Public Safety: A new police officer or beat will be developed to include a focus on the village’s already existing anti-loitering law. The new beat will concentrate on public areas such as the library, downtown, Cossitt School grounds and nearby shelters during the summer months. Throughout the school year, the officer will function as the resource officer at LT’s North Campus.

as we love this community and want to keep it safe.”

Dillon said her main issue was with the daytime program, not with the organization itself.

“We are for [finding] an appropriate location for providing these services,” Dillon said. “Certainly our village, with its talented energy and capacity to give, can come up with a solution to solve everyone’s needs.”

BEDS Plus is an agency formed between the faith

community in La Grange and town officials, according to Executive Director Tina Rounds. She said the daytime program opened up three years ago in Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 203 S. Kensington Ave. “You need to really work with people to help them to solve their problems,” Rounds said. “It needs to be a lot of case management.”

While Rounds described the debate as a productive session where opinions were

Voluntary Limits: While the studies and conversations continue, BEDS volunteered to limit the number of clients it sees each day – during the four-hour daytime program – to 40 people maximum, with no more than 30 people at the location at a time. The limit will go into effect May 1.

professionally expressed, Rounds said she’s not sure public hearings are how things will change.

“At the end of the day, those debates get nowhere unless we’re all willing to sit around a table and compromise a little,” Rounds said.

In an attempt to better understand the situation, President Livingston outlined five initiatives the village plans to take. He said some of the adjustments will be effective as of May 1 and the results

will be discussed at the first board meeting in October.

One of the five initiatives involves bringing a new police officer to the downtown area. La Grange Police Chief Mike Holub said that the position will most likely be filled closer to next school year.

The new officer will focus on the downtown business district in the summer months and will be at Lyons Township High School’s North Campus during the school year, according to Holub.

Rounds said that she has no issue with these five initiatives and was glad to be working with the village.

“It’s not going to change our operations or procedures,” Rounds said. “And for the [village] to keep a closer eye on the activity, I don’t see any problem … we have an open relationship with the police. It can only help.”

When it comes to the question of whether or not BEDS Plus is located appropriately, Rounds said she wants citizens to come to their own conclusions.

“I would encourage people to find out for themselves,” Rounds said. “Get involved, ask questions, talk to the police, or come investigate BEDS.”

“At the end of the day, those debates get nowhere unless we’re all willing to sit around a table and compromise a little.”

LA GRANGE – Residents and village trustees discussed a year-round La Grange program aimed at providing support services for area homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless during a village board meeting March 10.

The meeting’s discussion was sparked by a village-wide study on the impact of the overnight shelters and daytime counseling services. The study was conducted after residents expressed concern about the BEDS Plus daytime program at a La Grange church, according to Village President Tom Livingston.

During the discussion, residents listed some of their concerns, including the safety of young children walking to and from Cossitt School, possible illegal activities occurring near the La Grange Public Library and residents’ safety during the BEDS Plus program’s hours of operation.

“We know how blessed we are to live in such a Mayberry-type of place,” La Grange resident Caroline Dillon said. “So when things started changing a few years ago ... we started asking questions,

Just Irish Enough event raises more than $80K

By KRISTIN PEDICINI kpedicini@shawmedia.com MCCOOK – Almost 200 “shavees” embraced the beauty of going bald at the 2014 Just Irish Enough benefit for St. Baldrick’s on Friday.

The head shaving event, hosted at the MAX in McCook, had 12 barbers in attendance to help the shavees shed their locks. Participants at the benefit could also donate pony tails for the foundation.

One La Grange Park resident eagerly awaiting to donate her hair, was 11-year-old Sophia Schultz. Schultz, who’s been a shavee for the past three years, raised the most money as an individual girl for

the second year in a row.

After raising more than $2,500, Schultz said she shaves for in honor of her best friend Dominic and her grandma.

“I didn’t go for the trophy,” Schultz said. “I did it because it’s for a good cause.”

Including Schultz’s contribution, the Just Irish Enough evening raised $81,813 for St. Baldrick’s this year, according to organizers.

Brian Twomey of La Grange Park raised more than $2,700, bringing in the highest amount for the boys and Eric Fouliard of La Grange Park raised more than $2,800, winning the lead for all participants. Both had their heads shaved as well.

SPRINGFIELD – Former Countryside police chief Timothy J. Swanson was indicted on fraud and money-laundering charges March 12.

