Better Government Association statement Mike Thiessen, one of three trustees who was hired after Healy’s resignation on Aug. 31, 2012.

The Lyons Township School Treasurer’s Office, located in La Grange Park, manages more than $280 million in public funds for districts in the western suburbs, including La Grange, Western Springs, La Grange Park, Lyons, La Grange Highlands and Burr Ridge.

The office, which Healy oversaw, also manages payroll, billing and bookkeeping functions.

BGA: Healy lacked financial experience Healy also lacked financial experience, the BGA said, and hired friends to invest money for the 13 school districts he oversaw.

“He was investing taxpayer money in questionable places, with financial firms charging questionable fees,” the BGA wrote on its website.

School is powerless, Thiessen says Over 23 years of alleged wrongdoings, none of the 13 districts whose funds were managed by Healy blew the whistle. But Thiessen said Healy’s actions were so secretive that the schools were powerless.

“In the past, many of the schools did not know what [Healy] was investing in,” Thiessen said. “They didn’t even know whether they were asking the right questions or not because they weren’t getting information.”

Thiessen said the office has implemented checks and balances since Healy’s resignation. Thiessen and the board’s two other trustees, Theron Tobolski and Karen Civinelli, have access all wire transfers made by

Lyons Township High School wants out Still, Healy’s alleged mismanagement has at least one district trying to free itself from the treasurer’s office.

Earlier this year, Lyons Township High School District 204 asked state Rep. Jim Durkin to file a bill that would allow the district to withdraw jurisdiction from the treasurer’s office and appoint its own treasurer.

The bill, filed in February, passed the House in April but was shut down in the Senate.

Currently, the district is refusing to pay a $254,000 bill for services from the treasurer’s office because it was a 17 percent increase from the previous year’s bill, according to media reports. The treasurer’s office said the bill is higher because Healy misstated the amount owed by the district.

Healy resigned Aug. 31, 2012, as the Better Government Association prepared to release a report alleging that Healy paid himself more than $500,000 in unused vacation, sick and personal time.

“The BGA is pleased that prosecutors took this case seriously, and rooted out alleged misconduct within the Lyons Township School Treasurer’s Office,” the BGA said Friday in an email statement to the Suburban Life.

“Even though small, the treasurer’s office is a hugely important agency that handles many millions of dollars

destined for the education of public school children. The BGA has said before that, aside from any alleged improprieties by now-former treasurer Robert Healy, this case was disturbing because the board that was elected to oversee Healy was clearly asleep at the switch – as were most of the school districts that should have been keeping a better eye on their money. There’s plenty of blame to go around.”

In 2012, the BGA started an investigation into Healy after a report by government transparency group For the Good of Illinois revealed that Healy’s salary jumped from $163,000 in 2010 to $295,000 in 2011. The BGA investigated for several months, hiring a consultant to dig through financial records, before breaking the story in September 2012.

As Healy’s alleged wrongdoings came to light, Ed Maloney, a former member of the treasurer’s office three-person board of trustees, resigned. Maloney, who now is a Cook County circuit judge, was replaced

by Mike Thiessen, the only member of the board with a professional financial background, the BGA wrote on its website.

Clyde Bradley, the interim treasurer. Along with an eight-member staff, they also approve all checks written by the office, Thiessen said.

“We’ll know within four or five days if there’s been an unauthorized wire transfer,” Thiessen said.

Since Healy’s departure, the office has switched audit firms and investment managers and also implemented a budget, which was absent under Healy.

Under Healy’s management, schools were lucky to receive a statement on their cash reserves quarterly, Thiessen said. Now, they can view the accounts any time.

Former Lyons Township Schools Treasurer Robert Healy was charged with stealing more than $1.5 million over a 20-year period, Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez announced Thursday.

Healy, 54, of La Grange Highlands, was charged with theft of governmental property and official misconduct, both felony charges. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison. Healy was arrested Aug. 14 and appeared for a bond hearing Thursday in Chicago. Cook County Judge James Brown set his bond at $100,000, and Healy’s next court date is Sept. 4.

According to prosecutors, Healy added compensation to his paychecks or gave himself additional salary and benefits of more than $630,000 starting in 1989 and continuing through April 2012.

Healy also is alleged to have made 105 wire transfers out of the township’s bank account to a personal account between February 2002 and April 2011 of more than $900,000, along with a wire transfer in July 2011 to cover the down payment on the purchase a “luxury vehicle” for more than $7,500. In total, prosecutors say Healy stole $1,538,747.61.

