handle it. [It’s also] true with pensions.”

Roskam talked at length about Illinois’ struggle to retain and attract businesses and residents, to which he blamed tax policy. He said Washington generally regards Illinois politics as a punchline.

“We’ve got governors who laugh out loud on WLS radio with the talk show hosts, who talk about stealing jobs from Illinois,” he said. “And they say it’s just the easiest thing in the world. You put up a billboard on the Tri-State that says come to Indiana.

“And Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, loves it. So we’ve got all these other states

around us with a similar political DNA as we do, who have basically figured this out.”

Roskam went on to praise Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the reforms he enacted to bring the state’s budget into the black.

“We can have an economy that is growing and we’re not grubbing around and playing this zero-sum game, pitting one group against another for a shrinking pie,” Roskam said.

“Let’s reject that.”

Radogno shared Roskam’s concern with Illinois’ shrinking population, which she also blamed on tax policy.

“The scariest statistic I see is the number of people leaving

Illinois,” she said. “Illinois has so many great resources and yet people are going to other states.”

Talk during the roughly hour-long panel discussion typically avoided education policy and programs, sticking with the budget and business theme, and the squeeze that puts on education funding.

Lawmakers did answer one question directly, when asked if funding for Preschool for All would return to peak 2009 state funding levels of $380 million.

That figure has fallen to $80 million. Lawmakers acknowledged the importance of early childhood education, but bluntly answered “no” – there is not room in the budget.

Fresh Thyme Farmers Market plans Downers Grove store for 2015

The stores will also have a butcher shop, dairy section featuring local items, bakery, the Fresh Thyme Kitchen with salad bar, wine and craft beer section and supplement, vitamin and body care section.

Downers Grove Economic Development Corp. President and CEO Michael Cassa said Fresh Thyme signed a lease with Shorewood Development, which plans for the grocery to be the anchor of a small commercial center on the site.

dealership. Shorewood has not yet closed on the property, and the planned development has not yet received village approval, according to Cassa.

“They’re really in the early stages of beginning this project,” Cassa said. “An important thing to remember is that for Fresh Thyme to locate there, the center has to be built.

“If all goes well with the project … then they would be opening a store here, and I’m very excited about that,” he said.

Other planned suburban locations include Deerfield, Fairview Heights and Naperville.

DOWNERS GROVE – Lawmakers addressing questions at the annual School District 58 Legislative Breakfast steered answers toward a common theme Friday morning – fix Illinois’ budget and encourage business to stay in the state.

“If you care about any issue, you really need to care about the budget,” state Sen. Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, said.

“Because everything is budget-driven, regardless of what your priority is.”

Radogno was joined by state Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, state Rep. Patricia Bel-

lock, R-Hinsdale, and U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., hosted at O’Neill Middle School in Downers Grove.

Sandack pointed toward Medicaid and other entitlement programs – along with pensions – as major items taking a bite from other budget pie slices.

“Education, human services and infrastructure have been continually cut because of the growth of Medicaid and pensions,” he said. “The growth [of Medicaid] has been shocking. It’s a phenomenal program, but our goal should be to get it to the people who should be in the program. Unfortunately, it’s grown exponentially, beyond its ability to

New museum exhibit showcases DIY houses

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – For half of the 20th century, a family could order the biggest signifier of the American dream from a catalog – a house.

Then, of course, they’d build it themselves.

Downers Grove has more than 200 Sears homes and other houses built from mail-ordered kits, the second most in the state, according to Downers Grove Park District Museum Supervisor Julie Bunke.

“Back then a lot of people were renting,” she said. “Some of the apartments weren’t the nicest. This offered people a way to have their own home.

It was economical, affordable.

You know, the average American could do it.”

And, if you built it yourself, the home could be about 30 percent cheaper than going with a home construction company.

“Sears’ claim was a man of average ability, as far a con-

struction, could build a house in 90 days,” she said.

A new exhibit on display at the museum, 831 Maple Ave., tells the story of the homes ordered from Sears, Montgomery Wards, Aladdin Company and other catalogs, and includes a partial list of the homes still standing in town. Also of interest are the print advertisements from the era, showing the homes in idyllic neighborhoods, with red-brick, stucco, or wood exteriors and manicured lawns.

Also on display are a series of photographs from 1925 that haven’t been previously shown. They document each stage of the Himpler family’s construction of their home at 13 Second St. The home is no longer standing.

