WESTMONT – Community members came together for the Westmont Public Library’s Family Lego Night on Thursday.

The monthly event has been held for the past year and a half, according to librarian Jack Schultz.

“We’ve been doing really good,” Schultz said. “We average with about 20 people, depending upon the night.”

Thursday’s event, themed It’s a Mys-

tery, encouraged attendees to create a mysterious masterpiece out of Legos.

“The whole idea is for families to come in, meet other families and do creative work together,” Schultz said.

Schultz said the program’s feedback has been great.

“They very much enjoy it,” he said.

“I’ve had a lot of repeat people who’ve come out with new family friends.”

The February session will feature an Ain’t Nothin’ But A Hound Dog theme.

Political back-and-forth begins in race for Republican nod in 81st District

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – State Rep. Ron Sandack’s Republican primary challenger Keith Matune says Sandack invited him to a meeting at a Downers Grove restaurant Sunday to tell him members of the House Republican Organization will soon release unflattering personal information about Matune.

Sandack, who has been supported by the House Republican Organization in his re-election bid, said that the meeting was a courtesy and that there was nothing he could do to stop the information from coming out.

“I thought I was being neighborly with Mr. Matune and giving him a quiet headsup, and he instead issued a factually erroneous press release,” Sandack said in a phone interview Tuesday.

“I’m not responding to that nonsense.

“He’s tripping all over himself trying to explain himself.

“I thought I was being neighborly with Mr. Matune and giving him a quiet heads-up, and he instead issued a factually erroneous press release.”

Ron Sandack State Representative

Ron Sandack He has a pretty loose grip on the facts and reality, and I don’t want to get into a back and forth with him. It doesn’t serve my purposes. I’m the representative of the 81st District, and I’m interested in continuing to talk about the issues that matter to [residents] in the 81st.”

The 81st District includes parts of Downers Grove, Westmont, Woodridge, Lisle, Naperville, Darien and Bolingbrook.

Matune, a former Downers Grove school board member, issued a news release Monday.

It alleges Sandack was implying a threat to release information contained in a Chicago Tribune blurb from 1991 that

stated “a Woodridge man was arrested and charged with being a fugitive from justice after police discovered he is wanted on a larceny charge in Montgomery County, Va. Police said they stopped a car driven by Keith R.W. Matune, 21, of 5921 Jackson Drive early Friday on the 6200 block of Belmont Road for driving with bright headlights. Matune, who was taken to Du Page County Jail, will be extradited to Virginia, police said.”

Matune’s news release claims that during the incident, officers refused to comply with the extradition request and that he was not placed under arrest and was promptly released.

Keith Matune “Keith’s attorney immediately made full restitution on his behalf and all charges were dropped within 24 hours,” the release states.

Mugshots obtained and published online by the Illinois Observer contradict Matune’s account that he was not arrested in the incident. The mugshots appear to show Matune holding a DuPage County Sheriff’s Department placard with the date mentioned in the newspaper blurb – May, 7, 1991.

When asked about the mugshots Tuesday, Matune said, “I was going on my recollection.

Yes, there’s mugshots and it doesn’t look good. I don’t recall any of that stuff. I’m not saying

it didn’t happen. I don’t recall because it was taken care of so quickly.”

Matune described the 1991 larceny incident as a misunderstanding in his news release.

“Keith unintentionally wrote a $150 check that was returned for insufficient funds while attending college out of state,” the release said. “While home for the summer, Keith was stopped by local police for a broken headlight and was notified during the stop that there was an out of state warrant issued for an insufficient check.

“Keith was completely surprised and unaware of the situation. The officers refused to comply with the extradition request; Keith was not placed under arrest and was promptly released. Keith’s attorney immediately made full restitution on his behalf and all charges were dropped within 24 hours.”

A PRIMER ON X-RAYS Q: Why do dentists take x-rays?

A: X-rays, also called dental radiographs, are among your dentist’s crucial tools. The x-ray helps your dentist diagnose various conditions that simply cannot be seen by the naked eye. Just for an example, by using an x-ray, dentists can see the roots of your teeth. In the case of a new patient, the dentist may take an x-ray to establish a baseline picture of the condition and position of those roots to help with analysis of any changes that occur later. Your dentist may periodically use x-rays during a regular visit to screen for decay.

The American Dental Association and the Food and Drug Administration have set guidelines for the use of x-rays in the dental office. The frequency of x-rays depends on an individual patient’s case. You and your dentist can discuss an x-ray schedule that’s appropriate for your planned treatment.

Your schedule will vary according to your age, your risk of disease and the symptoms of your condition. Of course, like every other aspect of dentistry, the techniques and equipment used for x-rays have improved greatly over the years. The main ADA rule regarding the use of x-rays is that dentists should use them only when necessary. Talk with your dentist about x-rays and their role in your program of dental care.

High-end interior designer Darl Grooters to set up shop

Once the Westmont shop opens, walk-in clients will also be welcome, according to Grooters.

“I hope [to bring] a level of custom design that wasn’t open to [residents] at a reasonable price,” Grooters said.

“And I’m hoping to add to the neighborhood as far as the decoration goes.”

Between now and opening day, there is still plenty to be

The new space does not yet have walls or electricity, he said.

