An open and affirmed faith LGBT community finds acceptance in Downers Grove congregation By jonathan samples managing editor

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

When Marla Jeanette Dorner was asked to perform a liturgy at her church’s July 5 worship, she couldn’t ignore the irony.

“I stopped and thought about it — a transsexual woman was a lay liturgists at the service on Fourth of July weekend,” joked Dorner, who is a parishioner at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Downers Grove.

That service occurred nine days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right in all 50 states.

For Dorner, the ruling helped affirm a tolerance from her country that she often struggled to find among her peers. For St. Paul’s, it was a sign that the country is beginning to catch up with the church’s own “open and affirming” policy toward the LGBT community.

“Well there were a lot of smiles in the pews, and I wore my rainbow stole,” said Pastor Kirk Moore, describing the service following the court’s June 26 decision. “This is who we are as an open and affirming congregation, and we celebrated together.”

Moore, who grew up in Downers Grove, became the pastor at St. Paul’s in 2012.

That same year, the church decided to become an open and affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ, and Moore said the church has history of reform that dates back to 1893, when it chartered as St. Paul’s Evangelical Church.

“What has changed in the last three years, though, is there are rainbows at church, and there are more people present who are from the LGBT community and are not afraid to be out with whoever they are,” he said.

Approximately 1,500 of the more than 5,100 UCC churches in the U.S. have adopted the voluntary policy, which means they accept and welcome people of every age, economic status, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, marital status,

mental and physical ability, political affiliation, and sexual orientation.

Finding a home That policy of acceptance is what drew Dorner to St. Paul’s in October 2014. Before that, she experienced a variety of discrimination and had feelings of guilt about who she was.

Dorner was 14 years old when she started questioning her gender assignment.

The 61-year-old Westmont resident was born a biological male, and despite making efforts to fit culturally defined characteristics of “manhood,” she never felt like she belonged.

“I tried Boy Scouts and all those other guy things, but nothing really worked because I never really fit in anywhere,” she remembered.

She eventually married, and her and her wife had two children. But Dorner was still living as a male, and the two eventually divorced.

“I went through my life and got married because a man had to have a wife,” she said. “ I was still in denial.”

After retiring three years ago, Dorner started transitioning.

She began taking hormones and dressing exclusively in clothing

that reflected her gender identity — something she said would have risked her job if she were still working. She started praying and even found a nearby church that had a policy of acceptance toward gays and lesbians.

However, Dorner quickly found that the congregation’s acceptance and understanding did not apply to the transsexual or transgender community.

“I left that church because there were some women who had issues with my gender,” she remembered.

“I gave up on God because of all the issues I had.”

That all changed when a friend told Dorner about the United Church of Christ. She looked into the church and found a congregation in neighboring Downers Grove. It was St. Paul’s.

After attending a service and speaking with the pastor, Dorner said everything clicked.

“I was open about what I was doing, and everybody at the church was so loving, so accepting, whether they were senior citizens, middle-aged, young adults, male or female,” she said. “I finally found a home there.”

For Dorner, this new home and last month’s Supreme Court ruling are signs that society is moving in the right direction.

She said she feels younger people are a little more tolerant and said they will eventually be the majority.

“I think the climate in the country is changing,” she said.

More so, the ruling means that Dorner, who is bisexual, can enjoy the same rights as heterosexual

couples.

“Now, I know if I find Mr. or Ms. right, I can get married,” she added.

Despite same-sex marriage being legal in the state of Illinois since June of last year, both Dorner and Moore recognize the significance of the Supreme Court ruling. It means that marriages performed in Illinois are now recognized by all 50 states.

“It affirms that when they’re

married at St. Paul’s and they go on vacation somewhere else, their marriage is still legal,” said Moore, who added that he recognizes society and the Christian faith have a long way to go in terms of equality for the LGBT community.

He said some people who call themselves Christians are angered over the Supreme Court’s decision and carry prejudices toward the LGBT community, but said that does not reflect the United Church of Christ.