The charges stemmed from a nonprofit helicopter fundraising program run by Swanson.

Swanson, 55, received a seven-count indictment charging him with money laundering, mail fraud, tax evasion and filing false tax returns for his Illinois Regional Air Support Service, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Central District of Illinois.

The Bourbonnais resident began the program in 2005 after claiming it would utilize U.S. Department of Defense helicopters to support law enforcement, according to the indictment.

Swanson allegedly solicited more than $350,000 in donations for the program between 2005 and 2012 from police departments, corporations and individuals, stated in the indictment.

According to the indictment, Swanson made more than $186,000 in personal purchases with the IRASS credit

card, used donations to pay off credit cards, lied to get donations and under-reported the money to the IRS. After Swanson allegedly submitted fraudulent invoices to the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System for addition grant money in 2006, more than $73,000 was added into the helicopter service’s bank account. The indictment claims in February, 2007, Swanson allegedly moved $75,000 from the account into his personal account, spending it two years after to pay off his wife’s Sears card.

According to the indictment, Swanson is also accused of evading income taxes in 2007 and 2008 along with filing false income tax returns in 2009 and 2010.

If convicted, mail fraud and money laundering charges carry a maximum of 20 years in prison, tax evasion comes with up to five years and filing false returns carries a penalty of up to three years.

Swanson is set to be arraigned April 2 in federal court in Urbana. The government is seeking more than $189,000 from Swanson, along with $7,573, representing a personal money judgment.

Methods for searching international family history just got easier You may have seen the commercials for ancestry search websites on TV, but you may not know that only five percent of the world’s genealogical records are available online. Thanks to our new designation as a FamilySearch affiliate, La Grange Park and other area residents now have access to literally thousands of international family records that aren’t COMMUNITY available online.

VOICE FamilySearch is the Dixie world’s largest family search organization. They have Conkis more than 200 camera teams filming historic records in 45 countries that are only available on microfilm, not online.

Thanks to a $2,000 donation from the Friends of the La Grange Park Library and through general operating funds, the library was able to purchase the microfilm reader needed to view these films. There is a nominal $7.50 fee to order a microfilm.

Library staff can help you find what films are available and answer questions. You may also search the Family History Library Catalog online at FamilySearch.org, on computers in the Library or from anywhere. You may set up an account with FamilySearch and place film orders for delivery to the Library.

This opens up an amazing opportunity for our residents to be able to see documents that would otherwise only be available by traveling to various locations around the world. Our designation as a FamilySearch affiliate is unique to this area.

The closest affiliated public libraries are in Darien and Orland Park.

Please stop in to learn more about how you can obtain your family records and make use of our microfilm reader in the Genealogy Corner on the second floor.

Dixie Conkis is director of the La Grange Park Public Library.

A thumbs up to the La Grange Business Association for organizing an indoor shopping event to lure customers back downtown during the tail end of a tough winter. Shops have seen a slowdown in purchasing, and this is a great way to help their bottom lines.

Thumbs up to all those who took the time to vote this week. While turnout is typically low for elections when there’s no presidential race, that doesn’t diminish the contribution of those who did make it to the polls – in fact, it’s all the more important.

Social security concerns

Commend Public Works

Although I’ve written to politicians on both sides – Democrats and Republicans – none have answered the simple question as to why the government has not repaid the social security back from the past and up to now. There would be more money than is ever needed if it had been left alone to build up. Do people have any idea as to how many people never received a check before dying? These crooks that took the money without a referendum from the public by vote should be in jail. Who by name are the politicians that signed the bills to remove money from Social Security without

I would like to commend the Public Works Department of Western Springs. They have done an excellent job of clearing our streets and repairing broken water mains during this never ending winter. On March 12, I awoke to yet another snowstorm and a huge broken tree limb hanging over our driveway, completely blocking it. Reluctantly I called the village to report it, as if they haven’t already had enough to do. Within a couple of hours a crew came out and took care of the situation. I just wish to extend a special thanks to all the public work employees of Western Springs!

I am writing to express my disappointment in the selection and placement of the Al Capone exhibit at the Brookfield Library. It is very unfortunate the library thought this was an appropriate place for such a display. I understand the significance of his negative impact on our Midwest history. Did the library directors really think it was proper to locate Capone’s display in the children’s section of the library? Perhaps there in lies the problem ... they simply did not think?

OUR MIDWESTERN HUMILITY PREVENTS US FROM BRAGGING. Otherwise, we’d be the first to tell you that we’ve been named a Best Midwestern College by Princeton Review.