“We’re having to create the space and the kitchen and all of that,” Grooters said. “It’s an extensive amount of work.”

The designer said he has a passion for his business, but it’s the evolution of design and new projects that keep him going.

“It’s just always been what I’ve done,” Grooters said.

“Creating and design are some of the best things we can do.”

D-99 names next principal of DGS SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – Ed Schwartz will be the next principal of South High School in Downers Grove, School District 99 announced Wednesday.

His appointment will begin with the 2014-15 school year, pending final approval by the Board of Education on Jan. 27.

He has served as associate principal of South High since 2005.

Schwartz will succeed Stephan Bild, who is retiring after serving six years as principal and 38 years in education.

“South High is one of the highest quality high schools in the state and requires a high quality leader, which perfectly describes Ed,” District 99 Superintendent Dr. Mark McDonald said in a statement.

“He has earned a reputation in our community as a problem solver, a people person, a staunch student advocate and above all – a leader.”

District 99 conducted an extensive interview process to fill the principal post.

Schwartz was selected from an initial field of 13 applicants.

“My fellow Board of Education members and I are confident that Ed is the right choice to lead South High in the future,” Board of Education President Nancy Kupka said in a statement. “Ed has an unwavering focus on students and doing what’s best to support them both academically and as individuals.”

Before joining South High, Schwartz worked at West Aurora High School for 16 years.

While there, he served as an associate principal for seven years, a dean for two years and a math teacher for six years.

He also coached basketball and softball teams.

“I’m grateful to have been selected as the next principal and to have the privilege to continue to serve our students and the South High community,” Schwartz said in a statement. “With this being the year that marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of South High, I am looking forward to celebrating past successes, and excited to be part of the bright future that’s ahead for our current and future students.”

Schwartz has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics education from the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls and a master’s degree in educational leadership from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.

He is a member of the National Association of Secondary School Principals and the Illinois Principals’ Association.

Throughout his career he has been responsible for all facets of school administration, including managing students and staff, staff negotiations, technology initiatives, large-scale facility renovation projects and safety programs, according to the school district.

DOWNERS GROVE – District 99 projections expect student enrollment at its two high schools to fall slightly again next school year, extending a larger trend that has seen enrollment fall from 5,434 in 2009 to a projected 5,088 next year.

The numbers were presented during a school board workshop meeting Jan. 13 to determine district staffing levels for next year.

Board discussion was minimal, and it gave informal approval for staff to move forward with the projections generated by Dr. John Kasarda, a contractor hired by the district.

His numbers were presented in a report by the district’s Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Pete Theis.

In keeping with the district’s 21.8-to-1 student-to-staff ratio, the district plans to cut 2.6 full-time-equivalent (FTE) instructional positions next year, bringing that total down to 233.4, compared to 252.2 in 2009.

“Our staffing allocations are based on what we believe to be the most accurate information at the time we make our recommendations,” Theis wrote in his report. “While we feel confident in the process we use to review enrollment and recommend FTE, we also recognize this is not a perfect science and unanticipated mobility increases and or decreases may impact our needs.”

The board also discussed the district’s summer school program at the meeting, which has also seen declining enrollment.

Physical education and U.S. History classes were canceled due to lack of interest.

The district did add an online class with labs to prepare students for AP chemistry.

Summer school administrator Tim Tilton said it’s difficult to determine if declining enrollment is caused by high-

er performance by students during the regular school year or because of declining district enrollment overall.

“In year 2013 there were 390 less ‘Fs’ earned from the prior year,” he said during the meeting. “In 2012 there were 96 less. 450 less classes [between the two years] that need to be recovered could make a difference.

“I also think we see less students in the district population. Also this could be year where students decided ‘summer school isn’t going to fit in my schedule.’”

Summer school enrollment was 477 in 2004, the 10-yearhigh was 496 in 2007. It has since declined annually to a total of 330 in 2013.

Staff made several procedural recommendations, including maintaining current student fees and elimination of the Back on Track program that teaches algebra due to changes in the math curriculum in accordance with the new Common Core standards.

Common Core teaches several math disciplines in the same course.

The recommendations were given informal approval by the board, but no vote was taken.

DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin (center) speaks during a heroin forum Nov. 18 at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. Berlin will be in attendance at a similar forum in Westmont tonight.

DuPage County authorities have been adamant that heroin use is a growing problem, especially among our youth. It’s great to see them back that talk up with forums and public awareness campaigns, such as the one that will take place here in Westmont today at 7 p.m. in the Westmont High School auditorium. We encourage anyone who thinks the threat of heroin is real and close to them to attend the program.

On Thursday, the District 99 Education Foundation hosted its first “Pizza Wars” fundraising event where attendees voted on the best local pizza place after sampling slices. What a cool idea to bring the community together for a good cause – improving education.

No applause for parking garages I shop downtown Elmhurst only when I can find on-street parking. I do not like nor do I feel safe in parking garages. I don’t care how many parking garages Elmhurst builds, I will only shop downtown Elmhurst when I can secure ground-level, open parking. Perhaps Elmhurst should consider tearing down a vacated building such as Plass Appliance to provide more onstreet parking. I am sure the city is worried about loss of revenue from the torn-down building.

However, wouldn’t increased foot traffic to existing stores help prevent more stores from closing in downtown Elmhurst and also entice new stores?

