Sky-lighters Behind the scenes of a fireworks show

“It reaches a height of anywhere between 120, 150 feet.

It detonates up there with a secondary fuse, which creates what we call the break or the pattern.”

Some of the tubes point directly upward, while others are angled.

“Everyone else likes to shoot it straight up … It’s all going in one area,” Miller said.

“The sky is our canvas and we paint the entire canvas. It’s not just one splotch.”

So they all launch together, each of the strings attached to the finale fireworks have to be tied together with masking tape, which takes a while. It’s all for those final seconds of amazement. Miller ends his show by flipping a switch on a control board 75 feet away, connected to the racks holding the finale shells by a wire.

Watching Diedrick set off each firework – his head a foot or so from the launching tube – scares you almost each time.

But Miller said the professional fireworks industry has become almost foolproof over the

Before the show, Miller met with local fire and city officials to measure a fenced-off area 210 feet from the launch zone in each direction. He gauged the wind throughout the day to make sure the fireworks wouldn’t drift too close to the homes on either side of the park. Pleasantview Fire Protection District officials observed Miller’s setup process.

“A lot of its common sense,”Miller said. “But if you’re not instructed the right way, the mistakes are unforgivable.”

COUNTRYSIDE – Visible by the red glow of the highway flare clutched in his right hand, Jason Diedrick bent over and reached for the next fuse on the line.

He lit it, then quickly stood tall, stepped back and turned his shoulders away from the tube as it launched a 3-inch-diameter shell into the night sky.

The firework detonated with a crack, shooting color in all directions. Onlookers exhaled “oooohs” and “whoaaaas,” by which time Diedrick already was igniting the next one.

“I’ve yet to find a disappointed audience that boos you,” said Dan Miller of Mad

Bomber Fireworks Productions, which put on the first fireworks show in Countryside Friday, following one of the city’s Concerts in the Park at Countryside Park. The show was sponsored by the city and the Park District of La Grange.

Setup started at 5:30 p.m. for the 9 p.m. show. Two rows of homemade wooden racks separated by about 50 feet held hundreds of tubes, made of either cardboard or high-density polyethylene. Miller, his son, Don, and Diedrick stuff each firework shell into its launching tube individually, and Miller uses a stick to make sure the shells are flush with the bottom of the tubes.

“It’s got to be flush on the bottom so the lift charge on

BROOKFIELD – Community Support Services opened an integrated learning center last week that will provide people with disabilities a range of classes similar to what a park district might offer.

The CSS Academy, 3732 Grand Blvd., is housed in a renovated 4,000-square-foot facility containing two classrooms separated by a soundproof wall.

The academy is the first of its kind for CSS, which serves more than 700 individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their families.

CSS clients live in 57 communities in western Cook and eastern DuPage counties.

“For our current clients, it’s going to be a great place to go after they’ve finished high school,” said Michelle Jimenez, CSS vice president of development and marketing. “It’s really targeted at age 22 or higher for individuals with disabilities who want continuous learning after they finish high school.”

A few of the classes offered include Acting 101, Baseball for Beginners, Computer Basics,

Interview Training, Sewing 101 and Latin Energy Zumba. A couple of classes, such as cooking and art, are offered by CSS, but most of them are new, with new instructors being hired to teach them. Although CSS serves people with disabilities, the classes will be open to everyone. “[They will] help individuals realize the abilities of people with disabilities,” Jimenez said.

A survey of CSS clients’ families indicated there was a void in activities for clients age 22 and older, which led to the creation of the academy.

“Once they are done with high school, if they’re not working, it can be a very lonely time of trying to fill the days,” Jimenez said.

Fees from classes also will allow CSS to move toward becoming a for-profit organization at some point, Jimenez said.

CSS hopes to offer about 30 classes a week and is currently accepting registrations, with classes expected to start Monday. Visit www.CSSservices. org or call 708-354-4547 to register or for information.

COUNTRYSIDE – The city of Countryside is planning a new multi-use path parallel to Brainard Avenue, which is a main entryway to Countryside and city parks, but does not have a sidewalk.

The City Council adopted a resolution July 24 supporting an application for a state grant that would help fund the $1.1 million project.

The path would be paved and would run along Brainard Avenue from Joliet Road to 55th Street. There would be a few feet of land between the road and the path, which would link with a sidewalk the

city is installing from Countryside Park west to Brainard Avenue.

Currently, residents who visit the park for events such as Concerts in the Park, are forced to walk home on the street, said Sharon Peterson, assistant city administrator.

