Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com
School District 86 candidate Bill Carpenter (center) talks Tuesday with supporters Terri and Harry Bohn of Clarendon Hills at an election night party at Ashton Place in Willowbrook. Robert Bland, issued a lengthy statement Wednesday. “The voters have spoken and we are, of course, sad that none of our endorsed candidates were elected, hence, control of the District 86 High School board will now revert back to the teachers union. Our congratulations to the winners,” Bland wrote.
Planson said board member Kay Gallo normally sides with her on board issues, which will give her group a majority on the seven-member board. With board member Victor Casini announcing his resignation, she said the makeup of the board could change even further.
She said she hopes the new majority will bring more decorum to board meetings. “We will not be micromanaging,” she said. “We will allow the administration to do its job.” Carpenter, who served for eight years on Cass School District 63, said he will help bring true fiscal conservatism to a district that is working on a deficit. Both Planson and Carpenter said it will be important for the new board majority to work with the remaining members of the Conservative Slate. “We don’t have to agree but should support the decision of the board,” Carpenter said.
District 86 Board Member Victor Casini resigns on Election Day By MATTHEW HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Hinsdale High School District 86 Board Member Victor Casini handed in a letter of resignation Tuesday to Board President Richard Skoda. Casini said he waited until Tuesday to resign because he didn’t want his resignation to interfere with the election. Casini said the resignation was because of a change of circumstances relating to his career.
“Since my election two years ago, it has been difficult to juggle both my job and my duties as a District 86 School Board member,” Casini wrote in the letVictor Casini ter. In his letter, Casini said his resignation would take effect either immediately before a meeting where newly elected board members would be installed or earlier at Skoda’s request. Skoda did not return several calls

for comment regarding Casini’s resignation. Casini was elected to the board in April 2013 and selected by the board as president in May 2013 when the board was installed. He resigned as board president in July 2013 after citing time constraints from his job. “I found it impossible to devote adequate time to this position, to do a sufficient job and at the same time stay employed at my other job,” Casini said at the time. The board would need to select a new member to fill the remainder of

Casini’s term with a majority vote. If the board is unable to agree on a candidate to appoint within 45 days after the vacancy occurs, the DuPage County Regional Superintendent of Schools will fill the vacant position within 30 days, according to a news release from District 86. The board will be accepting resumes from district residents who are interested in filling the vacancy, the district said in the release. More information will be made available on the process for submitting applications when the board determines it.

HINSDALE – Hinsdale Township High School District 86 appears to be headed toward new leadership on its Board of Education. With all of the precincts reporting in Tuesday’s election, board candidates Bill Carpenter, Kathleen Hirsman and Jennifer Planson won resoundingly against the Conservative Slate led by board president Richard Skoda, according to unofficial election night results. Carpenter, Hirsman and Planson each received roughly 8,000 votes, which is about 3,000 more than each Conservative Slate candidate. Planson, who is the lone incumbent among the three, said voters have not liked the dysfunction of the board under Skoda’s leadership. She said the board leadership has shown a lack of respect for members of the district, which nearly led to a teacher strike last fall. “[Voters were] concerned about the tarnished reputation our district has had,” she said. Skoda did not return several calls for comment. His campaign manger,

There’s no lazy days OUR VIEW State senators seeing signs of summer at D-86 As we come back from spring break, the speed to the end of the school year only can be described as breakneck. So many exciting things happen during the last few weeks of school. Prom, college commitments, awards, graduation, the exhilaration of knowing classes will soon be over for the school year, throw in brighter days and better weather, who could ask for more? We do. While we enjoy the culmination of the school COMMUNITY year and pause to celebrate VOICE with our fellow staff and stuBruce dents, we are looking ahead Law to a busy summer. Summer is the time we gear up to move forward on the plans for the upcoming school year. Enhanced summer school program: Summer school offers students who have veered off track the opportunity to recover credits for graduation. We also use summer school to boost freshmen who might struggle in the semesters ahead. This year, we are beginning an expansion of summer school programming to include opportunities like a computer code writing class and possibly a Mandarin Chinese course. New communications tools: District 86 will be working during the summer to upgrade our websites and roll out mobile apps for improved communications with our families. We live in a world of high-speed digital communications and our capabilities will soon reflect the expectations families and community members alike have for us to communicate with them about events, grades and important information they need. A new budget: This year, we are building our budget from the ground up. The tentative budget we present in June will be based on needs identified by departments across District 86 for the upcoming year – not just a cursory roll forward of amounts budgeted the year before. Moreover, we prioritize what we need so the budget we present shows how we will continue our tradition of excellence and live within our means. Enhancing professional practice: Summer also is a busy time for preparing for new programs and initiatives coming next year. We are migrating to Google Apps for Education, which will allow every teacher to extend learning beyond the classroom walls. We are focusing on assessment practices to ensure that our assessments provide the best information possible about what students have learned. We also are working this summer to finalize the new teacher evaluation program, which will provide our teachers with a clear road map to provide the highest level of instruction possible to our students.

