DOWNERS GROVE – For the first time in five years, the criterium bicycle course in Downers Grove was the site for culminating event of the Intelligentsia Cup Prairie State Cycling Series.

On Sunday, thousands of spectators gathered along Main Street to catch the glimpse of the final leg of the nine-day bike race that began July 17. The Prairie State Cycling Series course followed the same pinched-eight route as the USPro Criterium race, which was held in the village for 23 years.

Competitors began and ended at Main and Grove streets, and the course featured six left turns and two right turns winding throughout the village.

Prizes were awarded for beginning racers to seasoned elite amateurs, and short track races also were held for children.

How to help

emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Danny Spinuzza’s mom died from pancreatic cancer when he was 10, and it was sports that helped get him through it.

“I’ve always played sports as a kid, and that was kind of a rough part of my childhood,” he said. “But me and my dad, we grew [because of] sports, basically. He always was around to drive me to my practices and my games, and our relationship grew and got stronger.”

Local sports fans likely recognize Spinuzza’s name as a varsity basketball and baseball player at Downers Grove South High School, where he graduated this spring.

Now, he is using his talents to give back to the community and raise awareness of the disease that took his mother.

The 18-year-old and his friends hosted a volunteer four-day basketball camp for kids between 8 and 15 years old during the week of July 20 on the courts at O’Brien Park.

The effort was greeted by great weather and about 15 camp participants.

He spread the word the old-fashioned way, posting fliers throughout the community the week before the camp.

Starting July 22, Spinuzza and

a dozen friends woke up early each morning to teach the young athletes.

Each youth paid $20 for the camp, all of which is going to the National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.

“He’s just been inspiring these young kids,” said Holly Plys, whose 8-year-old son, Sammy, attended the camp.

“I think it’s wonderful to see some young people giving back some skills and things they’ve had good experiences with in the community.”

The camp usually started with stretching and a shoot around, followed by something fun like a game of knock out. Drills and fundamentals were next, with another fun activity and then a break for lunch. Each day ended with sprints up and down the hill at O’Brien Park.

“I’m blessed to have even 14, 15 kids come and support the Pancreatic Cancer Foundation to give their time to get better at basketball, and stronger and workout with us,” Spinuzza said. “It’s a lot of fun,

Next year, he will play baseball at Triton College in River Grove, and aspires eventually to earn a roster spot on a four-year collegiate program He also plans to make the camp an annual event, he said.

“I’ve always wanted to have something in remembrance of my mom,” Spinuzza said. “The main focus is to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer. I feel that in general people aren’t really familiar with this type of cancer. The more it gets out there, the more people might donate and maybe raise more awareness as the word spreads.”

The name for the camp, “Fear the Beard,” came from T-shirts his high school basketball teammates made in honor of Spinuzza’s full beard.

FACIAL PAIN Q: Are dental issues possibly related to facial pain?

A: Roughly 15 percent of American adults, according to the American Dental Association, suffer from chronic facial pain, which can range from intense pain in and around the jaw and ear to moderate pain and clicking or popping noises when opening the mouth to speak or chew. The pain can radiate into a general ache in the head and/or neck. Dental issues most certainly can cause facial pain.

An infection in the sinus, in a tooth or in the gums can lead to facial pain. The pain may also emanate from a problem with a muscle or a problem with the temperomandibular joint of the jaw, which is in front of the ear. Your dentist will most likely be able to identify the cause of the problem with a thorough exam that might include x-rays. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment could be something as simple as stress-reduction exercises or musclerelaxing medication. Some cases have been resolved by wearing a mouth guard at night to prevent teeth grinding, a condition also known as bruxism. Your dentist is the best source for information and answers on facial pain and ways to treat it.

DOWNERS GROVE – Rising property taxes have inspired area state lawmakers Rep. Ron Sandack (R-Downers Grove), Sen. Christine Radogno (R-Lemont) and Rep. Jim Durkin (R- Western Springs) to host free tax seminars Thursday to help area residents better understand their tax bill and how to appeal a property tax over assessment, according to a press release.

“My office receives calls regularly from constituents who believe their property assessments are too high,” Sandack said in a statement. “I would encourage any resident who is concerned with their tax bill to attend one of these informational sessions so they can learn how assessments are determined and how they

may appeal those assessments if they believe they are too high.”

Seminars will be hosted at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Lisle Township Tax Assessors Office, 4721 Indiana Ave., Lisle, and at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Darien Police Department, 1710 Plainfield Road, Darien.