Healy also faces an ongoing civil lawsuit from the Lyons Township Trustees of Schools, who are trying to recover about $900,000 that would be repaid to the 13 school districts managed by the treasurer’s office, said

“ ... This case was disturbing because the board that was elected to oversee Healy was clearly asleep at the switch – as were most of the school districts that should have been keeping a better eye on their money. There’s plenty of blame to go around.”

Trustee: Village employees used Hodgkins accounts for personal purchases

New Rides!

HODGKINS – Residents attending a Hodgkins Village Board meeting Monday had a lot of questions for board members about the pressured resignation of one public works employee in July and the recent suspension of another for the misuse of village funds.

Even though five trustees voted to fire public works employee Ken Tucker after it was discovered that he had used village accounts to buy personal items in the amount of $142 at Pep Boys, ultimately the decision rested with Village President Noel B. Cummings, Village Attorney John O’Connell said.

Instead of firing Tucker, Cummings decided to issue him a 60-day suspension. Tucker declined to comment for this story.

Friends and family of Eric Rice, the former supervisor of Public Works in Hodgkins who was found to have misused more than $3,000 in funds from village accounts at local stores for personal purchases, took issue with the suspension, and said at the meeting the punishments doled out by Cummings were unfair.

O’Connell said there were other factors to consider in the village president’s decision to pressure Eric Rice to resign, while giving Tucker a 60-day unpaid suspension. Rice was the supervisor of the department, not just an employee, O’Connell said. He added that the amount of funds misused

by Rice was significantly higher.

When asked why the village did not seek legal action against either of the men, O’Connell said there was not enough evidence to support bringing the offenses to a prosecutor’s attention at the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, and the amount spent and not paid back by employees was small.

“A job is the most valuable asset [a person can have],” O’Connell said of Tucker’s suspension. “The two months [suspension] will cost him about $8,000.

According to Trustee Larry Rice, father of Eric Rice, it’s common practice for village trustees and emJohn ployees to buy O’Connell items for personal use on a village account to avoid paying taxes on them.

Cummings said this was not true at the Monday meeting.

The village president said he did not know employees were using village accounts to make personal purchases, and when he found out, he put a stop to it.

“I disagree with that 100 percent,” Larry Rice said in an interview. “We all knew we could use those accounts ... and put it on the village. It was just to avoid paying taxes on it. Everyone did it.”

Trustee Rice said employees were supposed to pay back the funds to the village after using a village account.

“It just slipped his mind,” Larry Rice said of Eric not repaying the village money.

“I think they went too far on Eric.”

Eric Rice said the village president sometimes was forgetful, but that he had given permission to village employees to make personal purchases on village accounts at stores like Pep Boys and Menards.

Village attorney: Rumors of special consideration for Tucker untrue O’Connell said rumors that Tucker received special consideration in his case because he had worked on property owned by Cummings in Mississippi were untrue.

“It absolutely isn’t true,” O’Connell said.

O’Connell confirmed that Tucker had done work on the village president’s property, but said two other employees also had done so.

According to O’Connell, several employees drove President Cummings to his Mississippi property on their vacation time and did work for him, which they volunteered for and weren’t paid for by the village.

St. Joseph High School nears sale of 10-acre property

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com WESTCHESTER – For seven years, St. Joseph High School has been trying to sell the 10.5 acres of land that its old building used to occupy.

The school nearly reached contracts several times, but they all fell through because developers couldn’t find the money, said David McCreery, president of the high school.

Now, with the real estate market on the mend, the school is considering proposals from developers and expects to sell the property in coming weeks.

“The difference in the level of interest today in this real estate market compared to before is night and day,” McCreery said. “It’s been extremely gratifying to get the responses we’re getting.”

Preliminary plans submitted to the village by several of the developers included senior housing elements, although it’s unknown whether all developments under consideration by the school are

for senior housing.

The property is on the north end of the school’s property, south of District 92.5’s Intermediate School on Canterbury Street and west of Oxford Street. The school has been trying to sell the 10.5-acre plot since 2005, when Immaculate Heart of Mary closed and female students started attending St. Joseph, which bought Immaculate’s building and decided to sell a third of its own property to pay for it.

As months and then years passed without a buyer, the school had to find a way to make payments for the debt it took on by buying the Immaculate building.

