State’s Attorney’s office launches military option diversion program DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin recently announced that his office had launched a new initiative aimed at helping youthful offenders charged with minor crimes who have a desire to serve in the military. The initiative will allow participants the opportunity to keep a conviction from being permanently entered on their record, which may preclude them from military service. “I am very excited about facilitating this military option that will divert certain cases from the regular Court call and help qualified applicants with a desire to serve our country from having a criminal record,” Berlin said. Once a month recruiters from the Navy, Marines and Army will set up a kiosk on the fourth floor of the courthouse. From there, the recruiters will be available to meet with potential participants and conduct a pre-screening to verify their abil-

ity to join the service. In instances where the only impediment to enlistment is a minor criminal offense, the State’s Attorney’s Office will review the applicant’s case and determine if the case can be disposed of in an appropriate manner that will allow for enlistment. In such cases, enlistment into service will be verified. The program is available to first-time, non-violent offenders. “The initiative is a win, win,” Berlin said. “First, it will provide participants the opportunity to avoid a criminal prosecution and begin what promises to be a more productive chapter in their lives by serving their country. In addition, offering participants a chance to avoid getting tangled up in the criminal justice system will not only reduce crime, it will allow my Assistants more time to concentrate their efforts on going after more violent criminals.”

A high-five for Bugs Bunny

School District 2 awarded custombuilt playground at Mohawk site National retail company Target Corporation selected Bensenville School District 2 as one of 26 recipients of a unique, custom-built playground in partnership with KaBOOM! “Play is essential for the normal development of children,” said District 2 Superintendent Dr. Jim Stelter, noting its importance for students’ social-emotional learning. “I’m just excited for the opportunity to bring a fantastic playground to the Bensenville community north of Ir-

ving Park Road.” Not only that, but play “promotes good health,” Dr. Stelter said. This in turn can help students perform better in school. According to KaBOOM!, play helps students develop critical 21st century skills, such as collaboration, resilience and empathy. It also builds creative thinking and problem-solving skills. The playground will be built on

District 2 makes learning fun with expanded summer school Bensenville School District 2 students don’t have to worry about being bored this summer. Instead, they’re learning important strategic skills and critical thinking every Wednesday in July playing board games at Summer School Expansion. This summer District 2 launched the Summer School Expansion program, a four-week program meeting Wednesday mornings in July from 8 am to 12 pm. For four hours each week, students learn to put their own twist on fairy tales (Cinderella saves a library), write personal narratives (if David could go back in time, he’d change that time he broke the TV) and, most importantly (for the students), play board games. “A lot of kids don’t have the time or the opportunity just to play a simple board game,” said District 2 Director of Instructional Services Leah Guathier, “and with a simple board game they can really learn some strategic knowledge where they have to be forward thinkers and they have to apply some of those real-life collaboration skills.” “This one day a week check-in is so great for them,” said Caitlin Laga, a 4th grade teacher at Tioga Elementary School. “They’re actually really liking it, because we’re doing fun things and it’s a short morning.” The point of the program, Gauth-

ier said, is to provide “more literacy support throughout the summer without taking the students summer.” Each student in the expansion program also attended summer school five days a week in June and was chosen to be part of the pilot expansion program, in part to give them a boost going into the new school year. The expansion program was designed to build off what students learned during regular summer school and prepare them for what they’d learn in the fall. “They’ve already had practice this summer writing a fairy tale so they’ll be comfortable inside the classroom,” said Laga, whose students will write fairy tales this fall. “They’ll have that confidence built in.” The expansion program, split into four classrooms, each with two teachers, created an effective learning environment. “We do have a lot of moments where we’re able to say, ‘yeah let’s talk about that,’ where you don’t normally have that time and you have to keep moving,” said Nichole Casolari, a K-3 special education resource teacher at W.A. Johnson Elementary School. “The kids are really into it,” Casolari added. “Once they found out that it was a little bit shorter, that was a huge thing for them.”

Two students in District 2’s Summer School Expansion put their strategic skills to the test in a game of Connect Four on Wednesday, July 13.

When incoming 1st and 2nd graders were asked about their favorite part of the program, hands shot up: “Games! Games! Lunch! Recess! Games!” One more plus? “We can sit wherever we want on the bus!”

