DOWNERS GROVE – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made a candidate pitch to the DuPage County Republican party Aug. 13 during a luncheon at Carlucci Restaurant in Downers Grove. Walker, who is one of 18 candidates seeking the Republican party’s nomination for Scott Walker president in 2016, spoke during a summer reception hosted by the DuPage County GOP. He started out the speech with a very blunt assessment of why he was there. “I’m Scott Walker. I’m running for president. And I’m asking for your vote,” he told the crowd of nearly 200. Walker’s time as governor has had some controversial moments. He faced – and later won – a recall election a little more than a year after being elected. Walker also signed a right-to-work bill into law earlier this year, allowing workers to opt out of paying union fees. The unemployment rate was growing in Wisconsin, and there was a growing state deficit.

During his speech, Walker touched on many of the Republican talking points: • He mentioned a desire to repeal the Affordable Care Act – more commonly referred to as Obamacare. • He mentioned he wants to reform the tax code and lower the tax burden on taxpayers. “I believe you can spend your money far better than the federal government,” he said. • He said Islamic terrorism is the

Wisconsin governor and GOP presidential candidate Scott Walker appears Aug. 13 at the DuPage County GOP summer reception at Carlucci Restaurant in Downers Grove.
Continued from page 1 Walker, in light of those issues, said he ran for governor because he wanted to make the state a better place for his two sons, Matt and Alex. He said it was “fundamentally unacceptable” that they would grow up in a state that wasn’t as good as the one he grew up in. Walker said he had a similar feeling when he decided to run for president. “Today in America … I see a country that concerns me,” Walker said. He spent a large portion of the speech talking about his accomplishments as governor, including the rightto-work legislation and education reforms, some of which allow parents to enroll their students in any school, regardless of where they live. “Every child in America deserves access to a great education,” Walker said. “We’re going to make that happen going forward.” Walker praised himself for accomplishing things he promised to voters, which he admitted is a rarity in politics. He said doing what was best helped bring Republicans, Democrats and independents together to help the state. “I know if we can do that in a state that was as messed up as Wisconsin was just a mere 5½, six years ago, there is no doubt, with the right leadership in Washington, we can put togeth-

biggest threat to the country’s future, and there needs to be action. “I’d rather take the fight to them than wait for them to take the fight to us,” he said. • He took shots at Democrats – mostly front-runner Hillary Clinton – over her beliefs on growing the economy. Other highlights included Walker saying the country needs to secure the Mexican-American border, fight back against Chinese cyberattacks, create a strong foreign policy stance with Russia and give U.S. troops the resources they need. U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, who introduced Walker at the event, praised Walker’s work ethic in improving Wisconsin. “The state of Wisconsin was a mess when Gov. Walker took over,” Roskam said. Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti, who is from Wheaton, said DuPage County played a big role in helping Illinois elect a Republican governor and likely will have an impact on the 2016 election. “We’re fired up to make it another Republican year,” she said. Darlene Ruscitti, the chairwoman of the DuPage County GOP, said this was the third in their series of hosting Republican presidential candidates. The GOP previously hosted U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rand Paul, R-Kentucky. “We think DuPage County in the state of Illinois is a real important part in winning in 2016,” she said.

The controversial and unprofitable Waterleaf Restaurant at the College of DuPage will close at the end of the month and make way for new culinary programming. The school’s Board of Trustees voted during its Aug. 13 special meeting to close the restaurant effective Aug. 31. The move puts an end to one of the biggest lightning rods for public scorn during the last year, because of $2 million in deficits and reports of expensive trustee meals at the upscale, on-campus restaurant. Board Chairwoman Kathy Hamilton said the move ended “the vain existence of the Waterleaf restaurant, a monument for disrespecting taxpayers and disregarding students.” The restaurant will close its doors just a month short of its fourth birthday after Trustee Charles Bernstein led a committee to examine the future of the restaurant earlier this summer. The board also received several staff presentations on how to utilize the space should the restaurant close. Bernstein said the current setup – where students staff the front and back of the restaurant Monday and Tuesday nights and it operates as a professional restaurant the rest of the week – served no educational function. At a June 25 board meeting, Bernstein said his investigation came to the conclusion that the professional aspect came at the behest of President Robert Breuder, who is now on administrative leave. The 5-1 vote to close the restaurant, with Trustee Joe Wozniak voting against and Trustee Erin Birt absent, means 19 of the remaining employees would each receive a total severance package of $49,232. Two more resigned effective Sunday, according to board
documents, but will not receive severance because they left for other opportunities. The closure also provides some relief to the college’s budget, as the Waterleaf lost more than a half million dollars each year it was open – although Bernstein said that number may have exceeded $3 million during its lifetime. By closing the restaurant, the school also paved the way for college faculty to take over the space for additional lab space. Dean for Business and Technology Donna Stewart said the school would move at least one additional course into the space, as well as move several existing courses there as soon as next term. From there, faculty would review the entire culinary and hospitality curricula and add courses needed to prepare the school’s students for jobs in the real world. Wozniak credited his no vote to a hope that the school still would be able to have the space run by an outside source several days a week. Vice Chairman Deanne Mazzochi said she had long been concerned about the running of the space as a purely private enterprise, but didn’t discount reopening the restaurant as part of the curriculum at a later date, comparing it to the existing Wheat Cafe. She said the Illinois Community College Act stated that auxiliary services should be mainly directed at students. “The focus of the program will go back to actually educating students,” she said. Faculty Senate President Glenn Hanson said the decision was a fantastic one. “It’s what we have been asking for,” he said. “We wanted more opportunities for students to work there, but this is even better.”

