“We wanted to create an environment where they could learn, because this was a school,” said Baralt In addition to plants, each garden will include sense-specific features. The sight garden will include a wrought iron tree where teachers can hang different items for activities. The touch garden will have wine barrels full of textured items like sand and Mexican beach pebbles. A trickling fountain and wind chimes will fill the sound garden. The smell garden will include potent herbs like lemon thyme and even chocolate geraniums. Students will be able to plant their own veggies in the taste garden.

Even though D’Alessandro’s three children have all moved on from Madison, she feels a special connection to the school, staff and students. Two of her three children had special needs, but they all left Madison able to read and ready for kindergarten.

“I was just so grateful for everything they did for us,” she said about the preschool staff.

She’s determined to see the sensory garden through to the end. She’s already received grants for the project from CVS/Caremark, Kickoff for Kids and the District 205 Foundation along with a

ELMHURST – Madison Early Childhood Center provides resources and education to Elmhurst preschoolers of all academic and physical abilities, but its courtyard garden wasn’t living up to the standards set by the rest of the school.

“There was a garden there, but it wasn’t level,” said Cathy D’Alessandro, founder of the current Madison PTA. “There was no wheelchair access.”

Fourteen months after D’Alessandro began seeking grant programs for a more accessible space that wouldn’t flood when it rained, crews broke ground last week for Madison’s new sensory garden and outdoor classroom, which will offer more than just pretty flowers and wheelchair ramps.

“It is basically separated into five classrooms,” D’Alessandro said. “The classrooms are [based around] each of the five senses.”

Initially, she tried partnering with College of DuPage’s horticultural program. The garden project didn’t fit into the curriculum, but the college agreed to pass on a letter from D’Alessandro to their alumni. One of them, Lynn Baralt, owner of Baralt Custom Landscaping, jumped on the project when she received the letter. Elmhurst resident Baralt and two other designers put together a plan for an interactive garden for all students.

City chooses consultant Addison Avenue project for York TIF district returns to 4-story proposal

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgriglaiunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – The variance request to build a six-story parking garage on Addison Avenue has been withdrawn by the developer, leaving the original four-story plan.

In a letter to the city, Brad Dannegger of ARCO/Murray National Construction Company withdrew the pending application on behalf of developer Addison Corridor, LLC.

ARCO/Murray, one of the entities involved in Addison Corridor, LLC, planned to rent the proposed office space in the parking deck.

In the July 15 letter, Dannegger said the proposed office space wouldn’t meet the company’s needs due to its recent “growth and success.”

“The developer is sort of leaving it up to us,” said Assistant City Manager Mike Kopp about the project’s next step.

He explained that the zon-

ing and planning commission who reviewed the variance request before it was withdrawn, raised some concerns that would still apply to a four-story structure. The developer is working with city staff to create a plan to address those issues.

They plan on presenting a couple different concepts to the City Council at a notyet-scheduled Committee of the Whole meeting later this month.

mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – The City Council accepted the Development Planning and Zoning Committee’s decision for a North York Street plan, which includes an Elmhurst company, this week.

The committee chose the plan submitted by Houseal Lavigne Associates, which calls for green initiative work by a local company, Conservation Design Forum, Inc. In addition to Vernon Hillsbased Gewalt Hamilton Associates. leading engineering and transportation, Gary R. Weber Associates, from Wheaton, will take charge of streetscape and beautification in the Houseal plan.

Following April’s request for proposals that included both a long-term land use plan, as well as readily implementable short-

term redevelopment plan, the city received plans from eight consulting teams that addressed the area also known as TIF District IV. Following evaluation by the Elmhurst Economic Development Commission, two companies were selected as finalist and reviewed by the planning committee. Both finalists, Gingko Planning of Orland Park and Houseal Lavigne Associates of Chicago, proposed fees of $80,000 for the their respective projects.

‘We all thought they were two high quality candidates,” said committee Chairman and Fifth Ward Alderman Scott Levin.

After each company presented to the committee last month, members recommended to the the City Council this week that Houseal Lavigne Associates be hired because of the company’s specific experience in corridor and suburban planning.

ELMHURST – Matt Arnieri still has one year at York High School left before he goes to college, but he definitely won’t be eating Ramen noodles and frozen pizzas for dinner in his dorm room.

Arnieri recently won the Kendall Cooks Challenge with an original recipe.

“We grew up in an Italian household,” said Arnieri about this family.

Italian isn’t all he grew up cooking, though. His family often cooks different cuisine every night when they visit their lake house in Michigan.