“St. Paul’s doesn’t play that game; we never have played that game,” he said. “We affirm people as people who are worthwhile in the sight of God and in the sight of all people. Their status as human beings is beautiful, not something to be ashamed of at all.”

The church is one of several places of worship in Downers Grove, including sister congregation First Congregational United Church of Christ, that have adopted a policy of acceptance toward gays and lesbians. Service is held every Sunday at 10 a.m. at the church, 5739 Dunham Road. For more information, visit its website at www.stpaulsuccdg.org.

Village News

Downers Grove to create committee on historic preservation

By Joan Rykal for the bugle

nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

While in agreement that the village’s historic preservation ordinance is in need of changes, the Downers Grove Village Council voted against making any amendments for now.

Instead, the council is expected to create an ad hoc committee that will focus on historic preservation.

A motion to amend the historic preservation ordinance was voted down in a 5-2 vote at the village’s July 7 meeting.

That vote ended discussion for now on proposed changes that

were suggested by Commissioner Bob Barnett last fall. The village has had an ordinance in regard to historic preservation since 2007, but discussions over the effectiveness of that ordinance kicked into high gear last year, as residents tried to save the historic Edwards House. The Queen Annestyle home, built in the 1890s, was demolished in June to make way for a to make way for a 55-unit condominium building.

Barnett said the effectiveness of the ordinance has been less than desired.

“No historic district has been created and no homes have been protected,” he said at the July 7 meeting.

Commissioner Greg Hose is also in favor of the changes.

“I agree these can serve as an interim step,” he said. “Let’s give people the additional tools to preserve history. Let’s not make ‘perfect down the road the enemy of improvement now.’”

However, Commissioner David Olsen expressed concern that haste in making changes now might be an issue and feels the creation of an ad hoc committee, as well as further input from the village’s architectural design review board, is necessary.

A motion carried unanimously at the July 7 meeting to move forward with the creation of such a committee.

At its July 14 meeting, the village council heard a first reading for the creation of the committee from the village’s Planning Manager Stan Popovich.

Popovich indicated the committee would work with the architectural design review board and would be charged with proposing changes to the ordinance, as well as seeking ways to raising awareness and possibly increasing incentives. The overall goal of the committee is to increase landmarks and historic districts in the village If approved, Popovich said the committee would begin work Aug. 1 and have recommendations ready by the end of October.

The village council is expected to vote on the creation of the committee at its July 21 meeting.

At press time, the meeting had not yet occurred.

Mayor Martin Tully said he would bring a list of proposed appointments for the committee to the next council meeting.

Resident Christine Martin, who is also a member of the Friends of the Edwards House, a group that formed to try to save the historic home, said she is grateful for the creation of the ad hoc committee.

“This will bring awareness of how important preservation is,” she said. “Thank you for hearing us.”

MAP results show student progress By bugle staff nweditor@buglenewspapers.com @DownersGrvBugle

Results from the Measures of Academic Progress assessment are in, and Downers Grove Grade School District 58 says its students performed significantly better than the national average.

Matt Rich, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, presented results from this spring’s MAP assessment at the July 13 school board meeting.

District 58 students earned 34

percent more points than typicalmatched students during the 2014-15 school year. The MAP assessment results also showed District 58’s student growth exceeded the national average by significant margins, according to the district.

“This exceptional growth adds up year after year, well-preparing our students for high school, college and beyond,” Rich said. District 58 has used the MAP assessment for two full school years, and officials say it has provided extremely insightful information on student

progress and growth.

Unlike traditional testing, online MAP assessment creates a personalized assessment experience by adapting to each student’s learning level, according to the district. The more questions the student answers correctly, the harder the questions will get. For example, an advanced second grader could be answering questions well above his or her physical grade level.

District 58 says these results give teachers concrete ideas about their students’ achievement and

Fall street resurfacing underway Resurfacing is part of more than $8 million in community road repairs The village of Westmont started its 2015 motor-fuel tax street resurfacing project this week and work will continue through the fall.

In 2014, the village approved a street resurfacing plan that will ultimately invest more than $8 million in community road repairs over a three-year period.

The project is in its second year.

