Q&A

Mayor talks economic development, athletic center

By KRISTIN PEDICINI kpedicini@shawmedia.com

What did 2013 mean for Woodridge?

There’s been a lot of expansion in Woodridge … I’m so happy for each business that’s getting started or has already opened ... So many positive things happened and we also launched a new website.

Can you expand on those achievements?

We lost Sports Authority, but Hobby Lobby is going in and Panera. The Shop Local campaign should always be at the forefront. It’s huge for me that we always look for ways to bring in new businesses ...

The village’s role in business is to be great partners. We need to make sure we’re supporting new businesses.

How has your tenure in office been so far?

It’s been great. There have

8YOUR WEEKEND FORECAST

been a lot of opportunities, and even challenges, but I still look at those as opportunities … I’ve had a lot to learn but thankfully my experiences really helped me hit the ground running. We had successful interview processes for the trustee positions and we were able to fill every commission position. I was so thankful for the process. It was a lot of hours and in the end we got people who are dedicated to Woodridge.

One thing that’s on the top of my list is working with businesses and hopefully expanding on the businesses ... For 2014 we’re going to have Business Before Hours at the village. It’s a great opportunity to invite new businesses.

We want to help re-energize and really try to go to the next level and deliver every service we can to our residents and business owners. We need to be talking to our residents and businesses, maybe going into

What goals do you have for 2014?

DOWNERS GROVE – Gov. Pat Quinn joined retired astronaut Capt. James A. Lovell, Jr. for a reenactment of Lovell’s famous 1968 “Christmas Eve Broadcast to Earth” on Monday, and the two got a little help from Downers Grove North High School.

DGN student Mary Doro and the father of student Anne Wagner joined the governor and astronaut in voicing the reenactment in front of Lovell’s Apollo 8 capsule at the Museum of Science and Industry.

Doro and Wagner were called the “heroes of Downers Grove North” by the governor on Oct. 15, the day Quinn pronounced as “Downers Grove North High School Day in Illinois” in honor of Anne Wagner’s bravery and her classmates’ passion to honor her.

At the re-enactment, the

During the reenactment, Doro read the part of Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders, and Anne Wagner’s father read the role of Commander Frank Borman.

Lovell – who has family ties in Illinois – has joined Quinn in the past to promote the Illinois Military Family Relief Fund.

Ask Dr. Webster

Q: Can you offer any tips on floss and flossing?

A: There are a few factors you should be aware of when selecting and using the floss that’s right for you. For the most part, deciding whether to use waxed, unwaxed, flavored or plain floss is a matter of personal preference. Floss is meant as a supplement to--not a replacement for-- your toothbrush. It lets you get into those spaces the brush’s bristles can’t reach. One thing to keep in mind when buying, though, is that if your teeth are set very close together, you’re better off with waxed floss. It is less likely to snag and fray in the narrow space.

Whichever type you choose, the method for using floss to its greatest effect remains the same: wind the ends of a piece of floss around your forefingers and pull it taut. Slip the floss between teeth and pull it down to the gum line. Pull the floss into a “C” shape and get it between the tooth and the gum. Then, pressing against the tooth, pull the floss up-or down, depending on which teeth you’re cleaning. You are trying to remove the plaque on the side of the teeth, an area where a brush is less effective. Don’t saw the floss back and forth. Keep unwinding the floss a bit as you go from tooth to tooth so that you are always using a clean section. Dental floss, by the way, has been on the market since 1882. Talk with your dentist about its effective use.

businesses and asking, ‘What do you think?’... The more people we reach and hear from, the better Woodridge will be. Those are things I think the residents want to see.

What can residents look forward to in 2014?

We will be able to give [the Janes Plaza shopping center]

to the park district so they’re able to build the athletic recreation center. It’s going to provide services that our community needs that we don’t have currently. Especially for the park district, to offer to the residents, that was the number one request from residents. It’s a gateway to Woodridge that right now needed something to blossom down off of Janes Avenue and 83rd Street. It’s a great partnership for the village and park district.

Two of Illinois’ biggest and most controversial laws passed in 2013 – concealed carry permits and medicinal marijuana – officially take effect Jan. 1.

However, their impact won’t be seen for months, according to government agencies.

