Group that beat re-districting receives funds from traditional Dems A popular ballot initiative to remove politicians from the political mapmaking process that was supported by hundreds of thousands of signatures and millions of dollars in donations was successfully shot down by group that reported $25,000 in funding sources this week. The group, called The People’s Map, reported donors consisting entirely of labor unions and law firms, a traditional support base for Illinois’ Democratic Party, led by House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. Madigan criticized the Independent Maps ballot initiative, saying it violated the voting rights of minorities in the state. In Illinois, the law gives political map-drawing power to the General Assembly. Prior to Oct. 18, the group had reported no donations or expenditures with the Illinois State Board of Elections. State law requires any donations of more than $1,000 to be reported within five business days — two days if the deposit occurs within 30 days of an election. The group reported 20 donations of $1,000 and $2,000 increments. “This group has always been a mystery,” Independent Maps spokesman Jim Bray said. “They don’t have a website. They don’t have a phone number that works. Until recently, they haven’t disclosed their contributors.” Bray said the disclosure indicates who really benefits from the status quo. “These are the people and the organizations that don’t want to see change and want things Addison Trick or Treat hours Oct. 31 from 3-7 p.m. Within three blocks of your home Villa Park Trick or Treat hours Oct. 31 from 3-7 p.m.

to stay just the way they are,” Bray said. The Support Independent Maps political action committee had gathered more than a half a million signatures and raised millions of dollars in an effort to give redistricting power to an independent 11-member panel aimed at maximizing public input. While it was supported by members of both parties, the Independent Maps received funds from donors allied with Gov. Bruce Rauner, who advocated for the amendment. People’s Map criticized Independent Maps in an August letter calling the measure “a political ploy to hurt middle-class families and minorities in Illinois,” and saying the measure would help Rauner and his “extreme agenda.” Independent Maps still enjoys popular support today. A poll by Southern Illinois University’s Paul Simon Public Policy Institute showed 72 percent of voters polled supported the ballot initiative. Trial lawyer Michael Kasper, the go-to election lawyer for Madigan and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, challenged the ballot initiative in court. Instead of arguing that the proposed Constitutional amendment violated the voting rights of Illinois’ minorities, Kasper argued that the proposal improperly gave power to the state’s auditor general, something he argued ballot initiatives cannot do. Along political lines, the Illinois Supreme Court voted against the measure in August, saying it went beyond

District 2 student sleuths solve crime with science

Eighth grade science teacher Maureen O’Rourke helps students as they begin to graph the data they collected during a CSI-style lab. The lab helped students hone their engineering and design skills. All of these skills are part of the NextGen science standards, which Illinois adopted in 2014. “He had some guts.” That’s how one 8th grade student described Charlie, the victim of a fictional robbery, who wounded a would-be robber with a lamp—prompting students in Blackhawk Middle School’s 8th grade science classes to analyze the “blood splatters” he left behind. Students used dyed water and eyedroppers to simulate blood splatters, dropping the water from different heights to see how it affected the shape and size of the splatter. Once the data was collected, students were shown evidence from the scene of the crime and compared those splatters to their own data to determine where on his body the robber was wounded and solve the crime.

Supreme Court Justice Robert Thomas, a Republican, said that relevant parts of the Illinois Constitution should bear an “out of service sign,” because the ruling makes it very difficult for any citizen-led referendum to make it on the ballot.

Prescription burns to benefit Forest Preserve habitats Specially trained crews to carry out burns In coming weeks, specially trained crews from the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County will be conducting prescription burns at select sites in the county’s preserves. The district has used this deliberately set, controlled, natural-resource management tool for more

than 35 years to restore native prairies, wetlands and woodlands. Prescription burns generally take place in late fall after the season’s vegetation has died and in early spring before new vegetation emerges. Because safety depends on the weather and other factors, the dis-

watch a video featuring the District’s prescription burn crews in action. “Prescription burns help us keep our forest preserves healthy for native prairies, wetlands and woodlands,” said Forest Preserve District Commissioner Jeff Redick, District 2. Prescription burns are not to be confused with the catastrophic uncontrolled wildfires that occur in the dense coniferous forest of the West,

where an overabundance of flammable materials often enables fires to burn at extremely high temperatures and spread uncontrollably from treetop to treetop. “We appreciate the public’s cooperation and understanding during our prescription-burn process,” said Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore. For information, call 630-9337200 or visit dupageforest.org.