The grant is sought through the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program, which has $50 million to award to 54 projects in the state. It would fund 80 percent of Countryside’s project.

In 2012, the city created an active transportation plan that allows it to apply for grants like the one it hopes to obtain for the new path.

INDIAN HEAD PARK – A deadly heroin overdose July 23 was the village’s second in the past four weeks, and third in the past two months.

Gregory A. Melzer, 22, of Channahon, died at 11:17 a.m. July 23 at La Grange Memorial Hospital after friends found him unconscious in bed in the basement of a residence in the 11000 block of Arrowhead Drive.

A woman at the house said Melzer and three others had bought 10 bags of heroin in Cicero earlier in the day.

They then took turns injecting heroin in the basement bathroom.

A man at the house spoke to Melzer at 10 p.m. the night before and heard him snoring early July 23. When Melzer stopped snoring, the man removed his blanket and saw that his face was blue. He then performed CPR on Melzer until paramedics arrived.

Melzer was transferred to the hospital and pronounced dead at 11:17 a.m.

Later that day, the man who performed CPR on Melzer, Aaron Ashby, 27, of Danville, was arrested and charged for driving under the influence of drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a hypodermic needle and improper lane usage. He was arrested at 1:55 p.m.

Police still are waiting for the toxicology report to confirm a heroin overdose as the official cause of death. The investigation is ongoing, but police do not expect to charge anyone in connection with Melzer’s death.

On June 27, Mario P. Cavaliere, 24, of the 2200 block of South Sixth Avenue, Riverside, died of a suspected heroin overdose in the 11000 block of West Edgebrook Lane. Police also are waiting for Cavaliere’s toxicology report.

LA GRANGE – AT&T is rolling out new look retail stores across the country, and the first one is opening in La Grange.

The phone and Internet provider has moved from its previous location at 34 N. La Grange Road to the first floor of 1 N. La Grange Road – the former home of Borders in La Grange.

AT&T picked the location as the first for its new store design because it was already moving into a new building and because of La Grange’s booming downtown.

“I’m very proud that we got to do this in La Grange,” said Dave Fine, vice president for AT&T Illinois and Wisconsin.

Designed to give customers a more comfortable shopping experience, the new store layout is without a traditional cash register countertop. Instead, a collection of spaced-out tables featuring different products make for a more natural interaction between employees and customers.

“People will ask questions when they’re sitting at the table that they would never ask standing because they felt pressure [to make room] for

the next customer,” Fine said.

The store’s orange walls are offset by wooden panels intended to make customers feel at home. A guitar stands vertically at the center of a table featuring music-related products, while a bucket of movie theater popcorn sits at the entertainment table.

Those features are combined with technology, including a dozen or so flat-panel screens scattered throughout the store.

“We know that technology can be intimidating to our customers,” Fine said. “We want customers to be able to walk in, immerse themselves with the products and feel comfortable asking the questions they might not [normally] feel comfortable asking.”

AT&T tested the design in a Milwaukee warehouse. It was created out of two years of research into customer experience, much of which came from the company’s Michigan Avenue store in Chicago. Currently, the design is being incorporated into 15 to 20 stores nationwide, with plans to redesign all of the company’s 2,300 retail locations.

“The transformation we’re making in retail is transaction to interaction,” Fine said.

Are you tired of driving miles to see your vet or board your pet?

Soon, your drive can be a short, convenient trip. On July 24, the Countryside City Council unanimously approved a Planned Unit Development proposal for the construction of the Countryside Veterinary Center, a 20,000-square-foot, COMMUNITY 24/7, full service animal VOICE hospital at 9825 W. 55th St. Bryan The project will be a Swanson collaboration between three veterinarians with 90 years of combined experience at 10 Chicago area animal care hospitals and clinics. The project will provide state of the art clinical evaluations and treatments including diagnostics, on-site lab work, digital radiology, ultrasound and various dental and surgical procedures. Additional services will include animal emergency and critical care, physical and laser therapy, rehabilitation, a retail area, a day care, training, boarding and grooming.

The project will provide 140 animal boarding suites, nine exam rooms, two surgical suites and one dental suite.

The owners also will work closely with rescue groups and humane societies to provide low cost services for the less fortunate. The project will create an initial 30 new full- and part-time jobs to the area.

The group chose 9825 W. 55th St. because they felt the greater Countryside area was vastly underserved, and because of the central location to many of the surrounding communities. The group also chose Countryside because of the business friendly atmosphere and proactive approach to commercial development.