Illinois State Police will accept online applications to carry a concealed handgun starting Jan. 5 and recently announced the acceptance of paper applications beginning July 1.

More than 2,000 registered concealed carry instructors are already listed on the State Police website, said spokesperson Monique Bond, but the first permits won’t be issued until early April.

“It could be sooner, but we are going to use the full 90 days to give us enough time to make sure we do it right,” Bond said.

In order to obtain a standard five year concealed carry permit, Illinois residents must already have a Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card, pay a $150 fee, submit to a background check and undergo 16 hours of firearm training with a certified instructor.

Applications will be processed by State Police, which will issue or deny the card within 90 days. Denied applications will be reviewed by the governor-appointed Concealed Carry Licensing Board.

For similar reasons, medicinal marijuana will not be accessible until well past Jan. 1. Not only will there be a time lapse to process applications for distribution and cultivation centers, said Illinois Department of Public Health spokesperson Melaney Arnold, but government agencies are still determining the specifics of the law’s implementation.

“I would like to give a time frame, but there are so many moving pieces,” Arnold said.

“We’re working as quickly as we can to get it out.”

Seeking a computer for every student Food, water, shelter. We all rely on these basic necessities, but in this day and age we might add one more to the list: Technology.

Our society expects immediate and uninterrupted access to digital information. It’s estimated that over two billion people use the Internet, performing 31 billion searches on Google every month. And with the exponential growth in mobile device use (over half of U.S. adults now own a smartphone), all of us are accessing more content and are communicating more frequently than ever before.

These stats reinforce the COMMUNITY fact that at District 99, we VOICE must continue to adapt in Rod order to make meaningful, Russeau transformational use of technology at our schools.

In 2011, we made a major infrastructure upgrade and installed wireless access across the district. Then in 2012, we deployed mobile computers to all teachers and established ourselves as a “Google Apps for Education” district.

The stage is set to challenge ourselves for the next logical step: Moving to 1:1 computing. In general, 1:1 means providing each student with a mobile computing device and access to digital tools and curriculum materials. Significant numbers of districts across the country are implementing 1:1 programs, and countless others are determining how to move forward.

We are committed to moving forward with 1:1 at District 99. In order for it to be successful, however, we feel it must be completely focused on curricular goals and desired learning outcomes. Student learning plays the starring role at District 99, and it always will. Technology is a mere supporting character, and to be used to transform good teaching into something even better for our students.

The next few months will be busy ones as we develop our vision for the role technology plays in student learning. We’ll first define what 1:1 means for us, and the corresponding instructional impact, opportunities and expectations. We’ll talk with our students, teachers, parents and other districts to help guide our planning efforts. After creating a vision, we’ll drill down to more specifics, such as our infrastructure and organizational readiness and which mobile devices offer the best solution in terms of performance, reliability and cost.

We at District 99 have always made sure that our teachers have the resources they need to teach and that our students have the resources they need to learn. Technology is and will remain one of those.

Rod Russeau is the director of technology at District 99, which includes North and South high schools.

QUESTION: What do you most look forward to in winter after the holiday season? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.

8LETTERS Children’s museum thankful for volunteers To the Editor: Volunteers are one of our nation’s most valuable resources! Every day millions of caring people enrich their communities by helping to educate our children and prepare them for the future.

DuPage Children’s Museum is all about nurturing a new generation of creative problem solvers. Our volunteers are helping to build critical thinking skills in young children to better prepare them for the future. It’s hard to imagine where DuPage Children’s Museum would be without the aid and dedication of these volunteers.

During this season, we would like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to the over 800 volunteers who make a difference every day in our organization and community!

As a nonprofit organization, we rely heavily on our volunteers to help us achieve our ambitious goals. Without volunteer support, it would be impossible for the museum to accomplish our mission of stimulating curiosity, creativity, and problem solving in young children.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our volunteers for the time, energy and passion they share with the museum.

This past year has been an exceptional time for the museum – thanks in great part to the involvement of our volunteers.

8SOUND OFF Response to Obama bashing This is for the caller about the [Nelson] Mandela letter who was upset with the newspaper because they print [Barack] Obama bashing. Well, Obama is a liar. If you don’t have anything more as a defense than Bush and Cheney, which was six years ago, then you have no defense at all. Move on. Here is my red line. I am drawing it.

