“We have books in all different categories,” Driscoll said. “We have a lot of music books, especially jazz, this year. It’s amazing how many books we get.”

The organization has been collecting books from the community for a month, utilizing book barrels placed at various locations in the community, as well as hosting “Drive up – Drop off” times. The final collection times are from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. today and 9 a.m.

“We get a lot of the books from people cleaning out their houses,” Driscoll said.

Proceeds from the book sale will go toward three local scholarships – one each for an incoming senior at Glenbard East and Willowbrook high schools – as well as a Returning to Learning scholarship for a local woman going back to school, Driscoll said. The amount of the scholarships are determined based on sales.

From 5 to 8 p.m. Friday and all day Saturday, patrons can pay $10 and take as many books as will fit in the allotted bag.

The popularity of the annual event proves that people are still interested in reading the printed word in its traditional form.

“A lot of the titles are just slowly being released online,” Driscoll said. “This is a nice way to browse and find things they haven’t even thought of wanting to read – and they’re inexpensive.”

LOMBARD – The rise of the personal tablet has sparked a debate among book-lovers over what method is better for reading – electronic devices or traditional, printed books.

While there is certainly a place for reading using a tablet, the printed word has by no means been replaced, said Laurie Driscoll, scholarship chairwoman of the Lombard Area American Association of University Women.

The organization is gearing up for its used book sale, which begins Wednesday at the First Church of Lombard, 220 S. Main St. The annual AAUW fundraiser draws book collectors and individuals looking for their favorite authors and titles.

“A lot of people will come in with a list of books they’re looking for or a favorite author,” said Driscoll of Carol Stream. “We have a lot of books that you probably can’t find on digital [format] yet.”

The Lombard chapter of AAUW has been hosting the annual sale for about three decades. The group typically receives roughly 15,000 books,

About Kruser

dgood@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – Frequent sightings of a 2015 black Subaru Forester with a license plate frame that reads “Louis lives on” can be expected around Lombard starting later this month.

That’ll be Barb Kruser, 50, the new Helen Plum Memorial Library director, whose plate frame pays homage to jazz legend Louis Armstrong as well as her cat, Louis, who recently passed away. And if she’s not driving to the library itself, she’s probably out trying to reintroduce Helen Plum to the residents of Lombard.

“People ask why we even need libraries anymore because we have google.com and the Internet,” Kruse said.

“But libraries should be cornerstones of the community

shelves. We have to recreate buildings to meet the changing needs,” Kruser said.

Kruser recently helped wrap up a $6 million renovation project at the Niles Library, where she has worked for 25 years, serving as assistant director since 2009.

“I don’t see that happening on such a grand scale at Helen Plum,” Kruser said of potential renovations. “But I’m coming in with experience getting creative with spaces.”

Technology is another focus point for Kruser as libraries, more and more, are called on to educate patrons on how to use their digital devices like e-readers and iPads.

“I get a sense that Helen Plum patrons are looking for guidance on technology,” she said.

Robert Harris is set to retire after 25 years as the Helen Plum director. The

Lombard Village Board has declared Aug. 15, his last day, as Robert Harris Day. Initially, Kruser was nervous about her transition but said Harris has been making the process a smooth one.

“I’m going to be a different type of director than Bob, but he leaves a huge legacy and big shoes to fill,” she said.

A keen eye may have spotted that black Subaru on Tuesday morning when Kruser was house hunting in Lombard.

Kruser said it’s important that a village’s library director be a taxpaying member of the community.

The Niles resident is targeting a possible moving day in September.

A new car, a new home, a new job – that’s a lot of change all at once.

“I’m calling it my midlife awakening,” she said.

Teens push policy for smoke-free parks

By MATTHEW PIECHALAK

Number to know

editorial@mysuburbanlife.com LOMBARD – An effort to change local tobacco policy is the main objective this summer for a group of students in Glenbard High School District 87.

The Glenbard Teen Advisory Panel is hoping to convince local park district boards within district boundaries to ban smoking in public parks.

The anti-tobacco committee, which includes about 20 students from the district’s four high schools, including Glenbard East in Lombard, is run in partnership with Reality Illinois.

“We have always been about education and creating awareness campaigns, but this summer we’re really focusing on changing policy – that’s the new passion,” said Gilda Ross, adviser for the teen panel and student and community projects coordina-

Once their research is compiled, the students plans to attend park district board meetings to explain their research and ask for support.

Glenbard West High School junior Christina Sedall, who has a history of cancer in her family, joined the group to promote a healthy lifestyle and to make a difference among her peers.

“There is this whole image of style, and cigarettes are a big part of it,” said Sedall, a first-year volunteer with the teen panel. “We are trying to break through that barrier.”

“I learned this year about third-hand smoking and how just being around somebody who smokes, who has the chemicals in their clothing, can still affect you,” said Rowland, president of Glenbard Students For Students, a substance-abuse education group that meets during the school year.

Each year, the research collected by the panel is shared through Students For Students, Ross said.