To all these people who make our university one of the best places in the Midwest to learn, we say: go ahead and brag.

HINSDALE – Since 2011, Stephanie Palmer has served as Butler Junior High School principal. But, come July, she’ll return to District 86, where she spent four years as assistant principal for curriculum Stephanie and instruction Palmer at Hinsdale Central High School.

This time around, Palmer will be leading Hinsdale South High School.

On Feb. 24, the Hinsdale Township High School District 86 Board of Education appointed the La Grange resident the next principal of HSHS, effective July 1.

Palmer’s selection came following an applicant pool of 30, which was then narrowed down to five before a final decision was made.

Ciamprone: You served as assistant principal before at Hinsdale Central High School, what about District 86 made you want to return?

Palmer: While District 86 has an excellent reputation, it really was the opportunity to work with [Superintendent] Bruce Law, Pam Bylsma [assistant superintendent for academics] and many other former colleagues for whom I have great respect as educators that drew me back.

Ciamprone: What specifically about Hinsdale South High School made it an attractive place to work?

• BLASTING Continued from page 8 “[The quarry] is trying to figure out what could be causing this and how to avoid it from happening again,” Paul said.

Blasts happen daily, according to Paul, who said the city usually feels the aftermath around lunch time.

Palmer: South’s department chairs and teachers work hard to meet the needs of their students, and to create camaraderie amongst the staff. I look forward to getting to know them and to helping to build on this positive culture.

Ciamprione: Have you spoken with current principal Brian Waterman about the role, or have you talked to him about being principal at Hinsdale South?

Palmer: Brian has been very welcoming, and will continue to be a valuable resource for my principalship. He was a great principal for South, and he will be missed by students, parents and staff.

Ciamprone: I know you just got the job and won’t officially move into the role until July, but any initial goals you have for your first year at Hinsdale South?

Palmer: My goal, first and foremost, is to lay the foundation of a trusting partnership with staff and parents. To move forward effectively, we must work together positively. I will spend a majority of my time getting to know students, staff and parents. I look forward to collaborating with these groups to determine next steps in ensuring that all students are learning at high levels.

we face will be overcome together and for the benefit of South students.

Ciamprone: How hard was it to leave Butler Junior High School?

Palmer: Butler is a very special place; I will miss knowing every student and working so closely with Butler teachers. Our work this year on the instructional blueprint was especially exciting for the future of Butler 53, and I will miss not being there to help carry out that vision.

Ciamprone: What are you most proud of from your time at Butler?

Palmer: I am proud of introducing to the school culture the freedom for teachers and students alike to innovate and to continually improve the school. Butler’s educational experience is now created through input from all stakeholders, especially in regard to the electives and enrichment activities.

Ciamprone: You’ve been involved with education for several years, including 17 at Township High School District 214, why did you originally want to pursue education for a career path?

loved school. My parents were always involved in my education, whether chairing the PTO or serving on the school board. They set a great example for me that if you engage in your education, and take advantage of the opportunities that your school provides, you can do anything.

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, said he plans to continue to keep a close eye on the quarry and its development. Lipinski was outspoken about the need for federal review of what led to the earthquake and if it was triggered by quarry blasting following Nov. 4 earthquake.

“The safety of the residents

of the district is my top priority,” Lipinski said. “I have met or obtained briefings from federal and state regulators, as well as Hanson, throughout the investigation. I am hopeful that this was an isolated incident and precautions are in place to avoid any future damage to the community, but I will not let up on this.”

A terrific experience at a local store

Thanks for the help after I fell

To the Editor: Awhile back, I purchased a leather skirt at the Hope Chest on Hillgrove [in La Grange].

Later on, I noticed it had a tear.

I wrote a letter advising the management, not expecting anything, just letting them know.

Sali, the manager, rang me and told me to come in and find another item to take its place.

It was a wonderful surprise and lovely of her to follow through with me.

Hope Chest is a terrific thrift store with nice items at a fair price and they conduct good business practices and I hope everyone gives this store a chance.

To the Editor: On the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, I fell in the [village of] La Grange parking lot. In addition to many bumps, bruises and strains, I also broke my right wrist. I am so grateful to the La Grange Fire Department paramedics who so caringly took me to La Grange hospital, and to the emergency room staff (especially Dr. Herbert Zerth who diagnosed the problem and course of treatment from the start) and the X-ray staff. I would also like to thank Dr. Michael Bednar of Loyola University Medical Center for successfully operating on the wrist and for his diligent follow-up. Many thanks to all of you for jobs well done.