Don’t cross it. But never mind, Obama moves his red line all the time anyway.

Well, you make an interesting argument that teens need a break, but I don’t agree with you. Sure you think I may sound like someone’s parent, but I am not. I am 33 and I was in your

shoes at one point. You should appreciate your parents keeping you busy because work builds character and makes you a responsible individual. It also prepares you for the future. Do you really think when you’re in the working world you will get a Christmas vacation? Sure you might if you have paid time off, but some places may not even allow their employees to use that.

Do you think when you graduate high school and college, life will give you a break? No way, it’s like a top 40 radio station – the hits just keep coming and by not getting a break now, you will be prepared for life when it won’t give you a break. The biggest positive to any parents keeping their teens busy is that they won’t do anything stupid such as drugs, alcohol or stealing Christmas decorations from people. If you want a break from chores around the house, consider doing some charity work, now is the time people are in need.

officer gets,” he said.

Colleen Daley, executive director for the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and an opponent of the bill, said while the law has some positives, such as increased background checks, extensive training requirements and prohibited locations, its effect is unclear. She expects to see lawsuits challenge the law, but said first, people need to be educated.

“People are going to be around others who are carrying legal, loaded guns,” she said. “Some are deeply concerned, some aren’t, but the average citizen should

be aware that something like this is happening.”

Dr. Eldon Trame, president of the Illinois State Medical Society, said many of the more than 12,000 current and retired doctors in his organization were taking a “wait and see” attitude toward medicinal marijuana and that members were neither encouraged nor discouraged from prescribing it.

“Some physicians are very much in favor of the law and some are very much not in favor of the law,” he said. “But I, at least, will certainly have an open eye and open mind to this.”

Water bill out of control The water bills from [Downers Grove] are out of control.

The community needs to get together in protest. We are a family of two. The bill is more than $100 for two months. How are people making it? Enough is enough. Come on people, let’s do something about it. Appears everyone has the money and no big deal?

Attention: Fellow Dog Lover Happy New Year From Belle Aire Kennels & Grooming!

It’s been a year now that I have been running our ad for a Free Grooming and we have had 100’s and 100’s of satisfied returning customers.

Recently I was checking in with one of our new regulars, and she told me something that was really surprising. She told me she didn’t believe the Free Grooming was for real at first or there was some kind of catch somewhere. (Are you thinking that?)

And luckily they finally gave us a call because a friend of theirs told them the free groom was for real. They had just tried us out months earlier and they were very happy with our service.

I get it…. in a world of bait and switch and under-delivering and over promising I can understand their caution and disbelief.

Sometimes it takes a friend to give you the all clear it’s safe to give it a try.

recommend for your dog’s health and well-being keep using your regular groomer.

SOOOO…If you have a dog that needs to be styled and groomed I invite you to give us a call to receive your free grooming.

With that said we have put in place a couple of conditions….

CALL 630-969-3145 we only have a few spots available a week.

We have found that people who live close to us come back to us (I know its rocket science). What I mean is if you’re looking for a free ride please go elsewhere…don’t call us from Joliet (we actually had someone from Florida request a free groom as well)…we want to become your trusted and regular groomer so you can have a great looking dog all the time.

If you don’t have a dog you can tell a friend about this Free Groom too.

I certainly would be very thankful if you passed on our name.

Our number again is: 630-969-3145 I will let you go now…I wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

Also if your dog is really old and only gets groomed twice a year please use you regular groomer…. it is very stressful for an older dog to be groomed by a new person. We

Maybe I’ll see you some time.

Restaurant reviews

Spend an evening in South America at Rio’s ADDISON – One of the joys of living in this melting pot of a nation is that everyone comes here, and they bring their delicacies with them.

I love American, Italian, Mexican, Thai and Japanese cuisine, along with several other varieties I’ve enjoyed over the years. But every once in a while, it’s fun to branch out by tasting something new.

And something new is exactly what I found at Rio’s Fine South American Cuisine in Addison. Billed as a Peruvian restaurant on various websites, Rio’s also has delicacies from Argentina and Brazil that are sure to tempt your taste buds.