This year’s group has been a huge success, drawing volunteers from all four district schools, including students – both male and female – from all four grade levels, Ross said.

“It’s a nice cross-section of students,” she said.

Youth involvement is critical to success of the anti-tobacco movement, Ross believes.

“These student-led efforts are really what is going to create change,” she said.

“There’s no counter argument here, everyone is aware of the harmful effects of tobacco, yet it is still a growing concern. We have young people that pick up cigarettes every day.”

LOMBARD – Joan Knippen, chairwoman for the Lombard Race for the Cure, recently received the Susan G. Komen Chicagoland Area Promise of One award.

The award was given at the 2014 Komen Chicago Impact Awards Luncheon honoring grantees and volunteers of Komen Chicago. The honor, which requires approval by both the Komen Chicago Board of Directors and Susan G. Komen’s national headquarters, is granted to an outstanding volunteer in recognition of exceptional contributions to the organization and the fight against breast cancer, according to a Komen news release.

Knippen first pulled together a team for Race for the Cure seven years ago after hearing an ad on the radio. Since then, Knippen has moved from race participant to serving on the race committees for the past five years. She is serving as both the education/mission chairwoman for the Chicago Race for the Cure as well as race chairwoman for the Lombard Race for the Cure, the release said.

In particular, Knippen is focused on promoting awareness and education about breast health, early detection and breast cancer treatment, according to the release.

The Lombard Race for the Cure will be Sept. 21 at the Yorktown Center.

NEWS BRIEFS Police campaign to enforce villageoflombard.org. cellphone driving laws Healthy Lombard secures LOMBARD – The Lombard health deptartment grant Police Department is planning a monthlong campaign to enforce the hands-free cellphone law that went into effect earlier this year.

The campaign will run from Friday to Aug. 31 and will focus on ticketing drivers who use a handheld cellphone while driving.

The new Illinois law prohibits motorists from talking on all mobile devices while driving, unless the device is handsfree. Offenders could pay fines between $75 and $150.

HOW LIFESTYLE CHOICES AFFECT VISION The choices that people make about how they want to live their lives can have an impact on their vision. With this in mind, many individuals want to exercise more, drink less, and smoke not at all. A recent study involving 5,000 adults reveals that “visual impairment” (slight loss caused by eye disease, injury, or a medical condition that cannot be corrected by glasses or contact lenses) is more prevalent among inactive individuals, heavy drinkers, and smokers. After adjusting for age, regular exercisers were 58% less likely to develop vision problems than sedentary types. Occasional drinkers were 49% less likely to develop eye problems than nondrinkers, and heavy smokers were somewhat more likely that nonsmokers to develop visual impairment.

You can’t always determine when your vision is slipping. By the time you can, you may have wasted valuable time in helping your eyes get back to better health. Poor vision is not just a function of your age – and it does not have to be inevitable. To schedule an eye health exam, please give us a call. SKOWRON EYE CARE provides treatment for eye diseases and eye injuries as well as offering custom lens fittings, help for low vision and a large selection of frames at competitive prices. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. The number of Americans with visual impairment is expected to grow to at least four million by 2020, which represents a 70 percent increase from 2000.

Technology transforms District 45 classrooms So, what are kids up to these days in School District 45?

One hundred and fifty seven years have passed since the first schoolhouse opened on Meyers Road in 1857. Now there are eight schools serving just more than 3,300 students. And, like many school districts across the country, much has changed since the 19th century.

Even for many of us who remember chalkboards, film strips, microfiche, card catalogues, record players, and “dittos” hot off the machine (Oh, to have one last sniff), it is hard to understand these are now things of the past. But, if COMMUNITY you’ve been in the classroom VOICE lately, you might be amazed Anthony J. – perhaps even intrigued.

Classrooms are exciting placPalmisano es to be in School District 45, and, as superintendent, I get to visit them every day. Let’s take a quick peek: Teachers in the classrooms across District 45 have hosted an Hour of Code in support of Computer Science Education. “You are going to learn to tell the computer what to do,” said District 45 instructional coach Matt Granger, who has been facilitating each Hour of Code.

According to Granger, having students participate in an Hour of Code is part of a worldwide effort that introduced the skill of computer programming to more than 10 million students. Lessons typically begin with students pairing up and then choosing their technology from among the iPad, Chromebook or the classroom computer. Then the students set out to write a computer program code. This is one of the creative ways in which our students learn the problem-solving and thinking skills necessary for tomorrow.

You might ask, what about the basics – reading, writing, history and arithmetic? They’re still being taught, yes, but in different ways than we once knew. It is much more interactive than ever before. Students can take virtual tours to ancient Rome on the Smart Board or research original documents from history on the iPad. When students write, the teacher can immediately edit and make suggestions for improvements while working on a Google Doc. Students are very often seen working in pairs or groups, helping one another solve real-world problems and sometimes even Skyping with authors.

There is more to come and new initiatives on the horizon that will continue to amaze us all and perhaps one day renew our view of schooling even from what we know today.

What will tomorrow bring?

Anthony J. Palmisano is the superintendent for School District 45, DuPage County.