Keep tradition with Party at Kiwanis Park What is Brookfield thinking about switching the Party in the Park to JC/Ehlert Park? They should just cancel the Party in the Park this year for the Fourth of July because Kiwanis Park is under construction, and who would want to go all the way to JC/Ehlert Park for the Party in the Park? It has always been a tradition to have Party in the Park at Kiwanis Park. To have it at JC/Ehlert Park is not the tradition. I think the tradition should be canceled this year and save the money and have it for next Fourth of July.

Friends should help friends stop smoking This message is to all nonsmokers and people who have quit but have friends that still smoke. Please help them stop smoking. My husband promised me 20 years ago he would stop smoking and he hasn’t.

His friends do nothing to help him stop smoking. I’m at my wits’ end. If you guys are such good good friends, then you help your friends quit smoking.

I’m tired of being the one who nags and is so angry with him that he doesn’t quit smoking.

If your friends smoke, start 2014 by helping your friends stop. Don’t leave it to your spouses to be the nagging one.

Please help my husband stop smoking.

Kudos to snowplowing crews I’ve been a Bloomingdale Township resident for more than 30 years, and the Township Highway Department has done an excellent job with my road in the unincorporated area I live in. Every time I look out the window, I see a snowplow going by. I had a doctor appointment the next day after the big storm. I could tell when I drove through the township that the roads were in great condition. My wife and I felt safe. Thank you to the snowplowing crew of Bloomingdale See SOUND OFF, page 24

Daniel and Joann Callahan of Downers Grove, Illinois are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Lauren, to Evan Traub, son of Ronald and Susan Traub of Mentor, Ohio.

She is employed as a Sales Lead Keyholder at Calypso St. Barth in Houston, Texas. Evan graduated from DePaul University in 2006 earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Relations. He is employed by Live Nation as the Director of Restaurant Operations at the House of Blues in Houston, Texas.

Kitchens for the Average Joe & Jane Have you put off doing your kitchen long enough? Is this the year you have vowed to do something with your cabinets? Have the horror stories of kitchen remodeling made you afraid to even think about it? With prices approaching and surpassing $100,000 for full kitchen remodeling, it is no wonder the Average Joe and Jane feel a little overwhelmed.

Enter Kitchen Tune-Up! This locally owned (Downers Grove) National Franchise has been offering minor kitchen remodels for 19 years. Marty Ceranec, the owner, has won numerous awards from KTU for Sales, Customer Service, and Creativity. He received the highest award in 2000 when he won National Franchise of the Year and in addition, is a two time Angies List Super Service Award Winner.

We offer Kitchen Solutions for Any Budget. “I think some people get sticker shock when they look at the price of redoing an entire kitchen and are overwhelmed. We work with clients every day who have the same anxieties,” says Marty.

KTU can provide anything from the Signature Kitchen Tune-Up to a full blown design and remodel. “The bulk of our work last year was in refacing and door replacement. Door replacement doesn’t change the color, but replaces old particle board doors with new solid raised panel doors utilizing concealed hinges. Refacing, on the other hand, enables one to change their oak cabinets to maple cabinets without buying all new cabinetry,” said Marty. “These two options also save landfill space because we are saving the boxes.”

Why have they been so successful? Simple things like showing up on time and returning phone calls which is often lacking in the remodeling industry. I have chosen to keep the business small so I am involved in every job with my three long time installers. By doing this we have become well known as experts in minor kitchen remodeling.”

Kitchen Tune-Up also offers cabinetry upgrades such as glass doors, tipout trays, soft-closing dovetail drawers, and full extension rollouts as well as counters in laminate, solid surfaces, granite and quartz (Cambria) “The Best Counter Top Around.”

When questioned about any regrets, Marty replies, “We often Call Marty Now For a Free Estimate get calls to update the kitchen when the owner is ready to sell.

We always wonder why they See Our Work At didn’t do it earlier so they could have enjoyed it sooner.” www.kitchentuneup.com

I just wanted to say thank you to the wonderful angel who stopped by to help me round up my garbage cans. It was very windy when I got home from work and the garbage cans were blown into the street and down a couple blocks away. She stopped her van and got out and helped me and trudged through the snow to capture my lids. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Sheriff’s deputies now equipped with heroin overdose-fighting drug SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA In response to the growing heroin epidemic, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office will be the first county sheriff’s office in Illinois to carry the drug Narcan, which can reverse a heroin overdose, in its squad cars, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release.

The Sheriff’s Office is one of the DuPage County law enforcement agencies piloting the DuPage Narcan Program (DNP), which was started by the DuPage County Chiefs of Police Association and was developed with the DuPage County Health Department.

As part of the program, deputies will have access to the prescription drug Narcan, which blocks opiates from brain receptors and reverses an overdose.

“We are fighting every day to get this drug out of our

community, but this new program will help us with those who are still battling the addiction,” Sheriff John Zaruba said in the release.

For more information on heroin use in DuPage County, visit www.dupagesheriff.org and watch the video “Heroin in DuPage County: An Equal Opportunity Epidemic.”

Drug abuse services are available through the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office and the DuPage County Health Department, according to the release.

Parents who find a suspicious substance in their child’s room are invited to use the Sheriff’s Office First Step Program, which assists them in determining whether the substance is illegal. More information on this free and anonymous testing is available at www.dupagesheriff. org through the link for programs and services.