Groundbreaking on the new center is scheduled for mid-September with a grand opening planned in May 2014.

The project will turn a blighted underutilized parcel of commercial property along 55th Street into a catalyst for future commercial redevelopment along the corridor.

Robert W. Edwards of RWE Management Company will serve as the project manager and to date has constructed more than 85 animal care facilities in the greater Chicago area.

Counting cups

Suburban Life* • mysuburbanlife.com • Wednesday, August 7, 2013 • CC

Wow, someone actually counted the plastic cups over the tollway. Seriously? Somebody has too much time on their hands.

Purchasing power No, children in strollers don’t buy things at craft fairs, but their parents do. If my children are not welcome, then neither is my wallet.

La Grange Road: Your stance is that anything would be good.

No, anything would not be good if it included apartments and multi-family housing.

La Grange and La Grange school districts are full. They don’t need Section 8 housing, which is inevitable once the economy tanks, which is going to happen at some point in the future. So please just go retail or Y, I hope they rebuild, perhaps their own facility on the space but no apartments.

A silent prayer Most people know that there are many ways to grieve. Everyone is allowed to do that in his or her own way. Personally, cups that spell out loving memories of a beautiful life cut short seems perfect to me. Every time I see them, I say a silent prayer.

I hope those young people continue their tribute for many years to come. No one has a right to criticize that which they obviously can’t understand.

Let property owners vote Now that Governor Quinn has said he will sign into law the bill authorizing DuPage County to charge a stormwater fee, it is interesting to recall that the Illinois General Assembly passed this bill for Peoria County and DuPage County. The bill provides an opportunity for Peoria County voters to vote on whether or not to permit their county to charge property owners the fee. But the bill does not give DuPage property owners the same power. Of course our County Board could let us vote on this. What are the odds of that happening?

Recently retired Westchester police chief leaves legacy

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com WESTCHESTER – April Padalik wanted to be a police officer as much as any toy gun-wielding little boy, but when she became one, that didn’t really matter.

Padalik grew up in Chicago and Berwyn watching cop shows such as Hill Street Blues and Police Woman. The oldest of six children, she took her role seriously.

“I was always told as the oldest that I was the protector … and that was ingrained heavily in my upbringing,” she said.

By 18, she was a security guard and undercover investigator at a mall in North Riv-

erside where she blended in well with young shoppers, helping her catch quite a few.

Soon, she landApril Padalik ed at the Chicago Police Academy, where she was one of about five women in a class of 30.

On weekends, she was assigned to the city’s Austin district. When she reported, her commander looked at her like she was insane. Later that night, she ran down two men who had tried to steal a vehicle in an alley. She wasn’t wearing a uniform, and when backup arrived, they thought she was one of the suspects.

“Already, I had a reputation when I came to Westchester,” Padalik said.

That was in 1983, the start of a 30-year career in the village.

In 2010, Padalik became Westchester’s first female chief of police, decades after becoming its first female officer.

“It was definitely the good old boy network,” said Padalik, who retired June 30. “The chief I had at the time was an old school product of the ’40s and ’50s and an ex-Marine. It was an experience. It was culture shock.

“I think a lot of people were waiting for me to fall on my face.”

That never happened. Padalik collected about 20 awards

Retired Westchester Police Chief April Padalik (left) poses with fellow officers. Padalik, who retired at the end of June, was the village’s first female police officer and chief. during her career and played a role in several high-profile cases, including the conviction of Omar Johnson in the 1996 murder of Dorothy Jewula at a KFC restaurant in Westchester.

“She held her own,” said Westchester Village President Sam Pulia, who was a fellow officer of Padalik’s for 20 years.

“I can recall a time she was in a traffic stop and the offender actually roundhoused her and knocked her to the ground. She got right back up and proceeded to use the necessary force to effect the arrest, pretty much all on her own.”

Most female police officers, however, don’t work for the full 30 years – when pension maximizes – that Padalik did, she said. Only 2 percent of female

police officers nationwide become chiefs, and Padalik was one of about five in Illinois, including Western Springs’ Pam Church.

“I think women start out in the profession and as we progress, [we] become mothers and marry and try to have a family,” Padalik said. “It’s a difficult career for anyone … to balance the schedule.”

Padalik, 53, now wants to work in the corporate world, possibly a management role in retail security. But for now, she’s taking some time to catch her breath and get things done at her Lemont home.

“I am very action-oriented.