Barber Markus Nigg cuts the hair of Lombard resident Steve Kaufman at M.E.N.S. Esquire Barber Shop.

Nigg’s Lombard business recently reached the 20-year milestone.

Congratulations to Markus Nigg on 20 years of cutting hair in Lombard. Owner of M.E.N.S. Esquire Barber Shop on St. Charles Road in the downtown, Nigg purchased the business in 1994 and still specializes in haircuts, beard trims and shaves. Thanks for keeping us looking good.

Several Lombard women are proving you’re only as old as you think you are. Eleanor Olson, who turned 100 in November, just celebrated her 20th year participating in the Heart & Sole Fitness dance classes at Lexington Square in Lombard. And Bernice Behnke, 98, and Florence Fass, 94, just reached the 15-year milestone. Keep on dancing, ladies.

Mom spreads overdose awareness

By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – For Cheryl Cummings, the tombstones covering her lawn don’t simply represent the 100 drug overdose deaths that occur every day across the country.

On Oct. 14, 2012, her son, Spencer, became one of those 100 deaths when he overdosed Cheryl on heroin at Cummings 40 years old.

“I don’t want other people to go through what I’m going through,” Cummings said. “Education is the only way to do that.”

She decided to host the traveling tombstones in front of her home at 422 N. Addison Ave. as part of the Stop Overdose Illinois awareness campaign leading up to organization’s Overdose Awareness Gathering and Vigil later this month.

“People just think that stuff doesn’t happen here,” Cummings said.

Cassandra Wingert, co-coordinator of the overdose awareness event, explained the traveling tombstones combat what she called “not-in-my-backyard syndrome,” by literally making a statement in people’s front lawns.

The tombstones began traveling the Chicago suburbs last month, stopping in neighborhood front lawns, public events and municipal buildings.

“It definitely makes a statement in all types of communities,” Wingert said, explaining drug overdoses happen everywhere.

In fact, Wingert said the number of overdose deaths are increasing. The tombstones began as a statement piece a few years ago at

Spencer Cummings, son of Elmhurst resident Cheryl Cummings, died Oct. 14, 2012, of a heroin overdose.

• OVERDOSE Continued from page 14 Roosevelt University for the annual overdose awareness event. Now, she said overdose deaths are up to 105 a day across the country.

“It’s not only heroin. It’s the painkillers. It’s the Vicodin,” Cummings said.

She said her son’s addiction started with prescription opiates before he was led to heroin.

Those prescription drugs are just as deadly, though, Wingert warns.

“People don’t understand the connection between opiate prescription drugs and opiate street drugs such as heroin,” Wingert said.

Wingert said the perception that addiction is a criminal activity often discourages people from admitting they’re addicted or seeking help.

“I think if people saw it as a health issue they would start recognizing it as the epidemic it is,” Wingert said.

Cummings believes despite recent attention to the presence of heroin in Chicago’s suburb, many people don’t want to admit opiate addiction exists in Elmhurst or other communities.

“The suburbs still don’t realize that a drug addict is not someone in a crack house,” Cummings said.

Through a support group, Cummings has heard stories and seen photos of those who have died of drug overdoses, many of whom she described as nice kids who had everything.

ple’s lives, and we can only do that with education,” Wingert said.

Cummings hopes people passing by her home while the tombstones are there are motivated to learn more about not only preventing drug addiction but how to save lives.

“My son would be alive today if the girl he was with wasn’t afraid of repercussions of her own drug use,” Cummings said.

She wants to spread awareness about Illinois’ Good Samaritan law, which encourages people to call 911 when someone is overdosing by providing some protection from criminal drug charges.

Cummings also wants to encourage people to learn about Naloxone, also called Narcan, which reverses heroin and prescription opiate overdoses.

Anyone can be trained to use Naloxone.

Naloxone training, recovery resources and educational information will be available at the awareness gathering and vigil.

“The core of it is that we want to prevent people from dying,” Wingert said.

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.

n the game of golf, practice makes perfect. The more time spent honing skills, the better the scores will be. Many golf courses have driving ranges, putting greens and chipping areas, but some courses take things up a level with grass practice tees, heated hitting bays and even playable practice holes. Turn to Pages 28 and 29 to see the best the area has to offer.

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

Chicago Players 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.

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.

Anson Hinkle of Woodridge practices July 25 on the driving range at White Pines Golf Club.

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 Brook Golf Club

Oak Meadows Golf Club

Prairie Landing Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

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.

Slugger stays connected to game in retirement

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com 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

After 22 years as a professional, the former Major League Baseball star is a special assistant for the Chicago White Sox. chance to see some of our young players, which has been great.

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

Thome: It was a special time in my career. Getting traded from Philadelphia to Chicago, my mom had passed away and that brought my family closer together. Getting a chance to come home and play, that was a dream come true and those three, four years were a fantastic time in my life.

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 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: What aspects of the game do you miss?

Thome: Competing, I miss digging in and competing.

That never goes away. You can be retired for 10 years 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.