Police search for suspect in armed robbery of Aldi SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LISLE – Lisle police are looking for a man suspected of robbing Aldi in the 5500 block of Route 53 at gunpoint on Monday.

Police said the suspect, described as a white man in his 20s standing about 5-foot-8 and weighing about 160 pounds, entered the store around 2:35 p.m. Monday and attempted to take cash from an open cash drawer.

When the cashier attempted to close the drawer, the suspect displayed a silver or grey large-framed handgun, police said.

No customers were injured during the armed robbery.

The man wore a baseball cap, possibly with a “Hurley” logo. He also wore a black jacket and blue jeans.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Lisle Police Department at 630271-4200 and ask to be transferred to an officer.

COAT DRIVE RESPONSE WINTER REMINDERS Parking on streets is prohibited between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. when three or more inches of snow have fallen. Shoveling, blowing, or otherwise placing snow or ice onto the street, sidewalk or any public right-of-way is prohibited. Please remember to be a good neighbor and shovel your sidewalk if you are physically able to do so.

The Village sponsored coat drive ended on January 13, 2014.

Thanks to the generosity of the community, a total of 446 gently used coats and hundreds of cold weather accessories i.e., hats, gloves, boots, scarfs, sweaters, blankets, and snow pants were donated to Sharing Connections here in Downers Grove to assist the less fortunate in our community.

DID YOU KNOW? THE DOWNERS GROVE POLICE DEPARTMENT ISSUES REMINDER TO PUBLIC: New Cell Phone Law – Effective January 1, 2014 The Downers Grove Police Department would like to make our citizens aware of a revision to the Illinois Vehicle Code pertaining to using cell phones while driving.

Beginning January 1, 2014, anyone utilizing a cell phone while driving must use a hands-free device. This is in addition to the prohibition against using any electronic device to compose, send, or read an electronic message (texting).

Because protecting public safety is at the heart of our mission, the Downers Grove Police Department has joined thousands of other state and local law enforcement agencies in educating the public about this change in the law. Officers will begin enforcement of this revision to the cell phone law immediately.

Please remember that when you are talking on a cell phone - whether it is handsfree or not – you are four times more likely to crash. When you text while driving, you are 23 times more likely to crash. A cell phone conversation poses a significant distraction to the task of driving. Please consider the potential results of being distracted while driving – choose to stay safe; make the phone call when you are not operating a vehicle.

There are metered daily fee parking spots at Fairview Train Station. Pay with quarters (1 hour per $.25) or with Passport Parking ($3.50 for the day).

CURBSIDE TREE COLLECTION Free collection of live Christmas trees was delayed--please leave your tree at the curb and it will be picked up as as soon as possible.

Trees must be free of tinsel, ornaments and hooks and should not be placed in bags.

Village Council meetings are held the first, second, and third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Council Chambers at 801 Burlington Avenue.

Village Council meetings are broadcast live on DGTV-Ch. 6. The rebroadcast of these meetings can be seen Wednesday mornings at 9:00 a.m. and Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m.

Live radio broadcasts of Council meetings can only be heard at 7:00 p.m. the first and third Tuesday of the month on WDGC-FM, 88.3.

Are you sufering with an

Autoimmune condition?

Living with an autoimmune disorder can afect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like goling, biking, yard work and gardening.

Did you know that leaky gut syndrome is a precursor to an autoimmune disease?

Did you know that your gut makes up 80% of your immune system?

An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your own body. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jefrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.

Are you sufering with any of these autoimmune disorders?

• Hashimotos hroiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogren’s Syndrome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthenia Gravis • Ankylosing Spondylitis • Perniscious Anemia

• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Crohn’s Disease • Addison’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Raynauds

Medications are not always the long term answer.

Medications can give you temporary relief but they DO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of your immune imbalance. All medications have side efects. hese side efects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.

Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? here is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance.

So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of speciic NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic herapy.

Your Brain (nervous System) controls all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, endocrine (hormone) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.

Your immune system. here are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are sufering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). his leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.

Testimonials I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. hrough comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach.

Samantha R. I sufered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side efects were bad.

Ater an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. Ater 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great.

Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders.

Holistic herapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause.

2) lowering the self destructive efects of the immune system.

3) using natural therapies that work with your body.

I can work with your immune system NATURALLY and balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder.

BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by speciic recommendation based on those tests.

Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But if you are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C will WORSEN your immune response. hat’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system.

I don’t treat or cure autoimmune disorders.

By using speciic neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inlammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Call for your FREE* 30 minute consultation: On Wednesdays. Expires 2/6/14 Go to my website, Lemontnaturalhealthcare.com, and click on “Autoimmune” for a presentation about my Autoimmune Recovery Program.

Illinois State Police database shows no record of arrest, which is reflected in his employment applications.

Further, as a condition of working in public schools, Matune said he has passed a minimum of four background checks with fingerprinting.

In the news release, Matune apologized for the “missteps made as a college student, including an indecency charge during a fraternity prank,” it reads. “These incidents happened more than 20 years ago and since that time he has become a husband, father, Illinois teacher and IHSA coach of the year.”