trict cannot schedule prescription burns in advance. Notifications are mailed out to residents who live near scheduled burn locations, and on the morning of a prescription burn, the district posts signs and notifies local fire departments. Specially trained crews remain on the site throughout the process, which takes place only during daylight hours. If these factors are not present, the public should call 911 because they may be witnessing a wildfire. “Prescription burns help control invasive, exotic plants so desirable native species with deep root systems can thrive,” said Erik Neidy, district director of natural resources. “But fire also balances the relationship between prairie and wooded areas in our natural landscapes, returning a rich biodiversity of habitats.” A more in-depth look at prescription burns is offered at “Introduction to Prescription Burns,” a free all-ages program that will be offered twice from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Nov. 12 and 20 at Churchill Woods in Glen Ellyn. The program will explain the how, when and why of the district’s prescription-burn program and show a burn in progress, weather permitting. Register online or by calling 630-933-7248.

Losing your groceries and other marital adventures

My husband and I recently adopted the exciting habit of team grocery shopping – together. We don’t go for many items at one time; I think that would be too much for our relationship to bear. Our usual list might contain a handful of entries – milk, eggs, bread, pickles. That’s about our limit. We’re still in the rookie league. After decades of shopping solo (me) the prospect of a shopping buddy can be both exciting and terrifying – for both of us. We’re starting things slow. And still, problems ensue. A couple weeks ago we went to get ingredients for homemade sausage pizza. This included Italian sausage. Experienced foodies will understand it is difficult, impossible even, to make sausage pizza without the sausage. Once at the store, we sashayed over to the meat department, found the sausage (spicy, not mild) and made our purchase. We also had a few other items as noted above. Then

weekly grocery store date. This time dinner plans included guacamole, which necessitated a trip to the produce department. We squeezed the avocadoes with competence and enthusiasm to find the perfect one – not too ripe, not too hard. Then we followed the regular routine. Pay for food. Exit store. Return home. This time we were careful to check the cart to confirm it was void of any food products before returning it to the cart corral. We were in the middle of dinner prep when we discovered our deficiency. I was assembling the ingredients needed to stir together my world famous guacamole when I encountered the glitch. The avocado had gone AWOL. We emptied the fridge. We searched the car. We scanned the counters and the cupboards and came up with a catchy phrase to describe our situation: “Holy moly there’ll be no guacamole.” Sometimes it’s better to laugh at your shortcomings. It

we left. Upon returning home, we unpacked our goods. There was pizza crust, tomato sauce and mozzarella, but no sausage. We looked in the backseat of the car, thinking it had fallen out of the bag, but the vehicle was sausage-less. As was our fridge, pantry, countertops and cupboards. Somehow, we’d lost our sausage. We’ll never know for sure, but we must have left it in the cart in the parking lot, making us victims – or perhaps perpetrators – of abandoned sausage syndrome. I’m sure some cart attendant got a good laugh out of that one. Fast-forward seven days to our

takes your mind off the pitifulness (and guacamole-less-ness) of your predicament. We questioned the usual suspects, but none of our sons would admit to eating an entire avocado. For once, I believed them. We ate our meal with salsa, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce, but without a lick of guac. The avocado had, apparently, grown legs and walked, leaving us green with avocado envy. Or not. Because of the Italian sausage debacle, I knew we hadn’t left the avocado in the cart. We may be absentminded, but we learn from our mistakes. That cart was empty when we exited the parking lot. I’d swear to it (if I swore). And then, damn, it hit me. The avocado had to be somewhere in the house. I set out to find that thickskinned, fat-laden berry. I was on a mission, a mission of failure. It was actually my husband who did the eventual finding – and he

wasn’t even looking. He was replacing the roll of paper towels. The new roll, which we’d bought on that same, fateful, gone-missing avocado day, was still in the plastic grocery store bag, which contained not only the paper towels, but also our longlost avocado. Luckily the fruit wasn’t overripe and was still in prime form for guacamole greatness. I stirred a bowlful together and it’s in the fridge right now. There’s only one problem. We are out of tortilla chips for dipping, so we’ll have to make a trip to the store to buy some. I just hope we can manage to make it home without losing them somewhere along the way.