I am a very hyper person,” she said. “I don’t sit still long, even in my older years.”

Westchester to reimburse residents for flood-proofing

Suburban Life* • mysuburbanlife.com • Wednesday, August 7, 2013 • CC

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTCHESTER – A new flood-proofing assistance program is designed to help residents in a village that has experienced two 100-year floods in the past three years.

The program, approved by the Village Board at its meeting July 23, will offer up to $1,500 to residents who have plumbing work done to prevent sewage from flowing into their house when the village’s sewer system is full, which occurred during heavy rains in April and 2010.

The village will cover 50 percent of costs up to $1,500 for three types of plumbing revisions: an overhead sewer, an interior or exterior backflow prevention valve and a lift station system with an inside or outside underground vault.

Permit fees also will be waived.

Residents must submit a quote from a contractor for their projects. If a project meets the program’s criteria, the village will conduct a building inspection before choosing the lowest quote given to the homeowner.

The program is retroactive to the April 18 flooding, meaning projects aimed at recovering from that flood will be considered.

“We definitely are committed to do something to help the residents,” Village Manager Janet Matthys said.

The first step for interested residents is establishing an intent to participate in the program, which can be made in writing or by calling Community Development Director Melissa Headley at 708-345-0199.

eration by the village.

On July 22, the village heard a presentation from a representative of Laredo Hospitality, which offers restaurant and cafe concepts that feature video gaming terminals like video poker, slots and blackjack.

The cafe/bar would serve beer, wine and light food fare in an upscale environment and also would offer Wi-Fi, said Village Manager Janet Matthys.

“It would present an option if somebody enjoys gaming but doesn’t want to sit in a bar,” Matthys said.

The machines would have a limited payout of $500, and each game is limited to a $2 bet. No more than five machines are allowed per location.

Because the village would receive five percent of gambling revenue, it could bring in $30,000 to $40,000 a year, Matthys said, also including revenue from a food and beverage tax.

Laredo Hospitality has a location in Hoffman Estates and is building another in Melrose Park, Matthys said.

No plans have been approved, and the village will continue to explore the idea.

BURR RIDGE – John Glimco was named the new principal of Pleasantdale Middle School at a District 107 board meeting July 17.

Glimco was a physical education teacher and student services director at Lyons Township High School before working as a middle and high school principal.

He was recommended by a search committee of two board members, three middle school teachers and two administrators.

Glimco started his new job Thursday.

Repairs to Metra station delayed

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Repairs to the La Grange Road train station won’t happen until at least next spring after Metra was unable to secure an emergency procurement for the current construction season.

The station, 25 W. Burlington Ave., received temporary repairs in December after a driver crashed a minivan through the building trying to back out of a parking space.

The driver wasn’t hurt, but a person in the station was hit by a brick and treated for injuries.

The crash damaged the southwest corner of the building, which then was considered unstable.

Hoping to repair the station this year, Metra applied for an emergency procurement but was denied. By the time the contract is approved, it will be too late for changes to be made this year, Reile said.

Future repairs will involve matching the historical masonry of the station with new bricks.

Charles George Brieschke (Chuck), age 78, of Sandwich, formerly of Western Springs, passed away August 2, 2013.

Chuck was born in Detroit, Michigan, May 28, 1935. He graduated from Morton Township High School in 1953, and was drafted into the United States Army in 1958. Prior to his marriage to Nancy J. Dauer on October 28, 1961, he was drafted a second time to Fort Knox, Kentucky, and their married life began in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. After being honorably discharged, Chuck and Nancy moved back to La Grange, and Chuck began his career as a mechanic, and later as a shop manager for several major trucking lines. He retired from Conway Freight in 2000. Never one to sit for long, Chuck returned to work part time for Dale Johnson Farms, then moved on to Waubonsee Community College in the Automotive Technology Department. Chuck's lifetime love of engines of every kind was known to all. “Cubes,” a nickname from his younger years, was always ready to help family and friends with car or home repairs. His ever present love for swimming and boating was exceeded only by his love of building and flying RC planes. Over the years, he held several offices in both the Palos RC Flying Club and more recently the RC Dusters.

Chuck is survived by his loving wife, Nancy, his son, Michael, his daughter, Caryn and four grandchildren, Emily, Katie, Sam and Nate.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Ruth Brieschke and his sister, Glennel Nygren.

Visitation with family will take place at Beverage Family Funeral Home 104 Terry Street, Sandwich, IL, Thursday, August, 8, 2013, at 11:00 a.m., followed by a memorial service at noon.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the family for distribution to organizations that Chuck supported.