“We’re a break-even nonprofit to begin with, and now we have to come up with payments to the bank,” McCreery said.

He added that the school has not missed a payment and that all developers have met the school’s asking price.

Selling the property will help the school focus on raising money for scholarships, McCreery said.

WESTERN SPRINGS – Jim Dames hasn’t been able to draw a check from his business in two years.

The steady decline of customers at Snackers Café started when the recession hit in 2008. Dames first noticed he was seeing fewer parents at his restaurant – a something-for-everyone cafe and upscale diner at 909 Burlington Avenue that has been a staple in the community since 1995. Parents would give their kids money to eat out, but would stay home themselves to save money, he suspects.

Then, he noticed fewer customers were coming in for their morning cup of coffee and bagel. Regulars he used to see every day disappeared.

Some told him they had started working from home. Others, he guesses, lost their jobs in the city and therefore didn’t pass by Snackers every morning on the way to the train station. Even those who kept their jobs started bringing their own coffee to save money.

Meanwhile, Dames’ own costs soared. In 2008, the cost of a jug of fryer oil went from between $12 and $15 to

between $30 and $35, almost overnight, he said. Things got so bad that almost two years ago, Dames’ wife, Mary, had to leave the restaurant and take a banking job.

Dames also had to let one of his cooks go, leaving only himself and one remaining cook. He’s lost money each of the past few years, refusing to raise prices because of the sunken economy. Earlier this year, he cut the restaurant’s Erica Benson – ebenson@shawmedia.com hours and no longer opens in Snackers chef Eliseo Cortez serves food Friday. Jim Dames has owned Snackers, which is struggling to stay the morning, which used to the busy community restaurant it once was, for 18 years. be his most steady time of the day.

“We’re back to struggling like we were 18 years ago,” said Dames. “It’s not pretty.”

Police arrest two for theft of 38 school computers

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LA GRANGE – Edward H. Krol, 26, of Westmont, was charged with multiple offenses for refusing to get out of the water fountain outside Village Hall on Aug. 9.

Krol initially refused to come down from the top level of the fountain but did after yelling at passers-by for several minutes. He then refused to exit the pooled water area.

When he got out of the fountain, he refused to be placed

Police found that Krol was in possession of marijuana and a pipe commonly used to smoke marijuana. He was charged with reckless conduct, disorderly conduct, resisting a police officer, possession of cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia. He also was issued a local citation for trespassing.

Krol was released on bail.

His court date is Sept. 5 in Bridgeview.

LA GRANGE PARK – Police have arrested two individuals in connection with the theft of 38 laptop computers from Barnsdale Road School on July 8.

Joseph Morici, 25, of the 800 block of Harrison Avenue, Brookfield, and Ashley Schoenle, 18, of the 5600 block of South Meade Avenue, Chicago, were charged with criminal trespass to state-supported property Monday. Police learned of their involvement in the crime Monday while investigating a bicycle theft in the 1000 block of Barnsdale Road, during which they encountered Morici.

The computers were allegedly stolen around 2 a.m.

July 8, when Morici and Schoenle, along with two teenagers ages 16 and 17, entered Barnsdale Road School through an unlocked window. Once inside, they took 38 laptops from a storage area, police said.

District officials said the

school is undergoing construction and that a worker left a bathroom window open before the incident. The stolen computers are older and weren’t being used by teachers, officials said, adding all expensive equipment was removed before construction began.

Nearly half of the stolen computers have been recovered, and police are working to obtain the rest of them.

At the request of school officials, felony burglary charges were not issued against Morici and Schoenle, who were released on bail and are scheduled to appear in court Sept. 11 in Maywood.

The teenagers were released to their parents.

School officials said they did not want to pursue felony charges that would remain on Morici’s and Schoenle’s record permanently. Instead, they are pursuing a charge of criminal trespass to state-supported property, a class A misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and up to one year in prison.

In Downers Grove … we are assessed on gravel driveways the same as asphalt. A gravel driveway does absorb the water. … Also a wooden deck with spaces – the spaces allow the water to go through. … Many of us have actually been to the village, have met with the village individuals, and pretty much I’ve been told “it is what it is.” But if they’re saying the water needs to drain into the ground, gravel driveways, decks, the water does absorb back into the ground. … When I was there … I was told, it’s just a shift coming off of our tax bill to our water bill. We all need to be aware it is not a shift because if it’s on our taxes, we can use it as a deduction on our annual income tax. If it is on our water bill, there is no tax write off or tax benefit.