You can’t take it with you so relax a little now

I’ve been to a couple funerals lately so once again I’m reminded we do not live forever. Duh. Depending on your beliefs, we get one shot here on Earth or we come around again and again, but this one life will not be replicated. So make the most of it. Have fun. And relax. That’s what I need to remind myself of usually. I can be pretty laid back, but I also want things the way I want them when I want them. In my earlier days, (like perhaps yesterday), I could get impatient. I wished for a nose like Samantha on Bewitched so I could twinkle everything into place with a snap of my fingers and a nose twitch. It’s time to mellow. The world still turns whether my house is perfect or my career is perfect or I have my ducks in a row. And we know that nothing is perfect, and the ducks in my new pond don’t line up and sound off. Ducks swim around and look pretty content. I am calmed just watching them. We love our new place, the pondo (condo with pond is pondo). Although we are knee deep in several remodel/updating projects, we are not letting work rule us. The older

wiser me knows it will all get done and being hellbent to get ‘er done is not always the best course. Case in point, new bathroom. The timeline for completion doubled and still wasn’t done. No worries. There is another bathroom to use so we’re good. The vanity top ended up being wonky on the side so we had to take it back. Several tries of several different kinds later, we ended up with one I like so much better. Good things come to those who relax. I vacillate between wanting everything done immediately (and construction dust cleaned up once and for all) and knowing it will all get done and a delay is no crisis. We are hosting here even with nothing on the walls and twenty projects still undone. No one cares. Those who do

Stone School welcomes author of Girl Superhero book Stone School held a special event on Tuesday, Oct. 18 when author Amy Logan visited the school. Logan wrote A Girl with a Cape: The True Story about the Superhero in All of Us, as well as two additional books in this series. Staff members planned several activities for the students in preparation for Logan’s visit. Every student wrote a journal about what is “super” about themselves and each class went on a Top Secret mission of kindness. In addition, they built a Kindness Wall

to celebrate kindness and caring actions throughout the school. Logan presented student programs in the afternoon, talking to students about their own superhero ‘powers’ and ways that they can make a difference in someone else’s life. Stone families were encouraged to attend the school’s Family Reading Night event Tuesday evening, where Logan presented another program. Stone staff members dressed for the day wearing superhero teaching t-shirts and capes.

Addison Trail hosts ‘Go Pink’ events

On Oct. 12, Addison Trail hosted its fifth annual Go Pink Walk to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. (above): Principal Michael Bolden (center, left) and District 88 Superintendent Dr. Scott Helton (center, right) pose with leaders of the groups that coordinate the school’s “Go Pink” activities throughout October. Those groups are Addison Trail’s Blazettes Team, Cheerleading Team, Girls Volleyball Team, Orchesis Team, L.A.D.I.E.S., Marching Band and Color Guard.

Being retired, and living inspired. There is a difference.

“I knew I wouldn’t paint anymore if I had to lug canvas and supplies everywhere. When I saw the art studio here, I knew I’d never have to give up doing something I love.” For Linda Dibblee, living at Park Place helped her rekindle her passion for art — and that’s made all the difference in her retirement. Today her works hang in area galleries; her art has even taken her to London, where she earned first place in a worldwide art competition. Read more at ParkPlaceElmhurst.com/testimonials.