An independent engineering firm, Infrastructure Management Services Inc., was contracted in 2012 to perform a Laser Dynaflect study of all roadways in the community to create an initial assessment of road repairs.

This study, along with public works staff recommendations, was used to create the list of streets to be resurfaced during this project.

2015 Fall MFT Street Resurfacing Projects

- 61st Street – Williams Street to Fairview Avenue - 59th Street – Cass Avenue to Cumnor - Lincoln Street – Quincy Street to 55th Street - Williams Street – 63rd Street to Aspen Lane (on 67th Street) - Cove Court – Williams Street to West End - Tracey Court – Williams Street to West End - Falcon Place – Cass Avenue to East End - East Cass Avenue Alley – Alley East of Cass Avenue (55th Street to Linden)

growth, helping them to correctly differentiate their learning opportunities.

“They can knowledgeably intervene with students below grade level and provide enrichment to challenge students above grade level,” District 58 spokeswoman Megan Hewitt said in a release.

Rich noted that MAP assessment trends indicate students’ growth often stagnates or even declines during the summer, despite making significant academic strides during the school year.

To combat this summer regression, District 58 created age-appropriate summer learning expectations and opportunities to help students maintain what they learned during the school year.

The district said students and families took advantage of the summer learning opportunities and expectations, with 2,000

students opting in to the online summer enrichment program, 674 students joining the district’s summer school program and 72 parent-organized book clubs.

Strategic goals action plan Assistant Superintendent for Personnel Jayne Yudzentis also presented a progress report on the district’s 2014-15 strategic goals action plan and previewed the 2015-16 plan.

District 58 made significant progress on its goals, according to its 2014-15 Strategic Goals Action Plan End-of-Year Report.

Fire protection district achieves Class 2 insurance rating The Darien-Woodridge Fire Protection District announced it earned a Public Protection Class 2 rating by the Insurance Services Office, putting it in the top 2 percent in the nation for its ability

to respond to emergencies.

Since 1992, the district held a PPC 3 rating, with the last rating done in 2005.

Of the 2,408 fire protection agencies in Illinois, Darien-

Woodridge is now among 71 that hold a Class 2 rating. Nationwide there are 917 Class 2 departments out of the 49,000 agencies that ISO rates. There only three agencies that have a Class 1 rating in Illinois.

“The District’s employees put forth an immense amount of time and effort for this evaluation and achieving a Class 2 rating is

a significant achievement,” the district said in a release.

The evaluation process examines water supply, training, vehicle and station locations, dispatch, fire prevention, and public education, among other areas.

Homeowners in parts of Darien, Woodridge and unincorporated Downers Grove have the potential to save on their insurance

premiums as a result of the new rating. Business and commercial property owners can expect a significant decrease.

The district said it will study the report from the evaluation in detail to identify and make changes to areas that can be improved, provided those areas are something the district has control over.

salaries for life. These “ghost payroll” employees account for the current pension crisis the state is experiencing.

How are they “ghost payrolls?”

When an employee with a public pension retires, the cost of some portion of their salary, up to 75 percent of their last year salary average, Government transparency stays on the payroll as a pension is more than just a posted cost. They’re not there anymore, agenda, an open meeting but taxpayers continue to pay and following the law. for them.

Why would the Niles library pile on to big things.

It’s also why the Niles Public Library’s an already destructive situation?

It’s ideologically driven government that is causing so much destruction in our modern society. We don’t elect representatives so they can go and do whatever they want. True representatives are supposed to do what we want. Now they cannot know each of our minds and hence must serve the general welfare, not their narrow personal political views.

Doing that amounts to a petty tyranny.

If they were honest and felt good about their decisions then they’d be happy to make clear to the public what they were doing. But a new pension doesn’t make more materials available, doesn’t improve the customer experience and therefore it doesn’t improve anything for patrons and puts an enormous burden on working families and senior citizens.

People already burdened with existing high taxes driven by the very same ideology on pensions. Keep in mind that these pensions started out promising to ‘save money’ and not be a burden. We know how that lie turned out.