Restaurant reviews

Charm and character highlight Public Landing Public Landing is a restaurant rich in character.

Its charming setting and classic upscale fare surely are enough to attract those with an appetite, but the history ingrained in the Lockport eatery’s limestone walls truly sets it apart.

It inhabits the first level of the historic Gaylord Building, a limestone warehouse constructed in 1838, that played a vital role in one of the great enterprises of the 19th century: the digging of the 96-mile-long Illinois & Michigan Canal.

Nestled between the canal, a railway and a park, the building provides a local history lesson to Public Landing diners. Murals on the walls of the building’s entrance explain its significance to mid-1800s trade, while engraved stones just outside the restaurant’s patio offer a glimpse into how the waterway was born. President Abraham Lincoln played a big role.

My companion and I spent a recent summer night at Public Landing. Dinner came first, followed by a relaxing walk through Lincoln Landing Park, a terrace along the canal just south of the Gaylord Building.

Inside, diners are treated to a lovely window view of the restaurant patio, park and terrace overlooking the canal. Of course, you get the sense you’re dining in history: Wooden beams line the restaurant ceiling, and the limestone bricks show through to the interior.

After we were seated, a veteran server greeted us kindly before bringing out warm pretzel bread with our appetizer, the House Made Chips.

The app, tossed with Romano cheese and sea salt and flanked by a ranch dipping sauce, was both tasty and a bargain.

For our entrees, I went with the Char Broiled Pork Tenderloin, while my companion opted for the Blackened Mahi Mahi, served over a roasted red pepper coulis and complemented with zucchini and yellow squash.

The pork tenderloin was

A family affair

LSL Photo provided by Michael Hudson/Wheaton College Athletics

Wheaton College David Suominen (right) works against a North Central College offensive lineman in a game between the two rivals last fall. Suominen has followed several family members in attending the school.

David Suominen keeps tradition alive with Wheaton College football

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com WHEATON – Plenty of families have long lines of graduates from universities and colleges.

In the case of Lyons Township graduate and La Grange Park native David Suominen, his family line is Wheaton College. Suominen added to the already long list of family members to attend the school and is heading into his junior season with the Wheaton College football team.

“Both my parents went to

Wheaton and a couple of my uncles and an aunt went to Wheaton and my grandpa did, too,” Suominen said. “I even had a couple cousins go there.

[Wheaton] showed interest in me for the football team. I had interest in it, and my parents were very supportive. It worked out quite nice.”

Suominen cracked the starting lineup last season at defensive end after four seniors graduated on the defensive line in 2011 and a pair of injuries in summer camp opened up spots. He registered 16 tackles and shared

the team lead with four quarterback hits.

The adjustment from high school football to college caught Suominen by surprise, but he is settling in.

“I wasn’t quite sure how the competition would be, but Division III is no joke,” he said. “It was a surprise, but I was happy with the coaches at Wheaton and the team.

Just the camaraderie around the guys and the atmosphere around the whole team is awesome.”

One thing that helped Suominen in the transition

from high school to college was his time at LT. Suominen went from one winning program to another. The Lions made the Class 8A quarterfinals during his senior year.

The Thunder have gone 8-2 in each of Suominen’s two years on campus.

“Wheaton has been really successful over the past decade,” he said. “It’s been an awesome transition just to see how hard you have to work and sacrifice to be a good team in D-III.” Part of Wheaton’s success last year included a 35-21 win

over rival North Central.

It was the first win over the Naperville school since 2007 and gave the Thunder the Little Brass Bell, the trophy that goes to the winner of the annual football game.

Suominen mentioned keeping the bell as one of the team’s top goals this season.

“As a team our goals are always to win a CCIW championship, keep the Little Brass Bell we got last year by beating North Central and to win the [Division III] championship at the Stagg Bowl,” he said.

The power conference CCIW football emerges as a premier D-III league

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com North Central College’s football team has won or tied for a conference title the past seven seasons.

But head coach John Thorne knows maintaining that kind of success in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin will only get harder.

“I think the conference has gotten more and more competitive,” said Thorne, who is heading into his 12th season at NCC. “The coaches in place are having good success recruiting people and everybody is competitive. Nobody wants the next program to get ahead of them.”

That’s easier said than done.

During Thorne’s tenure, six of the eight schools in the CCIW have won or taken a share of the conference title.

North Central and Wheaton College have won outright titles while Augustana, Elmhurst, Illinois Wesleyan and Carthage have tied for titles.