So many Sears homes were built in Downers Grove partially because of its proximity to Sears’ base in Chicago, Bunke said, but also because of the switching roundhouse and railroad spur in Downers Grove.

There was room for the rail car to wait for seven to 10 days as it was being unloaded by the new home builder. Then the owner could follow the instructions to build the house themselves, or they could have a contractor complete the house.

Catalog home shoppers had many styles to choose from, as

The Downers Grove Historical Museum has a new exhibit about the history of catalog homes. well. From when Sears began offering the houses in 1908, until the end of the run in 1940, architects had designed more than 447 different styles.

Houses ran from tiny and super-affordable, like the $191 nameless model with optional bathroom – Sears sold

outhouses, too – to the opulent. The Magnolia, of which there are none in Downers Grove, featured a sun porch, a porte-cochère, grand columns and several bathrooms.

An example of the second-largest model, the Ivanhoe, stands less than two

blocks from the museum at 744 Maple Ave. The current owners, Ken and Faith Wolf, bought the home in 1990 from the granddaughter of the man who originally had it built, F.P. Towsley.

The 2,500-square foot home, plus unfinished attic and basement, features four bedrooms, a two bathrooms, and impressive crown molding and woodwork throughout.

Other than removing an unnecessary wall and built-in buffet from the kitchen to open its entrance, the family has maintained the original floor plan and style. The Wolfs removed carpeting to reveal the original wood floors, complimenting the oak trim, built-in cabinetry and other touches that lend the distinctive prewar charm.

“When we looked at the house, we came in the back door, we came right here and I looked at all the trim, and I said ‘I want it,’ ” Ken Wolf said. “So I knew before we even got past the dining room.

We’ve done a lot of work, but it still needs more.”

At the time, Sears guaranteed every part that arrived in the kits, though it probably didn’t need to. The well-built Ivanhoe at 744 Maple Ave. turns 100 next year.

ASPIRIN CAUTION

Q: I take aspirin daily. Are there any dental considerations of which I should be aware?

A: Aspirin is a proven pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, and it can help reduce fever. You do, however, have to be careful in its use. Because aspirin thins the blood, some people are on a daily low-dose aspirin regimen as part of blood-pressure treatment or because of heart problems.

One danger aspirin poses on the dentalhealth front is the practice by some folks of chewing aspirin. Chewing aspirin can severely damage the teeth’s enamel. It can also harm the soft tissue of the mouth.

Some people are hesitant about swallowing a whole aspirin pill or don’t want to wait for a tablet to dissolve in water, so they pop the tablet in their mouth and crush it with their teeth. Studies have found that a steady practice of that, especially among people who take multiple aspirins daily, can significantly erode teeth. Another harmful practice is to press aspirin against the gum as treatment for a toothache. The acid in aspirin can burn the soft tissue of the gum.

Because, as mentioned above, aspirin is a blood thinner, talk with your dentist about your intake if you are planning any oral surgery. Naturally, you should always make your dentist aware of any medication you are taking. Ask him or her about the proper role of aspirin in your overall health-care plan.

TAX TIPS

by

JUDI STRAUSS, E.A.

TAX CREDITS can save you big tax money this year.

The credits are a dollar for dollar savings from tax you owe – and while some have income phase-outs, others are available to almost everyone.

Here are a few of the credits you may be eligible for: • Child credit - for children under age 17 • Child care credit (Form 2441)- for children under age 13 • Energy Credit (Form 5695) -limited to $500 and much more complex • Education Credit (Form 8863) • Retirement Savings Contributions Credit (Form 8880) • Earned Income Credit (Schedule EIC) Many of us are missing out on one or more of these credits. The retirement savings credit can save up to $1000 in taxes for a single taxpayer ($2000 for Married). This little known credit is for taxpayers who contribute to a 401K or an IRA and have lower incomes. You must also be born before January 1, 1986.

STRAUSS TAX SERVICE can prepare your 2013 tax return, make sure you get all the credits and deductions, answer your questions for 2014 and save you money.

DOWNERS GROVE – Following a national search, the Avery Coonley School Board of Trustees announced the appointment of Paul Druzinsky as the interim head of school effective July 1.

He replaces Paul Barton, who is leaving to become head of Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School in Atlanta.

Druzinsky has served as head of independent schools for 11 years, most recently with Rodeph Sholom School in New York City, according to a news release.

He has broad administrative experience at schools across the country and was a drama teacher and department chair at Francis Parker School in Chicago. For the past four years, he has also served as a commissioner on accreditation for the New York State Association of Independent Schools.