Even though they all grew up with skilled cooks surrounding them, 17-year-old Arnieri likes to cook much more than his three siblings.

“It’s sort of peaceful,” he said.

While he enjoys the serenity of barbecuing with family by a lake, he likes a good challenge just as much. Last

DERMATOLOGY UPDATE Presented by

Todd T. Davis, M.D. Board Certified Dermatologist

THE COMMON PROBLEM OF DRY, ITCHY SKIN Older adults are more likely to develop “xerosis” (very dry skin) that leads to “pruritus” (itchy skin), one of the most common skin complaints among seniors. Without treatment, dry skin can lead to a vicious cycle of itching and scratching that can cause “lichenification” (hardened, thickened patches of leathery skin). Preventing dry skin largely consists of adding moisture and sealing it in while avoiding products that strip the skin of its natural oils. To this end, limit showers and baths to 5-10 minutes, and use warm water (not hot). After gently drying the skin, apply emollient (moisturizer) within three minutes to seal moisture in. Moisturizers containing lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, dimethicone, glycerine, lanolin, mineral oil, and petroleum jelly are best.

Our practice is located at

103 N. Haven, Suite 7, Elmhurst.

As the body’s largest organ, your skin works constantly to protect the organs, regulate body temperature, and it reflects your overall health. If you notice or experience any changes to your skin, it’s best to see a dermatologist. Our goal is to provide only the highest quality, compassionate care for patients that need dermatologic care.

Several local and regional elected officials were also at the event.

Village President Keith Giagnorio said the completed bridges represented years of cooperation between the village, other levels of government and community members. The three bridges, he said, have drastically changed the appearance of the village and will be used by people for many years.

Local bikers, joggers, walkers and trail supporters in Lombard and neighboring towns are also enthusiastic about the new bridges, said Don Kirchenberg, voluntary chairman for the Friends of the Great Western Trail, an advocacy group

promoting the trail.

“They’re ecstatic about it,” he said. “They’ll be able to use

the trails more often. They’ll be able to get to Lombard more often.”

LOMBARD – For more than a year, Lombard residents and visitors have watched the scenery along St. Charles Road, along Grace Street and along the Union Pacific Railroad change as three new bridges were erected over the major streets and railroad tracks. The new bridges allow people to use the Great Western Trail safely without crossing the streets and tracks.

The village celebrated the official opening of the bridges during a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday evening on the St. Charles Road bridge. The bridges informally opened to the public in mid-July.

“The bridges have been open to the public and are being used quite extensively,” said Carl Goldsmith, director

of the Public Works Department.

Ground broke on the project in March 2012, although the initial idea to develop the network of bridges came in October 2001, after the Board of Trustees formed a Trail Ad Hoc committee, said Goldsmith.

The Great Western Trail bridge project was almost 12 years in the making as village staff worked to design the structures and find a way to fund them, he said.

In all, the project cost about $5.5 million, and the village contributed $1 million, which came from funds from one of the village’s tax increment financing districts. The rest of the project was paid for using federal funds, Goldsmith said.

Dozens of local residents attended the ribbon cutting ceremony, many of them on bikes, to celebrate the new bridges.

Pace Suburban Bus Service may expand its presence in DuPage County, after county officials met with area mayors and city managers.

The DuPage County Mayors and City Managers Conference, at which the meeting took place, was “not so much a proposal as an invitation to strategize,” said Tam Kutzmark, the transportation and planning director for the conference.

“The county, the conference, service board and other agency partners were all there, and we’re very much at the beginning of the conversation,” she said.

This most recent push is part of the DuPage Area Transit Plan, which focuses on the big picture and was created to increase the use of alternative transportation options, such as buses.

Kutzmark said that, despite pushback from municipalities,

Roman Catholic The Perpetual Adoration Chapel of Our Lady-Mother of Eucharist is available 24 hours a day for private prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, exposed on the Altar.

The Chapel is located in the Convent Building (south side of church) at York and Madison in Elmhurst.

Call Visitation Parish for further information.

630-834-6700

which prevented a major expansion eight years ago, she believes area governments are ready for transportation reform.

“Pace’s bus program has evolved,” she said. “And certainly, some of the conditions and parameters that cities might look at have changed as well.”

Recent bus stop additions in Addison and Carol Stream are signs of an interest in Pace expansion, Kutzmark said. There is increased funding available for such projects, she said, as well as a model for paying for shelters through advertisers and new laws in municipalities that were against more bus stops due to sign zoning restrictions.