Even if by any stretch of the imagination you believed that the library’s full-time staff deserves more money for retirement, we all already know that public pensions aren’t the way to go. Feel free to be as generous with the retirement match as you want. Raise it up to 15, 20, 25 percent of their existing salary, but no more unfunded, open-ended liabilities forced on us by an unelected bureaucracy. Keep the local control and make certain it benefits the public welfare in general.

Isn’t that the whole reason we even hold elections in the first place? These people are supposed to be our friends and neighbors. Why are Niles library board members Linda Ryan, Karen Dimond, Barbara Nakinishi, Patti Rozanski and Tim Spadoni ignoring us – their friends and neighbors – and acting in such a secretive way? If you know them, ask them why they’re being so tricky.

WORLD CHAMPS RETURN HOME U.S. World Cup winners return to Lisle By maRk gRegoRy sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @hear_the_Beard

A sellout crowd of more than 3,500 people packed the stadium at Benedictine University in Lisle to see the four members of the Women’s World Cup championship team return to Chicago and take their place back with the NWSL-leading Chicago Red Stars.

While not all of the honorees played in the match, U.S. defendermidfielder and Red Stars captain Lori Chalupny tallied the lone Chicago goal in the 53rd minute, as Chicago played to a 1-1 tie with the visiting Boston Breakers.

Joining Chalupny was defender Julie Johnston, forward Christen Press and veteran midfielder Shannon Boxx, who has announced her plans to retire at the end of the season. The Red Stars also honored their four World Cup players from other countries. The Canadian trio of Melissa Tancredi, Adriana Leon and Karina LeBlanc were recognized, as was New Zealand’s Abby Erceg.

Being her final season, Boxx is soaking in the moments following the Cup championship.

“The ticker tape parade was amazing. Not everyone is allowed to do that, not everyone is given the honor to do that,” said Boxx, who also was a member of the 2012 Olympic silver medal team. “I have been around for a long time and I think that was one of the coolest events that I have ever been part of.”

Despite having a league-high eight players in Canada for the World Cup, the Red Stars players that were with the team held tough and have the Stars atop the league, giving the four Americans a shot at a second

“When I got back to Chicago and I put all my stuff down, I just felt this rush of emotion again. Now I’m back, now I’m starting this new chapter, but it’s always exciting,” Press said. “This team has done phenomenal while

we were gone, and that puts us in a great position to start to dream again, to start to dream about winning the NWSL. We’re all here because we love to play and all of our mindsets are going be on the NWSL and winning the title.”

While they play to win, Press said

even the champions play to inspire.

“A lot of us play so that the young girls can look at our team and go ‘I can do that,’” she said. “That’s why I thought the ticker tape parade was so special, because we looked down in the crowd and there were girls there, and I could see it in their eyes,

‘I want this,’ and they can. That is the future. The future is the fact that they can be better than us and they can push the game.”

It I was eager to go back to was almost a par-6 and Chicago and check out the there was fescue off the other Harborside Course – rough, as was the case on the Port Course. many holes.

As Mark Gregory and I Finally getting some help were driving to the course, taylor’s take by scott taylor from the wind, the par-4 we could feel the intense third hole was playing just wind from the highway, so we knew we would be in for a windy 337. However, you have to carry the fairway bunkers on the left or if you hit afternoon near the lake. it right can end up in those bunkers.

And, it was just that.

Throughout the round the wind There are more bunkers on the right came into play and it was more into side of the green.

The fourth hole is a 179-yard parthe face than playing with the wind.

The course started right away with a 3, which has a huge bunker all along hole into the wind with a bit of a cross the right side of a narrow green. The wind. That knocked down my drive to green slants left to right, so a bailout to the 346-yard opening hole (from the the hill on the left makes it a hard upregular tees, 423 from the tournament and-down as the green will slope away tees) to more than 150 yards out for from you.

Several more bunkers come into my approach.

The green has three bunkers to the play on the right on the fifth hole and I short and left, and Mark found that was the one that hit two in succession out the hard way, as he found all three this time off the fairway. There are more bunkers surrounding the green. of them on successive shots.