“I am humbled and excited to be joining the Avery Coonley community,” he said in a statement. “Growing up in Chicago I know of the great reputation the school has, and what a special place it is for children.”

The Avery Coonley School in Downers Grove serves nearly 400 students in preschool through eighth grade.

The school, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, combines academic rigor with a heavy focus on the arts and uses experiential learning techniques developed

by John Dewey and others, according to a news release from the school.

“Mr. Druzinsky’s background, experience, and philosophy make him uniquely qualified to understand the school’s mission and tradition of excellence,” school board Chair James Crouthamel said in a statement. “He is the ideal candidate to lead us into the future.”

DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club is currently accepting applications for four senior achievement scholarships.

Each year the club awards four $500 scholarships to outstanding high school seniors in Downers Grove.

The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club has partnered with three corporate sponsors this year: Baird & Warner Real Estate in Downers Grove, Momkus McCluskey Attorneys at Law in Lisle and ValueKnowledge in Chicago.

Each sponsor has matched a $500 donation, allowing the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club to offer three $1,000 scholarships as well as one $500 scholarship.

“College and universities have become so expensive

that the extra money will help each student fulfill his or her financial obligations,” Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club President Joanne Vought said.

To be eligible for The Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club High School Senior Achievement Scholarships, students must, at the time of application, be a resident of Downers Grove or live within the boundaries of District 99, attend any accredited high school and rank in the top 25 percent of the senior class.

Scholarship winners will be selected based on overall academic excellence coupled with leadership qualities and their involvement outside the classroom. Outside activities may include extra-curricular activities, community service and special projects, recreational activities, hobbies and work experience.

Downers Grove high school seniors who would like to apply for one of the scholarships must complete the application on the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club website, www.dgjwc.org, under awards and scholarships.

Applications are also available at the North and South high schools’ guidance offices. Transcripts and two letters of recommendation are required to submit the application.

Applications must be postmarked by April 8. All scholarships are paid directly to the learning institution designated on final acceptance paperwork.

Winners will be invited to accept their scholarships at the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club scholarship award ceremony on April 22 at Emmett’s Ale House in downtown Downers Grove.

Design studio showcases modern, eclectic treasures DOWNERS GROVE – Visitors to Core Interior Design could walk out with a large mounted barracuda, bronze bookends and a elephant-shaped torchiere, or something completely opposite.

The eclectic selection inside the storefront of Gretchen Dockendorff’s business is testament to her 17 years of picking and vintage collecting.

“I think every room should have something funky in it, to set if off, or to cause a conversation,” she said.

Dockendorff moved her interior design studio to the current downtown Downers Grove location, 1005 Curtiss St., last summer because the new spot allowed her to add a storefront display area for both shoppers and her interior design clients.

Though open since June, the

new store front was officially completed this winter.

As picking has become more popular, Dockendorff said she often finds herself traveling further west and south to outreach city design studios’ ever-expanding efforts.

“So I hit Princeton, I go all the way to Peoria,” she said. “A lot of these river towns, where there was industry, are becoming really cool. Peoria’s got a really good movement going on because they’re stripping factories down. A lot of those river towns you can get some really cool finds.”

Turn-of-the-century,

mid-century and the ‘70s all mingle comfortably in Core Interior Design. One of her favorite recent finds stood proudly last week on a glass, ‘70s coffee table – a brass and porcelain sunfish from the same era. She liked it so much that it may join the five-foot tall metal tusk standing near the front door on the “not-for-sale” list, she joked.

Dockendorff also creates her own work, like the teardrop shaped wall art cut from Indian sarees gracing the west wall of the store, and hanging in front window. The store offers re-upholstered chairs and other vintage furniture, along with framed art and prints.

Bridge Communities asks area kids: What’s it like to be homeless?

In DuPage County, it can be hard to teach our kids about homelessness in the suburbs, especially when the face of homelessness has changed so much throughout the years. At Bridge Communities, this is a reality we face every day. How do we explain what homelessness truly means and what kind of impact it makes on our kids and on our community? More importantly, how do we answer the question, “Why?” Bridge saw this need, and created the What’s It Like To COMMUNITY Be Homeless? curriculum VOICE as a way to teach kids about Lisa homelessness. The activities Doyle we after are geared toward school-age children and are appropriate to teach in schools, religious and youth groups, scout troops and more. There is a variety of activities that the groups can perform, based on the age of the kids, including:

First through third grades

DGR

n THIS WEEK’S WEB

• Purchase or borrow from the library “Cooper’s Tale” or “Fly Away Home,” and use the discussion questions to explore why and how families become homeless.