Wheaton College head coach Mike Swider has spent nearly 30 years coaching in the CCIW and has seen the overall competition get better in the NCAA Division III conference.

“The conference has always been strong, but from top to bottom it has gotten stronger,” Swider said. “From top to bottom, the conference is as good as there is in the country.

If you are picking the four or five top conferences, no doubt the CCIW is in there.”

To gauge just how high the level of play is, Swider points to a specific area. As a conference, CCIW teams are 16-1 in the first round of the playoffs since 2001.

CCIW Record 6-1 6-1 6-1 4-3 3-4 2-5 1-6 0-7

“That tells you a lot,” he said. “Our conference always wins the first playoff game and that gives you credibility.”

In terms of recruiting, CCIW schools compete with other Division II and III schools, NAIA institutions and players that receive walk-on offers from Division I schools. The competition for players can be fierce, but Division III schools are looking for a different type of student-athlete than the Division I scholarship athlete.

“I think one of the things that I set off to do once I took the program over was to have excellence not only on the football field, but not to sacrifice the academic model,” said first-year Elmhurst College coach Joe Adam. “We’re not going to compromise academics for guys that can play the game well.”

The schools in the CCIW are private institutions, which adds another speed bump on the recruiting trail.

NAIA schools can offer scholarships, and the smaller state schools in Wisconsin, such as perennial D-III contender Wisconsin-Whitewater, are public institutions with lower tuition rates.

For local players who are serious about school and are interested in playing compet-

“Around the Chicagoland area, there are some great high school football players

and only so many guys can go Division I,” North Central senior Shane Dierking said.

“Plus the CCIW has outstanding coaching staffs and out-

standing institutions where you can get a great education as well as be a part of great athletic programs. Why not sign the papers?”

ELMHURST – Last season Elmhurst College football made the playoffs for the first time in school history.

The Bluejays won a share of the CCIW title for the first time since 1980 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III playoffs.

After the season coach Tim Lester moved on to Syracuse to be the quarterbacks coach and Joe Adam, who was the defensive coordinator, replaced him. Among the challenges facing Adam in his first season is replacing running back Scottie Williams, who won the Gagliardi Award for best player in Division III last season.

SUBURBAN LIFE: What did it mean to you to take over as head coach?

JOE ADAM: Dream come true. It really has been. It’s been such a blessing and it’s been fun putting it together for me and the coaching staff trying to raise the bar for what we did last year.

SL: How do you follow up such a successful year like last year?

JA: I think you start by understanding that that’s how the culture is here now and will continue to be. When we set up to put this thing together it was with this very point in mind that we would have a

team that would be able to contend on a consistent basis, not just a one-hit wonder. It took a bit longer than we would like, but we are to the point where we expect to win.

SL: How has the transition from assistant to head coach been?

JA: I think for me it was an easy transition because I’ve been the recruiting coordinator for almost five seasons now. I was very in tune to what we were looking for, the characteristics and traits we were looking for. We scour the country for not just anybody, but the right people that fit what we’re going to do here.

SL: How do you recruit for a Division III program?

JA: One of the things that I put a big onus on is work ethic here. I expect and I demand work ethic from the players.

It’s going to be work ethic that gets you into successful situations, whether it be here in college or in life. We measure that in a lot of different ways. We measure that in academics, in face-to-face communications and in interactions with our support staff.

SL: What makes the CCIW such a competitive conference?

JA: It’s Illinois football and it’s the partnership that our league has with our area high school coaches who understand the level of football here and understand the type of

Five year record Year 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008

Overall 10-2 6-4 6-3 4-6 7-3

CCIW 6-1 4-3 3-4 1-6 4-3

players we’re trying to recruit collectively. Plus, the location in the big part of the midwest here where we’re close to major metropolitan areas and a few hour drive from major cities. I think that’s an attraction to kids.

SL: Is there anything you’ve tried to change since you took over?

JA: The thing that identifies this program is called blue collar mentality. It’s on every piece of paper we hand out.

BCM is on every article we issue from a team standpoint.

It’s what our identifying mark is this year. It’s teaching kids what the blue collar mentality stands for.

SL: How has the program changed since you joined in 2007?

JA: It was a very much different culture. This is a complete 180. It’s enjoyable. It’s fun to challenge people and the kids have responded. I give a lot of credit to our kids here. They work like no other group in any level of football I’ve coached.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948.

Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948.

Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain.

In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.”

There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