Restaurant reviews

Kick up your appetite at Al’s Char-House LA GRANGE – They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and if that’s the case, then Al’s Char-House not only embodies the stereotype, but celebrates it with platters built for a state-size appetite and portions larger than my forearm.

Even on a freezing winter’s night, downtown La Grange is its same old self with bustling foot traffic, valet services working nonstop and restaurants keeping up with the demand.

Through a set of double doors next to Casa Margarita and down a stairwell, there exists a place in La Grange that could only be described as John Wayne’s subconscious fantasy.

Texas and cowboy memorabilia line every wall from the full-service bar area with fire pit to the multiple levels of a packed and hungry house.

Walking past the terrific Western-themed decor, including cowboy statues, saddles, badges and photographs, it was hard not to notice the king-size platters being brought to tables. I could hear guests saying to each other with a smile how they’ll have leftovers until [insert days in advance here].

As a result, I refrained from ordering an appetizer, but seeing the onion blossom specialty arrive at several tables close by tempted me in ways you could only imagine.

Instead, I resisted and opted for the main course.

The menu’s array of different strips of steak and ribs looked mouthwatering, but being a connoisseur of cheeseburgers, I had to go with the Charburger Plus, described by Al’s as its “super burger,” topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion.

Again, I have to be honest.

Right before going to Al’s, I went to see the new “Hunger Games” movie at the La Grange Theatre, so now eyeing a burger that took up most of my plate made me feel a little guilty. That was before I took the first bite.

Suburban Life Media photos

A cowboy dream awaits at Al’s Char-House in downtown La Grange, where the Western theme is as big as the portions.

finding the strength to carry

The Charburger Plus lives up to its “super burger” billing, and can be on. customized with a variety of toppings.

If there ever were a time I “Is it good?” my mom asked.

But I couldn’t stop to answer her; I was too busy leaving shame at the door as the juices from the burger dripped down to my fingers and then back into my mouth.

My mom could tell what the answer would’ve been as she got started on her Chicken Marsala, two boneless chicken breasts sauteed in wine and

mushrooms. Despite not being able to finish the massive portions, we both enjoyed the leftovers for lunch the next day.

Our server was more than friendly, along with the rest of the staff, who twice during our visit got together to sing a happy birthday to guests.

I managed to request a brownie sundae for dessert, after loosening my belt and

chose wisely to indulge, it was now, as a brownie materialized covered in whipped cream, chocolate syrup and ice cream. My mom couldn’t eat another bite, but, as I said, shame already had been left at the door, so the spoon and my hand became one until the plate was empty.

With its selection of steaks, chicken dinners, kabobs and burgers, Al’s Char-House is a haven for carnivores, but

offers an occasional non-meat dish as an option.

For myself though, and much of the packed house in attendance, meat was the weapon of choice, and I would be happy to rearm at the La Grange steakhouse again.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW

Boys volleyball teams look to net success this season Metro Suburban Conference only fields three boys volleyball teams, but this should be the last year of RB’s nomadic era with St. Edward and Wheaton Academy joining the MSC next year with boys volleyball teams.

“Once again, we hope to be a tough defensive team that extends rallies in order to outlast our opponents,” Bonarigo said.

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Volleyball is one sport immune to bad spring weather.

High school boys teams get started next week so here’s a look at what to watch for in the area.

Coach: Thomas Maleskey 2013 record: 12-16-3 Top players:

Austin Brown Will Cullen Dan Gregor Steve Patchek Brady Ryan

Outlook: The Lyons had a successful season in every way last year except for the playoffs. After winning the West Suburban Silver and earning a top sectional seed the Lions went out in a regional final.

Enough of that team returned to expect big things again. Senior setter Marko Kostich is headed to play at Harvard after scoring a 36 on his ACT. Returning starters Michael Dean and Rob Watkins also give the team plenty of experience.

Fellow seniors middle hitter Noah Carroll, setter Jack Bobrowski, outside hitter Kevin Bartman and defensive specialists Michael Gay and Andrew Cook are also varsity returners.

Juniors Marshall McElvogue and Jake Suva move up to varsity full time after seeing minimal action with the team last year.