The American Association of Orthodontists’ recommendation that all children be screened at age 7 is predicated on the possibility that some by Jeffrey T. Boland children might benefit from early Licensed Orthodontic treatment. The goal ofSpecialist two-phase “interceptive” orthodontic treatment is to reduce the severity of a developing problem by addressing its underlying cause as early as possible. The first phase of treatment begins when some permanent teeth have erupted and some deciduous (“baby”) teeth remain. During this time of “mixed dentition,” braces may be placed on some teeth and a growth-modification device may be used to adjust jaw growth and/or encourage proper tooth placement. The second phase begins after the last primary tooth is lost and the 12-year-molars begin to erupt.

grist mill’s grinding and gear works as well as the mill’s basement subfloor and millrace foundation. Work began in April and is expected to finish in early August. The district spent $584,670 for the repairs, and the DuPage Graue Mill Corporation, which operates the mill for the district, funded nearly $25,000 in repairs to the grist mill and jib crane assemblies. Project details are available on the district’s website. “Though these improvements may not change the look of the building, people need to know that the building has been stabilized and better protected from flooding,” said Forest Preserve District Commissioner Jeff Redick, District 2. To complete the work, crews moved the water wheel and stored it on site while masons removed old mortar in the joints between the stones of the sluiceway walls directly against the mill’s foundation. The masons then refilled the joints with new grout and made similar repairs to the stone foundation walls above grade on the east and west sides

They replaced old wooden columns with new steel ones and moved the wooden gears so they could install new concrete pedestals. Finally, they repaired the jib crane and installed a new motor and pedestal to turn the millstones. “As a result of the DuPage Graue Mill Corporation’s support and dedication to the mill, visitors will again be able to see the gristmill operate,” said District Planning manager Kevin Horsfall. The mill was closed to the public during the work, which also required closing the trail and underpass between the mill and York Road. The Graue Mill and Museum is one of the area’s remaining authenticated Underground Railroad “stations” and the only operating gristmill in the Chicago area. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in May 1975 and was recognized in 1981 as an Illinois Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the only gristmill so designated on a national or local level. “Graue Mill is a very important part of DuPage County’s history, so we wanted to ensure it remains a beautiful cultural and educational landmark,” said Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore.

Archers may use arrows with target heads but not broad heads. “The Blackwell archery range is a longtime favorite of outdoor enthusiasts and gives visitors another way to get their daily dose of nature,” said Forest Preserve District of DuPage County President Joe Cantore. The archery range features bow racks, quivers and targets with distances up to 90 meters. It recently underwent improvements to make it ADA accessible.

Pokemon Go craze gets people out of the house

It’s all the rage and a cuttingedge craze – sweeping not only the nation, but the entire world. If you don’t have an inkling of understanding about what the verve is all about, chances are you’re aware of the buzz about Pokémon Go. And, if you’re like me, you wish you had the foresight to invest in the Nintendo Company a couple of months ago. Pokémon Go is a new game played on mobile devices. On July 12, less than a week after it was first released, the app became the most active mobile game in the United States ever with 21 million users. This thing is bigger than Candy Crush Saga. Mobile apps are a dime a dozen (or often free, as is the case with Pokémon Go). Except this game is different from the others in one major way. It is location-based. You can’t play while sitting in your living room. The game requires that you go out. Into the real world. To

JILL PERTLER Contributor

find and catch imaginary Pokémon (animal-like cartoon creatures) and hatch their eggs. Makes perfect sense. Hatching eggs requires a couple of things: a virtual incubator and walking. If kids (and kids who have already technically grown up) want to hatch an egg, they first place it in an incubator located on their phone. Then they get moving. In the real world, in real time. Eggs take anywhere from two to 10 kilometers to hatch. For those of you not living on the metric side of things, one kilometer is a little more than half

a mile. The app keeps track of the distance you’ve traveled and hatches the egg accordingly. And don’t even think about cheating the system. Distance counting stops when a player exceeds a certain speed, so driving in a car doesn’t count toward egg hatching. You’ve got to hoof it. Players travel between places like PokeStops and PokeGyms (located at various places around town) to capture and battle – all while they are outside, exercising without even realizing it. Here’s the Poké magic: they just think they are having fun. There’s hasn’t been anything this ingenious since kick-the-can. At least that’s this mom’s perspective. Pre-Pokémon, I was the one battling – to get my kids off the couch and away from the screen. Now they’ve still got the screen, but at least they are off the couch. Playing outside. With friends. Poke me. Nothing this popular can skate