8NEWS BRIEFS LA GRANGE Dead bird tests positive for West Nile Virus A dead bird found in La Grange two weeks ago has tested positive for West Nile Virus.

No cases of human infection have been reported in the village, which reported the finding Aug. 14 on its website after receiving the news from the Cook County Public Health Department.

The Des Plaines Valley Mosquito Abatement District sprayed for mosquitoes two weeks ago and will continue abatement efforts, the village said. The village

encourages residents, especially those with compromised immune systems, to take measures to prevent the possibility of being bitten by a mosquito.

Because an infected bird has been confirmed in the area, residents do not need to report any future dead bird sightings this year, the village said.

For information about West Nile Virus, go to www.cookcountypublichealth.org/west-nilevirus.

Aging Care expands elder abuse program As of July, Aging Care Connections has expanded its elder abuse program to include adults

19 and older.

The program, which has been renamed Adult Protective Services, aims to protect those who have a disability that impairs them for seeking relief from abuse, neglect or exploitation.

Abuse of those with disabilities and the elderly is most often unreported, the organization said, because of several factors, including fear of retaliation by the abuser or fear of institutionalization. Victims are often isolated and have less access to support.

Reports of elder abuse or abuse to a disabled adult should be made to the Adult Protective Services Hotline, 866-800-1409.

56 PERCENT: It’s excessive 18 PERCENT: It’s reasonable 17 PERCENT: It’s cheap 9 PERCENT: We’re enrolled in private school

Performance group builds character and teaches leadership The audience hushes as The LeaderShop’s performance group Watch My Feet takes the stage.

The youth see other youth just like themselves confidently take their place. Colorful T-shirts proclaim Courage, Love, Strength and Hope. Then, through dances and skits COMMUNITY about positive decision-making, anti-bullying, and topics VOICE such as race and substance Kim abuse, the youth in the Anderson audience are empowered to become leaders among their peers.

Watch My Feet embodies the agency’s values of building leaders who have confidence, competence, connection, character and compassion. Watch My Feet is comprised of a diverse group of high school students from four area high schools: Argo Community High School, Lyons Township High School, Nazareth Academy and Riverside-Brookfield High School.

Youth develop their own dances and skits, a skill that builds competence. The topics they address shape performers’ character, as well as audiences’ character, into more responsible, confident, compassionate and empowered young adults. The performers acquire confidence and competence and demonstrate their compassion for other youth as they connect with audiences.

The performers speak for themselves: Katie: “I’m here to represent my school at the community level … I wanted a way to serve more outside of the school.”

Another performer: “I’m in Watch My Feet because I love meeting new people and having fun while doing it … Watch My Feet is such an inspirational group, I think it made me come more out of my shell. I’ve never felt so comfortable.”

And another youth: “I come to Watch My Feet because ever since fifth grade I’ve seen them perform and wanted to be a part of something so inspiring. Helping youth is what motivates me the most. Just the fact that I could have maybe saved someone’s life makes me feel amazing.”

To book The Leadershop’s performance group Watch My Feet, contact Kim Anderson at KimA@theleadershop.org.

Preston decided to plant a garden of sunflowers so that her granddaughter, Nicole, could feed the birds and squirrels. Nicole has a severe peanut allergy, which prevents her from handling any store bought bird seed. We applaud the work and the result – plenty of sunflower seeds and a beautiful garden.

It’s Your Money WHAT PHASE-OUTS DO Over certain incomes, some tax benefits are “phased out.” For instance, if a couple filing jointly has an adjusted gross income that exceeds $300,000, their personal exemptions are reduced by 2 percent for every $2,500 of AGI over the $300,000 threshold, disappearing altogether past an AGI of $422,500. The thresholds for head of household is $275,000, for singles, $250,000 and for married filing separately, $150,000. These thresholds will be adjusted annually for inflation.

What does this phase-out actually do? It can add as much as 1.5 percent per exemption to the marginal tax rate.

Phase-outs of itemized deductions can do even more damage to tax rate. At the same thresholds, the write-offs are reduced by 3 percent of the excess AGI-though deductions for medical expenses, investment interest and casualty losses are exempted. Reduction in writeoffs can never exceed 80 percent.

Do you ever go to the grocery store and discover there’s more cereal in the box than there used to be? Not likely.