• Identify an organization in your area that serves the homeless. Choose and complete a service project that helps its clients.

• Complete the activity “What Would You Take?”

Fourth through 12th grades

• Using the questions, explore together as a group the reasons why families become homeless and why homelessness is harmful to children.

• Complete the activity Calculate It! • Visit a homeless shelter or the offices of an agency that serves the homeless to learn more about this issue. Students can research and develop their own project that serves the homeless.

In addition to benefiting from taking part in these experiences, kids can earn scout patches as well. After completing the activities from “What’s It Like To Be Homeless?” troop leaders can order Bridge’s “A Heart for the Homeless” scout patches for $2 apiece from www.bridgecommunities.org.

We hope these activities can answer some of the tough questions your kids may have about poverty and homelessness and help them keep the homeless in their hearts.

Having back and sciatic pain is a miserable – even crippling – condition.

You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep.

You may have a condition called “Sciatica” if you’re suffering from any of these annoying conditions.

Sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve, usually by an L4 or L5 disc herniations.

Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your back or sciatica hurts and the pain just won’t go away!

Do You Have Any of the Following? ✘ Sharp pains in the back of the leg ❏ ✘ Lower Back Pain ❏ ✘ Herniated/bulging discs ❏ ✘ Numbness or soreness in your legs ❏ ✘ Shooting hip or thigh pain ❏ ✘ Muscle spasm, sprains & strains ❏ Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of these problems, they may be relieved or eliminated with chiropractic adjustments.

“What’s The Chance This Will Work For Me?” Chiropractic has been around for over a hundred years, and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly.

Even top sports star and entertainers… like Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Nicholson.

These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctors they want, yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team.

Here’s what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic…

“Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”– British Medical Journal “Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.” -Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery

Pain Shouldn’t Hold You Back From the Important Things in Life Don’t Let Your Sciatica Get Worse

The Single Most Important Solution To Your Sciatica and Back Pain It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your sciatic and back pain solution.

Eventually, there can be problems with gait.”

Criticism of Sandack

To the Editor: According to news reports, Rep. Ron Sandack told his primary opponent, Keith Matune, a “political organization” was going to reveal information regarding a 20-yearold petty misdemeanor involving Matune.

Sandack hasn’t said that he told the political organization not to stoop so degradingly low, hasn’t said that he told the group to please not reveal this, for all intents and purposes, irrelevant info about his opponent.

But we’ve seen clear evidence of Sandack’s questionable character and values.

The way he flip-flopped on traditional marriage is a lot more relevant than a 20-year-old petty misdemeanor involving a $150 bounced check.

And is anyone else bothered by yet another rich guy, Bruce Rauner, trying to buy an election?

We need more ordinary people representing us, in my humble opinion. We don’t need more people seemingly obsessed with money representing us, and who spend so much time seeking it they can’t spend a lot of time figuring out right from wrong. We have way too many morally challenged, money-obsessed people representing us as it is.

The Village will continue to closely monitor the situation and work with its supplier to replenish the salt supply.

Here's what to expect during snow and ice events: • Salt mixed with some sand will be applied to all Priority 1 roads (roads with the highest traffic volume including roads near schools and those leading to Good Samaritan Hospital), hills, curves and intersections.

• Downtown parking lots/sidewalks and train station platforms will continue to be cleared and salted.

ucation Foundation and The Ken Holland Memorial Fund, the screenings will be provided to all students free of charge.

It is estimated that each week, sudden cardiac death claims the lives of more than 60 young adults in the U.S. The leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults is triggered by a hidden heart defect, which the ECG is intended to detect, according to a District 99 press release.

It’s predicted that one-third of deaths may have been prevented through an ECG. The simple and painless test can detect about 60 percent of the abnormalities associated with sudden cardiac death that a stethoscope cannot detect, according to a District 99 press release.

Dr. Joseph Marek, a cardiologist who practices at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital and is the Medical Director for Young Hearts for Life, advises that students of all levels of physical activity be tested, whether or not they participate in a sport.

“Heart conditions that might not be apparent at one point might develop later so it’s important that kids have a screening every two years,” Marek said.

International recommendations are to repeat the ECG every other year through age 25.