“Having achieved the conference championship and numerous top finishes at tournaments last year, we will push to achieve similar [showings] in 2014,” coach Joann Pyritz said.

Pyritz mentioned York, Glenbard West and Downers Grove North as the top competition in the way of an LT

to be a competitive team once again after winning 25 matches last year.

Setter Danny Nava is back as a starter along with Mike Chaney, who started the majority of last season as an outside hitter.

Including Nava and Chaney, the Bulldogs are expected to have key contri-

butions from a number of seniors. Coach Dan Bonarigo praised 6-foot-3 senior middle hitter Vince Garcia. Fellow senior Pablo Garcia, no relation to Vince, will contribute at both middle and outside positions. Another senior, Nick Green, the younger brother of former standout setter Rich Green, will be the Bulldogs’ defensive leader.

Ben Brondos, a senior who missed last season with an injury, is expected to play a big role as a setter and outside hitter. Juniors Bobby Peugh, David Wackrow and Zach Paisker could also see plenty of action.

The Bulldogs are still without a conference since the

return most of a team that won 12 matches, including the IMSA Invite, last year.

Dan Gregor, a 6-foot-3 sophomore, returns after joining the varsity team midway through last season. Seniors Austin Brown, Will Cullen and Steve Patchek should see bigger roles along with junior Brady Ryan.

Outlook: The Friars lost a threeset match in a regional final last year and return all-conference setter Joey McAuley.

Fenwick won the Chicago Catholic League White for the third year in a row last season.

McAuley will need some new weapons to set to after hitter George Cokinis, the CCL White player of the year, graduated.

The Friars open at Mount Carmel on April 7 and have other non-conference matches against Riverside Brookfield and York also on the schedule.

BOYS BASKETBALL MVP

‘The sky’s the limit’

Morton’s Weisner Perez a dream player for high school, college basketball coaches

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com

CC • Wednesday, March 19, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

CICERO – After a game at the Proviso West Holiday Tournament this year, a Division I assistant coach went up to Weisner Perez to introduce himself and show interest as a recruiter.

“We’d like to have you come to our campus,” the coach said.

“How are your grades?”

“They’re good, I’m top five in my class,” Weisner said subtly like it was no big deal.

The coach lit up.

“Oh yeah, we’d really like to have you visit our campus,” he said excitedly.

That’s what makes Perez so special. The Morton junior forward has the skill set to earn an athletic scholarship from a Division I program and the grades to earn academic scholarships if he never stepped foot on a basketball court.

Perez’s combination of athletic talent, practiced skill, work ethic and intelligence made him one of the best players in the area and should make him one of the best players in the state next year. For his impressive season with Morton, Perez is the Suburban Life boys basketball all-area team MVP. Initially, Morton coach Tony Martinucci knew that Perez would be good when he was in junior high, but still had trouble finding Perez a good AAU program to play with. He convinced Illinois Wolves coach Mike Mullins to take him in.

“Mike did me a favor when very few other guys would take Weisner,” Martinucci Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com said. “Mike took a shot for me Morton’s Weisner Perez keeps the ball away from an Addison Trail defender in a game this season. An offseason of working on his game helped and for him, and Mike really Perez develop into one of the best players in the area and a highly-coveted college recruit. helped him improve.

Meet the all-area team Here are Suburban Life Media’s 2014 boys basketball selections The boys basketball postseason is nearing its end with state finals

for classes 3A and 4A taking place this weekend. That means it’s

time to take a look at the 2013-14 boys basketball all-area team.

Jordan Ash

Michael Brooks

Greg Carter

Dan Dwyer

Will Kincanon

Harrison Niego

School: St. Joseph Year: Junior Impact: Ash and backcourt mate Glynn Watson took over the team this season as juniors and the Chargers were able to win 23 games and a third straight regional title. The 6-foot-1 guard, who was second-team all-tournament at Proviso West, has college offers from multiple Big Ten schools.

School: Nazareth Year: Senior Impact: The Roadrunner guard was the team’s lone all-conference selection in the tough East Suburban Catholic Conference.

Brooks transferred from St. Joseph and immediately made an impact. Nazareth had a young team this year and his ability to make a play was crucial.

School: Morton Year: Senior Impact: Carter really turned it on late in the season, hearing “M-V-P” chants from the Morton student section during the team’s two sectional games in which he scored 35 and 27 points. He was a four-year varsity player and three-year starter at point guard with killer quickness and big-time shooting range.