“One of the things that was brought up originally was that our code didn’t allow for ads in the right of way,” said Carol Stream Assistant to the Village Manager Chris Oakley.

“But we started allowing the construction of digital signs.

Banks, for example, show the time and the day and weather on some of their signs. As technology changed, we followed suit.”

Oakley said he believed that, while Carol Stream residents will benefit from the Pace expansion, there isn’t a significant need for more routes.

“I think that what people would really like would be some real time information, so they’re not wasting time at bus stops,” he said.

That information could come from scrolling feeds with bus arrival times at the new stops or from mobile phone applications.

Oakley also said that another big village concern, maintenance, was covered in some of the possible agreements with Pace or other private companies whose services the village may use.

“A lot of people had images of what they’ve seen in Chicago,” he said. “They had seen some shelters that weren’t well-maintained or were dirty, and I think Pace has given some pretty good assurance that they’ll be clean and maintained throughout the year.”

Elmhurst neighbors make Komen race a tradition

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Six years ago, Elmhurst resident Joan Knippen walked her very first Komen Race for the Cure in Chicago dreaming she would one day run it.

“I had more to give,” Knippen said.

This year, she is Race Chair for Lombard’s third race. The 5K has become much more than a one-time

outing as she’d expected.

Knippen first heard about the race on the radio the day after she’d talked to Dawn Kruse, a neighbor and friend, about her fight with breast cancer.

Although the two have lived on the same block in Elmhurst for more than 20 years, they weren’t very good friends until about eight years ago. Their children didn’t share the same interests, so they didn’t often

If you go What: Komen Race for the Cure Lombard When: Sept. 22 at 8:30 a.m.

Where: Yorktown Shopping Center, Lombard Information: komen.org cross paths, but once Kruse’s kids left for college, the two grew closer.

“Dawn is really a very private person,” said Knippen.

“She rarely talks about [her cancer].”

When Knippen heard about the Komen race she thought it sounded like a fun girls outing for some of the neighbors to support Kruse as a breast cancer survivor.

She called up her neighbor, Phupinder Gill, and asked his company to sponsor their team, which Knippen said he did happily. In September 2008, the team dubbed “Gill’s Girls” piled into a van to Chicago where they walked what would be their first of many races together.

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.

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.

Attractive clothes Hello senior ladies, where do

you shop for your attractive clothes? It is a challenge to find clothes suitable for my age, 70s.

Stores seem to cater to those under 60. Also to those ladies who wear a size 16, where do you find that size? I have a family member who’s having problems finding stores with that size.

No apartments Regarding the thumbs up about the YMCA taking proposals from developers for the space that’s empty and vacant at Ogden Avenue and 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.

Entrepreneurship is the American dream Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Microsoft and Apple are among the most-iconic brands and well-known businesses around the planet, but each of those international corporate giants traces its roots back to the entrepreneurial spirit upon which America’s economic system of free enterprise is based.

Although Dr. John Pemberton, an Atlanta pharmacist, formulated a new cocaine-extract tonic drink in 1886, it was fellow Atlanta pharmacist Asa Candler who forcefully marketed Coca-Cola into a soda fountain sensation after buying the formula in 1887 for $2,300.

Mac and Dick McDonald opened their popular San Bernardino, Calif., burger joint in 1940, but it required a Ray Kroc, who filed for bankruptcy multiple times, to envision what his 1955 Golden Arch franchise in Des Plaines could become before buying out the brothers in 1961 for $2.7 million.

IBM, or Big Blue as it was known, dominated the computer software market before geeks Bill Gates and Paul Allen combined their brainpower in 1975 on their way to developing the most-user friendly operating systems in Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office.

What the Gates-Allen team accomplished for software users mirrored the computer design feats of Steven Jobs and Steven Wozniak in the world of

COMMUNITY VOICE John Quigley personal computers, starting in 1976 with Apple I. The above vignettes shine a spotlight on the very best of America’s entrepreneurial spirit, but they are but a fraction of the individual successes that make up our business communities and labor force.

Despite the daunting statistic that 4 out of 5 new businesses typically fail, entrepreneurs by the thousands are willing to resign from the corporate life, invest their savings and even mortgage their homes for a chance at doing what they love and earn a living.

In his “Bringing the Dream Back” presentation at the American Chamber of Commerce Executive (ACCE) 2013 Convention in Oklahoma City on July 26, entrepreneur and author Michael E. Gerber, touted as the “World’s No. 1 Small Business Guru,” reported that American businesses’ sole proprietors need only hire one employee to immediately expand the workforce by 70,000 jobs.