Seems like there’s always less, and for the same price.

And it’s the same with laundry detergent, coffee and untold other products. When manufacturers want to boost the bottom line, they seem to find that it’s easy to give you a little less than you expect and hope you won’t notice.

There’ve been some changes recently in your Suburban Life newspaper, too, that you might not have noticed. But at Suburban Life Media, we like to do things a little bit differently – we’re giving you more: • The Argyle Sweater, written by Scott Hilburn, is a comic that looks at the world from a little bit of a different bent. Here’s how Hilburn describes himself: “Living next door to a nuclear weapons testing facility as a child, I was exposed to high levels of intense radiation.

The prolonged exposure to this radiation resulted in the development of special powers such as extraordinary drawing and writing capabilities.” So if you like your humor on the surreal side, make sure to look for it in the Classified section every week.

• Will you need a jacket Saturday? I suppose no one really knows for sure. But the good folks at the National Weather Service are doing their best to try to map the course of the clouds, so we’ve added a weekend forecast on page 3 starting today. Whether you’re considering going to a

Day care center planned for old Vaughan’s building

CC • Wednesday, August 21, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life*

The former site of Vaughan’s Garden Center could soon host a new day care center.

Bright Horizons Child Care presented plans for a new location at 4700 Commonwealth Ave. to the village’s Planning and Zoning Committee last week. Trustee Ed Tymick said the company’s presentation was received favorably by the village and that it already has completed 90 percent of the groundwork.

The company will present to the Plan Commission in August, and the next step would be gaining approval from the Board of Trustees.

Bright Horizons has child care locations in the United States, United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Tymick said the company has a thorough business plan for the potential Western Springs

19

location, which would target business from medical personnel at Hinsdale Hospital and La Grange Memorial Hospital.

The company hopes to complete renovations to the old Vaughan’s building by May 2014 in order to open by fall 2014, Tymick said. Renovations would include the installment of a kitchen and classrooms.

Jim Dames, Owner of Snackers in Western Springs, serves customers including officer James Ashmore Aug. 16. Jim has owned Snackers for 18 years and is struggling to stay the busy community restaurant it once was.

• SNACKERS Continued from page 7 environment,” he said.

“We’re friendly. We’re open to suggestions. I had a guy who wanted olive burgers.

I got a jar of olives and we made him olive burgers.”

The menu at Snackers is a laminated sheet of paper that sits on the counter next to the register. Orders are taken on paper and handed to the cook.

A corned beef sandwich costs $6.79; a half-pound cheeseburger is $7.49; and a turkey club wrap is $7.79. To Dames, those prices reflect what Snackers offers: an option better than fast food, but not fine dining.

Jeff Reynolds, an employee at Village Hardware down the street, stops in several times a week to eat. For him, Snackers is convenient and offers excellent food. But he suspects Western Spring residents are starting to look for something different.

“It’s now become a town of boutiques,” Reynolds said. “It’s more specialized to certain interests instead of something for everybody.

And unfortunately, I think that’s the way most communities are going.”

A few of Dames’ relatives have told him that he needs to brand Snackers differently – carve out a niche. But that’s the thing. If anything, Snackers is the generalist in a food culture that’s become about trends and offering something completely new and different.

“I like change, but there’s only so many ways you can spin corned beef,” Dames said. “Is it real or is it pressed? Go to Arby’s and

have a corned beef sandwich and come here and have a corned beef sandwich.

There’s no comparison.”

From institution to under water Admittedly, Dames isn’t sure how to portray Snackers, especially in an age where brand seems to be more important than the product itself.

“That’s a question I’ve been asking myself the last few years,” he said. “How do you redefine, in 2013, 2014, a community restaurant?

What is it today?”

Dames remembers when the village conducted research on how to revitalize the downtown and mentioned Snackers as an example for other businesses.

“One of the reports listed us as an institution in the town at the time,” he said.

“I think people accepted us more back then … Today the expectation is different. They don’t know how to classify us.”

Dames stopped advertising about a year-and-a-half ago because it wasn’t worth the cost. He’s working on a new menu, but with just one other employee, it’s taken him four months.

Dames says he always tried to figure out what customers want and offer it.

Although most of Snackers menu is hearty, filling food, Dames started selling wraps and other lighter items when a wave of healthy eaters demanded them.

“I always thought [evolving] was one of my traits and that’s why I lasted as long as I did, but we’re in such turmoil and it’s so bizarre right now,” he said about the food industry.