(or walk) by without some amount of criticism. People walking or biking while staring at their phone screens is like distracted driving without the car. Walking the streets after dark may put kids at risk of not being seen by motorists. And, players hunting Pokémon at places like museums, cemeteries, memorial sites and fire stations isn’t always embraced by the non-players visiting or working at those sites. Still, I’m a proponent. My kid hasn’t played any indoor video games in the last week. If you are the mom of a 14-year-old boy, you understand the immensity and nearly miraculous significance of that statement. I’ve heard adults (myself included) lament nostalgically over the good old days, when summer and childhood meant getting on your bike and exploring the woods or going to a nearby park and whiling away the hours until it was time to go home for lunch, or maybe even supper if you’d eaten a big enough breakfast or packed yourself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

My kid is doing that. His bike is broken, so he’s been riding mine – a no speed, over-sized, fender-laden mom bike if you’ve ever seen one. He doesn’t care about his lack of fancy wheels because he is having fun. He leaves in the morning and makes a quick pit stop for lunch. His face has developed a warm summer glow. He’s meeting up with friends and finding new ones. The game’s even taught him about kilometer conversion. So, for now I can overlook the fact that his summer reading isn’t yet complete. We’ll get to that. Summer should be a time of playing outside with your friends. This new game may not be perfect, but it isn’t a perfect world. I’ll take what I can get. And for this summer, at least, it’s all about the go. Pokémon Go.

In our talks and in my journaling time with myself, we realized “dream house” for us, really meant “dream lifestyle”. So as we looked at properties, we asked ourselves if this felt like ease and fun (our guiding words.) We’ve looked at many amazing homes, mansions and condos, and condos that were as big as mansions. The house on the hill with 6 bedrooms, the Tudor with 10 acres, the barn and buildings that were once a half-million dollar property and now needed loving….did we want to take on a project? We knew we could make beautiful, but did it feel like ease and fun? In addition to here at home, over this past year we have traveled and looked, and on this mountain trip, we looked at places too. Cabins and Victorians and one that literally had a view to die for - we could not even make it up the treacherous mountain road. Nothing felt right. We’re not a

realtor’s dream client. “What are you looking for?” “Oh, it could be anything, it just has to feel right.” Realtors hate Zillow.com, but I’ve been addicted this past year. We got home July 4 and a for-saleby-owner condo popped up on Zillow. July 5 we did a drive by and the owner was outside. We made an appointment to tour two days later. It was the one. Ease. A condo gives that. We can be gypsy travelers and have a home base. The place has a good view, quiet and peaceful, high ceiling and a fireplace. It’s not a “normal” condo surrounded by other condos where you either look at your

Students perform at Great America, meet characters Last week, District 4’s summer music students celebrated the end of their summer session by taking a trip to Great America.

Expert on black military history to lecture at Cantigny The First Division Museum at Cantigny Park welcomes historian Anthony L. Powell on Wednesday, August 3. He will discuss the letters and ideas of Chaplain William S. Braddan, the only African-American officer from World War I, who left a first-person record of his service in France. The free program begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Cantigny Park Visitors Center and all are invited. Parking also is complimentary for this event. (Doors open at 6:30 p.m.) The story of William Braddan is rich and fascinating. He was born in a troop wagon of the 10th Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. Army on the

Texas frontier, his father being a sergeant with the regiment. At age 16 he enlisted with the regiment himself and eventually participated in the Great War as a member of 370th Infantry, the only unit commanded entirely by black officers. After his military service, Braddan relocated to Chicago, becoming the pastor of Berean Baptist Church and Chaplain for the 8th Infantry Regiment of the Illinois National Guard. Powell, of San Jose, Calif., has devoted more than 30 years to studying, teaching, collecting and writing about the American Buffalo Soldier, the nickname first applied

to 19th-century African-American enlisted men serving in the western United States. Powell curates “The Buffalo Soldier,” a national travelling exhibit, and lectures extensively on Black Military History at universities, colleges and museums. A cash bar will accompany a limited food menu. Coffee is complimentary. This event is part of the First Division Museum’s Date with History, a monthly series featuring lively discussions with authors, panelists, historians and special guests. Information about upcoming programs is online at FirstDivisionMuseum.org.