The sixth hole is a short par-3 at After a morning of rain, the bunkers were hard, making them difficult to 115 yards and played into the wind play on. Unfortunately, there are a and that was followed by a straight lot of bunkers on the course, so in par-4 seventh hole that had a bunker many cases, they played like a stroke guarding the left of the green and a

bunch of tall grass to the right of the fairway.

Hole No. 8 had bunkers nearly the entire way down the left side of the hole, including one that snuck into the fairway, which I found. I managed to get the one on the green, somehow.

The ninth hole is a 485-yard par-5 that has a green on a left angle, making it hard to reach in two as, you guessed it, bunkers are numerous in front of the green.

The back nine begins with a par4 and then moves to a par-5, which has a partially blind tee shot. Bunkers surround the green and one is to the right of the layup area.

The 12th is a long dogleg right where you can cut off some distance if you are a long hitter and can carry the bunkers. The fairway narrows near the green, making the approach shot more difficult.

Another short par-3 follows, which is right over a large bunker. That is followed by a long par-3 that has the bunkers in the form of an anchor in front of the green.

The 16th hole heads to the lake and it goes out into the fairway on the short par-4. You can’t bail out right though as there are bunkers scattered throughout. The water goes right up to the green, so you have to be accurate on your approach shot.

The lake comes into play again on 17 as the fairway is a dogleg left

around the lake. You can try to cut off the dogleg but could end up in the water or another bunker just over the lake. It plays to another narrow green surrounded by bunkers.

The closing hole features Lake Calumet along the left of the narrow fairway. Your third shot plays to a green protected to the left by water and bunkers on both sides. The green is shared with the 18th green on the Starboard Course.

Overall I liked the course, but it wasn’t quite up to the Starboard’s level until the final stretch of holes.

That final stretch rivals the Palmer Course at Lake Geneva for the best closing stretch of holes I have played.

The bunkers and fescue force you to be accurate or you will pay for it. The greens were in good shape and were fairly fast.

Harborside was promoting a special where you could get a membership for $150 and get the first round free. If you play the course 3-5 times a year, it would be a great deal I feel.

As is, the course is the same cost as the Starboard, at $87 during the peak of the day, with a $75 fee in the morning and $56 after 3 p.m.

I would recommend playing both courses and trying to play in the evening if possible as the lowering sun and cheaper cost is a great combination for a pair of nice golf courses.

Illinois Women’s Open returns to Mistwood A talented field of golfers will gather once again at Mistwood Golf Club to compete in the The Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open (IWO) July 27-29.

The premier women’s golf event for professionals and amateurs in Illinois celebrates its 21st year when it returns to Mistwood, the award-winning recently renovated course that has hosted the championship since 1999.

“We are very excited to once again be hosting these top female

champs | from page 7 up close and even get an autograph after the game, however, the Red Stars sign for fans regularly for young fans – something they know is important to continue to grow the sport.

“It’s in people’s hometowns and people can come and watch us play,” Chalupny said. “Hopefully, that’ll continue the momentum.”

Press hopes fans who may have been created by the World Cup

players here at Mistwood,” said Dan Phillips, director of marketing at Mistwood.

BMO Harris Bank returns as a sponsor for the four-day event, which starts with a pro-am on July 26. Proceeds from the pro-am will benefit The Chicago Friends of Golf Foundation, and the 2015 Joseph A. Kosin IWO Scholarship winners will be honored at a Champions Dinner.

The field, which will include 2011 champion Jenna Pearson,

a Wheaton professional, will then compete over three days and 54-holes for a purse yet to be announced. Emily Collins, a University of Oklahoma golfer from Texas, won last year’s championship. A host of talented amateurs are in the field, including Jessica Yeun of Naperville, the 2013 IHSA girls golf state champion who receives instruction at Mistwood.

Mistwood owner Jim McWethy continues to enhance the facility

that he has been improving on for the past few years when he completed the renovation and the new performance center, which was recognized as the “Best U.S. Renovation You Can Play” by GOLF Magazine, and one of “America’s 100 Best Clubfitters”

by Golf Digest respectively. Next year the women will be looking forward to the new Mistwood clubhouse scheduled to open this fall.