Chambers of Commerce, you see, are where the spirit of entrepreneurship unites for a common good.

QUESTION: At what price do you consider a home a luxury home? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.

8LETTERS Reflecting on children and domestic violence Right now, there are three children residing in DuPage County who must live with the effects of domestic violence-turned-homicide for the rest of their lives.

On July 19, a Downers Grove man killed his wife and then turned the knife he used on himself. An 11-year-old daughter was left to deal with the trauma.

Only a week later, an Addison man bludgeoned his wife to death and attempted to kill one of his two stepsons who tried to intervene.

No one can predict the devastating effect the murders will have on these young lives.

At Family Shelter Service, we see the effects of domestic violence on children every day.

Growing up in a violent home is a traumatic experience that can affect a child’s life, growth and development.

To address the unique needs of these children, Family Shelter developed an extensive program for kids who have repeatedly witnessed domestic violence. Our individual, family and group counseling services help children deal with the effects of trauma.

It is our experience that in

at least half of homes where domestic violence occurs, children are present. Children typically make up 50 to 60 percent of our shelter residents.

No one can predict what the outcome will be for the children in Downers Grove and Addison. Tragedies like this are an unfortunate reminder that domestic violence exists in every town, no matter the socioeconomic status or demographic.

As a community, we are all responsible for being vigilant.

Family Shelter offers a hotline for victims at 630-469-5650, as well as for concerned family and friends. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live in safety. Each one of us can play a role in making that a reality.

Sincerely, Karen Hurley Kuchar Executive Director Family Shelter Service Wheaton

Former journalist opposes Roskam probe To the Editor: As a former dedicated and highly ethical journalist once employed by your publications, I would like to offer comment on a recent story regarding a House ethics investigation of U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.).

I have always found that the Wheaton congressman, whom I covered in the Wheaton Journal when he first ran for state office and later, for Press Publications’ weekly “Word on the Street” political column, is one of the most ethical elected officials I have ever met in my 31-year journalism career, and he deserves to be cleared of any alleged wrongdoing.

Mr. Roskam, a devoted family man and public servant, has served his constituents well over the years and deserves just treatment. Let’s hope this probe into his travel activities ends soon.

Sincerely, James Pluta Willow Springs

Should we sue politicians guilty of malpractice?

To the Editor: If an attorney is guilty of malpractice, he gets sued.

If an accountant is guilty of malpractice, he gets sued. If a medical doctor is guilty of malpractice, he gets sued.

So why is it when politicians are guilty of malpractice, they get re-elected?

So how dumb are most of us?

remembers seeing more than just a flood of pink that first race. She said she saw hope and promise. She felt inspired. So, the next spring, she put on some gym shoes and started running.

Anger and frustration quickly replaced her feeling of hope. Knippen hung up the gym shoes, but five weeks before her second race, the running itch returned.

“It was miserable,” said Knippen. “It was hot. I hated every minute of it.”

As difficult as it was, she didn’t give up this time. Side by side with one of her teammates, Maggie Gill, Knippen ran past the finish line of her second Komen race just like she’d been imagining.

The novice runner was thrilled to accomplish her goal, but it just left her more determined to keep pushing herself.

“Running, by no means, can be compared to cancer and fighting for your life,”

Knippen said.

Kruse is one of her closest personal connections to breast cancer, but Knippen said the stories she hears from survivors every year continue to inspire her. After years of growing involvement behind the scenes of the race, Knippen is this year’s Lombard Race Chair.

While she can no longer participate in the race because she’s busy running the event, Gill’s Girls always walk the course.

“I’m very sad I’m not walking out there with them,” Knippen said, her voice breaking like she might cry.

The group of neighbors, friends and teammates have developed a system. The team texts Knippen when they get close to the end of the course, and she meets them to cross the finish line together, just like their first race six years ago. It’s a tradition they have no intention of breaking.

“We are going to keep going as long as we can,” Knippen said.

When his wife was near the end of her life, Richard Pagendarm spent nearly all his time caring for the woman he still calls his “other half.”

For more than two years, he helped feed and clean his wife, Joan.

“Taking care of her was easy,” he said. “The hardest thing I had to deal with was the isolation.”

Pagendarm said that he hired an agency to come and visit, but he would only get a few hours a week – and was paying for each of them.

Then, he said, he found the In-Home Senior Respite program at the DuPage County branch of Metropolitan Family Services.

“It provided another chance to get out of doors,” he said. “I could go out and see people or run errands. Every little bit helped.”