If the ECG results show a further evaluation is needed, students are referred to their family physician.

The program relies on support from volunteers.

For information about the volunteer schedule at North High, visit north.csd99.org/activities/young-hearts-for-life/.

To volunteer at South High, email dgsparentshelp@csd99. org.

Continued from page 3

Mr. and Mrs. Michael Richard of Downers Grove are happy to announce the marriage of their son, Kent Michael, to Aileen Patricia McEldowney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kevin McEldowney of Orland Park, Illinois.

Aileen is the granddaughter of Iona Brannigan of Oak Lawn. Kent is the grandson of Edward Kozlow of Naperville.

Aileen is a graduate of Mother McAuley High School and graduated from the University of Illinois in 2007. Aileen earned a Masters Degree in Public Policy from Northwestern University in 2013 and is currently employed as a planner for the Naperville Park District.

Kent is a graduate of Downers Grove South High School and in 2007 also graduated from the University of Illinois. Kent earned a Masters Degree in Sports Management from Northwestern University in 2010 and is currently employed as a senior credit analyst for Oxford Bank.

The wedding took place in the fall of 2013 at Assumption Catholic Church in Chicago, Illinois. Kent and Aileen are now residing in Naperville.

than a Whole Foods, and will place greater focus on perishable items such as produce and meat.

The announcement comes as the Chicago area grocery landscape quickly evolves after the closure of every Dominick’s grocery this winter. Jewel-Osco, Mariano’s and Whole Foods bought some of the 72 closed Dominick’s locations, but dozens remain vacant, including the former 72,000-square-foot

Downers Grove store at 42 Ogden Ave. “I don’t think it’s a secret that the conventional leaders in the Midwest are somewhat in flux,” Sherrell said in the release. “Chicago continues to be in a funk with the Dominickses and the Jewel-Oscoes; and some of the conventional leaders in Milwaukee/Madison are really kind of looking for an identity.”

Downers Grove became the home to another new grocery last year when Shop & Save Market opened at 7241 Lemont Road.

Restaurant reviews

Get a homestyle meal at Bulldog Ale House CAROL STREAM – Sometimes you just want a homestyle meal, a plethora of beer options, and a classy atmosphere to possibly take in a game.

Bulldog Ale House takes the concept of a neighborhood sports pub and combines it with a full-service dining room. The bar area is partitioned off from the diners, meaning you can feel free to bring your family for dinner and not have to fret about any sports fans’ exuberance spoiling your meal.

On a recent visit, I opted for one of the few seats not in direct view of a TV, primarily because it was a slow night in the sporting world. That was a good thing, because it allowed me to focus on the food. My companion, not much of a sports fan, was indifferent to the televised display, but had a great time regardless.

Located in the Fountains at Town Center subdivision just off Lies Road in Carol Stream, Bulldog Ale House could, at first glance, be mistaken for a local version of an Applebee’s, but that’s not true at all.

There’s nothing kitschy about Bulldog, just a clean, nicely decorated and well-maintained eatery with a focus on food and beer.

Wanting to get a sense of what’s offered, we started out with the “super grande platter” of mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, chicken tenders and warm pretzels.

As mozzarella sticks were apparently in short supply that night, my dining companion was delighted at the chance to substitute mini corn dogs instead. Served with a variety of dipping sauces, it could easily serve as a meal for two all on its own.

We ordered entrees nonetheless, knowing we’d end up taking most of the meal home for leftovers – you can’t very well review a restaurant off a single appetizer. I selected the beef Stroganoff, a childhood favorite of mine that can be excellent when made well and terrible when not. In this case,

Bulldog Ale House is just off Lies Road in Carol Stream. There are locations in Roselle and New Lenox, as well.

They’ve got all (again, topped with ice cream, it was terrific.

Strips of skirt steak are sautéed with fresh garlic and mushrooms, then combined with red wine and brown sauce over fettuccine. Add a dollop of sour cream and the dish is complete. If I hadn’t been so full from the appetizer, I easily could have polished it off; instead, it made for a terrific lunch the next day.

My companion was similarly stuffed from the appetizer, and selected the pot

roast over the pot pie, reasoning that the pot pie likely wouldn’t reheat as well. The pot roast is cooked in a red ale gravy with carrots, red onions and celery, and served with garlic mashed potatoes. Not usually a fan of cooked carrots, my companion enjoyed every morsel, proclaiming the various flavors complemented each other perfectly.