“Keith feels the most important part of this election are the specific issues that impact the daily lives of middle class families, not the politics of personal destruction. He is running to be the next state representative to fight for all Illinois families, because of the challenges they face by the heavy burden of taxation, high unemployment and the increasing inability to afford college for our children.

“These are the most pressing issues facing the people of the 81st District, not the youthful mistakes of a college student more than two decades ago.”

The General Primary Election will be held March 18.

A Quality Education in the

Catholic Schools Week A Dozen Ways to Get the Most Out of National Catholic Schools Week

1. Make it special. Plan the types of events that are the most meaningful to your school community and that celebrate your history and traditions.

Tradition.

Open House Tours: Sunday, January 26, 7:45am-3pm

2. But don’t try to do too much. Focus on a few well-organized activities that everyone can enjoy. Recognize what you can do with the resources and budget you have.

3. Incorporate the theme. Personalize it to your school to show how you focus on faith, knowledge and service.

4. Pray together. The opportunity to share faith every day is a gift of Catholic education.

5. Serve together. Catholic Schools Week is a good time to highlight the school’s ongoing commitment to service or launch a new service initiative.

6. Learn something together. Break out from the usual subjects to try something new, a good way to instill a lifelong love of learning.

7. Play together. Set aside some time just for fun.

Meet staf, OLP families, see student work and have a tour of our school!

Date doesn’t work for you, call Our Lady of Peace School at 630-325-9220 to schedule a tour on another day.

8. Center on students. Remind them to reflect on the value of their Catholic education.

9. Recognize teachers. Acknowledge the tremendous difference their service makes in the school’s ability to offer high-quality, faith-filled education.

10. Involve families. Schools and families count on each other to reinforce shared values. Thank families for choosing your school and supporting your efforts to educate their children.

Preschool through 8th grade

11. Single out supporters. Show your appreciation for members of the parish and the community who make your school stronger through their volunteer efforts and support.

Before- and ater-school programs

12. Extend the feeling throughout the school year. Catholic Schools Week is not the only time to recognize what makes Catholic education special.

Instill that feeling in your school community every day.

By KRISTIN PEDICINI WOODRIDGE – In an effort to expand opportunities for local businesses, the Woodridge Area Chamber of Commerce and the Downers Grove Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry will combine to form a single organization.

Uniting the two groups will provide participants with increased marketing and networking opportunities, according to Woodridge Chairman of the Board of Directors Dan Coil.

“It’s going to mean a broader base of businesses for the members,” said, Laura Crawford, CEO and President of the Downers Grove Area of Commerce Chamber & Industry.

The chambers have not yet determined when the alliance will be finalized.

Although they will form one institution, each chamber will maintain a physical presence. Coil said establishing a chamber in only one town would send the wrong message to businesses.

“We don’t want people to think we made a big corporate structure. That’s not what this is about,” Coil said.

The new plan created by the neighboring groups is a forward-looking example for others to follow, he said.

While this is a new move for the chambers, Crawford said, various local entities are making similar shifts. For instance, Downers Grove and Woodridge fire protection have combined to form a single district.

“We’re just following a trend that makes sense,” Crawford said. “It’s good for business.”

The chambers are still in the process of creating a strategic plan and completing the legalities necessary to establish the joint organization, Coil said. A transitional team is being assembled to manage operations, membership, programs and marketing.

The legal and transitional teams are charged with determining how to integrate the two existing systems, according to Coil, who said the chambers will create a cohesive board of directors.

“We need a board and representation [from] both teams,

but I don’t know what it will look like yet,” Coil said.

As the timelines for the merger solidifies, the chamber will inform members and residents with special meetings, newsletters and online postings, according to Coil.

“There might be a corporate waiting period or snag period from legal,” he said.

“We’re waiting for the punch list of things to look out for.”

Since announcing the alliance of the two chambers, Crawford said she’s received nothing but positive responses.

Looking forward, Coil said the chamber is most excited about what the change will mean for members.

“The stronger we can make the business community, the better off both municipalities will be,” Coil said. “The stronger the business climate, the better off the residents will be.”

Restaurant reviews

Hokkaido turns cuisine into performance art OAKBROOK TERRACE – As we walked into Hokkaido Sushi Hibachi Steak House & Lounge, I was struck by the beauty of a mural that appeared 3D. Inside the restaurant that bears the name of Japan’s second largest island, we instantly were greeted by a hostess who asked whether we preferred to sit at the bar or hibachi.

Feeling adventurous, we said yes to the hibachi, which Hokkaido’s website terms a smokeless cooking station.

As she led us through the restaurant, I noticed we were walking on a clear glass floor with fish swimming underneath – a delight for any age (it reminded me of a family trip to Silver Springs, Fla., where we floated in glass-bottom boats). The decor is a deft blend of traditional and modern designs, including Oriental illustrations and motifs with an array of colorful lighting.

In a separate room were four tables with family-style seating and two hibachi grills each. We were seated with a grandmother and her granddaughter from Glen Ellyn.

I ordered the hibachi combination of Hokkaido chicken and shrimp, while my companion chose a sirloin steak and chicken combo.

Hokkaido offers different styles of preparation, such as three ways to prepare your shrimp: golden (with egg), hibachi (lightly seasoned) or garlic. Among side dishes are chicken soup, salad, mixed green vegetables and steamed rice.