The In-Home Senior Respite program is an association of volunteers that spends three hours each week caring for the elderly who are living with relatives or friends and cannot care for themselves.

Program Director Jody Kanikula said that the vast majority of those her volunteers work with have dementia, in addition to other diseases.

But the program’s service is more about the caregivers for these people rather than the infirmed.

“The caregivers are there all the time. We just give them a break,” she said. “We help make it easier to keep loved ones at home for the end of their lives. Everyone wants to die at home surrounded by the people they love.”

The senior respite program is the only free service of its kind in DuPage County, according to Kanikula. It has been ongoing since 2001 and has provided an estimated half million dollars in volunteer services. The program serves 60 families in the county and has a waiting list of 20 families.

Volunteers must go through

an interview process, commit to at least six months of work and receive training on how to handle various issues related to aging. Addressing dementia is a central tenant of the training, Kanikula said.

“So many people we work with have dementia that knowing some rules and how to handle certain aspects and challenges associated with it is important, especially to the families,” she said. “They are opening their home to someone to work with the people they care about and want to know that they are able to handle the responsibility.

Typically, due to the time frame required, volunteers are usually older adults who are retired. Many are former caregivers themselves. Pagendarm said that a little more than half a year after his wife passed, he was volunteering for the program that had helped ease his burden.

Kanikula said that when volunteers fill out an application, they must answer questions about what they’re looking for from the experience, as well as their interests, hobbies and personality. This is done to best place them with a potential senior. The volunteer experience can range from watching movies with the clients, to reading, to venturing outside and bonding over a shared interest. All services are free and are without any income-level assessment.

“Ten thousand people a day in this country are turning 65,” she said. “Most of these people have worked all their lives. But many haven’t saved enough for a catastrophic disease like dementia, but have too much to qualify for income-based assistance.”

Pagendarm will start volunteering with his fourth senior at the beginning of August.

“There’s a sad side to it – most people you’re helping are towards the end of their lives,” he said. “It’s sad when someone passes, but you’ve done something to help. It’s worthwhile.”

Sheriff’s department remembers cadaver dog ing dogs for nearly two decades, says a lot of handlers are men and prefer male dogs out of pure macho mentality.

“They’ll work just as hard or be just as lazy as the other gender,” Bertuca said.

The dog-training deputy said he hopes Kato is ready for police work by her first birthday, but he’s willing to give her all the training she needs. Bertuca said his job is about protecting people, and patrol dogs like Stitch – and one day Kato – serve those people, too.

DuPage County Sheriff’s deputies routinely patrol solo, but a few get to have a partner by their side every day.

WHEATON – DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Deputy John Bertuca said he has recently remembered a lot of cases he worked with his late partner of nine years: A German shepherd named Stitch.

“It’s pretty amazing the stuff that he could do,” said Bertuca.

Stitch, who died Aug. 2, was DuPage County’s only cadaver detecting canine.

He was so good at his job, he twice found human remains in bodies of water, one of the most difficult scenarios for a patrol dog Bertuca still remembers his first call with Stitch.

In December 2007, Bertuca and Stitch got a call from the Chicago Police Department to help search for a body.

Bertuca said he remembers walking up to the South Side apartment under which police thought a body might be buried. After Bertuca asked that holes be drilled in the concrete floor, he instructed everyone to leave. Stitch followed him from hole to hole at first, then picked one, sat and stared as he’d been taught.

“The hairs stood up on the back of my neck, and I got chills,” Bertuca said.

He led Stitch around the basement and again the canine went back to the same hole. So Bertuca told the police Stitch had found a body.

While jackhammers were brought in, the partners left, and Bertuca began to feel a little nervous.

“This is the first time my dog’s doing this, and we’re going to tear of up the floor in some guy’s apartment,” Bertuca said.

Sure enough, after tearing up the entire floor of the underground basement, under concrete and six more feet of dirt, clay and rocks, police found Eric Kaminski’s fully clothed skeleton, almost four years after the Oak Lawn res-

ident went missing.

He and Stitch went on to search many more scenes from DuPage County to Dixon, some of which Bertuca still isn’t allowed to talk about. The pair cleared scenes after Drew Peterson’s arrest. Bertuca said showing up to a call with every whiteshirt boss just waiting for an answer never felt easy, but he trusted Stitch’s skills. He knew if there was a body, Stitch would find it, and if there wasn’t, the canine wouldn’t waste anyone’s time or energy with a false alert.

Stitch lived to work.

Shortly before he died, a vet discovered several bulging discs in his spine and a tendon issue in one of his rear legs despite Stitch’s lack of visible pain.