Bulldog Ale House offers 32 beers on draft and 22 in bottles at the Carol Stream

the standard varieties you’d expect at any bar, and some more esoteric brands, such as Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse, Half Acre Daisy Cutter and Shock Top Belgian White. If you enjoy a draft brew, there’s probably something here for you.

As you might’ve guessed, we didn’t have room for dessert, but would’ve been interested in the giant chocolate chip cookie (topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate syrup) or

whipped cream and chocolate syrup). But then, who’s going to make it as far as dessert when the appetizer and meal portions are so tasty and generous? Maybe if we just split an entree …

t National University of Health Sciences, if you’ve finished your general education requirements, you can earn a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science in as little as 16 months. Not only that, NUHS gives you the freedom to tailor your own degree program by letting you create a course list that matches your unique goals. Whether you plan to use your science education for a career in business, health care, or as a prelude to graduate school, you can construct a specific program to give you the best preparation.

According to Dr. Randy Swenson, dean of NUHS’ College of Allied Health Sciences, “You can choose from any combination of courses in our BS program to complete your bachelor’s degree. There are no required core courses, just a requirement that you earn 64 credits. So no matter which of our many courses you pick to meet those credits, you’re on track.”

That means that if you are interested in medical administration or hospital work, you can choose courses in Medical Spanish, Medical Terminology and Computer Software. Planning a career in sports and fitness, how about adding courses in Sports and Performance Nutrition, Kinesiology, or Exercise Physiology? If you are looking for a place in research or laboratory work, you might choose courses in Research Methods and Statistics, or Epidemiology. If you want to learn more about how the brain works, NUHS offers Biopsychology and Neuroscience.

“Most of our students are interested in nutrition,” Dr. Swenson says. “That’s why NUHS has six separate courses in nutrition and food science available in the BS program.”

NUHS is a primary destination for those seeking a professional career in natural health care. Originally founded in 1906 as a single purpose chiropractic college, National’s academic programs now encompass chiropractic medicine, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, oriental medicine, massage therapy, and more.

The best part of earning your bachelor’s degree at National University is that you’ll be taught by many of the same faculty who teach in the professional degree programs, and you’ll use the graduate-level facilities of one of the world’s top universities specializing in natural medicine. NUHS boasts an outstanding library of 13,000+ volumes devoted to health science, a cadaver-based gross anatomy laboratory, as well as an on-campus student clinic where you can take advantage of free health services.

NUHS’ beautiful 35-acre Lombard campus is conveniently located in suburban Chicago, and offers on-campus housing, financial aid counseling, a student fitness center, and several student social and professional networking organizations.

usy adults need to make the most of their time. Work and family commitments keep down time to a minimum, so taking on the additional load of a college student is a big decision. They need a program that makes the most of their time. Courses that are directly applicable to the career, and partnerships with students who take their college experience seriously, and have similar goals.

With that in mind, Northwood University’s DuPage campus in Glen Ellyn location offers an Adult Degree Program, which gives students the opportunity to pursue their education while maintaining the flexibility they need to balance family, work and school.

“Northwood offers evening, weekend or online formats, as well as innovative options like our ‘3+1’ degree program, which allows students the opportunity to complete three years of coursework at partnership institutions

like College of DuPage and Harper College, before completing their final year at Northwood University,” said Ann Marie Rosen, regional development manager.

The Northwood University student generally arrives with prior college credits from another university or community college. Many have been out of college for a while or took a break to focus on their career and family. They also have some students who are just beginning their university education.

The Glen Ellyn Adult Degree Program Center offers a variety of degrees in both hybrid (a blend of face-to-face and online) and completely online formats. Classes are designed in partnership with industry specialists and advisory boards and are taught by experts who are active in the business world.

Along with its Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Management and Marketing, the Glen Ellyn campus also offers

seven fully online degree programs including aftermarket management, automotive marketing management, health care management, marketing, entrepreneurship, management and finance as well as an online Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership. Northwood students work with one advisor from application all the way to graduation, assisting them with registration, academic advising, financial aid and ordering books.

“With classes in eight-week and weekend formats, students can complete two or more courses in the same 16-weeks it takes traditional students to complete one class,” she says. Students also have the opportunity to earn credit for work and military experience.

One student earned 27 credits for her prior work experience, Rosen said. “This made a tremendous impact on the quality of her life by enabling her to complete her degree faster and with substantial savings on top of it.”