“We are very proud of the

reputation we have developed for the IWO,” Phillips said. “With the continued improvements being made to Mistwood and the tradition of excellence we have developed, the IWO has become one of the premier golf tournaments in the Chicago area.”

For more information about the Illinois Women’s Open, contact Mistwood Golf Club at (815) 2543333 or visit www.mistwoodgc. com.

continue to come out and support the game.

“I think this is an incredibly important moment for women’s soccer. We have had such a great ride through the summer and we are hoping to continue it. We hope our fans that have supported us continue to come out to the NWSL games and see that there are hundreds of women in this country that play great soccer and it is something worth watching.

If the fans continue to support us in the league, it will continue to push women’s soccer forward from the national level to the club level and all the way down. This is a special moment and we want to continue to move forward and never go back. We have worked really hard to get here and the future is bright.”

The National Team players will be seen more, as they will begin to log normal minutes for the Red Stars in

the final nine games remaining in the NWSL regular season, as well as in the playoffs.

The Stars return home Aug. 1 against FC Kansas City.

They welcome in World Cup champion Christie Rampone and Sky Blue FC Aug. 12 and Ali Krieger and the Washington Spirit on Aug. 16.

Chimera’s Comics celebrates official grand opening Just after Marvel Comics breaks the box office with “AntMan,” a film about its smallest superhero, Chimera’s Comics will break onto the scene in Woodridge with its biggest event. The store will kick off its grand opening weekend Friday, July 24, with a ribbon cutting ceremony open to the public. The ribbon cutting will take place at 4:30 p.m. and refreshments will be provided.

“I’m glad the ribbon cutting is open to all so we can greet the customers I know will be our future friends,” co-founder Carmelo Chimera said.

Chimera said he’s planned a whole weekend of events, including a sale, charity raffle and a Kid’s Day scheduled for Sunday.

“We have facepainting, food and best of all a special appearance from your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man,” Chimera said, describing the Kid’s Day event. “Spidey’s a great guy. He loves posing for pictures with the kids, and it makes their day.”

Additionally, local artist Gene Ha will be on hand to meet fans, sign his work and discuss comics.

“We’re very lucky to have Gene with us for the grand opening,” co-founder Steven Brown said.

“With [Gene’s] most recent success using Kickstarter to fund his next project, he’s a very busy guy. But he loves comics and his fans, and we couldn’t ask for a nicer professional to join us.”

The store will also raffle off a set of Justice League action figures based on the art of local artist Alex Ross.

Chimera’s said the proceeds from the auction will be donated to Books For Troops.

“Books for Troops is a nonprofit organization that sends books, DVDs and comics to our brave soldiers overseas,” store manager Nick Bade said. “We love partnering with them and do it every year.

The proceeds from this raffle will go to pay for shipping the donations to our troops.”

Tips for a successful school year Family members should share their schedules with each other (StatePoint) When the school year begins, students need to quickly get back into the swing of things. Staying organized from day one can ease the transition.

While every individual needs to tweak his or her routine to best suit personality quirks and study habits, here are a few tried-and-true organization tricks that will work for most anyone:

Get Scheduled While the word “bedtime” may have no meaning on summer vacation, during the school year, it is vital. A regular sleep schedule can mean better quality sleep and higher alertness at school. Likewise, a morning routine can help students focus and prep for the day.

Family members should share their schedules with each other to ensure everyone gets to practice, club meetings

and other activities on time. Install a household calendar or bulletin board in a central location to ensure everyone stays in the know.

Stomp out Clutter Lockers and backpacks need to stay organized. Whether notebooks, binders and textbooks are arranged by sequence of the day, subject or color isn’t important so long as the system works for you. To create more storage space in your locker, add durable, stackable locker shelving.

For on-the-go book hauling, look for a backpack such as the Five Star Expandable Backpack that features two expanding compartments providing additional space, along with protected storage for laptops.