neighbor’s building or a parking lot. We have trees, a green yard, and a natural pond. Private. And someone else mows. No one has a view into our windows. Not that I roam around naked, but I could. The fireplace is not standard condo - it is floor to ceiling stone. We did a couple visits and pulled the trigger. We’re going condo. It’s not tiny at 1750 square feet, but we’re being very selective what gets moved. The releasing of stuff is in full force. It feels good. The idea of a condo had appeal and we had looked before, but didn’t find. When we took a breath and said let it be easy, this one appeared. That’s our dream lifestyle motto, let it be easy. Things have been falling in to place seamlessly, with the sale of this one and the purchase of that one. Every morning I write in my journal, let it be easy. So far, so good.

Willowbrook summer baseball team reaches regional semifinals Warriors break 20-win barrier — second-most victories in program history

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

It was another banner summer season for the Willowbrook baseball team. The Warriors advanced all the way to the semifinals of the 16-team Fenwick regional. During the summer season, there are no sectional or supersectional rounds in the state tournament. The regional winner advances to the state quarterfinals. Willowbrook scored wins against Montini and St. Joe’s and then lost to Oak Park-River Forest in the regional semifinals. “We had a great run,” said Willowbrook coach Vic Wisner. The Warriors opened the summer playoffs with a 7-2 win over Montini. “It was a whole staff effort,” said Wisner. “We had some guys that had thrown over the weekend with their travel teams.”

Ryan Mintz started the game and went four innings. Will Hines, Scott Kohrt and Trevor Jaloszynski came in and threw in relief. “After Ryan, we threw a different guy each inning. They all did a great job.” Jon Kelso had four hits in the ballgame. “Jon hit the ball all over the place,” said Wisner. The coach also was thrilled with his team’s defensive effort. “We made no errors,” he said. “We played great defense and overall played solid baseball.” Catcher Dan Gusel added two hits for the winners. Willowbrook then recorded a 2-0 victory over St. Joe’s in the second round. Jack Nilles started and pitched the first four innings. Kohrt entered in relief and threw the final three innings. Kelso had a run-scoring triple, while Kyle Ferguson added an RBI

single that scored Kelso. “That was it for our runs,” said Wisner. “We played great defense again. We turned three double plays. We did a real good job defensively. Anytime a guy was on base, we were good.” The Warriors then dropped a tough 4-3 decision in 11 innings to Oak Park-River Forest in the semifinals. Alec Michaelson started the game on the mound for the Warriors. “They got two runs on one hit in the first inning and then we started to chip away,” said Wisner. “After that first inning, Alec was dominant. He had 10 strikeouts and pitched a phenomenal game for us.” Wisner noted the team had the bases loaded in the seventh inning with no outs and did not score. “In the eighth inning we had the bases loaded with one out and didn’t score,” he said. “I think in every inning in extra innings we had runners

in scoring position. It was a tough loss. The only error we made in the tournament, Oak Park turned into a run.” Kelso had two hits and two RBI. Vince Ruchala, Ben Espinoza and Sam Pelsor also played key roles in Willowbrook’s offense against Oak Park-River Forest. The Warriors finished the summer with a 20-6 record. “That’s the second-best summer record we’ve had,” said Wisner. “The summer is about finding out who we are and what our identity is. We saw that. We will have some good pitching next spring. Alec has turned out to be a No. 1 pitcher and one of the best pitchers in our area.” Wisner also likes the fact he has a versatile roster. “We will be more moving parts next season,” he said. “We’re talented that way. We can move guys

all over the place and not skip a beat as if they had played the position the entire year.” Wisner said the loss to Oak ParkRiver Forest opened plenty of eyes on the team as to what the future holds. “When they left the field after the Oak Park game there were some long faces,” he said. “But they came around. They enjoy being around each other. The team concept is very important. Someone once said is it chemistry that makes the winning or winning that makes the chemistry? Chemistry makes the winning. “The Oak Park loss was tough to take. It felt like it was our game. From the second inning on we took control. We just couldn’t get the big hit. I’m proud of these kids. Guys made the most of the opportunities they were given and took advantage of the playing time. They stepped up and did a great job.”