When you first walk in, you’re greeted by a bar area that’s tasteful and hip, but not particularly ethnic. You could meet business clients for drinks here and they wouldn’t necessarily even recall that it was a South American establishment – unless they look closely at the wine list, which is filled with selections from all over the continent.

Enter the dining area, though, and you’ll find yourself in a scene that’s both elegant and evocative of the dishes you’re about to sample.

A massive mural across the back wall combines the famous Christ the Redeemer statue that overlooks Rio de Janeiro in Brazil with the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru. Other small decor touches give hints of South America without overwhelming the room and making it kitschy.

I stopped by Rio’s on a recent evening with a dining companion, and I started right off with an authentic drink from south of the equator – a Dona Paula Sauvignon Blanc from Argentina, which the wine list describes as “bright, crisp, tart green apple skin, lime zest, guava, and grapefruit with a touch of minerality.” It proved to be a terrific accompaniment to the dishes that followed.

We started with the Peruvian Sampler, wanting to

The sampler includes the ceviche de pescado (a Peruvian specialty), a tamale, anticucho de la pollo (chicken skewer), and papa a la huancaina (a savory sauce over boiled potatoes).

I most enjoyed the flavorful

skewer, while my companion was a big fan of the tamale.

When selecting an entree, I was immediately taken by the bright pictures of every dish on the menu. One item, the Pollo Enrollado, grabbed my attention right away. It fea-

spinach and cheese. The chicken is rolled in “panko” and topped with Algarrobina sauce. I expected something savory and was pleasantly surprised that it was more complex than that.

“It’s got a sweetness to it,” my dining companion

remarked happily after trying a bite.

My companion’s dish was even better, the Tallarin Verde con Churrasco. It included a generous helping of perfectly seasoned steak alongside fettucine mixed with Peruvian pesto (spinach, basil, white cheese, walnuts and olive oil). The steak and the pasta both tasted great on their own, but together the flavors were perfectly paired.

We both really wanted dessert – interesting items included churros filled with caramel and hot chocolate dipping sauce, and ice cream made with Andean Lucuma fruit – but we were both too stuffed to properly enjoy it.

That just means that next time I’ll have to – regretfully – forgo the Peruvian Sampler to save some room to try some exotic ice cream.

YEAR OF THE CHAMPION

South volleyball, Doll’s state medal part of trophy haul

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com As the calendar flips to 2014, what better time than to reflect on some of the best performances put forth by local high school athletes in 2013. Downers Grove South won boys volleyball, several Downers Grove North swimmers were winners and even more teams and athletes made their marks with top finishes in their state competitions.

School: Downers Grove South Sport: Boys volleyball Place: State champs State run: The Mustangs were pushed to the brink with four consecutive three-game postseason matches including against Deerfield in the state quarterfinal. After powering through in those challenging contests, two-set wins over St. Charles North and Lincoln-Way North looked relatively easy. South’s balanced attack fueled its 25-18, 25-20 win in the championship match.

In the final, Nick Timreck had 11 kills and four blocks. Mike Schmitt knocked down 10 kills, and Will Tischler added seven.

Jordan Pawlicki piloted the offense with 29 assists. David DeMarco collected 14 digs.

Quote: “This is unbelievable.

Words can’t describe what happened these past few days,” said Chris Widdel. “I was hanging out with Nick Timreck last night and we were just smiling.

We couldn’t do anything else.”

Name: Gabby Sims, Downers Grove North Sport: Girls swimming, 100-yard freestyle Place: State champ State run: Sims posted stellar times all season long, but she most definitely saved her best for last. A time of 50.98 in a state prelim race sent her on to the finals, where she trimmed close

It was her second consecutive 100 freestyle state title and her third all-state finish in the event (she was second as a freshman in 2010).

backstroke, but a nice consolation prize was winning the state title by nearly one second. Sims clocked a 53.93 to win the title.

This year’s state meet marked Sims’ fourth all-state finish in the event. She won as a sophomore in 2011 and was second in 2010 and 2012.

Number to know: 0.79 – Winning margin for the Trojans over runner-up Fenwick (1:43.01).