Its patented zipper allows you to quickly get inside your backpack while it is hanging in your locker. Ergonomic patent-pending straps distribute weight to comfortably support a heavy load.

To cheer up your locker with a boost of color and add a place for quick reminders and mementos, try the Five Star Magnetic Mirror + Push Pin Board. Its slam-resistant magnets will keep it affixed to the inside

Students need to be able to keep more belongings than ever with them throughout the day -traditional school supplies, paperwork, flash drives, calculators and other electronics.

door of your locker. There isn’t much time between classes, so a mirror is a welcome locker feature when there isn’t time for the bathroom.

Organizational tools such as these can keep your ducks in a row all year long.

Also remember to set time aside weekly to clean out your locker and backpack, throwing out candy wrappers and crumpled notes.

Personal Organization Students need to be able to keep more belongings than ever with them throughout the day -- traditional school supplies, paperwork, flash drives, calculators and other electronics. A binder that can contain it all will give students a chance to make sure their lives are in order, not just a class at a time. For a secure method of carrying supplies, look for the Trapper Keeper Zipper binder, with pockets and dividers to keep items organized, and the Five Star Zipper Binder + Expansion Pocket, which features storage for textbooks and a tablet, and has an adjustable strap that allows you to carry the binder messenger style or on your back.

At home, it’s easy to get distracted from important tasks like studying and homework. Create a dedicated work space away from televisions and other distractions. Make sure the area is comfortable, well-lit and conducive to great work.

Ease into the Schedule Ease the back-to-school transition by keeping bedtime and meals scheduled during the summer and adjusting timing as school approaches. If your child has been going to bed later than usual, begin adjusting his or her bedtime earlier toward the end of summer. Depending on age, children and teens need between 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep nightly.

For young children, arranging to see their new classroom and meet their new teacher before school starts can calm first day jitters. Go over the school schedule with your child, including how she will get to school and what the plans are for after school time.

Schedule a Pediatric Visit The back-to-school season is a good time for scheduling a pediatric exam.

Create a list of items you want to discuss with your child’s pediatrician. This list should include ensuring your child is upto-date on vaccinations, a crucial part of preventive care.

It’s a good idea to build a medical home with a pediatrician by sticking with one doctor or medical practice throughout childhood and adolescence. The doctor will be better informed of your child’s medical history and aware of any emerging problems.

Beyond medical testing, pediatricians are well-equipped to counsel patients and parents on emotional and social issues, as well as issues that often crop up during adolescence, such as smoking, drugs, drinking, sexual activity and depression.

How to save on school supplies · Be patient. Shopping early can save shoppers money in many instances, but parents may benefit by exercising patience when it comes to buying school supplies for their children. Teachers often give students lists of supplies they will need for each class, and parents who wait to receive such lists can avoid spending money on items their kids won’t need. Even if you wait it out, you may be able to get a head start, as some teachers may post supply lists on school websites, while others might email lists to parents before back to school season hits full swing. · Take inventory. If you have more than one child, chances are you already have lots of school supplies around the house.

Dust off kids’ backpacks and study areas from last school year to determine which supplies you need to buy and which you already have. Going forward, encourage kids to store their supplies in a predetermined area once the school year ends, as this will make next year’s inventory that much easier to examine and assess. · Spend more now to save later.

While inexpensive supplies can be hard to resist, such items likely won’t withstand the test of time, forcing you to spend time and money each year buying replacement supplies. Paying more now for certain items, including stronger backpacks and more highly rated calculators, may end up saving you money in the long run, even if the initial pill is somewhat tough to swallow. · Use technology to your advantage.

Department stores and businesses that sell school supplies, such as pharmacies and office stores, may or may not discount too many items once back to school season hits full swing.

But savvy parents can still find deals by using technology to their advantage when shopping for school supplies.

Download apps like RetailMeNot to your smartphone and enable its updates so your phone essentially notifies you of any discounts the moment you walk into a given store. If you don’t receive any updates, search for discounts via the app or the Internet as you shop. Chances are strong that there are deals to be had, even if you don’t learn of the deals until you arrive at the store.