Addison Trail boys basketball team busy during summer Blazers play close to 50 games By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Addison Trail boys basketball team sure didn’t sit around this summer. Coach Brendan Lyons noted the team played in the neighborhood of 48 games during the recently completed summer season. “We gained a ton of experience and we were able to play a ton of games,” said Lyons. “I think we played 48 games in the month of June. That’s more than we’ve ever played since I’ve been here. The kids had tons of opportunities and they took advantage of them. We had some nagging injuries pop up with a rolled ankle here and there. If someone missed a whole week that could have been 15 games. Kids stepped up when the opportunities were there. We had a very productive summer.” Lyons welcomes back a trio of players who logged significant minutes on last year’s team. That group includes Jack Kalbas, Colton Noel and Michael Williams. “At times

they all demonstrated improvements in their game and the ability to carry the load for us,” the coach said. Lyons also lauded the work of Bobby Daniels and Eric Lynch. “Bobby and Eric are both seniors who stepped up. I would say they were our two most consistent performers. It was nice to see them take the next step with their games.” Once again, Addison Trail took full advantage of its well-regarded facilities this summer. The Blazers hosted 12 events there. “That was a combination of a couple things,” said Lyons. “We got out of school earlier than we have before. We were out before Memorial Day and that allowed us to pick up some early summer dates. We also offered Tuesday night events and those filled up. We knew we had enough guys back and then we could possibly add some freshmen and sophomores, so we were able to handle the workload of three nights in a row for three straight weeks.” Addison Trail also participated in the Stagg and Willowbrook shootouts. “We played 12 games between those two,” said Lyons. After assessing the summer campaign, Lyons said the team’s offense is trending ahead of the defense. “We know we have a lot of work to

do on the defensive end,” he said. “We do return a little bit of size. With Michael Williams and Desmond Carter those are kids who are 6-5 and 6-7 and will be able to do a lot of things inside. We’ll be able to do some high-low things with our offense. If we can get that inside-out game going that will help open up our perimeter offense. Right now the offense is definitely ahead of the defense. We know we have some ground to make up there.” Lyons liked the fact his squad went up against a variety of defenses during the summer. “We saw more zone defenses this summer,” he said. “That’s not typically what we see, but it’s good to see that in the summer.” The large quantity of games allowed Lyons ample time to assess each player on the roster. “The summer is what it is,” he said. “You don’t win any games or lose any games in the summer. We got a feel for what the team has. The summer is a good opportunity for the kids to play and get better. We accomplished that.” Lyons noted the bar has been raised higher for the program in the wake of numerous years in a row of improvement. “We’re coming off another double-digit win year,” he said. “We

have some guys coming back who enjoyed that success. Part of our success is going to depend on the leadership of our seniors and the example they set going forward. We’ve had classes come through here with

a high work ethic and good leadership and the younger guys emulate that. We want to continue to move forward and play for conference championships and regional titles. They want to get to that next level.”

Fenton boys basketball team active during summer season Getting-to-know period for new coach Taft and Bison players By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

New Fenton boys basketball coach Chaz Taft had plenty of opportunities to become familiar with his squad this summer. Among the Bison’s summer stops were leagues at Addison Trail and Glenbard East, as well as a shootout at Glenbard East. “We played in a couple of summer

leagues and a couple shootouts,” Taft said. “Camp went well. It was good to get to know the kids. They understand the commitment it takes to raise the level of Fenton basketball.” Taft takes over a team that is not short on players with program experience. “We have seven seniors coming back from last year’s team,” he said. “That helped. Everybody was pretty close in camp. We have a pretty tightknit group here. I was impressed with the way they like to play with each other and have fun with each other. That helps a lot when you are talking about things such as continu-

Elmhurst College baseball team earns academic honor

By Mike Miazga CORRESPONDENT

The Elmhurst College baseball team is the recipient of the American Baseball Coaches Association Team Academic Excellence Award. Elmhurst was one of 32 NCAA Division III teams to earn the inaugural award from ABCA. In order to qualify for the award, teams were required to maintain a minimum 3.0 grade-point average for the 2015-

2016 academic year. Elmhurst was one of two schools from the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin to earn the award. The Bluejays finished the season with 21 wins. On a larger scale, more than 175 Elmhurst College student-athletes earned academic all-conference honors from CCIW in 2015-2016. Six student-athletes were honored with the Jack Swartz Academic AllConference Award. Each member school selects one male and one female athlete from each season for the Swartz honor. A 3.50 GPA is required for the honor. Swartz award-winners for Elmhurst this past school year included Andy Warsen (football), Shannon Burns (volleyball), Kenny Payonk (men’s basketball), Claire Monroe