School: Downers Grove North Sport: Girls swimming, 400yard freestyle relay Place: State champs State run: The final race at the state meet provided some drama as it was a tight three-team race for the title between DGN, Fenwick and Mundelein. The Trojans’ relay – Emily Albrecht, freshman Lindsay Ma-

thys, Maddy Sims and Gabby Sims – trailed early in the race, but battled back and won the state title with a time of 3:25.16, more than a second ahead of second place Fenwick (3:26.50) and Mundelein (3:26.61).

Quote: “It was such a great way to end the meet and the season,” Gabby Sims said. “We fell behind in the race, but had a strong comeback and were able to win the relay.”

Name: Tim Doll, Westmont Sport: Boys track, 400-meter dash

Place: Second in Class 1A State run: A standout performer for the Sentinels during both the indoor and outdoor seasons, Doll continued that trend in the postseason. The junior won sectional titles in the both the 200- and 400-meter dashes and also qualified for the state meet in the 100 dash. At the state meet, he won his heat of the 400 and then narrowly finished second in the finals with a time of 49.87.

Quote: “I knew if I sat back and ran the race I usually run, which is to hold back the first 200 and then blow past everybody the final 200, I wouldn’t have a chance,” Tim Doll said.

“So I pushed myself real hard the first 200 and then wished for the best the rest of the way.”

Marc Mathy was top 50, Jeremy Craven was top 70, and Jared Spilky placed 77th to round out North’s scoring quintet.

Quote: “We were fortunate that the team came together at the opportune time,” head coach John Sipple said. “This season, we ran our best seven guys in four races: Conference, regionals, sectionals and state.”

Name: Odell McFarland, Downers Grove South Sport: Boys track, 200-meter dash Place: Second in Class 3A State run: McFarland was fast throughout his senior season and kept it up in the postseason. Posting times of 21.71 and 21.82, respectively, he won a sectional title and a state prelim race. In the state finals, he clocked a time of 21.89 and narrowly finished second in the state.

Name: Zack Smith, Downers Grove North Sport: Cross country Place: Third in Class 3A State run: In 2012, Smith had a solid showing as he finished eighth in the state. He did even better as a senior, finishing third in the state this fall with a time of 14:23. Smith’s time in the state finals was his best of the postseason; he won the regional and sectional meets with identical times of 14:36. In May, Smith was also third in the state in the 1,600-meter run at the Class 3A track and field finals with a time of 4:14.49 that was over four seconds better than his sectional meet time.

Quote: “I ran really well and I think I gave it my all,” Zack Smith said. “Taking third in a competitive state like Illinois is no easy task, so I take a lot of pride in my accomplishment.

But, most importantly, I did my job to help the team win a trophy. Although it’s an individual performance, the ultimate goal is to help the team

Cummings had a tough semifinal draw at state against Belleville West’s Mech Spraggins. Cummings had

topped Spraggins during the regular season, but lost the state semi. He responded with a win in wrestleback semifinal and went on to finish fourth with a season record of 46-3.

Quote: “I tried to take home a state title,” Cullen Cummings said. “It didn’t end up the way I wanted, but I’m kind of happy with how I ended my career.”

Bears face daunting task for 2014 season Hub Arkush

Marc Trestman scored well in many areas in his first season as Bears head coach, specifically in overseeing the dramatic improvement of one of the league’s weakest offenses and a significant thawing of the icy relationship Lovie Smith had with the Bears’ faithful.

An objective look at the Bears’ 2013 season, however, shows the team also took some steps backward.

Smith was fired for going 10-6 in his ninth year as the head coach but failing to make the playoffs.

Is it reasonable to laud Trestman for going 8 -8 and also failing to make the playoffs after getting blown out in Week 16 by the Eagles and then losing at home on the last day of the season to the Packers when one win would have

clinched the division title?

While Trestman should be applauded for the almost surreal growth of Josh McCown, upgrades to Jay Cutler and significant gains on offense, as the boss, he also has to shoulder the weight for the descent of one of the league’s better defenses under Smith to one of the worst in the NFL. Where does general manager Phil Emery fit in all of this?

Irrespective of what Brian Urlacher may have had left, the decision to not bring him back doesn’t look good.

Would it be different if D.J. Williams and Lance Briggs had stayed healthy?

Perhaps, but the fact is the last really good game the Bears’ defense had was against Seattle in 2012 – until the final minutes when Urlacher’s season ended with a hamstring injury.