Theresa Cockrell, the Downers Grove Tax Assessor, will assist with the Darien presentation.

The event at the Darien location is limited to 43 participants.

Registration is required, and a spot can be reserved by calling Radogno’s office at 630243-0800, Sandack’s district office at 630-737-0504 or Durkin’s district office at 630-325-2028.

Naperville Township Assessor Warren Dixon III will be available at both seminars.

Scarletti’s owners reflect on restaurant closing

By ED McMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Popular downtown Downers Grove eatery Scarletti’s Italian Kitchen closed its doors for good this June.

Pam Kellam said when she opened the restaurant with husband Paul Giagnorio in December 2010, they thought running the business would allow them to spend more time together.

“However, what we didn’t realize was that we would have so little quality time together or with our family,” the Hinsdale couple wrote in a closing message to their customers. “We have missed many flagship family events these past few years and there have been several others that only one of us could attend while the other stayed behind to manage the restaurant.”

She said in a phone interview that they initially planned to open a pizzeria because of Giagnorio’s family’s successful chain of six pizza

restaurants. But when they found the space to lease at the corner of Main Street and Warren Avenue, they decided to go for a full Italian menu, in addition to the pizza pies.

Kellam said she is still enjoying her new-found free time, but there is a lot to miss, as well.

“We definitely miss the food that we cooked there,” she said. “We miss all the people.

It was nice, we got to know all our guests really well.”

She said Giagnorio also works a full-time corporate job.

“He worked early in the morning until it was time to go to Scarletti’s,” she said.

“It’s tough to own a restaurant when you have another fulltime job.

“It was a great experience.

We’re real proud of what we did, and it just became overwhelming when it came to the number of hours. So we decided it would be better for us long-term to not continue doing it.”

They wrote in the message

NATURE’S BEST FRESH MARKET WE ACCEPT - ILLINOIS LINK - M/C, VISA, DISCOVER - American Express

naturesbestfreshmarket.com

to customers that before closing, the business had hoped to add a private party room to host more private events. That would have enabled it to increase its staffing structure, making the restaurant less dependent on the owners.

“Unfortunately, we are landlocked at this location,” they wrote. “When we investigated other potential sites, we didn’t find a new location that fit us.”

When asked if they might consider another venture into the restaurant world, Kellem said “never say never.”

“But, right now, we’re kind of enjoying our free time.”

Downtown Downers Grove Management Corporation Director Linda Kunze said the realtor recently hosted an open house for the location, and that several restaurants already have inquired about the space.

The 3,100 square-foot space seats about 75 inside and another 35 people outside. It also has Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com a separate carry-out section.

Vintage aircraft, Breezy, lands in Downers Grove years – also featured in the Chicago Air and Water Show – before selling it to Mark Trimble of Branson, Mo., in 1999.

On Thursday, a friend of Trimble’s, Dave Kennerly, flew the plane into Downers Grove to meet with Zimmerman. The Breezy has been highly modified with amphibious floats, and fitted with a much larger engine, along with an actual Nautical Captain’s Steering Wheel as the control yoke, ac-

cording to a news release.

Zimmerman built his current Breezy in 1995, and flew alongside his first plane, piloted by Kennerly, to Oshkosh, Wis., for the big Breezy 50th Anniversary Celebration, where about 12 Breezy aircraft participated in festivities.

Zimmerman’s first flight with his current Breezy was in September 1998. He and his “Breezy N3AZ” have flown more than 12,000 passengers

and registered more than 1,400 Young Eagles, according to a press release. Young Eagles is a free program started by EAA in 1992 featuring volunteer pilots who help bring aviation to youth between the ages of 8 and 17.

Zimmerman has been flying for more than 59 years and has received many awards.

He was inducted into the Illinois Aviation Hall of Fame in 2010, and received the Wright

were reported by police during the sting.

Andler said the Downers Grove Police Department continued the effort following their cooperation with the FBI, leading to the arrests of a 20-year-old woman July 16 at the Extended Stay America.

On July 11, officers charged a 45-year-old Rockford woman with keeping a place of prostitution, unlawful possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia at the Red Roof Inn in Downers Grove, after an officer observed a man in a car call a woman standing outside her first-floor room.

Police questioned the man and matched the number he called to an online advertisement. He was not charged, and he claimed he met the woman at the Yorktown Shopping Center.