The hibachi experience is as much a performance as a meal, with the chef twirling his metal spatula and tapping out sound effects on seasoning containers and the grill.

Each ingredient becomes a character in the play, with the chef acting as narrator and band.

I opted to substitute chicken soup for miso soup as overture. Made with kelp, bits of tofu and green onion, it was

A Statement by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) Catholic schools have a long-standing commitment to academic excellence that is rooted in the faith- based mission of Catholic education. The Common Core State Standards in no way compromise the Catholic identity or educational program of a Catholic school.

The Common Core State Standards initiative, begun in 2007, is a state-led, bipartisan effort that is not a requirement for participation in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) or any other federally- funded program, and there are no mandates for any Catholic school to follow any federal rules if they adopt the Common Core.

Adoption of the Common Core is voluntary; individual states, Catholic dioceses and other private schools make their own decisions about whether to adopt the standards.

The Common Core State Standards are a set of high-quality academic expectations that all students should master by the end of each grade level. The standards establish consistent learning goals for all students that focus on preparing them to succeed in college and careers in a globally competitive workplace. The standards define and clearly communicate grade-specific goals and inform parents about learning outcomes, making it easier for parents to collaborate with teachers in helping their children achieve success.

The Common Core State Standards are not a curriculum. A curriculum includes what is taught, when it is taught, how it is taught and what materials to use. None of these items are included in the Common Core State Standards. For Catholic schools, all of these elements will continue to be determined by diocesan superintendents, principals and teachers working to meet the needs of their students.

The Common Core represents a fundamental shift in the teaching and learning process. The Common Core establishes clear, measurable goals for students that assist teachers in making instructional decisions. The standards place emphasis on creativity, critical and analytical thinking and application to curriculum content. The Common Core is not a national curriculum. It guides the way that instruction takes place in each classroom, allowing the Catholic school to develop its own curriculum content.

An excellent Catholic school provides a rigorous academic curriculum that integrates faith and knowledge. As trained professionals, Catholic school administrators and teachers continually seek the best instructional methods for educating students. In the past, dioceses and schools have developed their own standards or adapted state standards for use with their own curriculum. Some will continue to do this.

To assist those incorporating the new standards, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and partners in Catholic education established the Common Core Catholic Identity Initiative (CCCII). CCCII provides resources to design and direct the implementation of Common Core within the culture and context of a Catholic school curriculum. Thus Catholic schools can infuse the standards with the faith, principles, values and social justice themes inherent in the mission of a Catholic school.

NCEA, the largest private professional education organization in the world, provides leadership, direction and service to its members through a variety of professional development activities that support whatever teaching and learning activities the individual school chooses implement.

Dwight guards come up big to beat Westmont 63-49

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

Craig Etheridge Westmont head coach

Next up for the Sentinels is the Interstate Eight Conference tournament, which begins with a road game Friday and continues through Jan. 31 with Coal City playing host during later tourney dates.

Seeding for the tourney takes place today.

The conference tourney will give Westmont a chance to get back on track, something Etheridge thought happened when the Sentinels went 2-2 during play at their holiday tournament in December.

“We need to start moving in the right direction again,” the coach said. “We played well at Christmas and I thought we were turning the corner and doing things well, but then against Montini [Jan. 14] and Dwight, I thought we took a step back.

“At the conference tournament, I hope we can get back to playing a complete game and eliminate the unforced turnovers that have really hurt us.”

Westmont’s Greg Pietrzak looks to pass during a home game against Reed-Custer earlier this season. Pietrzak and the Sentinels suffered a conference loss to Dwight Friday night.

WESTMONT – Danny LoGiurato and John Kelly were bright spots for Westmont’s boys basketball team Friday night.

Unfortunately, the play of those two seniors wasn’t enough for the Sentinels, who fell 63-49 on the road to Interstate Eight Conference foe Dwight.

“I think we took a step backward,” Westmont head coach Craig Etheridge said.

“Dwight is a good team with good guards and a nice post player. I thought we matched up well with them. I thought our post players could outplay their post players and I thought we could contain their guards.”

In the end, Westmont couldn’t contain Dwight’s guards. Etheridge said the Trojans shot 9-of-21 from 3-point range in the game, but that two of their guards combined to go 7-of-15 from long range.

Trailing throughout the contest, the Sentinels cut the deficit to seven points early in the fourth quarter, but a bad sequence took them out of the game.

“We had a terrible defensive possession and gave up a wide open three,” Etheridge said. “We missed a layup at the other end, then we fouled their kid who grabbed the rebound and he hit both free throws.”

LoGiurato had 17 points, five assists and just two turnovers as Westmont, which was scheduled to host Plano yesterday, slipped to 4-13 overall and 1-5 in I-8 play. Kelly added 11 points and six rebounds.

“We need to start moving in the right direction again. We played well at Christmas and I thought we were turning the corner and doing things well, but then against Montini [Jan. 14] and Dwight, I thought we took a step back.”

Trojans’ D the key to victory

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK JAIDA GREEN

Downers Grove North Sophomore | Basketball Why Green was selected: Green had two personal 6-0 runs against Hinsdale South and scored a team-high 20 points to lift the Trojans to a 71-44 victory.