Urlacher is irrelevant, though, because his tank was near empty, and the real problem is where does the defense go from here?

Opening day starters Corey Wootton, Henry Melton, Williams, James

Masterbrand Cabinetry

Anderson, Tim Jennings, Major Wright and Charles Tillman are free agents, as is recent addition Jeremiah Ratliff.

Youngsters Chris Conte, Shea McClellin, Jonathan Bostic and Khaseem Greene have been disappointing, and that’s probably too kind to Conte and McClellin.

Julius Peppers had his worst year as a pro and appears to have lost something, and counting on Briggs to stay healthy in his mid-30s is a crapshoot.

There isn’t a single player to rebuild the “D” around.

Remember that as impressive as the offensive turnaround and the rebuilding of the offensive line were, Cutler, McCown, Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall were in place for Trestman to build around.

It’s also impossible to ignore that while Trestman’s earned our trust as a man who knows offense, Cutler, McCown, Matt Slauson and Roberto Garza are free agents, and Emery has a tough call to make on Cutler.

Lost in the tremendous upward

and downward mobility of the offense and defense has been the fact that Joe DeCamillis’ special teams suffered a precipitous drop from where they were under Dave Toub, and Devin Hester also is a free agent after eight years with the Bears.

Here is one more disturbing truth about these 2013 Bears: The winning percentage of their 16 opponents was .465, giving them the softest schedule of the six teams that finished 8-8. The only good news is that earns them the 14th pick in the first round of the 2014 draft when they could have picked as low as 19th, where the Dolphins (8-8) stand.

A bit more alarming is the fact that of the 13 teams with worse records than them, only the Lions played an easier schedule.

Once the balance sheet is laid bare in front of us, it is hard to call this season a success or these Bears anything more than somewhat below average.

The trip into this offseason is as paved with uncertainty as any we’ve seen in a number of years.

In the end, Cutler is Cutler ANALYSIS

sports@nwherald.com

He is who he is.

In the first half, his offense showed the bad as it stalled on four three-and-outs, although it also showed the good.

On his second drive, an eight-play, 80-yard series, Cutler stormed downfield, completing three passes. He topped it off with a 4-yard throw to running back Matt Forte through the cold, misty air, giving his team a 7-0 lead and its only points of the first half.

Cutler couldn’t control much of what happened after that, though.

He couldn’t control Alshon Jeffery fumbling a precise pass in the second quarter, setting up a Green Bay field goal.

He couldn’t control that

A reporter picked at the web, asking about contracts.

“I think we’ll deal with that later in the week,” Cutler said. “Right now, [I’m] kind of living in the moment.”

Another reporter asked him how he thought he did against the Packers.

“We didn’t make enough plays to win,” he said. “That’s what it boiled down to.”

After a question about his hoarse throat – he had a cold – there was silence. No more questions.

“All right,” said Cutler.

“See you guys.”

He hustled from the podium and left the room.

CHICAGO – The tangled web of the Jay Cutler narrative was supposed to be straightened out Sunday.

His last game on contract, a 33-28 thriller won by the Packers, was going to make it clear. Play well, Good Jay, forget your 1-7 record against Green Bay, and all is OK. Play poorly, Bad Jay, throw a few picks, and it’s time to go.

“The speculation is, ‘Let’s see how he does in this kind of stage,’ ” coach Marc Trestman said after the game.

“I thought Jay played well enough for us to win tonight.”

But the web twisted even more during the game as fans and media sought the answer to the beaten question: Who is he – Good Jay or Bad Jay? The answer, though, lies in the question itself.

the defense allowed 20 second-half points, or that he threw the ball 24 times, the fewest he has attempted in a full game since last December’s Bears-Packers matchup.

Those looking for answers won’t find any, as the quarterback quandary may be delayed another year with a franchise tag estimated to be worth more than $16 million.

On Sunday, Cutler was neither the demon slayer nor the utter failure. He was, simply, Jay Cutler. Calm-tempered, scruffy-faced, strong-armed, up-and-down Jay Cutler.

After the game he stood at the podium, wearing gray and black and a tired gaze.

He answered questions about plays and then the postseason.

“I’d love to (come back),” he said before changing the topic. “[Green Bay] controlled the clock well. Early in the