ATHS Go Pink Walk raises funds for breast cancer awareness Event recalls beloved teacher Elizabeth Clifford who passed in 2014 On Oct. 12, Addison Trail hosted its fifth annual Go Pink Walk to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The school will host events throughout October to raise funds to benefit Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Center for Cancer Care’s Breast Health Project, as well as a student scholarship. “Go Pink” activities are coordinated by the Blazettes Team, Cheerleading Team, Girls Volleyball Team, Orchesis Team,

L.A.D.I.E.S., Marching Band and Color Guard. This year’s theme is “Go Pink Hits Home” in memory of Addison Trail special education teacher Elizabeth Clifford. Addison Trail also planted a Prairifire Flowering Crabapple tree (which has “pink” flowers) on Oct. 12 and dedicated it to Clifford, who passed away in May 2016 after battling breast cancer for several years. She joined the District 88 staff in 2003 at Addison Trail and taught in special-

ized programs such as SED88 and ACHIEVE for 13 years. During her time at Addison Trail, Clifford was involved in the school’s “Go Pink” initiative; helped lead the school’s L.A.D.I.E.S. group, which provides support and ongoing motivational clinics for female students in an effort to help members gain confidence and realize their true potential; and assisted with the annual Pay It Forward event, which welcomes incoming freshmen to the school. Top left: Pink balloons were released before the Go Pink Walk on Oct. 12 in memory of Addison Trail special education teacher Elizabeth Clifford, who passed away in May 2016 after battling breast cancer for several years. Pictured are (from left) Nick Lopez, a close friend of the Clifford family; Clifford’s two daughters, Katy and Sara; Grace Fitzpatrick, a close friend of the Clifford family; and Maddie Gwilliam, a close friend of the Clifford family.

Willowbrook football team moves onto playoffs

Fenton boys and girls cross-country teams headed to sectionals

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

There was good news and bad news for the Willowbrook football team. The bad news was the Warriors lost 21-9 at home to Leyden in a West Suburban Conference Gold Division game that determined the conference champion. Leyden won the conference title outright with a 6-0 mark and finished 7-2 overall. The good news for Willowbrook is the Warriors automatically qualified for the state playoffs by virtue of its 6-3 overall record. The Warriors open postseason play in Class 7A either Friday or Saturday on the road in Quincy against Quincy Senior High School. Willowbrook is the No. 23 seed in the 32-team Class 7A bracket. Quincy (8-1) is the No. 10 seed. Addison Trail football The Addison Trail football team concluded its 2016 season after a 49-14 West Suburban Conference crossover loss to Glenbard West. Addison Trail finished the season with a 4-5 overall record. The Blaz-

ers finished 3-3 in WSC Gold Division play. Glenbard West led 14-0 after the first quarter and 35-0 at halftime and 49-0 after three quarters. Willowbrook boys cross country The Willowbrook boys crosscountry team earned the sixth and final sectional-qualifying spot out of the Class 3A Hinsdale Central regional. The Warriors finished with 159 points. Sophomore Matt Caron was 21st with a time of 16:16. Senior Casey King was 27th with a time of 16:33. Senior Jacob Christiansen was 36th with a time of 17:07. Junior Alec Gruchalski was 37th with a time of 17:10. Senior Evan Carter was 38th at 17:10. Junior Michael Isaacson was 41st in 17:24 and junior Ian Costello was 47th in 17:56. Addison Trail boys cross country The Addison Trail boys crosscountry team finished 10th at the recent Class 3A Lake Park regional and did not qualify any individuals

Week 10 Preview Willowbrook (6-3) at Quincy (8-1) What: First round of Class 7A state football playoffs When: Friday or Saturday (check IHSA.org for exact day and time) Where: Quincy Senior High School Seeds: Willowbrook is the No. 23 team in the 32-team Class 7A bracket. Quincy is the No. 10 seed.

Outlook: Talk about opening up the playoffs on the road! With one single 32-team bracket not broken up by geography, Willowbrook will make a more than four-hour ride to west-central Illinois to face Quincy in the first round of the Class 7A playoffs. According to Google maps, Villa Park is almost 300 miles away from Quincy. Willowbrook lost in Week 9 to Leyden at home in a game that decided the conference championship and more importantly likely cost the team a first-round home playoff game given six of the seven 7-2 teams in the field are playing at home in the first round. The only exception is the 16-17 seed game that features a pair of 7-2 teams. Quincy won the Western Big 6 Conference title. However, the Blue Devils possess only two wins against teams with winning records (both 7-2) and have other wins against teams with records of 0-9, 0-9, 2-7, 2-7, 1-8 and 4-5. Their only loss was to 8-1 Edwardsville. Up next: The winner of this game faces either No. 26 Chicago Simeon (5-4) or No. 7 Glenbrook North (8-1). A Willowbrook win will give the Warriors a second-round home playoff game regardless of opponent.