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com The 2013 boys golf season is underway, and as teams across the area tee it up the ultimate destination is the Bloomington-Normal area Oct. 18 to 19 for the Class 2A and 3A state championship tournaments.

Morton Mustangs

Lyons Township Lions Conference: West Suburban Silver Home course: La Grange Country Club, 620 S. Brainard, La Grange 2012 results: 2nd in regional, 3rd in sectional, 3rd in state Coach: Brian Kopecky Top golfers: Mike Caplice jr.

Dan Hudson sr.

Jon Hudson jr.

Billy Spartz jr.

Shaw Media file photo

Adam Powers (middle) returns to help lead the Morton boys golf team this season.

Fenwick Friars Matt Walsh jr.

Alex Wenstrup jr.

What to watch: Four of the top six from last year’s state trophy-winning team are gone, but the two returners from that group are elite talents.

Dan Hudson has placed in the top 30 at state each of the past two years and will be looking to move up.

“He’s one of the better players in the state we think,” LT coach Brian Kopecky said of Hudson.

His younger brother, Jon, is the other returner from the 2012 top six, and Matt Walsh was also a contributor last year. The talent at the top is as good as it’s been, but the Lions will need depth to contend for state again.

“We’re not going to be as deep as the last couple years,” Kopecky said.

The junior-heavy Lions will need a couple golfers from the group of Alex Wenstrup, Billy Spartz and Mike Caplice as well as sophomore Jason Miller to step up to match last year’s success.

Riverside Brookfield Bulldogs Conference: Metro Suburban Home course: Carriage Greens Country Club, 8700 Carriage Green Dr., Darien 2012 results: 8-6 dual meet record, 6th in regional Coach: Larry Rocco Top golfers: Austin Adamec sr.

Chris Detloff jr.

Mike Gruber so.

Jack Robling jr.

Peter Smith jr.

What to watch: The Bulldogs don’t have a lot of

senior leadership, but top golfer Austin Adamec will provide RB with a steady No. 1. Adamec was a sectional qualifier last season and is a state hopeful this year.

“Austin is potentially a state qualifying golfer this year,” RB coach Larry Rocco said. “He is a hard worker and we expect him to be our leader.”

After Adamec, a number of younger golfers will be thrown into the fire as varsity newcomers.

Nazareth Roadrunners Conference: East Suburban Catholic Home course: Links of Carillon, Plainfield and Willow Crest Golf Club, Oak Brook 2012 results: 10-3 duel meet record, 2nd in regional, 1st in sectional, 5th in state

Conference: Chicago Catholic League 2012 results: 7-4 dual meet record, 7th in regional Coach: Jerry Kribs Top golfers: Ryan Augustyn sr.

Owen Blakely sr.

Brian Boyle sr.

Liam McGarrity sr.

Matt Reilly sr.

Jack Williams sr.

What to watch: The senior-heavy Friars are looking for big things this season thanks to a lot of returning talent. Brian Boyle and Owen Blakely were sectional qualifiers last year and four other seniors should fill out the top six.

“We hope to improve upon our dual record and contend for the Chicago Catholic League championship,” Fenwick coach Jerry Kribs said.

LSL

Conference: West Suburban Gold Home course: Fresh Meadows Golf Club, 2144 S. Wolf Road, Hillside 2012 results: 1-5 WSG, 6th in regional Coach: Chris Blomquist Top golfers: Mike Kadela jr.

Jeremy Nadolski jr.

Adam Powers sr.

Thomas Skenandore so.

What to watch: First-year coach Chris Blomquist takes over the program along with the help of frosh/soph coach Ray Lunz, who has 20 years of playing experience.

Blomquist inherits a squad led by returning sectional qualifier Jeremy Nadolski. Adam Powers, Mike Kadela and Thomas Skenandore are also expected to be key contributors to the varsity team.

Blomquist added that he’s excited about Skenandore’s potential.

Coaches: Mike Morris and Jim Danko Top golfers: Matthew Clark so.

Andrew Dobis sr.

Dan Hubert sr.

Steven Patchak sr.

Kevin Saladino sr.

Danny Thiakos sr.

What to watch: After placing fifth in Class 2A last fall the Roadrunners will need new faces to step up if they are to head back to state.

Sophomore Matthew Clark was in the lineup for the entire postseason run last year, but is the only returner from that group. Senior Andrew Dobis competed in the lineup in Naz’s sectional win.