“He still wanted to go to work,” Bertuca said.

Stitch, named by Bertuca’s kids after the Disney character, grew up in Bertuca’s home since he was just a 10-week-old puppy imported from Germany and donated to the sheriff’s department by a local breeder.

Unlike many other agencies that purchase dogs between 1.5 or 2-years-old, DuPage County raises their working dogs from puppies.

Patrol dogs are routinely taught to detect narcotics by a process of imprinting scents. It’s taught as a game to the dogs, and once they learn how to detect once scent, others are easier to imprint.

The one exception: Human remains. Many dogs shy away from cadaver detection.

With the loss of Stitch, Bertuca hopes to train what he expects to be his last canine partner before he retires. Five-month-old Kato, named after Bertuca’s very first working dog, is a female German shorthaired pointer hired as Stitch’s replacement.

First Illinois case of swine flu contracted at DuPage County Fair

A Boone County child who had contact with pigs at the DuPage County Fair has contracted the first confirmed case of swine flu in Illinois this year, according to a news release from the Illinois Department of Public Health.

The child exhibited mild symptoms after helping an exhibitor at the county fair in late July, according to the news release.

Illinois is the third state to confirm a reported case of swine flu this year. Indiana and Ohio have also confirmed an in-state presence of the illness.

Fair Manager Ellen Sietmann said event organizers were informed about the case Aug. 1 and have confirmed the medical status of the child. Fair officials have not yet determined which exhibit held the infected swine, she said.

Sietmann said she believed that the fair did all it could help to warn against and prevent the spread of diseases during the event. Organizers provided 28 handwashing stations and 22 hand sanitizer stations, multilingual signs about handwashing and public announcements about health safety.

“The Health Department and Department of Agriculture actually complimented us on all of the precautions we took.”

Ellen Sietmann, Fair Manager

“The Health Department and Department of Agriculture actually complimented us on all of the precautions we took,” she said.

The DuPage County Health Department declined to comment and said the Illinois Department of Agriculture is responding to inquiries related to the incident.

The H3N2v influenza virus is a variant of influenza A. Four human cases were confirmed last year in Illinois. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported more than a dozen cases in the U.S. this year, according to the health department release, all of which affected people who had contact with swine. The virus is rarely passed from person to person.

So far, the release said, the severity of swine flu illnesses in people has been similar to that of typical seasonal flu infections.

Social media campaign for water quality launched SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DuPage County Stormwater Management is trying to educate county residents about the needs of the county’s waterways through social media, according to a department news release.

Stormwater Management is taking to Twitter and Facebook in a new “Love Blue.

infrastructure and best management practices, according to the release. Though the department has been trying to mitigate the effects of urban stormwater runoff, the release says, there is still room for residents to do more.

nlurz@shawmedia.com Gov. Pat Quinn visited DuPage County Aug. 2 to sign what he called a “landmark bill” that significantly increases the DuPage County Board’s power to cut certain public programs.

Senate Bill 494, sponsored

by State Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, and State Rep. Deb Conroy, D-Elmhurst, gives DuPage County the authority to dissolve outdated or defunct county appointed agencies via ordinance.

County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said that this bill presented “an opportunity to carefully examine these units of local government and come up with a plan for consolidation.”

Quinn said that the bill meant more oversight in a time when many taxpayers live paycheck to paycheck.

“We need to have effective government, a government that gets the job done for everyday people. We don’t need to have excessive bureaucracy,” the governor said.

The bill could have an impact on county appointed governmental agencies

LOMBARD – Many of the residents who normally spend their days patronizing the shops along St. Charles Road, Park Avenue and Main Street will travel to the south end of the village this Saturday to support the Lombard Town Centre at its wine and craft beer tasting fundraiser.

The annual event is one of the major fundraisers for the Lombard Town Centre, which works to promote the village’s historic downtown district, and will begin at 7 p.m. Aug. 10 in the ballroom of the Westin Hotel and Conference Center, 70 Yorktown Center.

As of Wednesday, about 150 people had already bought tickets, and Colleen Whittington, promotions chair for the Lombard Town Centre, said about 200 people are expected to turn out for the event.

Throughout the evening, more than 70 types of wine, craft beer and scotch will be offered for guests to taste; hors d’oeuvre, artisan cheeses and

antipasta will also be available.

Lombard’s The Vino Cellar and Famous Wines of Forest Park have coordinated to bring wine, craft beer and scotch vendors to the event. Even for someone who doesn’t know much about wine, Whittington said, this is a good event.