School: Fenwick Year: Senior Impact: The Friar big man averaged about 12 points and eight rebounds per game and helped Fenwick win 22 games and a regional title for the second year in a row. At 6-foot-8, he was a big part of the team’s success against a tough schedule.

School: Riverside Brookfield Year: Senior Impact: The baseball star showed he has some game on the court as well. Kincanon took over as a key guard and was one of just two seniors on the team this season. He earned Metro Suburban all-conference honors while helping the Bulldogs win conference for the 13th year in a row.

School: Lyons Township Year: Junior Impact: It’s no secret why Niego is drawing interest from Division I schools. The junior guard led the Lions in scoring at 15.6 points per game while dishing out 3.8 assists per contest. Niego has a good all-around game with the ability to score with his shot or off the drive and can create shots for his teammates.

Honorable mention

Weisner Perez

Nick Rakocevic

Mike Smith

Jack VandeMerkt

Glynn Watson

School: Morton Year: Junior Impact: The all-area MVP was already a standout last year, but in his second year starting on varsity Perez added to his game. He went from a strictly interior player to a well-rounded forward with a good jump shot and developing ballhandling skills. He also refined his inside game becoming an elite rebounder and a tough shot blocker.

School: St. Joseph Year: Sophomore Impact: It didn’t take long for the 6-foot-10 Rakocevic to make an impact on varsity basketball. The sophomore forward already has offers from the likes of Wisconsin and Illinois and has plenty more to give St. Joseph in two more years of high school.

School: Fenwick Year: Sophomore Impact: When Northwestern-bound Scott Lindsey was out for much of the season because of injury, Smith emerged as the Friars’ top scoring guard.

The 5-foot-9 guard’s explosive scoring ability helped the team not only survive without Lindsey but prove to be one of the better teams in the state.

School: Riverside Brookfield Year: Senior Impact: The 6-foot-8 forward did not have the typical skills of a big man.

Leave him open for three and he will burn you. Try to take away his shot and he can dribble or pass to create for a teammate. The lanky VandeMerkt continued the success of the family name at RB as the team’s leading scorer and an all-conference selection.

School: St. Joseph Year: Junior Impact: Watson, like teammate Jordan Ash, is a coveted Division I recruit.

The 5-foot-11 guard is capable of taking over a game at any moment. Watson was a second-team all-tournament pick at Proviso West and helped the Chargers share the Catholic League North title.

Fenwick: Scott Lindsey and Tom Planek Lyons Township: Jim Cullen and Matt Mrazek Morton: Jarvis Cannon and Antario Simon Nazareth: Kevin Connelly and Chris Swade Proviso West: Khalill Walker Riverside Brookfield: Sam Johnson St. Joseph: Joffrey Brown

Scaman hits more prefect scores

Photo provided by OU Athletics

Riverside native and Oklahoma sophomore Haley Scaman scored her third perfect 10 of the season on Friday. What’s even more impressive about the perfect scores is that they have come in two different events. The most recent 10 came on vault in a victory for the No. 2 Sooners against No. 16 Arkansas. Scaman is the first Sooner in program history to earn three perfect 10s as well as the first to do so on multiple events. Earlier this season Scaman, who was the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year as a freshman, scored perfect 10s two different times on floor exercise.

The website HubArkush. com is now ChicagoFootball. com. The new site will provide in-depth news and analysis of the Bears, along with extensive information about the NFC North division and coverage of all 32 NFL teams.

The site also will provide analysis of local high school and college programs as the 2014 season approaches.

In addition to Arkush, Chicago Football contributors include Shaw Media’s Kevin Fishbain and Tom Musick, and the Daily Herald’s premier Bears expert Bob LeGere

and fantasy football analyst John Dietz. Veteran designer and editor Bob Peters – who previously worked with Arkush at Pro Football Weekly – also joined the Chicago Football team. Arkush indicated that he is in the process of hiring additional staff.

Chicago Football will be headquartered at the Daily Herald offices in Arlington Heights.

Arkush noted the time is right for this venture.

“The NFL’s popularity is at an all-time high, and many fans have an affiliation

with at least one college and high school program while many follow more than one,” Arkush said. “Chicago Football will be unique in its look at the sport from a geographical perspective, and our singular focus will allow us to go more in-depth than other media.”

Chicago Football’s NFL Draft Preview edition will be available on newsstands April 7. The magazine can be purchased at area newsstands or included as part of an annual subscription, available at ChicagoFootball.com.