Memorable medal

By JASON ROSSI

jrossi@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – A little more than two years ago, Mike Hobbs was just cracking Downers Grove South’s varsity wrestling lineup.

Fast forward to his senior season, and Hobbs ascended to be among the elite wrestlers in Illinois. On Saturday, he capped his high school career with a 3-1 win at the Class 3A state tournament at the State Farm Center.

Hobbs finished fifth at 285 pounds, but his satisfaction with that finish nearly matched the elation felt by

Hobbs’ state scores

“I never thought something like this could happen to me.”

Having state experience helped, and some state champions. he stuck to a game plan that “Yeah, it’s great, especially might have been cause for conat heavyweight this year be- sternation for his coaches. cause it’s a pretty deep class,” “Being here before, it kind Hobbs said. “It’s a great feel- of shook the nerves for me. I ing. I never thought I was go- was less tentative this time

and more sticking to my stuff,” Hobbs said. “I would just wait.

I would tire guys out first and second period and wait to take my shots in the last period. That’s just why I was in some pretty close matches and had my coaches scared in the [quarterfinal] wrestleback.”

Hobbs, who finished the season with a 39-6 record, wasn’t the only Downers Grove wrestler at state, but he was the only all-state finisher.

Wrestling for South, Joe Nugent was 0-1 at 132 while Shawn Jager went 0-2 at 160.

Both are juniors who will have another opportunity to medal at state next year.

Downers Grove North sophomore Pat Walker had a solid state run but did not place at 106.

He won his first match 3-1, which earned him a showdown with eventual state finalist Jason Renteria of Oak Park-River Forest. Walker lost that quarterfinal bout 8-1 and was bounced into the backdraw. He won a wrestleback match 6-4 before taking his second loss and being bounced from the tournament.

North senior Nick Bonomo lost his first state match at 170 but won a wrestleback match before falling out of the tournament.

Playoff time is here for DGN, DGS, Benet Teams eye title trip to Peoria

Sectional: East Aurora Seed: No. 20 First game: 6 p.m. Monday vs.

No. 13 Hinsdale South Outlook: It has been a tough up and down season for the Trojans so far, but they have the pieces in place to make some noise in the postseason.

In 6-foot-7 junior forward David Edwards and 6-5 sophomore Matt Mahlke, North has a solid presence in the paint.

Guard Myles Farley and forward Ray Greco provide veteran leadership, while sophomore and varsity newcomer Devin Blake is an explosive playmaker that creates matchup problems for opposing defenses.

Hinsdale South has size to match with 6-foot-8 Barret Benson, and Larry Motuzis is another playmaker to keep an eye on.

With a win over the Hornets, the Trojans would face No. 4 Hinsdale Central in a regional semifinal at 7 p.m.

Tuesday.

By JASON ROSSI

jrossi@shawmedia.com The Class 3A and 4A boys basketball playoffs tip off next week, and while teams from the area will head different directions at the start of the postseason, the end goal is the same — to reach Carver Arena in Peoria for the state finals March 21 and 22.

Benet

Class: 4A Regional: Lemont Sectional: East Aurora Seed: No. 1 First game: 6 p.m. Tuesday vs.

No. 16 Lemont or No. 17 Oswego East Outlook: The Redwings’ 16-7 record as of Feb. 21 may not look all that impressive, but they definitely earned their No. 1 seed in the sectional.

Benet has not lost to a team with a losing record, and in defeats against Fenwick, Marian Catholic, St. Viator and Stevenson, last year’s state runner-up, the Redwings have faced some of the best teams and players in the state.

Sean O’Mara, a 6-foot-9 Xavier recruit, is the centerpiece of Benet’s offense and is one of the top post players in the state. The senior is a dangerous player in the paint, both offensively and defensively, but the Redwings also have a host of dangerous shooters, Collin Pellettieri, Colin Bonnett and Liam Nelligan among them, that complement O’Mara’s play.

Benet advanced to the sectional championship game last season, and a similar playoff run isn’t out of the question this year. If the Redwings win their playoff opener, they will advance to the regional title game at 7 p.m. March 7, where they would face either No. 8 Waubonsie Valley or No. 9 Naperville North.

Seed: No. 3

First game: 7 p.m. Tuesday vs.

No. 14 Downers Grove South or No. 19 Batavia Outlook: This time last year, Ben Moore was starring for Bolingbrook’s basketball team. He is now a freshman standout at SMU, and the Raiders are shining without him.