Q & A with the Hearing Doctor 7 Myths You Need to Know
Q: What are some of the misconceptions
about hearing aids?
A: Here are seven myths that can prevent you
from seeking professional help to treat hearing loss.
Myth #1: Hearing aids make people look old. Most hearing aids today are discreet, right down Dr. Terri Lightbody to the “invisible” style and (630) 580-5777 typically go unnoticed by others. More importantly, when a person constantly says “Hmmm?” “What?”, that makes a person look old. Myth #2: Hearing aids whistle and make noise. Feedback (whistling) is the thing of the past as most digital hearing aids have feedback cancellation algorithms while at the same time, have significantly increased power levels of hearing aids. Myth #3: Hearing aids make my voice sound different. Good! I say. The way a person hears with hearing loss isn’t normal hearing. Once new sounds are re-introduced to the auditory system, the brain adjusts to it. Your voice should sound different with hearing aids, which means
speech is clearer.
Battery
Myth #4: Hearing aids are expensive. This misconception arises from only seeing a lump sum amount with a one-time purchase. Hearing aids can range from $1,400 to $3,600 a piece. Cell phone rates average $110 per month, over 5 years amounts to $6,600! Myth #5: Hearing aids can’t help me. No one is beyond help. There are hearing aids designed to fit mild, moderate, severe, or profound losses that can improve your ability to hear and enjoy life more. Myth #6: You can save time and money by buying hearing aids from big box retailers. Buying hearing aids from nonaudiology practices is risky. By working with an audiologist, you get professional care and services to ensure proper diagnosis and hearing aid fitting. You actually pay less in the long run. Myth #7: You can wait until your hearing loss gets worse. Waiting is never the answer. “Putting up” with a hearing problem makes life more difficult for you and your loved ones.
About the author: Dr. Terri Lightbody is a nationally known Audiologist and has her private practice at Danada Professional Center. Dr. Lightbody is the recipient of the 2014 Wheaton Star Award, in recognition of her volunteer and community service work. She is a member of the Wheaton Lions Club, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping those with hearing loss and low vision. She is the forerunner in today’s most advanced hearing devices.

BOYS GOLF PREVIEW
Seniors lead the way for Falcons, Tigers, Spartans and my bet is that his experience will pay off. As the season unfolds we will find out who else will fill those top spots from last year.” A major change this year is the addition of Neuqua Valley, Waubonsie Valley and Metea Valley to the DuPage Valley Conference. “We were already a tough conference but now the DVC is one of the best in the state,” Pribaz said. “Judging by last year’s postseason results and returners, it seems like Neuqua Valley would be the favorite but you can never count out Naperville North. We are excited to play them all and challenge them for that top spot.”
By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com The high school boys golf season has teed off and players and teams have the goal of reaching the Bloomington-Normal area for the state tournaments in October. Here’s the outlook for several area schools, including Wheaton North and Wheaton Warrenville South.

The Spartans bring back their top two scorers from state in Jonathan Nocek, who came in 11th individually, and Connor Buckley, who placed 40th. “I am very excited for this season,” coach Greg Baresel said. “We have a good core of seniors returning from our state team and we should compete well at conference and during the state series.” One major change for St. Francis this fall is the Spartans are competing in the Chicago Catholic League. “This will be new territory for us,” Baresel said. “We are looking to be competitive and compete for a conference championship.”

bring back their top three scorers at state – Hailey Farmer, Lauren Isenhart and Meredith Bult – along with state tourney players Chrislyn Herring and Brooke Nickell. “We only lost one of our top six so I am excited to see what they accomplish this year,” coach Haley Martin said. “We would really like to make it to state again and finish higher than we did last year.”

Top players NAME Annalee Dannegger Priya Desai Emma Field Outlook: St. Francis is coming off a Julia Hauenstein season in which it finished sixth at the Sarah Hauenstein Class AA Wheaton Academy regional tournament.

WWS, St. Francis girls look toward state tournament

Outlook: On one hand, Wheaton Warrenville South returns five of its top six golfers from a team that finished fourth in Class AA last fall. On the other hand, the golfer lost from that group is Kelly Anderson, a four-year state qualifier who tied for 15th individually last year and is continuing her career at Northern Illinois University. “It’s going to be difficult to replace Kelly Anderson to graduation,” coach Art Tang said. “She’s been our number one player for the last two years. But after last year’s finish, the rest of the girls gained plenty of experience and should be ready to go this fall.” Sarah Hauenstein placed 18th at state as a freshman, Annalee Dannegger was 53rd, Priya Desai came in 67th and Emma Field and Julia Hauenstein were 84th and 101st, respectively. South hopes to build on that solid foundation this season. “Some of our goals this season would be to make it downstate as a team and win the DVC,” Tang said.