Seniors Dan Hubert, Steven Patchak, Kevin Saladino and Danny Thiakos also will look to fill in the gaps from last year’s graduations.

Lions look for fourth straight girls golf state qualification

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Girls golfers from across the area are on the course for the 2013 season. The season has just started, but the goal for individuals and teams throughout state is to make the trek to the Decatur area Oct. 18 to 19 for the Class A and AA state championship tournaments.

Lyons Township Lions Conference: West Suburban Silver Home course: La Grange Country Club, 620 S. Brainard, La Grange 2012 results: 9-1 dual meet record, 3rd in regional, 3rd in sectional, 6th in state Coach: Brad Anderson Top golfers: Sarah Donahoe sr.

Melissa Marston jr.

Jameson Mitchell sr.

Ciara Rattana sr.

What to watch:: The Lions have qualified for state as a team for the past

three years and have enough firepower back to make four straight a possibility.

Four of last fall’s top six are back, including top golfer, senior Ciara Rattana. Rattana is coming off a busy summer that featured top junior tournaments. She cracked the top 50 in state after shooting an 84 in the one-round tournament.

Sarah Donahoe will hope to recapture the magic of the 2012 state tourney, when she she a career-best 80 that tied her for 23rd place.

Melissa Marston and Jameson Mitchell are also returners in the lineup.

Riverside Brookfield Bulldogs Conference: Metro Suburban Home course: Fresh Meadow Golf Club, 2144 S. Wolf Road, Hillside 2012 results: 0-12 dual meet record, 7th in regional Coaches: Neil Dughetti and Mark Gouwens

Top golfers: Alicia Heniger jr.

Marisa Jensen sr.

Michelle Morris jr.

Julia Roedel jr.

What to watch: Armed with seven varsity returners, five of which have multiple years of varsity experience, RB hopes to make it to sectionals as a team.

After stepping up as regulars in the lineup as sophomores, juniors Alicia Heniger, Michelle Morris and Julia Roedel will look to make the next step. Those three and senior Marisa Jensen competed in the regional last year.

Senior Miranda Alvarez and sophomores Silvana Alvarez and Grace Watylyk also were returners.

Nazareth Roadrunners Conference: East Suburban Catholic Home course: Meadowlark Golf Course, 11599 W 31st St., Hinsdale

2012 results: 10-6 dual meet record, 1st in regional, 4th in sectional Coach: Charlie Rohlf Top golfers: Annie Canent sr.

Anna Rafanelli sr.

Kasey Schaffer sr.

Maddie Waun sr.

What to watch: The Roadrunners were one spot away from qualifying for state as a team last fall. Four of the top six golfers from Naz’s regional winning lineup are back so there is reason for optimism.

Kasey Schaffer will look to make it to state after surprisingly missing out last season.

Schaffer emerged as Naz’s top golfer and was fourth in the Class A regional that Naz won.

Fellow seniors Annie Canent, Anna Rafanelli, Maddie Waun and Clarissa Calderon also should be contributors. Sophomore Molly McAuliffe could play a big role after earning her way onto the varsity team as a

freshman.

Fenwick Friars Conference: East Suburban Catholic Home course: Fresh Meadow Golf Club, 2144 S. Wolf Road, Hillside 2012 results: 0-9 ESCC, 2nd in regional, 9th in sectional Coach: Kitty Delany and Joseph Konrad Top golfers: Frankie Bell so.

Caroline Green sr.

Meredith Green sr.

What to watch: Three returners are back from a Friar team that placed second in the Class AA St. Ignatius regional at Cog Hill last fall.

Two of the Top golfers: from that team, Liz Mavrogenes and Angelica Fuentes, are gone so there’s a big void at the top.

Sophomore Frankie Bell is the most likely candidate to emerge as a top player. Seniors Caroline Green and Meredith Green also were in the top six last season.

Big bats boost La Grange Babe Ruth in tourney run SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LA GRANGE – La Grange’s 16-year-old Babe Ruth All-Stars beat Downers Grove twice in one day to win an invitational tournament.

La Grange won, 11-7, in the opener and 13-6 in the clincher to win the title over the hosts at Memorial Park.

A three-run bomb by Kevin Karpinski highlighted a five-run fifth in the second game and sealed the victory. Braedon Belcher also homered in the win. La Grange had led 5-0 in the first with two-run singles

by Craig Metsch and Brett Nicholson.