“They really focused on bringing in wine vendors who are personable and can talk about their wines,” she said.

Lombard resident Patrick Cassata, who previously appeared on the television show “Hell’s Kitchen,” will hold a Cooking with Wine demonstration and talk about his experiences on the show. Other special breakout sessions will feature presentations by Doug Cass, owner of Cass Wines; John Cressman, an Italian wine sommelier; and Brian Dvoret, a scotch expert.

Tickets are available for $74 a person, or $140 per couple.

For more information about the event, or to order tickets, contact Whittington at 630-9137862, or go to lombardtowncentre.org/Wine_Craft_Beer_Tasting.html.

“I wasn’t sure what to do with it at first,” said Arnieri about one of the mystery ingredients, quinoa.

Quinoa is a grain-like crop with edible seeds. He decided to prepare it similarly to Spanish rice.

A fan of cooking shows like Restaurant Impossible, Iron Chef and Food Network Star, Arnieri will get a taste of the spotlight. As part of his first place prize, he also won an appearance on an online episode of “Kendall Cooks with Chef Koetke.”

The trip was just like a college visit for Arnieri, who is considering attending Kendall’s culinary arts program next year. After culinary school he hopes to one day work at a five star restaurant where he can continue his passion for cooking.

“I like it because it’s sort of a challenge,” said Arnieri.

“I like trying new things. I like experimenting with different flavors and different recipes.”

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 mid1800s 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

Three generous strips proved to be plenty of meat for the dish, accompanied by mashed potatoes and tasty sugar snap peas. It can be found under the house specialties portion of Public Landing’s menu, and definitely is recommended.

Other house specialties include the Roasted Pennsylvania Turkey Breast and the Vegan Stir Fry, with options to add chicken, calamari or shrimp. Over on the seafood portion of the menu are a sauteed tilapia, grilled salmon, and lobster tail.

All-everything for Augustana York grad Westerberg hopes solo honors, team success align

ously and you feel proud for being recognized with such a high class of football players, but I look past it. My focus is on winning a conference championship. The main goal always is for our team to win the conference. That comes with a lot of players needing to do a lot of great things.”

Westerberg, who is double majoring in math and education, just returned with his team from a trip to France. The Vikings took on the French National Team, a team of semi-pro football players that Westerberg said were older and stronger.

He said the Vikings were faster and more technically sound.

The Vikings left for France on July 23 and spent the first couple days at Normandy to see the World War II Memorial. The trip lasted for eight days and included Augustana’s 20-13 win over France in a game played in Lille.

“It was neat to go to a different country with all your best friends,” Westerberg said. “I’ve never had an experience like that.”

EHP

ROCK ISLAND – All-American football player. Academic All-American.

Double major on track to graduate in four years.

Erik Westerberg seems to have it all going for him at Augustana College.

The York graduate is heading into his senior year with the Vikings after being named to the first Erik team defense Westerberg as a linebacker on USA Football’s preseason All-American team. Westerberg won the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin’s Defensive Player of Year award last fall and was named a second team CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-American for the second year in a row.

He is hoping to replicate that individual success while helping the Vikings win the CCIW title this season. Last year the Vikings were 4-3 in the league and only lost to the three teams – Elmhurst, North Central and Wheaton – that shared the title.

“Individually I have high standards for the way I play,” Westerberg said. “I hope to be an All-American again, Player of the Year again and an Academic All-American again.

“It’s a great honor obvi-

Augustana’s Erik Westerberg earned plenty of accolades after last season and prior to this season. He’s hoping the individual achievements match the Vikings’ accomplishments in 2013.

Playing in France as one of the team’s captains is a long way from when Westerberg first hit the Rock Island campus.

“It was really kind of a shock freshman year of how good the football we were playing was,” Westerberg said. “You play to the speed that your competition is at.

You just gotta play faster and train faster.”

After a full offseason of college workouts, Westerberg made the adjustment physically and mentally to become the Vikings’ leading tackler as a sophomore. Last year as a junior he made 118 tackles, had four sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery.

The sophomore year improvement mimicked his high school career, when Westerberg was called up to varsity for the first time and the Dukes won the West Suburban Silver.

“That was one of the best years of football I’ve had playing and the most fun I’ve had playing,” Westerberg 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.

2012 CCIW standings TEAM North Central Elmhurst Wheaton Augustana Illinois Wesleyan Millikin Carthage North Park

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?”

Carthage

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?

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.

Hard hitting near home SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Competitive college football is right around the corner with three CCIW teams playing their home games in the suburbs.