Fans of humble athletes will love Jaida Green. The Downers Grove North sophomore is listed as a guard on the roster but can play almost any position on the floor, and even when she has a stellar all-around game, as the second-year varsity player did Saturday against Hinsdale South, she deflects praise to her teammates. Green, the Sears Hardware and Appliance Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about her big game and the team’s key upcoming games.

What did you do to help your team get the lead for good against Hinsdale South?

Our defense was kind of bad at the start so I tried to help my team pick it up. The points I scored? That’s all my teammates getting me the ball.

I guarantee 18 points were in transition, so I give all credit to my teammates.

Playing strong defense helped you turn it around. Is that usually the case?

Our defense is definitely what we take pride in. That’s where we are the best. Even if you don’t have the best offense, you can work hard on defense and that will help your offense. I think when we have good defensive games it shows that we’re good enough to compete with any team that’s put in front of us.

You have some big games coming up, including two against Proviso West. How are you feeling about the upcoming games?

It’s so exciting. These are probably going to be the best games that we play so we really need to buckle down, work hard in practice and give it all we’ve got because winning conference is a huge thing for our school.

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – As the most experienced player for Downers Grove North’s girls basketball team, Sarah Costello is able to view things like a coach.

The senior guard certainly sounded like a coach when she broke down the Trojans’ 71-44 win over Hinsdale South Saturday.

“We just had to focus,” Costello said. “In man [defense] we looked a little dead, so once we went to our zone we were talking a lot, flying around, and we got stops.”

Trailing 26-23 midway through the second quarter, the Trojans’ rode their defense on a 15-2 run to close the half.

They stuck with their stifling zone defense to open and even bigger lead in the third quarter as they cruised to victory.

“We like our zone,” said

Downers Grove N. 71 Hinsdale South 44 DGN LEADING SCORERS • Jaida Green: 20 points • Peyton Winters: 14 points • Sarah Costello: 13 points • Lauren Porcelli: Nine points • Arlinda Osmani: Six points

Costello, who buried a pair of 3-pointers final 1:30 of the first half to extend the lead. “It’s fast-paced and we have a lot of length up top and on the wings, and we have Peyton [Winters] to block shots [in the middle], so it works really well for us.”

North head coach Stephan Bolt echoed Costello’s assessment about defense being the key to victory.

“It all starts with defense for us,” Bolt said. “[In the second half] We did a better job talking, pressuring them, forc-

Engo’s effort not enough for Mustangs SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Paul Engo III scored a game-high 14 points, but that effort wasn’t enough for Downers Grove South’s boys basketball team in a 43-41 loss to Kenwood at Downers Grove North’s Winter Classic Shootout Saturday.

With the win, the Trojans won their fourth straight game and improved to 15-2 on the season ahead of one of their most important stretches of the season.

Currently undefeated in conference and looking to claim their first West Suburban Silver title, the Trojans are scheduled to play on the road in back-to-back games against WSS foes Oak Park-River (7 p.m. Thursday) and Proviso West (1:30 p.m. Saturday).

North will face more challenges in conference next week when it plays at Hinsdale Central Jan. 31 before hosting Proviso West on Feb. 1.

By JASON ROSSI Tournaments are a staple of the schedule for high school wrestling teams. Nearly every weekend of the season brings a road trip to a tournament in some corner of the state.

Wrestlers compete in multiple matches per day, sometimes over the course of two days for the bigger tournaments, and dozens of schools flock to host sites in search of several matches and the best competition.

But is it necessary for wrestlers to compete in all those tournaments throughout the season?

“It is very important, because that’s how the postseason is,” Downers Grove South head coach Rick LeBlanc said. “We try to schedule it so our kids get used to wrestling three, four, five matches [a day] and being able to go against the kind of competition they’re going to see in the postseason.”

With the goal of getting his wrestlers ready for the postseason, LeBlanc enters the Mustangs in what are considered some of the best tournaments in the state, including Hinsdale Central’s Rex Whitlatch invite and the Sycamore tournament.

At the same time, he is also conscious of making sure he sends his team to events where every wrestler, not just the elite grap-

“It is important to be in those elite tournaments, but I feel you need a balance, so we do our best to try and schedule for the bulk of our team,” LeBlanc said. “We go to the Whitlatch and that’s definitely

a test for our better kids, but our tournament is a little bit smaller and it’s good competition for kids who aren’t quite at that level.”

Learning how to deal with the physical strain of wrestling five times in one day (the

maximum allowed) is one benefit of tournaments, but it’s not the only benefit. The mental side of staying prepared to face several different quality opponents in one day is another test that can’t be replicated in practice or dual meets.

“Getting the right tournament schedule is paramount for postseason success,” Downers Grove North head coach Chris McGrath said “We try to find tournaments that are big enough that they will provide tough competition for our best kids while also having winnable matches for our younger wrestlers.

“The postseason is all tournament format, so our kids need to learn how to win during the long grind of a tournament.”

The Trojans also have a loaded tournament schedule that includes the two-day Conant invite early in the season, the Whitlatch just before Christmas, Palatine’s Berman invite just after Christmas, and the Batavia invite just before the postseason arrives.

While not entered in as many tournaments, Westmont did participate in the DeKalb tourney over the holidays, squared off with a solid largeschool foe in Addison Trail, and sees some of the best Class 1A opposition in the Interstate Eight Conference.