(women’s basketball), Greg Struck (baseball) and Brianna Thompson (softball). Male Athlete of the Year Wrestlers Jimmy Nehls and Blake Santi were selected as Elmhurst College’s co-male athletes of the year for the 2015-2016 season. Both wrestlers finished the season as CCIW champions and NCAA All-Americans in helping the Bluejays win a CCIW title and earn a top10 national finish. Nehls, a senior, was the national runner-up at 141 pounds at the NCAA Division III championships. He finished 31-5 overall and won CCIW and NCAA regional titles. He finished 4-1 at nationals and also was named CCIW’s most outstanding wrestler. Santi finished his senior season

with a 26-3 record at 149 pounds. He captured titles at the UW-Parkside Open, the CCIW championships and the NCAA Midwest Regional. Santi went 4-2 at the NCAA Division III championships and took home fifthplace and All-American honors. He closed out his career with a 16-1 technical fall win in the fifth-place match. Female Athlete of the Year Women’s volleyball player Hannah Nimrick was named the Elmhurst College female athlete of the year. Nimrick, a junior setter this past season, helped Elmhurst to a 24-win season and a berth in the NCAA Division III tournament for the fifth year in a row. Nimrick was an All-American selection and also earned first-team

sophomores in camp and I thought they did a great job picking up the offense and a great job getting in position on the defensive end of the floor.” Taft, a graduate of Fenton, also is looking to the future of the program. “We want to start a feeder basketball program with the younger kids,” he said. “When I played at Fenton there was a feeder system. We want to get these kids excited about basketball.” Taft noted the program ended the summer session on a high note with a special gathering for all the players. “At the end of camp we had a barbeque for the kids,” he said. “That was my way of saying you busted it in the summer. They did a great job. We cooked hot dogs and hamburgers for them. It was our way of saying thank-you. I’m proud of how the kids have embraced things already.”

ity. They are great teammates to each other and are pulling for each other.” Taft said that closeness will come in handy with the team’s new manto-man defensive strategy. “The man-to-man is new to everybody,” he said. “How hard you play shows a lot in this defense. If you don’t help out and play the style we play, it really exposes you to when you need to help a teammate out. They have to be there for each other on defense and have to want to play for their teammates. Things such as help recovery and help on the help line are the biggest transitions with the game and what we are teaching on the defensive end of the floor.” Taft saw widespread improvement throughout the summer roster. “Everybody made a huge improvement from the first day of camp to the last day of camp,” he said. “We had some freshmen and

“Baseball was the first sport I learned about and watched, and I just fell in love.” The duo met at Illinois Media School in Lombard, where they produce “Northside Manner.” They coordinate all aspects of the show, including writing the content and script, filming, editing, prep and maintaining their website and social media outlets. Allen said they researched social media platforms for the Cubs and realized there was an opportunity for growth. They began filming “Northside Manner” every Friday and developed a Twitter and Facebook presence, as well as a website. Their posts have even received feedback from several Cubs players and their wives. Allen and Garcia said the ultimate goal of hosting the show is to save up enough money from sponsorships to buy their own studio and work for the Cubs. But their focus remains on entertaining and educating their viewers. “We hope our fans gain a better understanding of who the Cubs are through our show and social media outlets,” Allen said. “A lot of them don’t live in Illinois, so we are sometimes the only source they have for Cubs news.”

Willowbrook alumnus Michael Allen (class of 2014) and Addison Trail alumna Gabriella Garcia (class of 2009) have more in common than graduating from the same high school district. They also are both diehard Cubs fans – “born and raised.” And they’ve taken their passion to the next level – in July 2015, they launched a YouTube show called “Northside Manner.” Allen and Garcia described the show as upbeat and interactive and said they constantly strive to come up with new and fresh ideas for segments – as long as the topics are focused on all things Cubs, of course. “Just being around baseball and seeing the players – from little kids all the way to the professional teams – you see that all levels have one thing in common – everyone is smiling and having fun with the sport,” Allen said. “That’s what I love.” Allen grew up playing on little league and youth baseball teams and later served as an umpire. Garcia played softball and has fond memories of watching baseball on TV with her dad. “My dad taught me everything I know about sports,” Garcia said.