for the sectional meet. Senior Demetrio Cervantes was 44th with a time of 16:33.8. Senior Julio Cervantes was 46th with a time of 16:37.7. Junior Danny Bueno was 52nd in 16:50. Junior Luis Vargas was 54th with a time of 16:54.2. Sophomore Ricardo Arreguin was 59th in 17:13.1. Junior Nick Czorniak was 62nd in 17:22.8 and senior Tony Diaz was 64th with a time of 17:43.6.

Addison Trail boys soccer team wins regional title Blazers take home first postseason crown in 16 years

CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail boys soccer team recently picked up some pretty strong confirmation on just how good of a season they are having. The Blazers scored a 3-0 win over Wheaton-Warrenville South to win a Class 3A regional title. It was the first time Addison Trail has won a boys soccer regional title since 2000. “It was a long time coming,” said Addison Trail coach Ryan Dini. “We possessed the ball real well and had good ball control most of the game. Anytime Wheaton-Warrenville South put us in a dangerous situation, our defense shut them down.” Addison Trail held a 15-3 shotson-target advantage. “We had possession most of the time,” the coach

pointed out. “We were able to create a lot of scoring chances.” Enrique Luna had two goals for Addison Trail. Martin Juarez had the other tally. Luna, Tom Kania and Jonathan Hernandez each had one assist. Addison Trail was bolstered by the defensive play of Brian Ramos, Edmond Montano, Uriel Martinez and Melvin Mora. Junior Jacob Grygo earned the shutout in his second postseason start in a row. In the regional semifinals, Addison Trail scored a 2-1 win over Glenbard West. Kania and Hernandez each had a goal. Montano and Kania had one assist each. “We were losing 1-0 most of the game,” said Dini. “We tied it in the last 25 minutes.”

Fenton boys soccer team wins regional title Bison girls volleyball team preparing for playoffs By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Fenton boys soccer team scored a 1-0 win in penalty kicks against Marmion Academy to take home the Class 2A Fenton regional title in Bensenville. Fenton and Marmion were tied 0-0 after two overtimes. The Bison won the game by virtue of winning the penalty-kick phase by a 4-1 count. Earlier, Fenton advanced to the regional-championship game after a 2-1 win over St. Francis. Fenton advanced to this week’s Class 2A St. Francis sectional in Wheaton. The Bison played Tuesday against the winner of the Burlington Central regional. If Fenton won that game it will play for the sectional title Saturday at 7 p.m. at St. Francis. Fenton football The Fenton football team closed out its season with a 49-0 setback to IC Catholic Prep in Bensenville. The Bison concluded the 2016 campaign with a 3-6 overall record. The Bison finished Metro Suburban Conference Blue Division play with a 1-4 mark. Fenton girls volleyball The Fenton girls volleyball team finished the regular season with a 12-22 record. The Bison finished the regular season with a 25-21, 25-13 win over Elmwood Park in a MSC crossover series match. The night before, the Bison dropped a tough three-set match to Aurora Central Catholic by scores of 25-20, 22-25, 25-21. Fenton also recently lost two-set contests to Wheaton Academy and Glenbard South. “While we are happy with the way we finished in defeating Elm-

wood Park and losing a tough match at ACC, we still are very disappointed we didn’t win a conference match again this season,” said Fenton coach Kelly Kleidorfer late last week. “That was one of our primary goals. However, we already have turned our attention to our regional opener (earlier this week against Chicago Prosser at Prosser). Despite being the better seed, we know it will be a huge test. If we are fortunate to get by Prosser, Glenbard West will be waiting.” Through the end of the regular season, Paulina Milanowski was leading the team in serving with 298 serves in out of 323 attempts to go with 58 service aces. She also was the team leader in kills with 153 and assists with 263 (now just shy of 1,000 assists for her career). Vicky Krzyszkowski was the team leader in blocks with 39 and Ashley Lira was leading in digs with 186. “Needless to say, Paulina is our MVP,” said Kleidorfer. “She finished second in digs and third in blocks as our setter. She has had an amazing career. We are going to miss all our seniors, but have some young talent that will keep the program moving in the right direction.”