Earlier that afternoon, a 42-year-old woman from Rockford also was arrested at the same hotel and charged with keeping a place of prostitution, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of marijuana.

“I think the goal behind it is to deter people from coming to the Downers Grove area to solicit these types of services,” he said. “Our effort in this area is always going to be con-

tinuous and ongoing as long as people keep posting these ads and targeting these areas.”

At least three other women have been charged with prostitution-related offenses in Downers Grove this year, according to police reports.

He said the police only target ads of suspected prostitutes who specifically market their services toward Downers Grove.

The local hotels are notified ahead of the operation.

Red Roof Inn, Comfort Inn and Extended Stay management either did not return calls for comment or referred requests to corporate offices.

3 Things You Need To Know Before You Board Your Dog Just Anywhere.

SD • Wednesday, July 30, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

DOWNERS GROVE – The spike in prostitution-related arrests this summer in Downers Grove partially is the result of an annual FBI sting assisted by the Downers Grove Police Department.

The FBI’s Operation Cross Country took place in midJune, with a goal of rescuing juveniles who have been pressed into sex work, and prosecuting their pimps, according to an FBI press release.

During the sting, FBI agents and local law enforcement answer online posts

that advertise sex services in Downers Grove, according to Downers Grove Police Sgt. Harry Andler.

The alleged prostitutes then are arrested when they arrive at the rendezvous point, typically a local hotel. None of the women arrested were from Downers Grove.

As a part of the sting, police made several prostitution-related arrests at Downers Grove Comfort Inn, including a 19-year-old from Milwaukee, a 28-year-old and 25-year-old from Lisle and a 22-year-old from Calumet City.

No arrests of juveniles for prostitution-related charges

Supporting student success at District 99 At the July Board of Education meeting, District 99 presented our annual “state of the district” report and progress that we’re making on our five-year strategic plan. Key accomplishments that we’ve made during the 2014-15 school year include: • Encouraging more students to enroll in rigorous advanced placement (AP), honors and dual credit courses – nearly one in five students (919) took one or more AP exams in 2013-14.

• Integrating and enhancing math courses to align to new state standards, and incorporating measures to assess speaking, listening and COMMUNITY writing standards into other VOICE subjects. Teachers across Mark all disciplines have been McDonald involved in the improvement and evolution of our standards.

• Addressing the needs of underachieving students by studying and improving the types of assistance we offer. Students received nearly 20,000 interventions from classroom teachers in 2013-14--nearly double the number of interventions they received in 2011-12.

• Continuing our focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curriculum, enrolling more than 250 students in new physics and engineering courses.

• Deepening our ability to serve students and respond to their social, emotional and college and career planning needs.

For example, Downers Grove South High School’s counseling and student support services program achieved Recognized American School Counselor Association Model Program certification, which validates that the school’s program aligns with nationally known best practices and services.

• Piloting “one-to-one” learning (providing individual laptops) to 200 students. We plan to expand the pilot to 1,500 targeted students in 2014-15.

• Completing the Transition 99 program facility on time and on budget, continuing our commitment to serve students with special needs and prepare them with vital life skills.

• Refining and improving our teacher evaluation process to meet new state guidelines, to ensure that students continue to receive high quality instruction.

District 99 is fortunate to be part of such a supportive community, where together we can ensure that every student achieves a successful future.

Mark McDonald is the superintendent of schools at District 99, which includes North High School and South High School in Downers Grove. To learn more about the district’s strategic plan, visit www.csd99.org/strategicplan.

Clean up Downers Grove

Hey residents of Downers Grove, how about we clean up the trash from our yards? I live just northeast of downtown Downers Grove and I walk into town several days a week. I see debris sitting in yards for days, if not weeks. The village doesn’t pick up trash blown in yards or thrown on lawns from idiots who are too lazy to find a garbage can. It doesn’t take much to walk out of your house, pick up the trash and throw it away. And while you are at it, how about picking some weeds out of the landscaping rock and maybe picking them up instead of leaving them rot on your lawn? A lot of you look like you don’t care about your yard. We live in Downers Grove, people, not Dumpsville. Act like you care or move to somewhere where you can be a slob.

to get a job we, the English speakers, must learn another language. Don’t make us learn their language. We aren’t in their home country, they are in ours.

Make them learn our language.