Belcher pitched a complete game for the victory. Belcher also went seven innings in an earlier 4-1 win over Western Conference.

La Grange opened the tourney losing 11-0 to Western Conference, but rebounded with an undefeated run the rest of the way.

They beat the 15-year-olds from La Grange, 11-1, in five innings early in the tournament and beat Downers Grove’s 15-year-olds by staging a rally to win 10-9 prior to topping Western Conference, 4-1.

Belcher and Ben Gawthrop before homered in the first game against Downers Grove. Dan Cuellar got the win and Brendan McDonnell pitched in relief.

8Q&A WITH JOEL QUENNEVILLE

Coach basks in glow of second championship

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Joel Quenneville had an extensive hockey playing career that spanned 14 NHL seasons, plus time in other professional leagues.

But in Chicago, he is known more for what he does behind the bench than on the ice.

When the Hinsdale resident coached the Blackhawks to the 2010 Stanley Cup, he helped end a 49-year championship drought, which was the longest in hockey at the time. In June, Quenneville guided the Blackhawks to another title, and they will look to repeat again next season when training camp opens Sept. 12.

SUBURBAN LIFE: Has there been any down time for you this summer?

JOEL QUENNEVILLE: It’s been a very short summer. We went back to Connecticut for a couple weeks, and it felt nice to get away.

SL: What was it like to bring the Cup to the Hinsdale Fourth of July parade?

JQ: That wasn’t my day with the Cup, but I was fortunate that the Cup was in town that day and I was able to bring it to the parade. It was a great parade. There was a nice turnout and there was a lot of enthusiasm from everyone.

About Joel Quenneville Age: 54 Residence: Hinsdale Years coaching: 16 Teams coached: St. Louis, Colorado, Chicago Coaching record (wins and losses only): 660-389 Record with Chicago (wins and losses only): 222-106 SL: What was it about the 2012-13 team that allowed it to start and finish the season so well?

JQ: It was a condensed year and we had no idea how things were going to start. I think the guys had a great mindset all year. We had a couple of goals that we set forth. We wanted to be tough to play against, we wanted to keep the puck out of our zone and we wanted to see our special teams improve. The guys’ approach was great. We got off to an amazing start, and you have to commend the guys’ approach the whole season.

SL: What moment most defines last season for you?

JQ: I think that this year was one of those years that was just so unbelievable. We played at a high rate but we didn’t have to face much adversity. Being down 3-1 to Detroit [in the playoffs], and I thought we were

Getty Images/Chicago Blackhawks

Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks hoists the Stanley Cup during the Blackhawks’ victory parade and rally on June 28 after he won his second title in four seasons as head coach. playing better than we did [in the series] against Minnesota, but being down and then winning Game 5 and having the belief going into Game 6 – this team had something. We worked our way through it and got back to our winning ways.

SL: Are you going to miss playing Detroit six times a year now that they are in the other conference?

JQ: That rivalry has been tremendous. We’ve had some great games with them, two of them being Game 7 [of the play-

offs] and the regular-season game in Detroit [2-1 shootout win]. There’s passion in the rivalry between the cities and the fan bases. It’s electrifying.

Hopefully we get to play them in not too long in the playoffs [in the Stanley Cup Finals].

SL: How is the short offseason going to impact your chance to repeat as champions?

JQ: Our league is so competitive. Anybody can beat anybody else at any time. Look at Boston. They were down three goals in Game 7 [against To-

ronto] and came back to win.

Things are so close. Now the division rivalry is part of the playoffs. We’re going to continue to be the target, but I like the group we have here. Guys want to be here, and they want to win. That’s their competitive juices. They always have something to prove.

SL: How did the 2010 title and 2013 title compare?

JQ: They were different, but they were both nice. They were two different teams. The core was in place, but at the same time we had so many guys on the team who were new to winning the Cup, so it was to have them experience that. The depth of the team might have been higher in 2010, but this group had more contributions across the board and more balance.

SL: How will the Olympic break factor into this season?

JQ: We’ll probably look at it a lot like last season when rest was so important and practice time was down a little bit. We had to rest guys and manage minutes to make sure they were ready to play down the stretch. For guys that compete in the Olympics, I think that’s going to be the reality again.

We’ll see how it plays out, but after the Olympics we might have to manage minutes even more for the guys that play.

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.