Addison Trail held a 30-2 shotson-target advantage. “We hit the crossbar twice and hit the post twice,” said Dini. “They scored on their first shot from 40 yards out. We had some bad luck. We dominated the whole game and had consistent pressure on them. We had so many chances and we finally put one on

the board. That helped us relax.” Kania’s goal tied it and Hernandez scored the game-winner with five minutes to play. The two wins pumped Addison Trail’s record to 21-1. The WWS win was the team’s 16th in a row. “We got a good scare against Glenbard West,” said Dini. “That got

us back to practicing well and working on the little things. The guys are extremely focused. They want to make a long run in the playoffs.” Addison Trail played in a sectional semifinal game Tuesday at Glenbard East. If the Blazers won that game they will play for the sectional title Friday at 5 p.m. at Glenbard East.

Addison Trail girls volleyball team reaches 20-win mark again Blazers finish second in conference By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail girls volleyball team reached an important victory benchmark recently. The Blazers sported a 20-10 overall record through late last week, achieving 20 wins for a second year in a row (Addison Trail was 22-14 last year). Addison Trail also took second in the West Suburban Conference Gold Division with a 5-1 mark. “We’ve done a great job responding to adversity throughout the season,” said Addison Trail coach Dan Styler. “We lost to Downers Grove South and that was a big match. Downers South won the conference. Even tough things didn’t go our way, we responded and beat a very good

Glenbard West team that is the No. 1 seed in the sectional. We have been able to respond when things aren’t going our away.” Styler said a litany of things came together in the Glenbard West win. “We did a fantastic job playing smart volleyball,” he said. “We controlled the ball well. All facets seemed to be clicking. We wore them down with our ball control. We played an aggressive game, especially near the end to close it out.” Styler commended the recent performances of seniors Sarah Petrbok, Keara Schmitt and Anastasia Labadessa. “Those three seniors continue to play well,” he said. “They are threeyear starters who have been fantastic and very consistent for us.” The Blazers also have benefitted from the play of junior middles Nicci Scorza and Giovanna Scarabaggio. “Both have been doing a great job,” said Styler. “They are not the tallest middles out there, but they play a very fast tempo and they are

aggressive. They have outworked a lot of middles on the opposite side of the net this year.” Styler said this year’s success has additional context to it. “We’ve had a great run the past two years,” he said. “What’s even more impressive is we toughened up the schedule this season. During the grind of this season we have played some competitive teams and that’s helped us to get better.” Team chemistry, he added, has been off the charts as well. “The team chemistry with this group truly has been a bright spot,” he said. “They are great kids. We have eight seniors who we just recognized on senior night. They have bonded so well on and off the court. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don’t have personalities that mesh together, you are fighting an uphill battle.” Addison Trail opened Class 4A regional play earlier this week against Leyden. The Blazers are the No. 5 seed in the sectional.

(Continued from page 8) can leave (or come here and work). As much I like spotless and pretty and neat and orderly and put together, I like time with my husband more. We can work ourselves to exhaustion and we can snuggle on the couch, watch a movie and make out. (I like that part the best.) I used to say that I loved moving and that may be so, but right here right now, I’m done. We will make this love nest our own brand of beautiful and keep home base here. I can travel to wherever whenever and not have to move again. If I get itchy in a few years, I can redecorate. Obviously, I am getting older. With that often comes a settling down. I used to think that was a bad thing. My younger son has called me a hippie gypsy (a compliment). I can wander the world with my prince, but not have to pack more than a bag. We spent a month in France with just a small carry-on each. It was perfect. At these funerals I’ve been to, there is no luggage. They always say you can’t take it with you. What do we take? What do we leave behind? The joy. Yes, I like my pretties and always will. Maybe I could be buried with a full set of china and blingy wine glasses, but nah. I’ll use them now, have a little fun. And relax.