Whatever language you speak in your house is your business, but don’t expect people on the street, in a store or elsewhere to cater to you. … If I was in their home country, I would try my best to learn the basics of their language. Be polite and courteous, learn English!

District 99 eyes tentative budget

By ED McMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Downers Grove School District 99 board members took a first look at the new fiscal year’s tentative budget Monday that would see revenues increase by about $1.8 million, or 2.2 percent, to $83.93 million.

The increase in revenues comes almost entirely from property tax revenues, which would increase 2.2 percent.

The property tax increase for existing properties was capped by law to the consumer price index increase of 1.7 percent. The remainder of the 2.2 percent came from new construction.

“We did have a positive movement in new construction, “District 99 Controller Mark Staehlin told the board.

It was “very small but it’s in the right direction from 0.3 to 0.5.”

Though revenues are slated to exceed expenses in the tentative budget, figures provided by district staff showed expenses rising at a faster clip than revenues over last year.

Expenses are predicted to raise by 2.9 percent, from $80.22 million to $82.58.

The largest portion of the increase came from salaries, increasing from $52.8 million to $54 million. Staehlin told the board that salary increases with all contract groups were kept at 2.2 percent or less this year, to stay in-line with the property tax growth.

Purchased services also will see a large increase, from $7.5 million to $8.15 million, a jump of $655,635, or 8.7 percent. That mostly is due to the new busing contract approved earlier this year.

“When we approved that contract that was about a 20 percent increase by itself,” he said. “So that’s what we’re seeing there. We are working to lower that increase, but right now we have to put it into the budget.”

Staehlin said the district plans to work with the busing contractor to buy fuel directly to avoid sales taxes, and to reduce the number of bus routes to lower costs.

The board approved the tentative budget for the new fiscal year, which began July 1, largely without discussion, following Staehlin’s presentation. The budget is slated for final approval at the Sept.

15 meeting.

Village revamps plan for snow removal SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – The Village of Downers Grove is revamping its snow removal plan and adding equipment following the 2013-14 harsh winter that resulted in service delays.

A shortage of snow plow drivers due to injuries, a shortage of functioning snow equipment, the regional salt shortage, the previous snow route configuration and the number of snowfalls greater than four inches all contributed to the service delays, ac-

cording to a new report from village staff.

The new plan includes using existing employees previously assigned to other tasks to help with snow plowing.

The village also recently purchased a 5-ton truck that will be used for snow operation and approved the construction of a larger salt dome for more storage.

Staff also is proposing changes to the 10 snow routes to improve efficiency, according to the report.

Unfortunately, not all World War II veterans are able to visit the memorial in person. For them, there’s now another way to receive the recognition they deserve.

On Sunday, the Pillars of Honor organization brought the original scale model of the memorial to the Oak Trace living center for a Day of Honor, complete with a presentation

not be moved to tears by the display, he said, but “their families appreciate it and they appreciate,” he said. “It’s the least we can do for them.”

Veterans like Beck and Richard Veldman, both Oak Trace residents in Downers Grove, planned to see the model on Sunday even though both have been to the real thing.

Beck said he wishes all veterans could make the Honor Flight, which left a huge impression.

“It is the greatest trip,” he said. “The entire experience was wonderful.”

The 88-year-old enlisted in the Navy during the war, when he was 17, and was made

an aviation ordinance-man on a small aircraft carrier, called a CVE for Carrier Vessel Escort.

Or, as Beck and his fellow sailors lovingly called it, “Combustible, Vulnerable and Expendable.”

Nevertheless, the Carrier Vessel Escort returned Beck safely from the war after having assisted the invasion of the Philippines, and surviving kamikaze attacks during the invasion of Iwo Jima, among other campaigns, he said. He went on to raise a family in Wheaton with his wife, Natalie.

Veldman, 87, got to visit the memorial in 2000, as an anni-

versary gift from his son to him and his wife, Marthann.

Like Beck, he volunteered for the Navy at 17.

He said he thinks efforts like Pillars of Honor are important to keep the lessons and history of WWII present for younger generations.

“I think the memories of World War Two are slowly disappearing as the veterans disappear,” Veldman, 87, said.

“The young people these days really don’t remember anything about it. It’s something at that time had to be done. I don’t think that type of war is possible today. In those days, you knew what you were fighting for.”