Members of the 18U Team Chicago Botafogo girls soccer team celebrate the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championship they won July

Local trio helps Chicago soccer to national title SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – The 18U Team Chicago Botafogo girls soccer team won the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championship at the Overland Park Soccer Complex on Sunday, July 28.

Recent local high school graduates Bryce Banuelos (York), Dana Miller (Wheaton Warrenville South) and Danielle Pitaro (Glenbard South) and incoming junior Alexis Jakuszewski (Wheaton Warrenville South) were part of the star-studded 19-player roster made up of Chicago-area standouts.

Team Chicago beat Virginia Soccer Association Heat Blue 2-1 in overtime in the final. Naperville North graduate Zoe

Swift, who starred on the Huskies’ two state championship teams in 2012 and 2013, scored both goals for Team Chicago in the win.

Banuelos, who will play for West Virginia this fall, was named to the all-tournament team. Alyssa Kovatchis, a teammate of Banuelos during the spring high school season, was named to the all-tournament team at the 16U level for Naperville Soccer Association Jaguars.

The tournament win concluded a 29-1-2 season for the Team Chicago girls. According to the club’s website, they also won an MRL Premier Division Championship, a National League Championship, a Regional Championship and now a U18 National Championship.

ELMHURST – When Connor O’Ryan headed into his senior year of volleyball at York, he expected it to be his final season playing the sport.

That all changed after O’Ryan graduated from York.

Dukes’ coach Ken Dowdy sent out a highlight tape of O’Ryan, and Cardinal Stritch, an NAIA school in Milwaukee, was interested enough to offer O’Ryan a scholarship.

“I actually wasn’t planning to (play in college) until he sent out this tape to schools and they started contacting

O’Ryan’s senior year accomplishments West Suburban Silver all-conference West Suburban Silver academic all-conference Voted team MVP by teammates me,” O’Ryan said. “Cardinal Stritch was the right school and the right amount of money that I couldn’t say no to it.”

Earlier this summer O’Ryan signed with the Wolves to continue his young career.

O’Ryan, a 6-foot-4 middle hitter, just started playing volleyball during his sophomore year of high school. He

was a quick learner and this past spring was voted team MVP by his teammates.

This summer O’Ryan is working at a volleyball camp at York and preparing to head into his first year of college at the Milwaukee campus, which is located less than a mile from Lake Michigan.

His sister played volleyball and helped get him interested in the sport. After playing several sports growing up, O’Ryan has settled on volleyball.

“I just love the sport,” he said. “I used to love playing different sports, but this grew on me so much and it’s my favorite sport now.”

Dynamite go out with bang in final tourney SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA The 16U DuPage Dynamite took second place at the Summer Scorcher tournament in Hoffman Estates on July 21.

The Dynamite battled its way to the No. 2 seed in the playoffs and was dominant in the playoffs getting to the championship game. The championship game was a back-and-forth battle with the Illinois Basha, with the Bash winning 9-7.

The Dynamite feature players that attend York High School, Willowbrook, Wheaton Warrenville South, Lake Park, Glenbard East and IC Catholic Prep.

The Summer Scorcher tournament wrapped up the Dynamite’s inaugural season and the team will be holding tryouts in August for the 16U and 18U teams, and possibly at additional age levels.

The 16U DuPage Dynamite were comprised of: (bottom row, from left) Amanda Peters, Emma Trapani, Steph Sieja, Sam Miller, (top row) Rachel Giordano, Shayln Cherniavskyj, Taylar Jones, coach Vito Mangialardi, Sam Cepeda, Lexie Matrasko, Elisa King. Additional team members not pictured were: Karli Galichio, Rachael Galichio, Lindsay Reichl, and coaches Lara Mangialardi and Alyssa Johnson.

Emeralds softball shines in inaugural season SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA The Elmhurst Emeralds 10U softball team recently wrapped up its inaugural season.

Among the highlights was the Emeralds’ second place finish at the Bloomingdale Summer Blast tournament.

The team’s other hardware hauls included a first place finish at the Roselle Fall Swing Tournament and four other second place finishes, including the Elmhurst Emerald City Classic.

Team members included: Julia Espinosa, Elise Leopold,

Rebecca Cash, Caroline Dooley, Natalie Milano, Caroline Collins, Katie Norgle, Ava Freeborn, Abbey Carrasco, Megan Heiss, Claire Curtin and Ellie Bernard. The Emeralds were coached by Tony Leopold, Chris Collins, Bill Milano and Stephanie Tomazin.