of hope in Springfield
To hear state Sens. Michael Connelly and Chris Nybo describe it, there’s a new mood in Springfield. Connelly and Nybo, who between them represent most of DuPage County in the Illinois Legislature, stopped by the Suburban Life newsroom the other day to chat about what’s going on in Springfield and their priorities for the immediate future. One of the things that stood out during the discussion was their assertion that there’s an entirely new atmosphere at the state capitol. To some degree that’s to be expected whenever there’s a change in the governor’s office – was anyone sorry to see Rod Blagojevich depart, regardless of who replaced him? – but what Connelly and Nybo described was an environment where true bipartisanship has a chance to thrive. Imagine that, in Springfield of all places. Connelly and Nybo described how Gov. Bruce Rauner has made it a habit to share meals – breakfast, lunch and dinner – with legislators of both parties, on a regular basis. Connelly mentioned he has access to the governor via text message (one imagines that’s a privilege that would be quickly revoked if it was abused) and said that’s common now, and a far cry from his previous lack of access. You don’t have to think back very far to remember dissension not only between
the parties, but within the parties in Springfield. Conflict between then-Gov. Pat Quinn and House Speaker Michael Madigan led to the watered-down pension reform law that seems likely to meet its demise in the courts. With Republicans reduced to a superminority and needing only Democratic votes to pass legislation and a Democratic governor in office, it was still excruciatingly difficult for meaningful bills to get passed. A cynic might see Rauner’s overtures and dismiss it as mere window-dressing designed to elicit responses like this very editorial. But that would be a great length to go to just to fool some newspaper editors. Plus, the recent bipartisan effort to close a $1.6 billion gap in the 2015 budget, keeping state services and programs from shutting down, certainly showed a willingness of the two parties to work together, no matter how you feel about the deal itself. It’s no surprise Connelly and Nybo, both Republicans, feel a sense of optimism now that their party controls one of the branches of state government. But the available evidence, so far, seems to support their assertion that there really is a difference in the way things are being done now. We can only hope this will continue, with the 2016 budget on the horizon and a likely need for another stab at pension reform. From here, the issues only get more difficult to tackle.

What’s all this talk of late about full-day kindergarten all over the place? Kindergarten was never meant to be a full day. It was supposed to be an introduction to schooling for the young child. A full day is too long for the young child. What’s going to happen is the children are going to learn to hate school because they’re there too long. It seems to be that the backers of full-day kindergarten are the parents who want to work instead of being home with their children. My theory is that if you cannot afford to spend time at home with your children and just have one parent working, then maybe you shouldn’t be having children.

T-shirt to stop harassment
No endorsement needed Not shocked by COD stories
College of dysfunction? Who is watching out for students, faculty and staff at the College of DuPage? Kathy Hamilton appears to be the only board member that cares! Now we have yet another scandal. It appears as though the Foundation Board that is supposed to be raising private funding for the college is only raising the funding for their own pockets. … Talk about a conflict of interest! This is all from the president on down to the radio station and the board members – power gone bad!
A comment on Westmont codes Someone in Sound Off said in Westmont the enforcement [of village codes] was too lax and it was starting to look like the inner city. What does that mean? I don’t understand that. That doesn’t sound right to me.
As a resident of Elmhurst for 34 years, this is a first for me. Our alderman sent individual letters to his ward to promote an individual for election April 7. Enough knowledge is already available for candidates without the endorsement. The candidate should be able to stand for oneself and it will be the residents of Elmhurst that will make the choice not endorsements by alderman or city hall administration.