Gage Davis (IPFW) and Kenny Williams (Eastern Michigan) are college-bound seniors, and Prentiss Nixon and Julian Torres are juniors who seem destined to play at the next level, but the Raiders’ core goes deeper than that.

Josh Dillingham, Shakur Triplett, C.J. Redmond, Devon Sams and Brodric Thomas have also had standout games this season, and that depth should serve Bolingbrook well in the postseason.

The outright champions of the SouthWest Suburban Blue conference, the Raiders would

with an abundance of size, so the secret to the Mustangs’ success is no secret.

Anyone that has seen them play knows their strength is the outside shot. But knowing about it and stopping it are two different things, and since the calendar flipped to 2014, South has been on fire from long range.

Danny Spinuzza, Paul Engo III, Wes Dahle, Kovas Rugienius, Mantas Augustinavicius and Matt Zinnecker can all bury the 3-pointer, but teams that over-commit to defending the perimeter pay the price because all those players, plus Darryl Howard, Javon Turner and DeAndre Downers Grove North’s Ray Greco drives downcourt after he and Washington, are all capable of teammates Colin Kramper (left) and David Edwards force a turnover in slashing to the hoop and fina game earlier this season.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Downers Grove South Senior | Wrestling Why Hobbs was selected: Hobbs was an all-state finisher at the state wrestling tournament, taking fifth at 285 pounds.

From not being on varsity two years ago to state medalist, how did that happen?

My coaches worked me hard. Ever since my sophomore year, I’ve been pushing it. After my sophomore year, I realized I could take this somewhere. It’s just been non-stop work.

How do you sum up your season?

This year was pretty good so I just have to build on this. I’m going to take this into college.

What are you future plans for wrestling?

I’m hoping to wrestle in college. Still looking around, but I’ve got a couple choices.

YORK – It took some time, but Downers Grove North’s girls basketball team finally got going and defeated York 41-38 on Friday to claim the Class 4A York regional title.

“We didn’t execute as well as we would have liked on offense and defense for the first three quarters, but we picked up the intensity late in the third quarter, got after it more and started playing with a sense of urgency,” head coach Stephan Bolt said.

The Trojans were scheduled to play Batavia in a sectional semifinal on Tuesday.

Friday’s victory was North’s first regional title since the 1995-96 season, and the Trojans improved to 253. Senior Sarah Costello was the linchpin on offense as she went over 1,000 points in her career. She had 28 points and 18 rebounds.

“She put us on her back,” Bolt said. “She refused to lose.”

MIKE HOBBS

Two years ago as a sophomore, Mike Hobbs wasn’t even on Downers Grove South’s varsity wrestling team. Fast forward to his senior season, and Hobbs capped his high school career by winning his final match to earn a fifth place finish at the state wrestling tournament over the weekend. The two-time state qualifier has plans to continue his career in college, though he is still undecided on his destination. Hobbs, the Sears Hardware & Appliance Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about his prep career, his senior season and state tournament, and his plans for the future.

“[Sarah Costello] put us on her back. She refused to lose.”

Your Dogs Home Away From Home While You’re On Spring Break Vacation….

Who’s Going Love and Take Care Of Your Beloved Pet Florida, Hawaii, or the Bahamas…..Where are you going for Spring break? You don’t care as long as you’re not here and it’s warm … right? The temperature has been relentless and brutal.

Basically I feel like that old pizza that you forget about in the back of the freezer that hasn’t been seen in a year. Frozen and covered in ice crystals that have actually burned the food by being too cold for too long.

Too long is right…. Now that you know you’re going someplace warm do you have a place for your pet to enjoy their time away during their vacation? …No well maybe I can help you in making that decision.

Firstly I know how hard this is…you’re not sure if the neighbors can watch them or the in-laws have the time…they like to go on vacation too.

Secondly what are the options, vet…kennel….day

care center…how do you decide? (drum roll please) Solution… you gotta Do A Tour.

You Gotta meet the people.

As you know …You know your pet best. You will make your decision based on how you connect with that person that will be in the care of your pet.

It takes a bit of time to visit and get a feel for the people but its really the best way to do it.

I know I’m biased because this is what I do but having done this for nearly 13 years this is what people say to me. They are glad that they came out to visit us and they were very happy to see the facilities and go through the daily routine.

I can say all sorts of nice things but here are some of our reviews…

12/8/2010 David from Willow Brook We been using this kennel for 8 years. We are very happy with the care and attention our 2 dogs receive. The dogs are actually excited to go there!
