough sell. We are in a unique position and so much work has been put in by these ADs, certainly not by me, I’m new, but especially John Treiber. I’d hate to see that crumble.” A few other conferences in the state – such as the Central State Eight (with Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin), the Northern Illinois Conference (with Rockford Boylan), the Western Big Six (with Rock Island Alleman) and the South Seven Conference (with Belleville Althoff) – also mix public and nonboundary schools but not to the extent of the MSC. Benet and Nazareth are two area schools that compete in East Suburban Catholic Conference, which is comprised en-

Benet’s Sean O’Mara holds up the Class 4A state runner-up trophy the Redwings earned last season. A proposal being worked on by officials in the West Suburban Conference would separate public and nonboundary schools in the postseason. tirely of private schools. Benet AD Gary Goforth believes the latest proposal stems from the success factor issue. Already competing in the larger classes in the playoffs (7A for football, 4A for softball, basketball and volleyball), the Redwings wouldn’t be greatly affected by the success factor. Goforth didn’t want to talk
specifics until reading the proposal, but he believes a complete separation isn’t necessarily the best solution. “If it would force the private and nonboundary schools out of the IHSA, I think that would be a detriment to high school athletics,” he said. “We enjoy playing the public schools around us.”
Coaches’ perspective
Tom McCloskey also has been on both sides of the debate, having been a boys basketball coach at Montini (head coach) and Nazareth (assistant) before his current head coaching gig at Riverside Brookfield. “I kind of like to think I was the same coach at Montini and Riverside Brookfield,” he said.
“I believe in all the things that we’re doing. My approach has almost been the exact same. It’s basketball. It’s getting kids to love playing and getting a program together. It’s not really much different. “But I do see both sides of it, obviously private schools have an advantage as far as getting kids outside of certain boundaries.” If the split were to occur, it would drastically change the playoff landscape for local small schools like Lisle and Westmont. Those two schools typically mix with private schools like IC Catholic, Timothy Christian, Aurora Christian, Walther Christian and St. Edward in the postseason. “I’m torn because I get along with all those guys and they have good teams and good programs,” Westmont boys basketball coach Craig Etheridge said of his private school brethren. “Part of me is loyal to the concept of playing the same teams, but I’ve also lost kids to Timothy Christian, Nazareth and Montini. I’m curious to see how it plays out on both sides.” Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team was knocked out of the playoffs by Benet in 2012. The Raiders and Redwings are typically placed in the same sectional in the playoffs, and this past season Benet won the sectional and went on to play for a state title in Class 4A. “I think when schools that take whoever walks through the door play against schools that are able to recruit a little bit, it’s like comparing apples and oranges,” Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said. “That being said, we’ll play anybody anywhere. All that stuff is out of my control. I’m just trying to get our kids ready to play.”