I’m not surprised with the recent onslaught of negative stories at COD. Many times as a manufacturing employer, I participated in COD Technical Center Job Fairs, Career Fairs and I walked the halls of the professors sharing my job descriptions for excellent entry level technical positions starting at more than $18 per hour. I told the professors to give me their top 10 students and they would have a job offer within a week. After numerous attempts on my part, not once did I ever receive a resume or a response from a professor. … COD has a wonderful Tech Center, but I thought the purpose of these centers was to find students jobs after they receive the skills.
Time to fix Fairview Avenue Downers Grove spent time working on Fairview Avenue near 55th last construction season, but the workers left it in worse shape than when they started. It’s time to fix it again.
Thank you, Western Springs Public Works Department Thank you to the Western Springs Public Works Department for keeping our streets cleared of snow during this past winter season.
Woodridge parking problem The post office in Woodridge needs more parking. On any given day, the employees are parked in the front area closest to the door and people have to carry their packages far because the employees are taking up the parking. I realize they don’t have enough parking; they need to add more parking. … Next to the post office is the police station parking. They need to add a few spots there so the [post office] employees have somewhere to park so customers have somewhere closer to park.

Police charge man after asking shopper to use stun gun on him By MATTHEW HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@shawmedia.com DARIEN – A Woodridge man was charged in Darien after he asked a patron of Jewel-Osco, 7329 Cass Ave., to shock him with a cellphone stun gun, according to police. Christopher Pele, 27, of the 1800 block of 71st Street, Woodridge, was charged about 11:35 a.m. March 26 with two counts of unlawful possession of a weapon after police recovered a cellphone-shaped stun gun and a switchblade. According to police, Pele was at Jewel-Osco when he approached a shopper and asked if they would shock him with a stun gun that was made to
look like a cellphone. The shopper declined and reported Pele to the store’s manager, who called police. Police said the stun gun and the knife were both recovered from Pele. According to Darien Deputy Chief John Cooper, stun guns are illegal to possess in public in Illinois, as well as many other states. A stun gun, like the type Pele allegedly possessed, is significantly different from a police Taser, Cooper said. A Taser, which ejects electrified barbs, is only available to police, but the company that produces them does make a civilian model. The stun gun possessed by Pele was battery powered and not a good choice for personal defense, Cooper said.

HINSDALE – The office of Gov. Bruce Rauner announced the appointment of a Hinsdale resident to the state’s Educational Labor Relations Board, according to a news release. Former U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert was named to the board April 3. The Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board is a state agency that oversees the administration of the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act. The act established the right for educational employees to organize and bargain collectively in 1984.
Previously, Biggert was a member of the Hinsdale Township High School Board of Education, as a member of the Illinois House of Representatives and represented the southwestern Chicago suburbs in U.S. Congress. During her time in Congress, Biggert served on the Education and the Workforce Committee, including subcommittees on Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education, and Higher Education and Workforce Training, according to the release. Biggert’s experience in Congress and in state and local government will allow her to bring a unique perspective to the board, the release stated.

My dining companion couldn’t resist the fish either, and helped polish off the generous serving. With thoughts still lured by dessert, half the pizza became takeout for lunch the next day. And then the dessert list arrived. We were torn between such choices as flourless chocolate cake and gelato, but went with the server’s recommendation: mascarpone

Pretty as a picture, it arrived on a plate drizzled with creme anglaise and topped with a raspberry nestled in a mint leaf. It paired well with a frothy cappuccino.

ELMHURST – In the mood to let seasoned pros do the cooking, we decided to make our first visit to Francesca’s Amici. It inhabits a warm, sophisticated space in downtown Elmhurst near the York Theatre. The spot is part of the regional collection of Francesca’s Italian restaurants, each with its own name. Among other suburban locations are La Grange, Bolingbrook and Naperville. Guiding us in from the dark, a glowing sign reading Amici (Italian for friends) crowns the inviting bar area off the entrance. The dining room is stylish with sleek booths and banquettes, and an artistic array of sepia photographs of people and places in Italy, capped with an undulating ceiling of curving beams set off by rolled copper mesh giving off a subtle sheen. Our server made us feel instantly welcome, and we soon had a small plate of freshly grated Parmesan to accompany a carafe of herbed olive oil for dipping our bread. An appetizer of scallops (capesante) in a bed of tomato risotto hit spicy notes to complement the creamy texture of the shellfish. Vowing to leave room for dessert, my dining companion selected a pizza with sausage, mushroom and his go-to spinach. He’d never been satisfied with the standard portion of spinach, until this pizza arrived, transformed from 2-D to 3-D by a tower of wonderfully prepared greens atop the pie. “I’m in awe,” he said at first sight. The fresh spinach tasted lightly sauteed with garlic, and he kindly shared a portion with me as an added side dish for my seafood plate. I ordered the tilapia paesana, expecting the thin fish I’ve encountered at the market. Instead, a plump, wonderfully moist fillet appeared, delicately breaded and smothered with a colorful melange of shredded