“A Doctor’s Confession to the Village of Downers Grove…”

Dear Friend, Confessions are diicult, but I want to set the record straight. In order to do this, I irst need to give you some history. A few years ago, I met Kristin. She had been sufering from debilitating cluster headaches, a severe form of migraines that occur daily. She was failing out of school and had become depressed due to her feeling of helplessness and unrelenting pain. She sought treatment from neurologists, ophthalmologists, dentists, ENTs, spend 5 days in the ER and was only ofered an array of drugs with awful side efects. Finally, she was referred to a chiropractor. Within a week, her headaches were gone.

She has been free of these clusters for years now, and illed with regret only that she had not gone to this doctor sooner. his is where I come in; I helped Kristin with these headaches, as I have helped many patients with various health problems. Here’s what some of them have said,

Although Chiropractic faces many skeptics, the studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed 99% of patients who saw a Chiropractor were satisied with the results. Studies also show that chiropractic can double your immune capacity naturally, which keeps you from getting sick, saving money on medical bills.

Our low cost treatments are afordable and can get results without having to rely on pain meds to get through the day. An entire week of care in my oice may cost what you might pay for one visit elsewhere.

Restaurant reviews

Oak Brook Pinstripes offers ‘sophisticated fun’ OAK BROOK – A luxurious reimagining of restaurant and bowling alley is at the playful heart of Pinstripes.

On a recent Sunday evening, we discovered it to be home to three B’s: a tempting bistro, indoor and outdoor bocce ball courts, and upscale bowling lanes.

Situated on the perimeter of Oakbrook Center, the expansive two-story building extends to private party spaces and patios landscaped for privacy, and boasting a water feature, fire pits and flaming torches that bring all the elements together for a fun night out as a couple or with friends and family.

Kids and adults will find bocce ball an easy game to pick up, and parents will relish the younger set having a ready diversion. But games are optional, because dining at Pinstripes is an attraction in itself.

The patio full, we sat in the all-season section outside the attractive bistro with its stone and wood decor and eye-catching wine cellar to complement the craft beer selection.

We were under a roof, but the walls – giant glass garage doors – were open to a beautiful summer night. Later on, with cappuccino in hand, we made our way to the circle of Adirondack chairs surrounding a fire pit.

We didn’t want an evening to end that had started with a basket of freshly baked, warm bread accompanied by herbed oil and Parmesan. My companion enjoyed a tomato basil soup, and then our wonderful entrees arrived.

He’d selected a wood-fired flatbread with fig and prosciutto, a generous eight slices that easily could double as an appetizer for four. The sweetand-savory balance of cheese and toppings was superb, and we both decided it was the closest we’d come in our eternal search for the perfect thin crust. Actually, I think we arrived.

Q&A

By SCOTT SCHMID

Slugger stays connected to game in retirement sschmid@shawmedia.com

SD • Wednesday, July 30, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

During a 22-year Major League career that came to a close in 2012, Jim Thome hit more than 600 home runs while playing for six different teams, including the Chicago White Sox. After hanging up the spikes, the Peoria native was hired by the White Sox as a special assistant to general manager Rick Hahn in July of 2013.

On July 23, Thome made an appearance at the White Sox Silver Slugger Camp in Lisle and signed autographs before talking with the aspiring Major Leaguers in attendance.

Thome also took time to speak with Suburban Life sports reporter Scott Schmid about teaching the young players, working for the White Sox, the Hall of Fame induction of White Sox legend Frank Thomas and his own chances of making it into the Hall of Fame.

Schmid: What is it like for you to be able to come to these camps and spend time with the kids?

Thome: It’s nice, especially this time of the year. My son is in youth baseball now so that gets me involved. The biggest challenge is getting kids back on a baseball field, so getting a group of kids like this playing and having fun is great. I remember back in Peoria growing up, we’d always play pick-up games.

It’s important to get kids back involved with playing ball in any capacity.

Schmid: How much did it mean to you to come back to the White Sox as a special assistant, and how are you enjoying it so far?

Thome: I love it, working for Jerry [Reinsdorf, White Sox Chairman] and Rick [Hahn, General Manager] and Kenny [Williams, Executive Vice President]. It’s just been enjoyable. I get the best of both worlds, I get to be at home but I also get to be at the ballpark. Plus, I’ve gone on a few assignments to the minor leagues and gotten a chance to see some of our

Schmid: How special was it to play for the White Sox for four seasons?

still be around the game but also be with my family. It eased the transition to where I’m at. It’s definitely been great to learn the other side, to learn about the other parts of the game I never knew existed.