While there is no substitute for tournament experience, is the grind worth it? McGrath believes it is.

“Tournament success is absolutely transferable to postseason success,” McGrath said. “Kids need to learn how to compete under pressure in a tournament format.”

Area wrestlers making an impact down the stretch SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA With the wrestling state tournament series just around the corner, the favorites for postseason success from the area have emerged. Here’s a list of some of the top wrestlers from local schools.

Will the draft fit Chicago Bears’ needs?

With the week off before the Super Bowl, all eyes are on the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, – yeah, sure – the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., this weekend, it’s time to begin to focus on this year’s NFL College Draft.

Specifically, will the best talent available at the time the Bears select in each round of the draft fit the Bears’ needs?

Here is a given. Teams that skip the best players available when it’s their turn to draft to take a lesser prospect to fill an area of need fail to become good football teams.

Phil Emery and Marc Trestman committed at their season-ending press conference to get younger on defense.

That happens by drafting well.

Lance Briggs and Tim Jennings will be back, and Zack Bowman and Kelvin Hayden will be economical options to resign as well. We can also assume the Bears plan to continue to try and develop Jonathan Bostic and Khaseem Greene, and it seems likely Shea

Hub Arkush

McClellin may end up spending some time at linebacker, too. So the Bears get younger on defense by drafting defensive linemen and safeties.

Offensively, the Bears are in the best shape they’ve been in decades but need depth at running back and tight end.

That may wait, but the development of a young quarterback shouldn’t.

I have no idea if the prospects I’m about to introduce you to interest the Bears or not, but I think the next few months of scouting will prove they should.

Two prospects who might fit with Marc Trestman and, if the Bears get very lucky, could be available in the fourth round but should be in the third are A.J. McCarron of Alabama and Jim-

Masterbrand Cabinetry

my Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois.

McCarron reminds me of a full-sized Russell Wilson, and Garoppolo stole the show at the Shrine Game and is about to become this year’s fast riser at the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine.

This is not a good year to need a true pass-rushing defensive end with the 14th pick in the first round. Only a truly dramatic and expensive move will get the Bears in position for Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina, and that’s not going to happen.

Get to know Kony Ealy of Missouri.

At 6’ 5”, 275 pounds, he is an accomplished, NFL-ready pass rusher who will probably be taken several picks in front of the Bears. If he’s not...Kareem Martin out of North Carolina could be an interesting option if he’s still available in the third or fourth round.

Defensive tackle will be one of the deepest positions in the draft, but will the Bears be sticking with Lovie Smith’s base Tampa Two, which requires a three-technique, or will they

be shopping for larger, space-eating two gap players.

The best three technique prospect is Timmy Jernigan of Florida State, but he’s no where near good enough to merit a pick higher than 20-to-25. Notre Dame’s Louis Nix is the best defensive tackle in the draft and will almost certainly be a top 10 pick, maybe top five.

His teammate, Stephon Tuitt and Minnesota’s Ra’Shede Hageman are the next best prospects and could fit at 14, but at 6’6”, 310 to 315 pounds each, both are best suited to be five technique ends in a 3 – 4 scheme.

At safety, Alabama’s Hasean Clinton-Dix is the prize of the draft and could just be a fit with the Bears at 14.

Second, third and fourth round options are Deone Bucannon of Washington State, Louisville’s Calvin Pryor and Jimmie Ward of Northern Illinois.

There are a ton of 40-yard dashes and agility drills to run between now and the draft, but these are a few of the young men worth keeping an eye on.

Rolling Meadows product and Eastern Illinois alumnus Jimmy Garoppolo shined at the East-West Shrine game and got a late invite to go to Mobile. This will be a stiffer test for Garoppolo to prove he has the arm strength, accuracy and moxie to be an NFL quarterback.

Other local college prospects in Mobile are Northwestern’s Kain Colter, who will play wide receiver, and Illinois linebacker Jonathan Brown.

Now, from a Bears perspective …

Unfortunately, general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman will not be available to talk to the media, so any questions about defensive coordinator Mel

Tucker and the defense will have to wait until the NFL Scouting Combine.

Emery made it clear this draft will be defense-heavy.

With potentially two starting safety positions to fill, the Bears will be looking for athletes who can come up and stop the run, cover tight ends and be a ball-hawking center fielder. Terrence Brooks (Florida State), Deone Bucannon (Washington State) and Ahmad Dixon (Baylor) are expected to be some of the top players in the back end in Mobile.

The Bears’ Henry Melton, Nate Collins and Jeremiah Ratliff are set to hit free agency, so watch the defensive tackle position.

Top prospects Aaron Donald (Pittsburgh), DaQuan Jones

(Penn State) and Will Sutton (Arizona State) will be at the Senior Bowl. The ability for a D-tackle to penetrate, maybe more so than plug the run gap, is important for the Bears’ defense.

Of course, defensive end, linebacker and cornerback are all fair game, too, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Bears take a late-round quarterback. Plus, the QBs always steal the show in Mobile.

Yes, the Senior Bowl is just one piece to the puzzle, but keep in mind what last year’s first-round pick, Kyle Long, tweeted Saturday morning: “It’s crazy Senior Bowl is right around the corner, had I not been invited to that I wouldn’t be a Bear most likely!”