Hinsdale South adds 7 freshman players to 2015 varsity roster By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com
Live video online
HSL
DARIEN – Hinsdale South’s softball team encountered its share of struggles last season with a roster light on senior experience. The Hornets once again have few seniors, but an influx of young talent should help the team compete this season. “It’s a great group,” head coach Kelly Van Hout said. “I couldn’t ask for a better group of kids, and as long as they keep working hard and keep their heads up, there’s a lot of promise.” Among the four returning varsity players are seniors Gina Belmonte and Morgan Majcen. Juniors Sarah Hanson and Holli Jones also are back in the fold. Natalie Roti completes the senior trio while seven freshmen are on the varsity roster. Majcen will hold down the fort in center field while Hanson should see plenty of playing time at first base. Belmonte played third base Monday in a game against Naperville Central, but she can play multiple positions, which could be a theme throughout the season. “Our defense, it’s a matter of finding out what works and what doesn’t,” Van Hout said. “When you have so many newcomers, it’s just trying to figure things out. Kids are constantly being moved around because we’re trying to figure out what’s the best fit for our team.” Jones brings back experience as a catcher, which will be useful as freshmen Madison Kern and Marissa Marrera are part of a pitching staff that also includes Madalyn Little. Van Hout said the seniors have embraced leadership roles but not at the expense of letting the freshmen find their voices. “We have some leadership with Sarah, Holli and Gina. Now it’s how do

That’s a big step. We have a lot of freshmen, and that’s a huge jump to make being at the varsity.” The Hornets picked up their first win of the season April 2 when they topped Wausau West [Wis.] 17-11 in a tournament in Orlando. While it was the only win of a week-long trip, it was one of four games where South scored five or more runs. It was a good sign for a squad that struggled to put runs on

Hinsdale Central Red Devils
jrossi@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Hinsdale Central softball head coach Lee Maciejewski has never been hesitant about having freshmen on his varsity teams or playing young players. This season, the Red Devils have a mix of of young players and varsity veterans scattered across the diamond. “They’re good kids and they try hard,” Maciejewski said. “The freshmen put the bat on the ball and they have a nice [softball] background.” While Central has several underclassmen on the roster, three seniors will be key to the team’s success. Faith Koffron returns behind the plate, Emma Day is back in the outfield, and Annemarie Tracey will see time in the outfield and at pitcher. Junior Courtney Berlin will handle much of the pitching duties this season, and classmates Alysa Doneske [outfielder], Lauren Excell and Haley O’Connell should play key roles throughout the season. Lilja Carden and Julia Chatterjee are the two freshmen joining a team that also has six sophomores, and they have already been plugged in at key positions. Carden played catcher and outfield in an 11-9 win against Morton on Tuesday while Chatterjee was at second base. The early results have been mixed.

Hinsdale Central third baseman Riley Burr catches the ball in a game last season against Hinsdale South. Burr is one of several players returning to the varsity team for the Red Devils this season. A shutout win against Romeoville started the season before the Red Devils were swept in a doubleheader against Willowbrook despite committing just one error. On Tuesday, they slugged their way to the win against Morton despite some spotty fielding. “We can’t seem to put the three phases together,” Maciejewski said. “Sometimes our pitching isn’t there. [Tuesday]
it was there but then our fielding wasn’t there. One of the constants we’ve had is we seem to hit the ball every game. “Good pitching beats good hitting, so you can’t rely on that all the time, but I sure do like [us hitting].” Sophomores Riley Burr [third base], Annie Bruns [shortstop] and Taylor Glenn [first base] are slotted at key spots, and classmates Abbi Shaker,

Alicia Tracey and Allison Tracey will see playing time. Maciejewski doesn’t have any specific goals laid out for the season other than for each player to improve each game, but nonconference games against St. Ignatius [a state finalist in Class 3A last year] and a DeKalb team that made a 4A sectional final plus a tough West Suburban Silver conference slate could set up Central for success. “Our conference doesn’t change,” Maciejewski said. “The middle changes, but Oak Park is always Oak Park. They always have a great feeder program that develops pitchers for them, and Downers Grove has been doing that too.”

Hinsdale Central baseball takes series against Lyons Township SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
Mark Dykstra singled to start the sixth and stole second ahead of Michael Johnson’s walk. A groundout moved Dykstra and Johnson up a base, and Jake Ryder was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