Schmid: Is retirement treating you well?

Thome: I’m enjoying it.

When Jerry called and brought me back, I found that thing in my life where I could

and still have that desire to want to get back in the box.

But now it’s about passing

the torch down, and with the position that I’m in, maybe I can do that.

Schmid: What are your thoughts on Frank Thomas being inducted into the Hall of Fame and have you thought about getting in yourself?

Thome: Frank no question is a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

He was a force when he played and it is great for the city of Chicago and for the White Sox. He is very well deserving, from the player’s side, just look at his numbers.

And I think I will let the process play its course, I try not to get too far ahead of myself. But it would be great to be a part of it and if it ever happened one day, I would be as excited as Frank is.

Golfers hone their skills on driving range at the Bolingbrook Golf Club Golf Academy practice facility.

Carter Ester of Wheaton works July 24 on chipping at Cantigny Golf Club in Wheaton.

Bolingbrook Golf Club

Cantigny Golf Club

WHERE: 1001 Kings Road, Bolingbrook CONTACT: 630-771-9400 and bolingbrookgolfclub.com AMENITIES: Located apart from the main clubhouse, this practice center was voted among the top 50 public facilities in the country by the Golf Range Association of America in 2013. With 40 artificial turf mats and 75 grass tees, hundreds of golfers can hit at the same time. Sizable and well-manicured chipping and putting greens are on site, but what helps set this club apart is the practice holes. Four greens with two holes each align with several tee boxes and include all the obstacles – bunkers, fescue, rough – players might encounter on the course, allowing golfers to create their own practice holes that play up to 250 yards.

WHERE: 27W240 Mack Road, Wheaton CONTACT: 630-260-8199 and cantignygolf.com AMENITIES: Cantigny is home to a terrific practice facility with every possible amenity available for players looking to take their games to the next level. The facilities are well-maintained. There are nearly 70 hitting stations available on the range with both mats or grass tees, along with a chipping area and putting green, and the price for a bucket of range balls starts at just $7.

Bill Ackerman - backerman@ shawmedia.com

Chicago Players Club

WHERE: 8500 W. 79th St., Justice CONTACT: 708-924-9889 and chicagoplayersclub.com AMENITIES: Located just south of Archer Avenue and a little east of La Grange Road, Chicago Players Club is a practice-only facility, but it still allows players to perfect their games. The club features 30 mats and 20 grass tees plus chipping and putting greens. A bucket of balls starts at $7, and there are heated hitting bays for players looking to stay sharp in colder months. Monthly memberships that include unlimited range balls are priced at $100, and a seasonal membership goes for $600. The amenities will get even better next year with the introduction of practice holes on site.

St. Andrews Golf Practice Center

The Village Links of Glen Ellyn

White Pines Golf Club

WHERE: 2241 Route 59, West Chicago CONTACT: 630-231-3160 and standrewsgc.com AMENITIES: The quality and size of this facility make it one of the best in the suburbs. Prices to hit off grass tees are a bit more expensive than that of mats; prices start at $4 a bucket. St. Andrews has 80 grass and 70 mat hitting stations in addition to putting and chipping greens. The grass tees close at dusk, but the mats are well lit for after-dark practice. This facility was voted among the top 50 public facilities in the country by the Golf Range Association of America in 2013.

WHERE: 485 Winchell Way, Glen Ellyn CONTACT: 630-469-8180 and villagelinksgolf.com AMENITIES: With the clubhouse having been recently rebuilt, the overall experience at Village Links seemingly gets better every year, and that includes the practice area.

The driving range offers more than 30 mats and also has grass tees to hit from, with buckets starting at $5. There also is a short game area and a putting green to hone short-game skills, and players can check their improvement by playing the Links’ nine-hole course, which is more forgiving than the challenging 18-hole circuit.

WHERE: 500 W. Jefferson St., Bensenville CONTACT: 630-766-0304 and whitepinesgolf.com AMENITIES: Grass and mats are available here on the same range, 30 of each, and there are two putting greens, but perhaps the best feature at White Pines is the availability of winter practice in the dome. It is open November through April and provides the ability to practice yearround. When in season, the dome is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily and includes 50 hitting stations on two levels along with a virtual golf simulator, five large target greens surrounded by bunkers, six suspended hitting targets and a 45-foot long contoured putting green.

Oak Meadows Golf Club

WHERE: 2606 York Road, Oak Brook CONTACT: 630-990-3032 and oak-brook.org/234/Golf-Club AMENITIES: One thing that sets Oak Brook apart from most practice facilities is that all of the 30 hitting stations on the driving range feature grass tees; there are no mats here. Hitting off grass tees in practice more closely resembles playing conditions out on the course and better prepares players for the rigors of a round. In addition to the driving range, where the price for a bucket of balls starts at $4.50, there is a large short-game near the range where players can practice the chipping and putting.

WHERE: 900 N. Wood Dale Road, Addison CONTACT: 630-595-0071 and dupagegolf.com AMENITIES: Oak Meadows’ all-grass hitting area is the best feature here. Although it is a smaller facility than some others in the area, with more than 30 grass hitting stations, this is a great place to go to practice. Instruction with PGAcertified teaching professionals is available. A small bucket on the range costs $5 while a large one will run $9, and there is a chipping area and putting green on site to work on short-game skills.

Erica Benson - ebenson@ shawmedia.com

Prairie Landing Golf Club

WHERE: 2325 Longest Drive, West Chicago CONTACT: 630-208-7600 and prairielanding.com AMENITIES: One of the best features of the practice area at Prairie Landing is that, along with a range, there are two dedicated practice holes where players can work on strategy and hitting shots. Having actual golf holes is great for practicing things that can’t be tested on the range, such as uphill, downhill or sidehill lies and working on pre-shot routines. Both mats and grass tees can be used at the range, while there also is a chipping and putting green.

Take a tour of nine of the area’s best golf practice facilities

Maximize your practice time with a 1-hour routine

The old adage says practice makes perfect, and the same holds true on the golf course.

Practicing is lots of fun – not! – but it can be if you do it properly and use your time well. There are so many things that can be fit into a good practice session that the room I have here is not nearly big enough to list 10 percent of them, but I will try to give you a few ideas to make it more structured and fun.

Let’s start by imagining the average practice session lasts one hour.

Here is how I suggest you split up the time.

0 to 5 minutes: Stretch, make warm-up swings with a low iron (I use a pitching wedge) and focus on keeping the swing as floppy and loose as possible. Do not worry how well you hit these shots.

5 to 10 minutes: Using a sand wedge or similar club, find a target within 50 yards and hit shots at it.

COMMUNITY VOICE IAN GRANT This should be a very easy swing and the effort level will be low. It also will help a great deal with your tempo and timing. Focus on the process of the swing making good shoulder turns and hitting each ball crisply.

10 to 20 minutes: Hit short-iron shots. Find a target on the range and hit wedge, 9-iron and 8-iron shots at it. Focus on keeping the swing fluid and finishing every shot in a pose you would be proud of if the Golf Magazine photographer was taking your photo at the end of your swing.

20 to 30 minutes: Hit mid- and long-iron shots. Similar to short-iron shots, find a target but this time make it a 10-yard wide target or be-

tween two points. Focus on stability and balance with these full swings and again work on the process, not the result.

30 to 40 minutes: Driver and fairway woods. The target increases in size here to 20 to 30 yards wide. Focus on keeping the swing smooth and relaxed. Try to hit five consecutive drives in your “fairway.”

40 to 50 minutes: Practice chipping and sand play. Work on the shots that will help you score better.

I count the number of successful ups and downs that I make for every five balls that I hit. First, that gives me a small number of balls to hit and second, it helps me chart my progress.

50 to 60 minutes: Head to the putting green. Alternate between short putts and long putts and, if possible, finish off by playing a nine-hole putting course around the practice green using one ball and keeping your score.

As you can see, this practice session really moves along and doesn’t leave much time to get bored.

Finally, in keeping with Rory McIlroy’s win at The British Open Championship this year, take a page out of his book and focus on the process while hitting balls. It is a key element in my instruction and if done properly will help lower your score.

Good luck out there, and should you need more help contact me or your local PGA professional.

at the Bulls/Sox Academy, and an outfield, bunting and baserunning instructor. “The kids had good questions for him and he hung around the different stations at the camp to work closely with the kids.”

Thome also lent his presence to a day camp at the Academy last winter, and he will be instructing players at a Silver Slugger Camp at Ackerman Park in Glen Ellyn later this summer. The second Silver Slugger Camp runs from Aug. 18 to 21.

“Spots are still open,” Huff said of the upcoming camp.

“There is still room for people to sign up.”
